Hard To Handle


Hard To Handle
Composer(s): Otis Redding; Allen Jones; Alvertis Isbell
Performer(s): Otis Redding; and various other artists



Hey there, here I am
I'm the man on the scene
I can give you what you want
But you got to come home with me

I forgot some good old lovin'
And I got some more in store
When I get to thrown it on you
You got to come back for more

Toys and things that come by the dozen
That ain't nothin' but drug store lovin'
Hey little thing, let me light your candle
'Cause mama I'm sure hard to handle, now, gets around

Action speaks louder than words
And I'm a man of great experience
I know you got another man
But I can love you better than him

Take my hand, don't be afraid
I'm gonna prove every word I say
I'm advertisin' love for free
So, you can place your ad with me

Once it come along a dime by the dozen
That ain't nothin' but ten cent lovin'
Hey little thing, let me light your candle
'Cause mama I'm sure hard to handle, now, gets around

Yeah, hard to handle, now
Oh, baby

Baby, here I am
The man on your scene
I can give you what you want
But you got to come home with me

I forgot some good old lovin'
And I got some more in store
When I get to thrown it on you
You got to come runnin' back for more

Once it come along a dime by the dozen
That ain't nothin' but drug store lovin'
Hey little thing, let me light your candle
'Cause mama I'm sure hard to handle, now, gets around

Hard, hard to handle, now
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah

Once it come along a dime by the dozen
That ain't nothin' but ten cent lovin'
Hey little babe, let me light your candle
'Cause mama I'm sure hard to handle, now, gets around

Yeah, so hard to handle, now
Oh yeah
Baby, good lovin'
Baby, baby, owww, good lovin'
I need good lovin'
I got to have, oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah
So hard to handle, now, yeah
Um-um-um

Spacer


Spacer
Composer(s): Bernard Edwards - Nile Rodgers
First release by: Sheila and B. Devotion - 1979



He's a spacer, a star chaser
A spacer

He's a ladies man
Always greets with a kiss on the hand
He protects us all
At the ready to answer a call
In his own special way he is gentle and kind
Oppression he hates
Love in his eyes
My heart skips a beat when I'm by his side

He's a spacer, a star chaser
A spacer
He's a spacer, a star chaser
A spacer

In our galaxy
You can't trust ev'ryone that you meet
I'm so lucky
He's the only one I'll ever need
He will blast off tonight
He puts his life on the line ev'rytime he's in flight
A man you can't trace
But our love will last beyond time and space

He's a spacer, a star chaser
A spacer

He's a spacer, a star chaser
A spacer
He's a spacer, a star chaser
A spacer

Heart On The Street


Heart On The Street
Composer(s): Tom Gray
Performer(s): Manfred Mann's Earth Band



I lay dreamin'
Electronic healer
Plugged in the groove
Not a thought in my head
Oh, you shook me away girl
Remember words that you said
Have a taste of another kind of fruit boy
Why not make all your dreams come all real
It's easy just keep your eyes open
Put your shoulder to the wheel
It's not my feet
It's just a heart on the street

Blue, Black and White
Can't we get anything right
What's the matter with you
What's the matter with me
It's just my heart on the street

I know, I know I'm just a John to your TV
I know, I know I'm just a radio Joe
But, pull me out the socket
And away we go
It's not my feet
It's just a heart on the street

Blue, Black and White
Can't we get anything right
What's the matter with you
What's the matter with me
It's just my heart on the street

Blue, Black and White
Can't we get anything right
What's the matter with you
What's the matter with me
It's just my heart on the street

Blue, Black and White
Can't we get anything right
What's the matter with you
What's the matter with me
It's just my heart on the street

Hard To Get


Hard To Get
Composer(s): Jack Segal
Performer(s): Gisele MacKenzie



When they were hard to get
You wanted my kisses
When first we met
How you wanted my kisses
They were hard to get
Till I was sure your love was true
Then I gave you all my heart
And all my kisses too

I wish that I'd been smart
And never adored you
You broke my heart
Easy kisses just bored you
But the day will come
When you will find to your regret
A love as true as mine
Is hard to get

I wish that I'd been smart
And never adored you
You broke my heart
Easy kisses just bored you
But the day will come
When you will find to your regret
A love as true as mine
Is hard to get

Spaceman


Spaceman
Composer(s): Harry Nilsson
First release by: Harry Nilsson - 1972



Bang, bang, shoot em' up, destiny
Bang, bang, shoot em' up to the moon
Bang, bang, shoot em' up one, two, three
(One, two, three, four!)

