Y.M.C.A.


Y.M.C.A.
Composer(s): Henri Belolo;
Jacques Morali; Victor Edward Willis
Performer(s): The Village People



Young man, there's no need to feel down
I said, young man, pick yourself off the ground
I said, young man, 'cause you're in a new town
There's no need to be unhappy

Young man, there's a place you can go
I said, young man, when you're short on your dough
You can stay there, and I'm sure you will find
Many ways to have a good time

It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.
It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.
They have everything for young men to enjoy
You can hang out with all the boys

It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.
It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.
You can get yourself clean
You can have a good meal
You can do whatever you feel

Young man, Are you listeneing to me
I said, young man, what do you want to be
I said, young man, you can make real your dreams
but you've got to know this one thing

No man, does it all by himself
I said, young man, put your pride on the shelf
And just go there, to the Y.M.C.A.
I'm sure they can help you today

It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.
It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.
They have everything for young men to enjoy
You can hang out with all the boys

It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.
It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.
You can get yourself clean
You can have a good meal
You can do whatever you feel

Young Man, I was once in your shoes
I said, I was down and out with the blues
I felt, no man cared if I were alive
I felt the whole world was so jive

That's when someone came up to me
and said young man take a walk up the street
There's a place there called the Y.M.C.A.
They can start you back on your way

It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.
It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.
They have everything for young men to enjoy
You can hang out with all the boys

Y.M.C.A.
It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.
It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.
Young man, Young man, there's no need to feel down
Young man, Young man, pick yourself off the ground

Y.M.C.A.
just go to the Y.M.C.A.
Young Man, Young Man, I was once in your shoes
Young Man, Young Man, I was out with the blues

Y.M.C.A.
Y.M.C.A.
Y.M.C.A.
Y.M.C.A.

Strange Weather


Strange Weather
Composer(s): Glenn Frey - Jay Oliver - Jack Tempchin
Performer(s): Glenn Frey



Here we are on a summer night, staring at the sea
Tell me is there something wrong?
You know you can talk to me
I can hear it in your voice, I can see it in your eyes
There's a stillness in the air that makes me wanna cry

Strange weather, dark clouds in the sky
Strange weather for you and I

We've been through so much together,
But nothing quite like this
Something's come between us now,
I can't feel it in your kiss
So tell me girl what's in your heart,
Just put your hand in mine
I feel the storm is coming soon
And we're running out of time

Strange weather, somehow we'll survive
Strange weather, we'll keep our love alive
Strange weather, dark clouds in the sky
Strange weather for you and I

So think it over one last time, don't say this is the end
Cause I remember how it use to be,
And it can be that way again

Strange weather, somehow we'll survive
Strange weather, we'll keep our love alive
Strange weather, dark clouds in the sky
Strange weather, for you and I

Yet I Know


Yet I Know
((Adapted from: Et Pourtant (Charles Aznavour) - 1963))
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Georges Garvarentz - Don Raye
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour - 1965

Versions In Other Languages:
1965 - Ik weet (Ik Kan Niet Zonder Jou) (Corry Brokken)
1965 - Y Por Tanto (Charles Aznavour)



Yet I know, I know
There's no one else for me
Yes I know, I know
There's no one else for me
Yes I know, I know
There's no one else for me
Yes I know

Someday I hope I wake up feeling differently
And find at last that you and I are through
I'll be free of the love that has chained me to you
Yet I know, Yet I know
You won't believe that I am really leaving you
And that I'll take back my heart with no regrets
Not a tear, not a sigh, I'll just say "Goodbye"
Then I'll turn and walk out of your life
And forget

Yet I know, I know
There's no one else for me
Yes I know, I know
There's no one else for me
Yes I know, I know
There's no one else for me
Yes I know

I'll find two arms, two other lips to welcome me
And you'll become a faded memory
Out of site, out of mind and my heart will be free
Yet I know, yet I know
You'll think I'm weak and I'll come running back to you
So you'll be strong and play the waiting game
Don't wait too many years when I dry my tears
And I'll almost forget how you look
And your name

Yet I know, I know
There's no one else for me
Yes I know, I know
There's no one else for me
Yes I know, I know
There's no one else for me
Yet I know

What For?


