My Galileo


My Galileo
Composer(s): Alexandra Kirsanova - Konstantin Drapezo - Alexey Solomakha
First performance by: Alexandra & Konstantin - 2004



I'm no stay-at-home, and heady
Is my quest and venture mode
And the road is there to tread it
All-dimensional road

Round I go, desperate to reach new horizons
Circles grow, but you...

You're my pier, centre in my life
My Galileo - I rotate to you, I'm here

Wind is high and branches rattle
On the shuttered window pane
And the dust has not yet settled
I'm leavin' again

Round I go, desperate to reach new horizons
Circles grow, but you...

You're my pier, centre in my life
My Galileo - I rotate to you, I'm here
I'm here again

(Hey la la... hey la la... hey la...)
(Hey la la... hey la la... hey la...)

My Galileo
(Hey la la... hey la la... hey la...)
(Hey la la... hey la la... hey la...)

You're my pier, centre in my life
(Hey la la... hey la la... hey la...)
My Galileo - I rotate to you, I'm here
(Hey la la... hey la la... hey la...)
I'm here again

I'm here again

Here's To The Losers


Here's To The Losers
Composer(s): Robert Wells; Jack Segal
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra



Here's to those who love not too wisely
know not wisely, but too well
To the girl who sighs with envy
when she hears that wedding bell
To the guy who'd throw a party if he knew someone to call
Here's to the losers, bless them all

Here's to those who drink their dinners when that lady doesn't show
To the girl who'll wait for kisses underneath that mistletoe
To the lonely summer lovers when the leaves begin to fall
Here's to the losers, a-bless them all

Hey, Tom, Dick and Harry, come in out of the rain
Those torches you carry must be drowned in champagne

Here's the last toast of the evening, here's to those who still believe
All the losers will be winners, all the givers shall receive
Here's to trouble-free tomorrows, may your sorrows all be small
Here's to the losers, bless them all

Hey, Tom, Dick and Harry, come in out of that rain
Those torches you carry must be drowned in champagne

Here's the last toast of the evening, here's to those who still believe
All the losers will be winners, all the givers shall receive
Here's to trouble-free tomorrows, may your sorrows all be small
Here's to the losers, here's to the losers, here's to the losers
Bless them all!

Stage Fright


Stage Fright
Composer(s): J.R. Robertson
Performer(s): The Band



Now deep in the heart of a lonely kid
Who suffered so much for what he did
They gave this ploughboy his fortune and fame
Since that day he ain't been the same

See the man with the stage fright
Just standin' up there to give it all his might
And he got caught in the spotlight
But when we get to the end
He wants to start all over again

I've got fire water right on my breath
And the doctor warned me I might catch a death
Said, "You can make it in your disguise
Just never show the fear that's in your eyes"

See the man with the stage fright
Just standin' up there to give it all his might
He got caught in the spotlight
But when we get to the end
He wants to start all over again

Now if he says that he's afraid
Take him at his word
And for the price that the poor boy has paid
He gets to sing just like a bird, oh, ooh ooh ooh

Your brow is sweatin' and your mouth gets dry
Fancy people go driftin' by
The moment of truth is right at hand
Just one more nightmare you can stand

See the man with the stage fright
Just standin' up there to give it all his might
And he got caught in the spotlight
But when we get to the end
He wants to start all over again, hmm hmm

You wanna try it once again, hmm hmm
Please don't make him stop, hmm hmm
Let him take it from the top, hmm hmm
Let him start all over again

Here's To Life


Here's To Life
Composer(s): Artie Butler; Phyllis Molinary
Performer(s): Shirley Horne



No complaints and no regrets
I still believe in chasing dreams and placing bets
But I have learned that all you give is all you get, so give it all you got
I had my share, I drank my fill, and even though I’m satisfied I’m hungry still
To see what’s down another road, beyond a hill and do it all again
So here’s to life and all the joy it brings.
Here’s to life the dreamers and their dreams
Funny how the time just flies
How love can turn from warm hellos to sad goodbyes
And leave you with the memories you’ve memorized
To keep your winters warm
There’s no yes in yesterday
And who knows what tomorrow brings or takes away
As long as I’m still in the game I want to play
For laughs, for life, for love
So here’s to life and all the joy it brings
Here’s to life, the dreamers and their dreams
May all your storms be weathered
And all that’s good get better
Here’s to life, here’s to love, here’s to you
May all your storms be weathered
And all that's good get better
Here's to life, here's to love, here's to you

