Say It Again (Precious)


Say It Again
Composer(s): Paul Varney
First performance by: Precious - 1999



Say it again...

I know I heard you right
I've been a-lyin' awake at night
Thinkin' about three words you said to me...

I know it's hard for you
Sometimes you gotta let the feeling through
I wanna know exactly how you feel
Ooh yeah

I've tried to be patient
And give you a little more time
Now I need to be sure
What's on your mind

Say it again (say it)
Say the words I heard you whisper
Say it again (say it)
When last night we were together
Lyin' next to me, you said to me
(Say it) say it again

I knew right from the start
You were livin' with a broken heart
But baby, I knew, could take some time to heal...

But now I must confess
The way you're fillin' me with happiness
Think that we could be startin' somethin' real
Ooh yeah...

I've tried to be patient
And give you a little more time
Now I need to be sure
What's on your mind

Say it again (say it)
Say the words I heard you whisper
Say it again (say it)
When last night we were together
Lyin' next to me, you said to me
(Say it) say it again

And I just need to be sure
That you're mine forever
All I'm asking you for
Is to tell me whether
I should be trustin' in you
Tell me if the words you whispered were true
Whoh

(Say it, say it, say it, say it...)

Say it again (say it)
Say the words I heard you whisper
Say it again (say it)
When last night we were together
Lyin' next to me, you said to me
(Say it)

Say it again (say it)
Say the words I heard you whisper
Say it again (say it)
When last night we were together
Lyin' next to me, you said to me
(Say it) say it again

Happiness (Bill Anderson)


Happiness
Composer(s): Bill Anderson
Performer(s): Bill Anderson



Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses
I thank the Lord I've been blessed
With more than my share of happiness

To me this old world is a wonderful place
And I'm just about the luckiest human in the whole human race
I've got no silver and I've got no gold
Just a whole lot of happiness in my soul

Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses
I thank the Lord I've been blessed
With more than my share of happiness

Happiness to me is an ocean tide
Or a sunset fading on a mountain side
Or maybe a big old heaven full of stars up above
When I'm in the arms of the one I love

Happiness is a field of grain
Lifting its face to the falling rain
I can see it in the sunshine, I breathe it in the rain
Happiness everywhere

Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses
I thank the Lord I've been blessed
With more than my share of happiness

A wise old man told me one time
That happiness is nothing but a frame of mind
I hope when you go to measuring my success
That you don't count my money count my happiness

Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses
I thank the Lord I've been blessed
With more than my share of happiness

Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses
I thank the Lord I've been blessed
With more than my share of happiness

Composer(s): Val Garay - Steve Goldstein - Anthony Lapeau
Performer(s): Carlos Santana



It gives me such a thrill
When you tell me bout the way
You feel
It really makes my day
I just love to hear you say

Say it again, say it high say it low
Say it again, so the whole wide
World will know
Say it, that youre still lovin me
Still lovin me, still in love with me
Say it again, tell me where, tell me when

Say it again, that our love will never end
Say it, that youre still lovin me
Still lovin me, still in love with me

You know it sounds so sweet
It just knocks me right up off of
My feet
To hear you talk that way
I just love to hear you say

Say it again, say it high say it low
Say it again, so the whole wide
World will know
Say it, that youre still lovin me
Still lovin me, still in love with me
Say it again, tell me where, tell me when

I hear the echoes in my mind
Theyre calling to me all the time
I hear those voices start to sing
Again and again

It gives me such a thrill
When you tell me bout the way
You feel
It really makes my day
I just love to hear you say

Say it again, say it high say it low
Say it again, so the whole wide
World will know
Say it, that youre still lovin me
Still lovin me, still in love with me
Say it again, tell me where, tell me when

Hanoi Hannah


Hanoi Hannah
Composer(s): Jacques Levy; Roger McGuinn
Performer(s): Roger McGuinn



Hanoi Hannah averaged bout a man a day
and when she wasn´t working
she kept the coffee perking
for the guy who didn´t have to pay
On Hanoi Hanna workin´ all my blues away

My home is in Kentucky but lovin´ makes me want to stay
The captain says I´m lucky
but the chaplan says I ought to pray
And Hanoi Hanna workin´ all my blues away

Well I never would have thought
I´d get so lost out here
Smokin´ marijuana and drinkin´ beer
and trying not to think about the time next year
when me and all my buddies gonna disappear
Hanoi Hanna workin´ all my blues away

Hanoi Hannah took her shoes and ran away
When I hold her I was headin´
to have myself a weddin´
to my baby in the U.S.A.
Good-bye Hannah I really don´t know what to say

Well good-bye Hannah
Well good-bye Hannah
Well good-bye Hannah

South Coast


South Coast
Composer(s): Lillian Bos Ross - Sam Eskin - Rich Dehr - Frank Miller
Performer(s): The Kingston Trio
and multiple other artists



