Hearts Of Fire


Hearts Of Fire
Composer(s): Russ Ballard
Performer(s): Roger Daltrey



It was the summer of sixty-four
We ran the streets on to the shore

And in every game we played we knew we had it made
Like no other time before
I was just a man
You were still a child

Two hearts that were running wild

There was no need to pretend
You became more than a friend

They were days without an end

We laughed where we played
We made love where we laid

In the light again we'd run
When the night called the tune
We'd shoot at the moon

And laugh at what we'd done

We were hearts of fire

Do you remember it my friend

We didn't think that it would end
Together then we ran
This boy became a man
They burn on those hearts of fire

They burn on those hearts of fire

Hearts of fire!

And by seventy-two I was running free
It was just the way I wanted to be

I thought I'd left our love for dead
But my heart it ruled my head

And I fell in love instead!

We fought where we played
we made love where we laid

Just like the time before
And if the battle should start to tear us apart

We won't go to war no more

We were hearts of fire

Do you remember it my friend

We didn't think that it would end
Toghether then we ran
Turn a boy into a man
They burn on those hearts of fire

They burn on those hearts of fire

They burn on those hearts of fire
Hearts of fire!

We were hearts of fire

H--A--double R--I--G--A--N spells Harrigan
Proud of all the Irish blood that's in me
Divil' a man can say a word agin' me

Who is the man never stood for a gadabout?

Who is the man that the town's simply mad about?

Is a name that a shame never has been connected with
Harrigan, that's me!

Angel (Two Tricky)


Angel
Composer(s): Einar Bárðarson, Magnús Þór Sigmundsson
First performance by: Two Tricky - 2001



(Ooh ooh... nananana...)
Came flyin' into my life like a shooting star, so open hearted
Then I was just a joker, but you – the Queen of Hearts, and so we parted
But now I feel you closin' in
You pick me up and take me there, oh...

Angel – show me a sign
Come shoot me with your arrow right through this heart of mine
Angel – show me the way
I'll walk the straight and narrow, so hit me when I say:
Oh Angel – fly me away, yeah

(Ooh ooh... nananana...)

If love can be forever, minute or a day, it's no illusion
I know I'm gonna find you somwhere in the clouds of my confusion
But now I see you closin' in
You pick me up and take me there, oh...

Angel – show me a sign
Come shoot me with your arrow right through this heart of mine
Angel – show me the way
I'll walk the straight and narrow, so hit me when I say:
Oh Angel – fly me away, yeah

(Ooh ooh... nananana...)

But now I see you closin' in
You pick me up and take me there, oh...

Angel – show me a sign
Come shoot me with your arrow right through this heart of mine
Angel – show me the way
I'll walk the straight and narrow, so hit me when I say:
Angel (Oh... show my the way)

Oh Angel – show me the way
I'll walk the straight and narrow, so hit me when I say:
Oh Angel – fly me away, oh...

Heartlight


Heartlight
Composer(s): Burt Bacharach; Neil Diamond; Carole Bayer Sager
Performer(s): Neil Diamond;
and various other artists



Come back again
I want you to stay next time
'Cause sometimes the world ain't kind
When people get lost like you and me
I just made a friend
A friend is someone you need
But now that he had to go away
I still feel the words that he might say

Turn on your heartlight
Let it shine wherever you go
Let it make a happy glow
For all the world to see

Turn on your heartlight
In the middle of a young boy's dream
Don't wake me up too soon
Gonna take a ride across the moon
You and me

He's lookin' for home
'Cause everyone needs a place
And home's the most excellent place of all
And I'll be right here if you should call me

Turn on your heartlight
Let it shine wherever you go
Let it make a happy glow
For all the world to see

Turn on your heartlight
In the middle of a young boy's dream
Don't wake me up too soon
Gonna take a ride across the moon
You and me

Turn on you heartlight now
Turn on you heartlight now

Harpo's Blues


Harpo's Blues
Composer(s): Phoebe Snow
Performer(s): Phoebe Snow; Laura Martier



I wish I was a willow
And I could sway to the music in the wind
And I wish I was a lover
I wouldn't need my costumes and pretend
I wish I was a mountain
I'd pass boldly thru the clouds and never end
I wish I was a soft refrain
When the lights were out I'd play
and be your friend
I strut and fret my hour upon the stage
The hour is up
I have to run and hide my rage
I'm lost again
I think I'm really scared
I won't be back at all this time
And have my deepest secrets shared

