Thunder And Lightning (Phil Collins)
Thunder And Lightning
Composer(s): Phil Collins
Performer(s): Phil Collins
I never thought I'd ever get tired of playing games
But I've been holding back for too long
Now the time has come to get it right
Now's the time to show them all that they're wrong
'Cause they said thunder and they said lightning
It would never strike twice
Oh but if that's true, why can't you tell me
How come this feels so nice
Oh it feels alright
Never ever did believe in guiding lights
'Cause what you didn't hold, slipped away
Oh but there's a feeling deep down in my shoe
'Cause things look like they're going my way
'Cause they say thunder and they say lightning
It would never strike twice
Oh but if that's true, why can't you tell me
How come this feels so nice
Oh it feels alright
I never ever did believe in a second chance
You get, just one crack of the whip, that's all
If you played the game, you got treated right
Oh but I'm not playing the game, no more
'Cause they say thunder and they say lightning
It would never strike twice
Oh but if that's true, why can't you tell me
How come this feels so nice
Oh it feels alright

Yearning to feel you, the one I can’t agree with
Yearning to hear you call my name

Please forgive me take me back again
I’ll never be the same without you darling
You’ll always be my, everything
My love for you still burning
And my poor heart is Yearning
While you ware another’s name
(Instrumental)
Yearning to hold you
And let my arms enfold you
Yearning to hear you call my name
Yearning to kiss you
O’ Darling how I miss you
O’ How I wish you felt the same
I never knew how much you cared about me
I thought that you were fooling me
Now I’m Yearning to kiss you
O’ Darling how I miss you
I wish that we could make amends sweetheart
I’m Yearning to be with you Sweetheart

Story Of The Rockers
Story Of The Rockers
Composer(s): Jim Pewter

It started out with Haley's Comets
A-rockin' round the clock
Well, then along came Presley
With some hillbilly rock, now
Mix it in with Carl Perkins
Chuck Berry when he's workin'
And Little Richard out of Macon
Inspired Jerry Lee to shakin'
Slow down the tempo with the Fat Man
Bring back the rhythm with Bo's band
Don and Phil and Eddie Cochran
And Buddy Holly kept a-rockin'
And that's the story of the rockers
Yeah, who kept us dancin'
Everybody was movin'
And it looked [felt] so fine
Yeah, you could feel the emotion
As you looked around
Sock it to me rockers
Roll it down the line
Jump back down to to Philly
For a daily Bandstand Rock
At The Hop with Danny's Juniors
The Stroll was very hot now
Rydell, Cannon and Dion sang
While Eddy's Rebels twanged on
Soon the world a-started twistin'
With the Checker dance
The Four Seasons sang Sherry
While Barry Gordy shopped the Champs
Ike and Tina and a-Uncle Ray
Along with Shannon's Runaway
And that's the story of the rockers
Yeah, who kept us dancin'
Everybody was movin'
And it looked [felt] so fine
Yeah, you could feel the emotion
As you looked around
Sock it to me rockers
Roll it down the line
The West Coast started surfin'
With the Beach Boy band
Jan and Dean and the Surfaris
Spread the songs throughout the land
And soon the Beatles from a-Liverpool
Electrified, began to rule
Roll out the Stones with Satisfaction
Mix in a bit of blues reaction
Byrds and Spoonful got in motion
With a very good time notion *
Otis Redding and Revue
Young Rascals attitude
And that's the story of the rockers
Yeah, who kept us dancin'
Everybody was movin'
And it looked [felt] so fine
Yeah, you could feel the emotion

Year Of The Guru
Year Of The Guru
Composer(s): Eric Burdon
Performer(s): The Animals
My leader told me to jump in the river
The river was deep and the weather was winter
After a sailer very kindly saved me
My leader told me, you'd better take it easy
I took it so easy my leader called me lazy
Through the lack of red meat
Everything was getting hazy
Friends looked at me and said,
Man, you gotta be crazy
Oh, oh leader
My leader said son you'd better get yourself together
never mind the fools who know what we're getting into
But a forty mile walk would do us both a world of good
and he sat down and watched me take off down the road
Well, I walked so far my feet began to bleed
If this was good for me I just couldn't see it
A motorist picked me up and said
Look man, you must be crazy
Oh, oh leader
Oh, oh leader
My leader came to see me in a hospital bed
Well at least I really knew that my leader really cared
After giving me a second-hand roach
He said where's your donation man,
It's all for a good cause.
He left me all alone to work the riddle out
But I just couldn't make it so I began to shout
They stuck a hypodermic deep down into me
Said, look out nurse I think we got a loony
Oh, oh leader
Okay baby follow me now
Follow your leader
All rightNow here I sit in a state-run asylum
Limitless, friendless but much more together
I decided to do some good book readin'
About the art of people leadin'
Now I'm the leader and they're being led
What's the matter if they're crazy till you hear what I've said
Being the leader is really where its at
But just how long can a good thing last
Oh, oh leader
Oh, oh leader
Now listen to this baby
This is the year of the guru
Now the thing to do is to ask yourself
What can a guru do for me?
Then you say to yourself
I gotta get a guru

