Visionary Dream


Visionary Dream
Composer(s): Beqa Jafaridze - Bibi Kvachadze
First performance by: Sopho - 2007



I'll dream up tales and rhymes
In visionary dream
This precious moment of my life
Holds me excited

I will fly away
To reach the heights I've ever dreamed
Beneath the sun
No sense of time and space

And dissipation of your light
Holds me excited

Clouds containing lakes
And in the haze of morning light
I feel embraced

Sailing through my story
Sharing my history
Sailing through my story
Sharing my history

Ha... haha hahaha...

Sailing through my story
Sharing my history
Sailing through my story
Sharing my history

The precious moment of my life
Holds me excited
The meditation of my dreams
Holds me delighted

I will fly away
To reach the ambience I've dreamed
Beneath the sun

Sailing through my story
Sharing my history
Sailing through my story
Sharing my history

Hjärtats Kronprins


Hjärtats Kronprins
Composer(s): H. Meyer; F. Weyrich; Stig Anderson
Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog



Refräng:
Hjärtats kronprins, jag har sökt dig
Jag har sökt på alla sätt
Vill du föra mig i dansen
I en livslång menuett?

Du var blott en skuggestalt
Som jag sökte överallt
Och jag trodde knappast att du verklig var
När du nu framför mig står
Efter alla dessa år
Ja då hoppas jag att du kan ge mig svar

Refräng

Jag har dansat mången dans
Och har undrat var du fanns
Du som också ger och inte bara tar
Sådan man ska få min tro
För jag söker hjärtats ro
Det är skönt att komma hem för den som far

Refräng x2

Stay With Me Tonight


Stay With Me Tonight
Composer(s): Raymond Jones
Performer(s): Jeffrey Osborne



Another morning, you are on my mind
Takin' up my time through all the day
I try control, every chance I see
Always you with me, that's in my dreams
You give me fever, love I can't explain
Fire uncontained, what is this, girl?
I try to fight, but I never win
Seems I just give in to your embrace
But oh, you try so hard not to say
Oh, all the things you do to me, and girl, oh
Oh, my love can't be concealed, girl, you know the deal
Baby, stay with me tonight

At my apartment, you've come to the door
Quarter after four AM, hello
We start to kiss, ooh we start to neck
You know what comes next, and you love it, girl
But oh, what we have it feels so good
Oh, and we both knew that it would, and girl
Oh, the feeling is so right, please come hold me tight
Baby, stay with me tonight

'Cause you give me special joy
Oh, make me feel just like a schoolboy, girl
Oh, give me feelings of delight
Please turn out the light
Baby, stay with me tonight, 'cause I love you
You know I really do love you, girl
It's been my innermost fantasy
To share my love and to give my love to you through the night!

You call me crazy, maybe that is true
But what can I do? I love you, girl
You got me movin', movin' left and right
Deep within the night, come here, my dear
You give me fever, love I can't explain
Fire uncontained, what is this, girl?
I try to fight, but I never win
Seems I just give in to your embrace

But oh, oh I pray you never leave
'Cause my heart would surely grieve so, girl
Oh, and you know I would not lie, girl, you are my pride
Baby, stay with me tonight
'Cause you give me special joy
Oh, make me feel like a schoolboy, girl, oh
Oh, the feeling is so right, please come hold me tight
Baby, stay with me tonight
Need you by my side, baby, stay with me tonight

Hi'way Songs


Hi'way Songs
Composer(s): Gordon Lightfoot
Performer(s): Gordon Lightfoot



When I walk the hills so high around the town where I was born
New York seems so far away though I was there just yesterday

I have played on my guitar in coffeehouses, halls and bars
Everyone that I call friend knows they will not be forgot

Trains and planes and rented cars, singers, saints, and other stars
I suspect them everyone, they'll never change it's too much fun

Just for now I'd like to rest in the shade of a maple tree
To the blue Canadian sky
I'll say a prayer for the world out there

When I stand on my own sod it feels so good to be home, by God
The winter wind has turned my head but I always came up warm somehow

Bottles, beads, and cigarettes and lovers that I ain't found yet
Picking with a friend 'til dawn, singing all those hi'way songs

Just for now I'd like to rest in the shade of a maple tree
To the blue Canadian sky I'll say a prayer for the world out there

When I walk the hills so high around the town where I was born
New York seems so far away though I was there just yesterday

I would travel all my life if loneliness was not the price
While heading north across that line is the only time I'm flying