I'd like to be a willow
A lover, a mountain or a soft refrain
But I'd hate to be a grown-up
And have to try to bear my life in pain

I wish I was a soft refrain
When the lights were out I'd play
and be your friend
I strut and fret my hour upon the stage
The hour is up
I have to run and hide my rage
I'm lost again
I think I'm really scared
I won't be back at all this time
And have my deepest secrets shared

I'd like to be a willow
A lover, a mountain or a soft refrain
But I'd hate to be a grown-up
And have to try to bear my life in pain

There is a rose in Spanish Harlem
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem
It is a special one, it's never seen the sun
It only comes out when the moon is on the run
And all the stars are gleaming
It's growing in the street right up through the concrete
But soft and sweet and dreaming

There is a rose in Spanish Harlem
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem
With eyes as black as coal that look down in my soul
And starts a fire there and then I lose control
I have to beg your pardon
I'm going to pick that rose and watch her as she grows in my garden

I'm going to pick that rose and watch her as she grows in my garden

(There is a rose in Spanish Harlem)

Heartbreaker, the cutest Gal in town
You heartbreaker, boys follow you around
You think that you are having your fling
Making hearts dance just like puppets on a string
You heartbreaker

So be careful what you do when you break a heart in two
For that heart may belong to you

Harper Valley P.T.A.


Harper Valley P.T.A.
Composer(s): Tom T. Hall
Performer(s): Jeannie C. Riley



I want to tell you all a story 'bout a Harper Valley widowed wife
Who had a teenage daughter who attended Harper Valley Junior High
Well her daughter came home one afternoon and didn't even stop to play
She said, "Mom, I got a note here from the Harper Valley P.T.A."

The note said, "Mrs. Johnson, you're wearing your dresses way too high
It's reported you've been drinking and a-runnin' 'round with men and going wild
And we don't believe you ought to be bringing up your little girl this way"
It was signed by the secretary, Harper Valley P.T.A.

Well, it happened that the P.T.A. was gonna meet that very afternoon
They were sure surprised when Mrs. Johnson wore her mini-skirt into the room
And as she walked up to the blackboard, I still recall the words she had to say
She said, "I'd like to address this meeting of the Harper Valley P.T.A."

Well, there's Bobby Taylor sittin' there and seven times he's asked me for a date
Mrs. Taylor sure seems to use a lot of ice whenever he's away
And Mr. Baker, can you tell us why your secretary had to leave this town?
And shouldn't widow Jones be told to keep her window shades all pulled completely down?

Well, Mr. Harper couldn't be here 'cause he stayed too long at Kelly's Bar again
And if you smell Shirley Thompson's breath, you'll find she's had a little nip of gin
Then you have the nerve to tell me you think that as a mother I'm not fit
Well, this is just a little Peyton Place and you're all Harper Valley hypocrites

No I wouldn't put you on because it really did, it happened just this way
The day my Mama socked it to the Harper Valley P.T.A.
The day my Mama socked it to the Harper Valley P.T.A.

Heartbreaker (Led Zeppelin)


Heartbreaker
Composer(s): John Bonham; John Paul Jones;
Jimmy Page; Robert Plant
Performer(s): Led Zeppelin



Hey fellows, have you heard the news
You know that Annie's back in town
It won't take long just watch an' see
How the fellows lay their money down
Her style is new but the face the same
As it was so long ago
But from her eyes, a different smile
Like that of one who knows

Well, it's been ten years and maybe more
Since I first set eyes on you
The best years of my life gone by
Here I am alone and blue
Some people cry and some people die
By the wicked ways of love
But I'll just keep on rolling along
With the grace of the Lord above

People talking all around
'Bout the way you left me flat
I don't care what the people say
I know where their jive is at
One thing I do have on my mind
If you can clarify, please do
It's the way you call me another guy's name
When I try to make love to you, yeah-uh
I try to make love, they know you
Give it to me, give it

Ooh, work so hard I couldn't unwind
Get some money saved
Abuse my love a thousand times
However hard I tried
Heartbreaker, your time has come
Can't take your evil way
Go away, heartbreaker

Heartbreaker
Heartbreaker
Heart

Harold The Frog


Harold The Frog
Performer(s): Captain Beaky



Harold, a rather lonely frog
With spotted manly chest
Lived in a wet and squelchy bog
And always looked depressed

He couldn't get a froggy date
Although he'd try each night
But when he'd squelch behind a girl
She'd just leap off in fright

A wallflower at the local hop
He'd dance 'til dawn alone
(two three four)
Quick quick slow quick
Plop plop plop
Then squelch his way back home

Reflecting in his private pool
On his unhappy fate,
He wondered why on earth it was
He couldn't get a date...

