Henry Joy


Henry Joy
Performer(s): The Clancy Brothers



An Ulsterman I am proud to be
From the Antrim Glens I come
Although I labour by the sea
I have followed flag and drum
I have heard the martial tramp of men
I've seen them fight and die
Ah, lads, I well remember when
I followed Henry Joy

I pulled my boat up from the sea
I hid my sails away
I hung my nets on a greenwood tree
And I scanned the moonlit bay
The boys were out, and the Redcoats too
I kissed my wife goodbye
And in the shade of the greenwood glade
I followed Henry Joy"
In Antrim town the tyrant stood
He tore our ranks with ball
But with a cheer and a pike to clear
We swept them o'er the wall
Our pikes and sabres flushed that day
We won, but lost, ah, why?
No matter lads, I fought beside
And shielded Henry Joy

Ah, boys, for Ireland's cause we fought
For her and home we bled
Though our pikes were few still our hearts beat true
And five to one lay dead
And many a lassie mourned her lad
And mother mourned her boy
For youth was strong in that gallant throng
Who followed Henry Joy

Eighties Coming Back


Eighties Coming Back
Composer(s): Vaiko Eplik
First performance by: Ruffus - 2003



You thought you had it coming
But now you really, really just don't know
It seems you make a deal far too big outta this

Aha, you thought that you'd done it
Yeah, you thought that you had heard it all
But the state of things is putting you down now
Just because, whoah...

You know they say it's just the eighties coming back
Can you feel it's the eighties coming back?
Yeah, I know it's just the eighties coming
Eighties coming, eighties coming
Eighties coming back

You said let's do it
Let's take it out and dance all night
But those deep synthesizer sounds freak you out
Whoah...

And now you wake up in the middle of the night
In terror, all you do is cry
Cold sweat, a cup of tea, no nothing seems to help you
Through the night, my God

Now, it feels just like the eighties coming back
Can you feel it's the eighties coming back?
Yeah, I know it's just the eighties coming
Eighties coming, eighties coming
Eighties coming back

Yeah, you thought you had it coming
But now it looks like you didn't know this
But everybody's wearing their hair
The way you did fifteen years ago
And it makes you wanna cry

Oh, it feels just like the eighties coming back
Can you feel it? It's the eighties coming back
Yeah, I know it's just the eighties coming
Eighties coming, eighties coming
Eighties coming back

Henry Hudson


Henry Hudson
Composer(s): Nico
Performer(s): Nico



White light lays above
The Henry Hudson riverbank
And you will see a lady standing
Stealing past a happy ending
Staring at the happy landing

Her heart beats loud and fast
Her love looks like a broken glass

White light lays above
The riverbank
A sinking ship has brought the light
Upon the land
And Henry Hudson knows not where
The lady's standing

A lonely shoulder must grow older
Waiting on the riverbank

Spring Is Here


Spring Is Here
Composer(s): Lorenz Hart - Richard Rodgers
First performance/First recording by: Dennis King & Vivienne Segal/Frank Sinatra - 1938/1947
Covered by multiple other artists



Once there was a thing called spring
When the world was writing verses
Like yours and mine
All the lads and girls would sing
When we sat at little tables
And drank May wine
Now April, May and June
Are sadly out of tune
Life has stuck the pin in the balloon

Spring is here!
Why doesn't my heart go dancing?
Spring is here!
Why isn't the waltz entrancing?
No desire
No ambition leads me
Maybe it's because
Nobody needs me
Spring is here!
Why doesn't the breeze delight me?
Stars appear!
Why doesn't the night invite me?
Maybe it's because
Nobody loves me
Spring is here, I hear!

