Airport (The Motors)
Airport
Composer(s): Andy McMaster
Performer(s): The Motors
So many destination faces going to so many places
Where the weather is much better
And the food is so much cheaper
Well I help her with her baggage for her baggage is so heavy
I hear the plane is ready by the gateway to take my love away
And I can't believe that she really wants to leave me and it's getting me so
It's getting me so
Airport
Airport, you've got a smiling face
You took the one I love so far away
Fly her away - fly her away - airport
Airport, you've got a smiling face
You took my lady to another place
Fly her away - fly her away
The plane is on the move
And the traces of the love we had in places
Are turning in my mind - how I wish I'd been much stronger
For the wheels are turning faster as I hear the winds are blowing
And I know that she is leaving
On the jet plane way down the runaway
And I can't believe that she really wants to leave me - and it's
Getting me so
It's getting me so
Airport
Airport, you've got a smiling face ...
Airport
Airport, you've got a smiling face ...

Home And Dry
Home And Dry
Composer(s): Gerry Rafferty
Performer(s): Gerry Rafferty
This silver bird takes me 'cross the sky
Just one more hour and I'll be home and dry
'Cross the ocean, way above the clouds I come stealin'
Feelin' tired, but I feel good
Cause I did everything I said I would
I think of you, and I know how you'll be feelin'
I gotta see you, I gotta be with you
We'll make it better now in every way
It's gotta be you, it's gotta be you
Yes from now on I'll tell you everyday
Way up here above this timeless sea
I realize just what it is you mean to me
You give me somethin' when I thought that everything we had was dyin'
I need a reason just to make me carry on
Well I know better now, I know where I belong
I can't imagine how I ever let myself just give up tryin'
I gotta see you, I gotta be with you
We'll make it better now in every way
It's gotta be you, it's gotta be you
Yes from now on I'll tell you everyday
Oooooh, yes home and dry
Ain't nothin' up here gonna slow me down
You know I never had to take the long way 'round
I think of you, 'cause I know how you'll be feelin'
This silver bird takes me 'cross the sky
Just one more hour and I'll be home and dry
'Cross the ocean, way above the clouds I come stealin'
I gotta see you, I gotta be with you
We'll make it better now in every way
It's gotta be you, it's gotta be you
Yes from now on I'll tell you everyday
Oooooh, yes home and dry

Hello Walls, No. 2
Hello Walls, No. 2
Composer(s): Willie Nelson - Sheb Wooley
Performer(s): Ben Colder
Holy mackerel there!
Hello wall
I didn't see you standin' there
Did I hurt you?
Boy I sure did hit you square
Now one of us is plastered and I'll let you guess who
Just imagine bumpin' in to you
Hey wall (hello hello)
Why did you let them move the door
And the ceiling, why it used to be the floor
Someone came while I was out and changed you all around
Or could it be that I'm standin' upside down
That chandalier is all lit up
It just took a swing at me
And someone put the bathtub
Where the kitchen sink used to be
Hello bedsheet (hello hello)
I guess I'd better lay me down
You know I can't sleep if this bed keeps spinnin' round
There's a picture on the head board, hey I've seen them folks before
Son of a gun! I'm in the house next door (hello hello)
Hello neighbor

Home Among The Gum Trees
Home Among The Gum Trees
Composer(s): Bob Brown; Walter Johnson Jr.
Performer(s): John Williamson; Bloodwood
I've been around the world
A couple of times or maybe more
I've seen the sights, I've had delights
On every foreign shore
But when my friends all ask me
The place that I adore
I tell them right away
(chorus)
Give me a home among the gum trees
With lots of plum trees
A sheep or two and a kangaroo
A clothes lines out the back
Veranda at the front
And an old rocking chair
You can see me in the kitchen
Cooking up a roast
Or vegemite on toast
Just you and me and a cup of tea
Later on we'll settle down
And loll upon the porch
And watch the possums play
(chorus)
Some people like their houses
With fences all around
Others live in mansions
And some beneath the ground
But me I like the bush you know
With rabbits runnin' round
And a pumpkin vine out the back
(chorus twice)

