Stay Forever (Hal Ketchum)


Stay Forever
Composer(s): Hal Ketchum - Benmont Tench
Performer(s): Hal Ketchum



Maybe I pray too much, maybe I'm wastin God's time
Livin without your touch, is driving me out of my mind
If you could only see, how much you matter to me
Maybe you would stay forever

Maybe I care too much, maybe I'll push you away
Maybe I'd have my doubts, if I were in your place
And if you could see inside, this achin heart of mine
Maybe you would stay forever

You don't have to go on living
With your back against the wall
Let my lovin arms surround you
I won't let you fall

And if you would trust in me, and this love of mine
We'll sail an endless sea, under a starry sky
And when the cold wind blows, we'll hold each other close
Maybe you will stay forever

And when the cold wind blows, we'll hold each other close
Baby you will stay forever

He's Got No Love


He's Got No Love
Composer(s): Chris Curtis; Mike Pender
Performer(s): The Searchers



Sometimes a man might wanna cry
Sometimes a man might wanna die
He wonders why he's standin' all alone
It's 'cause he's got no love to call his own

Sometimes a man feels oh so sad
Sometimes a man is hurt so bad
He wonders why he's feelin' sad and cries
It's 'cause he's got no love to dry his eyes

He'd give the world to know someone who'd care for him
He hopes someday someone will share their love with him

Sometimes a man might wanna cry
Sometimes a man might wanna die
He wonders why he's feelin' sad inside
It's 'cause he's got no love to stand beside

He'd give the world to know someone who'd care for him
He hopes someday someone will share their love with him

Sometimes a man feels oh so sad
Sometimes a man is hurt so bad
He wonders why he's feelin' sad inside
It's 'cause he's got no love to stand beside

He's got no love, he's got no love, he's got no love

Stairway To The Sea


Stairway To The Sea
(French & Italian Versions: Le Petit Chemin De Pierres; Scalinatèlla)
Composer(s): Enzo Bonagura - Giuseppe Cioffi - Albert Beach
Performer(s): Johnny Mathis



Deep in the night I climb the stairway to the sea
And pretend you are there beside me, so close beside me, watching the sea
I see us there upon the stairway to the sea
Where the mist softly kissed two lovers, hiding from others our love by the sea

Why try to find a new love when your voice keeps calling me?
I'm just a lonely pris'ner of the stairway to the sea
And there you'll find me waiting for the day of your return
But till that day how memories can burn

This is my prayer upon the stairway to the sea
That you soon will be there before me, whisp'ring "Adore me" there by the sea

And there you'll find me waiting for the day of your return
But till that day how memories can burn

This is my prayer upon the stairway to the sea
That you soon will be there before me, whisp'ring "Adore me" there by the sea

There by the sea
There by the sea!

He's A Tramp


He's A Tramp
Composer(s): Sonny Burke; Peggy Lee
Performer(s): Peggy Lee;
and various other artists



He's a tramp, but I love him
Breaks a new heart ev'ry day
He's a tramp, they adore him
And I only hope he'll stay that way

He's a tramp, he's a scoundrel
He's a rounder, he's a cad
He's a tramp, but I love him
Yes, and even I have got it pretty bad

You can never tell when he'll show up
He gives you plenty of trouble
I guess he's just a no 'count pup
But I wish that he were double

He's a tramp, he's a rover
And there's nothing more to say
If he's a tramp, he's a good one
And I wish that I could travel his way
Yeah, I wish that I could travel his way
Wish that I could travel his way

Foi Magia


Foi Magia
First performance by: Sofia Vitória - 2004



Eu não sei como foi
Não sei o que me deu
Mas de repente lá estava eu

Foi magia, foi magia

E lá estavas tu
A sorrir para mim
Eu nunca vi nada assim

Foi magia, foi magia

Foi magia
Quando eu te toquei e o beijo que te dei
Foi magia, naquele dia
Foi magia, naquele dia

