Start Living
Start Living
Performer(s): Matt Monro
You wake up and be smart
You’ll never hear those drums while you twiddle with your thumbs
So, starting today, stop your work and find more time to play
Follow me and start living
Go polish up your grin, do some things you’ve never done
Start surprising everyone, when you start to glow
You’ll be the one that they all want to know
So have fun and start living
In one wild moment of madness, you can lose your sadness
So paint a smile upon your face, like a lawyer who has won the case
Go dress in style tonight, have some fun at any price
Order champagne on the ice
Tomorrow your head may feel like lead and you’ll wish you were dead
But you have just started living
In one wild moment of madness you can lose your sadness
So paint a smile upon your face, like Perry Mason when he’s won a case
Go dress in style tonight
Have some fun at any price
Order champagne on the ice
Tomorrow your head may feel like lead and you’ll wish you were dead
But you’ve just, now you’ve just, you’ve only just
Started living
Yes, you’ve started living
You’ve just started living

Higher Love
Higher Love
Composer(s): Will Jennings; Steve Winwood
Performer(s): Steve Winwood
Think about it, there must be higher love
Down in the heart or hidden in the stars above
Without it, life is a wasted time
Look inside your heart, I’ll look inside mine
Things look so bad everywhere
In this whole world, what is fair?
We walk blind and we try to see
Falling behind in what could be
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Where’s that higher love I keep thinking of?
Worlds are turning and we’re just hanging on
Facing our fear and standing out there alone
A yearning, and it’s real to me
There must be someone who’s feeling for me
Things look so bad everywhere
In this whole world, what is fair?
We walk blind and we try to see
Falling behind in what could be
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Where’s that higher love I keep thinking of?
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring be a higher love
I could rise above on a higher love
I will wait for it
I’m not too late for it
Until then, I’ll sing my song
To cheer the night along
Bring it...oh bring it...
I could light the night up with my soul on fire
I could make the sun shine from pure desire
Let me feel that love come over me
Let me feel how strong it could be
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Where’s that higher love I keep thinking of?

Higher Ground
Higher Ground
Composer(s): Steve Dorff
Performer(s): Barbra Streisand
Walk me over
this horizon
let the sun's light
warm my face
once again the times are changin'
once again I lost my way
well the words of ancient poets
fall like dust upon my shoes
greed has robbed me of my vision
turned my heart from higher truths
so take my hand
and lift me higher
be my love and my desire
hold me safe
and honor bound
take my heart to
higher ground
I have walked
too long in darkness
I have walked
too long alone
blindly clutching
fists of diamonds
that I found were only stones
I would trade the world of ages
for a warmer hand to hold
the path of light is narrow
but it leads to streets of gold
so take my hand
and lift me higher
be my love and my desire
hold me safe
and honor bound
take my heart to
higher ground
in this world
we move through shadows
never sure
of what we see
while the truth that lies between us
come and share the truth with me
so take my hand
and lift me higher
be my love and my desire
hold me safe
and honor bound
take my heart to
higher
higher ground
hmmmmm hmm hmmmm hmmmm

Your love keeps liftin' me higher
Than I've ever been lifted before
Keep it up, which is my desire
And I'll be at your side forever more

Keeps on liftin' (Keeps on liftin' me)
Liftin' me higher and higher
I'm so glad that I finally found you
Yes, that one in a million girls
When I wrap my lovin' arms around you
Well, I'm ready to face the world
Chorus
Now, once I was downhearted
Disappointment was my closest friend
But you came and he soon departed
And I'll never see his face again

Tornerò
First performance by: Mihai Traistariu - 2006
Yeah
I'm keeping your smile on my mind every day
I'm feeling your touch on my face even while you're away
Like when was together in that dream that could've been so right, hey
Like when was together in that dream that could've been so right
Tornerò, tornerò
La mia vita ti darò
Tornerai, tornerai
Mia per sempre tu sarai
Tornerò, tornerò
La mia vita ti darò
Tornerai, tornerai
Mia per sempre tu sarai
I wonder why I should feel so empty these days
I wonder why I should fall now while you're away
We'll dance together in that dream that could've been so right, hey
We'll dance together in that dream that could've been so right
Tornerò, tornerò
La mia vita ti darò
Tornerai, tornerai
Mia per sempre tu sarai
I'm keeping your smile in my mind
I'm feeling your touch on my face
I just really miss you and I wanna kiss you

Tornerai, tornerai
Mia per sempre tu sarai
Tornerò, tornerò

High, Low And In Between
High, Low And In Between
Composer(s): Townes Van Zandt
Performer(s): Townes Van Zandt
I come from a long line
high and low and in between
same as you
hills of golden
hails of poison
time's thrown me through
and I believe I've come to learn
that turnin' round
is to become confusion
and the gold's no good for spending
and the poison's hungry waiting
What can you leave behind
when you're flyin' lightning fast
and all alone?
Only a trace, my friend
spirit of motion born
and direction grown
A trace that will not fade
in frozen skies
your journey will be
and if her shadow doesn't seem much company
who said it would be?
There is the highway
and the homemade lovin' kind
the highway's mine
and us ramblers are getting the travelling down
you fathers build with stones
that stand and shine
heaven's where you find it
and you can't
take too much with you
but daddy, don't you listen
it's just this highway talkin'
All things at our life
are brothers in the soil
and in the sky
and I believe it
with my blood
if not my eyes
I don't know why we can't
be brothers here
I know we should be
answers don't seem easy
and I'm wonderin'
if they could be