What For?
Composer(s): Janis Lusens - Guntars Racs
First performance by: Aisha - 2010



I've asked my angels why, but they don't know
What for do mothers cry and rivers flow?
Why are the skies so blue and mountains high?
What for is your love always passing by?

I've asked my uncle Joe, but he can't speak
Why does the wind still blow and blood still leaks?
So many questions now with no reply
What for do people live until they die?

What for are we living?
What for are we crying?
What for are we dying?
Only Mr God knows why

What for are we living?
What for are we dreaming?
What for are we losing?
Only Mr God knows why

But his phone today is out of range

The sun in colour black is rising high
The time is turning back, I wonder why
So many questions now with no reply
What for do people live until they die?

What for are we living?
What for are we crying?
What for are we dying?
Only Mr God knows why

What for are we living?
What for are we dreaming?
What for are we losing?
Only Mr God knows why

(What for are we living?) What for we're living?
(What for are we crying?) Crying
(What for are we dying?) Dying
(Only Mr God knows why) Mr God knows why

(What for are we living?)
(What for are we dreaming?) Dreaming
(What for are we losing?)
(Only Mr God knows why) Only God knows why

(Why)
(Only God knows who we are)

Yester-Me, Yester-You, Yesterday


Yester-Me, Yester-You, Yesterday
Composer(s): Ron Miller; Bryan Wells
Performer(s): Stevie Wonder;
and various other artists



What happened to the world we knew
When we would dream and scheme
And while the time away
Yesterme yesteryou yesterday
Where did it go that yester glow
When we could feel
The wheel of life turn our way
Yesterme yesteryou yesterday
I had a dream so did you life
Was warm and love was true
Two kids who followed all the rules
Yester folls and now
Now it seems those yester dreams
Were just a cruel
And foolish game we used to play
Yesterme yesteryou yesterday
When I recall what we had
I feel lost I feel sad with nothing but
The memory of yester love and now
Now it seems those yester dreams
Were just a cruel
And foolish game we had to play
Yesterme yesteryou yesterday
Yesterme yesteryou yesterday
Sing with me
Yesterme yesteryou yesterday
One more time.....

Strange Street Affair Under Blue


Strange Street Affair Under Blue
Composer(s): Larry Beckett - Tim Buckley
Performer(s): Tim Buckley



Just for you with your open hands
Waiting for the touch of man
Clutching with your blackened gloves
You try to capture all the doves
That flee into
The forest before you

You wish to catch and cage me now
I wonder if you remember how
Hard it was to say the names
Of mirror dreams and cheated games
And on the wall
You framed your first lover

Your form intrigues me with the glow
I'll remember you I know
Though I forgot to lock the chain
Around you with a prayer for rain
To bring the call
To drive you back into my bed

Ahhh....
She turns away
Telling me to follow for a while
Ahhh....
She waits

You'd be touched if you would touch
But you only reach and taunt
Will my taste stay grey and blue
If I try to turn from you

Yesterday's Winner Is A Loser Today


Yesterday's Winner Is A Loser Today
Composer(s): Ernest Tubb; Jimmie Skinner; Jesse Rodgers
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb;
James King; Jimmie Skinner



The world loves a winner but someone must lose
There's bound to be someone left with the blues

So why should I worry when you go away
Yesterday's winner is a loser today
Now I know that I find this heart to play fair
But somehow I wonder if you really care

Was it love that you gave dear, or just foolish play
Yesterday's winner is a loser today

Instrumentals – Guitar & Steel

Now I know there was someone in your life before
And I'm sure it's that someone that you still adore
Oh I wish it was different but there's no other way
Yesterday's winner is a loser today

So goodbye little darlin’ I'm sorry we met
It's easy to love but so hard to forget
Just remember my story here's all I can say ...
Yesterday's winner is a loser today

