(You Got To Walk And) Don't Look Back

(You Got To Walk And) Don't Look Back
Composer(s): Smokey Robinson; Ronald White
Performer(s): Peter Tosh & Mick Jagger

If it's love that you're running from
There is no hiding place
(You can't run, you can't hide, you can't run)
Just your problems no one elses problems
You just have to face
(You can't run, you can't hide, you can't run)

So if you just put your hand in mine
We're gonna leave all our troubles behind
We gonna walk
And don't look back (Don't look back)
We gonna walk
And don't look back (Don't look back)

Now if your first lover let you down
There's something that can be done
(You can't run, you can't hide, you can't run)
Don't heal your faith in love
Remembering what's become

So if you just put your hand in mine
We're gonna leave all our troubles behind
We gonna walk
And don't look back (Don't look back)
We gonna walk
And don't look back (Don't look back)

Instrumental

Places behind you
There to remind you

If your first lover broke your heart
Something can be done
(You can't run, you can't hide, you can't run)
Don't heal your faith in love
Remembering whats been lost
(You can't run, you can't hide, you can't run)

So if you just put your hand in mine
We're gonna leave all our troubles behind
We gonna walk
And don't look back (Don't look back)
We gonna walk
And don't look back (Don't look back)

Mick Jagger and Peter Tosh hold this conversation
while background singers continue singing back-up

(P.T.) How far you been walking man?
(M.J.) About a hundred miles
(P.T.) You still got some more to walk man
(M.J.) I know, don't remind me about it
(P.T.) I'm getting tired, but I still got to keep on walking
(M.J.) I'm walking barefoot
(P.T.) You know, keep on walking
(M.J.) You got to walk and don't look back
(P.T.) Keep on a walking
You got to walk and don't look back
Keep on a walking
You got to walk and don't look back

Always
Composer(s): Robert Uhlmann - Arash Labaf - Alex Papakonstantinou
Marcus Englöf - Johan Bejerholm - Anderz Wrethov - Elin Wrethov
First performance by: AySel & Arash - 2009

Always on my mind, always in my heart

I've been waiting for you night after night
Like a shadow, staying close to the light
Suddenly you stand beside me
And I see a million burning stars

You are always on my mind, always in my heart
And I can hear you call my name on a mountain high
Always on my mind, always in my dreams
I wanna hold you close to me, always, all the time

I believe I'm addicted to you
In your eyes I see dreams comin' true
Finally I have found you
And now I will never let you go, no

You are always on my mind, always in my heart
And I can hear you call my name on a mountain high
Always on my mind, always in my dreams
I wanna hold you close to me, always, all the time

Always on my mind, always in my heart
And I can hear you call my name on a mountain high
Always on my mind, always in my dreams
I wanna hold you close to me, always, all the time

Always on my mind, always in my heart
Always on my mind, always in my dreams
Always, all the time

(You Dyed Your Hair) Chartreuse

(You Dyed Your Hair) Chartreuse
Composer(s):
J. Leslie McFarland; Billy Moore Jr.
Performer(s): Louis Jordan; Chris Daniels

You're a freckled gal
You're a pug-nosed cutey
sweet as Charlotte Russe
You've got big blue eyes
So I ask you why have you dyed your hair chartreuse?

Chartreuse (chartreuse)
Chartreuse (chartreuse)
Though you think it's mighty cute
Just wait 'til I write and tell your ma
That you dyed your hair chartreuse
(repeat)

In the days of old
When the knights were bolder and the girls were truer blue
Just think what paw
Would have said to maw had she dyed her hair chartreuse
Chartreuse (chartreuse)
Chartreuse (chartreuse)
Though you think it's mighty cute
You went too far in that beauty booth
When you dyed your hair chartreuse

Now you know I know
That your hair was black when we lived on Chestnut Street
When you wore pigtails
And ginger ale was your most favourite treat
You're a big girl now
So you think it's cuter being fast and fancy-loose
But you went too far in that beauty booth
When you dyed your hair chartreuse

Chartreuse (chartreuse)
Chartreuse (chartreuse)
Though you think it's mighty cute
Just wait 'til I write and tell your ma
That you dyed your hair chartreuse
Chartreuse (chartreuse)
Chartreuse (chartreuse)
Though you think it's mighty cute
But just wait 'til I write and tell your ma
You didn't like black, you didn't like red
You hated blondes, well, it's no use
You got mad and dyed your hair...
Chartreuse

Girl you are to me, all that a woman should be

(You Don't Have To) Paint Me A Picture

(You Don't Have To) Paint Me A Picture
Composer(s): Marilyn Garrett;
Bobby Russell; Roger Tillison
Performer(s): Gary Lewis & The Playboys

