He's Mine
Composer(s): Buck Ram; Paul Robi; Zola Taylor
Performer(s): The Platters



He's mine (yes he's really mine)
He's mine (yes he's really mine)

He's mine, he's mine, he's mine
Really mine

My baby love me so
He really lets me know
He's mine, a'really mine

He's mine, he's mine, he's mine
Really mine

My baby love me so
He really lets me know
He's mine, a'really mine

When he pets me
He's sweet and gentle
It just gets me
Honest and truly, I'm sentimental

He's mine, he's mine, he's mine
Really mine

My baby love me so
He really lets me know
He's mine, a'really mine

He's mine (yes he's really mine)
He's mine (hmm, he sure is fine)
He's mine (gotta be out of my mind)
He's mine (oh man, is he something else)
He's mine
Well, he's mine

Stairway To The Stars


Stairway To The Stars
(Adapted from: Park Avenue Fantasy - 1934)
Composer(s): Mitchell Parish - Matt Malneck - Frank Signorelli
Performer(s): Kay Kyser & his Orch. - 1939
and multiple other artists



There's a silver trail of moonlight leading upward to the sky
And the night is like a velvet lullaby
There's a heaven of blue
And we'll go there, just you and I

Let's build a stairway to the stars
And climb that stairway to the stars
With love beside us to fill the night with a song

We'll hear the sound of violins
Out yonder where the blue begins
The moon will guide us as we go drifting along

Can't we sail away on a lazy daisy petal
Over the rim of the hill?
Can't we sail away on a little dream
And settle high on the crest of a thrill?

Let's build a stairway to the stars
A lovely stairway to the stars
It would be heaven to climb to heaven with you

Can't we sail away on a lazy daisy petal
Over the rim of the hill?
Can't we sail away on a little dream
And settle high on the crest of a thrill?

Let's build a stairway to the stars
A lovely stairway to the stars
It would be heaven to climb to heaven with you

He's Home For A Little While


He's Home For A Little While
Composer(s): Ted Shapiro; Rob Goellner
Performer(s): Doris Day & Les Brown;
Duke Ellington; Anita Ellis; Dinah Shore



He's home for a little while
He's mine once again
No need to tell but it feels simply swell
With him close to me
Where he's supposed to be

He's home for a little while
I've lived for his kiss, I hit the skies
When he looks in my eyes
And my knees grow weak with bliss
He's sort of changed He's kind of different
From the boy I used to know a while ago

Strange how much he says without a word
And when he holds my hand I understand
I'm his but for ever more
He's mine, mine alone
We'll have to part
But he's close to my heart
For the little while he's home

Stay Forever (Platin)


Stay Forever
Composer(s): Simon Gomilšek - Diana Lecnik
First performance by: Platin - 2004



Ooh... hey yeah yeah

Come on, let's fly away, girl
Up on cloud number nine I'd wish to flow
You're my most precious pearl
Hmm... waiting for you, that's all I need to know

Wait and see how it's gonna be
Hold my hand, just don't let go
Birds of a feather flock together
But time will tell, people say, so

Stay forever and ever
You will always be my baby
Stay forever, I'll never hurt you
I won't make you cry, no, no, no

Stay forever, no matter what may happen
Don't give up on me
Do whatever, I'll never let go
I will catch your fall

Through our sunny and dark sides of life
Feelings like this are made to survive
What the rest of the world thinks doesn't matter
Because we know it better

Stay forever and ever
You will always be my baby
Stay forever, I'll never hurt you
I won't make you cry, no, no, no

Stay forever, no matter what may happen
Don't give up on me
Do whatever, I'll never let go
I will catch your fall

Stay forever and ever
You will always be my baby, baby
Stay forever, I'll never hurt you
I won't make you cry

Stay Forever (Hal Ketchum)


Stay Forever
Composer(s): Hal Ketchum - Benmont Tench
Performer(s): Hal Ketchum



Maybe I pray too much, maybe I'm wastin God's time
Livin without your touch, is driving me out of my mind
If you could only see, how much you matter to me
Maybe you would stay forever

Maybe I care too much, maybe I'll push you away
Maybe I'd have my doubts, if I were in your place
And if you could see inside, this achin heart of mine
Maybe you would stay forever

You don't have to go on living
With your back against the wall
Let my lovin arms surround you
I won't let you fall

And if you would trust in me, and this love of mine
We'll sail an endless sea, under a starry sky
And when the cold wind blows, we'll hold each other close
Maybe you will stay forever

