Performer(s): Neil Sedaka
That's when the music takes me

Closer to a brighter daaaay
I can feel my soul explodin'
There's a good feelin'
Helpin' me to find my waaay

When the bluebird sings her sad, sad song
And the wind brings a cold to tag along
Oh, yeah

California
California
Composer(s): Cliff Friend - Con Conrad
California let me speak my mind
I've been waiting for a long long time
I've got a sneaky feeling I'll be stealing
To your bright and sunny clime
Is it any wonder that I'm glad
You're the only home I've ever had
Since I'm away both night and day
You're in this heart of mine
California when the days are blue
That's the time I always think of you
I miss the golden land of sunshine and the many happy friends I knew
Every moment how I long to be in your land of hospitality
"Your native son has only one place in his heart so true"
My California
Hear your lonesome boy calling
Honest I ain't a stalling
I want to come home just hear me crying
I'm really crying
Nighttime finds me just like a willow
Weeping there on my pillow
So lonesome and blue
Yes longing for you
Oh dear let the birdies sing
It's orange blossom time
I'll cheer 'cause I've got the ring
And I hear those wedding chimes
Just let me warn ya
Tell my sweetie in California
My love is growing
I'll soon be going California bound

Falco Rides Again
Falco Rides Again
Composer(s): Rob Bolland; Ferdi Bolland; Falco
Performer(s): Falco
This is the story of a lonely man
Who’s seen the world
From Japan to Afghanistan
Hey! ho!
Everybody thought that I was gone for good
But I’m back - understood
Hey! ho!
I’ve been through the snow and the storm
Felt the cold
No one to keep me warm
Agony and pain
Falco rides again - bang bang
I won’t break
I won’t bend
Falco rides again
It’s me and my gang
I came back just like a boomerang
I’ll fight ’till the end
Falco rides again
I’ve been up, I’ve been down
I’ve been pushed around
Beated, mistreated,
Gagged and bound
Hey! ho!
Not a soul in the world thought I would survive
Took every muscle in my body to stay alive
Hey! ho!
I’ll break down the walls
No more defeat
I want the taste of victory
Revenge is sweet
... rides again!

That's When My Woman Begins
That's When My Woman Begins
Composer(s): Jerry Gillespie
Performer(s): Tommy Overstreet
Little Bo Peep with a broom and a mop
A bulge in her cheek from a tootsie roll pop
Now who would believe that little girl is my wife
She looks like a child but she's already grown
With everyday problems and kids of her own
And she is the main foundation of my life
Oh, ain't she a picture of sunshine
Fresh as the breeze in the air
Right from her little girl dimples
To the ribbons of pink in her hair
But nighttime will find her a lady
And when that lady comes to me again
Well that's when my little girl pauses
And that's when my woman begins
She still throws a tantrum whenever she's mad
Cries at the movies whenever they're sad
And she pouts like a child when she doesn't get her way
But I wouldn't change anything for the world
I've spoiled her I know, but she's my little girl
And she makes everything alright at the end of the day
Now ain't she a picture of sunshine
Fresh as the breeze in the air
Right from her little girl dimples
To the ribbons of pink in her hair
But nighttime will find her a lady
And when that lady comes to me again
Well that's when my little girl pauses
And that's when my woman begins
Yeah ain't she a picture of sunshine
Fresh as the breeze in the air
Right from her little girl dimples
To the ribbons of pink in her hair
But nighttime will find her a lady
And when that lady comes to me again
Well that's when my little girl pauses
And that's when my woman begins

Calico Girlfriend
Calico Girlfriend
Composer(s): Michael Nesmith
Performer(s): Michael Nesmith
Me and my calico girlfriend
Starting a set of new rules
Watching the stars as they drop in
Making the nighttime a fool
Wandering over a roadway
Changing the signs of the times
Looking for love and a new day
Seeing with more than our eyes
Keeper of men and of shadow
Follow us up to the top
Taking the latch off the window
Giving us more than we dropped
Me and my Calico Girlfriend
Suddenly stare at the face
Of time and its hope that we'll win
Then softly drop out of the race
Keeper of men and of shadow
Follow us up to the top
Taking a latch off the window
Giving us more than we dropped
Me and my Calico Girlfriend
Suddenly stare at the face
Of time and its hope that we'll win
Then softly drop out of the race

