Hernando's Hideaway
Hernando's Hideaway
Composer(s): Richard Adler; Jerry Ross
Performer(s): Archie Bleyer;
and various other artists
I know a dark secluded place
A place where no one knows your face
A glass of wine, a fast embrace
It’s called Hernando’s Hideaway
Ole!
All you see are silhouettes
And all you hear are castanets
And no one cares how late it gets
Not at Hernando’s Hideaway
Ole!
At the golden finger bowl or anyplace you go
You’ll meet your uncle Max and everyone you know
But if you are sitting close and making love to me
you may take my heart, you may take my soul, but not my key
Just knock three times and whisper low
That you and I were sent by Joe
Then strike a match and you will know
You’re in Hernando’s Hideaway
Ole!

Shame On You
Shame On You
Composer(s): Ivar Lind Greiner - Iben Plesner
First performance by: Tomas Thordarson - 2004
(Nana nana nanana nana nana...)
(Nana nana nanana nana na...)
(Nanana nanana nana nana...)
We've been together for the longest time
I always thought that I could read your mind
But lately we've been like two actors in a show
And I wonder, where's the loving that we used to know?
I hoped that everything would be all right
That you would be forever by my side
But all the feelings and the luck we used to share
Now it seems to me it's gone and that you just don't care
You're my fire, you're my desire, shame on you
Can't you see that we have gone too far?
Don't you leave me, don't you deceive me, shame on you
I just want to be where you are
You know I love you, though you cheat on me
You try to hide it, but it's plain to see
Make up your mind, 'cause I can't take it anymore
Won't you turn to me and tell me what you're waiting for?
You're my fire, you're my desire, shame on you
Can't you see that we have gone too far?
Don't you leave me, don't you deceive me, shame on you
I just want to be where you are
(Nana nana nanana nana nana...)
(Nana nana nanana nana na...)
(Nanana nanana nana nana...)
You're my fire, you're my desire, shame on you
Can't you see that we have gone too far?
Don't you leave me, don't you deceive me, shame on you
I just want to be where you are
You're my fire, you're my desire, shame on you
Can't you see that we have gone too far?
Don't you leave me, don't you deceive me, shame on you
I just want to be where you are
You're my fire, you're my desire, shame on you
Can't you see that we have gone too far?
Don't you leave me, don't you deceive me, shame on you
I just want to be where you are

Herminda De La Victoria
Herminda De La Victoria
Composer(s): Victor Jara; Cantamaranto
Performer(s): Victor Jara
Herminda de la Victoria
murio sin haber luchado
derecho se fue a la gloria
con el pecho atravezado
Las balas de los mandados
mataron a la inocente
lloraban madres y hermanos
en el medio de la gente
Hermanos se hicieron todos
hermanos en la desgracia
peleando contra los lobos
peleando por una casa
Herminda de la Victoria
nacio en el medio del barro
crecio como mariposa
en un terreno tomado
Hicimos la poblacion
y han llovido tres inviernos
Herminda en el corazon
guardaremos tu recuerdo

Stages
Stages
Composer(s): Frank Beard - Billy Gibbons - Dusty Hill
Performer(s): ZZ Top
It's a fine time to fall in love with you
I ain't got a single thing to do
It happened before I knew what was going on
I fell out and knew that I was gone
Stages keep on changing
stages rearranging love
Then you left me standing all alone
I couldn't even get you on the phone
Were you just confused and didn't know
if you should stay or if you had to go?
Stages keep on changing
stages rearranging love
Now you're back and say you're gonna stay
I wouldn't have it any other way
Tell me it's for real and let me know
why does lovin' have to come and go
Stages keep on changing
stages rearranging love