You don't have to paint me a picture
The handwritin's on the wall
It's very plain to see that you don't love me
No, you never loved me at all
You went out with other fellas
You think that I don't know
Well, you don't have to paint a rose on me
'Cause I knew it long ago
I have tried to make excuses for the things you do
I've tried to be fair in every way
It's no use pretendin' that you haven't been untrue
It's over now, so I'll be on my way
I don't need a fortuneteller
I don't need a crystal ball
It's very plain to see that you don't love me
No, you never loved me at all
I have tried to make excuses for the things you do
I've tried to be fair in every way
It's no use pretendin' that you haven't been untrue
It's over now, so I'll be on my way, hey hey
I don't need a fortuneteller
I don't need a crystal ball
It's very plain to see that you don't love me
No, you never loved me at all

(repeat and fade):

You don't have to paint me a picture
The handwritin's on the wall
It's very plain to see that you don't love me
No, you never loved me at all

Always (Air Supply)

Always
Composer(s): Guy Allison - Graham Russell - Michael Sherwood
Performer(s): Air Supply

I can see hills touch the sky
Heaven and earth, you and I
Know we will always be
Here in the silence we lie
Shadows we cast, you and I
Speak for eternity

Pressed between pages
Flowers will die
Stories may end as time passes by
You and I will always be

With every word that I hear
Whenever whispers are near
I can believe in fate
Promises made, only one
Yesterday fades from the sun
And falls to a new embrace

Tears overflow as rivers run dry
Here in a moment, time passes by
You and I will always be, for always

Pressed between pages, flowers will die
Stories may end as time passes by
You and I will always be, will always be

(You Bring Out) The Wild Side Of Me

(You Bring Out) The Wild Side Of Me
Composer(s): Dan Seals
Performer(s): Dan Seals

Our friends all think I am a gentle man
By the clothes that I wear, the things I say
But when I hold you in my arms
There's a feeling you set free
You bring out the wild side of me

I thought I knew what love was all about
And I made all the moves so carefully
When I'm with you, I do some things
I never thought I'd do or see
'Cause you bring out the wild side of me

Chorus

No one's there to notice
When the change comes over me
When I kiss your sweet lips
And hold you tenderly
No one sees the stranger
That this simple man can be
When you bring out the wild side of me

You always seem to know what's on my mind
And you're everything I'll ever need
And when that love light's in your eyes
There's no place I'd rather be
'Cause you bring out the wild side of me

Chorus

No one's there to notice
When the change comes over me
When I kiss your sweet lips
And hold you tenderly
No one sees the stranger
That this simple man can be
When you bring out the wild side of me

Honolulu Baby

Honolulu Baby
Composer(s): T. Marvin Hatley
Performer(s): Laurel & Hardy

While down on a South Sea island
Underneath the beauty of the stars
I strayed upon some maidens
Who were strumming on their guitars
A hula maid was dancing
And she knew I'd found my paradise
So this is what I told her
As I gazed into her eyes...

Honolulu baby, where'd you get those eyes
And that dark complexion, I just idolize
Honolulu baby, where'd you get that style
And the pretty red lips, and that sunny smile
When you start to dance, your hula hips entrance
When you shake it up and down
You shake a little here, you shake a little there
Well you got the boys going to town
Honolulu baby, sure know your stuff
Honolulu baby, gonna call your bluff

This Is Our Night

This Is Our Night
Composer(s): Dimitris Kontopoulos - Craig Porteils - Cameron Giles-Webb
First performance by: Sakis Rouvas - 2009

Take a chance, and take a hold
Give it all and turn it to gold
Time has come, so make a stand
On your own and take command

Beat the odds, you will survive
Stronger now, you feel alive
Rising up, get into place
Feel it in your heart when you are winning this race

When I look into your eyes
It comes as no surprise

This is our night, fly to the top, baby
Yes, we can do it, just wait and see
This is our night, time for a change, baby
Get rid of the old, take a hold and be free

This is our night, fly to the top, baby
Yes, we can do it, just wait and see
This is our night, time for a change, baby
Get rid of the old, take a hold and be free
This is our night

Counting down, the night of nights
Getting now to stand and fight
Don't back down, just look within
Do it now, I know you will

When I look into your eyes
It comes as no surprise

This is our night, fly to the top, baby
Yes, we can do it, just wait and see
This is our night, time for a change, baby
Get rid of the old, take a hold and be free
This is our night

This is our night, fly to the top, baby
Yes, we can do it, just wait and see
This is our night, time for a change, baby
Get rid of the old, take a hold and be free

This is our night, fly to the top, baby
Yes, we can do it, just wait and see
This is our night, time for a change, baby
Get rid of the old, take a hold and be free
This is our night

