Space Is Deep


Space Is Deep
Composer(s): Dave Brock
Performer(s): Hawkwind



Space is dark, it is so endless
When you're lost it's so relentless
It is so big, it is so small
Why does man try to act so tall
Is this the reason, deep in our minds?

It does not feel, it does not die
Space is neither truth nor lie
Into the void we have to travel
To find the clue which will unravel
Is this the reason, deep in our minds?

The secret lies with our tomorrow
In each of us is a hidden sorrow
The path goes onward through the night
Beyond the realms of ancient light
Is this the reason, deep in our minds?

Heart Of Glass


Heart Of Glass
Composer(s): Deborah Harry; Chris Stein
Performer(s): Blondie



Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind

Once I had a love and it was divine
Soon found out I was losing my mind
It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind

In between "what I find is pleasing" and "I'm feeling fine"
Love is so confusing
There's no peace of mind if I fear I'm losing you
It's just no good, you teasing like you do
Lost inside
Adorable illusion and I cannot hide
I'm the one you're using, please don't push me aside
We coulda made it cruising, yeah
Yeah, riding high on love's true bluish light

Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out to be a pain in the ass
Seemed like the real thing only to find
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind

Happyland (Liza Minnelli)


Happyland
Composer(s): Randy Newman
Performer(s): Liza Minnelli;
Harper's Bizarre; Warren Schatz



The wind is cold
The morning skies are gray
And through the fog
I walk along the bay
Past a regiment of rusty swings
On sandy fields of broken things

Ferris wheel was turning
And the roller coaster roared
Summer sun was burning
On the hot dog stands and the candy stores
They had chocolate ice cream
Apples on a stick
Big old jars with gumdrops in 'em
And if you guessed it right you'd win 'em

Happyland, Happyland
Land that dreams are made of
Happyland, Happyland
You could have a real nice time
And a ride for just one dime

What a great place to be (??) bored, five and
They left you alone
They have these cars that you coud drive in
Pretend you were old
I was much better off when I was pretending
Everything's far too real

Happyland, Happyland
Land that dreams are made of
Carousels, wishing wells
Da da da da da da da
Da da da da

Ferris wheel was turning
The roller coaster roared
Summer sun was burning
On the hot dog stands and the candy stores

Ferris wheel was turning
Roller coaster roared

My Heart Goes Boom


My Heart Goes Boom
Composer(s): Tore Madsen - Morten Henriksen
First performance by: Charmed - 2000



Wooh!

Summer, Saturday and sunshine, suddenly, I saw you there
A stunning sight from God knows where
You were standing in the shadows, looking quite impossible
I lost my mind and popsicle

A radio was singing
Something blue in perfect tune
Half a look over your shoulder
I couldn't keep from staring back at you

My heart goes boom when I see you, baby
Don't you tell me maybe, it can never be too soon
My heart goes boom, put your arms around me
Say you're glad you found me, take me spinning round the moon
My heart goes boom

Summer, Saturday, and sunset, you said hello and I said hi
And something lit the evening sky
You came out of the shadows with a teasing twinkle in your eye
And took my senses for a ride

A radio was playing
Something slow in perfect tune
Half a smile as you sat down
I couldn't seem to keep my eyes off you

My heart goes boom when I see you, baby
Don't you tell me maybe, it can never be too soon
My heart goes boom, put your arms around me
Say you're glad you found me, take me spinning round the moon
(My heart goes boom)

A radio was singing
Something blue in perfect tune
Half a look over your shoulder
I couldn't seem to keep my eyes off you

My heart goes...
My heart goes boom when I see you, baby
Don't you tell me maybe, it can never be too soon
My heart goes boom, put your arms around me
Say you're glad you found me, take me spinning round the moon
My heart goes boom

Oh baby, my heart goes boom

Heart Like A Wheel (The Human League)


Heart Like A Wheel
Composer(s): Jo Callis; Reynolds
Performer(s): The Human League



Calling up the promised land
Johnny Seven's coming over the sea
He's taking your time
When you want to be free

Holding out a helping hand
Are you ready for a real career?
Will you be so cool
When it's happening here?

It don't say nothing that I haven't heard
If what I hear is true
You won't keep the law with a broken word
So what are you going to do?

