Siren Composer(s): Robin Juhkental First performance by: Malcolm Lincoln & Manpower 4 - 2010
Siren in my head, is making awful sound It's time to make it clear What is lost and what is found?
My life has been oh lame Has been oh lame so far I wasted years, I wasted time Trying to reach the stars My life has been oh lame Has been oh lame so far
Give me time and give me strength Give me strenght to carry on Give me bit of hope now, help me through the night Give me time and give me strength Give me strenght to carry on Give me bit of hope now, help me through the night
Siren in my head, yes, I can hear it again Is it just the beginning, or is it the end?
My life has been oh lame Has been oh lame so far I wasted years, I wasted time Trying to reach the stars My life has been oh lame Has been oh lame so far
Give me time and give me strength Give me strenght to carry on Give me bit of hope now, help me through the night Give me time and give me strength Give me strenght to carry on Give me bit of hope now, help me through the night
Give me time and give me strength Give me strenght to carry on Give me bit of hope now, help me through the night Give me time and give me strenght Give me strenght to carry on Give me bit of hope now, help me through the night
Yesterday's Songs Composer(s): Neil Diamond Performer(s): Neil Diamond; Gary Tesca
Yesterday's songs Don't stay around long Not much anymore Yesterday's words Don't make themselves heard Like they did before
Baby, yesterday's blues May be yesterday's news But the truth always stays the same And the good things will never change Like sayin' 'I love you' Sayin' 'I love you'
Yesterday's songs Don't seem to belong They're here and they're gone
Yesterday's moves Don't stay in the grooves They keep moving on
Maybe yesterday's rhyme Was for yesterday's time And the future's not ours to see But there's some things that always will be Like sayin' 'I love you' Sayin' 'I love you'
Strange Music Composer(s): Edvard Grieg - George Forrest - Robert C. Wright Performer(s): Bing Crosby and multiple other artists
Soft breeze, whispering trees The summer winds are sighing The leaves are lullabying Violins are all around you I can hear the chords resound Of sounding brass That seems to say I've found I've found you, I've found you
Strange music in my ears Only now as you spoke, did it start Strange music of the sphere Could its lovely hum be coming from my heart? You appear and I hear song sublime Song that I'm incapable of So Dear, let me hold you near While we treasure ev'ry measure So that time can never change The strange, new music of love
So Dear, let me hold you near While we treasure ev'ry measure So that time can never change The strange, new music of love
In A Moment Like This Composer(s): Thomas G:son - Henrik Sethsson - Erik Bernholm First performance by: Chanée & N'Evergreen - 2010
For as long as I remember For as long as I've been blue Every day since we've been parted All I thought about was you
Didn't need the time for sorrow Didn't need the time for pain What am I supposed to do When living without you Was the worst I ever knew?
In a moment like this Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know what you're looking for Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know if you'll ask for more Oh... in a moment like this Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know what I have to do Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know how to get to you Oh... in a moment like this
Ever since the day you left me Ooh ever since you went away I'm lost and I don't know Where am I supposed to go? I still miss you so
In a moment like this Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know what you're looking for Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know if you'll ask for more Oh... in a moment like this
When I need for you to hold me Say you love and never leave me My heart will forever be true
In a moment like this Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know what you're looking for Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know if you'll ask for more Oh... in a moment like this Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know what I have to do Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know how to get to you Oh... in a moment like this
Goin' to the place where we used to park Just like always, it was still and dark But it was a little too much for my poor heart Yesterday's mem'ries tore me apart
Today I walked down to that little café where we used to go And I waited for our favourite booth The one we always sat in, not too long ago But when I sat down, tears began to flow Yesterday's mem'ries won't let me go
Anymore, if there's anyone around I start to cry I just say, "Excuse me, but there's a mem'ry in my eye" Oh my friends, things were mine, they ought to be That I was happy with new arms wrapped around me But as I lied, I cried, and they could see Yesterday's mem'ries, got hold of me
Yesterday's Hero Composer(s): Harry Vanda; George Young Performer(s): The Bay City Rollers; Ignatius Jones; John Paul Young
When we walk down the street See the people who stop and stare And say, haven`t I seen that face Somewhere a long time ago
When we walk down the street See the stranger who says Why, hi, well, how you doing, buddy When you walked on by I thought I`d say hello
