Highway Song (Blackfoot)
Highway Song
Composer(s): Rick Medlocke; Jackson Spires
Performer(s): Blackfoot
Another day, another dollar
After I sing and holler
Oh it's my way of livin'
and I can't change a thing
Another town is drawing near
Oh baby I wish you were here
But the only way I can see you darlin'
is in my dreams
It's a highway song
you sing it on and on
on and on
Yeah the hurt you leave behind
Is the hurt that's on your mind
Oh and last night suretook it's
toll on me
Well the city lights fly by me
As I lay my body in my bed
And dreams of you flash through
my head
It's a highway song
you sing it on and on
on and on
Highway song
it's as long as
as the road I'm on
Yes these big wheels are ready to roll
We've been flyin' high I'm so low
And all in all this madness
Ain't as crazy as it seems
Everywhere they stop and stare
I'm just a stranger on this road
I stand alone only in my dreams
(repeat chorus)

Hard Rock Hallelujah
Hard Rock Hallelujah
Composer(s): Mr. Lordi
First performance by: Lordi - 2006
Hard rock hallelujah
Hard rock hallelujah
The saints are crippled on this sinners' night
Lost are the lambs with no guiding light
The walls come down like thunder, the rocks about to roll
It's the Arockalypse, now bare your soul
All we need is lightning with power and might
Striking down the prophets of false
As the moon is rising, give us the sign
Now let us rise up in awe
Rock 'n' roll angels, bring that hard rock hallelujah
Demons and angels all in one have arrived
Rock 'n' roll angels, bring that hard rock hallelujah
In God's creation, supernatural high
The true believers, thou shall be saved
Brothers and sisters, keep strong in the faith
On the Day of Rockoning, it's who dares, wins
You will see the jokers soon'll be the new kings
All we need is lightning with power and might
Striking down the prophets of false
As the moon is rising, give us the sign
Now let us rise up in awe
Rock 'n' roll angels, bring that hard rock hallelujah
Demons and angels all in one have arrived
Rock 'n' roll angels, bring that hard rock hallelujah
In God's creation, supernatural high
Wings on my back, I got horns on my head
My fangs are sharp and my eyes are red
Not quite an angel or the one that fell
Now choose to join us or go straight to hell
Hard rock hallelujah
Hard rock hallelujah
Hard rock hallelujah
Hard rock, yeah
Rock 'n' roll angels, bring that hard rock hallelujah
Demons and angels all in one have arrived
Rock 'n' roll angels, bring that hard rock hallelujah
In God's creation, supernatural high
Hard rock, hallelujah

Highwayman (Johnny Cash; Willie Nelson; Waylon Jennings; Kris Kristofferson)
Highwayman
Composer(s): Jimmy Webb
Performer(s): Johnny Cash; Willie Nelson;
Waylon Jennings; Kris Kristofferson;
and various other artists
Willie:
I was a highwayman
Along the coach roads I did ride
With sword and pistol by my side
Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade
Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade
The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty-five
But I am still alive
Kris:
I was a sailor
I was born upon the tide
And with the sea I did abide
I sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico
I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow
And when the yards broke off they said that I got killed
But I am living still
Waylon:
I was a dam builder across the river deep and wide
Where steel and water did collide
A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado
I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below
They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound
But I am still around..I'll always be around....
and around and around and around and around
Johnny:
I fly a starship across the Universe divide
And when I reach the other side
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
But I will remain
And I'll be back again, and again and again and again and again....

Start The Day Right
Start The Day Right
Composer(s): Charles Tobias - Al Lewis - Maurice Spitalny
Performer(s): Bing Crosby & Connie Boswell
and multiple other artists
Off with the blanket, down with the window, on with the day
You gotta stretch just a little, bend just a little, you’ll feel OK
Sing while you’re washing, sing while you’re dressing
Carefree and gay
Ho-dle-ay start the day right
Back to the window, up with the window, down with some air
Off with the slippers, on with the shoes and then comb your hair
Out of the bedroom, into the kitchen
Breakfast is there
Ho-dle-ay start the day right
Though the skies be cloudy
Smile and all the world say’s “Howdy”
Off with the blanket, up with the curtain, greet the new day
In with the sugar, down with the jam, but don’t you delay
Out of the kitchen, out of the cottage
Sing on your way
Ho-dle-ay start the day right
On with the day
Come on now, Satch, you feel OK
Sing while you’re washing, sing while you’re dressing
Gat on outa that hay
What d’ya say we get some of the air
Come on, rugged, comb your hair
Out of the bedroom, into the kitchen
Come and get it, breakfast is there
Though the skies be cloudy
(it sure do look like rain don’t it
(clear up directly)
Smile and all the world says “Howdy”
Off with the blanket, up with the curtain, greet the new day
In with the sugar, only two lumps please, don’t you delay
Out of the kitchen, out of the cottage
Singing on your way
Ho-dle-ay start the day right
That's right
Hear what I'm tellin' ya
That's right
Ho-ho-ho-dle-ay, that's the only way
You gotta start the day right
Well, roll it
Quickly

