Hummingbird
Composer(s): James Seals; Dash Crofts
Performer(s): Seals & Crofts
Oh hummingbird
mankind was waiting for you to come flying along
Heavenly songbird, we were so wrong
We've harmed you
Oh hummingbird, lend us your wings
Let us soar in the atmosphere of Abha
Lift us up to the heaven of holiness
oh source of our being, oh hummingbird
Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away
Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away
In you I've found a fragrance
I'll love you 'til I die
I just love you, love you, love you
I don't even know the reason why
Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away
Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away
The sweetness of your nectar has drawn me like a fly
I just love you, love you, love you
I don't even know the reason why
Now, hummingbird don't fly away, fly away
Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away
Haven't you noticed the days somehow keep getting longer?
And the spirit voices linger in us all
Haven't you noticed the rays?
The spirit sun in stronger
And a new day is dawning on us all
Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away
Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away
Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away
Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away
The draught of understanding; wisdom, peace and love is ours
Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away
Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away

Covered by multiple other artists
Like a long lonely stream
I keep runnin' towards a dream
Movin' on, movin' on
Like a branch on a tree
I keep reachin' to be free
Movin' on, movin' on
'Cause there's a place in the sun
Where there's hope for ev'ryone
Where my poor restless heart's gotta run
There's a place in the sun
And before my life is done
Got to find me a place in the sun
Like an old dusty road
I get weary from the load
Movin' on, movin' on
Like this tired troubled earth
I've been rollin' since my birth
Movin' on, movin' on
There's a place in the sun
Where there's hope for ev'ryone
Where my poor restless heart's gotta run
There's a place in the sun
And before my life is done
Got to find me a place in the sun
You know when times are bad
And you're feeling sad
I want you to always remember
Yes, there's a place in the sun
Where there's hope for ev'ryone
Where my poor restless heart's gotta run
There's a place in the sun
Where there's hope for ev'ryone
Where my poor restless heart's gotta run
There's a place in the sun
Where there's hope for ev'ryone...

Tu non passi di qui
per non rivedermi ancor
ma perchè non lo so
Puoi passare di qui
io non ti saluterò
se con lui ti vedrò
Ma se il sole lassù
è di tutti e tu lo sai
e la strada appartiene
anche a te
non fa niente se tu
nel vedermi penserai
che non splende più
un soleper me
Ti vergogni di me
se ti vedo insieme a lui
io lo so, io lo so
Ma se il sole lassù
è di tutti e non per me
scorderò il tuo amor
Ma se il sole lassù
è di tutti e tu lo sai
che la strada appartiene
anche a te
(lo so)
no fa niente se tu
nel vedermi penserai
che non splende
più il sole
per me
Ma se il sole lassù

Hummin' To Myself
Composer(s): Sammy Fain; Siegel Magidson; Monty Siegel
Performer(s): Connie Boswell;
and various other artists
I am a singer of love songs
Songs that are happy and gay
But how can I sing my love songs?
My lover's gone away
I've got the words, and I've got the tune
I've been rehearsing under the moon
But I've got nobody to hear my song
So I'm hummin' to myself
I've got the place, I've got the time
I've got a lot of love words that rhyme
But I've got nobody to hear my song
So I'm hummin' to myself
Mmm - mmm - mmm - mmm
I guess it just had to be
Mmm - mmm - mmm - mmm
Won't someone listen to me?
I've got the words and I've got the tune
I'd like to croon it under the moon
But I've got nobody to hear my song
So I'm hummin' to myself