They say, haven`t I Seen your face before Weren`t you the boy That used to live next door Weren`t you on Television every night Haven`t I seen you round
(Chorus) We don`t wanna be A yesterday`s hero Yesterday`s hero That`s all we`ll be We don`t wanna be A yesterday`s hero Yesterday`s hero Is all that we`re gonna be If we don`t get together Make a new plan and Be constantly better All that we`ll be if we Don`t get it together now
When we walk down the street If you know me, then pass me by If you wonder what I`m doing Don`t ask me why I don`t read the news
When we walk down the street If you`re sorry Then don`t feel bad If you follow my story I`m just as glad You ain`t in my shoes
Because haven`t you Seen my face before Yes, I was the boy Who used to live next door Yes, I was on Television every night Haven`t you seen me round
(Chorus)
We don`t wanna be Yesterday`s hero Yesterday`s hero, no, no
We don`t wanna be Yesterday`s hero, no Yesterday`s hero, no, no
We don`t wanna be Yesterday`s hero Yesterday`s hero, no, no
Yesterday's Gone Composer(s): Chad Stuart; Wendy Kidd Performer(s): Chad & Jeremy; The Bee Gees; The Boxmasters; The Browns; Patricia Kelly; Brenda Lee; The Osborne Brothers; The Overlanders; Chad Stuart
I loved you all the summer through I thought I'd found my dream in you For me you were the one But that was yesterday and yesterday's gone
We walked together hand in hand 'cross miles and miles of golden sand But now it's over and done 'cause that was yesterday and yesterday's gone
We had such happiness together I can't believe it's gone forever
Wait 'til summer comes again I hope that you'll remember when Our love had just begun I loved you yesterday and yesterday's gone
------ guitar solo ------
We had such happiness together I can't believe it's gone forever
Wait 'til summer comes again I hope that you'll remember when Our love had just begun I loved you yesterday and yesterday's gone Yesterday's gone Yesterday's gone Yesterday's gone
Strange Lady In Town Composer(s): Dimitri Tiomkin - Ned Washington Performer(s): Frankie Laine; Mitch Miller
Strange lady in town, strange lady in town She's all that any man could ever hope or pray for If I were king, I'd trade the crown For that strange, strange lady in town (Strange lady in town)
Oh, heart of mine, you're in danger There's a strange lady in town Who is this heart-stealin' stranger? Who is turnin' the town upside down
Here hair is red as the settin' sun Her lips are ripe as the corn The lights that rise in her sea-green eyes Make a man kinda glad he was born
Strange lady in town, strange lady in town She's all that any man could ever hope or pray for If I were king, I'd trade the crown For that strange, strange lady in town (Strange lady in town)
Ain't got no ring for her finger And I can't buy her a gown But rain or shine, I'll still make her mine That strange, strange lady in town
Strange lady in town, strange lady in town She's all that any man could ever hope or pray for If I were king, I'd trade the crown For that strange, strange lady in town
Yesterday's Dreams Composer(s): Pam Sawyer; Ivory Joe Hunter; Jack Goga: Vernon Bullock Performer(s): The Four Tops
Yesterday's dreams today are sorrow Just like your love, girl, fading away Yesterday's love won't last till tomorrow I know you're leaving, but what can I say? Oh (oh) wish that I could find a way To make you stay; I've got to prove to you That I love you, I need you, oh how I need you Don't go (don't go) don't go (don't go) If you go, don't you know You're gonna leave me with...
Yesterday's dreams though gone & behind us They're lonely reminders of plans that we made Yesterday's plans today gone forever But they're locked here inside me & they never will fade Although (although) you may go, time will show me Dreamin' still, & I always will 'Cause I love you, I need you, oh how I need you Don't you go (don't go) don't you leave me, baby (don't go) Baby don't you leave me (don't go) please don't leave me (Don't go) here with yesterday's dreams
Although (although) you may go, time will show me Dreamin' still, & I always will Yesterday's dreams are a small pile of ashes With one burning hope that hangs on
Yesterday's Dreams Composer(s): Michael Carr; Francis Day Performer(s): Flanagan & Allen; Hutch
Yesterday's dreams were born with a smile Yesterday's dreams just lay there a while We lived and laughed and the world was ours Then came the teardrops of April showers
Yesterday's dreams are so far away Gone with the dawn that brought us today Maybe tomorrow well see a dreamboat sail into view Then yesterday's dreams will all come true
Yesterday's dreams are so far away Gone with the dawn that brought us today Maybe tomorrow well see a dreamboat sail into view Then yesterday's dreams will all come true
(spoken) Yesterday's dreams, just remember Are always so far away So far away, and theyve gone with the dawn Perhaps never to return who knows
Maybe tomorrow well see a dreamboat sail into view Then yesterday's dreams will all come true
Marina Del Rey Composer(s): Dean Dillon - Frank Dycus Performer(s): George Strait; Kyle Newmaster; Pickin' On
We said goodbye in Marina del Rey "I had a good time" was the last thing I heard her say As I walked away And on the plane back to Tennessee My mind comes across her memory And yesterday in Marina del Rey