Heart like a wheel
Turning away from anything that's real
Heart like a wheel
Changing in time
Beating colder steel

Pass the message around the world
The medium is in retreat
The power is here
And packing some heat

Sell your soul to a holy war
Set the captive free
We make no promises anymore
But it isn't fooling me

Heart like a wheel
Turning away from anything that's real
Heart like a wheel
Changing in time beating colder steel

You can't keep the wheels turnign anymore
With anger, blood and fear
Or make any friends with an M16
When you blast your way through here

Heart like a wheel
Turning away from anything that's real
Heart like a wheel
Changing in time beating colder steel

Heart like a wheel
Turning away from anything that's real
Heart like a wheel
Changing in time beating colder steel

Heart like a wheel
Turning away from anything that's real
Heart like a wheel
Driving the world is going to be a steal

Happyland (Joe Jackson)


Happyland
Composer(s): Joe Jackson
Performer(s): Joe Jackson



It was on a summer night, she says, a year ago today
Packed, the place was packed
The chicos lookin' for some play
He wore a satin shirt and said a prayer to Yemayá
And he was calm and handsome
As they squeezed through to the bar
The girls were in tight dresses, just like sweets in cellophane
Everyone was there
Sabrosón from Spanish Harlem
And luz from Camaguey
In her hand a single rose, and in her mouth a razorblade
Hot, the place was hot
Too many people to be safe

Who cared
It was our night
Watch us seize the day
And dance it all away...

Bailamos, esa noche, bailamos
In Happyland

It was on a summer night, she says - yes, it was a year ago
Hot, the place was hot
but where else were they gonna go
And then she heard the screams
And saw the smoke come down
And then it really turned into the hottest club in town
She remembers all the firetrucks
And that maldito TV crew
And he, he didn't make it
So, "mi amor, this song's for you"
She's got red shoes on her feet
A nd a red smile on her face
And people say she's loca, to go back into that place

Who cared
This is my night
Watch me seize the day
And dance it all away...

Bailaré, esta noche, bailaré
In Happyland

Soyons Sages


Soyons Sages
Composer(s): Robert Gall - G. Magenta
Performer(s): France Gall



Soyons sages, sages, sages
J'ai ma main dans ta main
Rien que nous sur la plage
Dans la nuit sous les pins

Au creux de ton épaule
Donne-moi, donne-moi tes yeux
Si nos bouches s'affolent
Restons calmes tous deux

Soyons sages, sages, sages
J'ai ma main dans ta main
Qu'il est doux ton visage
Contre toi je suis bien

Tu le sais, à mon âge
On a peur, oui peur de la vie
Tous les deux, soyons sages
Nous avons toute la vie

Tous les deux, soyons sages
Nous avons toute la vie
Sages, sages, sages
Sages, sages, sages sages

Heart Like A Wheel (Linda Ronstadt)


Heart Like A Wheel
Composer(s): Anna McGarrigle
Performer(s): Linda Ronstadt;
and various other artists



Some say a heart is just like a wheel
When you bend it, you can't mend it
And my love for you is like a sinking ship
And my heart is like that ship out in mid ocean

They say that death is a tragedy
It comes once and it's over
But my only wish is for that deep dark abyss
'Cause what's the use of living with no true lover

And it's only love, and it's only love
That can wreck a human being and turn him inside out
That can wreck a human being and turn him inside out

When harm is done no love can be won
I know this happens frequently
What I can't understand
Oh please God hold my hand
Is why it should have happened to me

And it's only love and it's only love
And it's only love and it's only love
Only love, only love
Only love, only love

Happy-Go-Lucky You (And Broken-Hearted Me)


Happy-Go-Lucky You (And Broken-Hearted Me)
Composer(s): Jack Murray; Al Goodhart; Al Hoffman
Performer(s): Bing Crosby;
and various other artists



Gone is the romance and broken the vow
We used to be sweethearts but what are we now?
Happy-go-lucky you and broken-hearted me

Man in the moon is sad as can be
He looks down from heaven and what does he see?
Happy-go-lucky you and broken-hearted me

You go to parties, you have your fling
I hope you'll never regret
You go to parties to dance and sing
I do the same to forget

And when I look at a couple in love
I watch them with envy and keep thinking of
Happy-go-lucky you and broken-hearted me

Desire


Desire
Composer(s): Gerard James Borg - Philip Vella
First performance by: Claudette Pace - 2000



From the first day I saw you
To the last time we met
I've desired to hold you
Have you and make you mine

But to have and to hold
To love and to grow
It takes two hearts that beat
To the rhythm of one

When you push me away
I taste fear and pain
Turns my fire to smoke
With one word, with one stroke

Deep in my heart is desire to love
Deep in my soul is desire to grow
Deep in your smile is desire for more
Deep when we kiss, the feeling that can't be missed

