Hollywood (Chico Buarque)


Hollywood
Performer(s): Chico Buarque



Ói nós aqui
Ói nós aqui
Hollywood fica
Ali bem perto
Só não vê quem
Tem um olho aberto

Ói nós aqui
Ói nós aqui
Hollywood
É um sonho de cenário
Vi um pau-de-arara
Milionário

E eu que nem sonhava
Conhecer o tal Recife
Pobre saltimbanco
Trapalhão
Hoje sou mocinho
Sou vizinho do xerife
Dou rabo-de-arraia
Em tubarão

Ói nós aqui
Ói nós aqui
Tem de tudo
Nessa Hollywood
Vi um índio
Cheio de saúde

Ói nós aqui
Ói nós aqui
How do you do
Caruaru
I wanna see
Piripipi
Ói nós aqui

Ói nós aqui
Ói nós aqui
Camelôs, malucos
E engraxates
Aproveitem enquanto
O sonho é grátis

Quem há de negar
Que é bom dançar
Que a vida é bela
Neste fabuloso Xanadu
Eu só tenho medo
De amanhã cair da tela
E acordar
Em Nova Iguaçu

Ói nós aqui
Ói nós aqui
How do you do
Banabuiú
I wanna buy
O Paraguai
Hollywood
And me
Ói nós aqui (vixe!)

Steppin' Out (Gonna Boogie Tonight)


Steppin' Out (Gonna Boogie Tonight)
Composer(s): Russell Brown - Irwin Levine
Performer(s): Tony Orlando & Dawn



No, I'm not upset, I'm not, lots of people get married
Please I'm in a hurry, won't you straighten my tie
I'll get by
She was something else, she was, now she's gonna get married
She's got herself carried off by somebody new
What can I do?

Don't worry 'bout me Ma, I'll be alright
I'm steppin' out, I'm gonna boogie tonight
Dancing and singing
Love songs 'til the dawn's early light
Oh, I'm stepping out, I'm gonna boogie tonight

Yes, I must admit we did, we looked so good together
Thought it would last forever but I'm a dreamer at heart
Dreams fall apart
Tell me where's my shoes, my groovy shoes
Enough about Diana, oh my sweet Diana
She's getting married today

Don't worry 'bout me Ma, I'll be alright
I'm steppin' out, I'm gonna boogie tonight
Dancing and singing
Love songs 'til the dawn's early light
Oh, I'm stepping out, I'm gonna boogie tonight

Oh my tender lips, they lied, they told me that she loved me
I'm just catching a cold, Ma
These aren't tears in my eyes

So don't worry 'bout me Ma, I'll be alright
See, I'm steppin' out, I'm gonna boogie tonight
Dancing and singing
Love songs 'til the dawn's early light
Oh, I'm stepping out, Ma, I'm gonna boogie tonight

Hollyann
Performer(s): Boston



In my mind
I can see reminders of a past decay
So far behind
Like the shadows linger at the close of day
And we could see
We were timeless dreamers of another day
And we were free
In a dawning age we had so much to say

Oooh, the nights you came to me
A bluejean lady so eager to be free
And the wind in your long hair blowin’ as we stood for the band

Oh, Hollyann

Hollyann
We made the dark into light
We saw the wrong and the right
We were for life
And we would never concede it

Hollyann
We left the world behind
A million hands gave the sign
We held the line light
Can you believe it?
Hollyann
Hollyann

We could live
Just to turn the world into our fantasy
And we could give
Aquarius was really meant to be

You and I we were there to see the dawn
Side by side we had love to carry on
And I still hear guitars in the air as we sat in the sand

Oh, Hollyann

Hollyann
We made the dark into light
We saw the wrong and the right
We were for life
And we would never concede it

Hollyann
We left the world behind
A million hands gave the sign
We held the line `/light
Can you believe it?
Hollyann

For Life


For Life
Composer(s): Isis Gee
First performance by: Isis Gee - 2008



I had no choice, perfectly clear from the start
I heard your voice and I was falling
Into a space where daylight kisses moonlit skies
It was the place as written in your eyes
And oh... we made it, we finally found our way
And celebrating just where we, we stand today

I'll let my heart show the way
Oceans and mountains between us
Because your love is why
You made the wrong right
I will give my all
I will heed your call for life

I had no choice, perfectly clear from the start
I will rejoice, embrace your calling
And into a space where daylight breathes within your heart
You found my heart and I knew it was for life
Oh...

I'll let my heart show the way
Oceans and mountains between us
Because your love is why
You made the wrong right
I will give my all for life
Ooh yeah... for life

Steppin' Out


Steppin' Out
Composer(s): Paul Revere - Mark Lindsay
Performer(s): Paul Revere & the Raiders



Well, I had to leave town because of Uncle Sam's deal, ha ha ha yeah
Well, I guess my good lovin' done lost its appeal
Because when I called back I heard a-bad bad news
They say our big romance has been gettin' abuse
Now tell the truth, don't lie to me
Have you been step, step, step, step, step, step, steppin' out on me?
I've got ways of findin' out if you've been steppin' out on me
It's my turn, let me give you a piece of my mind

I told you once, I told you twice
You're kind of rowdy after walkin' on ice
Turn your loop in, do what I want you to do
Stop your messin' now or I'm gonna step out on you
Hey! Hey! Hey hey hey hey!

If I can't be your one & only man
I'm gonna call your daddy to give him back your hand
I'm gonna call the preacher, tell the choir stay home
I guess you're the kind of woman that's just 'bout to roam
Now tell me true, don't lie to me
Have you been step, step, step, step, step, step, steppin' out on me?
Tell the truth, child; you've been steppin' out on me
I gotta know in my heart if you've been steppin' out on me
I'll be checkin' with all your friends if you've been steppin' out on me
Better tell me the truth honey; have you been steppin' out on me?
Yeah I'm gonna check; no more stuff or I'll be steppin' out on you ...

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

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

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

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

En petites brûlures
En petites morsures
En petites coupures

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

Ces petites morsures
Ces petites coupures

C'est un hold-up!

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

You gotta step out of your mind

You gotta be able to blow your cool

If you wanna get on in this world

Do your living in a crazy dream
Be a hero on a movie screen

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

Jump jump, out of your head

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