My Galileo
My Galileo
Composer(s): Alexandra Kirsanova - Konstantin Drapezo - Alexey Solomakha
First performance by: Alexandra & Konstantin - 2004
I'm no stay-at-home, and heady
Is my quest and venture mode
And the road is there to tread it
All-dimensional road
Round I go, desperate to reach new horizons
Circles grow, but you...
You're my pier, centre in my life
My Galileo - I rotate to you, I'm here
Wind is high and branches rattle
On the shuttered window pane
And the dust has not yet settled
I'm leavin' again
Round I go, desperate to reach new horizons
Circles grow, but you...
You're my pier, centre in my life
My Galileo - I rotate to you, I'm here
I'm here again
(Hey la la... hey la la... hey la...)
(Hey la la... hey la la... hey la...)
My Galileo
(Hey la la... hey la la... hey la...)
(Hey la la... hey la la... hey la...)
You're my pier, centre in my life
(Hey la la... hey la la... hey la...)
My Galileo - I rotate to you, I'm here
(Hey la la... hey la la... hey la...)
I'm here again
I'm here again

Here's To The Losers
Here's To The Losers
Composer(s): Robert Wells; Jack Segal
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
Here's to those who love not too wisely
know not wisely, but too well
To the girl who sighs with envy
when she hears that wedding bell
To the guy who'd throw a party if he knew someone to call
Here's to the losers, bless them all
Here's to those who drink their dinners
when that lady doesn't show
To the girl who'll wait for kisses underneath that mistletoe
To the lonely summer lovers when the leaves begin to fall
Here's to the losers, a-bless them all
Hey, Tom, Dick and Harry, come in out of the rain
Those torches you carry must be drowned in champagne
Here's the last toast of the evening, here's to those who still believe
All the losers will be winners, all the givers shall receive
Here's to trouble-free tomorrows, may your sorrows all be small
Here's to the losers, bless them all
Hey, Tom, Dick and Harry, come in out of that rain
Those torches you carry must be drowned in champagne
Here's the last toast of the evening, here's to those who still believe
All the losers will be winners, all the givers shall receive
Here's to trouble-free tomorrows, may your sorrows all be small
Here's to the losers, here's to the losers, here's to the losers
Bless them all!

Stage Fright
Stage Fright
Composer(s): J.R. Robertson
Performer(s): The Band
Now deep in the heart of a lonely kid
Who suffered so much for what he did
They gave this ploughboy his fortune and fame
Since that day he ain't been the same
See the man with the stage fright
Just standin' up there to give it all his might
And he got caught in the spotlight
But when we get to the end
He wants to start all over again
I've got fire water right on my breath
And the doctor warned me I might catch a death
Said, "You can make it in your disguise
Just never show the fear that's in your eyes"
See the man with the stage fright
Just standin' up there to give it all his might
He got caught in the spotlight
But when we get to the end
He wants to start all over again
Now if he says that he's afraid
Take him at his word
And for the price that the poor boy has paid
He gets to sing just like a bird, oh, ooh ooh ooh
Your brow is sweatin' and your mouth gets dry
Fancy people go driftin' by
The moment of truth is right at hand
Just one more nightmare you can stand
See the man with the stage fright
Just standin' up there to give it all his might
And he got caught in the spotlight
But when we get to the end
He wants to start all over again, hmm hmm
You wanna try it once again, hmm hmm
Please don't make him stop, hmm hmm
Let him take it from the top, hmm hmm
Let him start all over again

Here's To Life
Here's To Life
Composer(s): Artie Butler; Phyllis Molinary
Performer(s): Shirley Horne
No complaints and no regrets
I still believe in chasing dreams and placing bets
But I have learned that all you give is all you get, so give it all you got
I had my share, I drank my fill, and even though I’m satisfied I’m hungry still
To see what’s down another road, beyond a hill and do it all again
So here’s to life and all the joy it brings.
Here’s to life the dreamers and their dreams
Funny how the time just flies
How love can turn from warm hellos to sad goodbyes
And leave you with the memories you’ve memorized
To keep your winters warm
There’s no yes in yesterday
And who knows what tomorrow brings or takes away
As long as I’m still in the game I want to play
For laughs, for life, for love
So here’s to life and all the joy it brings
Here’s to life, the dreamers and their dreams
May all your storms be weathered
And all that’s good get better
Here’s to life, here’s to love, here’s to you
May all your storms be weathered
And all that's good get better
Here's to life, here's to love, here's to you