South Coast, the wild coast, is lonely
You may win at a game at Jolon
But the lion still rules the barranca
and a man there is always alone

My name is Juan Hano de Castro
My father was a Spanish grandee
But I won my wife in a card game
to Hell with the Lords oversee

I picked up the ace
I had won her!
My heart, which was down at my feet
Jumped up to my throat in a hurry
Like a warm summer's day, she was sweet

South Coast, the wild coast, is lonely
You may win at a game at Jolon
But the lion still rules the barranca
and a man there is always alone

Her arms had to tighten around me
as we rode up the hills from the south
Not a word did I hear from her that day
or a kiss from her pretty red mouth

We came to my cabin at twilight
The stars twinkled out on the coast
She soon loved the valley, the orchard
but I knew that she loved me the most

South Coast, the wild coast, is lonely
You may win at a game at Jolon
But the lion still rules the barranca
and a man there is always alone

Then I got hurt in a landslide
with crushed hip and twice-broken bone
She saddled our pony like lightning
rode off in the night, all alone

The lion screamed in the barranca
the pony fell back on the slide
My young wife lay dead in the moonlight
My heart died that night with my bride

South Coast, the wild coast, is lonely
You may win at a game at Jolon
But the lion still rules the barranca
and a man there is always alone

Hannibal Mo-(Zouree)!


Hannibal Mo-(Zouree)!
Composer(s): Robert B. Sherman; Richard M. Sherman



Load up the vittles, pickles, and hams
Melons, and cherry pie
Fritters and dumplin's
Turkeys and yams
Pack in a big supply
Apples and peaches
Soda to sip
Cider is gonna flow
With a hey and a ho
And away we go
On a holiday in Hannibal, Mo…(zouree)!

Latch up the windows
Lock up the doors
Gotta get on the go
Line up the buggies
Wagons, and rigs
Meet all the folks you know
You bring the fiddle
You bring the drum
You bring the old banjo
And a hey and a ho
And away we'll go
On a holiday in Hannibal, Mo…(zouree)!

Lady:
Who brung the watermelons?

Man:
I done

Lady:
Put them in the buggy
By the box of red plums
Who brung the lemonade?

Lady: Ask her

Man:
It's here in the wagon
With the buttermilk churn
Where's Mary?

Man:
With Nellie

Boys:
Standin' guard on the jams and jelly

Boy:
Where's all the fireworks?

Boy:
Don't know

Kids:
But you're gonna see `em
All the way from here to St. Jo

All:
Better get ready
The time is right
We'll be gone all day
And half of the night
The road is rugged,
So hold on tight
No time for lollygaggin'
Everybody on the wagon

Driver:
Giddap!

All:
Get up the horses
Give `em the reigns
They know the way to go
Down by the river
Over the ridge
Into the old meadow

Oh, what a feelin'
Oh, what a day
Bright as a daisy glow
With a hey and a ho
And away we go
On a holiday in Hannibal, Mo…(zouree)!

Oh, what a feelin'
Oh, what a day
Bright as a daisy glow
With a hey and a ho
And away we go
On a holiday in Hannibal, Mo…(zouree)!

Oh, what a feelin'
Oh, what a day
Bright as a daisy glow
With a hey and a ho
And away we go
On a holiday in Hannibal, Missouri

No Quiero Escuchar


No Quiero Escuchar
First performance by: Lydia - 1999



Hace tiempo que ocultas la verdad
Te traiciona tu tenue ingenuidad al hablar
¿A quién tratas de engañar?

Vi dos sombras saliendo de un portal
Seguí los pasos cómplice de la oscuridad
Dura realidad, oh yeah
Sentí morir al verla abrazándote

No, no quiero escuchar
Tu voz susurrar que me has querido
Sé cual es la verdad
Qui se confiar y me has mentido

Ahora dices que fue una confusión
Sólo celos, fruto de me imaginación
Partiste mi vida en dos
Oh yeah, sentí morir al verla abrazándote

No, no quiero escuchar
Tu voz susurrar que me has querido
Sé cual es la verdad
Qui se confiar y me has mentido

(No), no
(No quiero escuchar), no quiero escuchar
(Tu voz susurrar), susurrar
(Que me has querido)
Sé cual es la verdad
Qui se confiar y me has mentido

No quiero escuchar

South City Midnight Lady


South City Midnight Lady
Composer(s): Patrick Simmons
Performer(s): The Doobie Brothers



Up all night I could not sleep
The whiskey that I drank was cheap
With shakin' hands I went and I lit up my last cigarette
Well the sun came, night had fled
And sleepy eyed I reached my bed
I saw you sleepy dreamin' there all covered and warm

South City midnight lady
I'm much obliged indeed
You sure have saved this man whose soul was in need
I thought there was no reason
For all these things I do
But the smile that sent out returned with you

