Heroes And Ladies
Heroes And Ladies
Composer(s): Nanci Nevins
Performer(s): Sweetwater
Open a story book
Turn to the end
Almost always the hero and his lady
Live happily ever after again
Go to a movie and if you
stay to the end
almost always the hero and his lady
live happily ever after again
Chorus:
But we all can't be heroes and ladies
And the good guy can't always win
'Cuz life's not a book and love's not a movie
And we don't always stay to the end
Story books are make believe
Movies aren't real friends
Playing those parts for each other
Did we miss what might have been?
My heart says you're my dream man
I feel like your silver queen
Please don't tell me the ending
Let's just play the next scene
Chorus:
Now our movie is over
The lights are on again
Now this hero and his lady
Have faded away with the end
'Cuz we all can't be heroes and ladies
And the good guy can't always win
'Cuz life's not a book and love's not a movie...
We all can't be heroes and ladies
And the good guy can't always win
'Cuz life's not a book and love's not a movie
And we don't always stay to the end
You didn't stay to the end
To the end

What's Happened To Your Love?
What's Happened To Your Love?
Composer(s): Michalis Antonious - Linas Adomaitis - Camden-MS
First performance by: Linas & Simona - 2004
What's happened to your love?
What's happened to my love?
We've been together for so long
But now the feeling's gone
What's happened to your love?
What's happened to my love?
We've been together for so long
But now the feeling's gone
But now the feeling's gone
Could you give me one more try?
I will never make you cry
Yes, I've made mistakes before
Give your hand, let's go for more
Oh baby, you came back again
Your eyes are shining like a flame
I thought that I forgot your touch
But now I love you so much
What's happened to your love?
What's happened to my love?
We've been together for so long
But now the feeling's gone
What's happened to your love?
What's happened to my love?
We've been together for so long
But now the feeling's gone
But now the feeling's gone
I do remember your first words
Silence breaking down my heart
I wanna dream about sky blue
If I can, darling, stay with you
Let's walk, we did it for the first time
Along the wavy sea shoreline
Please smile, you always did to me, and just to me
Oh baby, tell, what do you feel?
What's happened to your love?
What's happened to my love?
We've been together for so long
But now the feeling's gone
What's happened to your love?
What's happened to my love?
We've been together for so long
But now the feeling's gone
But now the feeling's gone

Heroes
Heroes
Composer(s): David Bowie; Brian Eno
Performer(s): David Bowie
I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can beat them, just for one day
We can be Heroes, just for one day
And you, you can be mean
And I, I'll drink all the time
'Cause we're lovers, and that is a fact
Yes we're lovers, and that is that
Though nothing, will keep us together
We could steal time, just for one day
We can be Heroes, for ever and ever
What d'you say?
I, I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim
Though nothing, nothing will keep us together
We can beat them, for ever and ever
Oh we can be Heroes, just for one day
I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can be Heroes, just for one day
We can be us, just for one day
I, I can remember (I remember)
Standing, by the wall (by the wall)
And the guns, shot above our heads (over our heads)
And we kissed, as though nothing could fall (nothing could fall)
And the shame, was on the other side
Oh we can beat them, for ever and ever
Then we could be Heroes, just for one day
We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
Just for one day
We can be Heroes
We're nothing, and nothing will help us
Maybe we're lying, then you better not stay
But we could be safer, just for one day
Oh-oh-oh-ohh, oh-oh-oh-ohh

Stairs
Stairs
Composer(s): Peter Barakan - Yukihiro Takahashi
Performer(s): Yellow Magic Orch.
In the shadows by the wall
The stairs go on forever
They could be steel
They could be stone
They could even be paper
Are they leading up or down?
The stairs go on forever
Crowds of people in confusion
Are they moving in or out?
Are they moving, are they still?
The stairs go on forever
People going up stairs
People going down stairs
Ascending people
Descending people