Hemingway Delira


Hemingway Delira
Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Performer(s): Eliades Ochoa



A la deriva la noche...
la selva invade el lanchón
la luna, bola de sangre
la devoró el tiburón
las olas vuelan tiñosas
rizadas por un ciclón
"Pilar" navega sin rumbo
bajo un diluvio de ron...
En el Caribe...
se vive como se escribe
se escribe como se vive...
en el Caribe...
Bajo la noche guajira
Hemingway delira
Una sirena picúa
se proa de mascarón
una bandera, a jirones
lleva pintado un blasón
"Cabeza de cocodrilo
y cuerpo de Camarón..."
Gregorio, el viejo marino
aún sigue siendo el patrón...
En el Caribe...
se vive, se escribe
escribe y vive
el Caribe como es
Bajo la noche guajira
Hemingway delira
Una langosta mulata
anda buscando el timón
y llora una viuda negra
sobre la tripulación...
Lejana, 'Finca Vigía'
sufre una alucinación...
Ernest, el aventurero
se bate contra el Dragón...
En el Caribe...
y se bebe y se mueve y se bebe
en el Caribe...
y se mueve y se bebe y se mueve
en el Caribe... al compás del viejo son...
Bajo la noche guajira
Hemingway delira

Spring In Manhattan


Spring In Manhattan
Composer(s): Alice Scanlan Reach - Anthony Scibetta
Performer(s): Tony Bennett
and multiple other artists



Spring in Manhattan starts after dark
After a lazy afternoon in Central Park
Washington Square may be where you'll feel her first warm touch
Down in the village you'll find she may be much, too much

Spring in Manhattan never stays long
Still if you fall in love she'll bless you with a song
And if you listen to every word the song she'll sing will bring
Spring in manhattan to stay all Winter long

Hembra Mía
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute



Cuando te pienso desnuda
en tu animal insolencia
hembra mía
hembra mía
tu carne de tibia cera
me flagela con espinas
hembra mía

Cuando te pienso desnuda
tan plácidamente ajena
hembra mía
hembra mía
cómo explicarte la lenta
soledad de mi agonía
hembra mía

Cuando te pienso desnuda
ahora que ya no me esperas
hembra mía
hembra mía
duelen tanto los planetas
de esa noche que respiras
hembra mía

Cuando te pienso desnuda
en otro abrazo, perversa
hembra mía
hembra mía
qué sabrán las sordas piedras
que se ríen y me miran
hembra mía

Hello From Mars


Hello From Mars
Composer(s): Martinš Freimanis - Lauris Reiniks
First performance by: F.L.Y. - 2003



Time would pass me by if I
Had never asked you why
Your eyes were open wide
That day you saw me cry

I'm not that kind of girl
Who only dreams of pearls
Just give me wings of love
And make it real

'Cause I'm not afraid of a blade
That we need to cross today
But I'm scared to be shared
By someone else

'Cause this is gonna be
The day that we will meet
When heaven comes so down to earth
To say hello from Mars

My emotions take me high
They seem to reach the sky
I still believe we try
To hit the ground or fly

I'm not afraid of a blade
That we need to cross today
But I'm scared to be shared
By someone else

'Cause this is gonna be
The day that we will meet
When heaven comes so down to earth
To say hello from Mars

'Cause this is gonna be
The day that we will meet
When heaven comes so down to earth
To say hello from Mars

Life is a mystery
Like a perfect harmony
No one knows the day when love
Will come and set you free

'Cause this is gonna be
The day that we will meet
When heaven comes so down to earth
To say hello from Mars

'Cause this is gonna be
The day that we will meet
When heaven comes so down to earth
To say hello from Mars

Spring In Maine


Spring In Maine
Composer(s): Steve Allen - Carolyn Leigh
Performer(s): Margaret Whiting
and multiple other artists



I remember Spring in Maine
The gust of rain, that country lane, and you
I remember fragrant pines
That bear the signs of Valentine's we drew

How you kissed me
And how we laughed those windy afternoons
Racing on the dunes
Like a pair of loons

I recall what might have been
And I recall the pain of coming back another year
To find that Springtime in the State of Maine
Is mainly a state of mind

How you kissed me
And how we laughed those windy afternoons
Racing on the dunes
Like a pair of loons

I recall what might have been
And I recall the pain of coming back another year
To find that Springtime in the State of Maine
Is mainly a state of mind

Helplessly Hoping


Helplessly Hoping
Composer(s): Stephen Stills
Performer(s): Crosby, Stills & Nash;
and various other artists



Helplessly hoping
Her harlequin hovers nearby
Awaiting a word
Gasping at glimpses
Of gentle true spirit
He runs, wishing he could fly
Only to trip at the sound of good-bye

Wordlessly watching
He waits by the window
And wonders
At the empty place inside
Heartlessly helping himself to her bad dreams
He worries
Did he hear a good-bye? Or even hello?

