That Sounds Good To Me
That Sounds Good To Me
Composer(s): Pete Waterman - Mike Stock
First performance by: Josh - 2010
How do I begin to imagine all the happy faces I'd like to see?
The final destination, with sounds of celebration
If I could find the opportunity
So I wonder, who can I turn to?
Who can make these wishes and dreams come true?
And with you there beside me
And loving hands to guide me
Anything is possible to do
So if you bring the sunshine
I'll bring the good times
Just add your laughter
It's happy ever after
I don't know 'bout you
But that sounds good to me
I can feel it coming together
All the loving working so very well
There's nothing left to do now
Gonna see it through now
And we can let the future write itself
Baby, if you bring the sunshine
I'll bring the good times
Just add your laughter
It's happy ever after
I don't know 'bout you
But that sounds good to me
Oh...
(So if you bring the sunshine) You bring the sunshine
(I'll bring the good times) I'll bring the good times
Just add your laughter
Happy ever after
I don't know 'bout you (Sounds good to me)
I don't know 'bout you
I don't know 'bout you
But that sounds good to me
Oh... that sounds good to me

So we sailed up to the sun
Till we found the sea of green
And we lived beneath the waves
In our yellow submarine
We all live in our yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in our yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
And our friends are all on board
Many more of them live next door
And the band begins to play
We all live in our yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in our yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
As we live a life of ease
Everyone of us has all we need
Sky of blue and sea of green

Straight Down The Middle
Straight Down The Middle
Composer(s): Sammy Cahn - Jimmy Van Heusen
Performer(s): Bing Crosby; Ray Reach
Fore!
Straight down the middle
It went straight down the middle
Then it started to hook just a wee, wee bit
And that's when my caddie lost sight of it
That little white pellet has never been found to this day
But it went straight down the middle like they say
Whack down the fairway
It went smack down the fairway
Then it started to slice just a smidge off line
It headed for two but it bounced off nine
My caddie says long as you're still in the state you're okay
Yes, it went straight down the middle quite a way
The sun was never brighter
The greens were never greener
And I was never keener to play
I heard it came down the middle
It went zing down the middle
Oh, the life of a golfer is not all gloom
There's always the lies in the locker room
And I'm in my glory when wrapped in a towel I say
That it went straight down the middle today
Oh, the life of a golfer is not all gloom
Though they charge just for listenin' in the locker room
But I'm in my glory when wrapped in a towel I say
That it went straight down the middle
Where it wound up is a riddle
But it went straight down the middle far away

Yellow Rose Of Texas
Yellow Rose Of Texas
Composer(s): Don George
Performer(s): Mitch Miller;
and various other artists
There's a yellow rose of Texas
That I am going to see
No other fellow knows her
No other, only me
She cried so when I left her
It like to break my heart
And if I ever find her
We never more will part
She's the sweetest rose of color
A fellow ever knew
Her eyes are bright as di'monds
They sparkle like the dew
You may talk about your dearest May
and sing of Rosa Lee
But the Yellow Rose of Texas
Beats the belles of Tennessee
Oh, now I'm going to find her
For my heart is full of woe
And we'll sing the song together
That we sung long ago
We'll play the bajo gaily
and we'll sing the songs of yore
And the Yellow Rose of Texas
Shall be mine forevermore

Yellow River
Yellow River
((French Version: L'Amérique (by Joe Dassin) - 1970))
Composer(s): Jeffrey Christie
First recording/First release by: The Tremeloes - 1969/1985
Covered by multiple other artists
So long, boy, you can take my place
I got my papers, I got my pay
So pack my bags and I'll be on my way ... to Yellow River
Put my gun down, the war is won
Fill my glass high, the time has come
I'm going back to the place that I love ... Yellow River
Yellow River, Yellow River ... is in my mind and in my eyes
Yellow River, Yellow River ... is in my blood, it's the place that I love
Got no time for explanations, got no time to lose
Tomorrow night you'll find me sleeping underneath the moon
And Yellow River
Cannon fire lingers in my mind
I'm so glad I'm still alive
And I've been gone for such a long time ... from Yellow River
I remember the nights were cool
I can still see the water pool
And I remember the girl that I knew ... from Yellow River

