Stranger Composer(s): Pete Sears - Jeanette Sears Performer(s): Jefferson Starship
Raindrops falling Winter feels so gloomy Hear a knock upon my door Stranger calling Eyes that look like mine He said you know I've called before
What is veiled now soon will be shown Come walk with me through the unknown
Familiar stranger Should I know your name Did we meet some time ago I feel uncertain Shadows whisper to me now Sudden wind begins to blow
What is veiled now soon will be shown Come walk with me through the unknown
Darkened doorways Strangest things can happen Don't know who you're talking to Find yourself When lightning strikes you now You could be looking back at you
What is veiled now soon will be shown Come walk with me through the unknown
What is veiled now soon will be shown Come walk with me through the unknown
Stranger!
Familiar stranger Should I know your name Did we meet some time ago Are you someone I should know Did we meet some time ago

You've seen it all before, we ain't got no taste, we're all a bore You should give us a chance, 'cause we're all victims of circumstance We've had it pretty tough, but that's okay, we like it rough We'll settle the score, survived the reds and two world wars

Yo Composer(s): Villarrojas; J.L. Armenteros Performer(s): Raphael
Yo, que vivia tranquilo En este mismo lugar Yo, que miraba las rosas En primavera brotar Yo, que soñaba despierto Con el sol, con el aire y el mar
Yo, que veia los dias Tras los cristales pasar Yo, que vivia tranquilo Sin conocer que era amar Se que era un mundo distinto Al que tu me quisiste mostrar
Siempre vivire del recuerdo, si Y siempre soñare con tu pelo, si Y siempre pensare que estas cerca Aunque no estes aqui
Nunca te tendre ya en mis brazos, no Y nunca volvere a acariciarte, no Y nunca besare mas tu boca Nunca, nunca jamas
Yo, ahora vivo en la sombra Tu sabe dios donde estas Yo me quede aqui vacio Tu te has marchado sin mas Ya me conformo tan solo Con soñar que algun dia vendras
Strange World Composer(s): Steve Harris First release by: Iron Maiden - 1980
The only place where you can dream living here is not what it seems Ship of white light in the sky nobody there to reason why Here I am, I'm not really there smiling faces ever so rare A let's walk in deepest space living here just isn't the place Stalks of light come from the ground when I cry there isn't a sound All my feelings cannot be held I'm happy in my new strange world Shades of green grasses twine girls drinking plasma wine A look at love, a dream unfolds living here, you'll never grow old Don't you hear me call? Ooh
Yo Composer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez Performer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez; and various other artists
Ando borracho, ando tomando porque el destino cambio mi suerte Ya tu cariño nada me importa mi corazon te olvido pa' siempre
Fuiste en mi vida un sentimiento que destrozo toditita mi alma Quise matarme por tu cariño pero volvi a recobrar la calma
Yo...yo que tanto llore por tus besos yo...yo que siempre te hable sin mentiras hoy...solo puedo brindarte desprecio yo...yo que tanto te quise en la vida...
Una gitana leyo en mi mano que con el tiempo me acordaria esa gitana ha adivinado pero tu vida ya no es la mia
Hoy mi destino lleva otro rumbo tu corazon se quedo muy lejos si ahora me quieres, si ahora me extrañas yo te abandono pa' estar parejos
My Dream Composer(s): Jason Cassar - Sunny Aquilina First performance by: Thea Garrett - 2010
We used to say that dreams could be so true Where am I? What will I be? It's my dream which I could share with you A new day for you and me Just a smile with warmth in my heart and go all the way There's so much in life and I'll sing
This is my dream, I want to make it really happen And make my dream come true This is my dream, I'll make it if I just believe it In a fairytale I'll live it, just like a new born star
Fly above like a seagull on the waves And the sun will shine upon your face Just believe, follow your heart and make it happen Grow much brighter and we'll say
This is my dream, I want to make it really happen And make my dream come true This is my dream, I'll make it if i just believe it There is nothing that could stop me I just want the world to know
This is my dream, and I know that I'll be strong It will come true because I know I'll make it happen This is my dream

Strange Weather Composer(s): Glenn Frey - Jay Oliver - Jack Tempchin Performer(s): Glenn Frey
Here we are on a summer night, staring at the sea Tell me is there something wrong? You know you can talk to me I can hear it in your voice, I can see it in your eyes There's a stillness in the air that makes me wanna cry
Strange weather, dark clouds in the sky Strange weather for you and I
We've been through so much together, But nothing quite like this Something's come between us now, I can't feel it in your kiss So tell me girl what's in your heart, Just put your hand in mine I feel the storm is coming soon And we're running out of time
Strange weather, somehow we'll survive Strange weather, we'll keep our love alive Strange weather, dark clouds in the sky Strange weather for you and I
So think it over one last time, don't say this is the end Cause I remember how it use to be, And it can be that way again
Strange weather, somehow we'll survive Strange weather, we'll keep our love alive Strange weather, dark clouds in the sky Strange weather, for you and I
Yet I Know ((Adapted from: Et Pourtant (Charles Aznavour) - 1963)) Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Georges Garvarentz - Don Raye Performer(s): Charles Aznavour - 1965
Versions In Other Languages: 1965 - Ik weet (Ik Kan Niet Zonder Jou) (Corry Brokken) 1965 - Y Por Tanto (Charles Aznavour)
Yet I know, I know There's no one else for me Yes I know, I know There's no one else for me Yes I know, I know There's no one else for me Yes I know
Someday I hope I wake up feeling differently And find at last that you and I are through I'll be free of the love that has chained me to you Yet I know, Yet I know You won't believe that I am really leaving you And that I'll take back my heart with no regrets Not a tear, not a sigh, I'll just say "Goodbye" Then I'll turn and walk out of your life And forget
Yet I know, I know There's no one else for me Yes I know, I know There's no one else for me Yes I know, I know There's no one else for me Yes I know
I'll find two arms, two other lips to welcome me And you'll become a faded memory Out of site, out of mind and my heart will be free Yet I know, yet I know You'll think I'm weak and I'll come running back to you So you'll be strong and play the waiting game Don't wait too many years when I dry my tears And I'll almost forget how you look And your name
Yet I know, I know There's no one else for me Yes I know, I know There's no one else for me Yes I know, I know There's no one else for me Yet I know
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'
