Stacy Brown Got Two


Stacy Brown Got Two
Composer(s): Shel Silverstein
Performer(s): Shel Silverstein; Bobby Bare



Did you hear bout Stacy brown
(No we didn't but we'd like to)
He had every chick in town
(No he didn't but he tried to)
He had looks, he had class
Do anything to get a little lass
And everyone would shout at him
when he walks his girlies past
They said everybody got one
(Everybody got one)
Everybody got one
(Everybody got one)
Stacy brown got two (Oooh)

Do you know the reason for his success
(No we don't so tell us)
They say that he was double blessed
(Not like you fellas)
They say that Stacy Brown was born
Just a little bit deformed
Still his girl friends
They all wake up smilin' every morn
Singin' everybody got one
(Everybody got one)
Everybody got one
(Everybody got one)
Stacy brown got two (Oooh)

Why they're climbin' up the wall
(Just to get to Stacy)
Young ones run and old ones crawl
(He drives us crazy)
He got two and that's a fact
But no one knows where the other one's at
On his elbow, on his knee
Or underneath his hat
Singin' everybody got one
(Everybody got one)
Everybody got one
(Everybody got one)
Stacy brown got two (Oooh)

He got two, I tell you truth it's a fact
No I ain't seen him, but no I mean it's a fact
Well that's what my old lady told me
No I don't know why she knows, how did she know
Maybe somebody told her, huh
Gossip, maybe it's gossip, how did she know
Maybe just seems like two
I wanna talk to that woman
Singin' everybody got one
(Everybody got one)
Everybody got one
(Everybody got one)
Stacy brown got two (Oooh)

Here, Where There Is Love


Here, Where There Is Love
Composer(s): Burt Bacharach; Mack David
Performer(s): Dionne Warwick; Vicky Calver



Stand here by my side
Let me hold you near me

Here, where there is love, you’re not alone
Here, where there is love, no other man has known
in good times or in bad times
I will be there and I’ll take your hand
Oh, how I love you

Here, where there is love, we’ll be strong
I’ll always be there when you need me

Here, where there is love, you’re not alone
For no man is an island and we need love
So, just come along with me ....

It Hurts


It Hurts
Composer(s): Thomas 'Orup' Eriksson
First performance by: Lena Philipsson - 2004



Nobody but me, could know the way I feel

I'm standing on the rooftop
And I'm crying out your name
I'm looking for an answer
And for somebody to blame
'Cause even though it's over
You linger on my mind, oh

Hurts, oh it hurts, really hurts
In the middle of the night
In the light of the day
You know that it hurts
Oh it hurts, really hurts
And I wish I could be stronger
No longer afraid
Nobody but me, could know the way I feel
Oh it hurts, oh it hurts

I'm trying to forget love
The pain I feel inside
I'm clinging to my pillow
And the tears I cannot hide
I wish it could be over
So I can start anew, oh

Hurts, oh it hurts, really hurts
In the middle of the night
In the light of the day
You know that it hurts
Oh it hurts, really hurts
And I wish I could be stronger
No longer afraid
Nobody but me, could know the way I feel
Oh it hurts, oh

Not easy to remember
And even harder to forget
Whenever I surrender (whenever I surrender)
Oh, you're always on my mind...

(Hurts, oh it hurts, really hurts)
In the middle of the night
In the light of the day
You know that it hurts
Oh it hurts, really hurts
And I wish I could be stronger
No longer afraid
Nobody but me, could know the way I feel
Oh it hurts, ooh it hurts
I wish I could be stronger
Oh, but it hurts

Here, There And Everywhere


Here, There And Everywhere
Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney
Performer(s): Matt Monro



Here, making each day of the year
Changing my life with a wave of her hand
Nobody can deny that there’s something there

There, running my hands through her hair
Both of us thinking how good it can be
Someone is speaking but she doesn’t know he’s there

I want her everywhere
And if she’s beside me, I know I need never care
But to love her is to meet her everywhere
Knowing that love is to share
Each one believing that love never dies
Watching her eyes and hoping I’m always there

To be there, and everywhere
Here, there and everywhere

St. Therese Of The Roses


St. Therese Of The Roses
Composer(s): Remus Harris - Art Strauss
Performer(s): Malcolm Vaughan; Billy Ward & The Dominoes