Não sei o que me deu
Mas o que me aconteceu
Foi algo divinal

Foi magia, foi magia

Eu não sei como foi
Que me deu para tal
Eu nunca fiz nada igual

Foi magia, foi magia

Foi magia
Quando eu te toquei e o beijo que te dei
Foi magia, naquele dia
Foi magia, naquele dia

He's A Runner


He's A Runner
Composer(s): Laura Nyro
Performer(s): Blood, Sweat & Tears;
and various other artists



He's a runner and he'll run away
Soon there'll be no man
Woman ain't been born who can make him stay
Woman get away while you can
He's a runner

He's a runner and he'll run away with the midnight train
Woman ain't been born who can make him stay
Come the judgement day, come the rain, he's a runner

There'll come the running, he knows he's got to
Don't ask him not to or why
Oh why, oh why did you leave me and run off with tomorrow?
Now I'm in chains till I die

He's a runner and he'll run away
Soon there'll be no man
Woman ain't been born who can make him stay
Woman get away while you can
He's a runner
He's a runner and he's got to run, he's got to run away
He's a runner

Stairway To Heaven (Rolf Harris)


Stairway To Heaven
Composer(s): Robert Plant - Jimmy Page - Rolf Harris
Performer(s): Rolf Harris



There's an old Australian stockman, er, rock band
Trying, but dying
They get themselves up onto their collective elbows
Revert to their sixties instrumentation
And they try again

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
All together now, and she's buying a stairway to heaven
When she gets there she knows, if those stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for
All together now, with a word she can get what she came for

Ooh and it makes me wonder
(How does it affect you blokes?) Ooh and it makes us wonder
(That's interesting that, yeah)

There's a sign on the wall, but she wants to be sure
'Cos you know words sometimes have two meanings
All together now, 'cos you know words sometimes have two meanings

(A lot of words have two meanings
Um, like in this song the word to buy
Buying a stairway to heaven, bought
(pause) oh no, that's brought isn't it
Well, er, there's lots of words have two meanings)

In the tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven
All together now, sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven

(Miss Given? Just change instruments now
Thank you very much
Miss Given ladies and gentlemen
Isn't it nice to have your name mentioned in the song?
Isn't that good
Lovely lady)

Good one

Can I change instruments again?
Thank you

There's a lady I'm sure that I've mentioned before (yes I did, yes)
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
All together now, and she's buying a stairway to heaven

Ooh and it makes me wonder
Ooh and it makes us wonder
Ooh and it makes us wonder
It makes us wonder

He's A Rebel


He's A Rebel
Composer(s): Gene Pitney
Performer(s): The Crystals



See the way he walks down the street
Watch the way he shuffles his feet
How he holds his head up high
When he goes walking by-y-y-y-y-y
He's my guy
When he holds my hand I'm so proud
'Cos he's not just one of the crowd
I bet he's always the one
To try the things I've never done
and just because of that they will say -- Hey!

He's a rebel and he'll never ever be - any good
He's a rebel 'cos he never ever does - what he should
And just because he doesn't do what - everybody else does
That's no reason why I can't give him all my love

He is always good to me - always treats me tenderly
He's not a rebel, no-no-no
He's not a rebel, no-no-no - to me-e-e-e

If they don't like him that way
They won't like me after today
I'll be standing right by his side - when they say

He's a rebel and he'll never ever be - any good
He's a rebel 'cos he never ever does - what he should
and just because he doesn't do what - everybody else does
That's no reason why - we can't share a love

He is always good to me - always treats me tenderly
He's not a rebel, no-no-no
He's not a rebel, no-no-no - to me-e-e-e
(he's not a rebel - no-no-no)
No-no-no
(he's not a rebel - no-no-no)
(he's not a rebel - no-no-no)
No-no-no
(he's not a rebel - no-no-no)

Climb up way up high
Climb up way up high
Climb up way up high

Well-a well-a well-a heavenly angel I want you for my girl
When I kissed your sweet, sweet lips
I knew that you were out of this world

