Holiday In Waikiki


Holiday In Waikiki
Composer(s): Ray Davies
Performer(s): The Kinks



I won a competition in a little column in my local paper
So I packed my bags and flew across the sea all on my local paper
I sailed to Hawaii in the U.S.A.
I'm just an English boy who won a holiday in Waikiki

I didn't realize it was commercialized when I unpacked my cases
Because a genuine Hawaii ukulele cost me 30 guineas
And even when I'm swimming I have to pay
I'm just an English boy who won a holiday in Waikiki
Oh yeah, yeah

Across the coral sands I saw a hula hula dancer, looking pretty
I asked her where she came from and she said to me
"I come from New York City
And my mother is Italian
And my dad's a Greek"
I'm just an English boy who won a holiday in Waikiki

It's a hooka hooka on the shiny briny on a wake a hola
And in a little shack they had a little sign that said Coca Cola
And even all the grass skirts were PVC
I'm just an English boy who won a holiday in Waikiki
Oh yeah, yeah

In Waikiki
In Waikiki

Missä Miehet Ratsastaa


Missä Miehet Ratsastaa
First performance by: Teräsbetoni - 2008



Huh – hah – huh – hah
Huh – hah – huh – hah

Olkoon myrsky sekä viima
ja tuvassa lämmin kamiina
On kunnia ja miehuullisuus
suorittaa velvollisuus

Maailma on kylmä vaikka
on ehkä lämmölläkin paikka
Kentät kutsuu sankareita
eikä suinkaan pelkureita

Missä miehet ratsastaa
Siellä lampaat ei voi laiduntaa
Missä miehet ratsastaa
Siellä kuulee susien ulvontaa

Huh – hah – huh – hah

Olkoon edessä tuhoa
ja takana lemmen lumoa
On miehellä velvollisuus
muistaa urhoollisuus

Ei kukaan voi välttää kipua
ja vain elämän virrassa lipua
Kentät kutsuu sankareita
eikä suinkaan pelkureita

Missä miehet ratsastaa
Siellä lampaat ei voi laiduntaa
Missä miehet ratsastaa
Siellä kuulee susien ulvontaa

Missä miehet, missä miehet ratsastaa
Missä miehet, missä miehet ratsastaa

Missä miehet ratsastaa
Siellä lampaat ei voi laiduntaa
Missä miehet ratsastaa
Siellä kuulee susien ulvontaa

Missä miehet ratsastaa
Siellä lampaat ei voi laiduntaa
Missä miehet ratsastaa
Siellä kuulee susien ulvontaa

Missä miehet hah – huh – hah
Missä miehet hah – huh – hah

Holiday In Spain


Holiday In Spain
Performer(s): Edmundo Ros



I’m very fond of London town, it’s true
But in the winter, I’ll admit to you
Whenever it’s a cold and foggy day
I shiver and I feel inclined to say

I’ll part with Piccadilly for any part of Chile
For Leicester Square just give me Paraguay
In Peckham I was paler, but not in Venezuela
I want a land of sunshine and ole

I’ll leave you Lord’s Pavillion
For something more Brazilian
South Kensington I’ll swap for the Sante Fe
Though Hampstead’s cool and cleaner
I’ll pass for Argentina
I want a land of sunshine and ole

With macheros, in their sombreros
I will ride the burning pampas like a breeze
Life will be sweeter with senoritas
Who can bessame as mucho as they please

The Thames and other trivia
I’ll barter for Bolivia
You have your Chelsea, I’ll have Uruguay
I’ll trade you Potters Bar, sir, for Nicaragua, sir
I want a land of sunshine and ole

But I am joking, ‘though fog is choking
I am a Londoner in spite of everything
Winter weather can’t last forever
And I want to be in London in the spring

So, goodbye caballeros, thanks for your rancheros
I’d rather be in Mayfair any day
Now I haven’t any option, I’m a cockney by adoption
So keep your land of sunshine and ole

Goodbye caballeros, senoritas, campaneros
Maybe sometime I’ll come for that holiday
To your beautiful land of sunshine and ole

Steppin' In A Slide Zone


Steppin' In A Slide Zone
Composer(s): John Lodge
First release by: The Moody Blues