Fakin' It
Fakin' It
Composer(s): Paul Simon
Performer(s): Simon & Garfunkel
When she goes, she's gone
If she stays, she stays here
The girl does what she wants to do
She knows what she wants to do
And I know I'm fakin' it
I'm not really makin' it
I'm such a dubious soul
And a walk in the garden
Wears me down
Tangled in the fallen vines
Pickin' up the punch lines
I've just been fakin' it
Not really makin' it
Is there any danger?
No, no, not really
Just lean on me
Takin' time to treat
Your friendly neighbors honestly
I've just been fakin' it
I'm not really makin' it
This feeling of fakin' it
I still haven't shaken it
Prior to this lifetime
I surely was a tailor
Look at me
("Good morning, Mr. Leitch
Have you had a busy day?")
I own the tailor's face and hands
I am the tailor's face and hands
I know I'm fakin' it
I'm not really makin' it
This feeling of fakin' it
I still haven't shaken it

You've shown me the joy love can truly bring, yes ya did now
And you made my, my sad life like the first day, like the
first day, woooooooooooh, the first day of Spring
Oo-oo-oo-ooh, now when the rays of the Sun are gone
No longer, it no longer gives us heat
And this ol' heart of mine, don't y'all know, that one day
it's gonna refuse to beat
And one last thing I've got to say
And if I wake, if I awake and find there's no more, no more
mornin' dew
Now doncha know that that's when, ooooooooooooo...

Cálice
Cálice
Composer(s): Chico Buarque - Gilberto Gil
Performer(s): Chico Buarque
and multiple other artists
Pai, afasta de mim esse cálice
Pai, afasta de mim esse cálice
Pai, afasta de mim esse cálice
De vinho tinto de sangue
Como beber dessa bebida amarga
Tragar a dor, engolir a labuta
Mesmo calada a boca, resta o peito
Silêncio na cidade não se escuta
De que me vale ser filho da santa
Melhor seria ser filho da outra
Outra realidade menos morta
Tanta mentira, tanta força bruta
Como é difícil acordar calado
Se na calada da noite eu me dano
Quero lançar um grito desumano
Que é uma maneira de ser escutado
Ese silêncio todo me atordoa
Atordoado eu permaneço atento
Na arquibancada pra a qualquer momento
Ver emergir o monstro da lagoa
De muito gorda a proca já não anda
De muito suada a faca já não corta
Como é difícilo, pai, abrir a porta
Essa palavra presa na garganta
Esse pileque homérico no mundo
De que adianta ter boa vontgade
Mesmo calado o peito, resta a cuca
Dos bêbados do centro da cidade
Talvez o mundo não seja pequeno
Nem seja a vida um fato consumado
Quero inventar o meu próprio pecado
Quero morrer do meu próprio veneno
Quero perder de vez tua cabeça
Minha cabeça perder teu juízo
Quero cheirar fumaça de óleo diesel
Me embriagar até que alguém me esqueça

Faits Divers
Faits Divers
Composer(s): Bernard Lavilliers
Performer(s): Bernard Lavilliers
Comment va le monde? Il est rouge sang
Et à mon avis, il l'est pour longtemps
Comment va la vie? Il y a des endroits
Elle vaut dix dollars combien je te dois
Comment va l'amour? Il joue les absents
Demande aux vautours de gagner du temps
Comment va le monde? Il est rouge sang
Et à mon avis, il l'est pour longtemps
Après bien des années d'errance
Et de silence embarrassé
Des hommes n'ont toujours pas de nationalité
Comment parler de non-violence
À un amour qu'on a violé?
La dignité n'est pas votre spécialité
Comment va la guerre? Elle va comme elle va
Elle est planétaire, on se reverra
Comment va la banque? La banque surnage
Pour les grands requins y a pas de naufrage
Comment va la mort? Record absolu
Toujours très discrète, je n'en sais pas plus
Comment va la guerre? Elle va comme elle va
Elle est planétaire, on se reverra
Elle est planétaire, on se reverra
Après bien des années d'errance
Et de silence embarrassé
Des hommes n'ont toujours pas de nationalité
Comment parler de non-violence
A un amour qu'on a violé?
La dignité n'est pas votre spécialité
Je ne veux plus gueuler: "Comment va le monde?"
Et qu'on me réponde: "Il va comme il va"
Comment va la vie? Elle n'est pas très fière
Sur ces cinq colonnes dans les faits divers
Comment va l'amour quand il vous a vu?
A fait demi-tour, on n'en parle plus
Je ne veux plus gueuler: "Comment va le monde? "
Et qu'on me réponde: "Il va comme il va"
Après bien des années d'errance
De populations déplacées
La solitude n'a pas de nationalité
Il faudrait casser ce silence
Vous l'avez mal interprété
La dignité n'est pas votre spécialité
Comment va le monde? Il est rouge sang
Et à mon avis, il l'est pour longtemps
Comment va l'amour? Il joue les absents
Demande aux vautours de gagner du temps
Comment va la vie? Elle n'est pas très fière
Sur ces cinq colonnes dans les faits divers