Jugarem A Estimar-Nos


Jugarem A Estimar-Nos
Composer(s): Jofre Bardagí
First performance by: Marta Roure - 2004



No en tinc cap dubte, cap dels dos sabem
per que estem junts aquesta nit
Tu no saps ni com em dic
i la veritat, tampoc jo se el teu nom
Potser és millor que no pensem en res
aprofitem que estem solets
Aparquem tots els problemes
i disfrutem d'aquest moment
Aquesta nit farem que sigui nostra
Aquesta nit podrem ser el que volguem
mentre esperem que surti el sol

Vull que estiguem junts
que no deixem de jugar
vull que em diguis "jo t'estimo"
tot i no ser veritat
Vull que ens abracem
que disfrutem del moment
i juguar... Jugarem a estimar-nos

I quan el sol demà et tregui del llit
jo ja no seré al teu costat
Només quedarà un record
el somni d'una nit d'estiu
D' aquella nit que vam tenir tots dos
ben lluny de tota realitat
Una nit que ara vivim
i volem que duri eternament
On no importa res, només nosaltres
Aquesta nit val tot, seré qui vulguis
mentre no aparegui el sol

Vull que estiguem junts
que no deixem de jugar
vull que em diguis "jo t'estimo"
tot i no ser veritat
Vull que ens abracem
que disfrutem del moment
i jugar... Jugarem a estimar-nos

Vull que estiguem junts
que no deixem de jugar
vull que em diguis "jo t'estimo"
tot i no ser veritat
Vull que ens abracem
que disfrutem del moment
i jugar... Jugarem a estimar-nos

No tenim cap pressa
però no perdem temps
Que quan surti el sol
la màgia es perderà
Que la nit és llarga
però l' em d'aprofitar
Seré el que tu vulguis
fins que surti el sol
Fins que surti el sol

Vull que estiguem junts
que no deixem de jugar
vull que em diguis "jo t'estimo"
tot i no ser veritat
Vull que ens abracem
que disfrutem del moment
i jugar... Jugarem a estimar-nos

Vull que estiguem junts
que no deixem de jugar
vull que em diguis "jo t'estimo"
tot i no ser veritat
Vull que ens abracem,
que disfrutem del moment
i jugar... Jugarem a estimar-nos

Fins que surti el sol

Here's That Rainy Day


Here's That Rainy Day
Composer(s): Johnny Burke; Jimmy Van Heusen
Performer(s): Ella Fitzgerald;
and various other artists



Maybe I should have saved those leftover dreams
Funny, but here's that rainy day
Here's that rainy day they told me about
And I laughed at the thought that
It could end this way

Where is that worn out wish that I threw aside
After it brought my love so near?
Funny how love becomes a cold rainy day
Funny, that rainy day is here
Funny how love becomes a cold rainy day
Funny, that rainy day is here

Staffan Var En Stalledräng


Staffan Var En Stalledräng
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Cornelis Vreeswijk



Staffan var en stalledräng
Vi tackom nu så gärna
Han vattna' sina fålar fem
Allt för den ljusa stjärna
Ingen dager synes än
Stjärnorna på himmelen de blänka

Två de voro röda
Vi tackom nu så gärna
De tjänte väl sin föda
Allt för den ljusa stjärna
Ingen dager synes än
Stjärnorna på himmelen de blänka

Två de voro vita
Vi tackom nu så gärna
De va de andra lika
Allt för den ljusa stjärna
Ingen dager synes än
Stjärnorna på himmelen de blänka

Den femte han var apelgrå
Vi tackom nu så gärna
Den rider själva Staffan på
Allt för den ljusa stjärna
Ingen dager synes än
Stjärnorna på himmelen de blänka

Innan hanen galit har
Vi tackom nu så gärna
Staffan uti stallet var
Allt för den ljusa stjärna
Ingen dager synes än
Stjärnorna på himmelen de blänka

Innan solen månd' uppgå
Vi tackom nu så gärna
Betsel och gullsadel på
Allt för den ljusa stjärna
Ingen dager synes än
Stjärnorna på himmelen de blänka

Staffan rider till källan
Vi tackom nu så gärna
Han öser upp vatten med skällan
Allt för den ljusa stjärna
Ingen dager synes än
Stjärnorna på himmelen de blänka

Here's My Heart


Here's My Heart
Composer(s): Giorgio Moroder; Pete Bellotte
Performer(s): Pat Benatar