I took a ride in a limousine
I took a road I'd never been
I met a stranger by the way
His coat was torn but his eyes were clear

Standing in a slide zone
Steppin' in a slide zone

He told me where a river flows
He showed me how the apple grows
He told me of a magic stream
His face was worn but his eyes were clear

Standing in a slide zone
I could be steppin' in a slide zone
Standing in a slide zone
I could be steppin' through a time zone

He went to find a shooting star
Around the bend, that's where they are
I went along just for the ride
Suddenly I began to slide

Standing in a slide zone
I could be steppin' through a time zone

The air raced by there was no sound
We drifted high above the ground
And then he said you know this place
And then a smile lit up his face

Standing in a slide zone
I could be steppin' in a slide zone
Standing in a slide zone
I could be steppin' through a time zone

I turned my head and I looked below, Slide zone...
And there was something there I know
Suddenly I began to fall
I looked around and tried to call

Standing in a slide zone
He had me steppin' in a time zone
Standing in a slide zone
Falling through a time zone

Help me please, I thought I said
Then something happened in my head
Music came from all around
And I knew what I had found

Standing in a slide zone
Falling through a time zone
Steppin' in a slide zone
He had me falling through a time zone
Slide zone, slide zone
Slide zone, time zone

Holiday (The Bee Gees)


Holiday
Composer(s): Barry Gibb; Robin Gibb
Performer(s): The Bee Gees;
and various other artists



Oh, you're a holiday, such a holiday
Oh, you're a holiday, such a holiday
It's something I think's worthwhile
If the puppet makes you smile
If not, then you're throwing stones
Throwing stones, throwing stones

Oh, it's a funny game
Don't believe that it's all the same
Can't think what I've just said
But there's something upon my head
Millions of eyes can see
Yet why am I so blind
When the someone else is me
It's unkind, it's unkind

It's a holiday, such a holiday
You're a holiday, such a holiday
You're a holiday, such a holiday
You're a holiday, such a holiday
You're a holiday, such a holiday

Oh, you're a holiday, such a holiday
Oh, you're a holiday, such a holiday
Oh, you're a holiday, such a holiday
It's something I think's worthwhile
If the puppet makes you smile
If not, then you're throwing stones
Throwing stones, throwing stones

Oh, you're a holiday, everyday such a holiday
Now, it's my turn to say and I say you're a holiday
Oh, you're a holiday, such a holiday
Oh, you're a holiday, such a holiday
Oh, you're a holiday, such a holiday

Holiday Celebrate
Holiday Celebrate

Chorus:

If we took a holiday
Took some time to celebrate
Just one day out of life
It would be, it would be so nice

Everybody spread the word
We're gonna have a celebration
All across the world
In every nation
It's time for the good times
Forget about the bad times, oh yeah
One day to come together
To release the pressure
We need a holiday

(chorus)

You can turn this world around
And bring back all of those happy days
Put your troubles down
It's time to celebrate
Let love shine
And we will find
A way to come together
And make things better
We need a holiday

(chorus)

Holiday Celebrate
Holiday Celebrate

(chorus)

Holiday Celebrate
Holiday Celebrate

Holiday, Celebration
Come together in every nation

Stephanie Says


Stephanie Says
(French Version: Je Rêve Encore De Toi - 1985)
Composer(s): Lou Reed
First release by: The Velvet Underground - 1985
Covered by multiple other artists



Stephanie says that she wants to know
Why she’s given half her life, to people she hates now
Stephanie says when answering the phone
What country shall I say is calling from across the world

But she’s not afraid to die, the people all call her Alaska
Between worlds so the people ask her ’cause it’s all in her mind
It’s all in her mind

Stephanie says that she wants to know
Why it is though she’s the door she can’t be the room

Stephanie says but doesn’t hang up the phone
What sea shell she is calling from across the world

But she’s not afraid to die, the people all cal her Alaska
Between worlds so the people ask her ’cause it’s all in her mind
It’s all in her mind

She asks you is it good or bad
It’s such an icy feeling it’s so cold in Alaska
It’s so cold in Alaska, it’s so cold in Alaska