Honky-Tonk Man

Honky-Tonk Man
Composer(s): Tillman Franks; Howard Hausey; Johnny Horton
Performer(s): Johnny Horton

Chorus:
Well I'm a honky tonk man and I can't seem to stop
I love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old juke box
But when my money's all gone, I'm on the telephone singing
Hey, hey, mama can your daddy come home

Now I'm living wild and dangerously
But I've got plenty of company
When the moon comes up and the sun goes down
I can't wait to see the lights of town

Chorus:
'Cause I'm a honky tonk man and I can't seem to stop
I love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old juke box
But when my money's all gone, I'm on the telephone singing
Hey, hey, mama can your daddy come home

A pretty little girl and a jug of wine
Well that's what it takes to make a honky tonk time
With the juke box moaning those honky tonk sounds
I can't wait to lay my money down

Chorus:
'Cause I'm a honky tonk man and I can't seem to stop
I love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old juke box
But when my money's all gone, I'm on the telephone singing
Hey, hey, mama can your daddy come home

Is It True?

Is It True?
Composer(s): Óskar Páll Sveinsson - Tinatin - Chris Neil
First performance by: Yohanna - 2009

You say you really know me
You're not afraid to show me
What is in your eyes
So tell me 'bout the rumours
Are they only rumours?
Are they only lies?

Falling out of a perfect dream
Coming out of the blue

Is it true? (Is it true?)
Is it over?
Did I throw it away?
Was it you? (Was it you?)
Did you tell me
You would never leave me this way?

If you really knew me
You couldn't do this to me
You would be my friend
If one of us is lying
There's no use in trying
No need to pretend

Falling out of a perfect dream
Coming out of the blue

Is it true? (Is it true?)
Is it over?
Did I throw it away?
Was it you? (Was it you?)
Did you tell me
You would never leave me this way?

Is it true? (Is it true?)
Is it over?
Did I throw it away?
Was it you? (Was it you?)
Did you tell me
You would never leave me this way?

(Is it real?)
(Did I dream it?)
Will I wake from this pain?
Is it true? (Is it true?)
Is it over?
Baby, did I throw it away?
Ooh... is it true?

Honky Tonk Merry Go Round
Composer(s): Stan Gardner; Frank Simon
Performer(s): Patsy Cline

I'm on a honky tonk merry-go-round
Makin' every spot in town
Startin' out early, comin' home late
Ever night with a brand-new date!
I'm on a honky tonk merry-go-round
Actin' like a foolish clown
Still racin' those blues that you left with me
Wonderin' if I'll ever be free
Round and around and around I go
Ridin' high and feelin' low
Round and around just like a top
Well, I'm a-gettin' dizzy, but I can't stop!
I'm on a honky tonk merry-go-round
Actin' like a foolish clown
Still racin' those blues that you left with me
Wonderin' if I'll ever be free
Round and around and around I go
Ridin' high and feelin' low
Round and around just like a top
Well, I'm a-gettin' dizzy, but I can't stop!
I'm on a honky tonk merry-go-round
Actin' like a foolish clown

Stone Cold

Stone Cold
Composer(s): Ritchie Blackmore - Roger Glover - Joe Lynn Turner
Performer(s): Rainbow

Every night I have the same old dream 'bout you and me and what's in between
So many changes so many lies
Try to run try to hide from everything that I feel inside
But I can't escape you or your frozen eyes

Searching in the darkness
Fading out of sight
Love was here and gone like a thief in the night

Stone cold and I thought I knew you so well
Stone cold can't break away from your spell
Another dark and empty night if I was wrong I wanna make it right
But you are so distant so far away
Your words like ice fall on the ground breaking the silence without a sound
Oh familiar strangers with nothing to say

Searching in the darkness
Fading out of sight
Love was here and gone like a thief in the night

Stone cold and I thought I knew you so well
Stone cold I can't break away from your spell
You leave me stone cold
Searching in the darkness
Fading out of sight
Love was here and gone like a thief in the night

Stone cold and I thought I knew you so well
You're stone cold yeah I can't break away from your spell
Stone cold baby I thought I knew you so well
You're stone cold ... ice cold ... can't break away from your spell
You put me in the deep freeze [stone cold]
Oh baby don't you leave me [I thought I knew you so well]
Stone stone cold your leavin' me cold [can't break away from your spell]
Stone cold I thought I knew you so well
Stone cold can't break away from your spell
Stone cold I thought I knew you so well
Stone cold can't break away from your spell