Yassou Maria


Yassou Maria
Composer(s): Alex Papakonstantinou - Marcus Englöf - Mack
First performance by: Sarbel - 2007



First off, she's a lady, this is a lady's world
Man, she drives 'em crazy, dancin' like a cheeky girl
All eyes on Maria, no lie, she's the bomb
Oh my, they all wanna see her
All wanna be the lucky one

Shake it up, shake it up, there you go
Oh oh... yassou Maria
Turn around, bring it down, go slow
Heads up, Lord have mercy

Shake it up, shake it up, there you go
Oh oh... yassou Maria
Ai ai ai... there she goes
Maria

Yassou Maria

Moves like Aphrodite, so high above the rest
Smooth like Cleopatra, an angel in a devil's dress
Her hips, lust in motion, her lips, red like wine
She is the heart of attention
Probably should mention – she's mine

Shake it up, shake it up, there you go
Oh oh... yassou Maria
Turn around, bring it down, go slow
Heads up, Lord have mercy

Shake it up, shake it up, there you go
Oh oh... yassou Maria
Ai ai ai... there she goes
Maria

Shake it up, shake it up, there you go
Oh oh... yassou Maria
Turn around, bring it down, go slow
Heads up, Lord have mercy

Shake it up, shake it up, there you go
Oh oh... yassou Maria
Ai ai ai... there she goes
Maria

Maria, Maria, yassou Maria
Maria, Maria

Hits Van Toen


Hits Van Toen
Composer(s): Jimmy Frey; W. Bellon
Performer(s): Jimmy Frey



Weet je nog de jaren zestig
De discotrend bestond nog niet
Iedereen zong de liedjes mee
Men danste toen nog met z'n twee
Alles leek toch zo eenvoudig
Computers waren onbekend
Men wist niets af van digitaal
Maar dit zong men in elke zaal
"Als een kus naar tranen smaakt"

Geen video of CD speler
Geen turbo of zestien klep
Op zaterdag moest je nog naar school
De Beatles waren ons idool
Meisjes droegen korte rokjes
De jongens hadden heel lang haar
Op zestien kreeg je een eerste zoen
Luister naar een hit van toen
"Zo mooi, zo blond en zo alleen"

Uitgaan met je vaders auto
Dat was een gebeurtenis
Je vertrok rond kwart voor acht
Maar zeker thuis voor middernacht
De bioscoop deed gouden zaken
Men zag z'n lievelingsfilm in kleur
Kermis was een feest voor jong en oud
Nog een lied waarvan je houdt
"Breng die rozen naar Sandra, 't is misschien niet te laat"

Het is nu al zo lang geleden
Oh wat gaat de tijd toch snel
Een ding blijft toch steeds uniek
De kracht die uitgaat van muziek
"Niemand weet hoeveel ik van je hou"
Dit waren dan de hits van toen

Hit-Parade


Hit-Parade
Composer(s): G. Aber; Tommy Brown
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday



Dans un fauteuil vous êtes là
Sans problèmes et sans tracas
Moi je dois chercher déjà
La chanson qui sera dans le hit-parade

Avec les cuivres on est bon
Faudra-t-il des violons
Elle en pose des questions
La chanson qui sera dans le hit-parade

Une chanson qui devra plaire
Au public voilà l'affaire
Qui parlerait de l'amour
Désespéré sans retour

Au courrier des auditeurs
Elle est classée quel bonheur
Par tous les programmateurs
La chanson qui sera dans le hit-parade

Je me sens très fatigué
Mon parolier sans idées
Elle n'est pas enregistrée
La chanson qui sera dans le hit-parade

Il faut trouver un gimmick
Des sons très psychédelics
Pour danser dans tous les clubs
Alors là on tient le tube

Et voilà mes musiciens
Qui n'y comprennent plus rien
La voilà dans le pétrin
La chanson qui sera dans le hit-parade

Des photos pour les journaux
Des questions pour la radio
Et vous écoutez bientôt
La chanson qui sera dans le hit-parade

Si vous l'entendez chanter
Un peu partout c'est gagné
Dans les juke-box et les clubs
Alors là je tiens le tube

Stay With Me (Frank Sinatra)


Stay With Me
Composer(s): Jerome Moross - Carolyn Leigh
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
and multiple other artists



