Stone Cold Composer(s): Ritchie Blackmore - Roger Glover - Joe Lynn Turner Performer(s): Rainbow
Every night I have the same old dream 'bout you and me and what's in between So many changes so many lies Try to run try to hide from everything that I feel inside But I can't escape you or your frozen eyes
Searching in the darkness Fading out of sight Love was here and gone like a thief in the night
Stone cold and I thought I knew you so well Stone cold can't break away from your spell Another dark and empty night if I was wrong I wanna make it right But you are so distant so far away Your words like ice fall on the ground breaking the silence without a sound Oh familiar strangers with nothing to say
Searching in the darkness Fading out of sight Love was here and gone like a thief in the night
Stone cold and I thought I knew you so well Stone cold I can't break away from your spell You leave me stone cold Searching in the darkness Fading out of sight Love was here and gone like a thief in the night
Stone cold and I thought I knew you so well You're stone cold yeah I can't break away from your spell Stone cold baby I thought I knew you so well You're stone cold ... ice cold ... can't break away from your spell You put me in the deep freeze [stone cold] Oh baby don't you leave me [I thought I knew you so well] Stone stone cold your leavin' me cold [can't break away from your spell] Stone cold I thought I knew you so well Stone cold can't break away from your spell Stone cold I thought I knew you so well Stone cold can't break away from your spell
Honky Tonk Heroes Composer(s): Billy Joe Shaver Performer(s): Waylon Jennings; and various other artists
Low down leaving sun I've done did everything that needs done Woe is me, why can't I see I best be leaving well enough alone Them neon light nights, couldn't stay out of fights They keep a-haunting me in memories Well there's one in every crowd, for crying out loud Why was it always turning out be me
Where does it go, the good Lord only knows Seems like it was just the other day I was down at Green Gables, hawking them tables And generally blowing all my hard earned pay Piano roll blues, danced holes in my shoes There weren't another other way to be For loveable losers, no account boozers And honky tonk heroes like me
Yeah, yeah
(Repeat Chorus) Where does it go, the good Lord only knows Seems like it was just the other day I was down at Green Gables, hawking them tables And generally blowing all my hard earned pay Piano roll blues, danced holes in my shoes There weren't another other way to be For loveable losers, no account boozers And honky tonk heroes like me
Todas As Ruas Do Amor Composer(s): Pedro Marques - Paulo Pereira First performance by: Flor-de-Lis - 2009
Se sou tinta tu és tela Se sou chuva és aguarela Se sou sal és branca areia Se sou mar és maré-cheia Se sou céu és nuvem nele Se sou estrela és de encantar Se sou noite és luz para ela Se sou dia és o luar
Sou a voz do coração Numa carta aberta ao mundo Sou o espelho demoção Do teu olhar Profundo Sou um todo Num instante Corpo dado Em jeito amante Sou o tempo que não passa Quando a saudade Me abraça
Beija o mar o vento e a lua Sou um sol Em neve nua em todas as ruas Do amor Serás meu e eu serei tua
Se sou tinta tu és tela Se sou chuva És aguarela Se sou sal És branca areia Se sou mar és maré cheia Se sou céu és nuvem nele Se sou estrela és de encantar Se sou noite és luz para ela Se sou dia és o luar
Beija o mar o vento e a lua Sou um sol em neve nua Em todas as ruas Do amor Serás meu e eu serei tua