Strada Facendo
Strada Facendo
Composer(s): Claudio Baglioni
First release by: Claudio Baglioni - 1981
Io ed i miei occhi scuri siamo diventati grandi insieme
con l'anima smaniosa a chiedere di un posto che non c'è
tra mille mattini freschi di bicletta,
mille e più tramonti dietro i fili del tram
ed una fame di sorrisi e braccia intorno a me...
Io e i miei cassetti di ricordi e di indirizzi che ho perduto
ho visto visi e voci di chi ho amato prima o poi andar via
e ho respirato un mare sconosciuto
nelle ore larghe e vuote di un'estate di città
accanto alla mia ombra nuda di malinconia...
Io e le mie tante sere chiuse, come chiudere un ombrello
col viso sopra il petto a leggermi i dolori ed i miei guai
ho camminato quelle vie che curvano seguendo il vento
e dentro un senso di inutilità
e fragile e violento mi son detto tu vedrai...vedrai...vedrai..
Strada facendo vedrai che non sei più da solo
strada facendo,
troverai un gancio in mezzo al cielo
e sentirai la strada far battere il tuo cuore...
vedrai più amore....vedrai!
Io troppo piccolo fra tutta questa che c'è al mondo
io che ho sognato sopra un treno che non è partito mai
e ho corso in mezzo a prati bianchi di luna
per strappare ancora un giorno alla mia ingenuità
e giovane e invecchiato mi son detto tu vedrai,vedrai..vedrai..
...Strada facendo, vedrai, che non sei più da solo
strada facendo, troverai, anche tu
un gancio in mezzo al cielo, e sentirai la strada
far battere il tuo cuore, vedrai più amore, vedrai...
E una canzone e neanche questa potrà mai cambiar la vita
ma che cos'è che mi fa andare avanti e dire che non è
finita...cos'è che mi spezza il cuore tra canzoni e amore
e che mi fa cantare e amare sempre più
perché domani sia migliore, perché domani tu...

Yellow Pearl
Yellow Pearl
Composer(s): Phil Lynott; Midge Ure
Performer(s): Phil Lynott; Grand Slam;
Thin Lizzy; Ultravox; Midge Ure
"We all must beware of the yellow pearl"
The Yellow Pearl control, attack, attack, attack, attack
Yellow Pearl
It is foolish to venture into strange enchanted places
If they aren't the places you want to be
Attack, attack, attack, attack, attack, attack, attack
Is what we lack
We will arise
We will control
We will command
We will patrol
It is foolish under the guise of love and liberty
That we should capitalize and rob and fell
The poor for the socialistic tree
We will arise
We will control
Attack, attack, attack, attack, attack, attack, attack
Is what we lack
That's what you lack
We shall arise
They will arise
We shall control
They will control
We shall command
They will command
We shall patrol
They will patrol
We must fight back
We will arise
They will arise
We will control
We are now living in a situation
Where that self same situation depends on the Yellow Pearl
Attack, attack, attack, attack, attack, attack, attack
Is what we lack
We will arise
They will arise
We will control
They will control
We will command
They shall command
We will patrol
They will patrol
Arise
Yellow Pearl's upon us now
We must fight back
We will arise
They will arise
We will control
Attack, attack, attack, attack, attack, attack, attack
Is what we lack
Is what we lack
Don't trust in Liberty
To save your soul
It is genocide to let liberty lose control
Control
We must decide
Control
We the Yellow Pearl we will control

It's For You (Niamh Kavanagh)
It's For You
Composer(s): Lina Eriksson - Jonas Gladnikoff - Marten Eriksson - Niall Mooney
First performance by: Niamh Kavanagh - 2010
Look into these eyes, hold onto these hands, believe in this heartbeat
Though you're afraid that I might break, just hold on
Shadows only haunt you when darkness crowds your heart
So let the light of my love shine bright
When I cry, it's for the lonely
When I pray, it's for the lost and stray
When I love like there's no tomorrow
No more words to say, it's for you
Look straight ahead, hold onto your dreams, believe in this magic
Open your eyes, open your mind and it's there
Shadows only haunt you when darkness crowds your heart
So let the light of my love shine bright
When I cry, it's for the lonely
When I pray, it's for the lost and stray
When I love like there's no tomorrow
No more words to say...
When shadows haunt you and darkness crowds your heart
Let the light of my love shine bright
When I cry, it's for the lonely
When I pray, it's for the lost and stray
When I love like there's no tomorrow
No more words to say, it's for you (It's for you)
It's for you

Yellow Moon
Composer(s): Aaron Neville; Joel Neville
Performer(s): The Neville Brothers;
Beau Jocque & The Zydeco Hi-Rollers; Tom Lepson
Yellow moon, yellow moon
why you keep peeping in my window?
Do you know something I don't know?
Did you see my baby
walking down the railroad tracks?
You can tell me if the girls
ever coming back
Is she hid out with another
or is she trying to get back home?
Is she wrapped up in some other's arms?
Or is the girl somewhere all alone?
Can you see if she is missing me,
or is she having a real good time?
Has she forgotten all about
or is the girl still mine all mine?
Chorus:
With your eye so big a shiney
You can see the whole damn land
Yellow moon can you tell me
If the girl's with another man?
Refrain:
Oh yellow moon
have you seen that creole woman
You can tell me
Now ain't you a friend of mine

