Love Or Leave
Love Or Leave
Composer(s): Julija Ritcik
First performance by: 4Fun - 2007
Stars in the sky
When the shadows fall, when the sunlight dies
Empty streets are filled with the pale lamplight
We are just two lonely shades walking in the night
Words lose their sense
When I feel you near, when I touch your hands
I'm trying not to think that at break of dawn
You'll be gone and I'll be lost, numb and all alone
When the morning comes, I'm all alone
Left to live another day, in joy or sadness, on my own
When the morning comes, I'm all alone
Every time at break of dawn
Weak and unwise
I betray all fears that I should disguise
Melting in your arms, I fail to realise
Why the mornings always change the colour of your eyes
When the morning comes, I'm all alone
Every time at break of dawn
Love or leave, I'm with and without you
How come I am up to this senseless game?
How could I stop thinking about you?
Love or leave, don't play with my heart again
Love or leave, I'm with and without you
How come I am up to this senseless game?
How could I stop thinking about you?
Hey... love or leave, don't play with my heart again

Hitch A Ride
Hitch A Ride
Composer(s): Tom Scholz
Performer(s): Boston; Smokin'
Day is night in New York City
Smoke, like water, runs inside
Steel idle trees to pity
Every living things that's died
Gonna hitch a ride
Head for the other side
Leave it all behind
Never change my mind
Gonna sail away
Sun lights another day
Freedom on my mind
Carry me away for the last time
Oh yeah
Life is like the coldest winter
People freeze the tears I cry
Words of hail their minds are into
I've got to crack this ice and fly
Gonna hitch a ride
Head for the other side
Leave it all behind
Never change my mind
Gonna sail away
Sun lights another day
Freedom on my mind
Carry me away for the last time
Oh yeah
Gonna hitch a ride
Head for the other side
Leave it all behind
Never change my mind
Gonna sail away
Sun lights another day
Freedom on my mind
Carry me away for the last time
Oh yeah

Stay While The Night Is Young
Stay While The Night Is Young
Composer(s): Chris Youlden
Performer(s): Savoy Brown; Thaddaeus Quince & The New Originals
Don't worry 'bout the
morning
Because the day might never
come
Don't worry 'bout the
future
Just stay while the night
is young
Don't pretend that it's your
first time
Don't pretend that it's
no fun
Don't tell me 'bout your
mother
Just stay while the night
is young
It's so easy to relax if
you try
Please don't think about the
time going by
You can tell me 'bout the
things on your mind
Just lie back and
unwind
Just experience the
moment
Instead of thinking what's
to come
Can't have the fall before
the summer
So stay while the night
is young

Unsubstantial Blues
Unsubstantial Blues
Composer(s): Magdi Rúzsa - Imre Mózsik
First performance by: Magdi Rúzsa - 2007
How many times have you fooled me and denied that
It's her who you love, and it sure isn't me?
So now that it's over, I'll try and take it sober
Leave questions unasked, remember us laughing at the broken past
God, if I could make it on without you
You're such a casual man, oh, wavin' an empty hand
I'm helpless and I'm lonely without you
Yes, you're a casual man, lendin' an empty hand
Left me breathless with nothing more to lose
I used to dream we'd take it nice and easy
Get jobs, settle down in Jameson Town
If now you could see me, you'd think twice about leaving
You said forever is the time you gonna spend around
So why did you leave me?
And why should I believe it?
You say goodbye
Oh, why, oh... why you leave me?
Said, why?
You're such a casual man, oh, wavin' an empty hand
I'm helpless and I'm lonely without you
You're such a casual man, lendin' an empty hand
Left me breathless with nothing more to lose
Casual man, lendin' an empty hand
Left me breathless with nothing more to lose
Except an evanescent unsubstantial blues

Composer(s): Percy Mayfield
Performer(s): Ray Charles
Hit the Road Jack and don't you come back
No more no more no more no more
Hit the Road Jack and don't you come back
No more
What'd you say
Old woman old woman, oh you treat me so mean
You're the meanest old woman that I ever have seen
Well I guess if you say so
I'll have to pack my things and go (that's right)
Now Baby, listen Baby, don't you treat me this-a way
'Cause I'll be back on my feet some day
Don't care if you do, 'cause it's understood
You got no money, and you just ain't no good
Well I guess if you say so
I'll have to pack my things and go (that's right)
Well ...
Uh, what you say?
I didn't understand you
You can't mean that ...
Aw now Baby
Please
What you trying to do to me!?

