Boys And Girls (Angelica Agurbash)


Boys And Girls
Composer(s): Alexandr Shkuratov
First performance by: Angelica Agurbash - 2005



Not enough time left to spend on love
It's impossible to find peace of mind, no
We are the heartbeat of the world
You and I (You and I)
Listen, children, listen to me

Boys and girls, you're the road to the future
Boys and girls, you bring meaning to our lives
Boys and girls, show our sight through nature
You are all our hopes, all our dreams

Let go indifference and fear
Look around, you will see human blindness
Too many children suffering
And why? (And why?)
Everybody, open your eyes

Boys and girls, you're the road to the future
Boys and girls, you bring meaning to our lives
Boys and girls, show our sight through nature
You are all our hopes, all our dreams, yeah

Hey, boys and girls, come on, yeah
You bring meaning to our lives
Everybody, open your eyes, let's go, yeah
You're all our hopes, all our dreams, come on

(Boys and girls) Boys and girls
(You're the road to the future) You're the road to the future
(Boys and girls) You bring meaning to our lives
Boys and girls, yeah

Boys and girls, show our sight through nature
You are all our hopes, all our dreams

Boys and girls

Hide And Seek


Hide And Seek
Composer(s): S.K. Linwood; Darryl Way
Performer(s): Curved Air



Night time come and lay and hide and seek
(I have got to find you)
Streets to search and I am here alone
(Try to doubt the unknown)
*Walk in the streets
A call your name
And no one comes
Running through the town
I call your name
I know no one here

Shadows forming where the night begins
(Just the breeze comes in)
Doors all closed and window curtains drawn
(All the people are gone)
(* Repeat)

Doors all closed and window curtains drown
(All the people are gone)
Streets deserted and I am here alone
(Try to doubt the unknown)

Starkville City Jail


Starkville City Jail
Composer(s): Johnny Cash
First recording/First release by: Johnny Cash - 1969



Well, I left my motel room, down at the Starkville Motel
The town had gone to sleep and I was feelin' fairly well
I strolled along the sidewalk 'neath the sweet magnolia trees

I was whistlin', pickin' flowers, swayin' in the southern breeze
I found myself surrounded; one policeman said: "That's him
Come along, wild flower child
Don't you know that it's two a.m."

They're bound to get you
'Cause they got a curfew
And you go to the Starkville City jail

Well, they threw me in the car and started driving into town
I said: "What the hell did I do?" He said: "Shut up and sit down"

Well, they emptied out my pockets, took my pills and guitar picks
I said: "Wait, my name is..." "Awe shut up"
Well, I sure was in a fix

The sergeant put me in a cell, then he went home for the night
I said: "Come back here, you so and so; I ain't bein' treated right"

Well, they're bound to get you, cause they got a curfew
And you go to the Starkville City Jail

I started pacin' back and forth, and now and then I'd yell
And kick my forty dollar shoes against the steel floor of my cell
I'd walk awhile and kick awhile, and all night nobody came

Then I sadly remembered that they didn't even take my name
At 8 a.m. they let me out
I said: "Gimme them things of mine!"
They gave me a sneer and a guitar pick, and a yellow dandelion

They're bound to get you, 'cause they got a curfew
And you go to the Starkville City Jail

Hidden Treasure


Hidden Treasure
Composer(s): Steve Winwood; Jim Capaldi
Performer(s): Traffic



Take a walk down by, take a walk down by the river
There's a lot that you, there's a lot that you can learn
If you've got a mind that's open, if you've got a heart that yearns

If you listen to, if you listen to the water
You will hear the sound, you will hear the sound of life
There's a million different voices, there is happiness and strife

Message in the deep, from a strange eternal sleep
That is waiting there, that is waiting there for you
Like hidden treasure

Amar


Amar
First performance by: 2B - 2005



O céu às vezes foge
Procura outro lugar
Onde o sol não cabe
E a lua não quer ficar
De mar em mar, hey!
Ver e vencer, hey
Amar, amar, sempre, sempre anyway
De mar em mar, hey!
Ver e vencer, hey
Amar, amar, always day by day
Só quem não quer amar
Olha sem ver

Happy pretty way
Happy shiny day
Happy place to stay
We can hold it together
Happy pretty way
Happy shiny day
Happy place to stay
We can hold it forever

Pretty people shining
A pretty place to stay
Brand new kind of face
I love you anyway

Fight for the love I miss
Ask me to stay

Happy pretty way
Happy shiny day
Happy place to stay
We can hold it together
Happy pretty way
Happy shiny day
Happy place to stay
We can hold it forever

Happy pretty way
Bright shiny day
Lovely place to stay
We can hold it together
Happy pretty way
Happy shiny day
Happy place to stay
We can hold it forever