Performer(s): Waylon Jennings;
and various other artists

Low down leaving sun
I've done did everything that needs done
Woe is me, why can't I see
I best be leaving well enough alone
Them neon light nights, couldn't stay out of fights
They keep a-haunting me in memories
Well there's one in every crowd, for crying out loud
Why was it always turning out be me

Where does it go, the good Lord only knows
Seems like it was just the other day
I was down at Green Gables, hawking them tables
And generally blowing all my hard earned pay
Piano roll blues, danced holes in my shoes
There weren't another other way to be
For loveable losers, no account boozers
And honky tonk heroes like me

Yeah, yeah

(Repeat Chorus)
Where does it go, the good Lord only knows
Seems like it was just the other day
I was down at Green Gables, hawking them tables
And generally blowing all my hard earned pay
Piano roll blues, danced holes in my shoes
There weren't another other way to be
For loveable losers, no account boozers
And honky tonk heroes like me

Se sou tinta tu és tela
Se sou chuva és aguarela
Se sou sal és branca areia
Se sou mar és maré-cheia

Se sou estrela és de encantar
Se sou noite és luz para ela

Numa carta aberta ao mundo
Sou o espelho d’emoção
Do teu olhar
Profundo
Sou um todo
Num instante
Corpo dado
Em jeito amante
Sou o tempo que não passa
Quando a saudade
Me abraça

Beija o mar o vento e a lua
Sou um sol
Em neve nua em todas as ruas
Do amor
Serás meu e eu serei tua

Se sou tinta tu és tela
Se sou chuva És aguarela
Se sou sal És branca areia
Se sou mar és maré cheia
Se sou céu és nuvem nele
Se sou estrela és de encantar
Se sou noite és luz para ela
Se sou dia és o luar

Beija o mar o vento e a lua
Sou um sol em neve nua

Honky Tonk Gal
Composer(s): Carl Perkins
Performer(s): The Million Dollar Quartet;
and various other artists

It took a light from a honky-tonk
Put the beam in your eye
It took a record from a jukebox
And it bid my gal goodbye
And now she's gone, honky-tonk gal

Oh, she said she didn't love me
She didn't care no more
She'd rather spend her life now
On a honky-tonk hardwood floor
But I'll be gone, honky-tonk gal

Someday you'll come back cryin'
Someday you will be blue
And that mean ol' honky-tonkin' life
Will get the best off you
But I'll be gone, honky-tonk gal

Lord, I stand right up and tell you
I sit right down and cry
Sweetheart if you should leave me now
I know I'll lay and die
And I'll be gone, honky-tonk gal

It took a light from a honky-tonk
Put the beam in your eye
It took a record from a jukebox
And it bid my gal goodbye
And now she's gone, honky-tonk gal

La, da, dee, la, da, do, La, da, dee, la, da, do
La, da, dee, la, da, do, La, da, dee, la, da, do
You'd rather spend your life
On a honky-tonk hardwood floor
But I'll be gone, honky-tonk gal

Stone

Stone
Composer(s): Ronnie Lane
Performer(s): Small Faces

Once I was a stone many years ago
Into a pool was thrown many years ago
Time passed by, the pool ran dry, excavated was I
And tempered and beat in a fiery heat
By the hand of a man, who's name was Dan
Dan the blacksmith

Once I was a sword, many years ago
And my blade was broad, many years ago
Worn with pride, into battle I'd ride at a warrior's side
And I cut and I killed and was lost in a field
And I soon did rust, corrode to dust
Oh my

Once I was a daisy, many years ago
In pastures green and lazy, many years ago
But I was et by a goat who fell in a moat and forgetting to float
He sunk like a lead and stayed until dead
But was relieved to find just how kind it all was

Once I was a grub, many years ago
I lived in muck and mud, many years ago
But on the very first noon I became a cocoon that resembled a prune
When the Good Lord was done in the warmth of the sun
I shed my skins, and dried my wings, and I flew away

Once I was a bullfrog, had to struggle for survival
And once I was a carp and lived in waters ornamental
And once I was a myna bird, quoting verses from the Bible
Said "pretty boy, pretty boy, St. Luke"

Once I was a mule, a many years ago
But my master treat me cruel, a many years ago
By and by I was sick, couldn't move to his kick, so he took out a stick
And hit it right 'cross my back to an almighty crack
And to his dismay, I passed away, into the blue

I was born a human baby, many years ago
I was born unto a lady, many years ago
All our hopes they were piled on the back of a child that turned out to be wild
Sent the devil a prayer and caused the parson to swear
So I took my leave to lie and thieve my way to jail

I've been tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor
I've known good times and disaster
But now I've found a teacher, and the teacher has a master
The master is perfection, so he'll help us get there faster
I don't need no proof, because that's the truth, and I'll drink to that
