Spring Rain


Spring Rain
Composer(s): Fay Tishman
Performer(s): Pat Boone



Tears at seventeen
Are only spring rain
(You`re just seventeen)

Go ahead and cry

True love will
Come to you again
(Seventeen)

Each little shower
Helps a little flower
Like you to grow

It hurts, I know
To find the wrong ways
That love can go

Tears at anytime
Can do a good thing
(It might do you good)

Dry your pretty eyes
There`s more than
One spring (dry your eyes)

When you`re older
You`re gonna say
That all this anguish
And pain of being seventeen
Was only spring rain

Ten and seven years
May seem the worst time
(You wait, time will tell)
Don`t you waste your tears
On love the first time
(Save your tears)

When you`re older
You`re gonna say
That all this anguish
And pain of being seventeen
Was only spring rain

(Just spring rain)
Just spring rain

Henry My Son


Henry My Son
(Traditional)



Where have you been all the day, Henry my son?
Where have you been all the day, my currant bun?
In the woods, dear mother
In the woods, dear mother
Mother be quick I got to be sick and lay me down to die

What did you do in the woods all day, Henry my boy?
What did you do in the woods all day, my saveloy?
Ate, dear mother
Ate, dear mother
Mother be quick I got to be sick and lay me down to die

What did you eat in the woods all day, Henry my son?
What did you eat in the woods all day, my pretty one?
Eels, dear mother
Eels, dear mother
Mother be quick I got to be sick and lay me down to die

What color were those eels, Henry my boy?
What color were those eels, my pride and joy
Green and yeller
Green and yeller
Mother be quick I got to be sick and lay me down to die

Those eels were snakes, Henry my son
Those eels were snakes, my pretty one
Urgh, dear mother
Urgh, dear mother
Mother be quick I got to be sick and lay me down to die

Don't Break My Heart
Composer(s): Mihai Alexandru - Nicola
First performance by: Nicola - 2003



Have you ever known what the friends are for?
Have you ever listened to your heart and lie no more?
If you wanna count on me, I'd never let you down
But don't break my heart 'cause I don't wanna cry

Have you ever known what the friends are for?
Have you ever listened to your heart and lie no more?
If you wanna count on me, I'd never let you down

Don't you understand, oh baby?

You gotta learn to fight
Do you understand, oh baby?

Have you ever listened to your heart and lie no more?
If you wanna count on me, I'd never let you down
But don't break my heart 'cause I don't wanna cry

Don't break my heart

Henry Lee


Henry Lee
Composer(s): Nick Cave
Performer(s): Nick Cave



Get down, get down, little Henry Lee
And stay all night with me
You won't find a girl in this damn world
That will compare with me
And the wind did howl and the wind did blow
La la la la la
La la la la lee
A little bird lit down on Henry Lee
I can't get down and I won't get down
And stay all night with thee
For the girl I have in that merry green land
I love far better than thee
And the wind did howl and the wind did blow
La la la la la
La la la la lee
A little bird lit down on Henry Lee
She leaned herself against a fence
Just for a kiss or two
And with a little pen-knife held in her hand
She plugged him through and through
And the wind did roar and the wind did moan
La la la la la
La la la la lee
A little bird lit down on Henry Lee
Come take him by his lilly-white hands
Come take him by his feet
And throw him in this deep deep well
Which is more than one hundred feet
And the wind did howl and the wind did blow
La la la la la
La la la la lee
A little bird lit down on Henry Lee
Lie there, lie there, little Henry Lee
Till the flesh drops from your bones
For the girl you have in that merry green land
Can wait forever for you to come home
And the wind did howl and the wind did moan
La la la la la
La la la la lee
A little bird lit down on Henry Lee

Henry Joy


Henry Joy
Performer(s): The Clancy Brothers



An Ulsterman I am proud to be
From the Antrim Glens I come
Although I labour by the sea
I have followed flag and drum
I have heard the martial tramp of men
I've seen them fight and die
Ah, lads, I well remember when
I followed Henry Joy

I pulled my boat up from the sea
I hid my sails away
I hung my nets on a greenwood tree
And I scanned the moonlit bay
The boys were out, and the Redcoats too
I kissed my wife goodbye
And in the shade of the greenwood glade
I followed Henry Joy"
In Antrim town the tyrant stood
He tore our ranks with ball
But with a cheer and a pike to clear
We swept them o'er the wall
Our pikes and sabres flushed that day
We won, but lost, ah, why?
No matter lads, I fought beside
And shielded Henry Joy

Ah, boys, for Ireland's cause we fought
For her and home we bled
Though our pikes were few still our hearts beat true
And five to one lay dead
And many a lassie mourned her lad
And mother mourned her boy
For youth was strong in that gallant throng
Who followed Henry Joy

Eighties Coming Back


Eighties Coming Back
Composer(s): Vaiko Eplik
First performance by: Ruffus - 2003



You thought you had it coming
But now you really, really just don't know
It seems you make a deal far too big outta this

Aha, you thought that you'd done it
Yeah, you thought that you had heard it all
But the state of things is putting you down now
Just because, whoah...

