The Sons Of Hercules
The Sons Of Hercules
The mighty Sons of Hercules
Once thundered through the years
These men of steel could never feel
The curse of a coward's fears
The Mighty Sons of Hercules
Were men as men should be
They burned with dreams
And turned their dreams into history
A hundred giants, brave and bold
They ruled the world in days of old
The Mighty Sons of Hercules
Were men as men should be
They took the world and shook the world
The Sons of Hercules
The Mighty Sons of Hercules
Once thundered through the years
These men of steel could never feel
The curse of a coward's fears
The Mighty Sons of Hercules
Were men as men should be
They burned with dreams
Then turned their dreams into history
They are there when the need arrives
There to show that might and right still survive!
On land or on the sea, as long as there is need
There'll be Sons of Hercules
There'll be Sons of Hercules!

Do You Care?
Do You Care?
Composer(s): Lew Quadling - John M. Elliot
Performer(s): Dorothy Carless
and multiple other artists
Do you care? Is there a chance for me?
Do you care? I wish I knew
Won't you try to confess
That you find happiness
In the tender caress
The way I do
Do you care that I am so in love
Please be fair, you know it’s true
And just supposing I should say
That I’ve a heart to share
Would it matter at all, do you care?
Do you care that I am so in love
Please be fair, you know it’s true
And just supposing I should say
That I’ve a heart to share
Would it matter at all, do you care?

Coke, Suede And Waterbeds
Coke, Suede And Waterbeds
Composer(s): Kraemer - MacNeil - Beard - Mayell
Performer(s): The Sopwith Camel
Coke, Suede and Waterbeds
They've all got bodies but they call them heads
And their friends in the legal trade
Got Oriental rugs and jade
Oh, Mama, please help them.
Now they've all got money down
House in the country, store in town
Baby looks fine in her platform shoes
Daddy's got a harp, trying to learn the blues
Oh, Mama, please need them
This scene is making me insane
Everybody seems the same
Secret pockets, poison rings
Everybody's hiding things
There's a girl with a tiger's claw
She says I'm made of ice but I love to thaw
Oh, Mama, please love her
Young cat, dressed in white
Feels un-bad cause he thinks he's light
Goes down town to the hot congo
Hopes to pass for a Chicano
Oh, Mama, please love him
No one here is to blame
Things have always been the same

Ride Ranke
Ride Ranke
Performer(s): Finn Kalvik
Mitt barn kom til verden på en klinikk
det var en liten gutt vi fikk
Men jeg reiser så mye og rakk ikke hjem, da han lærte å gå var jeg ute igjen
Og sist jeg kom hjem kunne han snakke med meg
Han sa far jeg vil bli som deg, far, jeg vil bli som deg
Aldri ride ranke og vuggesang
Aldri Mikkel Rev og bæ, bæ lille lam
Når kommer du hjem far, jeg vet ikke, men
Da skal vi få det fint igjen, sønn, da skal vi få det fint igjen
I forrige uke fylte han ti, han sa takk for ballen, kom så leker vi
Kan du lære meg å sparke, jeg sa ikke nå, jeg har for mye å gjøre og tenke på
Men han var like blid da han gikk sin vei
Han sa far jeg vil bli slik som deg, far, jeg vil bli som deg
Aldri ride ranke og vuggesang
Aldri Mikkel Rev og bæ, bæ lille lam
Når kommer du hjem far, jeg vet ikke, men
Da skal vi få det fint igjen, sønn, da skal vi få det fint igjen
Han kom fra forelesning i går kveld, jeg sa hvordan går det, sett deg ned og fortell
Jeg er så stolt av deg, kom og sett deg da, men han ristet på hodet, smilte og sa
Jeg skal en tur på kino og trenger en bil
Kan jeg låne din, far, vær så snill
Aldri ride ranke og vuggesang
Aldri Mikkel Rev og bæ, bæ lille lam
Når kommer du hjem far, jeg vet ikke, men
Da skal vi få det fint igjen, sønn, da skal vi få det fint igjen
Jeg er forlengst pensjonert og min sønn er gift
Ringte ham i går og sa hei takk for sist
Det er så sjelden jeg ser deg, kan vi treffes en dag
Dessverre far det er bare mas og jag
Jeg har for mye å gjøre i jobben min
Men det var fint å høre stemmen din, far
Og da han la på røret skjønte jeg
At han var blitt slik som meg
Min sønn var slik som meg
Aldri ride ranke og vuggesang
Aldri Mikkel Rev og bæ, bæ lille lam
Når kommer du hjem far, jeg vet ikke, men
Da skal vi få det fint igjen, sønn, da skal vi få det fint igjen