It took a light from a honky-tonk Put the beam in your eye It took a record from a jukebox And it bid my gal goodbye And now she's gone, honky-tonk gal
Oh, she said she didn't love me She didn't care no more She'd rather spend her life now On a honky-tonk hardwood floor But I'll be gone, honky-tonk gal
Someday you'll come back cryin' Someday you will be blue And that mean ol' honky-tonkin' life Will get the best off you But I'll be gone, honky-tonk gal
Lord, I stand right up and tell you I sit right down and cry Sweetheart if you should leave me now I know I'll lay and die And I'll be gone, honky-tonk gal
It took a light from a honky-tonk Put the beam in your eye It took a record from a jukebox And it bid my gal goodbye And now she's gone, honky-tonk gal
La, da, dee, la, da, do, La, da, dee, la, da, do La, da, dee, la, da, do, La, da, dee, la, da, do You'd rather spend your life On a honky-tonk hardwood floor But I'll be gone, honky-tonk gal
Stone Composer(s): Ronnie Lane Performer(s): Small Faces
Once I was a stone many years ago Into a pool was thrown many years ago Time passed by, the pool ran dry, excavated was I And tempered and beat in a fiery heat By the hand of a man, who's name was Dan Dan the blacksmith
Once I was a sword, many years ago And my blade was broad, many years ago Worn with pride, into battle I'd ride at a warrior's side And I cut and I killed and was lost in a field And I soon did rust, corrode to dust Oh my
Once I was a daisy, many years ago In pastures green and lazy, many years ago But I was et by a goat who fell in a moat and forgetting to float He sunk like a lead and stayed until dead But was relieved to find just how kind it all was
Once I was a grub, many years ago I lived in muck and mud, many years ago But on the very first noon I became a cocoon that resembled a prune When the Good Lord was done in the warmth of the sun I shed my skins, and dried my wings, and I flew away
Once I was a bullfrog, had to struggle for survival And once I was a carp and lived in waters ornamental And once I was a myna bird, quoting verses from the Bible Said "pretty boy, pretty boy, St. Luke"
Once I was a mule, a many years ago But my master treat me cruel, a many years ago By and by I was sick, couldn't move to his kick, so he took out a stick And hit it right 'cross my back to an almighty crack And to his dismay, I passed away, into the blue
I was born a human baby, many years ago I was born unto a lady, many years ago All our hopes they were piled on the back of a child that turned out to be wild Sent the devil a prayer and caused the parson to swear So I took my leave to lie and thieve my way to jail
I've been tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor I've known good times and disaster But now I've found a teacher, and the teacher has a master The master is perfection, so he'll help us get there faster I don't need no proof, because that's the truth, and I'll drink to that
Honky Tonk Downstairs Composer(s): Dallas Frazier Performer(s): George Jones; and various other artists
Well, it won't be long now Until that ol' sun goes down And darkness helps me hide my shameful tears My wife works all night long For a man who's halfway gone She's the barmaid in the honky-tonk downstairs
It's a shame she wears the name Of a man who's locked and chained To a bottle that's destroyin' all hopes and cares To the men with the hungry eyes She works and hides her pride She's the barmaid in the honky-tonk downstairs
It's a shame she wears the name Of a man who's locked and chained To a bottle that's destroyin' all hopes and cares To the men with the hungry eyes She works and hides her pride She's the barmaid in the honky-tonk downstairs
La Voix Composer(s): Malena Ernman - Fredrik Kempe First performance by: Malena Ernman - 2009
Can you keep a secret? Can you keep a secret? Im in love with you Can you make a promise? Can you make a promise? Stay forever true, oh But Im forever yours
Je taime, amour, quand jentends la voix Je taime, ma vie, cest jamais sans toi Jvis ma vie pour toi, cest lunivers pour moi Je taime, amour, quand jentends la voix

Je taime, amour, quand jentends la voix Je taime, ma vie, cest jamais sans toi Jvis ma vie pour toi, cest lunivers pour moi Je taime, amour, quand jentends la voix

She'd be hurt if she knew I was drinkin' Cause one's too much and twelve's not enough She knows how it messes up my thinkin' How it makes me look for someone else to love
I get honky tonk amnesia I forget where all my love belongs I get honky tonk amnesia And sometimes it lasts all night long
She'll accept my story without question About the overtime I'm puttin' in Till someone calls, she'll tell them that I'm restin' While I wonder what I've done and where I've been
I get honky tonk amnesia I forget where all my love belongs I get honky tonk amnesia And sometimes it lasts all night long
Stomping At The Savoy Composer(s): Edgar M. Sampson - Chick William Webb - Benny Goodman First release by: Chick Webb's Savoy Orch. - 1934 Covered by multiple other artists
Savoy, the home of sweet romance Savoy, it wins you at a glance Savoy, gives happy feet a chance to dance
Your form, just like a clingin' vine Your lips, as warm and sweet as wine Your cheek, so soft and close to mine, divine
How my heart is singin' While the band is swingin' Never tired of rompin' An' Stompin' with you at the Savoy
What joy, a perfect holiday Savoy, where we can glide and sway There let me stomp away with you
Savoy Savoy Savoy
Your form just like a clingin' vine Your lips, as warm and sweet as wine Your cheek, so soft and close to mine, divine
Oh, how my heart is singin' While the band is swingin' Never tired of rompin' An' Stompin' with you at the Savoy
What joy Savoy Savoy, there let me stomp away With you
Honky Cat Composer(s): Elton John; Bernie Taupin Performer(s): Elton John; and various other artists
When I look back boy I must have been green Bopping in the country, fishing in a stream Looking for an answer trying to find a sign Until I saw your city lights honey I was blind
They said get back honky cat Better get back to the woods Well I quit those days and my redneck ways And oh the change is gonna do me good
You better get back honky cat Living in the city ain't where it's at It's like trying to find gold in a silver mine It's like trying to drink whisky from a bottle of wine
Well I read some books and I read some magazines About those high class ladies down in New Orleans And all the folks back home well, said I was a fool They said oh, believe in the Lord is the golden rule
They said stay at home boy, you gotta tend the farm Living in the city boy, is going to break your heart But how can you stay, when your heart says no How can you stop when your feet say go
Et S'il Fallait Le Faire Composer(s): Anze Lazio - Fred Blondin
First performance by: Patricia Kaas - 2009
{Fréhel} Et puis regarde-moi D'abord, premièrement, c'est une chanson sentimentale Ça se chante avec tout son cur Tiens, regarde!
S'il fallait le faire J'arrêterais la Terre J'éteindrais la lumière Que tu restes endormi S'il fallait pour te plaire Lever des vents contraires Dans un désert sans vie Je trouverais la mer
Et s'il fallait le faire J'arrêterais la pluie Elle fera demi-tour Le reste de nos vies S'il fallait pour te plaire T'écouter chaque nuit Quand tu parles d'amour J'en parlerais aussi
Que tu regardes encore Dans le fond de mes yeux Que tu y voies encore Le plus grand des grands feux Et que ta main se colle Sur ma peau, où elle veut Un jour si tu t'envoles Je suivrai si je peux
Et s'il fallait le faire Je repousserais l'hiver À grands coups de printemps Et de longs matins clairs S'il fallait pour te plaire J'arrêterais le temps Que tous tes mots d'hier Restent à moi maintenant
Que je regarde encore Dans le bleu de tes yeux Que tes deux mains encore Se perdent dans mes cheveux Je ferais tout plus grand Et si c'est trop ou peu J'aurais tort tout le temps Si c'est ça que tu veux
Je veux bien tout donner Si seulement tu y crois Mon cur veut bien saigner Si seulement tu le vois Jusqu'à n'être plus rien Que l'ombre de tes nuits Jusqu'à n'être plus rien Qu'une ombre qui te suit
Stomp! Composer(s): Valerie Johnson - George Johnson - Louis Johnson - Rod Temperton Performer(s): The Brothers Johnson
Steppin' out the weekends open wide Fill it up let's blast the jams and ride While we're cruisin' around in the street Listen up for the party in feet
Slap me five that's the place we've arrived it's alive Ev'rybody take it to the top we're gonna Stomp all night wanna party Till morning light
Runnin' runnin' runnin' The set is hot there's people wall to wall Old gones young things short ones standing tall Grab the one with the smile on her face
And hit the floor and stay right on the case The heat is on and the funk just won't leave us alone Ev'rybody take it to the top we're gonna
Stomp all night in the neighbourhood Don't it feel all right gonna Stomp all night wanna party Till morning light
Stomp step down in it put your foot Where you feel the fit Stomp you don't want to quit Put your heels where you're feeling it
Stomp all night in the neighbourhood Don't it feel all right gonna Stomp all night wanna party Till morning light