Our two worlds met in strange surprise
I hid my love in thin disguise
I tried to leave, how could I stay?
What if my heart gave me away?
I always thought I'd be prepared
But love just caught me unaware
You said the words and I believed
I fell so hard, I fell so deep
Love can't hide, though it tries
Hearts catch fire, so has mine
Here's My Heart
So true love triumphs once again
It always makes it in the end
And if you let the heart run free
It will return faithfully
Love can't hide, though it tries
Hearts catch fire, all the time
Helpless love walks the line
Hearts catch fire, the hour is fine
Here's My Heart
Ooh, Ooh
Love can't hide, though it tries
Hearts catch fire, all the time
Helpless love walks the line
Hearts catch fire, so has mine
Here's My Heart
Here's My Heart
Here's My Heart
Here's My Heart
Ooh...
Hey, Hey, Hey

Love Me Or Leave Me


Love Me Or Leave Me
Composer(s): Gus Kahn - Walter Donaldson
First performance/First recording/First release by: Ruth Etting - 1928/1928/1929
Covered by multiple other artists



This suspense is killing me
I can't stand uncertainty
Tell me now, I got to know
Whether you want me to stay or go

Love me or leave me and let me be lonely
You won't believe me and I love you only
I'd rather be lonely than happy with somebody else

You might find the nighttime the right time for kissing
But nighttime is my time for just reminiscing
Regretting instead of forgetting with somebody else

There'll be no one unless that someone is you
I intend to be independently blue

I want your love, but I don't want to borrow
To have it today, to give back tomorrow
For my love is your love, there's no love for nobody else

Oh, love me or leave me, let me be lonely
You won't believe me and I love you only
I'd rather be lonely than happy with somebody else

You might find the nighttime the right time for kissing
But nighttime is my time for just reminiscing
Regretting instead of forgetting with somebody else

There'll be no one unless that someone is you
I intend to be independently blue, oh, so blue

I want your love, but I don't want to borrow
To have it today, to give back tomorrow
For I couldn't bear it, to share it with somebody else

Here's Love In Your Eye


Here’s Love In Your Eye
Composer(s): Ralph Rainger; Leo Robin
Performer(s): Helen Ward;
and various other artists



Oh, here’s love in your eye
And may it keep on glowing
Love in your eye just for me
You look divine
And when we dance or dine, dear
My head goes reeling
But it’s not from wine

There’s love in my heart
And may it keep on glowing
I know that I’m aiming high
But here’s a toast
To what I want the most
Here’s love, love in your eye

All By Yourself In The Moonlight


All By Yourself In The Moonlight
Composer(s): Jay Wallis
Performer(s): Whispering Jack Smith
and multiple other artists



Now, boys were made for girls, and girls were made for boys
Made to share each others cares and joys
And life without a mate, is like an empty plate
And what did Adam say before he met his fate

There ain't no sense sitting on the fence
All by yourself in the moonlight
There ain't no thrill by the watermill
All by yourself in the moonlight
There ain't no fun sitting beneath the trees
Giving yourself a hug, giving yourself a squeeze
Love's a farce, sittin' on the grass
All by yourself in the moonlight

Now, she's must have their he's, and he's must have their she's
Otherwise there'd be no family trees
Why even in the zoos, they keep them there in two's
Otherwise there'd be no kangaroo's

There ain't no sense sitting on the fence
All by yourself in the moonlight
There ain't no thrill by the watermill
All by yourself in the moonlight
There ain't no fun sitting beneath the trees
Giving yourself a hug, giving yourself a squeeze
It's insane, swinging down the lane
All by yourself in the moonlight

Now it get's your goat, riding in a boat
All by yourself in the moonlight
And it's all a fake, swimming in the lake
All by yourself in the moonlight

No it don't make sense, sitting upon the sands
Whispering to yourself, ain't the scenery grand
Ther ain't no whim, when you go to swim
All by yourself in the moonlight

Now, you can't tell lies, to the butterflies
All by yourself in the moonlight
And you'll agree, that you're poor company
All by yourself in the moonlight

When you're alone, it doesn't bring to light
Kissing yourself hello, kissing yourself goodnight
And there ain't no kick, gosh it makes you ill
All by yourself in the moonlight

There ain't no sense sitting on the fence
All by yourself in the moonlight
There ain't no thrill by the watermill
All by yourself in the moonlight
There ain't no fun sitting beneath the trees
Giving yourself a hug, giving yourself a squeeze
Love's a farce, sittin' on the grass
Rahhh
I beg your pardon gentlemen
ranton
All by yourself in the moonlight
Goodnight