Stouthearted Men
Stouthearted Men
Composer(s): Sigmund Romberg - Frank Mandel - Laurence Schwab - Oscar Hammerstein II
Performer(s): Nelson Eddy
and multiple other artists
You who have dreams, if you act they will come true
To turn your dreams to a fact, it's up to you
If you have the soul and the spirit
Never fear it, you'll see it thru
Hearts can inspire, other hearts with their fire
For the strong obey when a strong man shows them the way
Give me some men who are stout-hearted men
Who will fight, for the right they adore
Start me with ten who are stout-hearted men
And I'll soon give you ten thousand more
Shoulder to shoulder and bolder and bolder
They grow as they go to the fore
Then there's nothing in the world can halt or mar a plan
When stout-hearted men can stick together man to man
Give me some men who are stout-hearted men
Who will fight, for the right they adore
Start me with ten who are stout-hearted men
And I'll soon give you ten thousand more
Shoulder to shoulder and bolder and bolder
They grow as they go to the fore
Then there's nothing in the world can halt or mar a plan
When stout-hearted men can stick together man to man

Yellow Days
Yellow Days
Composer(s): Alan Bernstein; Alvaro Carrillo
Performer(s): Tony Bennett;
and various other artists
I remember when the sunlight
had a special kind of brightness
And laughter held a lover's kind of lightness
Yellow days, yellow days
She would hold me and the smile would spread around us so completely
And the softness of a kiss would linger sweetly
Yellow days, yellow days
But then came thunder
And I heard her say "goodbye"
Through tears of wonder
Now I'm alone and my heart wants to know
Yellow days, where'd you go?
Life is empty and the sunlight seems so harsh instead of tender
And the laughter's just an echo I'll remember
Yellow days, yellow days
(instrumental: first 3 lines of chorus)
Now I'm alone and my heart wants to know
Yellow days, where'd you go?
Life is empty and the sunlight seems so harsh instead of tender
And the laughter's just an echo I'll remember
Yellow days, yellow days

Butterflies (3+2)
Butterflies
Composer(s): Maxim Fadeev - Malka Chaplin
First performance by: 3+2 - 2010
I'm gonna tell you what 's inside my soul
We are so fragile, just like melting snow
We've got to come to see the beauty of love
And imagine, and imagine, just imagine
And we're like butterflies flying to the sun
The sun will never let us look inside
I believe that this'll be opened up
But at the right time
Heartfully just wait for it, it will come
And even if you often were so wrong
And you denied the miracle's possible
But you have got to see it anyway
And imagine, and imagine, just imagine
And we're like butterflies flying to the sun
The sun will never let us look inside
I believe that this'll be opened up
But at the right time
Heartfully just wait for it, it will come
And we're like butterflies flying to the sun (The sun)
The sun will never let us look inside (Look inside, I believe)
I believe that this'll be opened up
But at the right time
Heartfully just wait for it
And all the secrets will come, come out

Performer(s): The Brothers Four;
and various other artists
Yellow bird, up high in banana tree
Yellow bird, you sit all alone like me
Did your lady friend leave your nest again?
That is very sad, makes me feel so bad
You can fly away, in the sky away
You're more lucky than me
I also had a pretty girl
She's not with me today
They're all de same, the pretty girls
Take tenderness, then they fly away
Yellow bird, up high in banana tree
Yellow bird, you sit all alone like me
Let her fly away, in the sky away
Pick a town and, soon, pick from night to noon
Black and yellow, you like banana too
They might pick you someday
Wish that I were a yellow bird
I'd fly away with you
But I am not a yellow bird
So here I sit, nothin' else to do
Yellow bird
Yellow bird
Yellow bird