Highway Made Of Glass
Highway Made Of Glass
Composer(s): Ivona Reich; Jan Hammer
Performer(s): Jan Hammer
Raindrops and moonlight
Gather on a highway made of glass
I’m driving all night
Thinking of the different years that passed
I found that my love
You remain the true and only one
Guiding star bright
Clear as water running through the grass
Times that we had to be so far apart
Sometimes we couldn’t even talk
You know that life together can be hard
And yet you found a way to make it work but
I forgot to tell you
And at times I couldn’t even try
How strong is my love
Evergreen that reaches for the sky
Highway made of glass
Raindrops and moonlight
Shining like the colors in your hair
How high is my love
High above the castles in the air
Times that we had to be so far apart
Sometimes we couldn’t even talk
You know that life together can be hard
And yet you found a way to
Make it all work out
And I’m smiling
Driving fifty five while I should fly
Strong is my love
Evergreen that reaches for the sky

Start Off Each Day With A Song
Start Off Each Day With A Song
Composer(s): Jimmy Durante
Performer(s): Jimmy Durante; Eddie Jackson; John Scott Trotter & His Orch.
You gotta start off each day with a song
Now even when things go wrong
You'll feel better, you'll even look better
I'm here to tell you that you'll be a go-getter
Now the way that you shake my hand
Will tell me how I stand
Now isn't it better to go through life with a smile and a song
Then walking around life with a face, 11 miles long
Now you know that you can't go wrong
If you start off each day with a song
You gotta start off each day with a song
(oh sing it to me boy)
Even when things go wrong
(sing it for the hoi-poloi)
You'll feel better, you'll even look better
Ah, that music it does somethin' to me
I wish I knew what it was
Last night I was telling Umbriago about my latest concerto
Called Tony's push cart
He said Tony's push cart, how does it go
I said it doesn't go you have to push it
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
I got a million of 'em, a million of 'em
Now you know that you can't go wrong
(yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yes)
If you start off each day with a song
You gotta start off each..... boys please, soft, soft
A little more fortissimo
I wanna relate a yarn
Turn back the pages of history and what do you see
Madison Square Garden, a Rodeo
And there I was
Interviewing a prize winning cow.
I asked her to tell the radio public how she feels
She said mooooooooo
She's contented, I'm contented
But her husband ain't
So what happens?
The bull ups to me, I ups to him
And without any preliminaries
I'm flat on my back
Being a gentlemen I apologize
But the bull's not satisfied
He demands an autopsy
So I grabs him by the tail and what happens
He flips his tail
I lands on his head
He flips his head
I lands on his tail
He's playing ping pong with me
And I'm losing
Just then the bull is ready to charge again
I gets an idea
I starts singing South Of The Border Down Mexico Way
And what happens
The bull starts crying
But even regardless I keeps on singin'
This time with the castanets
That's too much for the bull and he collapses
A cheer goes up, I'm saved and the moral is
You've gotta start off each day with a song
You gotta start off each day with a song
(oh boy your singing now)
Even when things go wrong
(oh Jimmy your a wow)
You'd feel better,
You know I'm walking down Broadway
And who taps me on the shoulder
My pal, Hit 'Em In The Head Schwartz
I said who you working for now
He said the same bunch
The wife and the kids
Ha ha ha ha ha
Now isn't it better to go through life with a smile and a song
Then walking around with a face 11 miles long
Now you know that you can't go wrong
(yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yes)
If you start off each day with a song

Highway
Highway
Performer(s): Fat Mattress
I was walking down a street
And I thought it was a highway not a byway
Oh
I don't really care as long as it's not
A sighway goin' my way I don't need that
Looking in the distance I see a crowd of people
Wonder what they're doing
wonder what they're saying
Hope they're thinking as well as talking
Seems I never get the time
Or the feeling that sends you reeling anymore
Oh
but I don't really care
as long as there's
A highway
goin' my way
I can head for
Looking in the distance I see a crowd of people
Wonder what they're doing
wonder what they're saying
Hope they're thinking as well as talking