Hit The Ground Running
Hit The Ground Running
Composer(s): Tim Finn
Performer(s): Tim Finn
San Francisco New York City
strangely silent strangely empty
His graffiti filled the subway
But where's my brother
He could keep you up for hours
in a town of wilting flowers
I can more or less continue my life
I can give in or I can try
Hit the ground running
Hit the ground running for your life
Deadly virus so few survivors
creeps up quickly leaves you darkly
But where's my brother
when you're standing shoulder to shoulder
Fear and anger make you bolder
I can more or less continue my life
I can give in or I can try
Hit the ground running
Hit the ground running for your life
He could keep you up for hours
He could keep you up for hours
I can more or less continue my life
I can give in or I can try
Hit the ground running
Hit the ground running for your life
I can always hit the street swaying
but there's no one there to catch you when you fall
Hit the ground running
Hit the ground running for your life
I went to the river on the Lower East Side
cried and cried and cried and cried
Went to the River on the Lower East Side
I cry cry cry cry cried

Leave Me Alone (Hanna Pakarinen)
Leave Me Alone
Composer(s): Martti Vuorinen - Miikka Huttunen - Hanna Pakarinen
First performance by: Hanna Pakarinen - 2007
I have to leave, but you are still sleeping
There's nothing to say, our time has run out
You took me to bed, that's what you were seeking
But you don't even care what I am about
I wanna, I wanna wake you
Leave me alone, I wanna go home
I don't wanna see you, so leave me alone
Leave me alone, 'cause I feel like dyin'
Leave me alone, I wanna go home
The day will still come when I see you crying
'Cause you will get yours, just leave me alone
But what if I stay and wait till she comes home?
She don't even know she loves you in vain
The lies that you told will turn into sorrow
I gotta go crazy just to stay sane
I wanna, I wanna break you
Leave me alone, I wanna go home
I don't wanna see you, so leave me alone
Leave me alone, 'cause I feel like dyin'
Leave me alone, I wanna go home
The day will still come when I see you crying
'Cause you will get yours, just leave me alone
I gotta, I gotta hate you
Leave me alone, I wanna go home
I don't wanna see you, so leave me alone
Leave me alone, 'cause I feel like dyin'
Leave me alone, I wanna go home
I couldn't care less if love just lies dying
And this is goodbye, just leave me alone

Hit Somebody! (The Hockey Song)
Hit Somebody! (The Hockey Song)
Composer(s): Mitch Albom; Warren Zevon
Performer(s): Warren Zevon
He was born in Big Beaver by the borderline
He started playing hockey by the time he was nine
His dad took the hose and froze the back yard
And Little Buddy dreamed he was Rocket Richard
He grew up big and he grew up tough
He saw himself scoring for the Wings or Canucks
But he wasn't that good with a puck
Buddy's real talent was beating people up
His heart wasn't in it but the crowd ate it up
Through pee-wee's and juniors, midgets and mites
He must have racked up more than three hundred fights
A scout from the flames came down from Saskatoon
Said, "There's always room on our team for a goon
Son, we've always got room for a goon"
There were Swedes to the left of him
Russians to the right
A Czech at the blue line looking for a fight
Brains over brawn--that might work for you
But what's a Canadian farm boy to do?
What else can a farm boy from Canada do?
But what's a Canadian farm boy to do?
What else can a farm boy from Canada do?
Hit somebody! was what the crowd roared
When Buddy the goon came over the boards
"Coach," he'd say, "I wanna score goals"
The coach said, "Buddy, remember your role
The fast guys get paid, they shoot, they score
Protect them, Buddy, that's what you're here for
Protection is what you're here for
Protection--it's the stars that score
Protection--kick somebody's ass
Protection--don't put the biscuit in the basket just
Hit some, Buddy! it rang in his ears
Blood on the ice ran down through the years
The king of the goons with a box for a throne
A thousand stitches and broken bones
He never lost a fight on his icy patrol
But deep inside, Buddy only dreamed of a goal
He just wanted one damn goal
There were Swedes at the the blue line
Finns at the red
A Russian with a stick heading straight for his head
Brains over brawn--that might work for you
But what's a Canadian farm boy to do?
What else can a farm boy from Canada do?
But what's a Canadian farm boy to do?
What else can a farm boy from Canada do?
In his final season, on his final night
Buddy and a Finn goon were pegged for a fight
Thirty seconds left, the puck took a roll
And suddenly Buddy had a shot on goal
The goalie committed, Buddy picked his spot
Twenty years of waiting went into that shot
The fans jumped up, the Finn jumped too
And coldcocked Buddy on his follow through
The big man crumbled but he felt all right
'Cause the last thing he saw
was the flashing red light
He saw that heavenly light
There were Swedes to the left of him
Russians to the right
A Czech at the blue line looking for a fight
Take care of your teeth--that might work for you
But what's a Canadian farm boy to do?
What else can a farm boy from Canada do?
But what's a Canadian farm boy to do?
What else can a farm boy from Canada do?