Country Music In My Soul
Country Music In My Soul
Composer(s): Bobby Bond
Performer(s): George Hamilton IV
I been travelin' down the highways with my guitar for so long
Shakin' hands and meetin' lots of folks
Living my life my way with a handshake and a song
Caring little if I was rich or broke
Cause there's country music in my soul
People music for the young and the old
I'll keep on singing a song keep on keeping on
Cause there's country music in my soul
Well I met a man in Illinois who came to hear our show
Well he brought his wife and all his fourteen kids
Why he took the trouble Lord I swear I'll never know
Well we'd give 'em everything we had to give
Cause there's country music in my soul...
When the final curtain falls and I go to meet the Lord
If he asks me what I think I'd like to do
I'll humbly request he seat the people on the floor
Cause I kinda like to sing 'em all the tune
Cause there's country music in my soul
People music for the young and the old
I'll keep on singing a song keep on keeping on
Cause there's country music in my soul
Yeah yeah yes there's country music in my soul
Oh oh yes there's country music in my soul

Home Again
Home Again
Composer(s): Barry Manilow; Marty Panzer
Performer(s): Barry Manilow
Always, and always
now
where there was just one
there 'll be two
And you won't be alone again
I'm home again
Over, and over
now
we'll make up for nights
that we missed
And kiss like we once kissed again
I'm home again
Close your eyes
I'll close mine
Remember how much we once had
and babe, I'm so glad
to be home again
love you I love you
now there's no one but you in my life
And I won't let you go again
I'm home again
love you I love you
more than anything else in my life
And I won't let you go again
I'm home again

When The Blues Come In From The Rain
When The Blues Come In From The Rain
Composer(s): Jack Blanchard
Performer(s): Jack Blanchard & Misty Morgan
When the river's running gray on a dark and cloudy day
And the winds that bring October
Make the reeds and weeds and cattails sway
Thinking my life over, I see your face again
When the blues come in from the rain
When the leaves are coming down on the sidewalks wet and brown
And the cars all have their lights on
As they make their way back home from town
Time may fade your picture, but it sure don't dull the pain
When the blues come in from the rain
Don't get me wrong, I'm not sayin' I'm to blame
Just the same, I've got an empty feeling inside
Sometimes I'd like to break right down and call your name
But all that I've got left now is my pride
When the blues come in from the rain
And your face appears, the tears are only
Raindrops on my window pane
Still, if I could live life over, I'd go back the way we came
When the blues come in from the rain
When the blues come in from the rain
And your face appears, the tears are only
Raindrops on my window pane
Still, if I could live life over, I'd go back the way we came
When the blues come in from the rain
When the blues come in from the rain

Home (Vic Damone)
Home
Composer(s): Peter Van Steeden; Harry Clarkson
Performer(s): Vic Damone
Ev'ning marks the close of day
Skies of blue begin to grey
Crimson hues are fading in the West
Ev'ning ever brings to me
Dreams of days that used to be
Memories of those I love the best
When shadows fall
And trees whisper day is ending
My thoughts are ever wending Home
When crickets call
My heart is ever yearning
Once more to be returning Home
When the hills conceal the setting sun
Stars begin a peeping one by one
Night covers all
And, though fortune may forsake me
Sweet dreams will ever take me Home

Lips are you ready to tremble hands are you ready to shake

Home (Stephanie Mills)
Home
Composer(s): Charles Smalls
First release by: Stephanie Mills - 1975
Covered by multiple other artists
When I think of home
I think of a resting place
A place where there's peace, quiet, and serenity
And that's where some of my friends have gone
Friends who have traveled with me through my wonderful experience in Oz
A journey I'll never forget
When I think of home, I think of a place
Where there's love overflowing
I wish I was home, I wish I was back there
With the things I've been knowing
Wind that makes the tall grass bend into leaning
Suddenly the raindrops that fall they have a meaning
Sprinklin' the scene
Makes it all clean
(When I think of home)
Maybe there's a chance for me to go back
Now that I have some direction
(Maybe there's a chance I'll get home)
It sure would be nice to be back at home
Where there's love and affection
And just maybe I can convince time to slow up
Givin' me enough time, ooh, in my life to grow up
Time be my friend
And let me start again
Suddenly my world's gone and changed its fate
And I still know where I'm going
I have had my mind spun round in space
And watched it growing
And oh, if youre listening, God, please don't make it hard
To know if we should believe the things that we see
Tell us should we try and stay or should we run away (Should we run away)
Or will it be better just to let things, let them be, oh
Livin' here in this brand new world
Might be a fantasy
But it's taught me to love, oh, yeah
And it's real, it's so real, it's real to me
And I've learned that we must look
Inside our hearts to find
A world full of love
Like yours, like mine
Like home
Like, like home
(When I think of home)
My friends smilin' down on me
Givin' me their energy, oh
(When I think of home)
I think of a peaceful world and joy
All around me, yeah
(When I think of home)
And love that we share can never
Never, ever be taken away from me, yeah, yeah, yeah
(When I think of home)
I just sit down and think
And gets on down in my bone, bone, yeah
(When I think of home)
I can hear my friends tellin' me
Stephanie, please sing my song
I wanna sing, I wanna shout
I wanna tell you what it's all about