Työlki Ellää


Työlki Ellää
Composer(s): Timo Kiiskinen
First performance by: Kuunkuiskaajat - 2010



Mitä minä laulan kun olen iloinen
Mitä laitan leijailemaan päälle sävelten
Paljon päivänpaistetta ja poutapilviä
Torikauppiaille nauravia silmiä

Mä laulan
Paista päivä, kulje kunnon kuu
Työlki ellää, mut kaupal rikastuu

Mä laulan
Paista päivä, kulje kunnon kuu
Työlki ellää, mut kaupal rikastuu

Mitä minä laulan kun olen onneton
Mitä silloin sävelteni kannettava on
Sadetta ja myrskysäätä ylle kaupungin
Reikähousupelimannille pennin lantin

Mä laulan
Paista päivä, kulje kunnon kuu
Työlki ellää, mut kaupal rikastuu

Mä laulan
Paista päivä, kulje kunnon kuu
Työlki ellää, mut kaupal rikastuu

Mitä minä laulan kun rakastunut oon
Kantaako mun rakkauteni laulun kuutamoon
Samettia, silkkiä ja kultalankaa vaan
Siitä minun kullalleni paita ommellaan

Mä laulan
Paista päivä, kulje kunnon kuu
Työlki ellää, mut kaupal rikastuu

Mä laulan
Paista päivä, kulje kunnon kuu
Työlki ellää, mut kaupal rikastuu

Mitä minä laulan kun ittekseni meen
Mietin miksi aina uutta laulua mä teen
Kaksi kummaa lintua jo taivaanrannan taa
Lentää silloin kun on aika laulu lopettaa

Mä laulan
Paista päivä, kulje kunnon kuu
Työlki ellää, mut kaupal rikastuu

Mä laulan
Paista päivä, kulje kunnon kuu
Työlki ellää, mut kaupal rikastuu

Mä laulan
Paista päivä, kulje kunnon kuu
Työlki ellää, mut kaupal rikastuu

Yesterday's Wine


Yesterday's Wine
Composer(s): Willie Nelson
Performer(s): Willie Nelson;
David Allan Coe; Merle Haggard; George Jones;
Carl Manchaca; Marian Montgomery



Miracles appear in the strangest of places
Fancy meeting you here
The last time I saw you was just out of Houston
Sit down, let me buy you a beer

Your presence is welcome with me and my friend here
This is a hangout of mine
We come here quite often and listen to music
Partaking of yesterday's wine

(Chorus)
Yesterday's wine, I'm yesterday's wine
Aging with time, like yesterday's wine
Yesterday's wine, we're yesterday's wine
Aging with time, like yesterday's wine

You give the appearence of one widely travelled
I'll bet you've seen things in your time
So sit down beside me and tell me your story
If you think you'll like yesterday's wine

(Repeat chorus...)

Strange Phenomena


Strange Phenomena
Composer(s): Kate Bush
Performer(s): Kate Bush



Soon it will be the phase of the moon
When people tune in
Every girl knows about the punctual blues
But who's to know the power behind our moves?

A day of coincidence with the radio
And a word that won't go away
We know what they're all going to say
"G" arrives--"Funny, had a feeling he was on his way!"

We raise our hats to the strange phenomena
Soul-birds of a feather flock together
We raise our hats to the hand a-moulding us
Sure 'nuff, he has the answer
He has the answer
He has the answer, be-duh-be-duh-be-duh-be-duh...
"Om mani padme
Om mani padme
Om mani padme hum"

You pick up a paper
You read a name
You go out
It turns up again and again
You bump into a friend you haven't seen for a long time
Then into another you only thought about last night

You hear your sister calling for you
But you don't know where from
You know there's something wrong
But you don't want to believe in a premonition

We raise our hats to the strange phenomena
Soul-birds of a feather flock together
We raise our hats to the hand a-moulding us
Sure 'nuff, he has the answer
He has the answer
He has the answer, be-duh-be-duh-be-duh-be-duh...
"Om mani padme
Om mani padme
Om mani padme hum"

"Om mani padme hum
Om mani padme hum
Om mani padme hum
Om mani padme hum..."