His friends all knew the reason why
But friends don't like to tell
A frog who's got and doesn't know
A wet and boggy smell
A frog who's got a wet and boggy smell

Out On My Own


Out On My Own
Composer(s): Dirk-Jan Vermeij - André Remkes
First performance by: Michelle - 2001



Closing the door, leaving behind all that has been
No turn around, life begins out on my own

Follow the sun from day to day, free as a bird
Now is the time to spread my wings out on my own

Come to the conclusion I am in control
Take it with my body and my soul

I can fly over mountains, over seas
I never felt so free in the choices of my life
I can fly over mountains, over seas
I never felt so free in the choices of my life

Closing the door, leaving behind all that has been
Now is the time to spread my wings out on my own

Come to the conclusion I am in control
Take it with my body and my soul

I can fly over mountains, over seas
I never felt so free in the choices of my life
I can fly over mountains, over seas
I never felt so free in the choices of my life

Free in the choices of my life
Free in the choices of my life

Once I had a little girl, sometimes I think about her
But, buddy, you know she's not really there
When memories do call, I just, I just can't live without her
But tryin' all the time is so hard to bear

Chorus:
Heartbreaker, can't take her
Heartbreaker, bringing me down
Heartbreaker, can't take her
Heartbreaker, bringing me down

I don't cry no more, I live while I'm flying
But I'll think back, and you can hear me say

Harmony Constant


Harmony Constant
Composer(s): Fred Myrow; Michael Nesmith
Performer(s): Michael Nesmith



Quietly perusing my state of affairs
With nothing apparently wrong
A silent and quiet restoration occurs
Of emotions forgotten and gone

Then, slowly my eyes start an effortless rise
Exposing the past to review
And the Harmony Constant in all of these things
Is the thought of the future with you

Unlimited joy, unlimited time
And the beauty of infinite light
Unlimited freedom that's rightfully mine
And is yours is unlimited life

The concept of love has ultimate might
The power of peace and truth
And the Harmony Constant in all of these things
Is the thought of the future with you

Unlimited joy, unlimited time
And the beauty of infinite light
Unlimited freedom that's rightfully mine
And is yours is unlimited life

The concept of loving has ultimate might
The power of peace and truth
And the Harmony Constant in all of these things
Is the thought of the future with you

Spanish Flea


Spanish Flea
((Adapted from: Spanish Flea (by Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass) - 1965))
Composer(s): Julius Wechter
Performer(s): Allan Sherman



It's good to be a Spanish flea
The Spanish dogs all scratch at me
I make my home in a spaniel
Called Jose or Manuel
Or Juan
And I wouldn't put you on
My summer place is some great dane
In Barcelona, northern Spain
And though it rains in July
I keep dry way up high
'Cause the rain
Falls mainly in the plain
Ah, but in the wintertime
I find a cozy Saint Bernard
Up the Spanish Alps we climb
Complete with anti-freeze
More brandy, please
I've got a sweetheart flea, cute kid
Lives on a beagle near Madrid
If she can sublet her beagle
I'll make her my legal
First wife
And we'll live a dog's life
But if she refuses me
I'm gonna shout, "Who cares!"
And move somewheres
Perchance I'll fly to southern France
Where any flea can find romance
I'll pack my kit and caboodle
And find me a poodle
And dance
'Scuse me, Rover, which way's France?