I'll build a stairway to heaven
I'll climb to the highest star
I'll build a stairway to heaven
'Cause heaven is where you are

Well-a well-a well-a over the rainbow
That's where I'm gonna climb
Way up high where the bluebirds fly
I'm gonna love you all the time

I'll build a stairway to heaven
I'll climb to the highest star
I'll build a stairway to heaven
'Cause heaven is where you are

I'll build a stairway to heaven
I'll climb to the highest star
I'll build a stairway to heaven
'Cause heaven is where you are

Well-a well-a well-a I gotta be going
Gonna leave the world behind
Every day in a heavenly way
You're gonna drive me outta my mind

I'll build a stairway to heaven
I'll climb to the highest star
I'll build a stairway to heaven
'Cause heaven is where you are

I'll build a stairway to heaven
'Cause heaven is where you are
Climb up way up high

Herring Croon


Herring Croon
Composer(s): Gordon Bok
Performer(s): Gordon Bok



Where do you go, little herring?
What do you see, tail-and-fin?
"Blue and green, cold and dark
Seaweed growing high
Hills a hundred fathom deep
Where the dead men lie
Dogfish eyes and mackerels' eyes
And they hunger after me
Net or weir, I don't care
Catch me if you can"

Where do you go, little boat?
(Tar and timber, plank and sail)
"I go to green bays
Lift them under me
Cold grey combing seas
Come to bury me
Rocky jaws and stony claws
And they hunger after me
Harbors cold and deep and bold
Wish that I could see"

What do you see, fisherman?
(Poor old sailor, blood and bone)
"Mackerel skies, mares' tales
Reef and furl and steer
Poor haul and hungry days
Rotten line and gear
Snow wind and winter gales
And they hunger after me
Net or weir, I don't care
Catch you if I can

Where do you go, little herring?
What do you see, tail-and-fin?
"Blue and green, cold and dark
Seaweed growing high
Hills a hundred fathom deep
Where the dead men lie
Dogfish eyes and mackerels' eyes
And they hunger after me
Net or weir, I don't care
Catch me if you can"

Stairway To Heaven (Led Zeppelin)


Stairway To Heaven
Composer(s): Robert Plant - Jimmy Page
First release by: Led Zeppelin - 1971
Covered by multiple other artists



There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
And when she gets there she knows if the stores are closed
With a word she can get what she came for

Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
And you know sometimes words have two meanings
In the tree by the brook there's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven

Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

There's a feeling I get when I look to the west
And my spirit is crying for leaving
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who stand looking

Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

And it's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
And the forest will echo with laughter

And it makes me wonder
If there's a bustle in your hedgerow
Don't be alarmed now
It's just a spring clean for the May Queen

Yes there are two paths you can go by
but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on

Your head is humming and it won't go because you don't know
The piper's calling you to join him
Dear lady can't you hear the wind blow and did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our souls
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll
Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
And when she gets there she knows if the stores are closed
With a word she can get what she came for

And she's buying a stairway to heaven, uh uh uh

Heroin


Heroin
Composer(s): Lou Reed
Performer(s): Lou Reed



I don’t know just where I’m going
But I’m goin’ to try for the kingdom if I can
’cause it makes me feel like I’m a man
When I put a spike into my vein
Then I tell you things aren’t quite the same

When I’m rushing on my run
And I feel just like jesus’ son
And I guess I just don’t know
And I guess that I just don’t know

I have made very big decision
I’m goin’ to try to nullify my life
’cause when the blood begins to flow
When it shoots up the dropper’s neck
When I’m closing in on death

You can’t help me not you guys
All you sweet girls with all your sweet talk
You can all go take a walk
And I guess I just don’t know
And I guess I just don’t know

I wish that I was born a thousand years ago
I wish that I’d sailed the darkened seas
On a great big clipper ship
Going from this land here to that
I put on a sailor’s suit and cap

Away from the big city
Where a man cannot be free
Of all the evils in this town
And of himself and those around
Oh, and I guess I just don’t know
Oh, and I guess I just don’t know