That's What You Mean To Me
That's What You Mean To Me
Composer(s): George Graff Jr. - George H. Gartlan
I know that you love me, you know I love you
But you wonder, if days to be
Will find us the same, let me answer, dear
Do you know what you mean to me?
Every rose has it's fragrance
The skies have the stars
And the night has the day to be
The day has the sunshine, but I have you
And you're all that and more to me
All that the sunshine means to the rose
And blossoms mean to the tree
All that the spring time to the earth
And rivers mean to the sea
All that their singing means to the birds
And honey means to the bee
All that a girl ever meant to a boy
That's what you mean to me

There comes a time for everybody
When true love will come your way

Caledonia
Caledonia
Composer(s): Bert Jansch
Performer(s): Bert Jansch
Last night as I lay sleeping, a dream it came to me
I thought I heard a piper play the sweetest melody
People gathered round a’ dancing and singing so merrily
They’re all singing and dancing, Caledonia ever free
Singing and dancing, Caledonia ever free
From the busy heart of Glasgow to Lochranza by the sea
O’er the water to Kintyre, the prettiest place you’ll ever see
To the pubs and bars of Oban, they’re all proud of their old country
They’re all singing and dancing, Caledonia ever free
Singing and dancing, Caledonia ever free
On the road to Drumnadrochit, there’s music everywhere
For the piper plays for Nessie a sweet and tender air
Through Glengarry’s running rivers, cascading to the sea
To the tranquillity of Ullapool, ah now that’s Scotland to me
Come wild and windy weather, Caledonia ever free
When the fiddle plays from Shetland, they heard the piper’s song
They came o’er the sea to join him, they danced and they sang along
From the granite city southward, on the road to bonny Dundee
They’re all singing and dancing, Caledonia ever free
Singing and dancing, Caledonia ever free
Now if you ever come to Scotland, ever come to visit my home
You can hear the piper playing, standing all alone
For he plays from Edinburgh Castle, that looks out to the sea
He’ll have you singing and dancing, Caledonia ever free
Singing and dancing, Caledonia ever free

Composer(s): Jonathan Cain
Performer(s): Journey;
and various other artists
Highway run
Into the midnight sun
Wheels go round and round
You're on my mind
Restless hearts
Sleep alone tonight
Sendin' all my love
Along the wire
They say that the road
Ain't no place to start a family
Right down the line it's been you and me
And lovin' a music man
Ain't always what it's supposed to be
Oh girl you stand by me
I'm forever yours-faithfully
Circus life
Under the big top world
We all need the clowns
To make us smile
Through space and time
Always another show
Wondering where I am
Lost without you
And being apart ain't easy on this love affair
Two strangers learn to fall in love again
I get the joy
Of rediscovering you
Oh girl you stand by me
I'm forever yours-faithfully
Oh, oh, oh, oh-
Faithfully, I'm still yours
I'm forever yours
Ever yours-faithfully

That's What The Red, White And Blue Means (To Ev'ry True Heart In The USA)
That's What The Red, White And Blue Means (To Ev'ry True Heart In The USA)
Composer(s): Robert Levenson - E.E. Bagley
Every stripe that's in the flag means something dear to me
For it's the emblem of our land and of democracy
And everytime I see Old Glory
Then I want to tell the story
Just as in the days of old the tale was told to me
Everyone that's in the land should keep in memry clear
Just what the meaning is of that old flag we love so dear
For every single word is thrilling
'Cause it shows we all are willing
when there comes a time for it to do our bit with cheer
Red is for the soldier boys
their muskets swining while they're sining songs of cheer
White is for mothers
while their hearts are pining smiles are shining through each tear
Blue is for the jackies on the ocean sailing
never failing once to win the day
That's what the Red and White and Blue means to every true heart in the U.S.A.