Jugarem A Estimar-Nos
Jugarem A Estimar-Nos
Composer(s): Jofre Bardagí
First performance by: Marta Roure - 2004
No en tinc cap dubte, cap dels dos sabem
per que estem junts aquesta nit
Tu no saps ni com em dic
i la veritat, tampoc jo se el teu nom
Potser és millor que no pensem en res
aprofitem que estem solets
Aparquem tots els problemes
i disfrutem d'aquest moment
Aquesta nit farem que sigui nostra
Aquesta nit podrem ser el que volguem
mentre esperem que surti el sol
Vull que estiguem junts
que no deixem de jugar
vull que em diguis "jo t'estimo"
tot i no ser veritat
Vull que ens abracem
que disfrutem del moment
i juguar... Jugarem a estimar-nos
I quan el sol demà et tregui del llit
jo ja no seré al teu costat
Només quedarà un record
el somni d'una nit d'estiu
D' aquella nit que vam tenir tots dos
ben lluny de tota realitat
Una nit que ara vivim
i volem que duri eternament
On no importa res, només nosaltres
Aquesta nit val tot, seré qui vulguis
mentre no aparegui el sol
Vull que estiguem junts
que no deixem de jugar
vull que em diguis "jo t'estimo"
tot i no ser veritat
Vull que ens abracem
que disfrutem del moment
i jugar... Jugarem a estimar-nos
Vull que estiguem junts
que no deixem de jugar
vull que em diguis "jo t'estimo"
tot i no ser veritat
Vull que ens abracem
que disfrutem del moment
i jugar... Jugarem a estimar-nos
No tenim cap pressa
però no perdem temps
Que quan surti el sol
la màgia es perderà
Que la nit és llarga
però l' em d'aprofitar
Seré el que tu vulguis
fins que surti el sol
Fins que surti el sol
Vull que estiguem junts
que no deixem de jugar
vull que em diguis "jo t'estimo"
tot i no ser veritat
Vull que ens abracem
que disfrutem del moment
i jugar... Jugarem a estimar-nos
Vull que estiguem junts
que no deixem de jugar
vull que em diguis "jo t'estimo"
tot i no ser veritat
Vull que ens abracem,
que disfrutem del moment
i jugar... Jugarem a estimar-nos
Fins que surti el sol

Here's That Rainy Day
Here's That Rainy Day
Composer(s): Johnny Burke; Jimmy Van Heusen
Performer(s): Ella Fitzgerald;
and various other artists
Maybe I should have saved those leftover dreams
Funny, but here's that rainy day
Here's that rainy day they told me about
And I laughed at the thought that
It could end this way
Where is that worn out wish that I threw aside
After it brought my love so near?
Funny how love becomes a cold rainy day
Funny, that rainy day is here
Funny how love becomes a cold rainy day
Funny, that rainy day is here

Staffan Var En Stalledräng
Staffan Var En Stalledräng
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Cornelis Vreeswijk
Staffan var en stalledräng
Vi tackom nu så gärna
Han vattna' sina fålar fem
Allt för den ljusa stjärna
Ingen dager synes än
Stjärnorna på himmelen de blänka
Två de voro röda
Vi tackom nu så gärna
De tjänte väl sin föda
Allt för den ljusa stjärna
Ingen dager synes än
Stjärnorna på himmelen de blänka
Två de voro vita
Vi tackom nu så gärna
De va de andra lika
Allt för den ljusa stjärna
Ingen dager synes än
Stjärnorna på himmelen de blänka
Den femte han var apelgrå
Vi tackom nu så gärna
Den rider själva Staffan på
Allt för den ljusa stjärna
Ingen dager synes än
Stjärnorna på himmelen de blänka
Innan hanen galit har
Vi tackom nu så gärna
Staffan uti stallet var
Allt för den ljusa stjärna
Ingen dager synes än
Stjärnorna på himmelen de blänka
Innan solen månd' uppgå
Vi tackom nu så gärna
Betsel och gullsadel på
Allt för den ljusa stjärna
Ingen dager synes än
Stjärnorna på himmelen de blänka
Staffan rider till källan
Vi tackom nu så gärna
Han öser upp vatten med skällan
Allt för den ljusa stjärna
Ingen dager synes än
Stjärnorna på himmelen de blänka