St. Therese of the roses
I will come to you each night
Near the altar in the chapel
I will pray by candle light
St. Therese of the roses
Won't you kindly hear my prayer
Give your blessings to my sweetheart
And the love that we both share
Won't you guide us and protect us
Through the years that lie ahead
won't you fill our hearts with sunshine
On the day that we are wed
You're the little flower of heaven
Guiding all who come to you
St. Therese of the roses
I know you'll make my prayer come true

Here You Come Again


Here You Come Again
Composer(s): Barry Mann; Cynthia Weil
Performer(s): Dolly Parton



Here you come again
Just when I'm about to make it work without you
You waltz right in the door
Just like you done before
And wrap my heart 'round your little finger
Here you come again
Just when I'm about to make it work without you
You look into my eyes
And light those dreamy eyes
And pretty soon I'm wonderin'
How I came to doubt you

All you gotta do
Is smile that smile
And there go all my defenses
Just leave it up to you
And in a little while
You're messin' up my mind
An' fillin' up my senses

Here you come again
Lookin' better than a body
Has a right to
An' shakin' me up so
That all I really know
Is here you come again
An' here I go

All you gotta do
Is smile that smile
And there go all my defenses
Just leave it up to you
And in a little while
You're messin' up my mind
An' fillin' up my senses

Here you come again
Lookin' better than a body
Has a right to
An' shakin' me up so
That all I really know
Is here you come again
An' here I go

Here I go
An' here I go
An' here I go
Here you come again
An' here I go
Here I go
An' here I go

I Admit


I Admit
Composer(s): George Popa - Irina Gligor
First performance by: Sanda - 2004



As in a dream, love appeared
Swept me away and made me lose control like never before
As in a dream, love touched me
I felt how it touched the bottom of my very soul

Now I know I find the key to my heart
I just hope this ain't a dream and that you are reality

I admit I fell for you so badly
And I admit you make my senses wild
I know sometimes I am looking foolish, I admit, I admit
I'll be your fool as long as you are mine, yes mine, just mine

It's good to be in love
It makes you touch the sky a thousand times or more
It's good to admit
That my heart starts to race when you walk through that door

Now I know you are the key to my heart
Just hope you're not a dream and that you'll be my everything

I admit I fell for you so badly
And I admit you make my senses wild
I know sometimes I am looking foolish, I admit, I admit
I'll be your fool as long as you are mine, yes mine, just mine

I admit I fell for you so badly, and I feel so good
And I admit you make my senses wild
I know sometimes I might act and look foolish, I admit, I admit
I'll be your fool as long as you are mine, yes mine, just mine

Just mine
You make me shine
You are the light in my life

I admit I fell for you so badly, and I feel so good
And I admit you make my senses wild
I know sometimes I am looking foolish, I admit, I admit
I'll be your fool as long as you are mine, yes mine, just mine

I admit I fell for you so badly, and I feel so good
And I admit you make my senses wild, oh yeah
I know sometimes I might act and look foolish, I admit, I admit
I'll be your fool as long as you are mine, yes mine, just mine, all right
Mine, yes mine, just mine
Just mine

Here With Me


Here With Me
Composer(s): Rick Braun; Kevin Cronin
Performer(s): REO Speedwagon



Maybe it's too late, but this feelin' is runnin' through my soul
I think I learned what love is, but I'm afraid I let it go
Maybe it's too late, maybe you've already changed your mind
Turned lovin' into leavin', and I'm on the outside

You can take these words to bed with you, and hold on to them at night
they can erase the emptiness, and make everything alright
But your laughter and your tenderness, will never disappear
No matter where you are tonight, a part of you is Here with me

Here with me
I don't know where you are
All I know is I need you to be
Here with me
I know it's not too late
to turn around and get it straight
It's my fate to have you here with me

I can hear your voice, promising your love will never die
I can feel your golden skin on mine, beneath the desert sky
So how can it be true, how can you just turn and let me go?
Let the story of your life with mine, forever go untold

I can take these words to bed with me, and hold on to them at night
they can erase the emptiness, and make everything alright
Cause your laughter and your tenderness, will never disappear
No matter where you are tonight, a part of you is here with me

(chorus)

(repeat chorus)

Here with me (are you here with me?)
I don't know where you are (don't know where)
All I know is, I need you to be, ohohwhoa,
Here with me
I know it's not too late (know it's not too late)
to turn around and get it straight
Here with me...