I wanted to be a spaceman
That's what I wanted to be
But now that I am a spaceman
Nobody cares about me

Hey mother earth
Won't 'cha bring me back down
Safely to the sea
But 'round and around and around and around
Is all she ever say to me

I wanted to make a good run
I wanted to go to the moon
I knew that it had to be fun
I told 'em to send me real soon
I wanted to be a spaceman
I wanted to be it so bad
But now that I am a spaceman
I'd rather be back on the pad

Hey mother earth
Won't 'cha bring me back down
Safely to the sea
But 'round and around and around and around
Is just a lot of lunacy
(Yeah!)
'Round and around and around and around and around
(So bring me back down)
'Round and around and around and around and around
Safe on the ground

Hey mother earth
Won't 'cha bring me back down
Safely to the sea
But 'round and around and around and around
Is all she ever say to me, yeah

You know I wanted to be a spaceman
That's what I wanted to be
But now that I am a spaceman
Nobody cares about me

Say, hey! You mother earth
You better bring me back down
I've taken just as much as I can
But around and around and around and around
Is the problem of a spaceman

(Ah's!)

Heart Of The Sunrise


Heart Of The Sunrise
Composer(s): Jon Anderson; Bill Bruford; Chris Squire
Performer(s): Yes;
and various other artists



Love comes to you and you follow
Lose one on to the Heart of the Sunrise
Sharp-Distance
How can the wind with its arms all around me

Lost on a wave and then after
Dream on on to the Heart of the Sunrise
Sharp-Distance
How can the wind with so many around me
Lost in the city

Lost in their eyes as you hurry by
Counting their broken ties they decide
Love comes to you and then after
Dream on on to the Heart of the Sunrise
Lost on a wave but you're dreaming
Dream on on to the Heart of the Sunrise
Sharp-Distance
How can the wind with its arms all around me
Sharp-Distance
How can the wind with so many around me
I feel lost in the city

Lost in their eyes as you hurry by
Counting their broken ties they decided

Straight light moving and removing
Sharpness of the colour sun shine
Straight light searching all the meanings of the song
Long last treatment of the telling that
Relates to all the words sung
Dreamer easy in the chair that really fits you

Love comes to you and then after
Dream on on to the Heart of the Sunrise
Sharp-Distance
How can the sun with its arms all around me
Sharp-Distance
How can the wind with so many around me
I feel lost in the city

Hard Times Are Over


Hard Times Are Over
Composer(s): Yoko Ono
Performer(s): John Lennon; Yoko Ono



It's been very hard
But it's getting easier now
Hard times are over, over for a while

The leaves are shining in the sun
And smiling inside
You and I watching each other on a street corner
Cars and buses and planes and people go by

But we don't care
We want to know
We want to know in each other's eyes
That hard times are over, over for sometime

Hard times are over
Hard times are over
Hard times are over, over for a while

It's been very rough
But it's getting easier now
Hard times are over, over for a while

The streams are twinkling in the sun
And I'm smiling inside
You and I walking together 'round the street corner

Hard times are over
Hard times are over
Hard times are over, over for a while

Colgado De Un Sueño


Colgado De Un Sueño
First performance by: Serafín Zubiri - 2000



Colgado de un sueño
en lo alto del cielo intento vivir
el mundo a lo lejos
parece pequeño visto desde aqui
Que no inporta lo que digan de mi
Que no tengo los pies en el suelo
Colgado de un sueño
Consigo vivir
Aqui no hay limites a mis deseos
Nada me pueden prohibir
Navego libre por mis pensamientos
¡Que no me bajen de aqui!
Aqui hay espacio para mis anhelos
Todo se puede cumplir
Que no me obliguen a pisar el suelo
Que sólo quiero seguir
Colgado De Un Sueño

Flotando en el aire
Sin miedo a caer
Que el mundo es pequeño
Que todas mis ansias no caben en el
Que no me importa lo que digan de mi
Que no tengo los pies en el suelo

Colgado de un sueño
Colgado de un sueño

Hard Times


Hard Times
Composer(s): Ray Charles
Performer(s): Eric Clapton;
and various other artists



My mother told me
'Fore she passed away
Said son when I'm gone
Don't forget to pray

'Cause there'll be hard times
Lord those hard times
Who knows better than I?

Well I soon found out
Just what she meant
When I had to pawn my clothes
Just to pay the rent

Talkin' 'bout hard times
Lord those hard times
Who knows better than I?

I had a woman
Who was always around
But when I lost my money
She put me down

Talkin' 'bout hard times
Hard times
Yeah, yeah, who knows better than I?

Lord, one of these days
There'll be no more sorrow
When I pass away

And no more hard times
No more hard times
Yeah, yeah, who knows better than I?

