Head First


Head First
Composer(s): Steven Tyler; Joe Perry; Jim Vallance
Performer(s): Aerosmith



I was dancing down the sidewalk
Just some slam dunk that you might jive
And I wondered then 'bout his old girlfriend
Was she still around, still alive?

It's been years since my gears have been turning
Since I asked her same dice dance
How the flames of my poor heart been burnin'
If it's hate then this must be romance

Head first, baby, how the good time feelin' lingers
Ah, you can be alright on the wrong side of the street
I'm so hungry for love, I been lickin' off all my fingers
Oh yeah, you got to learn to take the bitter with the sweet
Ah

Yeah, I feel just like gettin' in trouble
By the hair on her chinny chin chin
And I love to get down on the stubble
With my teeth it'll taste like your grin, yeah yeah

Head first, baby, how the good time feelin' lingers
Ah, you can be alright on the wrong side of the street
I'm so hungry for love, I been lickin' off all my fingers
You got to learn to taste the bitter with the sweet, hey

Head first, baby, how the good time feelin' lingers
Ah, you can be alright on the wrong side of the street
I'm so hungry for love, I been lickin' off all my fingers
Oh yeah, you got to learn to take the bitter with the sweet
Ah

Everyway That I Can


Everyway That I Can
Composer(s): Demir Demirkan, Sertab Erener
First performance by: Sertab Erener - 2003



I feel you're moving on a different cause
Makin' a way for a distant course
You say you love me and you roll your eyes
Turn to stare at the empty skies

I thought it was over and we passed all that
All we've done is to pass back to frame number one
C'mon, now, now
I wanna show you all again what it would be like
Just let go and let me love you

Everyway that I can
I'll try to make you love me again
Everyway that I can
I'll give you all my love and then
Everyway that I can
I'll cry, I'll die and make you mine again

Hold me closer, oh, so good
You make me feel just like I should
I know whatcha thinkin': uh-hu good
Now the rest of the world is overruled

Tell me whatcha see in other girls all around
Come on closer and tell me whatcha don't find here
Come on, now, now
I wanna give you everything you've been missin' out
Just let go and let me love you

Everyway that I can
I'll try to make you love me again
Everyway that I can
I'll give you all my love and then
Everyway that I can
I'll cry, I'll die and make you mine again

I'm in love with you
I'll do all you want me to
You make me wanna huh-huh
Make me wanna huh-huh-huh

I'm in love with you
I'll do all you want me to
You make me wanna huh-huh
Make me wanna huh-huh-huh

Nothing in the world that could stop me, no sir
Nothing in the world that could stop me, no sir
No, no, no, no, no

Everyway that I can
I'll try to make you love me again
Everyway that I can
I'll give you all my love and then
Everyway that I can
I'll give you all my love and then
Everyway that I can
I'll cry, I'll die and make you mine again

He (She) Thinks I Still Care


He (She) Thinks I Still Care
Composer(s): Steve Duffy; Dickey Lee Lipscomb
Performer(s): Pattty Loveless;
and various other artists



Just because I ask a friend about him
Just because I spoke his name somewhere
Just because I rang his number by mistake
He thinks I still care

Just because I hog the same old places
With the memory of him lingers everywhere
Just because I'm not the happy girl I used to be
He thinks I still care

But if he's happy thinkin' I still need him
Then let that silly notion bring him cheer
But how could he ever be so foolish
Oh where did he get such an idea

Just because I ask a friend about him
Just because I spoke his name somewhere
Just because I saw him, then went all to pieces
He thinks I still care
He thinks I still care

Spirits In The Material World


Spirits In The Material World
(Spanish Version: Alma En El Mundo Material - 1998)
Composer(s): Sting
First release by: The Police - 1981
Covered by multiple other artists



There is no political solution
To our troubled evolution
Have no faith in constitution
There is no bloody revolution

We are spirits in the material world

Our so-called leaders speak
With words they try to jail you
They subjugate the meek
But it's the rhetoric of failure

We are spirits in the material world

Where does the answer lie?
Living from day to day
If it's something we can't buy
There must be another way

We are spirits in the material world

He Will Break Your Heart


He Will Break Your Heart
Composer(s): Curtis Mayfield; Calvin Carter; Jerry Butler
Performer(s): Jerry Butler;
and various other artists



He don't love you like I love you
If he did, he wouldn't break your heart
He don't love you like I love you
He's try-in' to tear us apart

Fare thee well, I know you're leavin'
(I know you're leavin')
For the new love that you've found
The handsome guy that you've been dating, whoa
I got a feelin' he's gonna put you down 'cause

He don't love you like I love you
If he did, he wouldn't break your heart
He don't love you like I love you
He's try-in' to tear us apart