Hero (Mariah Carey)
Hero
(Spanish Version: Heroe - 1993)
Composer(s): Walter Afanasieff - Mariah Carey
First release by: Mariah Carey - 1993
Covered by multiple other artists
There's a hero if you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid of what you are
There's an answer if you reach into your soul
and the sorrow that you know will melt away
And then a hero comes along
with the strength to carry on
and you cast your fears aside
and you know you can survive
So, when you feel like hope is gone
look inside you and be strong
and you'll finally see the truth
that a hero lies in you
It's a long road when you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand for you to hold
You can find love if you search within yourself
and the emptiness you felt will disappear
And then a hero comes along
with the strength to carry on
and you cast your fears aside
and you know you can survive
So, when you feel like hope is gone
look inside you and be strong
and you'll finally see the truth
that a hero lies in you
oh, ohhh, Lord knows dreams are hard to follow
But don't let anyone tear them away
Hold on, there will be tomorrow
In time you'll find the way
And then a hero comes along
with the strength to carry on
and you cast your fears aside
and you know you can survive
So, when you feel like hope is gone
look inside you and be strong
and you'll finally see the truth
that a hero lies in you
that a hero lies in ... you
mmmm that a hero lies in.....you

Takes 2 To Tango
Takes 2 To Tango
Composer(s): Mika Toivanen - Jari Sillanpää
Performer(s): Jari Sillanpää - 2004
Time to leave, time to feel
Harp and horn, music's born
Two worlds meet
Hungry sharing a fantasy
Tail and wing, soon will swing
Dusk till dawn, let the show just begin
In a place where pardon stand
Giving feast on sacred land
The angels and devils meet at night (Hallelujah!)
They dance, they caress each other holding on so tight
The angels and demons side by side (Hallelujah!)
They dance until morning light
When nobody else is in sight
Takes two to tango, tango
Purified, justified
Times of lust (Times of lust)
Times of trust (Times of trust)
Praising dark
For one moment in paradise
Passion flows, eager grows
Time runs out, it's the end of the show
When the morning is at hand
Time has come to show their stand
The angels and devils meet at night (Hallelujah!)
They dance, they caress each other holding on so tight
The angels and demons side by side (Hallelujah!)
They dance until morning light
When nobody else is in sight
Takes two to tango
Angels falling, hear them calling
Demons rising, they're disguising
Hearts are beating, secret meeting
Just for the moment in love
The angels and devils meet at night (Ha..., ha..., hallelujah!)
They dance, they caress each other holding on so tight
The angels and demons side by side (Ha..., ha..., hallelujah!)
They dance until morning light
When nobody else is in sight
Takes two to tango!

Hero (David Crosby)
Hero
Composer(s): Phil Collins; David Crosby
Performer(s): David Crosby
It was one of those great stories
that you can't put down at night
The hero knew what he had to do
and he wasn't afraid to fight
The villain goes to jail
while the hero goes free
I wish it were that simple for me
And the reason that she loved him
was the reason I loved him too
And he never wondered what was right or wrong
he just knew, he just knew
Shadow and shape mixed together at dawn
but by the time you'd catch them to some place he's gone
So we sort through the pieces, my friends and I
searching through the darkness to find
The breaks in the sky
And the reason that she loved him
was the reason I loved him too
And he never wondered what was right or wrong
he just knew, he just knew
And we wonder, yes we wonder
how do you make sense of this
when the hero kills the villain
and wins his kiss, wins his kiss
Well, it was one of those great stories
that you can't put down at night
The hero knew what he had to do
and he wasn't afraid to fight
The villain goes to jail
while the hero goes free
I wish it were that simple for me
I wish it were that simple for me

Stagger Lee (aka Stagolee - Stag-O-Lee - Stackolee - Stack-A-Lee)
(Adapted from: Stag' Lee - 1895)
(Danish Version: Store Lars - 1969)
Composer(s): Harold Logan - Lloyd Price
Performer(s): Lloyd Price - 1958
and multiple other artists
The night was clear and the moon was yellow
And the leaves came tumbling down
I was standing on the corner when I heard my bulldog bark
He was barkin´ at the two men who were gamblin´ in the dark
It was Stagger Lee and Billy, two men who gambled late
Stagger Lee threw seven, Billy swore that he threw eight
Stagger Lee told Billy, ´I can´t let you go with that
You have won all my money and my brand new stetson hat´
Stagger Lee went home and he got his forty-four
Said ´I´m goin´ to the barroom just to pay that debt I owe´
Go Stagger Lee!
Stagger Lee went to the barroom and he stood across the barroom door
He said ´Nobody move´ and he pulled his forty-four
´Stagger Lee´, cried Billy, ´Oh, please don´t take my life
I got three little children and a very sickly wife´
(Go Stagger Lee)
Stagger Lee shot Billy, oh he shot that poor boy so bad
Till the bullet came through Billy and it broke the bartender´s glass
Look out Stagger Lee!