Hole In The World


Hole In The World
Composer(s): Glenn Frey; Don Henley
Performer(s): The Eagles



[Chorus:]
There's a hole in the world tonight
There's a Cloud of fear and sorrow
There's a hole in the world tonight
Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow

They say that anger is just love disappointed
They say that love is just a state of mind
but all this fighting over who will be anointed
Oh how can people be so blind

[Chorus:]
There's a hole in the world tonight
There's a Cloud of fear and sorrow
There's a hole in the world tonight
Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow

Oh they tell me there's a place over yonder
cool water running through the burning sand
until we we learn to love one
another we never reach the promise land

[Chorus:]
There's a hole in the world tonight
There's a Cloud of fear and sorrow
There's a hole in the world tonight
Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow

[Repeat chorus]

[Repeat chorus 4x]

Je Rêve Encore De Toi


Je Rêve Encore De Toi
(Adapted from: Stephanie Says - 1985)
Composer(s): Lou Reed - Mirwais - Daniel Darc
Performer(s): Taxi Girl - 1985



Un autre verre
Une autre nuit
Comment faire pour t’oublier
Pour ne pas pleurer

Ni un autre verre
Ni une autre nuit
Comment faire pour ne pas tomber
Pour ne pas crever

Tous ces mots que tu disais
Je rêve de savoir qu’ils étaient faux
Mais maintenant il est trop tard

Je rêve encore de toi
Je rêve encore de toi

Une autre ville
Une autre vie
Comment faire pour ne pas souhaiter
Tout recommencer

Une autre fille
Une dernière chance
Comment faire pour y croire encore
Juste un instant

Tous ces mots que tu disais
Je rêve de savoir qu’ils étaient faux
Mais maintenant il est trop tard

Je rêve encore de toi
Je rêve encore de toi

J’attendrais encore toute une nuit
Et si j’attends pour rien tant pis

C’est si dure d’aimer un rêve
C’est si dure d’aimer en rêve
C’est si dure d’aimer en rêve
C’est si dure d’aimer en rêve
C’est si dure d’aimer en rêve
C’est si dure d’aimer en rêve
C’est si dure d’aimer en rêve

Hole In My Shoe


Hole In My Shoe
Composer(s): Dave Mason
Performer(s): Traffic;
and various other artists



I looked in the sky where an elephant's eye
Was looking at me from a bubblegum tree
And all that I knew was the hole in my shoe
Which was letting in water (letting in water)
(letting in water)

I walked through a field that just wasn't real
With one hundred tin soldiers which stood at my shoulder
And all that I knew was the hole in my shoe
Which was letting in water (letting in water)
(letting in water)

(Narration: I climbed on the back of a giant albatross
What flew through a crack in the cloud
To a place where happiness reigned all year round
And music played ever so loudly)

I started to fall and suddenly woke
And the dew on the grass had soaked through my coat
And all that I knew was the hole in my shoe
Which was letting in water (letting in water)
(letting in water)

Disappear


Disappear
Composer(s): Remee - Hanne Sørvaag - Thomas Troelsen
First performance by: No Angels - 2008



On and on I've tried to move it along (It won't stop)
Tried to find the strength to turn it around (It won't stop)
Everything's been off since you went away
And time just broke the promise to ease the pain

'Cause I need you here
And it's just not fair
That it won't get better
Why did you disappear?

And we got nowhere
But it won't stop there
Though you're gone forever
I can't make you disappear

Crashing, breaking memories in my mind (It won't stop)
Never ever close to getting it right (It won't stop)
Best time of my life, now it's washed away
Still the stars, they know how to spell your name

'Cause I need you here
And it's just not fair
That it won't get better
Why did you disappear?

And we got nowhere
But it won't stop there
Though you're gone forever
I can't make you disappear

'Cause you got into my heart of stone
And I don't do well here on my own
Now the silence keeps me up at night
And I can't get used to being all alone

'Cause I need you here
And it's just not fair
That it won't get better
Why did you disappear?