Life Looks Better In Spring
Life Looks Better In Spring
Composer(s): Nasos Lambrianides - Melis Konstantinou
First performance by: Jon Lilygreen & The Islanders - 2010
Time changes everything, even you and I have changed
The rain the winters bring has made us fade away
I still remember everything, that old December, the fears, the cold
I really wonder how you feel on these nights, all alone
I hope someday you'll see me
I hope someday you'll spot me in the crowd
Take my hand and kiss me
I hope someday you'll say my name out loud
(Tell me) Tell me about your feelings, tell me about your stories
Look into my eyes and come on closer, make me immortal with a kiss
(Tell me) Tell me about your feelings, tell me about your stories
We know it's over, so tell me it's over and life will be better in spring
Time changes everything, but this feeling, it still remains
The sweetness of the lips I kissed will always be the same
I hope someday you'll see me
I hope someday you'll spot me in the crowd
Smile and say you miss me
I hope someday you'll say my name out loud
(Tell me) Tell me about your feelings, tell me about your stories
Look into my eyes and come on closer, make me immortal with a kiss
(Tell me) Tell me about your feelings, tell me about your stories
We know it's over, so tell me it's over and life will be better in spring
(Tell me) Tell me about your feelings, tell me about your stories
Look into my eyes and come on closer, make me immortal with a kiss
(Tell me) Tell me about your feelings, tell me about your stories
We know it's over, so tell me it's over and life will be better in spring

Year Of The Cat
Year Of The Cat
Composer(s): Al Stewart; Peter Wood
Performer(s): Al Stewart; BB Band;
Hanne Boel; The Countdown Singers
On a morning from a Bogart movie
In a country where they turn back time
You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre
Contemplating a crime
She comes out of the sun in a silk dress running
Like a watercolour in the rain
Don't bother asking for explanations
She'll just tell you that she came
In the year of the cat
She doesn't give you time for questions
As she locks up your arm in hers
And you follow 'till your sense of which direction
Completely disappears
By the blue tiled walls near the market stalls
There's a hidden door she leads you to
These days, she says, I feel my life
Just like a river running through
The year of the cat
Well, she looks at you so cooly
And her eyes shine like the moon in the sea
She comes in incense and patchouli
So you take her, to find what's waiting inside
The year of the cat
Well, morning comes and you're still with her
And the bus and the tourists are gone
And you've thrown away the choice and lost your ticket
So you have to stay on
But the drum-beat strains of the night remain
In the rhythm of the new-born day
You know sometime you're bound to leave her
But for now you're going to stay
In the year of the cat

Composer(s): Harold Arlen - Ted Koehler
First performance/First release by: Ethel Waters & Duke Ellington & His Orch./Leo Reisman & His Orch. - 1933
Covered by multiple other artists
Don't know why
There's no sun up in the sky
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain't together
Keeps raining all the time
Life is bare
Gloom and misery everywhere
Stormy weather
Just can't get my poor old self together
I'm weary all the time, the time
So weary all of the time
When he went away
The blues walked in and met me
If he stays away, old rocking chair will get me
All I do is pray
The lord above will let me
Walk in the sun once more
Can't go on
Everything I had is gone
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain't together
Keeps raining all the time
Keeps raining all of the time
I walk around,
Heavy-hearted and sad
Night comes around
And I'm still feeling bad
Rain pourin' down
Blinding every hope I had
This pitter 'n patter 'n beatin' 'n spatterin' drivin' me mad
Love, love, love, love
This misery will be the end of me
When he went away
The blues walked in and met me
If he stays away, old rocking chair will get me
All I do is pray
The lord above will let me
Walk in the sun once more
Can't go on
Everything I had is gone
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain't together
Keeps raining all the time, the time
Keeps raining all the time