Here's Looking At You


Here's Looking At You
Composer(s): Debbie Harry; Chris Stein
Performer(s): Blondie



As I sit staring into this liquid amber
Ripples move out to the edge of the glass
Is that really your reflection in there?
I just wanna jump into the warm depths
And be there with you one more time!
Oh alright
Hit it boys!
My initials sprayed across a pavement
Cut into your private winter room
Talk to me now
Step into my room we'll have a word or two
If I ever had a million dollars
If I didn't give it all to you
Would you lose interest?
Show me indifference?
Foot in another shoe?
Not very high heels
Not wearing sneakers too
A magazine ad a printed canvas
A basic mid shade blue suede shoe
Thought I'd like to have a little party
Thought I'd like to have a little do
Sure I stopped drinking
But for the moment honey here's looking at you!
I'll stop my drinking give you my promise true
Clean out the closet
Be existential and cast a vote for the president too
But for the action of the moment
Nothing does what it ought to do
Instant depression I learned my lesson
Nothing that I'd rather do
Come on over my place
Can't see him sideways
Honey here's looking at you

Ee-By-Gum


Ee, By Gum!
Composer(s): Butler - Flynn
Performer(s): Tommy Handley; Gracie Fields



The Yankee says Gee Wiz
The Scotsman says 'Ood-aye
The Welshman says Indeed You Goodness
Goodness knows just why
In Lancashire and Yorkshire
Ever since the world began
This is the expression of a strong and silent man
'Ee By Gum, 'Ee-hee By Gum
The only thing he ever says is 'Ee By Gum

He says it when he's happy
And he says it when he's glum
He means an awful lot when he says 'Ee-ee By Gum
He hears it in the cradle before he cuts a tooth
He learns it as a baby and he says it as a youth
And when he goes a courting
And his girl goes Hmm-mm-hmm-mm-mm-mmm
He looks into her eyes and whispers
'Ee-ee-ee-ee By Gum

The Frenchmen say La La
The Irish say Bedad
Os Bobbikins is what they said
When Cromwell was a lad
The Spaniard says Karumba
And the eskimo says Wow
But none of them mean half as much
As what I'm singing now

'Ee By Gum, 'Ee-hee By Gum
The only thing he ever says is 'Ee-hee-ee By Gum
He says it when he's happy
And he says it when he's glum
He means an awful lot when he says 'Ee By Gum
He hears it in the cradle before he cuts a tooth
He learns it as a baby and he says it as a youth

At the Isle of Mann or Blackpool
For a while he lose his chum
When his chum says Wheres Thou Been Lad?
He says 'Ee By Gum
Hee-ee-ee-'Ee By Gum
'Ee-hee-ee By Gum

Here's A Quarter (Call Someone Who Cares)
Composer(s): Travis Tritt
Performer(s): Travis Tritt; Craig Eastman



You say you were wrong to ever leave me alone
Now you're sorry, you're lonesome and scared
And you say you'd be happy if I you could just come back home
Well, here's a quarter, call someone who cares

Chorus:
Call someone who'll listen, or might give a damn
Maybe one of your sorted affairs
But don't you come 'round here handin' me none of your lies
Here's a quarter, call someone who cares

Girl, I thought what we had could never turn bad
So your leavin' caught me unaware
But the fact is you've run...girl, that can't be undone
So here's a quarter, call someone who cares

Chorus

Yeah, here's a quarter, call someone who cares

Stacy Brown Got Two


Stacy Brown Got Two
Composer(s): Shel Silverstein
Performer(s): Shel Silverstein; Bobby Bare



Did you hear bout Stacy brown
(No we didn't but we'd like to)
He had every chick in town
(No he didn't but he tried to)
He had looks, he had class
Do anything to get a little lass
And everyone would shout at him
when he walks his girlies past
They said everybody got one
(Everybody got one)
Everybody got one
(Everybody got one)
Stacy brown got two (Oooh)

Do you know the reason for his success
(No we don't so tell us)
They say that he was double blessed
(Not like you fellas)
They say that Stacy Brown was born
Just a little bit deformed
Still his girl friends
They all wake up smilin' every morn
Singin' everybody got one
(Everybody got one)
Everybody got one
(Everybody got one)
Stacy brown got two (Oooh)