The Song's Gotta Come From The Heart
The Song's Gotta Come From The Heart
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra & Jimmy Durante
(Jimmy)
It's art that made the mould
It's the difference between the big and the small
It doesn't have to be witty or smart
Just as long as it comes from the heart
It doesn't have to be classic or rock
Just as long as it comes from the heart
Just put more heart into you voice
And you'll become the people's choice
Just make up your mind from the start
That the song's gotta come from the heart
Just make up your mind from the start
That the song's gotta come from the heart
Don't be afraid you'll make your grade
Why you can sing as good as Bing
That's why I say when you start
That the song's gotta come from the heart
(Frank)
It doesn't have to be witty or smart
Long as it comes from the heart
It doesn't have to be classic or rock
Long as it comes from the heart
I'll give 'em that
I'll give 'em this
I'll strut away
(Jimmy)
Boy! You can't miss!
(Frank)
Just put a star on my chart
(Jimmy)
they won't need this anymore!
(Frank)
Cause the song's gonna come from the heart
(Jimmy)
Don't work cheap!
(Both)
On opening nights, your name in lights
(Jimmy)
Why we won't stop, 'til you reach the top
(Both)
We'll order our meal a la carte
That's expensive!
If the song comes from the heart
(Frank)
We'll be tremendous!
(Both)
If the song comes from the heart
(Jimmy)
Can't call up Gable
(Both)
If the song comes from the heart!
H-e-a-r-t!

The Ship Song
The Ship Song
Composer(s): Nick Cave
First release by: Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - 1990
Covered by multiple other artists
Come sail your ships around me
And burn your bridges down
We make a little history, baby
Every time you come around
Come loose your dogs upon me
And let your hair hang down
You are a little mystery to me
Every time you come around
We talk about it all night long
We define our moral ground
But when I crawl into your arms
Everything comes tumbling down
Come sail your ships around me
And burn your bridges down
We make a little history, baby
Every time you come around
Your face has fallen sad now
For you know the time is nigh
When I must remove your wings
And you, you must try to fly
Come sail your ships around me
And burn your bridges down
We make a little history, baby
Every time you come around
Come loose your dogs upon me
And let your hair hang down
You are a little mystery to me
Every time you come around

Coisas Da Vida
Coisas Da Vida
Composer(s): Milton Nascimento
Performer(s): Milton Nascimento
nunca é igual
se for bem natural
se for de coração
além do bem e do mal
coisas da vida
o amor enfim
ficou senhor de mim
e eu fiquei assim
calado, sem latim
coisas da vida
coma foi que eu cheguei aqui
quem me diria que esse era meu fim
olho no teu olhar
a testa de estar
de bem com a vida
o luar girou
a sorte me pegou
tesouro
te encontrarei sem garimpar
no ouro da paixão
na febre da paixão
então em mim
ser o senhor e ser a presa
é um mistério, a maior beleza
amor é dom da natureza
amar é lago que não escravisa
nunca é igual
se for bem natural
se for de coração
além do bem e do mal
coisas da vida ...