Slanted eyes meet a new sunrise a race of bodies small in size Chicken Chow Mein and Chop Suey Hong Kong Garden takeaway Hong Kong Garden
Love Composer(s): Sasha Son First performance by: Sasha Son - 2009
I've had it all, as a little child I've done it all, as a little child But the pain that I had For the fame that I got, was for what?
A little girl is crying alone A little boy, searching for his home Giving up to a sin for a heart-craving dream Is that a sin?
If you really love the love you say you love, really love Then surely that love would love Then surely that love would love to love you back
If you really love the love you say you love, really love Then surely that love would love Then surely that love will love you back
For just one moment, we all wanna be Just as happy as one can be (So don't you make the same mistake) (You gotta give for what you take) And don't you break
A little girl or boy crying at home alone A faithful song will lead the way To make you strong
If you really love the love you say you love, really love Then surely that love would love Then surely that love would love to love you back
If you really love the love you say you love, really love Then surely that love would love Then surely that love
If you really love If you really love the love you say you love, really love Then surely that love would love Then surely that love would love to love you back
If you really love the love you say you love, really love Then surely that love would love Then surely that love Then surely that love Then surely that love will love you back Will love you back

Sittin' in a Hong Kong bar Sweet dreams of you darling Ah when we were sweet sixteen Mama makin' love in the belly of an old freight train Life was so simple and easy Oh the sun went down You took care of the children darlin' Then you felt like movin' away, Lord now you didn't stand and stare You felt like movin' and leavin' darlin' Didn't I treat you fair It's all right now darlin' It's alright now darlin'
Stolen Moments Composer(s): Oliver Nelson First release by: Oliver Nelson - 1961 Covered by multiple other artists
Stolen moments... Stolen moments... If I told you I love you, pretty baby Would it make up for what they say? If I hold you and shield you, darlin` Will you linger awhile today? If I hold you and hug you My kissin` won`t bug you The gossips won`t hurt you I`ll never desert you And someday will find us Where people won`t bind us To the hands of time I can use more than moments, pretty baby And I know where you steal them from There are so many things I`ll teach you And they call me a useless bum They just chatter and clatter And patter and matter They titter and twitter Their glitter gets bitter But we`re here I steered here It`s weird here Those beards, dear Watch the pantomime Watch the pantomime

Honey, honey Oh, honey, listen to my plea
Every honeybee Fills with jealousy When they see you out with me! I don't blame them, goodness knows Oh, honey! suckle rose!
When you're passin' by Flowers droop and sigh And I know the reason why You're my sweety, goodness knows Oh, honey! suckle rose!