You know they say it's just the eighties coming back
Can you feel it's the eighties coming back?
Yeah, I know it's just the eighties coming
Eighties coming, eighties coming
Eighties coming back

You said let's do it
Let's take it out and dance all night
But those deep synthesizer sounds freak you out
Whoah...

And now you wake up in the middle of the night
In terror, all you do is cry
Cold sweat, a cup of tea, no nothing seems to help you
Through the night, my God

Now, it feels just like the eighties coming back
Can you feel it's the eighties coming back?
Yeah, I know it's just the eighties coming
Eighties coming, eighties coming
Eighties coming back

Yeah, you thought you had it coming
But now it looks like you didn't know this
But everybody's wearing their hair
The way you did fifteen years ago
And it makes you wanna cry

Oh, it feels just like the eighties coming back
Can you feel it? It's the eighties coming back
Yeah, I know it's just the eighties coming
Eighties coming, eighties coming
Eighties coming back

Henry Hudson


Henry Hudson
Composer(s): Nico
Performer(s): Nico



White light lays above
The Henry Hudson riverbank
And you will see a lady standing
Stealing past a happy ending
Staring at the happy landing

Her heart beats loud and fast
Her love looks like a broken glass

White light lays above
The riverbank
A sinking ship has brought the light
Upon the land
And Henry Hudson knows not where
The lady's standing

A lonely shoulder must grow older
Waiting on the riverbank

Spring Is Here


Spring Is Here
Composer(s): Lorenz Hart - Richard Rodgers
First performance/First recording by: Dennis King & Vivienne Segal/Frank Sinatra - 1938/1947
Covered by multiple other artists



Once there was a thing called spring
When the world was writing verses
Like yours and mine
All the lads and girls would sing
When we sat at little tables
And drank May wine
Now April, May and June
Are sadly out of tune
Life has stuck the pin in the balloon

Spring is here!
Why doesn't my heart go dancing?
Spring is here!
Why isn't the waltz entrancing?
No desire
No ambition leads me
Maybe it's because
Nobody needs me
Spring is here!
Why doesn't the breeze delight me?
Stars appear!
Why doesn't the night invite me?
Maybe it's because
Nobody loves me
Spring is here, I hear!

Hemingway Delira


Hemingway Delira
Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Performer(s): Eliades Ochoa



A la deriva la noche...
la selva invade el lanchón
la luna, bola de sangre
la devoró el tiburón
las olas vuelan tiñosas
rizadas por un ciclón
"Pilar" navega sin rumbo
bajo un diluvio de ron...
En el Caribe...
se vive como se escribe
se escribe como se vive...
en el Caribe...
Bajo la noche guajira
Hemingway delira
Una sirena picúa
se proa de mascarón
una bandera, a jirones
lleva pintado un blasón
"Cabeza de cocodrilo
y cuerpo de Camarón..."
Gregorio, el viejo marino
aún sigue siendo el patrón...
En el Caribe...
se vive, se escribe
escribe y vive
el Caribe como es
Bajo la noche guajira
Hemingway delira
Una langosta mulata
anda buscando el timón
y llora una viuda negra
sobre la tripulación...
Lejana, 'Finca Vigía'
sufre una alucinación...
Ernest, el aventurero
se bate contra el Dragón...
En el Caribe...
y se bebe y se mueve y se bebe
en el Caribe...
y se mueve y se bebe y se mueve
en el Caribe... al compás del viejo son...
Bajo la noche guajira
Hemingway delira

Spring In Manhattan


Spring In Manhattan
Composer(s): Alice Scanlan Reach - Anthony Scibetta
Performer(s): Tony Bennett
and multiple other artists



Spring in Manhattan starts after dark
After a lazy afternoon in Central Park
Washington Square may be where you'll feel her first warm touch
Down in the village you'll find she may be much, too much

Spring in Manhattan never stays long
Still if you fall in love she'll bless you with a song
And if you listen to every word the song she'll sing will bring
Spring in manhattan to stay all Winter long

Hembra Mía
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute



Cuando te pienso desnuda
en tu animal insolencia
hembra mía
hembra mía
tu carne de tibia cera
me flagela con espinas
hembra mía

Cuando te pienso desnuda
tan plácidamente ajena
hembra mía
hembra mía
cómo explicarte la lenta
soledad de mi agonía
hembra mía

Cuando te pienso desnuda
ahora que ya no me esperas
hembra mía
hembra mía
duelen tanto los planetas
de esa noche que respiras
hembra mía

Cuando te pienso desnuda
en otro abrazo, perversa
hembra mía
hembra mía
qué sabrán las sordas piedras
que se ríen y me miran
hembra mía

Hello From Mars


Hello From Mars
Composer(s): Martinš Freimanis - Lauris Reiniks
First performance by: F.L.Y. - 2003