And we got nowhere
But it won't stop there
Though you're gone forever
I can't make you disappear

Je suis venu pour te voler
Cent millions de baisers
Cent millions de baisers
En petites brûlures
En petites morsures
En petites coupures

C'est un hold-up!
Un hold-up!
Un hold-up!

Si tu ne veux pas m'les donner
J's'rai forcé de t'attacher
Et ça t'f'ra aux poignets
Des petites brûlures
Des petites morsures
Des petites coupures

C'est un hold-up!
Un hold-up!
Un hold-up!
Un hold-up!

Maintenant que j'ai tes baisers
Il m'reste plus qu'à m'tailler
Et toi à oublier
Ces petites brûlures
Ces petites morsures
Ces petites coupures

C'est un hold-up!
Un hold-up!
Un hold-up!
Un hold-up!

Step Out Of Your Mind


Step Out Of Your Mind
Composer(s): Al Gorgoni - Chip Taylor
Performer(s): The American Breed



You gotta get out of your head
You gotta step out of your mind

You gotta be able to bend your brain
If you wanna get on in this world
And you've got to be just a little insane
If you wanna get on in this world

Do your living in a comic book
Be a Superman or a Captain Hook
ah-ah-ah ... yeah!
ah-ah-ah ... yeah!

You gotta get out of your head
You gotta step out of your mind

You gotta be able to blow your cool
If you wanna get on in this world
You can't be afraid to be some kind of fool
If you wanna get on in this world

Do your living in a crazy dream
Be a hero on a movie screen
ah-ah-ah ... yeah!
ah-ah-ah ... yeah!

You gotta get out of your head
You gotta step out of your mind

Jump jump, out of your head
Step step, out of your mind
Jump jump, out of your head
Step step, out of your mind
Jump jump, out of your head
Step step, out of your mind
Jump jump, out of your head
Step step, out of your mind

Holding Out For A Hero


Holding Out For A Hero
Composer(s): Dean Pitchford; Jim Steinman
Performer(s): Bonnie Tyler



Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the gods?
Where's the street-wise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and turn and dream
of what I need

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasy
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There's someone reaching back for me
Racing on the thunder end rising with the heat
It's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet

(Chorus)

Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I would swear that there's someone somewhere
Watching me

Through the wind end the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood
I can feel his approach
Like the fire in my blood

Even If


Even If
Composer(s): Andy Abraham - Andy Watkins - Paul Wilson
First performance by: Andy Abraham - 2008



You're keeping me fascinated
No, I ain't running all over town
I feel so intoxicated
I'm struggling to keep my feet on the ground

I'm not playing, girl
This ain't no game at all
And for the first time
I'm not looking for love

So come here, baby, listen to me
I just want ya to believe me

Even if the world stops lovin'
I could never stop lovin' you
Even if the sun stops risin'
I still wanna wake up with you
Yeah...

Even if my heart was breakin'
I could never break your heart too
Even if all words lost their meaning
You would understand I love you
Yes, I do

Your sensuality thrills me
It strips me to my soul
As your reality cures me
Your lovin' takes a hold
I'm barely in control

I'm not pretending, girl
That ain't what's goin' on
There's no room for lies
Ain't no room at all

So come here, baby, listen to me
I just want ya to believe me

(Even if the world stops lovin')
I could never stop lovin' you
Even if the sun stops risin'
I still wanna wake up with you

Even if my heart was breakin'
I could never break your heart too, no, no
Even if all words lost their meaning
You would understand I love you
Yes, I do

(Break it down, break it down)
(Girl, you gotta know) Yes, I do
(We got to break it down, break it down)
(It's time to feel the flow) Hey yeah...

(Break it down, break it down)
(Girl, you gotta know) Help me break it down
(We got to break it down, break it down)
(It's time to feel the flow) Ooh yeah...

