Rainmaker


Rainmaker
Composer(s): Steve Winwood; Jim Capaldi
Performer(s): Traffic



Rainmaker, rainmaker
The sky is gray just by the touch of your hand
Rainmaker, rainmaker
Make me some rain, make all my crops grow tall

Rainmaker, rainmaker
The sky is gray, the ground is so hard
It's been cracked by the sun
Rainmaker, you know my work's never done

Celebrate (Daria Kinzer)


Celebrate
Composer(s): Boris Durdevic - Marina Mudrinic
First performance by: Daria Kinzer - 2011



Friday, my night
Flashing street lights
Let's get this old town dancing
Leave your troubles behind

Put your hands up
Let the magic take over your heart
Join us you'll have a good time, love is here to stay

Celebrate every single step you take
Stop the world for a moment
Shine like a comet
Nothing can stop you now

Celebrate every single step you take
Stop the world for a moment
Shine like a comet
In our musical galaxy

Friday, late night
We are all just shadows in the moonlight
A thousand drums are beating
Till the break of day

Put your hands up
Let the magic take over your heart
Join us you'll have a good time, the party of your life

Just keep moving and dancing and dancing and dancing
Music will heal your soul
Let's move to the rhythms and beats all around
Until we loose control

Raining On The Rock


Raining On The Rock
Composer(s): John Williamson
Performer(s): Rolf Harris; John Williamson



Pastel red to burgundy and spinifex to gold
We've just come out of the Mulga where the plains forever roll
And Albert Namatjira has painted all the scenes
And a shower has changed the lustre of our land

And it's raining on the Rock
In a beautiful country
And I'm proud to travel this big land
As an Aborigine
And it's raining on the Rock
What an almighty sight to see
And I'm wishing and I'm dreaming that you were here with me

Everlasting daisies and a beautiful desert rose
Where does their beauty come from heaven knows
I could ask the wedge-tail but he's away too high
I wonder if he understands it's wonderful to fly

It cannot be described with a picture
The mesmerising colours of the Olgas
Or the grandeur of the Rock
Uluru has power!

And it's raining on the Rock
In a beautiful country
And I'm proud to travel this big land
As an Aborigine
And it's raining on the Rock
What an almighty sight to see
And I'm wishing and I'm dreaming that you were here with me

Stand By


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

So tonight, if you don't mind, I will stand by

Cheeseburger In Paradise


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

Raining In My Heart


Raining In My Heart
Composer(s): Boudleaux Bryant; Felice Bryant
Performer(s): Buddy Holly;
and various other artists



The sun is out - the sky is blue
there’s not a cloud to spoil the view
but it’s raining - raining in my heart

The weather man says clear today
he doesn’t know you’ve gone away
and it’s raining - raining in my heart

Oh, misery - misery
what’s gonna become of me

I tell blues they musn’t show
but soon these tears are bound to flow
cause it’s raining - raining in my heart

But it’s raining - raining in my heart

And it’s raining - raining in my heart

One Life
Composer(s): Fleur Balzan - Paul Giordimaina
First performance by: Glen Vella - 2011



Life's a game, it's a mystery
Take advantage
Days go by, no lesson learned
Just things that you do
Things change even in my mind
Not in my heart
I am who I am and I'm here for you
One life show what's in your heart
Love me like I love you
One life it's all we got to live
Time to set your heart free
Chase the pain away move on and don't give up
This time it's all up to you
You can love yourself love
Life is strange and heavenly a sweet surrender (surrender)
Love begins within ourselves
Makes up our lives
Hold on to what life brings you
Just be who you are
You can do it too
It's all up to you
One life show what's in your heart
Love me like I love you
One life it's all we got to live
Time to set your heart free
Chase the pain away
Move on and don't give up
This time it's all up to you
You can love yourself “love”
Don't try to judge me
You don't know how I feel
Love me, love me for who I am
My life, I will give it all, I give it all to you, give it all
One life show what's in your heart
Love me like I love you
One life it's all we got to live
Time to set your heart free
Chase the pain away
Move on and don't give up
This time it's all up to you
You can love yourself love
It's all up to you you can love yourself love
You can love yourself love