He uses all the great quotations
Says the things I wish I could say
Whoa, but he's has so many rehearsals
Girl, to him it's just another play but wait

When the final act is over
And you're left standing all alone
When he takes his bow and makes his exit
Girl, I'll be there to take you home

He don't love you (and he never will) like I love you
If he did, he wouldn't break your heart
Oh, he don't love you, girl, like I love you
He's try-in' to tear us apart

Whoa, he don't love you

We've Got The World


We've Got The World
Composer(s): Martin Brannigan, Keith Molloy
First performance by: Mickey Harte - 2003



She stands under moonlight
She touches her hair
Her smile lights emotions
And her love fills the air

And I know you're my every tomorrow
And I know that you'll always be there

We've got the world tonight (Tonight)
Let's hold on together
And we've got a love that's right (That's right)
So open your heart
'Cause we've got tonight

We move even closer
With hope in our eyes
'Cause love is the answer
To the hurt and the lies

And I know you're my every tomorrow
And I know that you'll always be there

We've got the world tonight (Tonight)
Let's hold on together
And we've got a love that's right (That's right)
So open your heart

We've got the world tonight (Tonight)
Let's hold on together
And we've got a love that's right (That's right)
So open your heart

Ask me why (Ask me why)
The sun and the moon go round
Ask me why (Ask me why)
My feet never touch the ground
(Tell the truth) Tell the truth
You take my breath away

We've got the world tonight

We've got the world tonight (Tonight)
Let's hold on together
And we've got a love that's right (That's right)
So open your heart
So open your heart

We've got the world tonight (Tonight)
Let's hold on together
Let's hold on together
And we've got a love that's right (That's right)
So open your heart
So open your heart

We've got the world tonight (Tonight)
Let's hold on together
Let's hold on together
'Cause we've got tonight

He Was Thinking Of Me (The Telestials)


He Was Thinking Of Me
Performer(s): The Telestials



My mama told me
'bout his love long ago
She said "Boy, Jesus bled and died
To save your soul"

It was in his Father's will
He didn't have to die for me
He could have called ten thousand angels
To set him free

Even while the blood was still warm on his brow
Jesus was thinking of me
Even as they beat him, I don't know how
Jesus was thinking of me

Even as they drove the nails in his hands
Even as they pierced his side
I was never out of his mind for a moment
He was thinking of me when he died

The angry mob around him
Was hungry to see someone die
The Roman soldiers bound him
Not knowing who they crucified

It wasn't the nails through his hands and knee
That held him on that cruel tree
It was a self-denying, all-consuming love
For someone like me

Even while the blood was still warm on his brow
Jesus was thinking of me
Even as they beat him, I don't know how
Jesus was thinking of me

Even as they drove the nails in his hands
Even as they pierced his side
I was never out of his mind for a moment
He was thinking of me when he died

He was thinking of me when he died
He was thinking of me when he died

Spirits (Having Flown)


Spirits (Having Flown)
Composer(s): Barry Gibb - Maurice Gibb - Robin Gibb
Performer(s): Bee Gees



I never fell in love so easily
Where the four winds blow I carry on
I'd like to take you where my spirit flys
Through the empty skys
We go alone never before having flown
Faster than light'ning is this heart of mine
In the face of time I carry on
I'd like to take you where my rainbow ends
Be my lover friend
We go alone never before having flown

I am your hurricane
Your fire in the sun
how long must I live in the air
you are my paradise
My angel on the run
How long must I wait
It's the dawn of the feeling
that starts from the moment you're there

You'll never know what you have done for me
You broke all those rules I live upon
I'd like to take you to my shangrila
neither here or far away from home
never before having flown
There I'd like to take you where my spirit flys
Through the empty skys we go alone
Never before having flown

He Was Thinking Of Me (Del Way)


He Was Thinking Of Me
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Del Way



I've wondered what He was thinking of when the crowds came that day
And took Him from the garden and His disciples walked away
What could have gone thru His mind as they nailed Him to the tree?
Oh, but now, now I know
He was thinking of me

Chorus:
He was thinking of me all the way to Calvary
He had me on His mind all of the time so that I could be free
It's hard to understand; now I can see
He suffered and died so that I could have life
He was thinking of me

As Jesus hung on the cross that day, a multitude gathered 'round
Each one He was dying to save, but He saw more than just that crowd
For His mind went to the future, when He would hear my sinning plea
For He knew I, too, would need a Savior
Thank you God, for thinking of me

Repeat Chorus

Oh, Jesus has never failed me since I met Him that day
And His Spirit brings me comfort when life's trials come my way
Through His blood I have forgiveness, and it flows eternally
He paid it all though the cost was great
Jesus paid that price for me