Everything
Everything
Composer(s): Nikos Karvelas - Anna Vissi
First performance by: Anna Vissi - 2006
I can hear my heart breaking as I open the door
I can feel the tears on my face burn like fire
As I look in your eyes
And I know I'm still in love
With everything I hate, everything you do
Everything I fear, everything on you
Baby, baby, I'm still in love
With everything I hate, everything you do
Everything I fear, everything on you
Everything I hate, everything you do
Everything I fear, everything on you
I can feel my life ending as I whisper goodbye
And I know I'm still in love
With everything I hate, everything you do
Everything I fear, everything on you
With everything I hate, everything you do
Everything I fear, everything on you
I can't believe I still need you
I can't believe I still want you
Can't believe life means nothing without you
Baby, I'm still in love, still in love, still in love
With everything I hate, everything you do
Everything I fear, everything on you
Everything I hate, everything you do
Everything I fear, everything on you
I'm in love with everything you are

Highland Fairy Lullaby
Highland Fairy Lullaby
(Traditional)
I left my baby lying here
Lying here, lying here
I left my baby lying here
To go and gather blueberries
I found the wee brown otter's track
Otter's track, otter's track
I found the wee brown otter's track
But ne'er a trace o' my baby, O!
I found the track of the swan on the lake
Swan on the lake, swan on the lake
I found the track of the swan on the lake
But not the track of baby, O!
I found the trail of the mountain mist
Mountain mist, mountain mist
I found the trail of the mountain mist
But ne'er a trace of baby, O!
Hovan, Hovan Gorry og O
Gorry og, O, Gorry og O
Hovan, Hovan Gorry og O
I've lost my darling baby, O!

Start Me Up
Composer(s): Mick Jagger - Keith Richards
First release by: The Rolling Stones - 1981
Covered by multiple other artists
If you start me up
If you start me up I'll never stop
If you start me up
If you start me up I'll never stop
I've been running hot
You got me ticking gonna blow my top
If you start me up
If you start me up I'll never stop
You make a grown man cry
Spread out the oil, the gasoline
I walk smooth, ride in a mean, mean machine
Start it up
If you start it up
Kick on the starter give it all you got, you got, you got
I can't compete with the riders in the other heats
If you rough it up
If you like it you can slide it up, slide it up
Don't make a grown man cry
My eyes dilate, my lips go green
My hands are greasy
She's a mean, mean machine
Start it up
If start me up
Give it all you got
You got to never, never, never stop
Never, never
Slide it up
You make a grown man cry
Ride like the wind at double speed
I'll take you places that you've never, never seen
Start it up
Love the day when we will never stop, never stop
Never stop, never stop
Tough me up
Never stop, never stop, never stop
You, you, you make a grown man cry
You, you make a dead man cum
You, you make a dead man cum

Higher Than A Hawk (Deeper Than A Well)
Higher Than A Hawk (Deeper Than A Well)
Composer(s): Sammy Fain; Paul Francis Webster
Performer(s): Howard Keel;
Doris Day; Jason Howard
My heart is higher than a hawk
my love is deeper than a well
I'm thinkin' in a little while
My love and I'll be doin' very well
An owl is givin' me the eye
The wind is blowin' me a kiss
I wouldn't be at all surprised
If I were only dreamin' all of this
And when I strut about like a Sunny Jim
Dressed in yeller and red
Folks'll shout, "Take a look at him!
He's tetched in the head!"
I said that I would never fall
I laughed at others when they fell
And here I'm falling, higher than a hawk
And deeper than a well
And when we're all rigged out like a birthday cake
Eyes'll pop everywhere
Folks'll shout, "Don't you think
they make a wonderful pair?"
I said that I would never fall
But if you promise not to tell
My love for you is higher than a hawk
And deeper than a well