And when the cold wind blows, we'll hold each other close
Baby you will stay forever

He's Got No Love


He's Got No Love
Composer(s): Chris Curtis; Mike Pender
Performer(s): The Searchers



Sometimes a man might wanna cry
Sometimes a man might wanna die
He wonders why he's standin' all alone
It's 'cause he's got no love to call his own

Sometimes a man feels oh so sad
Sometimes a man is hurt so bad
He wonders why he's feelin' sad and cries
It's 'cause he's got no love to dry his eyes

He'd give the world to know someone who'd care for him
He hopes someday someone will share their love with him

Sometimes a man might wanna cry
Sometimes a man might wanna die
He wonders why he's feelin' sad inside
It's 'cause he's got no love to stand beside

He'd give the world to know someone who'd care for him
He hopes someday someone will share their love with him

Sometimes a man feels oh so sad
Sometimes a man is hurt so bad
He wonders why he's feelin' sad inside
It's 'cause he's got no love to stand beside

He's got no love, he's got no love, he's got no love

Stairway To The Sea


Stairway To The Sea
(French & Italian Versions: Le Petit Chemin De Pierres; Scalinatèlla)
Composer(s): Enzo Bonagura - Giuseppe Cioffi - Albert Beach
Performer(s): Johnny Mathis



Deep in the night I climb the stairway to the sea
And pretend you are there beside me, so close beside me, watching the sea
I see us there upon the stairway to the sea
Where the mist softly kissed two lovers, hiding from others our love by the sea

Why try to find a new love when your voice keeps calling me?
I'm just a lonely pris'ner of the stairway to the sea
And there you'll find me waiting for the day of your return
But till that day how memories can burn

This is my prayer upon the stairway to the sea
That you soon will be there before me, whisp'ring "Adore me" there by the sea

And there you'll find me waiting for the day of your return
But till that day how memories can burn

This is my prayer upon the stairway to the sea
That you soon will be there before me, whisp'ring "Adore me" there by the sea

There by the sea
There by the sea!

He's A Tramp


He's A Tramp
Composer(s): Sonny Burke; Peggy Lee
Performer(s): Peggy Lee;
and various other artists



He's a tramp, but I love him
Breaks a new heart ev'ry day
He's a tramp, they adore him
And I only hope he'll stay that way

He's a tramp, he's a scoundrel
He's a rounder, he's a cad
He's a tramp, but I love him
Yes, and even I have got it pretty bad

You can never tell when he'll show up
He gives you plenty of trouble
I guess he's just a no 'count pup
But I wish that he were double

He's a tramp, he's a rover
And there's nothing more to say
If he's a tramp, he's a good one
And I wish that I could travel his way
Yeah, I wish that I could travel his way
Wish that I could travel his way

Foi Magia


Foi Magia
First performance by: Sofia Vitória - 2004



Eu não sei como foi
Não sei o que me deu
Mas de repente lá estava eu

Foi magia, foi magia

E lá estavas tu
A sorrir para mim
Eu nunca vi nada assim

Foi magia, foi magia

Foi magia
Quando eu te toquei e o beijo que te dei
Foi magia, naquele dia
Foi magia, naquele dia

Não sei o que me deu
Mas o que me aconteceu
Foi algo divinal

Foi magia, foi magia

Eu não sei como foi
Que me deu para tal
Eu nunca fiz nada igual

Foi magia, foi magia

Foi magia
Quando eu te toquei e o beijo que te dei
Foi magia, naquele dia
Foi magia, naquele dia

He's A Runner
Composer(s): Laura Nyro
Performer(s): Blood, Sweat & Tears;
and various other artists



He's a runner and he'll run away
Soon there'll be no man
Woman ain't been born who can make him stay
Woman get away while you can
He's a runner

He's a runner and he'll run away with the midnight train
Woman ain't been born who can make him stay
Come the judgement day, come the rain, he's a runner

There'll come the running, he knows he's got to
Don't ask him not to or why
Oh why, oh why did you leave me and run off with tomorrow?
Now I'm in chains till I die

He's a runner and he'll run away
Soon there'll be no man
Woman ain't been born who can make him stay
Woman get away while you can
He's a runner
He's a runner and he's got to run, he's got to run away
He's a runner

Stairway To Heaven (Rolf Harris)


Stairway To Heaven
Composer(s): Robert Plant - Jimmy Page - Rolf Harris
Performer(s): Rolf Harris