Here's My Heart
Here's My Heart
Composer(s): Giorgio Moroder; Pete Bellotte
Performer(s): Pat Benatar
Our two worlds met in strange surprise
I hid my love in thin disguise
I tried to leave, how could I stay?
What if my heart gave me away?
I always thought I'd be prepared
But love just caught me unaware
You said the words and I believed
I fell so hard, I fell so deep
Love can't hide, though it tries
Hearts catch fire, so has mine
Here's My Heart
So true love triumphs once again
It always makes it in the end
And if you let the heart run free
It will return faithfully
Love can't hide, though it tries
Hearts catch fire, all the time
Helpless love walks the line
Hearts catch fire, the hour is fine
Here's My Heart
Ooh, Ooh
Love can't hide, though it tries
Hearts catch fire, all the time
Helpless love walks the line
Hearts catch fire, so has mine
Here's My Heart
Here's My Heart
Here's My Heart
Here's My Heart
Ooh...

Love Me Or Leave Me
Love Me Or Leave Me
Composer(s): Gus Kahn - Walter Donaldson
First performance/First recording/First release by: Ruth Etting - 1928/1928/1929
Covered by multiple other artists
This suspense is killing me
I can't stand uncertainty
Tell me now, I got to know
Whether you want me to stay or go
Love me or leave me and let me be lonely
You won't believe me and I love you only
I'd rather be lonely than happy with somebody else
You might find the nighttime the right time for kissing
But nighttime is my time for just reminiscing
Regretting instead of forgetting with somebody else
There'll be no one unless that someone is you
I intend to be independently blue
I want your love, but I don't want to borrow
To have it today, to give back tomorrow
For my love is your love, there's no love for nobody else
Oh, love me or leave me, let me be lonely
You won't believe me and I love you only
I'd rather be lonely than happy with somebody else
You might find the nighttime the right time for kissing
But nighttime is my time for just reminiscing
Regretting instead of forgetting with somebody else
There'll be no one unless that someone is you
I intend to be independently blue, oh, so blue
I want your love, but I don't want to borrow
To have it today, to give back tomorrow
For I couldn't bear it, to share it with somebody else

Here’s Love In Your Eye
Composer(s): Ralph Rainger; Leo Robin
Performer(s): Helen Ward;
and various other artists
Oh, here’s love in your eye
And may it keep on glowing
Love in your eye just for me
You look divine
And when we dance or dine, dear
My head goes reeling
But it’s not from wine
There’s love in my heart
And may it keep on glowing
I know that I’m aiming high
But here’s a toast
To what I want the most
Here’s love, love in your eye