On a hidden beach under a golden sun She spread a blanket that we laid down on And loved the world away In Marina del Rey And as we looked into each other's eyes We found our bodies lost in paradise Like castaways in Marina del Rey
Like the ocean tides, highs and lows Love sometimes comes and goes away In Marina del Rey And as this plane is touching down Tears touch my eyes for I have found My heart has stayed in Marina del Rey
On a hidden beach under a golden sun She spread a blanket that we laid down on And loved the world away In Marina del Rey And as we looked into each other's eyes We found our bodies lost in paradise Like castaways in Marina del Rey
Yesterdays Composer(s): Jerome Kern; Otto Harbach Performer(s): Adele Leigh; and various other artists
Yesterdays, Yesterdays Days I knew as happy Sweet sequester days Olden days, golden days Days of mad romance and love Then gay youth was mine, truth was mine Joyous free and flaming life Forsooth, was mine Sad am I, glad am I For today Im dreaming of Yesterdays
(Musical Break)
Olden days, golden days Days of mad romance and love Then gay youth was mine, truth was mine Joyous free and flaming life Forsooth, was mine Sad am I, glad am I For today Im dreaming of Yesterdays
If You're Thinking You Want A Stranger (There's One Coming Home)
If You're Thinking You Want A Stranger (There's One Coming Home) Composer(s): Blake Mevis - David Wills Performer(s): George Strait
Lately you've been showing all the signs Of a woman with someone else on her mind It's not your fault It's the nights I've left you alone And if you're thinking You want a stranger There's one coming home
If you're thinking You want a stranger I'll soon be there You're gonna see A change in me This time I swear No more late nights Coming in at daylight And no more doing you wrong 'Cause if you're thinking You want a stranger There's one coming home
Bought you a silk gown And perfume today Picked up some roses And champagne on the way Ohh I called and asked you to put Some soft music on 'Cause if you're thinking You want a stranger There's one coming home
If you're thinking You want a stranger I'll soon be there You're gonna see A change in me This time I swear No more late nights Coming in at daylight And no more doing you wrong 'Cause if you're thinking You want a stranger There's one coming home

Yesterday when I was young the taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue I teased at life as if it were a foolish game the way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame The thousand dreams I dreamed, the splendid things I planned I always built alas on weak and shifting sand I lived by night and shunned the naked light of the day and only now I see how the years ran away
Yesterday when I was young so many drinking songs were waiting to be sung so many wayward pleasures lay in store for me and so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out I never stopped to think what life was all about and every conversation I can now recall concerned itself with me and nothing else at all
Yesterday the moon was blue and every crazy day brought something new to do I used my magic age as if it were a wand and never saw the waste and emptiness beyond The game of love I played with arrogance and pride and every flame I lit too quickly quickly died The friends I made all seemed somehow to drift away and only I am left on stage to end the play There are so many songs in me that won't be sung I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue The time has come for me to pay for yesterday when I was young
Strange Fruit Composer(s): Lewis Allan First release by: Billie Holiday - 1939 Covered by multiple other artists
Southern trees bear strange fruit Blood on the leaves Blood at the root Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees Pastoral scene of the gallant south The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth The scent of magnolia sweet and fresh Then the sudden smell of burning flesh Here is a fruit for the crows to pluck for the rain to gather for the wind to suck for the sun to rot for the tree to drop Here is a strange and bitter crop
Yesterday Once More
((French Version: Sha La La (Hier Est Près De Moi) - 1974))
Composer(s): John Bettis; Richard Carpenter
First release by: The Carpenters - 1973
Covered by multiple other artists
When I was young
I´d listen to the radio
Waitin´ for my favorite songs
When they played I´d sing along
It made me smile
Those were such happy times
And not so long ago
How I wondered where they´d gone
But they´re back again
Just like a long lost friend
All the songs I loved so well
Every Sha-la-la-la
Every Wo-o-wo-o
Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they´re startin´ to sing´s
So fine
When they get to the part
Where he´s breakin´ her heart
It can really make me cry
Just like before
It´s yesterday once more
Lookin´ back on how it was
In years gone by
And the good times that I had
Makes today seem rather sad
So much has changed
It was songs of love that
I would sing to then
And I´d memorize each word
Those old melodies
Still sound so good to me
As they melt the years away
Every Sha-la-la-la
Every Wo-o-wo-o
Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they´re startin´ to sing´s
So fine
All my best memories
Come back clearly to me
Some can even make me cry
Just like before
It´s yesterday once more