The Shining
The Shining
Composer(s): Tony Iommi
Performer(s): Black Sabbath
There's a man who sees all there is to see
What the future holds for all
As the days grow dark with the grim and final warning
Beware of the ones with invisible friends
They will steal into your mind
And all too soon the signs begin to show
Rise up to the shining
Live long live now
Rise up to the shining
Don't be blind by fools again
Fools again
As the pages turn and the story's told
From the visions he's seen
The house on the hill
With the haunted eyes that call
Noone laughed as madness came out
To play it's game
If you stay too long you'll finally go insane
Rise up to the shining
Live long live now
Rise up to the shining
Don't be blind by fools again
Fools again
Bells will take their toll
On your way
There's no way we're born to shine
Before our time, all your life
You're on your own
Lonely road
Lost in a time
Let the light lead your way
To the golden throne
It's the only way
Rise up to the shining
Live long live now
Rise up to the shining
Don't be blind by fools again
Rise up to the shining
Live long live now
Rise up the shining
Don't be blind by fools again
Oh rise up, to the shining
Wise up they're gonna steal your mind
Rise up, the house is gonna haunt you
No one laughed, no one cried
You stayed too long
You're finally gonna stay

Ride My See-Saw
Ride My See-Saw
Composer(s): John Lodge
Performer(s): The Moody Blues; Bongwater
Ride, ride my see-saw
Take this place on this trip just for me
Ride, take a free ride
Take my place, have my seat, it's for free
I worked like a slave for years
Sweat so hard just to end my fears
Not to end my life a poor man
But by now, I know I should have run
Run, run my last race
Take my place, have this number of mine
Run, run like a fire
But don't you run in, in the lanes, run for time
Left school with a first-class pass
Started work but as second class
School taught one and one is two
But by now, that answer just ain't true
My world is spinning around
Everything is lost that I found
People run, come ride with me
Let's find another place that's free
Ride, ride my see-saw
Take this place on this trip just for me
Ride, take a free ride
Take my place, have my seat, it's for free
Ride my see-saw
Ride, ride, ride my see-saw
Ride my see-saw
Ride my see-saw

E que só me interessa você
Assim, você e eu vamos sentir
Como é melhor amar
Sem pensar em nos separar
Então, verá que vou lhe dar
O que eu tiver de bom em mim
Só porque adoro você

The Song Is You
Composer(s): Jerome Kern - Oscar Hammerstein
First performance by: Tullio Carminati - 1932
Covered by multiple other artists
I hear music when I look at you
A beautiful theme of ev'ry dream I ever knew
Down deep in my heart, I hear it play
I feel it start then melt away
I hear music when I touch your hand
A beautiful melody from some enchanted land
Down deep in my heart, I hear it say
Is this the day?
I alone have heard this lovely strain
I alone have heard this glad refrain
Must it be forever in side of me
Why can't I let it go?
Why can't I let you know?
Why can't I let you know the song my heart would sing?
That beautiful rhapsody of love and youth and spring
The music is sweet the words are true
The song is you