Hernando's Hideaway
Hernando's Hideaway
Composer(s): Richard Adler; Jerry Ross
Performer(s): Archie Bleyer;
and various other artists
I know a dark secluded place
A place where no one knows your face
A glass of wine, a fast embrace
It’s called Hernando’s Hideaway
Ole!
All you see are silhouettes
And all you hear are castanets
And no one cares how late it gets
Not at Hernando’s Hideaway
Ole!
At the golden finger bowl or anyplace you go
You’ll meet your uncle Max and everyone you know
But if you are sitting close and making love to me
you may take my heart, you may take my soul, but not my key
Just knock three times and whisper low
That you and I were sent by Joe
Then strike a match and you will know
You’re in Hernando’s Hideaway
Ole!

Shame On You
Shame On You
Composer(s): Ivar Lind Greiner - Iben Plesner
First performance by: Tomas Thordarson - 2004
(Nana nana nanana nana nana...)
(Nana nana nanana nana na...)
(Nanana nanana nana nana...)
We've been together for the longest time
I always thought that I could read your mind
But lately we've been like two actors in a show
And I wonder, where's the loving that we used to know?
I hoped that everything would be all right
That you would be forever by my side
But all the feelings and the luck we used to share
Now it seems to me it's gone and that you just don't care
You're my fire, you're my desire, shame on you
Can't you see that we have gone too far?
Don't you leave me, don't you deceive me, shame on you
I just want to be where you are
You know I love you, though you cheat on me
You try to hide it, but it's plain to see
Make up your mind, 'cause I can't take it anymore
Won't you turn to me and tell me what you're waiting for?
You're my fire, you're my desire, shame on you
Can't you see that we have gone too far?
Don't you leave me, don't you deceive me, shame on you
I just want to be where you are
(Nana nana nanana nana nana...)
(Nana nana nanana nana na...)
(Nanana nanana nana nana...)
You're my fire, you're my desire, shame on you
Can't you see that we have gone too far?
Don't you leave me, don't you deceive me, shame on you
I just want to be where you are
You're my fire, you're my desire, shame on you
Can't you see that we have gone too far?
Don't you leave me, don't you deceive me, shame on you
I just want to be where you are
You're my fire, you're my desire, shame on you
Can't you see that we have gone too far?
Don't you leave me, don't you deceive me, shame on you
I just want to be where you are

Herminda De La Victoria
Herminda De La Victoria
Composer(s): Victor Jara; Cantamaranto
Performer(s): Victor Jara
Herminda de la Victoria
murio sin haber luchado
derecho se fue a la gloria
con el pecho atravezado
Las balas de los mandados
mataron a la inocente
lloraban madres y hermanos
en el medio de la gente
Hermanos se hicieron todos
hermanos en la desgracia
peleando contra los lobos
peleando por una casa
Herminda de la Victoria
nacio en el medio del barro
crecio como mariposa
en un terreno tomado
Hicimos la poblacion
y han llovido tres inviernos
Herminda en el corazon
guardaremos tu recuerdo

Stages
Stages
Composer(s): Frank Beard - Billy Gibbons - Dusty Hill
Performer(s): ZZ Top
It's a fine time to fall in love with you
I ain't got a single thing to do
It happened before I knew what was going on
I fell out and knew that I was gone
Stages keep on changing
stages rearranging love
Then you left me standing all alone
I couldn't even get you on the phone
Were you just confused and didn't know
if you should stay or if you had to go?
Stages keep on changing
stages rearranging love
Now you're back and say you're gonna stay
I wouldn't have it any other way
Tell me it's for real and let me know
why does lovin' have to come and go
Stages keep on changing
stages rearranging love