Let me live, let me die
Let me laugh, let me cry
Let me burn in your fire
In flames of desire

Be my river of hope
My mountain of truth
Let me colour your life
With the colour of love

Deep in my heart is desire to love
Deep in my soul is desire to grow
Deep in your smile is desire for more
Deep when we kiss, the feeling that can't be missed

Dejjem ridtek
Dejjem xtaqtek
Lilek žabbejt

Take me up, take me down
Take me into your arms
Spin the magic of love
With one word, with one smile

My desire runs deep
And I'm losing sleep
I wake up to the light
You're the key to my heart

Deep in my heart is desire to love
Deep in my soul is desire to grow
Deep in your smile is desire for more
Deep when we kiss, the feeling that can't be missed

(Deep in my heart is desire to love)
Deep in my soul
(Deep in my soul is desire to grow)
Deep in your smile is desire for more
Deep when we kiss, the feeling that can't be missed

Desire, desire, desire, desire love!

Heart Hotels


Heart Hotels
Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg
Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg



Well there's too many windows
In this old hotel
And rooms filled with reckless pride
And the walls have grown sturdy
And the halls have worn well
But there is nobody living inside
Nobody living inside

Gonna pull in the shutters
On this heart of mine
Roll up the carpets and pull in the blinds
And retreat to the chambers
That I left behind
In hopes there still may be love left to find
Still may be love left to find

Seek inspiration in daily affairs
Your soul's in trouble and requires repairs
And the voices you hear
At the top of the stairs
Are only echoes of unanswered prayers
Echoes of unanswered prayers

Well there's too many windows
In this old hotel
And rooms filled with reckless pride
And the walls have grown sturdy
And the halls have worn well
But there is nobody living inside
Nobody living inside
Nobody living inside

Happy, Happy Birthday Baby


Happy, Happy Birthday Baby
Composer(s): Margo Sylvia; Gilbert Lopez
Performer(s): The Tune Weavers;
and various other artists



Happy, Happy Birthday Baby
Although you're with somebody new
Thought I'd drop a line to say
That I wish this happy day
Would find me beside you

Happy, Happy Birthday Baby
No, I can't call you my baby
Seems like years ago we met
On a day I can't forget
'Cause that's when we fell in love

Do you remember the names we had for each other
I was your pretty, you were my baby
How could we say goodbye

Hope I didn't spoil your birthday
I'm not acting like a lady
So I'll close this note to you
With good luck and wishes too
Happy, Happy Birthday Baby

Soy Un Pobre Agujero


Soy Un Pobre Agujero
Composer(s): León Gieco
Performer(s): León Gieco



Me pueden mirar de arriba hacia abajo
y yo de abajo sólo puedo ver el cielo
Soy, sólo soy un pobre agujero

Hace ya tiempo guardo hojas del invierno
y revivo a veces algún sapo sediento
Soy, sólo soy un pobre agujero

Ni siquiera soy el de una guitarra
ni vendrán los arqueólogos en busca de un hueso
Soy, sólo soy un pobre agujero

No tengo cuerpo ni me sopla el viento
para el arregla calles quizás no molesto
Sólo tengo adentro, soy un pobre agujero

Hace ya tiempo soy amigo de un trapo
y de un solo gusano que el sol pone ciego
Soy, sólo soy un pobre agujero

Después de las lluvias crío renacuajos
pero cuando se van quedo solo en silencio
Soy, sólo soy un pobre agujero

Vivo tranquilo en mi solo bolsillo
casi siempre vacío o algún bicho pasajero
Soy, sólo soy un pobre agujero

Heart Full Of Soul


Heart Full Of Soul
Composer(s): Graham Gouldman
Performer(s): The Yardbirds



And I know if she had me back again
well I would never make her sad
I've gotta heart full of soul
Sick at heart and lonely
deep in dark despair
Thinking one thought only
where is she tell me where
And if she says to you
she doesn't love me
just give her my message
tell her of my plea
She's been gone such a long time
longer than I can bear
but if she says she wants me
tell her that I'll be there
And if she says to you
she doesn't love me
just give her my message
tell her of my plea

Happy Trails


Happy Trails
Composer(s): Dale Evans
Performer(s): Roy Rogers & Dale Evans



Some trails are happy ones, others are blue
It's the way you ride the trail that counts
Here's a happy one for you...