Cheese Cake


Cheese Cake Composer(s): Joe Perry - Steven Tyler Performer(s): Aerosmith



I met a babe in a backseat drive-in
Back in the saddle she'd sit
Pulled on the reins just to keep me risin'
She loved to chomp at the bit
Daddy do it, ooh, just do it
Daddy do it, please let me see
Do it, please just do it daddy
Do it, do it, drivin' me crazy
She always walks with her eyes down on her bootlace
She lives to give it away
She don't believe in the right time or the wrong place
She's always liable to say
(cheese cake) looser than her sister
(cheese cake) mmm, her sugar gets me high
She knows I can't resist her (cheese cake)
Got my fingers in her pie (cheese cake)
(cheese cake) sneakin' out the back door
(cheese cake) rollin' down the lawn
Everybody's kissed her (cheese cake)
At the crack of dawn (cheese cake)

Rainin' On The Mountain


Rainin' On The Mountain
Composer(s): Alton Delmore
Performer(s): Glen Campbell;
and various other artists



Oh why do you leave me honey babe
Oh why do you leave me honey babe
Oh why do you leave me
When you know it's gonna beat me
Oh why do you leave me honey baby

Oh it's rainin' on the mountain, now my love
It's rainin' on the mountain, now my love
It's rainin' on the mountain
And there's sunshine in the valley
But I'm livin' on the mountain, now my love

I worry and I can not sleep at night
I worry and I can not sleep at night
I can not sleep at night
'Cause the future don't look bright
And I worry and I can not sleep at night

Oh it's rainin' on the mountain, now my love
It's rainin' on the mountain, now my love
It's rainin' on the mountain
And there's sunshine in the valley
But I'm livin' on the mountain, now my love

When you sow you gotta reap some lonely day
According to the bible, so they say
When your sow you gotta reap
When you reap you're gonna weep
When the judgement you will need, honey baby

Oh it's rainin' on the mountain, now my love
It's rainin' on the mountain, now my love
It's rainin' on the mountain
And there's sunshine in the valley
But I'm living on the mountain, now my love

Take it away boys

I'm leavin' in the mornin' for my home
I'm leavin' in the mornin' for my home
'Cause my honey now is gone
Always leavin' me alone
And I'm leavin' in the mornin' for my home

Oh it's rainin' on the mountain, now my love
It's rainin' on the mountain, now my love
It's rainin' on the mountain
And there's sunshine in the valley
But I'm livin' on the mountain, now my love

Da Da Dam


Da Da Dam
Composer(s): Axel Ehnström
First performance by: Paradise Oskar - 2011



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

Dadadam dadadam dadadada dadada dadam...
Dadadam dadadam dadadada dadada dadam...

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

Dadadam dadadam dadadada dadada dadam...
Dadadam dadadam dadadada dadada dadam...
Dadadam dadadam dadadada dadada dadam...

Cheerful Little Earful


Cheerful Little Earful Composer(s): Billy Rose - Ira Gershwin - Harry Warren Performer(s): Tom Gerun & His Orch. and multiple other artists



There's a cheerful little earful
Gosh I miss it something fearful
And this cheerful little earful
Is the well known "I love you"

Stocks can go down, bus'ness slow down
But the milk and honey flow down
With a cheerful little earful
Of the well known "I love you"

In ev'ry play it's a set phrase
What the public get phrase
But as a pet phrase it'll do do do
Poo-pa-roo-it
Soft and cu-it
Make me happy, you can do it

With a cheerful little earful
Of the well known "I love you"

Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head


Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head
Composer(s): Hal David - Burt Bacharach First release: B.J. Thomas - 1969 Covered by multiple other artists

Versions In Other Languages: 1970 - Gocce Di Pioggia Su Di Me (Patty Pravo) 1970 - Regndråber Drypper I Mit Hår (Pedro Biker) 1970 - Ei Haittaa Sää (Johnny) 1973 - Toute La Pluie Tombe Sur Moi (Sacha Distel)



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 (Eldrine)