Heroin, be the death of me
Heroin, it’s my wife and it’s my life
Because a mainer to my vein
Leads to a center in my head
And then I’m better off than dead

When the smack begins to flow
Then I really don’t care anymore
About all the jim-jims in this town
And everybody putting everybody else down
And all of the politicians makin’ crazy sounds
All the dead bodies piled up in mounds, yeah

Wow, that heroin is in my blood
And the blood is in my head
Yeah, the god’s good as dead
Ooohhh, God that I’m not aware
I just don’t care
And I guess I just don’t know
And I guess I just don’t know

Notre Planète


Notre Planète
First performance by: Märyon - 2004



Prenez soin de notre planète
Il y a tant de choses à sauver
La folie des hommes, les tempêtes
L'ont abîmée

Qui se souvient de rivages vierges?
Et des paradis blancs?
Qui se souvient des océans bleus?
Des baleines et leurs chants?

Dans ce monde ou plus rien n'est sacré
Si loin de nos valeurs
Avant que le désert n'efface
Nos rêves de couleurs

Prenez soin de notre planète
Il y a tant de choses à sauver
Que la folie des hommes s'arrête
Que nos enfants puissent rêver

Les yeux tournés vers les étoiles
Leurs mains tendues vers le ciel
Que les vents emportent leurs voiles
Que nos pas guident leurs ailes

On a construit des prisons de verre
Sur des forêts de cendres
On a transformé notre univers
Sans chercher à comprendre

Sur nos plages coule de l'encre
C'est le sang de la terre
Que les hommes qui nous commandent
Entendent nos prières

Nous, on rêve d'un paradis sur terre
On rêve

Les yeux tournés vers les étoiles
Leurs mains tendues vers le ciel
Que les vents emportent leurs voiles
Que nos pas guident leurs ailes

Prenez soin de notre planète

Heroes And Villains


Heroes And Villains
Composer(s): Brian Wilson; Van Dyke Parks
Performer(s): The Beach Boys



I've been in this town so long that back in the city
I've been taken for lost and gone
And unknown for a long long time

Fell in love years ago
With an innocent girl
From the Spanish and Indian home
Home of the heroes and villains

Once at night Catillian squared the fight
And she was right in the rain of the bullets that eventually brought her down
But she's still dancing in the night
Unafraid of what a dude'll do in a town full of heroes and villains

Heroes and villains
Just see what you've done

Heroes and villains
Just see what you've done

Stand or fall I know there
Shall be peace in the valley
And it's all an affair
Of my life with the heroes and villains

My children were raised
You know they suddenly rise
They started slow long ago
Head to toe healthy weathy and wise

I've been in this town so long
So long to the city
I'm fit with the stuff
To ride in the rough
And sunny down snuff I'm alright
By the heroes and

Heroes and villains
Just see what you've done

Heroes and villains
Just see what you've done

Heroes And Ladies


Heroes And Ladies
Composer(s): Nanci Nevins
Performer(s): Sweetwater



Open a story book
Turn to the end
Almost always the hero and his lady
Live happily ever after again

Go to a movie and if you
stay to the end
almost always the hero and his lady
live happily ever after again

Chorus:
But we all can't be heroes and ladies
And the good guy can't always win
'Cuz life's not a book and love's not a movie
And we don't always stay to the end

Story books are make believe
Movies aren't real friends
Playing those parts for each other

Did we miss what might have been?

My heart says you're my dream man
I feel like your silver queen
Please don't tell me the ending
Let's just play the next scene

Chorus:

Now our movie is over
The lights are on again
Now this hero and his lady
Have faded away with the end

'Cuz we all can't be heroes and ladies
And the good guy can't always win
'Cuz life's not a book and love's not a movie...
We all can't be heroes and ladies
And the good guy can't always win
'Cuz life's not a book and love's not a movie
And we don't always stay to the end
You didn't stay to the end
To the end

What's Happened To Your Love?