Starship Trooper
Starship Trooper
Composer(s): Jon Anderson - Steve Howe - Chris Squire
Performer(s): Yes
and multiple other artists
I. Life Seeker
Sister Bluebird flying high above
Shine your wings forward to the sun
Hide the myst'ries of life on your way
Though you've seen them, please don't say a word
What you don't know, I have never heard
Starship Trooper, go sailing on by
Catch my soul, catch the very night
Hide the moment from my eager eyes
Though you've seen them, please don't tell a soul
What you can't see, can't be very whole
Speak to me of summer, long winters longer than time can remember
Setting up of other roads, travel on in old accustomed ways
I still remember the talks by the water
the proud sons and daughters that
In the knowledge of the land, spoke to me in sweet accustomed ways
Mother life, hold firmly on to me
Catch my knowledge higher than the day
Lose as much as only you can show
Though you've seen them, please don't say a word
What I don't know, I have never shared
II. Desillusion
Loneliness is a pow'r that we possess to give or take away forever
All I know can be shown by your acceptance
of the fact there shown before you
Take what I say in a diff'rent way and it's easy
to see that this is all confusion
As I see a new day in me, I can also show if you and you may follow
Speak to me of summer, long winters longer than time can remember
Setting up of other roads, travel on in old accustomed ways
I still remember the talks by the water
the proud sons and daughters that
In the knowledge of the land, spoke to me in sweet accustomed ways
III: Wurm (instrumental)

High Winds, White Sky
High Winds, White Sky
Composer(s): Bruce Cockburn
Performer(s): Bruce Cockburn
High winds
white sky
wild birds do glide
tattered smoke fades
embers in the pipe
move like
life beginning
High winds
pyramids
glittering ring
blood of the king
daughter of the stars
you are
life beginning
The wind's travellers' tales tease the tops of the trees
the ships have all sailed to the mouth of the sea...
High winds
wheel turns
the spider spins
hands draw us in
river-scented skin
moves in
life beginning
Falsehood lies panting like a fish in the palm...

Never Let You Go (Dima Bilan)
Never Let You Go
Composer(s): Alexander Lunyev - Karen Kavaleryan - Irina Antonyan
First performance by: Dima Bilan - 2006
Heavy clouds, no rain, and every move causes pain
Ready kiss, but no love, I feel I'm torn in half
Burning look, but no heat, it's not you really need
Baby, now it's happened with us
We are dancing on broken glass
Can't stand no more
Never, never let you go
You are the one I'm searching for
Flesh of my flesh, bone of my bone
Love's carving it in the stone
Never, never let you go
Return the days we had before
Soul of my soul, blood of my blood
Love's carving it in my heart
Gentle words, no aim, it seems we're playing a game
Easy smile, but no fun, sweet music for no one
Close embrace, but no more, cold champagne we forgot to pour
Baby, now it's happened with us
We are dancing on broken glass
Can't stand no more
Never, never let you go
You are the one I'm searching for
Flesh of my flesh, bone of my bone
Love's carving it in the stone
Never, never let you go
Return the days we had before
Soul of my soul, blood of my blood
Love's carving it in my heart
Love's carving it in my heart
Ooh... baby, now it's happened with us
We are dancing on broken glass
(Can't stand no more)
Never, never let you go
You are the one I'm searching for
Flesh of my flesh, bone of my bone
Love's carving it in the stone
Never, never let you go
Return the days we had before
Soul of my soul, blood of my blood
Love's carving it in my heart
Never, never let you go
You are the one I'm searching for
Flesh of my flesh, bone of my bone
Love's carving it in the stone
Never, never let you go
Return the days we had before
Soul of my soul, blood of my blood
Love's carving it in my heart
Love's carving it in my heart

High Time
High Time
Composer(s): Garcia; Hunter
Performer(s): Grateful Dead
You told me goodbye, how was I to know
you didn't mean goodbye, you meant please don't let me go?
I was having a high time, living the good life, well I know
The wheels are muddy, got a ton of hay
now listen here, Baby, 'cause I mean what I say
I'm having a hard time, living the good life, well I know
I was losing time, I had nothing to do
no one to fight, I came to you
Wheels broke down, leader won't draw
the line is busted, the last one I saw
Tomorrow come trouble, tomorrow come pain
now don't think too hard Baby, 'cause I know what I'm saying
I could show you a high time, living the good life, don't be that way
Nothing's for certain, it could always go wrong
We could have us a high time, living the good life, well I know