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 I’ll 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 don’t 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 it’s 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

Gonna live one more day of my fate

Cheer Up (The Sun Will Soon Be Shining)


Cheer Up (The Sun Will Soon Be Shining) Composer(s): Andrew B. Sterling - Bernie Grossman - Arthur Lange



Every little girl that's lonely
Every little girl that's sad
Needs a little word of consolation
Just to cheer her up and make her glad
So to every girl that's feeling blue
Here's a message that is meant for you

Every little girl that's waiting
Every little lonesome boy
Knows for every moment filled with sorrow
There's another moment filled with joy
Always think when you are feeling blue
Of the happiness in store for you

Cheer up
The sun will soon be shining
Cheer up
Although your heart is pining
Don't you sigh
Don't you cry
When you say Goodbye
Smile out loud
Every cloud has a silv'ry lining
Cheer up, and soon there'll be a Rainbow 'way up in the sky
Cheer up
The sun will soon be shining
When the clouds roll by

Raindrops
Composer(s): Dee Clark; Johnny Otis
Performer(s): Dee Clark



Oh raindrops so many raindrops
It feels like raindrops falling from my eye, eyes
Falling from my eyes

Since my love has left me
I'm so all alone
I would bring her back to me
But I don't know where she's gone
I don't know where she's gone

It must be a cloud in my head
Rain keeps falling from my eye, eyes
Oh no it can't be tears
For a man ain't supposed to cry

So it must be raindrops so many raindrops
It feels like raindrops falling from my eye, eyes
Falling from my eyes

It must be a cloud in my head
Rain keeps falling from my eye, eyes
Oh no it can't be tears
For a man ain't supposed to cry

So it must be raindrops so many raindrops
It feels like raindrops falling from my eye, eyes
Falling from my eyes

In Love For A While


In Love For A While
Composer(s): David Klein
First performance by: Anna Rossinelli - 2011



I looked into your eyes, and when I saw your smile
I knew right from the start: life is good for a while
Romance comes and goes, but a love like ours is here to stay
Each lovely night and sunny day

I love everything about you, I couldn't do without you
Whenever you're near me, all my days are on the bright side
But when I'm not around you, I have to find the way
To be with you each night and every day

Na nanana nanana... na nanana nanana...
Na nanana nananana... na nananana...
Na nanana nanana... na nanana nanana...
Nanana nanana nanana...

And as time goes by and we've seen stormy weather
I know that you and I, we're always getting better
But when I'm not around you, I have to find the way
To be with you each night and every day

Oh, I couldn't do without you, yeah
I have to find the way to... to be with you, no oh no no oh...
I love everything you do
I have to find the way to be with you

I know you and I are in love for a while

Cheer Down


Cheer Down Composer(s): George Harrison - Tom Petty First release by: George Harrison - 1989



I can see by your grin
That you're trembling within
It's all over town, cheer down
And the smile on your face
Is sometimes out of place
Don't mind, no frowns, cheer down

If your hair should fall
If your shares should crash
You'll get by even without getting a rash

There's no tears to be shed
I'm gonna love you instead
I want you around, cheer down

When your teeth drop out
You'll get by even without taking a bite

If your dog should be dead
I'm gonna love you instead
The world loves a clown, cheer down
I want you around, cheer down

Rainbows All Over Your Blues


Rainbows All Over Your Blues
Composer(s): John Sebastian
Performer(s): John Sebastian



I been waiting my time just to talk to you
You´ve been lookin´all down in the mouth
and down at your shoes
Well, baby, I came to give you the news
I´ll paint rainbows all over your blues

I heard you been spending
a lot of your time up in your room
And at night you been watchin´
the dark side of the moon
You don´t talk to nonody
if they don´t talk to you
So Buddy and me came here
to sing you a tune

"I give up" is all you´ve really got to say
It´s time to find a new life style
Cause this really ain´t the way

Let´s go for a bounce
on my trampoline
I can show you the prettiest mountains
that you´ve ever seen
You better run to your closet
and fish out your blue suede shoes
I´ll paint rainbows all over your blues

Not losing you tonight