Time would pass me by if I
Had never asked you why
Your eyes were open wide
That day you saw me cry

I'm not that kind of girl
Who only dreams of pearls
Just give me wings of love
And make it real

'Cause I'm not afraid of a blade
That we need to cross today
But I'm scared to be shared
By someone else

'Cause this is gonna be
The day that we will meet
When heaven comes so down to earth
To say hello from Mars

My emotions take me high
They seem to reach the sky
I still believe we try
To hit the ground or fly

I'm not afraid of a blade
That we need to cross today
But I'm scared to be shared
By someone else

'Cause this is gonna be
The day that we will meet
When heaven comes so down to earth
To say hello from Mars

'Cause this is gonna be
The day that we will meet
When heaven comes so down to earth
To say hello from Mars

Life is a mystery
Like a perfect harmony
No one knows the day when love
Will come and set you free

'Cause this is gonna be
The day that we will meet
When heaven comes so down to earth
To say hello from Mars

'Cause this is gonna be
The day that we will meet
When heaven comes so down to earth
To say hello from Mars

Spring In Maine


Spring In Maine
Composer(s): Steve Allen - Carolyn Leigh
Performer(s): Margaret Whiting
and multiple other artists



I remember Spring in Maine
The gust of rain, that country lane, and you
I remember fragrant pines
That bear the signs of Valentine's we drew

How you kissed me
And how we laughed those windy afternoons
Racing on the dunes
Like a pair of loons

I recall what might have been
And I recall the pain of coming back another year
To find that Springtime in the State of Maine
Is mainly a state of mind

How you kissed me
And how we laughed those windy afternoons
Racing on the dunes
Like a pair of loons

I recall what might have been
And I recall the pain of coming back another year
To find that Springtime in the State of Maine
Is mainly a state of mind

Helplessly Hoping


Helplessly Hoping
Composer(s): Stephen Stills
Performer(s): Crosby, Stills & Nash;
and various other artists



Helplessly hoping
Her harlequin hovers nearby
Awaiting a word
Gasping at glimpses
Of gentle true spirit
He runs, wishing he could fly
Only to trip at the sound of good-bye

Wordlessly watching
He waits by the window
And wonders
At the empty place inside
Heartlessly helping himself to her bad dreams
He worries
Did he hear a good-bye? Or even hello?

They are one person
They are two alone
They are three together
They are for each other

Stand by the stairway
You'll see something
Certain to tell you confusion has its cost
Love isn't lying
It's loose in a lady who lingers
Saying she is lost
And choking on hello

They are one person
They are two alone
They are three together
They are for each other

Monts Et Merveilles


Monts Et Merveilles
Composer(s): Hocine Hallaf
First performance by: Louisa Baileche - 2003



Rien n'est plus comme avant
Depuis qu'on s'est perdu
Les rivières, l'océan
Toutes les mers se sont tues
Et la terre, et la terre
Pour moi ne tourne plus
J'interroge le ciel
Comme un ange déçu

Oh mon amour
Où es-tu mon amour?

J'ai connu la joie et puis la douleur
J'étais avec toi, je suis sans demeure
Je sais qu'il faudrait ne plus en parler
Au moins essayer un peu d'oublier

On s'était promis des monts et merveilles
Aucun jour de pluie, seulement du soleil
Je sais qu'il faudrait ne plus en parler
Et moi, j'ai pas fini de t'aimer

Oui, je connais mon coeur
Je le sais à l'affût
Un souvenir, même un leurre
Et tout le sang reflux
Et la terre, et la terre
Pour moi ne tourne plus
Je suis nue et sans ailes
Comme un ange déchu

Oh mon amour
Où es-tu mon amour?

J'ai connu la joie et puis la douleur
J'étais avec toi, je suis sans demeure
Je sais qu'il faudrait ne plus en parler
Au moins essayer un peu d'oublier

On s'était promis des monts et merveilles
Aucun jour de pluie, seulement du soleil
Je sais qu'il faudrait ne plus en parler
Au moins essayer un peu d'oublier

Les monts et merveilles
Seulement du soleil
Ne plus en parler
Un peu oublier

Des monts et merveilles
Seulement du soleil
Ne plus en parler
Et moi j'ai pas fini de t'aimer

Helpless Dancer


Helpless Dancer
Composer(s): Pete Townsend
Performer(s): The Who



[Roger's theme]
When a man is running from his boss
Who hold a gun that fires "cost"
And people die from being cold
Or left alone because they're old
And bombs are dropped on fighting cats
And children's dreams are run with rats
If you complain you disappear
Just like the lesbians and queers
No one can love without the grace
Of some unseen and distant face
And you get beaten up by blacks
Who though they worked still got the sack
And when your soul tells you to hide
Your very right to die denied
And in the battle on the streets
You fight computers and receipts
And when a man is trying to change
But only causes further pain
You realize that all along
Something in us going wrong...

You stop dancing