De mar em mar
Ver e vencer
Amar, amar

Happy pretty way
Happy shiny day
Happy place to stay
We can hold it together
Happy pretty way
Happy shiny day
Happy place to stay
We can hold it forever

Pretty way, happy, happy shiny day
A brand new day, happy, happy place to stay
Pretty way, happy, happy shinny day
A brand new day, happy, happy place to stay

Hickory Wind


Hickory Wind
Composer(s): Gram Parsons; Bob Buchanon
Performer(s): The Byrds;
and various other artists



In South Carolina there are many tall pines
I remember the oak tree that we used to climb
But now when I'm lonesome, I always pretend
That I'm getting the feel of hickory wind

I started out younger at most everything
All the riches and pleasures, what else could life bring?
But it makes me feel better each time it begins
Callin' me home, hickory wind

It's hard to find out that trouble is real
In a far away city, with a far away feel
But it makes me feel better each time it begins
Callin' me home, hickory wind

Keeps callin' me home, hickory wind

Staring At The Embers


Staring At The Embers
Composer(s): Tim Finn
Performer(s): Tim Finn



Staring at the embers
Of my memory, trying to remember
Just what you meant to me
Now and then I'm falling
Alligators crawling
Staring at the embers

Sit right down before the fire
My bridges are all burning

A lady told me she was a liar
In love at least I'm learning

Staring at the embers of my
Memory staring at the embers
They're all that's left to me

Don't know where I'm going
There's no way of knowing
Staring at the embers

The flame has gone you put it out
Out without a word of warning
The pleasure palace goes
Up in smoke

But this fool goes on yearning
Staring at the embers
Of my memory
Fire-place surrender
Please give her back to me
Now and then I'm falling
Alligators crawling
Staring at the embers
Staring at the embers of
My memory
Trying to remember just
What you meant to me
Now and then I'm falling
Alligators crawling
Staring at the embers (repeat)

My Impossible Dream


My Impossible Dream
Composer(s): Robert D. Fisher - Bruce Smith
First performance by: Glennis Grace - 2005



I have a dream...

You 'n' me, we're driftin' far apart
Our story has been told
Can't you see, the writing's on the wall?
I've come in from the cold
And I will follow my dream

I'll fight the big wide world
I'll make it on my own
Against all odds I'm breakin' free
The gauntlet has been thrown
My colours have been shown
Now I seek my impossible dream

Now's the time
To hold my head up high
Find my identity
So I will follow my dream

I'll fight the big wide world
I'll make it on my own
Against all odds I'm breakin' free
The gauntlet has been thrown
My colours have been shown
Now I seek my impossible dream

My dream...

I'll fight the big world
I'll make it on my own again
Against all odds I'm breakin' free
The gauntlet has been thrown
My colours have been shown
Now I seek my impossible dream

Hi Jolly


Hi Jolly
Composer(s): Randy Sparks
Performer(s): The New Christy Minstrels;
and various other artists



Hi Jolly was a camel driver, long time ago
He followed Mr. Beale way out west
Didn't mind the burning sand in that God-forsaken land
But he didn't mind the pretty gals the best

Hi Jolly, hey Jolly, twenty miles a day, by golly
Twenty more before the morning light
Hi Jolly, hey, I gotta get on my way
I told my gal I'd be home Sunday night

There's pretty girls in Albuquerque, 'least that's what I've heard
There's pretty gals in Tumcumcari too
Now honey, I ain't blind, but I don't pay them any mind
'Cause I'm savin' all my lovin' just for you

Hi Jolly, hey Jolly, twenty miles a day, by golly
Twenty more before the morning light
Hi Jolly, hey, I gotta get on my way
I told my gal I'd be home Sunday night

Old timers down in Arizona tell you that it's true
That you can see Hi Jolly's ghost a-ridin' still
When the desert moon is bright, he comes ridin' into sight
Drivin' four and twenty camels over the hill

Hi Jolly, hey Jolly, twenty miles a day, by golly
Twenty more before the mornin' light
Hi Jolly, hey, I gotta get on my way
I told my gal I'd be home Sunday night

Stardust (Estrellitas)


Stardust (Estrellitas)
(Dutch Version: Weerklank - 2009)
Composer(s): Hoagy Carmichael
First release by: Hoagy Carmichael - 1927
Covered by multiple other artists



And now the purple dusk of twilight time
Steals across the meadows of my heart
High up in the sky the little stars climb
Always reminding me that we’re apart
You wander down the lane and far away
Leaving me a song that will not die
Love is now the stardust
Of yesterday
The music
Of the years
Gone by

Sometimes I wonder why I spend the lonely nights
Dreaming of a song
The melody haunts my reverie
And I am once again with you
When our love was new
And each kiss, an inspiration

But that was long ago
And now my consolation
Is in the stardust of a song

Beside a garden wall where stars are bright
You are in my arms
A nightingale sings its fairy tale
Of paradise where roses bloom

