Harry Pollitt
Harry Pollitt
Composer(s): Ben Bruce
Performer(s): The Limeliters
This one is the story of Harry Pollitt
Harry Pollit was at one time a very influential member
of the Communist Party in England
until he was finally thrown out
and when they threw him out, they wrote a song about him as if he were dead
And it goes like this
Harry Pollit was a worker; one of Lenin's lads
He was foully murdered by those counter revolutionary cads
Counter revolutionary cads, counter revolutionary cads
He was foully murdered by those counter revolutionary cads!
Old Harry went to heaven, he reached the gates with ease
Said, "May I speak with Comrade God; I am Harry Pollitt please
I'm Harry Pollitt please, I'm Harry Pollitt please
May I speak with Comrade God, I am Harry Pollitt please"
"Who are you' said Saint Peter, "Are you humble and contrite?"
"I'm a friend of Lady Astors"
"Well, OK, that's quite alright
OK, that's quite alright, well OK, that's quite alright
You're a friend of Lady Astor, well OK that's quite alright"
They put him in the choir, but the hymns he did not like
So he organized the angels and he led them out on strike
Led them out on strike, Led them out on strike
He organized the angels and he led them out on strike!
One day when God was walking around heaven to medidate
Who should he see but Harry chalkin' slogans on the gate?
Chalkin' slogans on the gate, slogans on the gate
Who should he see but Harry chalkin' slogans on the gate?
Well, they brought him up for trial before the Holy Ghost
For spreadin' disaffection amongst the heavenly hosts
Amongst the heavenly hosts, amongst the heavenly hosts
For spreadin' disaffection amongst the heavenly hosts
Well, the verdict it was guilty, Harry said "Ah, well'
He tucked his nightie 'round his knees and he drifted down to hell
Yes, he drifted down to hell, he drifted down to hell
He tucked his nightie 'round his knees and he drifted down to hell
Now seven long years have passed, Harry's doing swell
He's just been made the first people's commissar for Soviet hell
Commissar of soviet hell, commissar of Soviet hell
He's just been made the first people's commissar of Soviet hell!
Well the moral of this story is easy for to tell
If you want to be a Bolshevik, you'll have to go to hell
If you want to be a Bolshevik, you'll have to go to hell
Yes, you'll have to go to hell
If you want to be a Bolshevik
You'll have to go to hell!

On My Own (Haldor Lægreid)
On My Own
Composer(s): Tom-Steinar Hanssen - Ole Henrik Antonsen - Ole Jørgen Olsen
First performance by: Haldor Lægreid - 2001
In tender years, the path seemed longer then it ever really was
How could I know?
I realised, as time went by, I had to try, the world outside was mine
You let me go
So I left and tried to find my way to paradise
The winding road that lead me there was life
I'm on my own again
Left all alone, where I belong
I'm on my own again
Left all alone
And now I've seen it all, I wouldn't change a day – when curtains fall
I do my show
So at last I know I've found my one true paradise
The winding road that lead me there was life
I'm on my own again
Left all alone, where I belong
I'm on my own again
I'm on my own, on my own
(I'm on my own again)
(Left all alone, where I belong)
(I'm on my own again) On my own
(Left all alone) On my own, on my own again

Hearts Of Stone (Bruce Springsteen)
Hearts Of Stone
Composer(s): Bruce Springsteen
Performer(s): Bruce Springsteen
You stare in the mirror at the lines in your face
And you try to see, girl
The way things were when we were at your place
In the days it was just you and me, girl
And you cry because things ain't like before
Well don't you know they can't be that way anymore
But don't worry baby
Chorus
I can't talk now, I'm not alone
So put your ear close to the phone
'Cause this is the last dance
This is the last chance for hearts of stone
If there was something, baby, that I could do
Something that would last, honey, I would
But we all know, girl, especially you do
How you can't return to your past, no
So girl close your eyes and I'll be there
Hold me once more and we can go anywhere
Ah, we could
Chorus
And you cry because things ain't like before
Well don't you know they can't be like that anymore
Well I know it, baby

Sorry Harry, think I'm gonna put you down
Sha dah dah dah sha dah dah dah dah

Spanish Harlem Incident
Spanish Harlem Incident
Composer(s): Bob Dylan
First release by: Bob Dylan - 1964
Covered by multiple other artists
Gypsy gal the hands of Harlem
Cannot hold you to its heat
Your temperature's too hot for taming
Your flaming feet are burnin' up the street
I am homeless come and take me
Into the reach of your rattling drums
I gotta know babe all about my fortune
Down along my restless path
Gypsy gal you got me swallowed
I have fallen far beneath
Your pearly eyes so fast and slashin'
And your flashing diamond teeth
The night is pitch black come and make my
Pale face fit into place ah, please
I gotta know babe I'm nearly drowning
If it's you my lifelines trace
I been wonderin' all about me
Ever since I seen you there
On the cliffs of your wildcat charms I'm riding
I know I'm 'round you but I don't know where
You have slayed me you have made me
I got to laugh halfways off my heels
I got to know babe when you surround me
So I can know if I'm really real

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

(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

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

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:

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

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.

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

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

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