Yesterday's Tears


Yesterday's Tears
Composer(s): Ernest Tubb
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb



Yesterday’s Tears are still falling
Yesterday’s dreams are still broken
Yesterday’s love is still living
A love that will never be spoken

I’ve tried so hard to forget Dear
Tried not to spoil everything
You are the one who has given
But all you’ve received dear is pain

My life has been such a sorrow
My world has crumbled like clay
My heart has slowly been dieing
Since you told me goodbye that day

Instrumentals

Long wary years you have suffered
To keep from hurting someone
If only I could repay you
For all of the kind things you have done

You have inspired me my darling
Everything to you I owe
All I can say is I love you
So much more than anyone knows

So, Yesterday’s Tears are still falling
Yesterday’s dreams are still broken
Yesterday’s love is still living
A love that will never be spoken

Siren


Siren
Composer(s): Robin Juhkental
First performance by: Malcolm Lincoln & Manpower 4 - 2010



Siren in my head, is making awful sound
It's time to make it clear
What is lost and what is found?

My life has been oh lame
Has been oh lame so far
I wasted years, I wasted time
Trying to reach the stars
My life has been oh lame
Has been oh lame so far

Give me time and give me strength
Give me strenght to carry on
Give me bit of hope now, help me through the night
Give me time and give me strength
Give me strenght to carry on
Give me bit of hope now, help me through the night

Siren in my head, yes, I can hear it again
Is it just the beginning, or is it the end?

My life has been oh lame
Has been oh lame so far
I wasted years, I wasted time
Trying to reach the stars
My life has been oh lame
Has been oh lame so far

Give me time and give me strength
Give me strenght to carry on
Give me bit of hope now, help me through the night
Give me time and give me strength
Give me strenght to carry on
Give me bit of hope now, help me through the night

Give me time and give me strength
Give me strenght to carry on
Give me bit of hope now, help me through the night
Give me time and give me strenght
Give me strenght to carry on
Give me bit of hope now, help me through the night

Yesterday's Songs


Yesterday's Songs
Composer(s): Neil Diamond
Performer(s): Neil Diamond; Gary Tesca



Yesterday's songs
Don't stay around long
Not much anymore
Yesterday's words
Don't make themselves heard
Like they did before

Baby, yesterday's blues
May be yesterday's news
But the truth always stays the same
And the good things will never change
Like sayin' 'I love you'
Sayin' 'I love you'

Yesterday's songs
Don't seem to belong
They're here and they're gone

Yesterday's moves
Don't stay in the grooves
They keep moving on

Maybe yesterday's rhyme
Was for yesterday's time
And the future's not ours to see
But there's some things that always will be
Like sayin' 'I love you'
Sayin' 'I love you'

Strange Music


Strange Music
Composer(s): Edvard Grieg - George Forrest - Robert C. Wright
Performer(s): Bing Crosby
and multiple other artists



Soft breeze, whispering trees
The summer winds are sighing
The leaves are lullabying
Violins are all around you
I can hear the chords resound
Of sounding brass
That seems to say I've found
I've found you, I've found you

Strange music in my ears
Only now as you spoke, did it start
Strange music of the sphere
Could its lovely hum be coming from my heart?
You appear and I hear song sublime
Song that I'm incapable of
So Dear, let me hold you near
While we treasure ev'ry measure
So that time can never change
The strange, new music of love

So Dear, let me hold you near
While we treasure ev'ry measure
So that time can never change
The strange, new music of love

Yesterday's Papers


Yesterday's Papers
Composer(s): Mick Jagger; Keith Richards
Performer(s): The Rolling Stones; Chris Farlowe



Who wants yesterday's papers
Who wants yesterday's girl
Who wants yesterday's papers
Nobody in the world