When day has left the night behind
And shadows roll across my mind
I sometimes find myself alone out walkin' the street
Yes, and when I'm feelin' down and blue
Then all I do is think of you
And all my foolish problems seem to fade away

South City midnight lady
I'm much obliged indeed
You sure have saved this man whose soul was in need
I thought there was no reason
For all these things I do
But the smile that sent out returned with you

Hank Williams, You Wrote My Life


Hank Williams, You Wrote My Life
Composer(s): Paul Craft
Performer(s): Moe Bandy; Paul Craft



Refrain:
You wrote Your Cheatin' Heart about
A gal like my first ex-wife
You Moan The Blues for me and for you
Hank Williams, You Wrote My Life

The Cold, Cold Heart and a doubtful mind
I have known a few myself
And the gal that loved me Half As Much
As she loved somebody else

Refrain:

I've heard that blue old whipporwill, too
And the Lonesome Whistle whine
I know that feel; so cold, so real
When The Blues Come Around at midnight

We've never met, I know and yet
I know you well, My Friend
And if ever I, get to heaven on high
I hope you'll shake my hand

Refrain:

Like The Wind


Like The Wind
Composer(s): Ilia Beyers - Emma Philippa Hjälmås - Wim Claes - John Terra
First performance by: Vanessa Chinitor - 1999



The wind has blown for eternity
Never looking back, never giving in – never
Causing the waves on the stormy sea
But never staying long, always running on – always

Running on endlessly, and I know that I have to be
Like the wind, be like the wind
Like the wind: run forever free

The mountains, full of serenity
Uncaring 'bout the wind, never giving in – never
But waves that roll on the stormy sea
Turn mountains into dust, the wind, it wins at last – always

Running on endlessly, and I know that I have to be
Like the wind, be like the wind
Like the wind: run forever free

Running on endlessly, and I know that I have to be
Like the wind (The wind has blown for eternity)
Be like the wind (The wind has blown for eternity)
Like the wind (The wind has blown for eternity)
Run forever free

Hank And Lefty Raised My Country Soul


Hank And Lefty Raised My Country Soul
Composer(s): Dallas Frazier; A.L. Owens
Performer(s): Stoney Edwards; Moe Bandy



Daddy had a 1941 Ford and I was just 'bout ten years old
We used listen to Hank and Lefty on the radio
"Why Don't You Love Me Like You Used To Do"
And "Just Look What Thoughts Can Do"
Ol' Hank and Lefty raised my country soul

I learned how to sing and shuffle my shoes
Listenin' to Hank sing the "Lovesick Blues"
We never met ol' Hank, but we was awful close
Cut my teeth on "Always Late" and "I Love You A Thousand Ways"
Ol' Hank and Lefty raised my country soul

Daddy said the hair on his neck would crawl
When Hank sang about the light he saw
Ol' Hank sure put a lot of heart in the songs he wrote
Everytime daddy got a little bit tired
"Mom And Dad's Waltz" would make him cry
Ol' Hank and Lefty raised my country soul

I learned how to sing and shuffle my shoes
Listenin' to Hank sing "Lovesick Blues"
We never met ol' Hank but we was awful close
I cut my teeth on "Always Late" and "I Love You A Thousand Ways"
Ol' Hank and Lefty raised my country soul

Hanging Upside Down


Hanging Upside Down
Composer(s): David Byrne; Angel Fernandez
Performer(s): David Byrne



Window shoppin'
Finger poppin'
Hangin' in our fav'rite shopping mall
Looky looky
A little cutie
A little kitten she deserves a home

Tell you dudes when I get old enough
You bet that I am gonna try some stuff

Twisted sister
Don't 'cha miss her
There's a hundred more where she came from
Wiggle wiggle
Jiggle jiggle
Jesus, how the babes are almost grown!

And I don't need to watch the news at night
Anyone can see we're out of time

Hangin' on
Hangin' out
Got my hundred dollar shoes
Hangin' round
Hangin' free
And we got nothin' else to do
What goes up
Must come down
Oh, she took an overdose
Hangin' out
Hangin' free
Till our mama takes us home

Shimmy shimmy
Gimmie gimmie
We don't need you and we don't need love
I gotta have it
I'm gonna grab it
It ain't stealing, hey, it's only fun

When you live inside the pleasure dome
You don't ever wanna go back home

Hangin' on
Hangin' out
Some are hangin' upside down
A perfect world
A perfect girl
Oh -- another year rolls by
I'm the king
And you're my queen
When those zombies all awake
A broken heart
A broken home
Ain't no tears upon your face

Hangin' on
Hangin' out
There's place for me and you
Hangin' round
Hangin' free
We got nothin' else to do
Turn it up
Fade it down
Yeah, that song it saved my life
Perfect teeth
A perfect smile
Oh, she was a friend of mine
Let's go out
To the place
Where the hands of time are slowed
No one walks
No one dies
No more hassles anymore