They are one person
They are two alone
They are three together
They are for each other

Stand by the stairway
You'll see something
Certain to tell you confusion has its cost
Love isn't lying
It's loose in a lady who lingers
Saying she is lost
And choking on hello

They are one person
They are two alone
They are three together
They are for each other

Monts Et Merveilles


Monts Et Merveilles
Composer(s): Hocine Hallaf
First performance by: Louisa Baileche - 2003



Rien n'est plus comme avant
Depuis qu'on s'est perdu
Les rivières, l'océan
Toutes les mers se sont tues
Et la terre, et la terre
Pour moi ne tourne plus
J'interroge le ciel
Comme un ange déçu

Oh mon amour
Où es-tu mon amour?

J'ai connu la joie et puis la douleur
J'étais avec toi, je suis sans demeure
Je sais qu'il faudrait ne plus en parler
Au moins essayer un peu d'oublier

On s'était promis des monts et merveilles
Aucun jour de pluie, seulement du soleil
Je sais qu'il faudrait ne plus en parler
Et moi, j'ai pas fini de t'aimer

Oui, je connais mon coeur
Je le sais à l'affût
Un souvenir, même un leurre
Et tout le sang reflux
Et la terre, et la terre
Pour moi ne tourne plus
Je suis nue et sans ailes
Comme un ange déchu

Oh mon amour
Où es-tu mon amour?

J'ai connu la joie et puis la douleur
J'étais avec toi, je suis sans demeure
Je sais qu'il faudrait ne plus en parler
Au moins essayer un peu d'oublier

On s'était promis des monts et merveilles
Aucun jour de pluie, seulement du soleil
Je sais qu'il faudrait ne plus en parler
Au moins essayer un peu d'oublier

Les monts et merveilles
Seulement du soleil
Ne plus en parler
Un peu oublier

Des monts et merveilles
Seulement du soleil
Ne plus en parler
Et moi j'ai pas fini de t'aimer

Helpless Dancer


Helpless Dancer
Composer(s): Pete Townsend
Performer(s): The Who



[Roger's theme]
When a man is running from his boss
Who hold a gun that fires "cost"
And people die from being cold
Or left alone because they're old
And bombs are dropped on fighting cats
And children's dreams are run with rats
If you complain you disappear
Just like the lesbians and queers
No one can love without the grace
Of some unseen and distant face
And you get beaten up by blacks
Who though they worked still got the sack
And when your soul tells you to hide
Your very right to die denied
And in the battle on the streets
You fight computers and receipts
And when a man is trying to change
But only causes further pain
You realize that all along
Something in us going wrong...

You stop dancing

Spring Fever


Spring Fever
Composer(s): Fields - McHugh - Shirl Milete
Performer(s): Loretta Lynn



Last night he took me in his arms
And held me tenderly
He said: "I don't know what's got into you
"But I'm lovin' what I see"
I hid my shame and tried to say
The words I longed dreamed of
But instead of saying: "Set me free"
I whispered: "I'm in love"

I said: "I guess it's Spring fever in the middle of Winter
"I hear bird singin', an' I feel the warm sunshine too
I said: "I guess it's Spring fever in the middle of Winter
"That makes the warm of glowing love"
But I just couldn't tell him it was someone new

I tried to make you understand
The reasons I can't go
You love is fresh and new, but his love's true
It's had time to grow
And even though he may no longer
Keep me satisfied
Don't you know he's still got Spring and Fall
And Summer on his side

I said: "I guess it's Spring fever in the middle of Winter
"I hear bird singin', an' I feel the warm sunshine too
I said: "I guess it's Spring fever in the middle of Winter
"That makes the warm of glowing love"
But I just couldn't tell him it was someone new

Helpless Automation


Helpless Automation
Composer(s): Greg Ham
Performer(s): Men At Work



I stay in my room
All alone in the gloom
What need I of light?
Machines they can see in the night
And I feel no pain
Metal heart and a metal brain
But something is wrong
'cause I still feel that signal coming in so