After this time I finally learned
After the pain and hurt
After all this what have I achieved
I've realised it's time to leave

Cause
Who wants yesterday's papers
Who wants yesterday's girl
Who wants yesterday's papers
Nobody in the world

Living a life of constant change
Every day means the turn of a page
Yesterdays papers are such bad news
Same thing applies to me and you

Who wants yesterday's papers
Who wants yesterday's girl
Who wants yesterday's papers
Nobody in the world

Seems very hard to have just one girl
When there's a million in the world
All of these people just can't wait
To fall right into their big mistake

Who wants yesterday's papers
Who wants yesterday's girl
Who wants yesterday's papers
Nobody in the world

In A Moment Like This


In A Moment Like This
Composer(s): Thomas G:son - Henrik Sethsson - Erik Bernholm
First performance by: Chanée & N'Evergreen - 2010



For as long as I remember
For as long as I've been blue
Every day since we've been parted
All I thought about was you

Didn't need the time for sorrow
Didn't need the time for pain
What am I supposed to do
When living without you
Was the worst I ever knew?

In a moment like this
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know what you're looking for
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know if you'll ask for more
Oh... in a moment like this
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know what I have to do
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know how to get to you
Oh... in a moment like this

Ever since the day you left me
Ooh… ever since you went away
I'm lost and I don't know
Where am I supposed to go?
I still miss you so

In a moment like this
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know what you're looking for
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know if you'll ask for more
Oh... in a moment like this

When I need for you to hold me
Say you love and never leave me
My heart will forever be true

In a moment like this
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know what you're looking for
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know if you'll ask for more
Oh... in a moment like this
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know what I have to do
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know how to get to you
Oh... in a moment like this

Yesterday's Memories


Yesterday's Memories
Performer(s): Eddy Arnold



Yesterday's mem'ries won't let me go

Goin' to the place where we used to park
Just like always, it was still and dark
But it was a little too much for my poor heart
Yesterday's mem'ries tore me apart

Today I walked down to that little café where we used to go
And I waited for our favourite booth
The one we always sat in, not too long ago
But when I sat down, tears began to flow
Yesterday's mem'ries won't let me go

Anymore, if there's anyone around I start to cry
I just say, "Excuse me, but there's a mem'ry in my eye"
Oh my friends, things were mine, they ought to be
That I was happy with new arms wrapped around me
But as I lied, I cried, and they could see
Yesterday's mem'ries, got hold of me

Yesterday's Hero


Yesterday's Hero
Composer(s): Harry Vanda; George Young
Performer(s): The Bay City Rollers;
Ignatius Jones; John Paul Young



When we walk down the street
See the people who stop and stare
And say, haven`t I seen that face
Somewhere a long time ago

When we walk down the street
See the stranger who says
Why, hi, well, how you doing, buddy
When you walked on by
I thought I`d say hello

They say, haven`t I
Seen your face before
Weren`t you the boy
That used to live next door
Weren`t you on
Television every night
Haven`t I seen you round

(Chorus)
We don`t wanna be
A yesterday`s hero
Yesterday`s hero
That`s all we`ll be
We don`t wanna be
A yesterday`s hero
Yesterday`s hero
Is all that we`re gonna be
If we don`t get together
Make a new plan and
Be constantly better
All that we`ll be if we
Don`t get it together now

When we walk down the street
If you know me, then pass me by
If you wonder what I`m doing
Don`t ask me why
I don`t read the news

When we walk down the street
If you`re sorry
Then don`t feel bad
If you follow my story
I`m just as glad
You ain`t in my shoes

Because haven`t you
Seen my face before
Yes, I was the boy
Who used to live next door
Yes, I was on
Television every night
Haven`t you seen me round

(Chorus)

We don`t wanna be
Yesterday`s hero
Yesterday`s hero, no, no

We don`t wanna be
Yesterday`s hero, no
Yesterday`s hero, no, no

We don`t wanna be
Yesterday`s hero
Yesterday`s hero, no, no

We don`t wanna be
Yesterday`s hero....
