Harden My Heart


Harden My Heart
Composer(s): Marvin Ross
Performer(s): Quarterflash;
and various other artists



Cryin' on the corner, waitin' in the rain
I swear I'll never, ever wait again
You gave me your word..but words for you are lies

Darlin' in my wildest dreams, I never thought I'd go
But it's time to let you know....oh...

Chorus:
I'm gonna harden my heart
I'm gonna swallow my tears
I'm gonna turn...and...leave you here.....

All of my life I've been waitin' in the rain
I've been waiting for a feeling...that never, ever came
It feels so close, but always disappears....

Darlin', in your wildest dreams, you never had a clue...
But it's time you got the news......oooo....

Repeat Chorus

I'm gonna harden my heart
I'm gonna swallow my tears
I'm gonna harden my heart
I'm gonna swallow my tears
Harden my heart...harden my heart...
swallow my tears
I'm gonna harden my heart....

Heartache Tonight


Heartache Tonight
Composer(s): Glenn Frey; Don Henley;
Bob Seger; J.D. Souther
Performer(s): The Eagles;
and various other artists



Somebody's gonna hurt someone
Before the night is through
Somebody's gonna come undone
There's nothin' we can do

Everybody wants to touch somebody
If it takes all night
Everybody wants to take a little chance
And make it come out right

There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know
There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know
Lord, I know

Some people like to stay out late
Some folks can't hold out that long
But nobody wants to go home now
There's too much goin' on

This night is gonna last forever
Last all, last all summer long
Sometimes before the sun comes up
The radio is gonna play that song

There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know
There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know
Lord, I know

There's gonna be a heartache tonight
The moon's shinin' bright
So turn out the light
And we'll get it right
There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know

Somebody's gonna hurt someone (somebody)
Before the night is through
Somebody's gonna come undone
There's nothin' we can do (everybody)

Everybody wants to touch somebody
If it takes all night
Everybody wants to take a little chance
And make it come out right

There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know
There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know
Let's go

We can beat around the bushes
We can get down to the bone
We can leave it in the parkin' lot
But either way there's gonna be a -
Heartache tonight, a heartache tonight
I know
Oh, I know
There'll be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know

Hard Core Poetry


Hard Core Poetry
Composer(s): Dennis Lambert; Brian Potter
Performer(s): Tavares; The 5th Dimension



It depends on who is looking at the tenement walls
Whether he's coming home or passing through
You can walk the streets and find so much to criticize
But that would be the easy thing to do
'Coz there's beauty in the concrete
If you see it with your heart
The sidewalks only hurt you
If you hate them from the start

This is a song not necessarily sweet
I'll pass it on to folks that I never will meet
And if my words don't make history
Just call it hardcore poetry

You can blame the world if troubles come
And knock at your door
Let your weakness cut you down to size
If you find some fault with everything surrounding you
Maybe it's your narrow-minded eyes
'Coz there's music in the city
If your ear is to the ground
Only nonbelievers never hear a single sound

This is a song not necessarily sweet
I'll pass it on to folks that I never will meet
And if my words don't make history
Just call it hardcore poetry

La Vita Cos'è


La Vita Cos'è
First performance by: Jane Bogaert - 2000



Mi sveglio al mattino
Il caffè ancora caldo di ieri
La pioggia sulla finestra
Che legge nei miei pensieri

Mi chiedo dove sei amore lontano
Il telefono non ha suonato
Quel tuo sorriso mi fa impazzire
Non posso più aspettare

So che non era facile, il cuore mio così fragile
Si accende in un momento e vola via con il vento
Mi sento una piccola onda nel mare, azzurro dell'amore
Adesso nei miei giorni ci sei tu

La vita cos'è? La vita dov'è?
Una spina nel cuore che mi crea dolore
Se tu non ci sei

La vita dov'è? La vita cos'è?
Un palco d'amore ma l'applauso non c'é
Se tu non ci sei

Dividi con me il mondo, fammi vivere ogni giorno
Per restare accesa come la luce di una stella
Vivere un amore nel cielo, non c'è una cosa più bella
Stringimi più forte, baciami

La vita cos'è? La vita dov'è?
Una spina nel cuore che mi crea dolore
Se tu non ci sei

La vita dov'è? la vita cos'è?
Un palco d'amore ma l'applauso non c'é
Se tu non ci sei

Se tu non ci sei

Heartache No. 9


Heartache No. 9
Composer(s): David Grant; Evan Rogers; Carl Sturken
Performer(s): Hot Chocolate; Pauli Carman



Heartache number nine - heartache number nine

You look like a dream
but it's obscence the way you play your game
You treat them like a number without a name
Lovers used
their hearts abused
I'm gone without a trace
Don't you know it's time to mend your ways?