Run Away
Run Away
Composer(s): Anton Ragoza - Sergey Stepanov - Alina Galetskaya
First performance by: Sunstroke Project & Olia Tira - 2010
Oh... forget, let me breathe, let me live
Just run away from my mind
Oh... forgive, I don't need, I won't breathe
Just get away from my life
You've lost one and all, so fly away
Over the clouds, under the sky
Never come back and run away
With all your might, give up you
I don't believe anymore your shallow heart
I know that it's you who chose to play this trick
I'll never forgive you, not for anything
And now you are left with nothing
Oh... forget, let me breathe, let me live
Just run away from my mind
Oh... forgive, I don't need, I won't breathe
Just get away from my life
Oh... forget, let me breathe, let me live
Just run away from my mind
Oh... forgive, I don't need, I won't breathe
Just get away from my life
There's no other time to making happiness
You have mistaken
We have no progressive future
I know your lying nature
There's no other time to making happiness
You have mistaken
We have no progressive future
I know your lying nature
Oh... forget, let me breathe, let me live
Just run away from my mind
Oh... forgive, I don't need, I won't breathe
Just get away from my life
Oh... forget, let me breathe, let me live
Just run away from my mind
Oh... forgive, I don't need, I won't breathe
Just get away from my life

Y'Avait Du Soleil
Y'Avait Du Soleil
Composer(s): Jean Lenoir
Performer(s): Edith Piaf
Dans tout le raffut des musiques
Des pianos mécaniques
Des manèges électriques
Un jour, à la fête de Saint-Cloud
Dans un tir, je vois un grand type
Avec toute une équipe
Pan, l'œuf et pan, la pipe
Et la fille faisait mouche à tout coup
Tout autour, on s'marrait
Et comme j'étais tout près
Il m'a offert du nougat, du surpain
Du premier coup on était deux copains
Y avait du soleil ce jour-là
Je revois tout ça, c'est loin déjà
Mais ça me tourne encore la tête
Il riait, même sortant de la fête
Un p'tit porto, deux doigts d'écho
Demain on se reverra coco...
Je voulais pas tomber dans ses bras
Oui, mais voilà...
Y avait du soleil, ce jour-là...
Je revois nos balades de première
Sur ma moto, pépère
Lui devant, moi derrière
Comme ça gazait, la joie au cœur
Surtout notre premier dimanche
Arrêtés sous les branches
Il avait carte blanche
Pour me donner tous les bonheurs
Le plafond, c'était le ciel
Alors, tout naturel'
Dans l'herbe tendre on a cueilli d'abord
Des fleurs, et puis l'amour encore, encore...
Y avait du soleil, ce jour-là
Et les lilas, je revois tout ça
Comme il riait sur l'herbe épaisse
Même son rire c'était une caresse
Ça chantait partout dans les nids
Moi je soupirais : "C'est le paradis
Dis-moi que jamais on ne se quittera...
Tant que tu voudras..."
Y avait du soleil, ce jour-là...
La-la-la...
Dis-moi que jamais on ne se quittera...
Tant que tu voudras...
Y avait du soleil, ce jour-là...

Stormy Horizons
Stormy Horizons
Composer(s): Frank Iris - Ira Louvin
Performer(s): Jim & Jesse; Donnie "Dobro" Scott
I scarcely hear the wild wind's cry or feel its sudden blast
A greater storm just swept my world apart
Today you're with someday new my hopes are gone at last
There's stormy horizons in my heart
Rain swept and tattered like the rose in the wind
Stormy horizons without and within
You were all that mattered but you wanted to be free
Now stormy horizons wait for me
Of things as fragile and as sweet as roses dreams are made
And dreams we had you held so carelessly
They fell like petals round my feet I saw my rainbow fade
Now stormy horizons wait for me