Though I dream in vain
In my heart it will remain
That stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain

Hi Ho Silver Lining


Hi Ho Silver Lining
Composer(s): Scott English; Larry Weiss
Performer(s): Jeff Beck



You're everywhere and nowhere, baby
that's where you're at
Going down the bumpy hillside in your hippie hat
Flying across the country and getting fat
Saying everything is groovy
when your tires are flat

And it's hi-ho silver lining
anywhere you go now, baby
I see your sun is shining but I will make a fuss
Though it's obvious

Flies are in your pea soup, baby
they're waving at me
Anything you want is yours now
only nothing's for free
Life's a-gonna get you someday
just wait and see
So put up your beach umbrella
while you're watching TV

And it's hi-ho silver lining
anywhere you go, well, baby
I see your sun is shining but I will make a fuss
Though it's obvious

Tout De Moi


Tout De Moi
First performance by: Lise Darly - 2005



Je donnerais ce que j'ai de plus cher
Je pourrais même faire quelques prières
J'apprendrais à devenir celle que tu voudrais que je devienne
J'irais contre les tempêtes et les vents
Je crierais haut et fort mes sentiments
Pour que nos routes se mélangent, je deviendrais ton ange

Tout de moi
Je dépose à tes pieds mes heures et mes armes
Quand tout déjà
Me rappelle que je ne suis rien sans toi
Oui, tout de moi
Je te donne tous mes rêves, mon cœur et mon âme
Quand tout déjà
Me rappelle que j'n'existe plus sans toi

Dans cette ville où tout parlaient de nous
Reste le souvenir des rendez-vous
J'accrochais des mots pleins d'espoir, en attendant le vent du soir
J'ai des nuits qui ressemblent à des années
J'ai perdu le sommeil à trop rêver
J'ai beau crier contre des murs, mais rien ne me rassure

Tout de moi
Je dépose à tes pieds mes heures et mes armes
Quand tout déjà
Me rappelle que je ne suis rien sans toi

Et si les dieux sont contre nous
Alors je serais marabout
Je chasserais les hivers froids
Comme une reine de cœur défend son roi

Tout de moi
Je dépose à tes pieds mes heures et mes armes
Quand tout déjà
Me rappelle que je ne suis rien sans toi

Starbright I have made a wish upon you
Now my heart is counting on you
Won't you grant my wish tonight

Can you spare some light to lead her
To my empty arms tonight

Little By Little
Composer(s): Bobby Ljunggren - William 'Billy' Butt
First performance by: Laura & The Lovers - 2005



Night shadows falling
I hear you calling
We're finally talking
Your words touch my soul

It's taken a long time
To get inside your mind
I know it's not easy
But baby, we're two of a kind

Ooh... little by little
I'm getting close to your heart
When we're together
Looks like we're making a start

Little by little
I see that look in your eyes
Each time you touch me
I want to reach out for you

No more confusion
It ain't no illusion
This is a fusion
Of body and mind

We're meant for each other
So baby, come on, hold me tight
We'll make it together
As we fly into the night

Ooh... little by little
I'm getting close to your heart
When we're together
Looks like we're making a start

Little by little
I see that look in your eyes
Each time you touch me
I want to reach out for you

Mmm... little by little

Little by little
I'm getting close to your heart
When we're together
Looks like we're making a start

Little by little
I see that look in your eyes
Each time you touch me
I want to reach out for you

Hi And Si Of Jaytown


Hi And Si Of Jaytown
Performer(s): Steve Porter & Byron G. Harlan



Way last summer, I think it was in May
Ol' Si Hubbard to me did say
"They say there's a circus comin' to town
Suppose you and I go see the clown"

So we sold our barley, our oats and our corn
In fact, we almost cleaned out our barn
And with that money bought us two new suits
High top hats and red top boots

And when that circus came to town
Si and I were the first ones at the ground
Si says to I, "Let's go get tight
Tear down the tents, let's start a fight"

"Not much" says I, "We'll raise no feud"
For I was afraid of the old 'hay rube'
So Si proposed some red lemonade
And some goober peas, for which I paid

'Twas a jolly good cuss who kept that store
We thought when he asked us to have some more
"Oh, I like you boys for straight
Don't stand back, for I'll stand treat"

So Si and I both pitched right in
And how we ate indeed was a sin
But when we turned to go away
We heard that goldarn sharker say

"Four dollars here, you rubes, don't wait
Get off to the sideshow or you'll be late"
So Si and I paid that cash like a darn fool cuss
And off to the sideshow we did rush

The sights we seen within that show
Was enough to turn your whiskers green
Tattooed men all covered with ink
A dog-faced boy called the missing link

Si didn't know that a parrot could talk
'Til he up and called him a country gawk
So Si got mad and flew in a rage
He knocked that goldarn bird clear out of his cage