Repeat Chorus

He suffered and died so that You could have life
He was thinking of You

Open Your Heart (Birgitta)


Open Your Heart
Composer(s): Hallgrímur Óskarsson - Birgitta Haukdal Brynjarsdóttir
First performance by: Birgitta - 2003



Every time you close your eyes
I can see the light that you're hiding
Like a shadow in the sky
Of an eagle's wing when it's gliding

Don't be afraid, I'm not gonna run away
Don't let it wait, until it's too late
For what you have to say

Open your heart, show me the pain
It's all part of who you are
Tell me your dreams, your hopes and your fears
Just open your beating heart to me

Everything you share with me
Turns a little darkness into light
And that is how we're meant to be
Truth will keep the light shining brighter

Open your heart, show me the pain
It's all part of who you are
Tell me your dreams, your hopes and your fears
Just open your heart to me

Reach out, I'm right by your side
Exactly where I want to be
The sum of you and me is we, yeah

Open your heart, show me the pain
Show me who you are
Tell me your dreams, your hopes and your fears
Just open your heart to me

Open your heart, show me the pain
It's all part of who you are
Tell me your dreams, your hopes and your fears
Let go and just show me who you are, yeah
Hey... your heart

Let go and just show me who you are

He Was Beautiful


He Was Beautiful
Composer(s): Cleo Laine; Stanley Myers
Performer(s): Shirley Bassey; and various other artists



He was beautiful
Beautiful to my eyes
From the moment I saw him
The sun filled the sky
He was so, so beautiful

Beautiful just to hold
In my dreams he was springtime
Winter was cold
How could I tell him

What I so clearly could see
Though I longed for him
Another ...
Trusted me completely, so I never could be free
It was beautiful

Knowing now that he cares
I will always remember moments we shared
Now it's all over

Still the feelings ling' on
For my dream keeps returning
Now that he's gone
For it was beautiful
Beautiful
Beautiful to be loved

Spirit On The Water


Spirit On The Water
Composer(s): Les Holroyd
Performer(s): Barclay James Harvest



There's a spirit floating
On the water
There's a shadow lying
Down by the shore
Wasn't there a year before?
A sacrifice for the coat
He's wearing
A "paradise" for the lady

Who dares
Colour him red upon the snow?

We carry the burden upon our shoulder
We carry their lives in the palm of our hand
Don't you care about the state you're in
Or don't you understand?

There's a spirit floating
On the water
See the shadow lying
Down by the shore
Wasn't there some years ago??

We carry the burden upon our shoulder
We carry their lives in the palm of our hand
Don't you care about the world your in
Or don't you understand?

He Vuelto A Casa


He Vuelto A Casa
Performer(s): José Feliciano



Fui pintando de nostalgia y recuerdos de la infancia
el destino que la vida me eligió
encontré por el camino gente buena, gente mala
paraísos y una que otra tentación

Tu me diste la confianza para ver desde mi alma
la grandeza de este mundo con los ojos del amor

Estas manos que le dieron voz y vida a mi guitarra
maduraron sobre un cuerpo de mujer
aprendí con las caídas que el sendero no se anda
si no tienes un amor en quien creer

A pesar de la distancia de las cosas que uno pasa
a pesar de ser un hombre me hace falta tu querer

He vuelto a casa abrázame mama
hay tantas cosas nuevas que contar
tu nieto fue varón y tiene el corazón
igual al del abuelo que no está
He vuelto a casa abrázame mama
hay tantas cosas para recordar
hoy traigo el porvenir lejano para mi
el día que tu me viste partir

He vuelto a casa abrázame.....abrázame otra vez

Fui cantando por la vida mis canciones más queridas
a mi isla le compuse un le lo lai
no imaginas cuantas veces tus plegarias vieja mía
me ayudaron a seguir un poco más

Siempre que vuelvo a tu lado algo nuevo del pasado
me recuerda lo importante que tu eres para mi

He vuelto a casa abrázame mama
hay tantas cosas nuevas que contar......

I know we're far away
A million miles
I know that we can't
See your eyes

Wanna fly to highest skies
Wanna see a million smiles

Or different languages we use
That doesn't matter
Love is common thing
Now we're together

Wanna fly to highest skies
Wanna see a million smiles

Performer(s): Bill Gaither;

Shackled by a heavy burden
'Neath a load of guilt and shame
Then the hand of Jesus touched me
And now I am no longer the same

He touched me, Oh He touched me
And oh the joy that floods my soul!
Something happened and now I know
He touched me and made me whole

Since I met this blessed Savior
Since He cleansed and made me whole
I will never cease to praise Him
I'll shout it while eternity rolls

He touched me, Oh He touched me
And oh the joy that floods my soul!
Something happened and now I know
He touched me and made me whole