Y'Avait Donc Pas De Quoi
Y'Avait Donc Pas De Quoi
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Je suis sorti pour aller nulle part
Et le plus fort c'est que je suis allé
Je n'y ai rencontré personne
Alors bien sur il ne m'est rien arrivé
C'était un jour sans soleil ni brouillard
Je n'étais pas triste et n'étais pas gai
Les rues n'étaient pas monotones
Et rien n'était particulier
Y'avait donc pas de quoi
Pas de quoi
En faire une chanson
Mais j'avais rien à faire
Alors j'en ai fait une, ai fait une
Ai fait une
Et ça vaut bien mieux dans le fond
Que de faire la guerre
Personne ne m'a offert un pont d'or
Je n'ai pas non plus rencontrer l'amour
Je ne me sentais pas malade
C'était un jour, comme un million d'autres jours
Je n'ai pas bu à en être ivre-mort
Aucun malheur n'est venu me frapper
J'ai fait une simple balade
Sans aucune arrière-pensée
Y'avait donc pas de quoi
Pas de quoi
En faire une chanson
Mais j'avais rien à faire
Alors j'en ai fait une, ai fait une
Ai fait une
Et ça vaut bien mieux dans le fond
Que de faire la guerre
Sans trop savoir ni pourquoi ni comment
Tandis que la nuit remplaçait le jour
Mes pieds ont emprunté de même
Tout benoîtement le chemin du retour
Arrivé chez moi pour trompé le temps
Je n'ai rien fait que des ronds de fumée
Et comme j'étais sans problème
Dans mon lit je me suis coulé
Y'avait donc pas de quoi
Pas de quoi
En faire une chanson
Mais j'avais rien à faire
Alors j'en ai fait une, ai fait une
Ai fait une
Et ça vaut bien mieux dans le fond
Que de faire la guerre

My Heart Is Yours
My Heart Is Yours
Composer(s): Fredrik Kempe - Hanne Margrethe Fredriksen Sørvaag
First performance by: Didrik Solli-Tangen - 2010
You are like a sunset behind a mountain somewhere
And when I cannot see you, I know you're still there
Because my heart is yours, I'll never leave you
Though we are far apart, I'm by your side
My love is never gone, I feel it rise again
Through it all, now my heart is yours
You say I am the moonlight, I watch you at night
And when you cannot see me, I'm still there in the sky
Because my heart is yours, I'll never leave you
Though we are far apart, I'm by your side
My love is never gone, I feel it rise again
Through it all, now my heart is yours
Because my heart is yours, I'll never leave you
Though we are far apart, I'm by your side
My love is never gone, I feel it rise again
Through it all, now my heart is yours

Yardbird Suite
Yardbird Suite
Composer(s): Charlie Parker; Eddie Jefferson
Performer(s): Charlie Parker;
and various other artists
It's hard to learn
How tears can burn one's heart
But that's a thing that I found out
Too late I guess
'Cause I'm in a mess
My faith has gone ...
Why lead me on this way?
I thought there'd be no price on love
But I had to pay
If I could perform one miracle
I'd revive your thoughts of me
Yet I know that it's hopeless
You could never really care
That's why I despair!
I'll go along hoping
Someday you'll learn
The flame in my heart, Dear
Forever will burn!

Stormy Down
Stormy Down
Composer(s): Dave Cousins
Performer(s): Strawbs
The night sky hung so heavy
The wet road shone so bright
Reflecting back my headlights
As I drove on in the night
To Stormy Down
I drew into a lay-by
My eyes were dark with strain
Turning up my collar
I walked out in the rain
On Stormy Down
I was high on Stormy Down
Thinking of my friends below
But they had gone some other way
They did not want to know
About Stormy Down
I thought I saw the devil
In the branches of a tree
It was just imagination
But he looked a lot like me
On Stormy Down
The cold moon drew strange faces
On a slowly changing cloud
One looked like God the father
And I shouted right out loud
On Stormy Down

Yann Et Les Dauphins
Yann Et Les Dauphins
Composer(s): Étienne Roda-Gil; Julien Clerc
Performer(s): Julien Clerc
Savez-vous ce que racontent
Les dauphins des grandes mers
Une histoire de ce monde
Mais d'un autre univers
Tout près d'un port des Flandres
Il y a bien longtemps
Yann avait un navire
Mais n'avait pas seize ans
{Refrain:}
N'est pas pirate qui veut
Sur la grande mer du Nord
N'est pas heureux qui veut
Dans la grande course au trésor
Yann fit son équipage
De fuyards encerclés
De forbans les plus louches
Et de filles damnées
Quand ils furent au large
Toutes voiles dehors
Yann et son équipage
Proclamèrent l'Age d'Or
{Refrain}
Sur le pont du navire
Toujours il y avait bal
On buvait sans être ivre
On aimait sans carnaval
Vingt vaisseaux de dix empires
Coulèrent Yann un soir
On entendait claquer des rires
Parmi les voiles noires
Avec son équipage
Il partit lentement
Vers d'autres rivages
Chevauchant les grands dauphins blancs
C'est l'histoire que racontent
Les dauphins à leurs enfants
Yann avait un navire
Mais n'avait pas seize ans
Mais n'est pas pirate qui veut...