Alltid Sommer


Alltid Sommer
First performance by: Lars Frederiksen - 1998



Dine øyne leser jeg som en åpen bok
Ved å leve sammen leser vi ord på ord
(Det å være nær)

Handler om mer enn bare to kan ser
(For vi har mer)
Det vi har, er så mye mer

“Alltid evig sommer”, sa du
Og du kom, og du så, og du vant mitt liv
“Alltid evig sommer”, sa du
Hva de andre gjør nå betyr ingenting
“Evig varme dager,” sa du
Og rakte hendene ut og sa - det føles ganske bra
Oh... “alltid sommer,” sa du

Bare jeg kunne si med ord hva du er for meg
Vi lever, leker sammen, mens vi går samme vei
(Det å elske deg)

År for år, og dag for dag
(Sammen med deg)
En glede som vokser med hvert hjerteslag

“Alltid evig sommer”, sa du
Og du kom, og du så, og du vant mitt liv
“Alltid evig sommer”, sa du
Hva de andre gjør nå betyr ingenting
“Evig varme dager,” sa du
Og rakte hendene ut og sa - det føles ganske bra
Oh... “alltid sommer,” sa du

Min ensomhet forsvant
Og kjærligheten vant
Så kom og la oss leve
Du sa: 'Alltid evig sommer'

(“Alltid evig sommer”, sa du)
Og du kom, og du så, og du vant mitt liv
“Alltid evig sommer”, sa du
Hva de andre gjør nå betyr ingenting
“Evig varme dager,” sa du
Og rakte hendene ut og sa, det føles ganske bra
Oh... “alltid sommer,” sa du
Oh... “alltid sommer,” sa du

Hanging On The Telephone


Hanging On The Telephone
Composer(s): Jack Lee
Performer(s): Blondie



I'm in the phone booth, it's the one across the hall
If you don't answer, I'll just ring it off the wall
I know he's there, but I just had to call
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
I heard your mother now she's going out the door
Did she go to work or just go to the store
All those things she said, I told you to ignore
Oh why can't we talk again
Oh why can't we talk again
Oh why can't we talk again
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone

It's good to hear your voice, you know it's been so long
If I don't get your call then everything goes wrong
I want to tell you something you've known all along
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone

I had to interrupt and stop this conversation
Your voice across the line gives me a strange sensation
I'd like to talk when I can show you my affection
Oh I can't control myself
Oh I can't control myself
Oh I can't control myself
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone

Hang up and run to me
Whoah, hang up and run to me
Whoah, hang up and run to me
Whoah, hang up and run to me
Whoah oh oh oh run to me

Hanging Gardens
Performer(s): Nico



A hazy horizon is closing
The curtain to our perfect stage
How I stumbled twisted slightly
Atrociously
The world is landing at my feet

Who all of the faces could it be
Where all of the places should it be
Laughing and coughing
Coughing and laughing
In the hanging gardens
Of Semiramis

A hazy horizon is closing
The curtain to our perfect stage
I stumbled twisted slightly
Atrociously
The world is landing at my feet

Who all of the faces could it be
Where all of the places should it be
Laughing and coughing
Coughing and laughing
In the hanging gardens

Hangin' Five


Hangin' Five
Composer(s): Ben Acton
Performer(s): Delltones



Well it's early in the morning and it's time to make a start
And I put my poly surfboard on the rack upon my car
I head down to the surfside, where the waves fine
I'm gonna catch a mountain but I won't go down the mine

You gotta walk the plank, ride the hook
Gonna let them ride and keep it nice and tight
Now the time is growing near your movin' down the wall
Asteady as she goes you got your toes upon the nose
And now you hang five, hang five
Hangin' five toes upon the mallibo

And now you've hit the beach and your feeling might fine
You turn your board around for the second time
You make it out the back the swells are coming fast
The first ones are too small, and so you take the last

You gotta walk the plank ride the hook
Gonna let them ride, and keep it nice and tight
Now the time is growing near your movin down the wall
Asteady as she goes you got your toes upon the nose
And now you hang five, hang five
Hangin' five toes upon the mallibo
Let's stomp

And when the day is over and all the surfers meet
You go down to the surf club to dance and stomp the beat
and when the night is through you hear the fellas say
Don't forget tomorrow you got another day

You gotta walk the plank ride the hook
Gonna let them ride and keep it nice and tight
Now the time is growing near your movin down the wall
Asteady as she goes you got your toes upon the nose
And now you hang five, hang five
Hangin' five toes upon the mallibo
Upon the mallibo
Hang Five
Hang Five
You know you gotta walk the plank Frank
Get your toes right upon that nose there
Hang Five
Hang Five
Hang Five
Hang Five