Big Black Bird (The Spirit Of Our Love)
Big Black Bird (The Spirit Of Our Love)
Composer(s): Jack Blanchard
Performer(s): Jack Blanchard & Misty Morgan
I woke up in the night and saw the moonlight shinin' through my windows
I sat up and looked around startled by the sound I thought I'd heard
Through the silver hills high above the treetops where the wind blows
Flies the spirit of my love like the shadow of a big black bird
There was something in the air I could feel it as I stood there by the windows
Like a sign of a lover or the whisper of a long forgotten words
Across the silver waters down the moonlit canyons where the wind blows
Flies the spirit of my love like the shadow of a big black bird
I heard the silent call as I saw a shadow fall across my windows
Burning tears filled my eyes as I recognized the voice my soul had heard
Across the silver years from beyond the sea of time where the wind blows
Flies the spirit of my love like the shadow of a big black bird
Across the silver years from beyond the sea of time where the wind blows
Flies the spirit of my love like the shadow of a big black bird
Flies the spirit of my love like the shadow of a big black bird
Flies the spirit of my love like the shadow of a big black bird

Homburg
Homburg
Composer(s): Gary Brooker; Keith Reid
Performer(s): Procol Harum;
Los Gatos Negros; Sally Timms
Your multilingual business friend
has packed her bags and fled
Leaving only ash-filled ashtrays
and the lipsticked unmade bed
The mirror on reflection
has climbed back upon the wall
for the floor she found descended
and the ceiling was too tall
Your trouser cuffs are dirty
and your shoes are laced up wrong
you'd better take off your homburg
'cos your overcoat is too long
The town clock in the market square
stands waiting for the hour
when its hands they both turn backwards
and on meeting will devour
both themselves and also any fool
who dares to tell the time
And the sun and moon will shatter
and the signposts cease to sign

Stewball
Stewball
Composer(s): Elena Mezzetti - Milton Okun - Noel Paul Stookey - Mary Travers
Performer(s): Peter, Paul and Mary
Oh Stewball was a racehorse, and I wish he were mine
He never drank water, he always drank wine
His bridle was silver, his mane it was gold
And the worth of his saddle has never been told
Oh the fairgrounds were crowded, and Stewball was there
But the betting was heavy on the bay and the mare
And a-way up yonder, ahead of them all
Came a-prancin' and a-dancin' my noble Stewball
I bet on the grey mare, I bet on the bay
If I'd have bet on ol' Stewball, I'd be a free man today
Oh the hoot owl, she hollers, and the turtle dove moans
I'm a poor boy in trouble, I'm a long way from home
Oh Stewball was a racehorse, and I wish he were mine
He never drank water, he always drank wine

Hombres De Hierro
Hombres De Hierro
Performer(s): León Gieco
Larga muchacho tu voz joven
como larga la luz el sol
que aunque tenga que estrellarse contra un paredon
que aunque tenga que estrellarse se dividira en dos
Suelta muchacho tus pensamientos
como anda suelto el viento
sos la esperanza y la voz que vendra
a florecer en la nueva tierra
Hombres de hierro
que no escuchan la voz
hombres de hierro
que no escuchan el grito
hombres de hierro que no escuchan el llanto
gente que avanza se puede matar
pero los pensamientos quedaran
Puntas agudas ensucian el cielo
como la sangre en la tierra
dile a esos hombres que traten de usar
a cambio de las armas su cabeza
Hombres de hierro
que no escuchan la voz
hombres de hierro
que no escuchan el grito
hombres de hierro que no escuchan el llanto
gente que avanza se puede matar
Pero los pensamientos quedaran

