What For? Composer(s): Janis Lusens - Guntars Racs First performance by: Aisha - 2010
I've asked my angels why, but they don't know What for do mothers cry and rivers flow? Why are the skies so blue and mountains high? What for is your love always passing by?
I've asked my uncle Joe, but he can't speak Why does the wind still blow and blood still leaks? So many questions now with no reply What for do people live until they die?
What for are we living? What for are we crying? What for are we dying? Only Mr God knows why
What for are we living? What for are we dreaming? What for are we losing? Only Mr God knows why
But his phone today is out of range
The sun in colour black is rising high The time is turning back, I wonder why So many questions now with no reply What for do people live until they die?
What for are we living? What for are we crying? What for are we dying? Only Mr God knows why
What for are we living? What for are we dreaming? What for are we losing? Only Mr God knows why
(What for are we living?) What for we're living? (What for are we crying?) Crying (What for are we dying?) Dying (Only Mr God knows why) Mr God knows why
(What for are we living?) (What for are we dreaming?) Dreaming (What for are we losing?) (Only Mr God knows why) Only God knows why
Yester-Me, Yester-You, Yesterday Composer(s): Ron Miller; Bryan Wells Performer(s): Stevie Wonder; and various other artists
What happened to the world we knew When we would dream and scheme And while the time away Yesterme yesteryou yesterday Where did it go that yester glow When we could feel The wheel of life turn our way Yesterme yesteryou yesterday I had a dream so did you life Was warm and love was true Two kids who followed all the rules Yester folls and now Now it seems those yester dreams Were just a cruel And foolish game we used to play Yesterme yesteryou yesterday When I recall what we had I feel lost I feel sad with nothing but The memory of yester love and now Now it seems those yester dreams Were just a cruel And foolish game we had to play Yesterme yesteryou yesterday Yesterme yesteryou yesterday Sing with me Yesterme yesteryou yesterday One more time.....
Strange Street Affair Under Blue Composer(s): Larry Beckett - Tim Buckley Performer(s): Tim Buckley
Just for you with your open hands Waiting for the touch of man Clutching with your blackened gloves You try to capture all the doves That flee into The forest before you
You wish to catch and cage me now I wonder if you remember how Hard it was to say the names Of mirror dreams and cheated games And on the wall You framed your first lover
Your form intrigues me with the glow I'll remember you I know Though I forgot to lock the chain Around you with a prayer for rain To bring the call To drive you back into my bed
Ahhh.... She turns away Telling me to follow for a while Ahhh.... She waits
You'd be touched if you would touch But you only reach and taunt Will my taste stay grey and blue If I try to turn from you
Yesterday's Winner Is A Loser Today Composer(s): Ernest Tubb; Jimmie Skinner; Jesse Rodgers Performer(s): Ernest Tubb; James King; Jimmie Skinner
The world loves a winner but someone must lose There's bound to be someone left with the blues
So why should I worry when you go away Yesterday's winner is a loser today Now I know that I find this heart to play fair But somehow I wonder if you really care
Was it love that you gave dear, or just foolish play Yesterday's winner is a loser today
Instrumentals Guitar & Steel
Now I know there was someone in your life before And I'm sure it's that someone that you still adore Oh I wish it was different but there's no other way Yesterday's winner is a loser today
So goodbye little darlin I'm sorry we met It's easy to love but so hard to forget Just remember my story here's all I can say ... Yesterday's winner is a loser today
Mitä minä laulan kun rakastunut oon Kantaako mun rakkauteni laulun kuutamoon Samettia, silkkiä ja kultalankaa vaan Siitä minun kullalleni paita ommellaan
Mitä minä laulan kun ittekseni meen Mietin miksi aina uutta laulua mä teen Kaksi kummaa lintua jo taivaanrannan taa Lentää silloin kun on aika laulu lopettaa
Yesterday's Wine Composer(s): Willie Nelson Performer(s): Willie Nelson; David Allan Coe; Merle Haggard; George Jones; Carl Manchaca; Marian Montgomery
Miracles appear in the strangest of places Fancy meeting you here The last time I saw you was just out of Houston Sit down, let me buy you a beer
Your presence is welcome with me and my friend here This is a hangout of mine We come here quite often and listen to music Partaking of yesterday's wine
(Chorus) Yesterday's wine, I'm yesterday's wine Aging with time, like yesterday's wine Yesterday's wine, we're yesterday's wine Aging with time, like yesterday's wine
You give the appearence of one widely travelled I'll bet you've seen things in your time So sit down beside me and tell me your story If you think you'll like yesterday's wine
Strange Phenomena Composer(s): Kate Bush Performer(s): Kate Bush
Soon it will be the phase of the moon When people tune in Every girl knows about the punctual blues But who's to know the power behind our moves?
A day of coincidence with the radio And a word that won't go away We know what they're all going to say "G" arrives--"Funny, had a feeling he was on his way!"
We raise our hats to the strange phenomena Soul-birds of a feather flock together We raise our hats to the hand a-moulding us Sure 'nuff, he has the answer He has the answer He has the answer, be-duh-be-duh-be-duh-be-duh... "Om mani padme Om mani padme Om mani padme hum"
You pick up a paper You read a name You go out It turns up again and again You bump into a friend you haven't seen for a long time Then into another you only thought about last night
You hear your sister calling for you But you don't know where from You know there's something wrong But you don't want to believe in a premonition
We raise our hats to the strange phenomena Soul-birds of a feather flock together We raise our hats to the hand a-moulding us Sure 'nuff, he has the answer He has the answer He has the answer, be-duh-be-duh-be-duh-be-duh... "Om mani padme Om mani padme Om mani padme hum"
"Om mani padme hum Om mani padme hum Om mani padme hum Om mani padme hum..."
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