I stand at your door
I guess I'll wait a moment more
Your hall light comes on
And now my turn to fire upon
But I wheel away
Defer my plight, for another day
To dream of your face
But a video scren takes its place

Hey, oh it's true
I'm a helpless automaton
Make an ultimatum to you
Hey, it's true
Machin'ry in my pocket, I've even got a docket from you

I went to the man, I told him a robot is what I am
But he just smiled, said I was a fractious child
Distrusted not Rusted
That's why I feel so disgusted
But I know he's wrong, 'cause I haven't felt this way for very long

Hey, it's true,
I'm a helpless automaton, make an ultimatum to you
Hey, it's true
Machin'ry in my pocket, I've even got a docket from you
It's true
I'm a helpless automaton, make an ultimatum to you
It's true
Machin'ry in my pocket, I've even got a docket from you
From you
From you
From you

I'm Not Afraid To Move On


I'm Not Afraid To Move On
Composer(s): Arve Furset - VJ Strøm
First performance by: Jostein Hasselgård - 2003



One moment out of time
Someone finds a secret waiting behind
Knowing there's an end to a glory
End to a story so good, so divine

Heart, listen to your beating
Never gonna stop unless there's a doubt
Never speak to someone that knows you
More than yourself and the ghost that you hide

'Cause I'm in love with a beautiful girl
She's the one from the magical world
And I hold her now, when the rain starts to fall
I'm not afraid to move on

Lay down with someone strange
Dare to be the same, as always in time
Slowly seek the end and its glory
Worry to see if it's gone deep inside

'Cause I'm in love with a beautiful girl
She's the one from the magical world
And I hold her now, when the rain starts to fall
I'm not afraid (I'm not afraid)
I'm not afraid to move on

I'm alone when the ghosts start to haunt
I'm alone, but I know

I'm in love with a beautiful girl
She's the one from the magical world
And I hold her now, when the rain starts to fall
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid to move on

Helpless


Helpless
Composer(s): Neil Young
Performer(s): Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young



There's a town in South Ontario
Whose dream comfort men redisperse
And in my mind I still need a place to go
All my changes were there
Blue, blue windows behind the stars
Yellow moon on the rise
Big birds flying across the sky
Throwing shadows on our eyes

Leave us helpless, helpless, helpless
They can still hear me now
The chains are locked and tied across the door
They sing with me somehow

Blue, blue windows behind the stars
Yellow moon on the rise
Big birds flying across the sky
Throwing shadows on our eyes

Leave us helpless, helpless, helpless
Helpless, helpless, helpless
Helpless, helpless, helpless
Helpless, helpless, helpless
Helpless, helpless, helpless.....

Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most


Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most
Composer(s): Tommy Wolf - Fran Landesman
First performance by: Tommy Wolf - 1955
Covered by multiple other artists



Once I was a sentimental thing
Throw my heart away each Spring
Now a Spring romance
Hasn't got a chance
Promised my first dance to Winter
All I've got to show's a splinter
For my little fling

Spring, this year has got me feeling like a horse
That never left the post
I lay in my room
Starring up at the ceiling
Spring can really hang you up the most

Morning kiss wakes trees and flower
And to them my life
To drink a toast I walk in the park
Just to kill those lonely hours
Spring can really hang you up the most

All afternoon
Those birds tweet-a-tweet I know their tune
This is love this is it
Heard it before
And I know the score
And I decide that love is a bore
Love seem sure around the new year
Now it's April

Love is just a ghost
Spring arrived on time
But what became of you, dear
Spring can really hang you up the most
Spring can really hang you up the most

Spring is here
There's no mistaken
Robins build their nest from coast to coast
My heart tries the same
So they won't hear it breaking
Spring can really hang you up the most

College boys are riding somewhere
... tender passion there it grows
But I'm on the shelf with last years easter bonnet
Spring can really hang you up the most

Love came my way
I'm holding the last
We had our day
Now that's all in the past
Spring came along
A season of song
For love's sweet promise
But something went wrong
Doctor's once prescribed a tonic
Sulfur and molasses was the dose
Didn't help me a bit
My condition must be chronic
Spring can really hang you up the most

All alone, the party's over
Winter was a gracious host
But when you keep praying
For snow to hide the clover
Spring can really hang you up the most