The sun is up
I'm feeling great

Today will be gone
Get out, out of bed
Put on your blue suede shoes – aha

Celebrate good times – come on
All night long
If your life is like a sad song maybe
You should try and celebrate it
Celebrate it
All night long
All night long
Celebrate good times – come on
All night long

Hombrediablo
Hombrediablo
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Hombrediablo es mi amigo más genial
Hombrediablo es más que sensacional
bebedor
bravucón
y además seductor
Conocí al Hombrediablo en la niñez
cuando aún yo no tomaba ni café
Él ya entonces andaba a su sazón
tenía citas y hacía alardes de matón
Tenía mujer
y yo tenía que estudiar
tenía mujer
y yo tareas que acabar
El crecía en el barrio de Colón
y yo en medio del Dante y Platón
Siempre admiré
su situación frente al amor
siempre admiré
sus puñetazos al mentón
Hombrediablo es mi amigo más genial
Hombrediablo es más que sensacional
Hombrediablo hace apuestas en alcohol
siempre gana porfía el bebedor
No se deja atrapar por un amor
porque vive a la salva de su honor
Se ve muy bien
con su tupé, con su dril cien
se ve muy bien
con su bigote a lo francés
Los domingos se va al cine en procesión
con su novia, que espera en un sillón
Se ve muy bien
aunque está madurito ya
se ve muy bien
siempre ha sabido no sudar
Hombrediablo es mi amigo más genial
Hombrediablo es más que sensacional
Cuando a veces nos vemos por ahí
me aconseja que me lance a vivir
me da el número de alguna mujer
porque a un socio él le sabe resolver
Me cuenta así
sus aventuras de Don Juan
me cuenta así
mientras mi envidia crece más
Siempre huele a lavanda o a mentol
y se pule las uñas con alcohol
Me dice adiós
Yo me conmuevo al verlo ir
Me dice adiós
y siempre pienso "eso es vivir"
Hombrediablo es mi amigo más genial
Hombrediablo es más que sensacional

All Night Long (Peter Frampton)
All Night Long
Composer(s): Peter Frampton - Mick Gallagher
First release by: Peter Frampton - 1973
Trees falling leaves come alive, watch them glide
Eyes come to life when you smile for a while
Tables keep turning now the full moon has been seen
Know what I mean
Tell you what to do baby - all night long
It would take me - all night long
Show you how I feel - all night long
I've seen you in the papers they say you play at pool
I think you got me snookered if we play your rules
Maybe you can't see the way to be sure anymore
I can't help feeling like closing the door
Images are fading and the thought of you has gone
Baby it's wrong
'Cause all I need is - all night long
It would only take me - all night long
To show you how I feel - all night long
They say you read me like a book then make the book a film
You can write the screen play I can't wait 'til then
I wish I knew what I could do
It feels like somethings overdue
Communications broken down
Still got me snookered when you wear your crown
All night long
It would only take me - all night long
Won't ya, won't ya give - all night long
Yeah, I've seen you in the papers they say you play at pool
I think you got me snookered no exception to the rule
Give me - all night long
Won't ya, won't ya give - all night long
It would only take me - all night long
To show you how I feel
'Cause you still got me snookered and it's quite unreal

Hombre
Hombre
Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
De quererte cantar sufro disnea
bastante más allá de los pulmones
Tu sombra brilla hoy en la pelea
mayor de la conciencia y las razones
Por ti canto de pecho
como el sueño en que giro
y leve, como aún respiro
Por ti adelanto trecho
a lo que falta en tono
y canto lo que no perdono
Hombre, hombre y amigo
aún queda para estar contigo
Hombre, hombre sin templo
desciende a mi ciudad tu ejemplo
Supiste cabalgar contra quien odia
desde su torre de odio y exterminio
pero, en mi parecer, te dio más gloria
el alma que tallaste a tu dominio
La medicina escasa
la más insuficiente
es la de remediar la mente
Y la locura pasa
risueña cuando engaña
cual odio de la propia entraña
Hombre sin apellido
un poco de piedad te pido
hombre, ay, todavía
que un tanto más allá está el día
De la melena inculta a la calvicie
del número inicial a lo incontable
desde la tumba hasta la superficie
tras breve veinte tan multiplicable
me llega un canto alado
de fiebres de la infancia
me brota la invención del ansia
y entero y mutilado
furiosamente a besos
te doy mi corazón travieso
Hombre, hombre sin muerte
la noche respiró tu suerte
hombre de buen destino
y hay luces puestas en camino