Teenage Life
Teenage Life
Composer(s): John Matthews - Daz Sampson
First performance by: Daz Sampson - 2006
("What did you learn at school today?")
(That's what the teachers used to say) Oh yeah
(But they don't know, don't understand, do they?)
(Why do they always give advice?) Always
(Saying: "Just be nice, always think twice")
(When it's been a long time since they had a teenage life) Let's go
("What did you learn at school today?") What did you learn?
(That's what the teachers used to say) What did you learn?
(But they don't know, don't understand, do they?)
(Why do they always give advice?) Always, always
(Saying: "Just be nice, always think twice")
(When it's been a long time since they had a teenage life)
Dwellin' on the past, from back when I was young
Thinkin' of my school days and tryin' to write this song
Classroom schemes and dreams, man, they couldn't save me
'Cause my days were numbered when I signed down on Avy
Teenage kicks running out, what could we do?
I still show respect to my boys who made it through
And getting told off Mr T how my life would be
Then giving him a signal, so everyone could see
Sunshine and shade, those girls I'd serenade
Thinkin' of those sixth form chicks that misbehave (Whatever)
Hopin' that those days would go on and on forever
Every day something new, just friends runnin' together
But suddenly school ends, your teenage life's gone
All your mates are growin' up, now they're movin' on
And now I'm lookin' back, I'll tell you what I know
Do you listen to your teacher? No, I don't think so
("What did you learn at school today?") Yeah, yeah
(That's what the teachers used to say)
(But they don't know, don't understand, do they?)
(Why do they always give advice?)
(Saying: "Just be nice, always think twice")
(When it's been a long time since they had a teenage life)
Now if you give the kids time, together they will shine
Yeah, yeah
(Ooh... shine) We all will shine, hear me now
And if you treat the kids fine, they won't do the crime
No, no (Won't do the crime)
Yeah
Now my bad old ways were durin' my school days
Messin' with those grade A's, my life is just a haze
I'm goin' through the struggle, five ten and kickin' back
So I could lock the flow, lace it up now on the track
Oh yeah, I felt the pain whilst chasin' all the fame
I'm being told I'm nothin', just a player in the game
But now I walk tall, stand proud for you to see
I'm drivin' these fast cars, it's five stars for me
("What did you learn at school today?")
Just take your turn, you gotta learn
(That's what the teachers used to say)
(But they don't know, don't understand, do they?)
They don't know nothin'
(Why do they always give advice?) Always givin' advice, yeah
(Saying: "Just be nice, always think twice")
(When it's been a long time since they had a teenage life)
Yeah, yeah
(When it's been a long time since they had a teenage life)

Start Living
Start Living
Performer(s): Matt Monro
You wake up and be smart
You’ll never hear those drums while you twiddle with your thumbs
So, starting today, stop your work and find more time to play
Follow me and start living
Go polish up your grin, do some things you’ve never done
Start surprising everyone, when you start to glow
You’ll be the one that they all want to know
So have fun and start living
In one wild moment of madness, you can lose your sadness
So paint a smile upon your face, like a lawyer who has won the case
Go dress in style tonight, have some fun at any price
Order champagne on the ice
Tomorrow your head may feel like lead and you’ll wish you were dead
But you have just started living
In one wild moment of madness you can lose your sadness
So paint a smile upon your face, like Perry Mason when he’s won a case
Go dress in style tonight
Have some fun at any price
Order champagne on the ice
Tomorrow your head may feel like lead and you’ll wish you were dead
But you’ve just, now you’ve just, you’ve only just
Started living
Yes, you’ve started living
You’ve just started living

Higher Love
Higher Love
Composer(s): Will Jennings; Steve Winwood
Performer(s): Steve Winwood
Think about it, there must be higher love
Down in the heart or hidden in the stars above
Without it, life is a wasted time
Look inside your heart, I’ll look inside mine
Things look so bad everywhere
In this whole world, what is fair?
We walk blind and we try to see
Falling behind in what could be
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Where’s that higher love I keep thinking of?
Worlds are turning and we’re just hanging on
Facing our fear and standing out there alone
A yearning, and it’s real to me
There must be someone who’s feeling for me
Things look so bad everywhere
In this whole world, what is fair?
We walk blind and we try to see
Falling behind in what could be
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Where’s that higher love I keep thinking of?
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring be a higher love
I could rise above on a higher love
I will wait for it
I’m not too late for it
Until then, I’ll sing my song
To cheer the night along
Bring it...oh bring it...
I could light the night up with my soul on fire
I could make the sun shine from pure desire
Let me feel that love come over me
Let me feel how strong it could be
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Where’s that higher love I keep thinking of?

Higher Ground
Higher Ground
Composer(s): Steve Dorff
Performer(s): Barbra Streisand
Walk me over
this horizon
let the sun's light
warm my face
once again the times are changin'
once again I lost my way
well the words of ancient poets
fall like dust upon my shoes
greed has robbed me of my vision
turned my heart from higher truths
so take my hand
and lift me higher
be my love and my desire
hold me safe
and honor bound
take my heart to
higher ground
I have walked
too long in darkness
I have walked
too long alone
blindly clutching
fists of diamonds
that I found were only stones
I would trade the world of ages
for a warmer hand to hold
the path of light is narrow
but it leads to streets of gold
so take my hand
and lift me higher
be my love and my desire
hold me safe
and honor bound
take my heart to
higher ground
in this world
we move through shadows
never sure
of what we see
while the truth that lies between us
come and share the truth with me
so take my hand
and lift me higher
be my love and my desire
hold me safe
and honor bound
take my heart to
higher
higher ground
hmmmmm hmm hmmmm hmmmm