My Galileo
My Galileo
Composer(s): Alexandra Kirsanova - Konstantin Drapezo - Alexey Solomakha
First performance by: Alexandra & Konstantin - 2004
I'm no stay-at-home, and heady
Is my quest and venture mode
And the road is there to tread it
All-dimensional road
Round I go, desperate to reach new horizons
Circles grow, but you...
You're my pier, centre in my life
My Galileo - I rotate to you, I'm here
Wind is high and branches rattle
On the shuttered window pane
And the dust has not yet settled
I'm leavin' again
Round I go, desperate to reach new horizons
Circles grow, but you...
You're my pier, centre in my life
My Galileo - I rotate to you, I'm here
I'm here again
(Hey la la... hey la la... hey la...)
(Hey la la... hey la la... hey la...)
My Galileo
(Hey la la... hey la la... hey la...)
(Hey la la... hey la la... hey la...)
You're my pier, centre in my life
(Hey la la... hey la la... hey la...)
My Galileo - I rotate to you, I'm here
(Hey la la... hey la la... hey la...)
I'm here again
I'm here again

Here's To The Losers
Here's To The Losers
Composer(s): Robert Wells; Jack Segal
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
Here's to those who love not too wisely
know not wisely, but too well
To the girl who sighs with envy
when she hears that wedding bell
To the guy who'd throw a party if he knew someone to call
Here's to the losers, bless them all
Here's to those who drink their dinners
when that lady doesn't show
To the girl who'll wait for kisses underneath that mistletoe
To the lonely summer lovers when the leaves begin to fall
Here's to the losers, a-bless them all
Hey, Tom, Dick and Harry, come in out of the rain
Those torches you carry must be drowned in champagne
Here's the last toast of the evening, here's to those who still believe
All the losers will be winners, all the givers shall receive
Here's to trouble-free tomorrows, may your sorrows all be small
Here's to the losers, bless them all
Hey, Tom, Dick and Harry, come in out of that rain
Those torches you carry must be drowned in champagne
Here's the last toast of the evening, here's to those who still believe
All the losers will be winners, all the givers shall receive
Here's to trouble-free tomorrows, may your sorrows all be small
Here's to the losers, here's to the losers, here's to the losers
Bless them all!

Stage Fright
Stage Fright
Composer(s): J.R. Robertson
Performer(s): The Band
Now deep in the heart of a lonely kid
Who suffered so much for what he did
They gave this ploughboy his fortune and fame
Since that day he ain't been the same
See the man with the stage fright
Just standin' up there to give it all his might
And he got caught in the spotlight
But when we get to the end
He wants to start all over again
I've got fire water right on my breath
And the doctor warned me I might catch a death
Said, "You can make it in your disguise
Just never show the fear that's in your eyes"
See the man with the stage fright
Just standin' up there to give it all his might
He got caught in the spotlight
But when we get to the end
He wants to start all over again
Now if he says that he's afraid
Take him at his word
And for the price that the poor boy has paid
He gets to sing just like a bird, oh, ooh ooh ooh
Your brow is sweatin' and your mouth gets dry
Fancy people go driftin' by
The moment of truth is right at hand
Just one more nightmare you can stand
See the man with the stage fright
Just standin' up there to give it all his might
And he got caught in the spotlight
But when we get to the end
He wants to start all over again, hmm hmm
You wanna try it once again, hmm hmm
Please don't make him stop, hmm hmm
Let him take it from the top, hmm hmm
Let him start all over again

Here's To Life
Here's To Life
Composer(s): Artie Butler; Phyllis Molinary
Performer(s): Shirley Horne
No complaints and no regrets
I still believe in chasing dreams and placing bets
But I have learned that all you give is all you get, so give it all you got
I had my share, I drank my fill, and even though I’m satisfied I’m hungry still
To see what’s down another road, beyond a hill and do it all again
So here’s to life and all the joy it brings.
Here’s to life the dreamers and their dreams
Funny how the time just flies
How love can turn from warm hellos to sad goodbyes
And leave you with the memories you’ve memorized
To keep your winters warm
There’s no yes in yesterday
And who knows what tomorrow brings or takes away
As long as I’m still in the game I want to play
For laughs, for life, for love
So here’s to life and all the joy it brings
Here’s to life, the dreamers and their dreams
May all your storms be weathered
And all that’s good get better
Here’s to life, here’s to love, here’s to you
May all your storms be weathered
And all that's good get better
Here's to life, here's to love, here's to you