All By Yourself In The Moonlight
All By Yourself In The Moonlight
Composer(s): Jay Wallis
Performer(s): Whispering Jack Smith
and multiple other artists
Now, boys were made for girls, and girls were made for boys
Made to share each others cares and joys
And life without a mate, is like an empty plate
And what did Adam say before he met his fate
There ain't no sense sitting on the fence
All by yourself in the moonlight
There ain't no thrill by the watermill
All by yourself in the moonlight
There ain't no fun sitting beneath the trees
Giving yourself a hug, giving yourself a squeeze
Love's a farce, sittin' on the grass
All by yourself in the moonlight
Now, she's must have their he's, and he's must have their she's
Otherwise there'd be no family trees
Why even in the zoos, they keep them there in two's
Otherwise there'd be no kangaroo's
There ain't no sense sitting on the fence
All by yourself in the moonlight
There ain't no thrill by the watermill
All by yourself in the moonlight
There ain't no fun sitting beneath the trees
Giving yourself a hug, giving yourself a squeeze
It's insane, swinging down the lane
All by yourself in the moonlight
Now it get's your goat, riding in a boat
All by yourself in the moonlight
And it's all a fake, swimming in the lake
All by yourself in the moonlight
No it don't make sense, sitting upon the sands
Whispering to yourself, ain't the scenery grand
Ther ain't no whim, when you go to swim
All by yourself in the moonlight
Now, you can't tell lies, to the butterflies
All by yourself in the moonlight
And you'll agree, that you're poor company
All by yourself in the moonlight
When you're alone, it doesn't bring to light
Kissing yourself hello, kissing yourself goodnight
And there ain't no kick, gosh it makes you ill
All by yourself in the moonlight
There ain't no sense sitting on the fence
All by yourself in the moonlight
There ain't no thrill by the watermill
All by yourself in the moonlight
There ain't no fun sitting beneath the trees
Giving yourself a hug, giving yourself a squeeze
Love's a farce, sittin' on the grass
Rahhh
I beg your pardon gentlemen
ranton
All by yourself in the moonlight
Goodnight

Here's Looking At You
Here's Looking At You
Composer(s): Debbie Harry; Chris Stein
Performer(s): Blondie
As I sit staring into this liquid amber
Ripples move out to the edge of the glass
Is that really your reflection in there?
I just wanna jump into the warm depths
And be there with you one more time!
Oh alright
Hit it boys!
My initials sprayed across a pavement
Cut into your private winter room
Talk to me now
Step into my room we'll have a word or two
If I ever had a million dollars
If I didn't give it all to you
Would you lose interest?
Show me indifference?
Foot in another shoe?
Not very high heels
Not wearing sneakers too
A magazine ad a printed canvas
A basic mid shade blue suede shoe
Thought I'd like to have a little party
Thought I'd like to have a little do
Sure I stopped drinking
But for the moment honey here's looking at you!
I'll stop my drinking give you my promise true
Clean out the closet
Be existential and cast a vote for the president too
But for the action of the moment
Nothing does what it ought to do
Instant depression I learned my lesson
Nothing that I'd rather do
Come on over my place
Can't see him sideways
Honey here's looking at you

Ee-By-Gum
Ee, By Gum!
Composer(s): Butler - Flynn
Performer(s): Tommy Handley; Gracie Fields
The Yankee says Gee Wiz
The Scotsman says 'Ood-aye
The Welshman says Indeed You Goodness
Goodness knows just why
In Lancashire and Yorkshire
Ever since the world began
This is the expression of a strong and silent man
'Ee By Gum, 'Ee-hee By Gum
The only thing he ever says is 'Ee By Gum
He says it when he's happy
And he says it when he's glum
He means an awful lot when he says 'Ee-ee By Gum
He hears it in the cradle before he cuts a tooth
He learns it as a baby and he says it as a youth
And when he goes a courting
And his girl goes Hmm-mm-hmm-mm-mm-mmm
He looks into her eyes and whispers
'Ee-ee-ee-ee By Gum
The Frenchmen say La La
The Irish say Bedad
Os Bobbikins is what they said
When Cromwell was a lad
The Spaniard says Karumba
And the eskimo says Wow
But none of them mean half as much
As what I'm singing now
'Ee By Gum, 'Ee-hee By Gum
The only thing he ever says is 'Ee-hee-ee By Gum
He says it when he's happy
And he says it when he's glum
He means an awful lot when he says 'Ee By Gum
He hears it in the cradle before he cuts a tooth
He learns it as a baby and he says it as a youth
At the Isle of Mann or Blackpool
For a while he lose his chum
When his chum says Wheres Thou Been Lad?
He says 'Ee By Gum
Hee-ee-ee-'Ee By Gum
'Ee-hee-ee By Gum