The Cockroach That Ate Cincinnati
The Cockroach That Ate Cincinnati
Composer(s): Doug Drill
Performer(s): Rose & The Arrangement
Uh-uh, don't touch that dial!
I must offer to you a confession
I like movies that give me a fright
If the subject is horror, I got to see more or
I won't be contented all night.
You may call it my ghoulish obsession
It's a subject on which I get chatty
But the worst one it seems, haunting all of my dreams
Was the cockroach that ate Cincinnati!
I've seen ghouls and hobgoblins and witches
And some moth-eaten werewolves with fangs
There were creatures that chattered and others that clattered
And Japanese monsters with fangs (ah-so)
Frankenstein gives me the shakes
And Count Dracula's driving me batty
But they're not on a par with the worst one by far
The cockroach that ate Cincinnati (ha ha ha ha)!
Oh, he must have needed a seltzer
It's amazing how much he got down!
For lunch, he'd just chew up a suburb or two
And for dinner, he ate the whole town (Burp!)
Willard just sent me out laughing
I thought Ben looked a little bit ratty (sorry, sorry about that)
But they're not half as bad as the worst scare I've had
The Cockroach that ate Cincinnati!
Oh, my heart nearly stopped; he would never be topped
The cockroach that ate Cincinnati! Ole!

Humble Stance
Humble Stance
Composer(s): Jim Crichton; Peter Rochon; Michael Sadler
Performer(s): Saga
Lately I've been watching a little complex grow
You know, you gotta know
That's why I chose to tell ya
That humble stance and timid glance makes your world turn so slow
You know, you gotta know
There's no one going to help you
Watching you, that shyness too, with everyone you know
You know, you gotta know
That's how they step around you
It takes you twice the time to find the things you're looking for
You know, you're moving slow
No one will stop to tell you
You can light up anyone you please
You should spend less time down on your knees
Lately I've been watching a little complex grow
You know, you gotta know
That's why I chose to tell ya
That humble stance and timid glance makes your world turn so slow
You know, you gotta know
There's no one going to help you

I got your letter yesterday
From some small town I never knew
It told me you were on your way
But not where you were going to
You said you're following the sun
But do you really know for sure
For after all is said and done
Just what it is you' re looking for
There' s a place in my heart
I wish that your eyes could see
And there' s no one on earth
Who loves you as much as me
If you just travel on and on
Till I don't know where
There's a place in my heart
You may never find again
And so you travel with the wind
You' ll find some road to fly along
And though your letter says the word
Your heart may soon forget the song
Then you may someday write the poem
That tells your life in words of fire
But you will never have a home
Or find the love that you desire
There' s a place in my heart
I wish that your eyes could see
And there' s no one on earth
Who loves you as much as me
If you just travel on and on
Till I don't know where
There's a place in my heart
You may never find again
And so heading for the sea
Now that the flowers are in bloom
Just when the wild mimosa tree
Is like the colour of our room
If you just travel on and on
Till I don't know where
There's a place in my heart
You may never find again

Humanos
Humanos
Performer(s): Pablo Guerrero
Maquillan sus mentiras de palabras hermosas
aceptan doctrinas para saber qué pensar
construyen laberintos y ocultan la salida
creen que los líderes les traerán la libertad
Matan por ideas como Tú Eres Distinto
necesitan el agua y envenenan el mar
tienen sed en el siglo de la Coca-Cola
pagan luz eléctrica y andan en la oscuridad
Pero cuando se aman
cuando se encuentran
pero cuando se sienten
cuando se inventan
los dioses suelen visitar a los humanos
Buscan petróleo y lo convierten en humo
viven en la tierra y sueñan con volar
no son creyentes pero dicen te adoro
viven juntos y padecen de soledad
Pero cuando se aman
cuando se encuentran
pero cuando se sienten
cuando se inventan
los dioses suelen visitar a los humanos

Het heeft gesneeuwd in Saint-Tropez
De palmen kreunen van de kou
De anders oh zo blauwe zee
Is grijs en kleurloos zonder jou
In de Provence ligt er ijs
En rode wijn brengt geen soelaas
Ik mis ons huis, ons klein paleis
Daar in het zoete land van Waas
Steek het vuur in de haard maar aan
Ik wil hier vandaan
Zelfs al scheen hier de zon
Het is tijd om hier weg te gaan
Steek het vuur in de haard maar aan
Ik wil weer naar huis
Ik keer morgen terug voor altijd
Morgen ben ik thuis
De winter weegt op Avignon
De brug staat er bevroren bij
De ijsverkoper in Vaison
Heeft zich vergist van jaargetij
Ik breng wat bloemen voor je mee
Mimosa en wat zuiders kruid
Maar 't liefste pluk ik met ons twee
De winterbloemen van de ruit
Steek het vuur in de haard maar aan
Ik wil hier vandaan
Zelfs al scheen hier de zon
Het is tijd om hier weg te gaan
Steek het vuur in de haard maar aan
Ik wil weer naar huis
Ik keer morgen terug voor altijd
Morgen ben ik thuis