What's Happened To Your Love?
Composer(s): Michalis Antonious - Linas Adomaitis - Camden-MS
First performance by: Linas & Simona - 2004



What's happened to your love?
What's happened to my love?
We've been together for so long
But now the feeling's gone

What's happened to your love?
What's happened to my love?
We've been together for so long
But now the feeling's gone
But now the feeling's gone

Could you give me one more try?
I will never make you cry
Yes, I've made mistakes before
Give your hand, let's go for more

Oh baby, you came back again
Your eyes are shining like a flame
I thought that I forgot your touch
But now I love you so much

What's happened to your love?
What's happened to my love?
We've been together for so long
But now the feeling's gone

What's happened to your love?
What's happened to my love?
We've been together for so long
But now the feeling's gone
But now the feeling's gone

I do remember your first words
Silence breaking down my heart
I wanna dream about sky blue
If I can, darling, stay with you

Let's walk, we did it for the first time
Along the wavy sea shoreline
Please smile, you always did to me, and just to me
Oh baby, tell, what do you feel?

What's happened to your love?
What's happened to my love?
We've been together for so long
But now the feeling's gone

What's happened to your love?
What's happened to my love?
We've been together for so long
But now the feeling's gone
But now the feeling's gone

Heroes


Heroes
Composer(s): David Bowie; Brian Eno
Performer(s): David Bowie



I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can beat them, just for one day
We can be Heroes, just for one day

And you, you can be mean
And I, I'll drink all the time
'Cause we're lovers, and that is a fact
Yes we're lovers, and that is that

Though nothing, will keep us together
We could steal time, just for one day
We can be Heroes, for ever and ever
What d'you say?

I, I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim
Though nothing, nothing will keep us together
We can beat them, for ever and ever
Oh we can be Heroes, just for one day

I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can be Heroes, just for one day
We can be us, just for one day

I, I can remember (I remember)
Standing, by the wall (by the wall)
And the guns, shot above our heads (over our heads)
And we kissed, as though nothing could fall (nothing could fall)
And the shame, was on the other side
Oh we can beat them, for ever and ever
Then we could be Heroes, just for one day

We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
Just for one day
We can be Heroes

We're nothing, and nothing will help us
Maybe we're lying, then you better not stay
But we could be safer, just for one day

Oh-oh-oh-ohh, oh-oh-oh-ohh

Stairs
Composer(s): Peter Barakan - Yukihiro Takahashi
Performer(s): Yellow Magic Orch.



In the shadows by the wall
The stairs go on forever
They could be steel
They could be stone
They could even be paper
Are they leading up or down?
The stairs go on forever
Crowds of people in confusion
Are they moving in or out?
Are they moving, are they still?
The stairs go on forever
People going up stairs
People going down stairs
Ascending people
Descending people

Hero (Mariah Carey)


Hero (Spanish Version: Heroe - 1993) Composer(s): Walter Afanasieff - Mariah Carey First release by: Mariah Carey - 1993 Covered by multiple other artists



There's a hero if you look inside your heart You don't have to be afraid of what you are There's an answer if you reach into your soul and the sorrow that you know will melt away And then a hero comes along with the strength to carry on and you cast your fears aside and you know you can survive So, when you feel like hope is gone look inside you and be strong and you'll finally see the truth that a hero lies in you It's a long road when you face the world alone No one reaches out a hand for you to hold You can find love if you search within yourself and the emptiness you felt will disappear And then a hero comes along with the strength to carry on and you cast your fears aside and you know you can survive So, when you feel like hope is gone look inside you and be strong and you'll finally see the truth that a hero lies in you oh, ohhh, Lord knows dreams are hard to follow But don't let anyone tear them away Hold on, there will be tomorrow In time you'll find the way And then a hero comes along with the strength to carry on and you cast your fears aside and you know you can survive So, when you feel like hope is gone look inside you and be strong and you'll finally see the truth that a hero lies in you that a hero lies in ... you mmmm that a hero lies in.....you