He Touched Me (Barbra Streisand)


He Touched Me
Composer(s): Ira Levin; Milton Schafer
Performer(s): Barbra Streisand;
and various other artists



He touched me
He put his hand near mine and then he touched me

I felt a sudden tingle when he touched me
a sparkle, a glow
Oh, he knew it
It wasn’t accidental, no, he knew it
He smiled and seemed to tell me so, all through it
He knew it, I know

He’s real and the world is alive and shining
I feel such a wonderful drive toward Valentining

He touched me
I simply have to face the fact: he touched me
Control myself and try to act as if I remember my name

But he touched me
He touched me and suddenly nothing is the same
'Cause he touched me
He touched me and suddenly nothing
He touched me and suddenly nothing
He touched me and suddenly nothing
is the same

Happy You


Happy You
Composer(s): Aivaras Stepukonis
First performance by: Aivaras Stepukonis - 2002



Wanna show to you alone
The world around us, high and low
Glowing stars and dancing moon
Happy I 'cause happy you

Close your eyes and make a wish
Could it be a scorching kiss?
You're my sweetest mountain dew, (baby)
Happy I 'cause happy you
For our dreams come true, they always do

Watching the sunrise, beautiful red skies
Hoping this day will never end
Singing a love song with a perfect rhyme
A song of love composed for you

Love brings passion, love brings joy
Love brings riches we enjoy
All is wonder, all is new, (baby)
Happy I 'cause happy you
For our dreams come true, they always do

Watching the sunrise, beautiful red skies
Hoping this day will never end
Singing a love song with a perfect rhyme
A song of love composed for you

(Watching the sunrise)
Babe, it looks great
(Singing a love song)
Babe, it sounds great

Watching the sunrise, beautiful red skies
Hoping this day will never end
Singing a love song with a perfect rhyme
A song of love composed for you

Watching the sunrise, beautiful red skies
Hoping this day will never end
Singing a love song with a perfect rhyme
A song of love composed for you

Watching the sunrise

He Took Her For A Sleigh Ride (In The Good Old Summertime)


He Took Her For A Sleigh Ride
(In The Good Old Summertime)
Composer(s): Jerome S. Gottler
Performer(s): Billy Murray



Here's a story all about
An innocent young girl
It happened on the midway
In a carnival's gay whirl

Attracted by a manly voice
How could she sense the danger
She found herself enchanted
By a dashing, dapper stranger

Oh, he took her for a sleigh ride
In the good old summertime
This Coney Island barker
With a bankroll of a dime

His suave and silky manner
Made her heart go pitter-pat
Her mother should have told her
To beware of men like that

He charmed her so with words so sweet
What harm this guy was doing her
To make her woe and shame complete
He ended up tatooing her

He dragged her down and down and down
Was such an awful crime
Oh, he took her for a sleigh ride
In the good old summertime

Oh, he took her for a sleigh ride
In the middle of July
This city slicker
He'll put out the twinkle in her eye

He promised her a fortune
Said he'd put her name in lights
She wound up in the sideshow
Wearing purple, spangled tights

On Monday nights she'd be Suzette
The wild girl from Borneo
Tuesday nights she'd holler
"Get your peanuts and popcorneo"

She did it all because she thought
That wedding bells would chime
But he took her for a sleigh ride
In the good old summertime

Oh, this story has a moral
That the whole world ought to hear
So settle down and listen
And stop crying in your beer

Some of you have daughters
Or a sister you respect
So keep them from this maiden's fate
Before their lives are wrecked

She paid the price for her mistake
With grief I sadly speak of her
His heart was ice, the lowly stink
He went and made a freak of her

Now if you want to see her
You will have to pay a dime
Oh, he took her for a sleigh ride
In the good old summertime

Spirit In The Night


Spirit In The Night
Composer(s): Bruce Springsteen
First release by: Bruce Springsteen - 1973
Covered by multiple other artists



In the summer that I was baptized
My father held me to his side
As they put me to the water
He said how on that day I cried
We were prisoners of love, a love in chains
He was standin' in the door, I was standin' in the rain
With the same hot blood burning in our veins
Adam raised a Cain

All of the old faces
Ask you why you're back
They fit you with position
And the keys to your daddy's Cadillac
In the darkness of your room
Your mother calls you by your true name
You remember the faces, the places, the names
You know it's never over, it's relentless as the rain
Adam raised a Cain

In the Bible Cain slew Abel
And east of Eden he was cast
You're born into this life paying
For the sins of somebody else's past
Daddy worked his whole life for nothing but the pain
Now he walks these empty rooms looking for something to blame
You inherit the sins, you inherit the flames
Adam raised a Cain
Lost but not forgotten
From the dark heart of a dream
Adam raised a Cain