St. Stephen


St. Stephen
Composer(s): Jerry Garcia - Phil Lesh - Robert Hunter
Performer(s): Grateful Dead
and multiple other artists



Saint Stephen with a rose
in and out of the garden he goes
country garland in the wind and the rain
wherever he goes the people all complain

Stephen prospered in his time
well he may and he may decline
Did it matter, does it now?
Stephen would answer if he only knew how

Wishing well with a golden bell
bucket hanging clear to hell
hell halfway twixt now and then
Stephen fill it up and lower down and lower down again

Lady finger, dipped in moonlight
writing "What for?" across the morning sky
Sunlight splatters, dawn with answer
darkness shrugs and bids the day goodbye

Speeding arrow, sharp and narrow
what a lot of fleeting matters you have spurned
several seasons with their treasons
wrapped the babe in scarlet covers, call it your own

Did he doubt or did he try?
Answers aplenty in the bye and bye
talk about your plenty, talk about your ills
one man gathers what another man spills

Saint Stephen will remain, all he's lost he shall regain
seashore walk by the suds and the foam
been there so long, he's got to calling it home

Fortune comes a calling, calliope woman
spinning that curious sense of your own
Can you answer, "Yes I can"?
but what would be the answer to the answer-man?

High green chilly winds and windy vines
in loops around the twisted shafts of lavender, they're crawling to the sun

Underfoot the ground is patched
with arms of ivy wrapped around the manzanita, stark and shiny in the breeze

Wonder who will water all the children of the garden
when they sigh about the barren lack of rain and droop so hungry neath the sky

William Tell has stretched his bow till it won't stretch
no furthermore and/or it may require a change that hasn't come before

Here We Go Again (The Sex Pistols)


Here We Go Again
Composer(s): Paul Cook; Steve Jones
Performer(s): The Sex Pistols



Well I´ve seen you once or twice
And I think you´re rather nice
Tell me what is your name
And will you come again

How far can you spit
Is your voice like grit
Might seem out of tune
But you´ll love one day soon

Here we go here we go again
Here we go here we go again
Here we go here we go again
Here we go I just cannot pretend
Here we go we´re off again
Here we go here we go again
Here we go I just cannot pretend
Here we go we´re off again

Stop waisting my time
Get off of my line
What do you wanna ask
The sun shines out my ass

Well I was never wrong
I wrote all the songs
The same old motor runs
I ain´t no rolling stone

For Real


For Real
Composer(s): Gökhan Özoguz - Hakan Özoguz
First performance by: Athena - 2004



Oh... come on up, come on up, come on up now
What you doin', what you waitin' for?
Oh... it's time to push it, break it, rush it
Don't ever let life pass you by

All I know is you don't want to be part of the crowd
Realise yourself

You say it but don't feel it
What you sayin' has no meanin'
Don't hide your soul
For real, I'm for real
Come on up

I wanna bring you up
I wanna bring you up
I wanna bring you up
I wanna bring you up
Do you want? Do you want?
Up, I wanna bring you up, up
I wanna bring you up

Please, please, no questions, no answers
No more running around in circles
Are you in? Are you out?
Do you know your way out?
Let me take you up in the sky

For real, I'm for real
Come on up

I wanna bring you up
I wanna bring you up
I wanna bring you up
I wanna bring you up
Do you want? Do you want?
Up, I wanna bring you up, up
I wanna bring you up

I wanna bring you up
I wanna bring you up
I wanna bring you up
I wanna bring you up
Do you want? Do you want?
Up, I wanna bring you up, up
I wanna bring you...

