Stand By Composer(s): Radiosa Romani First performance by: Senit - 2011
Oh, the sea
Waves of eternity, waves of serenity As I stare through them all around me just dies Tonight I will pretend there's no more time? Let's lock our doors and leave this endless world outside
But if you don't mind, I will be here Holding back those years that pass us by And in a natural high, you hold my hand, we'll take a breath So tonight, if you don't mind, I will stand by
Oh, this life, something so beautiful but hard in the same time Taught me could be gone in a blink of an eye Tonight can we pretend there's no more time? Let's lock our doors and leave this endless world outside
If you don't mind, I will be here Holding back those years that pass us by
And in a natural high, you hold my hand, we'll take a breath So tonight, if you don't mind, I will stand by (I will be here) Holding back, holding back (Years that pass us by) And in a natural high you'll hold my hand, we'll take a breath
Cheeseburger In Paradise
Composer(s): Jimmy Buffett
Performer(s): Jimmy Buffett
and multiple other artists
Tried to amend my carnivorous habits Made it nearly seventy days Losin' weight without speed, eatin' sunflower seeds Drinkin' lots of carrot juice and soakin' up rays But at night I'd have these wonderful dreams Some kind of sensuous treat Not zucchini, fettucini or bulgar wheat But a big warm bun and a huge hunk of meat
Cheeseburger in paradise Heaven on earth with an onion slice Not too particular, not too precise I'm just a cheeseburger in paradise
Heard about the old time sailor men They eat the same thing again and again Warm beer and bread they said could raise the dead Well it reminds me of the menu at a Holiday Inn But times have changed for sailors these days When I'm in port I get what I need Not just Havanas or bananas or daiquiris But that American creation on which I feed
Cheeseburger in paradise Medium rare with mustard be nice Heaven on earth with an onion slice I'm just a cheeseburger in paradise
I like mine with lettuce and tomato Heinz 57 and French fried potatoes Big kosher pickle and a cold draft beer Well good God almighty which way do I steer for my
Cheeseburger in paradise Makin' the best of every virtue and vice Worth every damn bit of sacrifice to get a Cheeseburger in paradise
I need a cheeseburger in paradise I'm just a cheeseburger in paradise

Peter is smart, he knows each European country by heart He likes to sit under an apple tree on his yard And wait for an apple to fall When Peter is nine, his teacher tells him that this planet is dying That someone needs to put an end to it all And so when Peter comes home, he tells his mom
I'm going out in the world to save our planet And I ain't coming back until she's saved I'll walk my way to see the king and parliament If they don't help, I'll do it by myself I don't wanna be... Dadadam dadadam dadadada dadada dadam...
Peter is young, he tries to talk, but no one listens to him Everybody's busy living and dying, not thinking about what they're doing But look at the boy who went out in the world to save our planet And he ain't coming back until she's saved He walked his way to see the king and parliament But they all turned their heads and walked away, singing
And now I'm going out in the world to save our planet And I ain't coming back until she's saved I'm walking in the footsteps that young Peter made And everybody is welcome to join, and sing with me

Raindrops keep falling on my head And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed Nothing seems to fit Those raindrops are falling on my head, they keep falling
So I just did me some talking to the sun And I said I didn't like the way he got things done Sleeping on the job Those raindrops are falling on my head, they keep falling
But there's one thing I know The blues they send to meet me won't defeat me It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me
Raindrops keep falling on my head But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turning red Crying's not for me 'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complaining Because I'm free Nothing's worrying me
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me
Raindrops keep falling on my head But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turning red Crying's not for me 'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complaining Because I'm free Nothing's worrying me
One More Day Composer(s): DJ BE$$ - DJ Rock - Mikheil Chelidze First performance: Eldrine - 2011
After the day I met you there I am not the same I try to sleep but nothing helps me feel insane Passion game that I play gonna last another day Another night Ill be there in my dreams again and again
I wanna give it on fire Uncover vicious desire Abandon painful denial Find every reason to stay
Another forbidden sensation Another emotional flare Down with the fake hesitation Gee, yeah, - I am ready to pay Pay for the hopeless despair Gonna live one more day of my fate
Here I am standing with my determination (I) remember when I used to be one of those silly fellows kind of really dont care and I realized all my thoughts and all my fears (around me) you wanted to know what I felt and you got it right there Turn around, all the words of regrets and seize the chance to find the way so I can be raised I am lame, psycho from the brain, there is nothing I can do, that s the part of the game
Out of such foolish state gonna find no other way
Make way cause its all about the shame
Feel no shame, cause I live another day again
I wanna give it on fire Uncover vicious desire Abandon painful denial Find every reason to stay Another forbidden sensation One more emotional flare Down with the fake hesitation Hell, yeah, - I am ready to pay Pay for the hopeless desire
Turn back in the days when you desired and craved and all the way you felt just like burned in the flame

Covered by multiple other artists
Heaven, I'm in heaven And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak And I seem to find the happiness I seek When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek Heaven, I'm in heaven And the cares that hung around me through the week Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak When we're out together dancing (swinging) cheek to cheek Oh I love to climb a mountain And reach the highest peak But it doesn't thrill (boot) me half as much As dancing cheek to cheek Oh I love to go out fishing In a river or a creek But I don't enjoy it half as much As dancing cheek to cheek (Come on and) Dance with me I want my arm(s) about you That (Those) charm(s) about you Will carry me through... (Right up) To heaven, I'm in heaven And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak And I seem to find the happiness I seek When we're out together dancing, out together dancing (swinging) Out together dancing cheek to cheek
Rainbow Stew Composer(s): Merle Haggard Performer(s): Merle Haggard; Johnny Paycheck; Jason Ringenberg
There's a big, brown cloud in the city And the countryside's a sin The price of life is too high to give up Gotta come down again When the world wide war is over and done And the dream of peace comes true We'll all be drinkin' free Bubble-Up Eatin' that rainbow stew
When they find out how to burn water And the gasoline car is gone When an airplane flies without any fuel And the sunlight heats our home One of these days when the air clears up And the sun comes shinin' through We'll all be drinkin' free Bubble-Up An' eatin' that rainbow stew
Eatin' rainbow stew in a silver spoon Underneath that sky of blue We'll all be drinkin' free Bubble-Up An' eatin' that rainbow stew
You don't have to get high to get happy Just think about what's in store When people start doin' what they oughta be doin' Then they won't be booin' no more When a President goes through the White House door An' does what he says he'll do We'll all be drinkin' that free Bubble-Up And eatin' that rainbow stew
Eatin' rainbow stew in a silver spoon Underneath that sky of blue We'll all be drinkin' that free Bubble-Up Eatin' that rainbow stew
Eatin' rainbow stew in a silver spoon Underneath that sky of blue We'll all be drinkin' free Bubble-Up And eatin' that rainbow stew

Check-Out Time
Composer(s): Burt Bacharach - Hal David
Performer(s): Dionne Warwick
When I woke up this morning I was all alone Stretched out in bed Two hundred miles from home in some old motel I don't know what's to become of me I know that check-out time is three
I didn't mean to hurt him, he has so much pride I never dreamed I had to run and hide to this lonely room I just hope he doesn't follow me I know that check-out time is three
There's just no use Why try to make an excuse I've lost great news Because to be his one Well that would be just giving up on life
I've got to go on living, I just can't exist I wanna taste all of the things I missed For his tender love Till the day love catches up with me That's always check-out time at three