Space Truckin'


Space Truckin'
Composer(s): Roger Glover - Ritchie Blackmore - Ian Gillan - Jon Lord - Ian Paice
First release by: Deep Purple - 1972
Covered by multiple other artists



We had a lot of luck on Venus
We always had a ball on Mars
Meeting all the groovey people
We've rocked the Milky Way so far
We danced around with Borealice
We're space truckin' round the the stars
Come on let's go Space Truckin'

Remember when we did the moonshot
And Pony Trekker led the way
We'd move to the Canaveral moonstop
And everynaut would dance and sway
We got music in our solar system
We're space truckin' round the stars
Come on let's go Space Truckin'

The fireball that we rode was moving
But now we've got a new machine
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah the freaks said
Man those cats can really swing
They got music in their solar system
They've rocked around the Milky Way
They dance around the Borealice
They're Space Truckin' everyday
Come on

Heart Of Stone (Ernest Tubb)


Heart Of Stone
Composer(s): Johnny Bond; Ernest Tubb
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb



Once you had a heart of gold
Then you let your love grow cold
I was once your very own
But now your heart has turned to stone

Heaven help your Heart Of Stone
Help the heart I called my own
Tell me why the love I new
Had to prove to be untrue

Mercy, mercy hear me cry
All our love was just a lie
I don’t mean a ting to you
Heart Of Stone you’re so untrue

Heart Of Stone or heart of gold
Both can sometimes be so cold
How could you be so unfair?
Why did you pretend to care?

Heaven help your Heart Of Stone
Help the heart I called my own
Tell me why the love I new
Had to prove to be untrue

Hard Time Losin' Man


Hard Time Losin' Man
Composer(s): Jim Croce
Performer(s): Jim Croce



Chorus:
And you think you've seen trouble
Well you're lookin' at the man ah ha
Oh, the world's own original hard luck story
And a hard time losin' man

Oh, sometimes skies are cloudy
And sometimes skies are blue
And sometimes they say that you eat the bear
But sometimes the bear eats you
And sometimes I feel like I should go
Far far away and hide
'Cause I keep a waitin' for my ship to come in
And all that ever comes is the tide

Chorus

Oh I saved up all my money
I gonna buy me a flashy car
So I go downtown to see the man
And he smokin' on a big cigar
Well he must'a thought I were Rockefeller
Or an uptown man of wealth
He said "Boy I got the car that's made for you
And it's cleaner than the Board of Health"
Then I got on the highway...oh
I feelin' fine...I hit a bump
Then I found I bought a car held together
By wire, and a couple a' hunks of twine

Chorus

Oh, Friday night, feelin' right
I head out on the street
Standin' in the doorway
Was a dealer known as Pete
Well he sold me a dime of some super fine
Dynamite from Mexico
I spent all that night
Just tryin' to get right
On an ounce of Oregano

Chorus (4x)

Tell Me!


Tell Me!
Composer(s): Örlygur Smári - Sigurður Örn Jónsson
First performance by: August & Telma - 2000



With you in my life, it's destined to be right
And I know that it's true, girl, I was only made for you
So why don't we make the pieces fit and pack our bags tonight?
And go wherever love will take us, we'll make it all right

Tell me, tell me, tell me once, tell me twice
Tell me there is no compromise
We'll be together all the time
So say you will be mine

Oo... with you by my side, I'm on a rollercoaster-ride
And I know that it's true - boy, I was only made for you
Listen to me now, you've got to give me a sign
'Cause I can't wait here any longer, make up your mind

Tell me, tell me, tell me once, tell me twice
Tell me there is no compromise
We'll be together all the time

Tell me, tell me, tell me once, tell me twice
Tell me there is no compromise
We'll be together all the time
So say you will be mine

If you only knew all that we could do
We'd be together all alone, you and me
Like we were always meant to be

Oh... I don't know if it's fact or fiction
But I'm sure we'll make the right decision
Look into my eyes now, baby, give it all you've got

Tell me, tell me, tell me once, tell me twice
Tell me there is no compromise
We'll be together all the time

Tell me, tell it to me once, tell me twice
Tell me there is no compromise
We'll be together all the time

Serenata Serena (Franco Ricci)


Serenata Serena
Composer(s): E. Bonagura; Falcocchio
Performer(s): Franco Ricci; Oscar Carboni



Un poco per davvero, un pò per gioco
torniamo al sogno del balcone antico
Con un suonare fioco, fioco, fioco
ci assiste il mandolino che ci è amico

Ah, ah, ah, la luna guarda e sa
Serenata serena si' come serena è la sera
chi giurava "Si, sono sincera"
sincera non era