Come on, come on
Risin' up now, risin' up now

Here we go again
She's back in town again
I'll take her back again
One more time

But any fool knows
That there's no way to win
Here we go again
She'll break my heart again
I'll play the part again
One more time

Feelin' tomorrow lak ah feel today,

I'll pack my trunk, make ma git away

Saint Louis woman wid her diamon' rings

'Twant for powder an' for store-bought hair

Or else he wouldn't have gone so far from me
Doggone it!
I loves day man lak a schoolboy loves his pie
lak a Kentucky Col'nel loves his mint an' rye
I'll love ma baby till the day ah die

Been to de gypsy to get ma fortune tole

cause I'm most wile 'bout ma Jelly Roll
Gypsy done tole me, "Don't you wear no black"
Yes, she done told me, "Don't you wear no black

Go to Saint Louis, you can win him back"
Help me to Cairo, make Saint Louis by maself
Git to Cairo, find ma old friend Jeff

Got de Saint Louis Blues jes as blue as ah can be
Dat man got a heart lak a rock cast in the sea

Or else he wouldn't have gone so far from me

I loves day man lak a schoolboy loves his pie

I'll love ma baby till the day ah die

You ought to see dat stovepipe brown of mine
lak he owns de Dimon' Joseph line
he'd make a cross-eyed o'man go stone blin'
Blacker than midnight, teeth lak flags of truce
blackest man in de whole of Saint Louis
blacker de berry, sweeter am de juice
About a crap game, he knows a pow'ful lot
but when worktime comes, he's on de dot
Gwine to ask him for a cold ten-spot
what it takes to git it, he's cert'nly got

Got de Saint Louis Blues jes as blue as ah can be
Dat man got a heart lak a rock cast in the sea
Or else he wouldn't have gone so far from me
Doggone it!
I loves day man lak a schoolboy loves his pie
lak a Kentucky Col'nel loves his mint an' rye
I'll love ma baby till the day ah die

Extra choruses:
A black-headed gal makes a freight train jump the track
said a black-headed gal makes a freight train jump the track
But a long tall gal makes a preacher ball the jack

Lawd, a blonde-headed woman makes a good man leave the town
I said blonde-headed woman makes a good man leave the town
But a red-headed woman makes a boy slap his papa down

Oh, ashes to ashes and dust to dust, I said ashes to ashes and dust to dust
if my blues don't get you, my jazzing must

Here Till Here Is There


Here Till Here Is There
Composer(s): Robin Williamson
Performer(s): The Incredible Stringband



Where will you go
When days grow short and winds grow cold
And green leaves are shaken
There was a road as once I saw
Wound with bright ivies and trumpeting haws
Of whitest sand embroidered with flowers
That very few has taken

Where will you stay
While rivers run and days eat days
And white stars are pining
In hopes more true in hearts more gay
In love that is stronger and brighter than day
In hands that heal in thoughts that play
In all eyes shining

Why do we talk of go and stay?
We will all be here till here is there!

Stronger Every Minute


Stronger Every Minute
Composer(s): Mike Connaris
First performance by: Lisa Andreas - 2004



No matter where I am
I'm always thinking of you
It may be hard, but I need you to understand
That I don't often say what I feel
But now this is straight from my heart

My love grows stronger every minute
And it won't ever die
I want you to stay with me
Not just this day, but for all my life

Now, when I look into your eyes
I can tell there's something wrong
You're holding back the tears
Couldn't bare to lose you now
So I will make my feelings clear

My love grows stronger every minute
And it won't ever die
You must believe I'll always be there
For you, all my life

Oh... please stay
Mmm...

My love grows stronger every minute
And it won't ever die
I want you to stay with me
Not just this day, but for all my life

Oh... please stay

Here She Comes Now


Here She Comes Now
Composer(s): John Cale; Sterling Morrison;
Lou Reed; Maureen Tucker
Performer(s): The Velvet Underground;
and various other artists



Here she comes now
Gone gone gone
Ready ready ready
Got my eyes wide open

Ever since I was on cripples Monday
Got my eyeballs on my knees
After hours with mad Mary Williams
She never understood a word from me

I know that she cares about me
I heard her call my name
And I know she's long dead and gone
Still it ain't the same

When I wake up in the morning
I heard her call my name
I know she's dead and gone
I heard her call my name

And I felt my mind split open

St. Judy's Comet


St. Judy's Comet
(Italian Version: Piccolino - 1973)
Composer(s): Paul Simon
First release by: Paul Simon - 1973
Covered by multiple other artists



Little sleepy boy
Do you know what time it is?
Well the hour of your bedtime’s
Long been past
And though I know you’re fighting it
I can tell when you rub your eyes
You’re fading fast
Fading fast