Heartbreaker (Dionne Warwick)


Heartbreaker
Composer(s): Barry Gibb; Robin Gibb; Maurice Gibb
Performer(s): Dionne Warwick



I got to say it and it’s hard for me
You got me cryin’ like I thought I would never be
Love is believin’, but you let me down
How can I love you when you ain’t around

And I get to the morning and you never call
Love should be everything or not at all
And it don’t matter what ever you do
I made a life out of lovin’ you

Only to find any dream that I follow is dying
I’m cryin’ in the rain
I could be searchin’ my world for a love everlasting
Feeling no pain
When will we meet again

Why do you have to be a heartbreaker
Is it a lesson that I never knew
Gotta get out of the spell that I’m under
My love for you

Why do you have to be a heartbreaker
When I was bein’ what you want me to be
Suddenly everything I ever wanted has passed me by
This world may end, not you and I

My love is stronger than the universe
My soul is cryin’ for you and that cannot be reversed
You made the rules and you could not see
You made a life out of hurtin’ me

Out of my mind, I am held by the power of you, love
Tell me when do we try
Or should we say goodbye

Why do you have to be a heartbreaker
When I was bein’ what you want me to be
Suddenly everything I ever wanted
Has passed me by

Oh...oh...oh...

Why do you have to be a heartbreaker
Is it a lesson that I never knew
Suddenly everything I ever wanted
My love for you, oh, oh, oh

Why do you have to be a heartbreaker
When I was bein’ what you want me to be
Suddenly everything I ever wanted
Has passed me by, tell me

Why do you have to be a heartbreaker
Is it a lesson that I never knew

All To You


All To You
Composer(s): Dave Moskin
First performance by: The Rounder Girls - 2000



I never was the one to carry on
But everything is different since you came along
In the middle of something special, I never felt this way before
Now I need a little time to understand a little more

I can't explain the way you made me feel (Made me feel)
Or the moment that my heart began to reel (Reel)
You took me in a new direction, you're showin' me a different way (Different way)
Now I'm in a situation, I will be the one to say

Why don't you take me, my baby
Hold me for all time and never leave me, believe me
Let me be your one and only
Love me like you do and let me give my lovin' all to you
Oh yeah...

Now I know it's love, and that's a fact (That's a fact)
No return, there is no goin' back (No, no, no, no)
It might be the way you make me crazy, you always take my breath away
And now there's only one thing, baby, that there's left for me to say

Why don't you take me, my baby
Hold me for all time and never leave me, believe me
I will always be by your side
Always on my mind, my baby, take me

And everything I feel is from the bottom of my heart (Yeah...)
I'll give you everything I have, I'll give you what you never had

Why don't you take me, my baby
Hold me for all time and never leave me, believe me
I will always be by your side
Always on my mind, you take what's wrong and make it right

I really need you, to feel you
Wrap me in your arms, surround me sweetly, completely
Let me be your one and only
Love me like you do, just let me give my lovin' all to you

Let me give my lovin' all to you

Heartbreak In Silhouette


Heartbreak In Silhouette
Composer(s): Carey Fraley; Peggy Ann Manson; Allen McCoy
Performer(s): Jim Reeves



I listened to an old friend describe the girl he'd met
In memory I could see her, heartbreak in silhouette
He said her hair was golden, her eyes were violet
It surely had to be her, heartbreak in silhouette

He said that when he kissed her, her kisses were like wine
And suddenly I wondered if she'd break his heart like mine
But I sat there in silence and smoked my cigarette
His heart would soon discover heartbreak in silhouette

With shining eyes he told me about the night they'd met
My own heart kept remembering heartbreak in silhouette
Outside the rain kept falling, recalling old regrets
Then she stood in the doorway, heartbreak in silhouette

At first she didn't see us, because the lights were dim
As she chatted with her new love, she had eyes for only him
My friend sat that there in silence and not one word was said
Two broken hearts were sharing heartbreak in silhouette
Heartbreak in silhouette

Harmony (Anne Murray)


Harmony
Composer(s): Mark Spiro; Tony Marty; Jack White
Performer(s): Anne Murray



I never thought we would end up together, my love
I always thought I'd be lonely forever, my love
Every song was just a melody
Until you came singin' what you sang to me

Chorus:
Harmony, two part love
You and me just one on one
Harmony, you do the sweetest things
You took me up to heaven
Now I can hear the angels sing

No way around it
We had to be one of a kind
My love
Just look at the way that we shine
My love
We turned a love into a symphony
I can hear it everytime that you look at me

Chorus

Sweet and tenderly
Whispering in my ear
Voices of love start talking to me
When you're near
And all I can hear
Is your

Chorus