(Even if the world stops lovin')
(I could never stop lovin' you) I could never stop lovin' you
(Even if the sun stops risin')
(I still wanna wake up with you) I will always wake up, baby

Even if my heart was breakin'
(I could never break your heart too) Aha, aha, aha baby, baby
Even if all words lost their meaning
You would understand I love you

Holding On To Nothing


Holding On To Nothing
Composer(s): Jerry Chestnut
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb; Loretta Lynn



We're holding on with nothin' left to hold on to
I'm so tired of holding on to nothin'
The years have shown no kindness for the hard times that we've been through
We've squeezed the life from every dream and still go right on bluffin'
With really nothing left to hold on to

Oh why do we keep holding on with nothing left to hold on to
Let's be honest with each other that's at least that we can do
I feel guilty when they envy me and you
We're holding on with nothing left to hold on to

We were young and foolishly mistaken
Victims of a passion much too strong to be denied
With only tears to show for all the years that we've been fakin'
God only knows how long how hard we've tried

Oh why do we keep holding on with nothing left to hold on to
Let's be honest with each other that's at least that we can do
I feel guilty when they envy me and you
We're holding on with nothing left to hold on to
We're holding on with nothing left to hold on to

Step Inside This House


Step Inside This House
Composer(s): Guy Clark
Performer(s): Travis Collins



That picture hangin' on the wall
Was painted by a friend
He gave it to me all down and out
When he owed me ten
Now it doesn't look like much I guess
But it's all that's left of him
And it sure is nice from right over here
When the light's a little dim

Step inside my house Babe
I'll sing for you a song
I'll tell you 'bout where I've been
It shouldn't take too long
I'll show you all the things I own
My treasures you might say
Couldn't be more'n ten dollars worth
But they brighten up my day

Here's a book of poems I got
From a girl I used to know
I guess I read it front to back
Fifty times or so
It's all about the good life
And stayin' at ease with the world
It's funny how I love that book
And I never loved that girl

Hold this piece of glass
Up to the light comin' through the door
It's a prism glass I found on the road
Can you see that little rainbow
Well it's not really a prism I guess
It just broke in a funny way
I found it on my way from Texas
Headed for L.A.

This guitar was given me
By old man Thomas Gray
It's not too much to look at
But I pick it every day
It's been across the country
Four or five times I guess
Between me and old man Tom
It never got much rest

Well that's about all I own
And all I care to I guess
Except this pair of boots
And that funny yellow vest
And that leather jacket and leather bag
And hat hangin' on the wall
Just so it's not too much to carry
Could I see you again next Fall

Holding Her And Loving You


Holding Her And Loving You
Composer(s): Walt Aldridge; Tom Brasfield
Performer(s): Earl Thomas Conley; Clay Walker



It's the third hardest thing I'll ever do
Leaving here without you
And the second hardest thing I'll ever do
Is telling her about you
She's been good to me when things were going rough
How can I tell her now that good ain't good enough
The hardest thing I'll ever have to do
Is holding her and loving you
If she'd give me one good reason I'd be gone
But she ain't done one thing wrong
So don't expect me just to walk out of the door
I still love her but I love you more
She's been good to me when things weren't going right
She made my days long before you made my nights

The hardest thing I'll ever have to do
Is holding her and loving you
Girl, the hardest thing I'll ever have to do
Is holding her and loving you

Vampires Are Alive


Vampires Are Alive
Composer(s): DJ BoBo - Axel Breitung
First performance by: DJ BoBo - 2007



(Vampires are alive)
(The legends have to survive)
(We'll never come undone)
(And we will be forever young)
Vampires, get a life

I am a vampire, I'm a slave
A slave to the daylight, hence my grave
In the darkness, in the shadows – here I am
(Here I am)

I want you to be forever mine
Together until the end of time
Like a nightmare, never ending
Let me change your world

(Vampires are alive)
(The legends have to survive)
(We'll never come undone)
(And we will be forever young)

Vampires are alive
(And we will be forever young)
Vampires, vampires are alive
(And we will be forever young)

Tonight is the night, live a thousand years
Don't be scared, don't drown in tears
Free your spirit after midnight, sell your soul
(Let it go)

From heaven to hell, enjoy the ride
You're here to surrender with your life
Precious victims, my desire, live eternally

(Vampires are alive)
(The legends have to survive)
(We'll never come undone)
(And we will be forever young)

Vampires are alive
(And we will be forever young)
Vampires, vampires are alive
(And we will be forever young)

(Vampires) are alive
Vampires are alive
(Vampires)