Storybook Love
Storybook Love
Composer(s): Willy DeVille - Mark Knopfler
Performer(s): Willy DeVille
Come my love, I'll tell you a tale
of a boy and girl, and their love story
and how he loved her oh, so much
and all the charms she did possess
My love is like a storybook story
But it's as real as the feelings I feel
My love is like a storybook story
But it's as real as the feelings I feel
it's as real as the feelings I feel
Now this did happen once upon a time
When things were not so complex
And how he worshipped the ground she walked
When he looked in her eyes, he became obsessed
My love is like a storybook story
But it's as real as the feelings I feel
My love is like a storybook story
But it's as real as the feelings I feel
it's as real as the feelings I feel
Now this did happen once upon a time
When things were not so complex
And how he worshipped the ground she walked
When he looked in her eyes, he became obsessed
This love was stronger than the powers so dark
A prince could have within his keeping
His spells to weave and steal a heart
Within her breast, but only sleeping
My love is like a storybook story
But it's as real as the feelings I feel
My love is like a storybook story
But it's as real as the feelings I feel
it's as real as the feelings I feel
Now this did happen once upon a time
When things were not so complex
And how he worshipped the ground she walked
When he looked in her eyes, he became obsessed
He said, "Don't you know I love you oh, so much
And lay my heart at the foot of your dress?
"She said, "Don't you know that storybook loves
Always have a happy ending?"
Then he swooped her up, just like in the books
And on his stallion they rode away
My love is like a storybook story
But it's as real as the feelings I feel
My love is like a storybook story
But it's as real as the feelings I feel
it's as real as the feelings I feel
Now this did happen once upon a time
When things were not so complex
And how he worshipped the ground she walked
When he looked in her eyes, he became obsessed

Composer(s): Elton John; Davey Johnstone; Bernie Taupin
Performer(s): Elton John
Yell help, too many cooks and a bird in the bush

Yell help, if your mirror busts and your cat gets cussed, yell help
`Cause down the road you find someone else who's looking
Down the road you find another sweet lady cooking
So I gotta yell help
Yell help, some shelter from the storm like the travel agent warned
Yell help, if you can help your superstitions they gonna keep you warm
`Cause down the road you find someone else who's looking
Down the road you seen another sweet lady cooking
So I gotta yell help
I wish tonight wasn't Wednesday night
I wish it wasn't the thirteenth of July, yell help
And you're looking at the guy whose eyes can't deny
That he wishes he were somewhere else tonight
Well I met this woman down in New Orleans
Lord she built just like a dream
Even wore stockings that had seams
And she was ugly
Now hell I don't mind women of her kind
I'll even pay sometimes for a woman that's ugly
She built like a steamroller
Just the kind to mow you over anytime
Hey the moment might arrive
On Bourbon Street
Well the ugliest woman you'll ever meet
But she's mine all mine and she's ugly
So I better yell help

Thunder And Lightning
Composer(s): Edin-Dino Šaran
First performance by: Vukašin Brajic - 2010
Say just one more word
And you will make it end
And I will leave this place
Only anger will remain
And it doesn't seem to me
We're each other's better side
These days
This is the time to melt the ice
Off our lips and off our hearts
Thunder and lightning holding hands
Let's overcome the past
The drought is all around
But if we start breathing together
We can bring the rain down
For a dream, for a brand new day
To wash away our sins
And carry them away
This is the time to melt the ice
Off our lips and off our hearts
Thunder and lightning holding hands
Let's overcome the past
We have to do it fast
This is the time (to melt the ice)
(Off our lips and off our hearts) Off our hearts
(Thunder and lightning holding hands)
Thunder and lightning
(Let's overcome the past)
(We have to do it fast)
In this crazy world
In this crazy world
Just you and I
Say just one more word
And everything will end, everyone will leave

Every evenin'
When all my day's work is through
I call my baby
And I ask her what shall we do
I mention movies
But she don't seem to dig that
And then she ask me
Why don't I come to her flat
And have some supper
And let the evening pass by
By playing records
The sounds of groovy hifi
I say "Yeh Yeh"
That's what I say
I say "Yeh Yeh"
My baby loves me
She gets me feelin' so fine
And when she loves me
She makes me know that she's mine
And when she kisses
I feel the fire get hot
She never misses
She gives it all that she's got
And when she ask me
If everything is ok
I got my answer
And the only thing I say
I say "Yeh Yeh"
That's what I say
I say "Yeh Yeh"
We'll play a melody and turn the lights down low
so that none can see
We gotta do that we gotta do that
We gotta do that we gotta do that
And there'll be no one else alive in all the world
'cept you and me
Yeh, yeh ……
And pretty baby
I never knew such a thrill
It's hard to tell you
Because I'm trembling still
But, pretty baby
I want you all for my own
I think I'm ready
To leave those others alone
No need to ask me
If everything is ok
I got my answer
The only thing I can say
I say "Yeh Yeh"
That's what I say
I say "Yeh Yeh"
We'll play a melody and turn the lights down low
So that none can see
We gotta do that we gotta do that
We gotta do that we gotta do that
And there'll be no one else alive in all the world
'cept you and me
Yeh, yeh ……
And pretty baby
I never knew such a thrill
It's hard to tell you
Because I'm trembling still
But, pretty baby
I want you all for my own
I think I'm ready
To leave those others alone
No need to ask me
If everything is ok