Why don't you know, why don't you care

I'd like to make it clear
To make it crystal
To make you know at first, show at first

Hate hate hate, hate her now, yeah

Disgusting to me
Why don't you know, why don't you care

Why don't you realise?
What she did to me, meant to me
Leave me, why don't you leave me alone?
On and on and on and on and
On and on and on and on and
On and on and on and on
How much I loved her, loved her, loved her
Leave me, leave me, leave me alone
Leave me, leave me, leave me alone

Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick
Composer(s): Ian Dury; Chas Jankel
Performer(s): Ian Dury & The Blockheads
In the deserts of Sudan and the gardens of Japan
From Milan to Yucatan, ev'ry woman, ev'ry man
Hit me your rhythm stick, hit me, hit me
Je t'adore, ich liebe dich, hit me, hit me, hit me
Hit me with your rhythm stick
Hit me slowly, hit me quick

In the wilds of Borneo and the vineyards of Bordeaux
Eskimo, Arapaho, move their body to and fro
Hit me with your rhythm stick, hit me, hit me
Das ist gut, c'est fantastique, hit me, hit me, hit me
Hit me with your rhythm stick
It's nice to be a lunatic
Hit me, hit me, hit me
Hit me, hit me, hit me!
In the dock of Tiger Bay, on the road to Mandalay
From Bombay to Santa Fé, o'er the hills and far away
Hit me with your rhythm stick, hit me, hit me
C'est si bon, mm? Ist es nicht? Hit me, hit me, hit me
Hit me with your rhythm stick
Two fat persons, click, click, click
Hit me, hit me, hit me
Hit me, hit me, hit me - hit me, hit me ....

Performer(s): Andy Williams
Stay just a little while with me
Say that you'll share a smile with me
I need the touch of a friendly hand
Somehow I know that you'll understand

Soon I'll be back again with you
And when tomorrow comes
I promise you that I'll
Stay a little while
And when tomorrow comes
I promise you that I'll
Stay a little while

History Repeating
History Repeating
Composer(s): Alex Gifford
Performer(s): Shirley Bassey;
and various other artists
The word is about, there's something evolving
whatever may come, the world keeps revolving...
They say the next big thing is here
that the revolution's near
But to me it seems quite clear
that it's all just a little bit of history repeating
The newspapers shout a new style is growing
but it don't know if it's coming or going
there is fashion, there is fad
some is good, some is bad
and the joke rather sad
that it's all just a little bit of History repeating
... and I've seen it before
... and I'll see it again
... yes I've seen it before
... just little bits of history repeating
Some people don't dance, if they don't know who's singing
why ask your head, it's your hips that are swinging
Life's for us to enjoy
woman, man, girl and boy
feel the pain, feel the joy
aside set the little bits of history repeating
... just little bits of history repeating
... and I've seen it before
... and I'll see it again
... yes I've seen it before
... just little bits of history repeating