There's an old Australian stockman, er, rock band
Trying, but dying
They get themselves up onto their collective elbows
Revert to their sixties instrumentation
And they try again

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
All together now, and she's buying a stairway to heaven
When she gets there she knows, if those stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for
All together now, with a word she can get what she came for

Ooh and it makes me wonder
(How does it affect you blokes?) Ooh and it makes us wonder
(That's interesting that, yeah)

There's a sign on the wall, but she wants to be sure
'Cos you know words sometimes have two meanings
All together now, 'cos you know words sometimes have two meanings

(A lot of words have two meanings
Um, like in this song the word to buy
Buying a stairway to heaven, bought
(pause) oh no, that's brought isn't it
Well, er, there's lots of words have two meanings)

In the tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven
All together now, sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven

(Miss Given? Just change instruments now
Thank you very much
Miss Given ladies and gentlemen
Isn't it nice to have your name mentioned in the song?
Isn't that good
Lovely lady)

Good one

Can I change instruments again?
Thank you

There's a lady I'm sure that I've mentioned before (yes I did, yes)
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
All together now, and she's buying a stairway to heaven

Ooh and it makes me wonder
Ooh and it makes us wonder
Ooh and it makes us wonder
It makes us wonder

He's A Rebel


He's A Rebel
Composer(s): Gene Pitney
Performer(s): The Crystals



See the way he walks down the street
Watch the way he shuffles his feet
How he holds his head up high
When he goes walking by-y-y-y-y-y
He's my guy
When he holds my hand I'm so proud
'Cos he's not just one of the crowd
I bet he's always the one
To try the things I've never done
and just because of that they will say -- Hey!

He's a rebel and he'll never ever be - any good
He's a rebel 'cos he never ever does - what he should
And just because he doesn't do what - everybody else does
That's no reason why I can't give him all my love

He is always good to me - always treats me tenderly
He's not a rebel, no-no-no
He's not a rebel, no-no-no - to me-e-e-e

If they don't like him that way
They won't like me after today
I'll be standing right by his side - when they say

He's a rebel and he'll never ever be - any good
He's a rebel 'cos he never ever does - what he should
and just because he doesn't do what - everybody else does
That's no reason why - we can't share a love

He is always good to me - always treats me tenderly
He's not a rebel, no-no-no
He's not a rebel, no-no-no - to me-e-e-e
(he's not a rebel - no-no-no)
No-no-no
(he's not a rebel - no-no-no)
(he's not a rebel - no-no-no)
No-no-no
(he's not a rebel - no-no-no)

Well-a well-a well-a heavenly angel I want you for my girl

Gonna leave the world behind
Every day in a heavenly way
You're gonna drive me outta my mind

I'll climb to the highest star
I'll build a stairway to heaven
'Cause heaven is where you are

I'll build a stairway to heaven
'Cause heaven is where you are
Climb up way up high

Herring Croon


Herring Croon
Composer(s): Gordon Bok
Performer(s): Gordon Bok



Where do you go, little herring?
What do you see, tail-and-fin?
"Blue and green, cold and dark
Seaweed growing high
Hills a hundred fathom deep
Where the dead men lie
Dogfish eyes and mackerels' eyes
And they hunger after me
Net or weir, I don't care
Catch me if you can"

Where do you go, little boat?
(Tar and timber, plank and sail)
"I go to green bays
Lift them under me
Cold grey combing seas
Come to bury me
Rocky jaws and stony claws
And they hunger after me
Harbors cold and deep and bold
Wish that I could see"

What do you see, fisherman?
(Poor old sailor, blood and bone)
"Mackerel skies, mares' tales
Reef and furl and steer
Poor haul and hungry days
Rotten line and gear
Snow wind and winter gales
And they hunger after me
Net or weir, I don't care
Catch you if I can

Where do you go, little herring?
What do you see, tail-and-fin?
"Blue and green, cold and dark
Seaweed growing high
Hills a hundred fathom deep
Where the dead men lie
Dogfish eyes and mackerels' eyes
And they hunger after me
Net or weir, I don't care
Catch me if you can"

Stairway To Heaven (Led Zeppelin)


Stairway To Heaven
Composer(s): Robert Plant - Jimmy Page
First release by: Led Zeppelin - 1971
Covered by multiple other artists



There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
And when she gets there she knows if the stores are closed
With a word she can get what she came for

Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
And you know sometimes words have two meanings
In the tree by the brook there's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven

Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

There's a feeling I get when I look to the west
And my spirit is crying for leaving
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who stand looking

Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

And it's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
And the forest will echo with laughter

And it makes me wonder
If there's a bustle in your hedgerow
Don't be alarmed now
It's just a spring clean for the May Queen

Yes there are two paths you can go by
but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on

Your head is humming and it won't go because you don't know
The piper's calling you to join him
Dear lady can't you hear the wind blow and did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our souls
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll
Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
And when she gets there she knows if the stores are closed
With a word she can get what she came for

And she's buying a stairway to heaven, uh uh uh

Heroin


Heroin
Composer(s): Lou Reed
Performer(s): Lou Reed



I don’t know just where I’m going
But I’m goin’ to try for the kingdom if I can
’cause it makes me feel like I’m a man
When I put a spike into my vein
Then I tell you things aren’t quite the same

When I’m rushing on my run
And I feel just like jesus’ son
And I guess I just don’t know
And I guess that I just don’t know

I have made very big decision
I’m goin’ to try to nullify my life
’cause when the blood begins to flow
When it shoots up the dropper’s neck
When I’m closing in on death

You can’t help me not you guys
All you sweet girls with all your sweet talk
You can all go take a walk
And I guess I just don’t know
And I guess I just don’t know

I wish that I was born a thousand years ago
I wish that I’d sailed the darkened seas
On a great big clipper ship
Going from this land here to that
I put on a sailor’s suit and cap

Away from the big city
Where a man cannot be free
Of all the evils in this town
And of himself and those around
Oh, and I guess I just don’t know
Oh, and I guess I just don’t know

Heroin, be the death of me
Heroin, it’s my wife and it’s my life
Because a mainer to my vein
Leads to a center in my head
And then I’m better off than dead

When the smack begins to flow
Then I really don’t care anymore
About all the jim-jims in this town
And everybody putting everybody else down
And all of the politicians makin’ crazy sounds
All the dead bodies piled up in mounds, yeah

Wow, that heroin is in my blood
And the blood is in my head
Yeah, the god’s good as dead
Ooohhh, God that I’m not aware
I just don’t care
And I guess I just don’t know
And I guess I just don’t know

Notre Planète


Notre Planète
First performance by: Märyon - 2004



Prenez soin de notre planète
Il y a tant de choses à sauver
La folie des hommes, les tempêtes
L'ont abîmée

Qui se souvient de rivages vierges?
Et des paradis blancs?
Qui se souvient des océans bleus?
Des baleines et leurs chants?

Dans ce monde ou plus rien n'est sacré
Si loin de nos valeurs
Avant que le désert n'efface
Nos rêves de couleurs

Prenez soin de notre planète
Il y a tant de choses à sauver
Que la folie des hommes s'arrête
Que nos enfants puissent rêver

Les yeux tournés vers les étoiles
Leurs mains tendues vers le ciel
Que les vents emportent leurs voiles
Que nos pas guident leurs ailes

On a construit des prisons de verre
Sur des forêts de cendres
On a transformé notre univers
Sans chercher à comprendre

Sur nos plages coule de l'encre
C'est le sang de la terre
Que les hommes qui nous commandent
Entendent nos prières

Nous, on rêve d'un paradis sur terre
On rêve

Les yeux tournés vers les étoiles
Leurs mains tendues vers le ciel
Que les vents emportent leurs voiles
Que nos pas guident leurs ailes

Prenez soin de notre planète

Heroes And Villains


Heroes And Villains
Composer(s): Brian Wilson; Van Dyke Parks
Performer(s): The Beach Boys



I've been in this town so long that back in the city
I've been taken for lost and gone
And unknown for a long long time

Fell in love years ago
With an innocent girl
From the Spanish and Indian home
Home of the heroes and villains

Once at night Catillian squared the fight
And she was right in the rain of the bullets that eventually brought her down
But she's still dancing in the night
Unafraid of what a dude'll do in a town full of heroes and villains

Heroes and villains
Just see what you've done

Heroes and villains
Just see what you've done

Stand or fall I know there
Shall be peace in the valley
And it's all an affair
Of my life with the heroes and villains

My children were raised
You know they suddenly rise
They started slow long ago
Head to toe healthy weathy and wise

I've been in this town so long
So long to the city
I'm fit with the stuff
To ride in the rough
And sunny down snuff I'm alright
By the heroes and

Heroes and villains
Just see what you've done

Heroes and villains
Just see what you've done