Non m'attende, non risponde
non mi tende le sue braccia
Si pretende, si nasconde
non discende, non s'affaccia

Serenata serena si' come serena e la sera
tu, sincera, canora, leggera
carezza il mio cuore
che amato non è

Chi mi voleva bene e me l'ha detto
chi m'ha donato il bacio più scarlatto
ha tinto più di un viso di rossetto
dimenticando il male che m'ha fatto

Ah, ah, ah, la donna questo fa
Serenata serena si' come serena è la sera
chi giurava "Si, sono sincera"
sincera non era

Non m'attende, non risponde
non mi tende le sue braccia
Si pretende, si nasconde
non discende, non s'affaccia

Serenata serena si' come serena e la sera
tu, sincera, canora, leggera
carezza il mio cuore
che amato non è

Ah ah ah ah, ah, ah, ah
l'amavo tanto!

Non s'affaccia!

Serenata serena se amore ha sbarrato la porta
se non vuole ascoltare il concerto
che importa, l'avverto
io canto per me!

Hard Time Hungrys


Hard Time Hungrys
Composer(s): Shel Silverstein
Performer(s): Bobby Bare



There's an old man sittin' in a rented room
sittin' and watchin' the wall
Tryin' to remember the good ole days
and wonderin' why the kids don't call
They used to go drivin' in the summer sun
when his woman was alive
Now he reads his Gideon Bible
and waits for his welfare check to ride
He got the hard time hungrys
doin' the best that he can
Lord the hard time hungrys
are spreadin' all over the land

There's a Tennessee housewife shoppin' in the market wearin' her last used jeans
She picks up a roast then changes her mind
Puts it back down and buys some more beans
Her old man's workin' in the filling station and what's he gonna say
When he sits down to a table full of nothin' after workin' like a dog all day
He got the hard time hungrys doin' the best that they can
I see the hard time hungrys spreadin' all over the land

A Mississippi farmer he's watchin' the sky wondering if it's gonna rain
The payments due on the tractor Lord and the subse it's been taken away
And in New Yoprk City a taxicab driver screams at the world outside
Cause it sure is hot and nobody's got the money for a cross town ride
Lord they got the hard time hungrys...

Now I ain't no preacher and I ain't no teacher but one thing sure as the sun
If the dollar keeps a droppin' and prices keep a risin' the worst is yet to come
We got the hard time hungrys I feel it touchin' my hand
Lord I see the hard time hungrys spreadin' all over the land
Yes I see the hard time hungrys spreadin' all over the land

Space Station No. 5


Space Station No. 5
Composer(s): Sammy Hagar - Ronnie Montrose
Performer(s): Sammy Hagar
and multiple other artists



Start, with the sun
And move on out
The future's in the skies above
The heavens unfold
And a new star is born
Space and time makin' love

Oh what a time we had
Living on the ground
I've moved to station #5
See you next time around
Next time around

As far you want, as close as you need
It's all in the mind, you know
This old world hasn't really seen it's day
It's here, time to go

Oh what a time we had
Living on the ground
I've moved to station #5
See you next time around
Next time around

Remember when it was so clear
We were young, but the memory still remains
To pick fruit from a tree
Fish from the seas
Now nothing's left here, but the stains
Well I can't cry no more
Can only be glad
There's other places we can be
If the time suits you right
I'm leaving tonight
Come fly away
With me!
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Oh, yeah

Start, with the sun
And move on out
The future's in the skies above
The heavens unfold
A new star is born
Space and time makin' love

Oh what a time we had
Living on the ground
I've moved to station #5
See you next time around
Next time around

Heart Of Stone (Dwight Yoakam)


Heart Of Stone
Composer(s): Kostas; Dwight Yoakam
Performer(s): Dwight Yoakam



Chorus:
This heart of stone sure is missing you
Sure is wishing you were back where love belongs
This heart of stone has not forgotten you
But broke while trying to pretend that it was strong

Memories have made its will grow tired and weak
Silently it turned from being bold to meek
'Til finally it gave into a sad defeat
Aching more and more with every fragile beat

Chorus

Loneliness has slowly stripped it of its pride
Leaving just an empty well here behind
Without a hope of any way it could survive
Stranded there alone and simply left to die

Chorus

Hard Monkeys
Performer(s): Ten Years After



Got no monkey on my back
And I'm never gonna crack

'Cause it's a good life
Too good to lose
But it's a hard world
With the junkie blues

Got no street car called Desire
And I'll never light the fire

'Cause it's a good life
Too good to lose
But it's a hard world
With the junkie blues
