Do a show
Save a child
Raise a million bucks
That'll last a while
Fight at parties
Buy a horse
Lose a couple
Win that big divorce
I wanna be in the headlines
Anything to be in the headlines

Saw my chance
Made my break
Took the biggest float
In the Rose parade
Got jailed
No disgrace
A hundred million people
Saw my face

Called a conference
With the press
Announced my marriage plans
In a wedding dress
Climb a building
At six-below
On New Year's Eve
Without a stitch of clothes

I wanna be in the headlines
Anything to be in the headlines
As long as they spell my name right
I hope that they catch my best side

Popped out
From a cake
At the President's ball
What a big mistake
Fifty guns
Aimed at me
I was nearly killed
But what publicity
Nominated
Something big
Stole the hottest scene
Says the Globe And Trib
Porno movie
Comes to light
But I was starving then
So that's alright

I wanna be in the headlines
Anything to be in the headlines

As long as the spell my name right
Hope that they catch my best side
Keep my sidewalk status star bright
Feel free to walk on me tonight
Just don't spit on me

Headlines, headlines
Headlines, headlines
Headlines, headlines

Spooky


Spooky
(Finnish Version: Outo Tapa - 1984)
Composer(s): Harry Middlebrooks - Mike Shapiro - Buddy Buie - James Cobb
First release by: Mike Sharpe - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists



In the cool of the evening when ev'rything is gettin' kind of groovy
I call you up and ask you if you want to go and meet and see a movie
First you say no, you've got some plans for the night
And then you stop, and say, "All right"
Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you

You always keep me guessin', I never seem to know what you are thinkin'
And if a fella looks at you, it's for sure your little eye will be a-winkin'
I get confused, 'cause I don't know where I stand
And then you smile, and hold my hand
Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you
Spooky!

If you decide someday to stop this little game that you are playin'
I'm gonna tell you all what my heart's been a-dyin' to be sayin'
Just like a ghost, you've been a-hauntin' my dreams
So I'll propose... on Halloween
Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you

Headaches


Headaches
Composer(s): Hoffman; Klenner
Performer(s): Allan Sherman



Headaches, headaches
Aspirin commercials give me headaches
Just when I'm feeling chipper as you please
That's when they show me all my sinus cavities
Headaches, headaches
Those sponsors don't care how my head aches
See that announcer, he looks so fine
His head should ache like mine
Headaches, headaches
Those pounding hammers give me headaches
They say it once and then they say again
Oh tension, pressure, pain, oh tension pressure pain
Headaches, headaches
Those sponsors love it when my head aches
Mother, don't hand me those pills from the shelf
I'd rather do it myself
(Mommy, can't you keep Daddy's car out of the driveway?!)
Headaches, headaches
Those sponsors love it when my head aches
There is one remedy that's unsurpassed
And their commercials give me headaches "fast fast fast"
Headaches, headaches
Aspirin commercials give me headaches
Today I swallowed the best cure yet
I ate my TV set

Deixa-Me Sonhar (Só Mais Uma Vez)


Deixa-Me Sonhar (Só Mais Uma Vez)
First performance by: Rita Guerra - 2003



Leva o sol, leva o mar
Leva contigo a luz do meu luar
Leva o amanhecer
Do céu, leva a cor
Deixa o anoitecer, e a minha dor

Mas quando fores...

Deixa-me sonhar
Só mais uma vez
Pensar que vais ficar sempre junto a mim
Faz-me acreditar
Só mais uma vez
Que eu ainda sou tudo para ti

Leva o ar que eu respiro
Deixa a minha vida
Sem sentido...
Leva o meu sorriso, o meu coração
Leva o meu destino, na tua mão

E quando fores...

Deixa-me sonhar
Só mais uma vez
Pensar que vais ficar sempre junto a mim
Fas-me acreditar
Só mais uma vez
Que eu ainda sou tudo para ti

E se o tempo não passar
Nos teus braços é onde eu quero ficar

Deixa-me sonhar
Só mais uma vez
Pensar que vais ficar sempre junto a mim
Faz-me acreditar
Só mais uma vez
Que eu ainda sou tudo para ti

Head Over Heels


Head Over Heels
Composer(s): Roland Orzabal; Curt Smith
Performer(s): Tears For Fears



I wanted to be with you alone
And talk about the weather
But traditions I can trace against the child in your face
Won't escape my attention
You keep your distance via the system of touch
And gentle persuasion
I'm lost in admiration could I need you this much
Oh you're wasting my time
You're just wasting time

Something happens and I'm head over heels
I never find out until I'm head over heels
Something happens and I'm head over heels
Ah don't take my heart
Don't break my heart
Don't throw it away

I made a fire and watching it burn
Thought of your future
With one foot in the past now just how long will it last
No no no have you no ambition
My mother and my brothers used to breathing clean air
And dreaming I'm a doctor
It's hard to be man when there's a gun in your hand
Oh I feel so...

