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


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

Serenata Serena (Roger Whittaker)


Serenata Serena
Composer(s): Nick Munro; Roger Whittaker
Performer(s): Roger Whittaker



Serenata Serena
I can hear your voice so clear
I can feel your love descending
Reaching to touch my heart
so far apart

Serenata Serena
How I wish I'd had the time
Just to bring our souls together
Now it's to late, your gone
so far so long

Just to shake your hand
to try to understand
why we never found the time
to talk together
I listen to the trees
Your voice upon the breeze
Oh, dad I always wonder why
until I die, until I die

Serenata Serena
Can you hear my voice so clear?
Can you feel my love ascending?
Reaching across the stars
to where you are
So pure and oh, so far
to where you are

Serenata Serena
Serenata, Serenata
Serena

Hard Hearted Hannah


Hard Hearted Hannah
Composer(s): Jack Yellen; Milton Ager; Bob Bigelow; Charles Bates
Performer(s): Ella Fitzgerald
and multiple other artists



In old Savannah, I said Savannah
The weather there is nice and warm!
The climates of a Southern brand
But here's what I don't understand
They got a gal there, a pretty gal there
Who's colder than an Arctic storm
Got a heart just like a stone
Even ice men leave her alone!

They call her Hard Hearted Hannah
The vamp of Savannah
The meanest gal in town
Leather is tough, but Hannah's heart is tougher
She's a gal who loves to see men suffer!
To tease 'em, and thrill 'em, to torture and kill 'em
Is her delight, they say
I saw her at the seashore with a great big pan
There was Hannah pouring water on a drowning man!
She's Hard Hearted Hannah, the vamp of Savannah, GA!

They call her Hard Hearted Hannah
The vamp of Savannah
The meanest gal in town
Talk of your cold, refrigeratin' mamas
Brother, she's a polar bear's pajamas!
To tease 'em, and thrill 'em, to torture and kill 'em
Is her delight, they say
An evening spent with Hannah sittin' on your knees
Is like travelin' through Alaska in your BVDs
She's Hard Hearted Hannah, the vamp of Savannah, GA!

Can you imagine a woman as cold as Hannah
She's got the right name
The vamp of Savannah
Any time a woman can take a great big pan
And start pouring water on a drownin' man
She's hard hearted Hannah
The Vamp of Savannah GA

Ohh she's sweet as sour milk

Heart Of Stone (Cher)


Heart Of Stone
Composer(s): Andy Hill; Peter Sinfield
Performer(s): Cher



Beneath the white fire of the moon
Love's wings are broken all too soon
We never learn
Hurt together, hurt alone
Don't you sometimes wish
Your heart was a heart of stone
We turn the wheel and break the chain
Put steel to steel and laugh at pain
We're dreamers in castles made of sand
The road to Eden's overgrown
Don't you sometimes wish
Your heart was made of stone
Look at the headlines
Big crowd at the crazy house
Long queue for the joker's shoes
Ten rounds in the ring with love
Do you lose and win
Or win and lose
Sweet rain like mercy in the night
(Lay me down, wash away the sorrow)
Caress my soul and set it right
(Lay me down, show me your tomorrow)
Summer tears, winter and the moment's flown
Dont' you sometimes wish your heart was made of stone
Mercy, mercy wish your heart
Was a heart of stone
Get the picture
No room for the innocent
Peak season in lonely town
Knocked out of the ring by love
Are you down and up Or up and down
I ask the river for a sign
(In a dream we go on together)
How long is love supposed to shine
(In a dream diamonds are forever)
But you and I, hurt together, hurt alone
Don't you sometimes wish
Your heart was a heart of stone
Mercy, mercy wish your heart was a heart of stone
(With a heart of stone, you'll be well protected)
Don't you sometimes wish your heart was made of stone
(With a heart of stone, you'll be well connected)
(Repeat)

Well a hard headed woman
a soft hearted man
been the cause of trouble
ever since the world began
Oh yeah, ever since the world began

Now Adam told to Eve

Now Samson told Delilah

"Keep your cotton pickin' fingers
out my curly hair"
Oh yeah, ever since the world began

I heard about a king
who was doin' swell
till he started playing
with that evil Jezebel
Oh yeah, ever since the world began

a thorn in the side of man

I know a woman
a head like a rock
If she was my girl
I'd run I wouldn't walk
Oh yeah, ever since the world began
a hard headed woman been
a thorn in the side of man

Ragazzo Solo, Ragazza Sola


Ragazzo Solo, Ragazza Sola
(Adapted from: Space Oddity - 1969)
Composer(s): David Bowie - Mogol
Performer(s): Computers - 1969



La mia mente ha preso il volo
Un pensiero, uno solo
Io cammino mentre dorme la citta'

I suoi occhi nella notte
Fanali bianchi nella notte
Una voce che mi parla chi sara'?

Dimmi ragazzo solo dove vai
Perche' tanto dolore?
Hai perduto senza dubbio un grande amore
Ma di amori e' tutta piena la citta'

No ragazza sola, no no no
Stavolta sei in errore
Non ho perso solamente un grande amore
Ieri sera ho perso tutto con lei

Ma lei
I colori della vita
Dei cieli blu
Una come lei non la trovero' mai piu'

Ora ragazzo solo dove andrai
La notte e' un grande mare
Se ti serve la mia mano per nuotare
Grazie ma stasera io vorrei morire
Perche' sai negli occhi miei
C'e' un angelo, un angelo
Che ormai non vola piu' che ormai non vola piu'
Che ormai non vola piu'
C'e' lei
I colori della vita
Dei cieli blu
Una come lei non la trovero' mai piu'

Heart Of My Heart


Heart Of My Heart (aka The Gang That Sang Heart Of My Heart) Composer(s): Ben Ryan Performer(s): The Four Aces and multiple other artists



I sometimes wish I was a kid again
Down in the old neighbourhood
Just to be with Charlie, with little Joe and Pete
Boy, we had a quartet that was mighty hard to beat
I'd love to stand down by that cellar door
Just to hear that Quartet sing once more....

"Heart of my heart", I love that melody
"Heart of my heart" brings back a memory
When we were kids on the corner of the street
We were rough and ready guys
But oh, how we could harmonise

"Heart of my heart" meant friends were dearer then
Too bad we had to part
I know a tear would glisten
If once more I could listen
To the gang that sang "Heart of my heart"

Hard Headed Man


Hard Headed Man
Composer(s): Cathy Lemons
Performer(s): Cathy Lemons



I'm gonna' pack up all my things
Head on down the road
I'm gonna' pack up all my things
Head on down the road
I have taken all I can
And I just can' take no more!

I got a hard headed man
Upsets me all the time
I got a hard headed man
Upsets me all the time
No, he don't see things the way I do
And I do believe I'll lose my mind

All I ever wanted
Was for you to take me as I am
All I ever wanted
for you to take me as I am
You want me to change my ways
And I don't believe I can

You a hard headed man
Ya well you finally met your match
You a hard headed man
Well you finally met your match
Now I'm headin' down the road
And there won't be no looking back

OOOOO
No, No, No
I mean it this time!