It’s human nature [it’s human nature]
And I’m not sorry [I’m not sorry]
I’m not your bitch don’t hang your shit on me [it’s human nature]
You wouldn’t let me say the words I longed to say
You didn’t want to see life through my eyes
[express yourself, don’t repress yourself]
You tried to shove me back inside your narrow room
And silence me with bitterness and lies
[express yourself, don’t repress yourself]
Did I say something wrong?
Oops, I didn’t know I couldn’t talk about sex
[I musta been crazy]
Did I stay too long?
Oops, I didn’t know I couldn’t speak my mind
[what was I thinking]
(chorus)
You punished me for telling you my fantasies
I’m breakin’ all the rules I didn’t make
[express yourself, don’t repress yourself]
You took my words and made a trap for silly fools
You held me down and tried to make me break
[express yourself, don’t repress yourself]
Did I say something true?
Oops, I didn’t know I couldn’t talk about sex
[I musta been crazy]
Did I have a point of view?
Oops, I didn’t know I couldn’t talk about you
[what was I thinking]

Express yourself, don’t repress yourself
Express yourself, don’t repress yourself

[we all feel the same way]
[I have no regrets]
[just look in the mirror]
(chorus)
[I don’t have to justify anything]
[I’m just like you]
[why should I be?]
[deal with it]

Está nevando sin cesar
De blanco se vistió el jardín
La noche fría seguirá apoderándose de mí
Maldito invierno sin final
Que no me deja ver el sol
Odioso vendaval que se ha llevado tu calor
Yo deseo que regreses pronto
Pronto a nuestro hogar
Y que llenes el vacío frío de mi soledad
Yo deseo que regreses pronto
Pronto a nuestro hogar
Y que enciendas este fuego que apagado está
Mis ojos ya no pueden ver
Si el mar es verde o es azul
Talvéz de tanto padecer
Tan larga y cruel ingratitud
Pero aquí dentro más y más
Me está gritando el corazón
Que el duro invierno acabará
Dejando paso a nuestro amor
Yo deseo que regreses pronto
Pronto a nuestro hogar
Y que llenes el vacío frío de mi soledad
Yo deseo que regreses pronto
Pronto a nuestro hogar
Y que enciendas este fuego que apagado está
Fue por tu ausencia que sentí
Sabor amargo de inquietud
Pero ya es tiempo de salir
De las tinieblas a la luz
La lala lalala lala
Lalala lala
La lala lalala lala
Lalala lala...
Yo deseo que regreses pronto
Pronto a nuestro hogar
Y que tu ya no me dejes sola
Sola nunca más

Whose gonna sit through the night
And just always act so quaint

You're really making a scene
And I've seen you bouncin' around

And if I've acted like a king
Don't ya know it's cause I'm a human being
And if I want too many things
Don't ya know it's cause I'm a human being
And if I've got to dream
Don't you know it's cause I'm a human being

On a million dollar bet
Because you're liable to lose it
On a bet that you've never had yet
No bababy baby oh yeah
(chorus)
It's like I'm talkin' 'bout the human race
You're tryin' to cover up a big disgrace
Baby, yeah, yeah, yeah
Come on, come on, come on
Well I may think that this whole scene is just
Too appalling for me
Well, I may be the type who's just mad about
Every little thing that I see, but I can
Colour that with history, and make it
Just what I want it to be, well I'm
Blowin' my change on the fan magazines, with all the
Hollywood refugees, oh baby baby oh yeah