The Shifting Whispering Sands
The Shifting Whispering Sands
Composer(s): Jack Gilbert - Mary Hadler
Performer(s): Johnny Cash
and multiple other artists
I discovered the valley of the shifting, whispering sands
While prospecting for gold in one of our western States
I saw the silent windmills, the crumbling water tanks
The bones of cattle and burros, picked clean by buzzards
Bleached by the desert suns
I stumbled over a crumbling buckboard nearly covered by the sands
And stopping to rest, I heard a tinkling, whispering sound
Then suddenly realized that even though the wind was quiet
The sand did not lie still
I seemed to be surround by a mystery
So heavy and oppressive I could scarcely breath
For days and weeks I wandered aimlessly in this valley
Seeking answers to the many questions
That raced through my fevered mind
Where was everyone
Why the white bones
The dry wells
The barren valley where people must have lived and died
Finally I could go no farther
My food and water gone
I sat down and buried my face in my hands
And resting thus, I learned the secret
Of the Shifting, whispering sands
How I managed to escape from the valley I do not know
But now to pay my final debt for being spared
I must tell you what I learned out on the desert
So many years ago
When the day is awfully quiet
And the breeze seems not to blow
One would think the sand was resting
But you'll find this is not so
It is whispering, softly whispering
As it slowly moves along
And for those who stop and listen
It will sing this mournful song
Of sidewinders and the horn toads
Of the thorny chaparral
Endless sunny days and moonlit nights
The coyotes lonely yell
Of the stars seem you could tough them
As you lay and gaze on high
At the heavens where we're hoping
We'll be going when we die
Yes it always whispers to me
Of the days of long ago
When the settlers and the miners
Fought the crafty Navajo
How the cattle roamed the valley
Happy people worked the land
And now everything is covered
By the shifting, whispering sands
How the miner left his buckboards
Went to work his claims that day
And the burro's broke their halters
When they thought he'd gone to stay
Wandered far in search of water
On to old sidewinder's well
And there, their bones picked clean by buzzards
That were circling when they fell
How they found the ancient miner
Lying dead upon the sand
After months they could but wonder
If he died by human hand
So they dug his grave and laid him
On his back and crossed his hands
And his secret still is hidden
By the shifting, whispering sands
This is what they whispered to me
On the quiet desert air
Of the people and the cattle
And the miner lying there
If you want to learn their secret
Wander through this quiet land
And I'm sure you'll hear the story
Of the shifting, whispering sands
Shifting, whispering sands

Coffee, Coffee, Coffee
Coffee, Coffee, Coffee
Composer(s): Tom T. Hall
Performer(s): Dave Dudley; S.W.A.T.
Some men drink alcohol
Some men drink juices from the vine
But as for me, I'm very simple
Give me coffee ev'ry time
Make it warm and make it sweet
Just the way my life has been
Give me coffee, coffee, coffee, coffee, coffee
And let me tell you, you have found yourself a friend
Cinncinnatti, early in the mornin'
Aah, waitin' on an old Greyhound
For Macon, Georgia right around noon time
Ah, bring that coffee pot around
Make it hot and make it now
A little cream and sugar use
Give me coffee, coffee, coffee, coffee, coffee
And you have absolutely found yourself a friend
A cup of china, a silver spoon
Cream out of a golden can
See that pot, aah, it's percolatin'
And it's just like music from a band
These old bones, they're tired and weary
But, man, you go percol up again
Give me coffee, coffee, coffee, coffee, coffee
I guarantee that you have have found yourself a friend
Yessir, you have found yourself a friend
I guarantee that you have have found yourself a friend
Ooohhh, you got yourself ...

Looking for another place
Somewhere else to be
Looking for another chance
To ride into the sun
Ride into the sun
Ride into the sun
Ride into the sun
Ride into the sun
Where everything seems so pretty
When you’re lonely and tired of the city
Remember it’s a flower made out of clay
To the city
Where everything seems so ugly
When your sitting at home in self pitty
Remember you’re just one more person
Who’s living there
It’s hard to live in the city
It’s hard to live in the city
It’s hard to live in the city

The Song Is Familiar
The Song Is Familiar
Composer(s): Bernie Worrell - Bootsy Collins - George Clinton - William Collins
Performer(s): Funkadelic
There is a song that I sing whenever I'm sad, feeling bad
There is a place in my head that I go when I'm feeling low
I can trust in the melody, in this song I can find me
Ever since I lost you, I've been so lost too
In our love there is harmony, and I want to see this love through with you
There is a song you can sing
When the love you had is love gone bad
There is a place you can go
There's a quiet place...all you gotta do is space
There is a song that I sing whenever I'm sad, feeling bad
There is a place in my head that I go, when I'm feeling low
To my song I can relate and I don't got to syncopate
Every word is in time, on time, at all times
In our love there is harmony, and I want to see this love through with you
There is a song you can sing whenever you're sad, feeling bad
There is a quiet place, you can go, when you're feeling low
There is a song you can sing
When the love you had is love gone bad
There is a place you can go
There's a quiet place...all you gotta do is space
There is a song that I sing whenever I'm sad, feeling bad
There is a place in my head that I go, when I'm feeling low
{repeat}...