Stars In Your Eyes
Stars In Your Eyes
Performer(s): Air Supply
We are civilized and free from all confusion
And yet we always worry for the things that we can't see
But now to give your love away, a miracle in motion
You know what seems invisible will never ever be disguised to me
I start to lose control
I start to lose control
I know I will remember for longer than forever
All the love and the stars in your eyes
Until my arms surround you and build the world around you
All I see are the stars in your eyes
First you hear the angels sing and then you see the wedding ring
Shining as the threads of life so secretly are woven
You know what you've found, you want to last forever
You heart has found its wings and left for never never
And then I lose control
I start to lose control
I know I will remember for longer than forever
All the love and the stars in your eyes
Until my arms surround you and build the world around you
All I see are the stars in your eyes
I know I will remember for longer than forever
All the love and the stars in your eyes
I know I will remember for longer than forever
All the love and the stars in your eyes
Until my arms surround you and build the world around you
All I see are the stars in your eyes

Just dig that scenery floating by
We're now approaching Newport, Rhode I.
We've been, for years, In Variety
But, Cholly Knickerbocker, now we're going to be

High So-ci-
High So-ci-ety
(Armstrong)
I wanna play for my former pal
He runs the local jazz festival
His name is Dexter and he's good news
But sumping kind of tells me that he's nursing the blues
(All)
In High, High So-
High So-ci-
High So-ci-ety
(Armstrong)
He's got the blues 'cause his wife, alas
Thought writing songs was beneath his class
But writing songs he'd not stop, of course
And so she flew to Vegas for a quickie divorce
(All)
In High, High So-
High So-ci-
High So-ci-ety
(Armstrong)
To make him sadder, his former wife
begins tomorrow a brand-new life
She started lately a new affair
And now the silly chick is gonna marry a square
(All)
In High So-
High So-ci-
High So-ci-ety
(Armstrong)
But, Brother Dexter, just trust your Satch
To stop that wedding and kill that match
I'll toot my trumpet to start the fun
And play in such a way that she'll come back to you, son
(All)
In High, High So-
High So-ci-

Twist Of Love
Twist Of Love
Composer(s): Niels Drevsholt
First performance by: Sidsel Ben Semmane - 2006
Once upon a time there was this guy called Johnny
He was kinda shy and so in love with Connie
But so was O'Smarty, who played it cool
The king of the party, but oh... what a fool
(What a fool)
He didn't know how to twist
He didn't know how to make a girl insist
He didn't know how to move, he didn't feel the groove
He didn't know how to twist
Twist, he didn't know how to twist
He didn't know how to move, he didn't feel the groove
He didn't know how to twist
Once upon a night there was this guy called Johnny
He was kinda high and dancing with his honey
The queen of the party proclaimed him king
While poor ol' O'Smarty was left in the ring
He didn't know how to twist
He didn't know how to make a girl insist
He didn't know how to move, he didn't feel the groove
He didn't know how to twist
Twist, he didn't know how to twist
He didn't know how to move, he didn't feel the groove
He didn't know how to twist
Hit it, Johnny
A twist of love, a twist of pain
A twist of me and you
A twist of things you can't explain
Will make your dream come true
Be sure you know how to twist
Be sure you know how to make a girl insist
Be sure you know how to move, be sure you feel the groove
Be sure you know how to twist
Oh... (Twist)
Yeah, twist
Be sure you know how to move, be sure you feel the groove
Be sure you know how to twist
Be sure you know how to move, be sure you feel the groove
Be sure you know how to twist

A Star Fell Out Of Heaven
A Star Fell Out Of Heaven
Composer(s): Mack Gordon - Harry Revel
Performer(s): Vera Lynn
and multiple other artists
There was I, all alone, gazing at a friendless sky
How could I help but sigh, romance had passed me by
There was I, all alone, my heart was sadly neglected
Then love came along so unexpectedly, for me
A star fell out of heaven, right into my arms
A star fell out of heaven, right into my dreams
And since that very moment, life is so divine
I never heard a star speak before
This one said : "Will you be mine?"
Then roses fell from heaven to be your bouquet
And dew rained down from heaven to christen the day
A miracle had happened, as they sometimes do
A star fell out of heaven and turned out to be you
Then roses fell from heaven to be your bouquet
And dew rained down from heaven to christen the day
A miracle had happened, as they sometimes do
A star fell out of heaven and turned out to be you

High Powered Love
High Powered Love
Composer(s): Tony Joe White
Performer(s): Emmylou Harris
I've been running low on inspiration
Tired of the physical intrigue
There's nothing left to imagination
Living in a world that treats love so carelessly
Don't want no smooth Tallinn' lover
I can't play the role
It just leaves me cold
I need a high powered love
I wanna feel that lightning streak
High powered love
Got to be down in the heart with me
Sometimes it's hard to keep believing
Too many pretty faces all skin deep
Now is there anyone left with teeth just a little uneven
And won't spend more time a mirror than he does with me
If you're looking for a good time
A notch on your gun
I ain't the one
I want a high powered love
Got to have intensity
High powered love
Don't start the fire if you can't take the heat
I can't turn back I'm on a mission
I know there's someone out there for me
I need a high powered love
One that'll defy gravity
High powered love
Got to be strong and keep on lifting me
Yeah I need a high powered love
I wanna feel the lightning streak
High powered love
Got to be down in the heart with me
Got to be down in the heart with me