Won’t you run come see St. Judy’s Comet
Roll across the skies
And leave a spray of diamonds
In its wake
I long to see St. Judy’s Comet
Sparkle in your eyes
When you awake

Little boy
Won’t you lay your body down
Little boy
Won’t you close your weary eyes
Ain’t nothing flashing but the fireflies

Well I sang it once
And I sang it twice
I’m going to sing it three times more
Going to stay ‘til your resistance
Is overcome
‘Cause if I can’t sing my boy to sleep
well it makes your famous daddy
look so dumb

Won’t you run come see St. Judy’s Comet
Roll across the skies
And leave a spray of diamonds
In its wake
I long to see St. Judy’s Comet
Sparkle in your eyes
When you awake

Little boy, little boy
Won’t you lay your body down
Little boy, little boy
Won’t you close your weary eyes
Ain’t nothing flashing but the fireflies

Oo Little sleepy boy
Do you know what time it is?
Well the hour of your bedtime’s
Long been past
Though I know you’re fighting it
I can tell when you rub your eyes
That you’re fading fast

Xote Das Meninas


Xote Das Meninas
Composer(s): Zé Dantas - Luiz Gonzaga
Performer(s): Marco Pereira; Hamilton de Holanda



Mandacaru, quando flora
Na seca
É o sinal que a chuva chega no
Sertão
Toda menina que enjoa da
Boneca
É sinal que o amor
Já chegou no coração

Meia comprida, não quer mais
Sapato baixo
Vestido bem cintado

Não quer mais vestir timão

Ela só quer, só pensa em
Namorar
Ela só quer, só pensa em
Namorar

De manhã cedo já tá pintada
Só vive suspirando
Sonhando acordada
O pai leva ao doutô
A filha adoentada
Não come nem estuda,
Não dorme, não quer nada

Ela só quer, só pensa em
Namorar
Ela só quer, só pensa em
Namorar
Mas o doutô nem examina
Chamando o pai de lado
Lhe diz logo em surdina
Que o mal é da idade
Que pra tal menina
Não há um só remédio
Em toda medicina

Ela só quer, só pensa em
Namorar
Ela só quer, só pensa em
Namorar

Hold On To Our Love


Hold On To Our Love
Composer(s): Gary Miller - Tim Woodcock
First performance by: James Fox - 2004



Maybe I've been foolish letting you down
I've been a little selfish not being around
But if I lost you, I'd be helpless inside
Gotta hold on to our love tonight

'Cause now that I've found that someone I believe in
And I feel so complete by your side
It's the only time I've ever loved somebody, baby, in my life
We gotta hold on to our love tonight

I know that you've been hurting
The pain's in your eyes
I promise you I'm changing, I feel it inside
I don't know what I would do if it all passes by
We gotta hold on to our love tonight

'Cause now that I've found that someone I believe in
And I feel so complete by your side
It's the only time I've ever loved somebody, baby, in my life
We gotta hold on to our love tonight

Some things in life we should treasure
When you find love, never let it go
Because now I realise and I want you to know

'Cause now that I've found that someone I believe in
And I feel so complete by your side
It's the only time I've ever loved somebody, baby, in my life
We gotta hold on to our love tonight

'Cause now that I've found that someone I believe in
And I feel so complete by your side
It's the only time I've ever loved somebody, baby, in my life
We gotta hold on to our love tonight
We gotta hold on to our love tonight

I saw you standing on the corner, you looked so big and fine I really wanted to go out with you, so when you smiled I laid my heart on the line You read me my rights and then you said "Let's go" and nothing more I thought of my nights, and how they were They were filled with I know you wouldn't go You'd watch my heart burst then you'd step in I had to know so I asked You just had to laugh We sat in the night with my hands cuffed at my side I look at your life and your style I wanted nothing more I know you wouldn't go You'd watch my heart burst then you'd step in I had to know so I asked You just had to laugh Walking the line, you were a marksman Told me that law, like wine, is ageless Public defender You had to admit You wanted the love of a sex offender I know you wouldn't go You'd watch my heart burst then you'd step in I had to know so I asked You just had to laugh My vision in blue, I call you from inside my cell And in the trial, you were there With your badge and rubber boots I think all the time how I'm going to perpetrate love with you And when I get out, there's no doubt I'll be sex offensive to you