Happy trails to you
Until we meet again
Happy trails to you
Keep smilin' until then

Who cares about the clouds when we're together
Just sing a song and bring the sunny weather
Happy trails to you, til we meet again

Happy trails to you
Until we meet again
Happy trails to you
Keep smilin' until then

Who cares about the clouds when we're together
Just sing a song and bring the sunny weather
Happy trails to you, til we meet again

The Moon


The Moon
Composer(s): Dan Teodorescu
First performance by: Taxi - 2000



I knew it all from the start
I knew you'll rise above my world, a little sun warming my heart
I betrayed myself, I knew I lied
You've searched into my soul to find love
And found me hiding deep inside
You did see a way to set me free

Now I hear when the wind is playing with the stars of my night
Simply 'cause I have you near
Now I feel when the moon is playing on and on and on with my heart
Simply 'cause your love is real
Oh...

I knew it all, I understood
I simply blinked and let the light give me reasons to be good
You did see a way to set me free

Now I hear when the wind is playing with the stars of my night
Simply 'cause I have you near
Now I feel when the moon is playing on and on and on with my heart
Simply 'cause your love is real
Oh...

Yes, I feel when the moon is playing
Oh...

Now I hear how the wind is playing with the stars of my night
Simply 'cause I have you near
Now I feel when the moon is playing on and on and on with my heart
Simply 'cause your love is real
Oh...
Oh...

Heart Attack


Heart Attack
Composer(s): Steve Kipner; Paul Bliss
Performer(s): Olivia Newton-John



My mouth is dry, my legs are weak
I'm thinking this cause I can't speak
I'm looking at you, you're looking at me
You must think that I'm just crazy

If you only knew what you're putting me through
It feels like a heart attack
You're giving me a heart attack
Heart attack
You're giving me a heart attack
Must have died and gone to heaven
What a way to go

I can't catch my breath
You must be a dream
But you're the cutest thing I've ever seen
I'm way past the point of recovery
You're gonna be the death of me

If you only knew what you're putting me through
It feels like a heart attack
You're giving me a heart attack
Heart attack
You're giving me a heart attack
Must have died and gone to heaven
What a way to go
A heart attack
You're giving me a heart attack
Heart attack
You're giving me a heart attack
You're giving me a heart attack
You're giving me a heart attack

Imagine me and you, I do
I think about you day and night
It's only right
To think about the girl you love

And you say you belong to me
And ease my mind
Imagine how the world could be
So very fine
So happy together

For all my life
When you're with me baby the skies'll be blue
For all my life
Me and you and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice

The only one for me is you
And you for me
So happy together

And you for me
So happy together
So happy together

How is the weather
So happy together
We're happy together
So happy together
Happy together
So happy together
So happy together

Soy Un Hippie


Soy Un Hippie
Performer(s): Fito Páez



Llevo todo el dia escapando de los fans
salen de los tazis, de la sopa, del placard
preferiría andar borracho
en el subte

Todos los conciertos son un acto de maldad
todos los ensayos y jamás pude escuchar
preferiría andar cantando
en el subte

Quieres acercarte a mi
y siempre te vas
quieres que te hable a ti
y no me escuchas

...pues esta es la verdad...

I'm a hippie
siempre fue asi
hay un hippie
dentro de mi
no me tomes tan en serio, solo dejo que ocurra

Salgo disfrazado con peluca y un gabán
y los empleados me saludan al pasar
preferiría estar limpiando
en el subte

Yo rezo cada dia a la virgen del Luján
para que me haga invisible en la ciudad
cuando recuerdo mis mañanas
en el subte...
quieres acercarte a mi
y siempre te vas
quieres que te hable a ti
y no me escuchas

...pues esta es la verdad...

Solo me dedico a andar tirado por ahi
perdiendo el tiempo y olvidándome de mi
(si tuvieras que vivir con "éste" solo una semana más
¡que pesado!) (ese es todo tu sueño)
volverías a tu soledad

Soy un hippie
en el subte
hay un hippie
en el subte
hippie...

Heart And Soul


Heart And Soul
Composer(s): Hoagy Carmichael; Frank Loesser
Performer(s): Larry Clinton;
and various other artists



Heart and soul, I fell in love with you
Heart and soul, the way a fool would do, madly
Because you held me tight
And stole a kiss in the night

Heart and soul, I begged to be adored
Lost control, and tumbled overboard, gladly
That magic night we kissed
There in the moon mist

Oh! but your lips were thrilling, much too thrilling
Never before were mine so strangely willing

But now I see, what one embrace can do
Look at me, it's got me loving you madly
That little kiss you stole
Held all my heart and soul