Algo Pequeñito
Algo Pequeñito
First performance by: Daniel Diges - 2010
Algo pequeñito, algo chiquitito
Una rosa blanca, una caricia, un beso dulce y un perdón
Algo pequeñito, algo chiquitito
Un gesto tierno, una mirada, un abrazo o una flor
Algo pequeñito, algo chiquitito
Un simple te quiero, con dulzura, con cariño y con pasión
Es lo que te pido amor, mi vida se derrumba, me partes el corazón
Trata pronto de cambiar, el tiempo se termina ahora de verdad
Algo pequeñito
Algo chiquitito
Cosas simples que ahora no me das
Que te pido con locura si no quieres terminar
Algo pequeñito
Algo chiquitito
En tus manos tienes la ocasión
Hoy decides si quererme o romperme el corazón
Algo pequeñito, algo muy bonito
Tu pelo al viento que se enreda entre mis manos al calor
Has sabido comprender que las pequeñas cosas son las que hacen esto arder
Ahora trata de cambiar que el resto de las cosas ya se arreglarán
Algo pequeñito
Algo chiquitito
Cosas simples que ahora si me das
Que te quiero con locura y siempre yo te voy a amar
Algo pequeñito
Algo chiquitito
En tus manos tienes la ocasión
Decidiste tú quererme y no romperme el corazón
Y no romperme el corazón
Algo pequeñito
Algo chiquitito
Cosas simples que ahora no me das
Que te pido con locura si no quieres terminar
Algo pequeñito
Algo chiquitito
En tus manos tienes la ocasión
Hoy decides si quererme o romperme el corazón

Yankee Whalermen
Yankee Whalermen
(Traditional)
Farewell and adieu to you Spanish ladies
Farewell and adieu to you ladies of Spain
For we've received orders to sail from New England
And we hope in a short time to see you again
Chorus:
We'll rant and we'll roar like true Yankee Whalermen
We'll rant and we'll roar on deck and below
Until we sight Gayhead off old Martha's Vineyard
And straight up the channel to New Bedford we'll go
We hove our our ship to with the wind from the sou'west, boys
We hove our our ship to deep soundings to take
'Twas 45 fathoms with light sandy bottom
We squared our main yard and up channel did make
Chorus
I went to a dance one night in Tombaz
There were plenty of girls there as fine as you wish
There was one pretty maiden a chewin' tobacco
Just like a young kitten a chewin' fresh fish
Chorus
Then the signal was sent for the grand ship to anchor
And all in the downs that night for to lie
Let go your shank painter, let go your cat stopper
Haul up your clew garnets, let tacks and sheets fly
Chorus
----------
Alternative Version:
Spanish Ladies (aka Farewell And Adieu To You)
(Traditional English Shanty)
Farewell and adieu to you fine Spanish ladies
Farwell and adieu all you ladies of Spain
For we've received orders to sail for old England
And perhaps we shall never more see you again
Chorus:
We'll rant and we'll roar like true British sailors
We'll range and we'll roam over all the salt seas
Until we strike soundings in the Channel of old England
From Ushant to Scilly 'tis thirty-five leagues
Then we hove our ship to, with the wind at sou'-west, my boys
Then we hove our ship to, for to strike soundings clear
Then we filled the main topsail and bore right away, my boys
And straight up the Channel of old England did steer
Chorus
So the first land we made it is called the Deadman
Next Ram Head off Plymouth, Start, Portland and the Wight
We sailed hy Beachy, by Fairly and Dungeness
And then bore away for the South Foreland light
Chorus
Now the signal it was made for the Grand Fleet to anchor
All on the Downs that night for to meet
Then stand by your stoppers, see clear your shank-painters
Haul all your clew garnets, stick out tacks and sheets
Chorus
Now let every man drink up his full bottle
Let every man drink up his full bowl
For we will be jolly and drown melancholy
With a health to each jovial and true-hearted soul
Chorus