Something happens and I'm head over heels
I never find out until I'm head over heels
Something happens and I'm head over heels
Ah don't take my heart
Don't break my heart
Don't throw it away

And it's my four leaf clover
I'm on the line, one open mind
This is my four leaf clover

Splish Splash, I was taking a bath
Long about a saturday night
A rub-a-dub, just relaxing in the tub
Thinking everything was alright

Well, I stepped out the tub, put my feet on the floor
I wrapped the towel around me
And I opened the door, and then
Splish, Splash! I jumped back in the bath
Well how was I to know there was a party going on

They was a-splishing and a-splashing
Reelin' with the feelin', moving and a-grooving
Rocking and a-rolling, yeah!

Bing bang, I saw the whole gang
Dancing on my living room rug, yeah!
Flip flop, they was doing the bop
All the teens had the dancing bug

There was lollipop with-a Peggy Sue
Good Golly, Miss Molly was-a even there, too!
A-well-a, Splish Splash, I forgot about the bath
I went and put my dancing shoes on, yay...

Moving and a groovin', splishing and a splashing, yeah!

Head Held High


Head Held High
Composer(s): Lou Reed
Performer(s): The Velvet Underground;
and various other artists



My mama told me, ever since I was seven
Hold your head up high
My parents toldmy ever since I was eleven
Hold your head up high
They said the answer was to become a dancer
Hold your head high
Oh, just like I figured, they’re always disfigured
With their heads up high

Now I’m older, I’m getting so much bolder
With my head up high
Oh, as I figured, just like I figured
Since your head’s up high, baby
Oh, just like I figured
You know, they was disfigured
Hold your head up high
You know, they says the answer was to become a dancer
Hold your head high, boy

Ever since I was a baby on my mama’s knee
Oh, just listened to what everybody told me
Oh yes I did. but still the answer was to become a dancer
And hold your head high
But, just like I figured, they’re always disfigured
They hold their heads up high, watch out!

Do the dog! oh, watch out!

And now I’m older, they say I’m so much bolder
Got your head up high
Oh, and the answer was, hey, to become a dancer
Head up high
Well, but just like I figured, they’re always disfigured
They got their heads up high
But the answer was, now, boy, to become a dancer
With your head up high

Head up high
Head up high...

To Dream Again


To Dream Again
Composer(s): Alfred Zammit - Cynthia Sammut
First performance by: Lynn - 2003



When you lay your eyes on me
The feeling sets me free

You're my vision of love
The very heart of life
The last word

'Cause you made me dream again
You took me where I've never been
You made me dream again

Don't let me fall apart
Please, don't break my heart
I love you

Your kisses I would miss
Your smile and your caress
I love you

The winter's gone
When the summer comes around
Like the love I found

Now I'm helpless as you
Just drift away from me
And I miss you

And you made me dream again
You took me where I've never been
You made me dream again

Don't let me fall apart
Please, don't break my heart
I love you

Your kisses I would miss
Your smile and your caress
I love you

The winter's gone
When the summer comes around
Like the love I found

Don't let me fall apart
Please, don't break my heart
I love you

Your kisses I would miss
Your smile and your caress
I love you

Don't let me fall apart
Please, don't break my heart
I love you
(Don't let me fall apart)

Your kisses I would miss
Your smile and your caress
I love you
(Don't let me fall)

And you make me dream again
Don't let me
Don't let me
Don't let me fall apart

Don't let me fall apart
'Cause I love you, baby
You're the one who makes me dream

Head Games


Head Games
Composer(s): Lou Gramm; Mick Jones
Performer(s): Foreigner; Ray Roper



Daylight, alright
I don't know, I don't know if it's real
Been a long night and something ain't right
You won't show, you won't show how you feel

No time ever seems right
To talk about the reasons why you and I fight
It's high time to draw the line
Put an end to this game before it's too late

Head games, it's you and me baby
Head games, and I can't take it anymore
Head games, I don't wanna play the...
Head games

I daydream for hours it seems
I keep thinkin' of you, yeah, thinkin' of you
These daydreams, what do they mean?
They keep haunting me, are they warning me?

Daylight turns into night
We try and find the answer but it's nowhere in sight
It's always the same and you know who's to blame
You know what I'm sayin', still we keep on playin'

Head games, that's all I get from you
Head games, and I can't take it anymore
Head games, don't wanna play the...
Head games

So near, so far away
We pass each other by 'cause we don't know what to say
It's so clear, I'm sorry to say
But if you wanna win you gotta learn how to play

Head games, always you and me, baby
Head games, 'till I can't take it anymore
Head games, instead of makin' love
Head games, ooh

Head games, always you and me, baby
Head games, 'till I can't take it anymore, no more
Head games, instead of makin' love, we play
Head games

Head games, in the first degree
Head games, yeah, always you and me
Head games, why do you do it baby?
Head games

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

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

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
Composer(s): Martin Brannigan, Keith Molloy

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)

And we've got a love that's right (That's right)
So open your heart

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

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

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