Why they're climbin' up the wall
(Just to get to Stacy)
Young ones run and old ones crawl
(He drives us crazy)
He got two and that's a fact
But no one knows where the other one's at
On his elbow, on his knee
Or underneath his hat
Singin' everybody got one
(Everybody got one)
Everybody got one
(Everybody got one)
Stacy brown got two (Oooh)

He got two, I tell you truth it's a fact
No I ain't seen him, but no I mean it's a fact
Well that's what my old lady told me
No I don't know why she knows, how did she know
Maybe somebody told her, huh
Gossip, maybe it's gossip, how did she know
Maybe just seems like two
I wanna talk to that woman
Singin' everybody got one
(Everybody got one)
Everybody got one
(Everybody got one)
Stacy brown got two (Oooh)

For no man is an island and we need love
So, just come along with me ....

It Hurts


It Hurts
Composer(s): Thomas 'Orup' Eriksson
First performance by: Lena Philipsson - 2004



Nobody but me, could know the way I feel

I'm standing on the rooftop
And I'm crying out your name
I'm looking for an answer
And for somebody to blame
'Cause even though it's over
You linger on my mind, oh

Hurts, oh it hurts, really hurts
In the middle of the night
In the light of the day
You know that it hurts
Oh it hurts, really hurts
And I wish I could be stronger
No longer afraid
Nobody but me, could know the way I feel
Oh it hurts, oh it hurts

I'm trying to forget love
The pain I feel inside
I'm clinging to my pillow
And the tears I cannot hide
I wish it could be over
So I can start anew, oh

Hurts, oh it hurts, really hurts
In the middle of the night
In the light of the day
You know that it hurts
Oh it hurts, really hurts
And I wish I could be stronger
No longer afraid
Nobody but me, could know the way I feel
Oh it hurts, oh

Not easy to remember
And even harder to forget
Whenever I surrender (whenever I surrender)
Oh, you're always on my mind...

(Hurts, oh it hurts, really hurts)
In the middle of the night
In the light of the day
You know that it hurts
Oh it hurts, really hurts
And I wish I could be stronger
No longer afraid
Nobody but me, could know the way I feel
Oh it hurts, ooh it hurts
I wish I could be stronger
Oh, but it hurts

Here, There And Everywhere


Here, There And Everywhere
Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney
Performer(s): Matt Monro



Here, making each day of the year
Changing my life with a wave of her hand
Nobody can deny that there’s something there

There, running my hands through her hair
Both of us thinking how good it can be
Someone is speaking but she doesn’t know he’s there

I want her everywhere
And if she’s beside me, I know I need never care
But to love her is to meet her everywhere
Knowing that love is to share
Each one believing that love never dies
Watching her eyes and hoping I’m always there

To be there, and everywhere
Here, there and everywhere

St. Therese Of The Roses


St. Therese Of The Roses
Composer(s): Remus Harris - Art Strauss
Performer(s): Malcolm Vaughan; Billy Ward & The Dominoes



St. Therese of the roses
I will come to you each night
Near the altar in the chapel
I will pray by candle light
St. Therese of the roses
Won't you kindly hear my prayer
Give your blessings to my sweetheart
And the love that we both share
Won't you guide us and protect us
Through the years that lie ahead
won't you fill our hearts with sunshine
On the day that we are wed
You're the little flower of heaven
Guiding all who come to you
St. Therese of the roses
I know you'll make my prayer come true

Here You Come Again


Here You Come Again
Composer(s): Barry Mann; Cynthia Weil
Performer(s): Dolly Parton



Here you come again
Just when I'm about to make it work without you
You waltz right in the door
Just like you done before
And wrap my heart 'round your little finger
Here you come again
Just when I'm about to make it work without you
You look into my eyes
And light those dreamy eyes
And pretty soon I'm wonderin'
How I came to doubt you

All you gotta do
Is smile that smile
And there go all my defenses
Just leave it up to you
And in a little while
You're messin' up my mind
An' fillin' up my senses

Here you come again
Lookin' better than a body
Has a right to
An' shakin' me up so
That all I really know
Is here you come again
An' here I go

All you gotta do
Is smile that smile
And there go all my defenses
Just leave it up to you
And in a little while
You're messin' up my mind
An' fillin' up my senses

Here you come again
Lookin' better than a body
Has a right to
An' shakin' me up so
That all I really know
Is here you come again
An' here I go

Here I go
An' here I go
An' here I go
Here you come again
An' here I go
Here I go
An' here I go