Don't wanna be heartache number nine
I'm not gonna play that part
I'm gonna be the one to change your mind

You're never gonna break my heart

When I'm down I'll be the only one

I'll never be known as heartache number nine
One to three were way before me

and four was a friend of mine
They fail for your lies time after time
Five and six were here and gone
they didn't last too long

And seven and eight were next in line

Don't wanna be heartache number nine

It's been eight times that love's walked in and out of your life

But it's all in the past 'cause I'm here to stay
oh baby

Heartache number nine - heartache number nine
When I'm down I'll be the only one

I'll never be known as heartache number nine

Heartache number nine
Don't wanna be heartache number nine - heartache number nine

Hard, Ain't It Hard
Composer(s): Woody Guthrie
Performer(s): The Kingston Trio;
and various other artists



Oh well it’s hard, ain’t it hard, ain’t it hard
To love one who never did love you
Oh well it’s hard, ain’t it hard, ain’t it hard Great God
To love one who never will be true

Well there is a house in this old town
And that’s where my true love lays around
And she sits down upon another’s knee (do tell)
And tells him what she never will tell me

Oh well it’s hard, ain’t it hard, ain’t it hard (oh yes)
To love one who never did love you
Oh well it’s hard, ain’t it hard, ain’t it hard Great God
To love one who never will be true

Oh well the first time I seen my true love
She was a’standing a’by my door
And the last time I seen her false-hearted smile
She was dead on that barroom floor (porter)

Oh well it’s hard, ain’t it hard, ain’t it hard (oh yes)
To love one who never did love you
Oh well it’s hard, ain’t it hard, ain’t it hard Great God
To love one who never will be true

Well who’s gonna kiss your ruby lips?
Who’s gonna hold your little hand?
And who’s gonna do, well--you know what!
When I’m down in that promised land? (hey)

Oh well it’s hard, ain’t it hard, ain’t it hard (oh yes)
To love one who never did love you
Oh well it’s hard, ain’t it hard, ain’t it hard Great God
To love one who never will be true (pick it)

Oh well don’t drinkin’ and gamblin’
Don’t go there your sorrows for to drown
Oh well this hard liquor place is a low down disgrace
It’s the meanest darn place in this town

Oh well it’s hard, ain’t it hard, ain’t it hard (oh yes)
To love one who never did love you
Oh well it’s hard, ain’t it hard, ain’t it hard Great God
To love one who never will be true (here we go)

Oh well it’s hard, ain’t it hard, ain’t it hard (oh yes)
To love one who never did love you
Oh well it’s hard, ain’t it hard, ain’t it hard Great God
To love one who never will be true

Spam


Spam
((Adapted from: Stand - 1988 (by R.E.M.))
Composer(s): Bill Berry - Peter Buck - Mike Mills - Michael Stipe
Performer(s): "Weird Al" Yankovic - 1989



Spam in the place where I live (ham and pork)
Think about nutrition, wonder what's inside it now (oh boy)
Spam in my luchbox at work (it's the best)
Really makes a darn good sandwhich any way you slice it at all

If you're running low, go to the store
Carry some money to help you buy more
The tab is there to open the can
The can is there to hold in the spam

Oh, spam on the table at home (ham and pork)
Think about selection, are there different flavors now (let's eat)
Spam in my office at work (it's the best)
Think about the stuff its made from, wonder if it's mystery of meat

If you need a spoon, keep one around
Carry a thermose to help wash it down
Now, if there's some left, don't just throw it out
Use it for spackle or bathroom grout, now

Spam in my pantry at home (have some more)
Think of expiration, better read the lable (oh boy)
Spam breakfast, dinner, or lunch (it's the best)
Think about how it's been precooked, wonder if I'll just eat it cold

Now, once you start in, you can't put it down
Don't leave it sitting or it'll turn brown
The key is going to open the tin
The tin is there to keep the spam in

Oh, spam (spam)
Ham and pork
Think about nutrition, wonder what's inside it now (oh boy)
Spam (spam)
It's the best
Really makes a darn good sandwich any way you slice it

Spam in the place where I live (have some more)
Think about addiction, wonder if I'm a junkie now (let's eat)
Spam in the place where I work (you're obsessed)
Think about the way it's processed, wonder if it's some kind of meat

Spam in the back of my car (ham and pork)
Spam any place that you are (ham and pork)
The tab is there to open the can (spam any place that you are) (ham and pork)
The can is there to hold in the spam (spam any place that you are) (ham and pork)

In acting this way

Hard To Say I'm Sorry


Hard To Say I'm Sorry
Composer(s): Peter Cetera; David Foster
Performer(s): Chicago



"Everybody needs a little time away"
I heard her say
"From each other"

"Even lovers need a holiday
Far away
From each other"

Hold me now
It's hard for me to say I'm sorry
I just want you to stay

After all that we've been through
I will make it up to you
I promise to

And after all that's been said and done
You're just the part of me I can't let go

Couldn't stand to be kept away
Just for the day
From your body

Wouldn't wanna be swept away
Far away
From the one that I love

Hold me now
It's hard for me to say I'm sorry
I just want you to know

Hold me now
I really want to tell you I'm sorry
I could never let you go

After all that we've been through
I will make it up to you
I promise to

And after all that's been said and done
You're just the part of me I can't let go

After all that we've been through
I will make it up to you
I promise to
You're gonna be the lucky one

Heart Please Be Still


Heart Please Be Still
Composer(s): Ernest Tubb; Tommy Paige; Baby Stewart
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb



Heart Please Be Still
Don’t tell her you’re achin’
You’re pumping the tears into my eyes
She just mustn’t know the story of your breakin’
I can’t smile when part of me cries

When she played around
I thought that she was jokin’
And when I learned the truth
You had done been broken

So, Heart Please Be Still
Don’t tell her you’re aching
You just mustn’t tell her on me

Ah come in Hal

Butterball now

Heart Please Be Still
Don’t tell her of your sorrow
I’m afraid that your beating is too loud
They say the night is long
Before the bright tomorrow
A silver lining to every cloud

Wish the cloud would break
Before she hears you’re pleading
I don’t want her to know
That she’s all I’m needing

So, Heart Please Be Still
Don’t tell her you’re aching
You just mustn’t tell her on me

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