A Place For The Music To Come Out
Composer(s): Barry White
Performer(s): The Banana Splits
Well, the cheeks puff up, the air goes 'round
The valves flip-flop, but there ain't no sound
'Till the "paw-paw-paw" moves around
To the place for the music to come out!
Mmm, the tall thin ball, with the ax and pick
Knows darn well, when he plays that stick
No sound comes through, 'till he's wired to
A place for the music to come out!
You can move it, groove it, play it like it is!
You can blow your mind, you can wear it in town
But it don't mean a thing when there ain't no sound!
Take a saxophone, an 88
A set of skins, and you think they're great!
But they are not, unless they got
A place for the music to come out!
Gotta have a place for the music to come out, man!
(Place for the music to come out!)
You can move it, groove it, play it like it is!
You can blow your mind, you can wear it in town
But it don't mean a thing when there ain't no sound!
Take a saxophone, an 88
A set of skins, and you think they're great!
But they are not, unless they got
A place for the music to come out!
You gotta have a place, just a little bitty place
Yeah, you gotta have a place, maybe just a little space
A place for the music to come out!

Human Behaviour
Human Behaviour
Composer(s): Björk; Nellee Hooper
Performer(s): Björk; Michael Armstrong
If you ever get close to a human
And human behaviour
Be ready to get confused
There's definitely, definitely, definitely no logic
To human behaviour
But yet so, yet so irresistible
And there's no map
They're terribly moody
And human behaviour
Then all of a sudden turn happy
But, oh, to get involved in the exchange
Of human emotions is ever so, ever so satisfying
Oh oh, and there's no map
Human behaviour, human
Human, human behaviour, human
Human, human behaviour, human
Human behaviour, human
And there's no map
And a compass
Wouldn't help at all
Human behaviour, human, human
Human behaviour, human
Human behaviour, human

There's definitely, definitely, definitely no logic
Human, human

Composer(s): Jimmy Buffett
Performer(s): Jimmy Buffett
and multiple other artists
Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call
Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall
You've seen it all, you've seen it all
Watched the men who rode you switch from sails to steam
And in your belly you hold the treasures few have ever seen
Most of 'em dream, most of 'em dream
Yes I am a pirate, two hundred years too late
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder
I'm an over-forty victim of fate
Arriving too late, arriving too late
I've done a bit of smugglin', I've run my share of grass
I made enough money to buy Miami, but I pissed it away so fast
Never meant to last, never meant to last
And I have been drunk now for over two weeks
I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks
But I got stop wishin', got to go fishin'
Down to rock bottom again
Just a few friends, just a few friends
I go for younger women, lived with several awhile
Though I ran 'em away, they'd come back one day
Still could manage to smile
Just takes a while, just takes a while
Mother, mother ocean, after all the years I've found
My occupational hazard being my occupation's just not around
I feel like I've drowned, gonna head uptown
I feel like I've drowned, gonna head uptown

Composer(s): McEntee; Peiken
Performer(s): The Pretenders
I play a good game, but not good as you
I can be a little cold, but you can be so cruel
I'm not made of brick, I'm not made of stone
But I had you fooled enough
to take me on
If love was a war, it's you who has won
While I was confessing it, you held your tongue
Now the damage is done...
Chorus:
Well there's blood in these veins
And I cry when in pain
I'm only human on the inside
And if looks can deceive
Make it hard to believe
I'm only human on the inside
I thought you'd come through
I thought you'd come clean
You were the best thing I should never have seen
But you go to extremes, you push me too far
Then you keep going 'til you break my heart
Yeah, you break my heart
See I bleed and I bruise, oh, but what's it to you
I'm only human on the inside
And if looks could deceive
Make it hard to believe
I'm only human on the inside
I crash and I burn, maybe some day you'll learn
I'm only human on the inside
I stumble and fall, baby, under it all
I'm only human on the inside
And the damage is done...
Chorus:
Well there's blood in these veins
And I cry when in pain
I'm only human on the inside
And if looks can deceive
Make it hard to believe
I'm only human on the inside
I crash and I burn, maybe some day you'll learn
I stumble and fall, baby, I do it all
I'm only human on the inside