They Can't Stop The Spring
They Can't Stop The Spring
Composer(s): John Waters - Tommy Moran
First performance by: Dervish - 2007
The curtain has been raised, the wall no longer stands
And from Lisadell to Latvia, we're singing as one clan
The curtain has been raised, and Europe's all one stage
And the archipelagic icicles have melted like the cage
We don't need no party, just a party band
A continental choir singing hand in hand
They might scare the blackbird
But they cannot stop him sing
They may steal the honey
But they'll never steal the sting
They may crush the flowers
Trample every living thing
But they can't stop the spring
They might scare the blackbird
But they cannot stop him sing
They may steal the honey
But they'll never steal the sting
They may crush the flowers
And trample every living thing
But they can't stop the spring
They might scare the blackbird
But they cannot stop him sing
They may steal the honey
But they'll never steal the sting
They may crush the flowers
And trample every living thing
But they can't stop the spring
No, they can't stop the spring

História De Un Amor
((Adapted from: Histoire D'un Amour (by Luis Mariano) - 1958))
Composer(s): Carlos Eleta Almarán
Performer(s): Luis Miguel - 1994
and multiple other artists
Ya no estas mas a mi lado, corazon
En el alma solo tengo soledad
Y si ya no puedo verte
Porque Dios me hizo quererte
Para hacerme sufrir más
Siempre fuiste la razon de mi existir
Adorarte para mi fue religion
Y en tus besos yo encontraba
El calor que me brindaba
El amor, y la pasion
Historia de Amor
Es la historia de un amor
Como no hay otro igual
Que me hizo comprender
Todo el bien, todo el mal
Que le dio luz a mi vida
Apagandola despues
Ay que vida tan obscura
Sin tu amor no vivire

Stay In Your Own Back Yard (aka Mama's Little Alabama Coon)
Composer(s): Lyn Udall - Karl Kennett
Performer(s): Arthur Pryor; Dick Hyman
Ah's mama's li'l Alabama coon
And ah ain't been born very long
Ah's remember one big round moon
Ah's member singin’ one sweet song
When they took me down to the cotton field
There I tumbled and I rolled in the sun
Daddy picking cotton; mama watch me grow
This was the old song she sung
Lilac trees are bloomin’ in the garden by the gate
Mammy's at her little cabin door
Curly headed picanniny comin’ home so late
Cryin’ cuz his little heart is sore
All the children play around
With skins so white and fair
None of them with him would ever play
So mammy in her lap, took that weeping little chap
And crooned him in her kind old way
Why don't you play in your own backyard
Never mind what the white chile do
Nobody ever would want to play
With a little black coon like you
Go out and play as long as you please
But Honey don’t you cry so hard
Go out and jump on the high board fence
But stay in your own backyard
Go to sleep my little picanny
Brer fox catch you if ya don't
Slumber on the bosom of your ol' mama Jinny
Mama goin to swap yo if you don't
Ah-loo-ah-loo-ah-looah-loo-ah-loo
Underneath the sunny southern moon
Lullabye, Rockabye Mama's li'l baby
Mama's li'l Alabama Coon

História De Uma Gata
História De Uma Gata
Performer(s): Chico Buarque
Me alimentaram
Me acariciaram
Me aliciaram
Me acostumaram
O meu mundo era o apartamento
Detefon, almofada e trato
Todo dia filé-mignon
Ou mesmo um bom filé... de gato
Me diziam em casa, não tome vento
Mas é duro ficar na sua
Quando à luz da lua
Tantos gatos pela rua
Toda a noite vão cantando assim
Nós, gatos, já nascemos pobres
Porém, já nascemos livress
Senhor, senhora ou senhorio
Felino, não reconhecerás
De manhã eu voltei pra casa
Fui barrada na portaria
Sem filé e sem almofada
Por causa da cantoria
Mas agora o meu dia-a-dia
É no meio da gataria
Pela rua virando lata
Eu sou mais eu, mais gata
Numa louca serenata
Que de noite sai cantando assim
Nós, gatos, já nascemos pobres
Porém, já nascemos livress
Senhor, senhora ou senhorio
Felino, não reconhecerás