Should my heart not be humble, should my eyes fail to see
Should my feet sometimes stumble on the way, stay with me
Like the lamb that in springtime wanders far from fold
Comes the darkness and the frost, I get lost, I grow cold
I grow cold, I grow weary, and I know I have sinned
And I go seeking shelter and I cry in the wind
And though I grope and I blunder and I kneel and I'm wrong
Though the rose buckles under where I walk, walk along
Till I find to my wonder every task least to see
Or that I can do it, pray, stay with me
Stay with me

Hitchy Koo



Oh! Every evening hear him sing
It's the cutest little thing
With the cutest little swing
Hitchy-koo, Hitchy-koo

Oh, simply meant for Kings and Queens
Don't you ask me what it means
I just love that Hitchy-koo
Hitchy-koo, Hitchy-koo

Say he does it just like no-one could
When he does it say he does it good
Oh, every evening hear him sing
It's the cutest little thing
With the cutiest little swing
Hitchy-koo, Hitchy-koo, Hitchy-koo....

Stay With Me
Composer(s): Rod Stewart - Ron Wood
First release by: Faces - 1971
Covered by multiple other artists



Woo

Get in there

In the mornin' a don't say you love me
'Cause I'll only kick you outta the door
I know your name is Rita, 'cause your perfume's smellin' sweeter
Since when I saw you down on the floor
Guitar, woo

You won't need to much persuadin'
I don't mean to sound degradin'
But with a face like that you got nothing to laugh about
A-red lips, hair and fingernails
I hear you're a mean old Jezebel
Let's go upstairs and read my tarot cards
Come on honey

Stay with me, stay with me
For tonight you better stay with me
Woo yeah
Stay with me, stay with me
For tonight you'd better stay with me
Ah wacko
Oh ho

So in the mornin', please don't say you love me
'Cause you know I'll only kick you out the door
Yeah, I'll pay your cab fare home, you can even use my best cologne
Just don't be here in the mornin' when I wake up
C'mon honey

Stay with me, stay with me
'Cause tonight you're gonna stay with me
Sit down, get up, get out
Stay with me, stay with me
'Cause tonight you're gonna stay with me
Hey, what's your name again?
Oh no

Get out
Woo

Oh, oh no

Woo

Get yourself home

Slow down there
Woo, hoo hoo
Wait a minute
Woo

Hitchin' A Ride


Hitchin' A Ride
Composer(s): Peter Callander; Mitch Murray
Performer(s): Vanity Fare



A thumb goes up, a car goes by
It's nearly 1 AM and here am I
Hitchin' a ride, hitchin' a ride
Gotta get me home before the mornin' light

I've got no fare to ride a train
I'm nearly drownin' in the pourin' rain
Hitchin' a ride, hitchin' a ride
Gotta get me home to my baby's side

Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride
Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride

Long-distance call I got today
She sounded lonely, so I'm on my way
Hitchin' a ride, hitchin' a ride
Gotta get me home to keep her satisfied

Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride
Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride

A thumb goes up, a car goes by
Won't somebody stop to help a guy
Hitchin' a ride, hitchin' a ride
I've been away too long from my baby's side

(several times):
Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride

(repeat):
Ride, ride

Love Or Leave


Love Or Leave
Composer(s): Julija Ritcik
First performance by: 4Fun - 2007



Stars in the sky
When the shadows fall, when the sunlight dies
Empty streets are filled with the pale lamplight
We are just two lonely shades walking in the night

Words lose their sense
When I feel you near, when I touch your hands
I'm trying not to think that at break of dawn
You'll be gone and I'll be lost, numb and all alone

When the morning comes, I'm all alone
Left to live another day, in joy or sadness, on my own
When the morning comes, I'm all alone
Every time at break of dawn

Weak and unwise
I betray all fears that I should disguise
Melting in your arms, I fail to realise
Why the mornings always change the colour of your eyes

When the morning comes, I'm all alone
Every time at break of dawn

Love or leave, I'm with and without you
How come I am up to this senseless game?
How could I stop thinking about you?
Love or leave, don't play with my heart again

Love or leave, I'm with and without you
How come I am up to this senseless game?
How could I stop thinking about you?
Hey... love or leave, don't play with my heart again

Hitch A Ride


Hitch A Ride
Composer(s): Tom Scholz
Performer(s): Boston; Smokin'



Day is night in New York City
Smoke, like water, runs inside
Steel idle trees to pity
Every living things that's died

Gonna hitch a ride
Head for the other side
Leave it all behind
Never change my mind
Gonna sail away
Sun lights another day
Freedom on my mind
Carry me away for the last time
Oh yeah

Life is like the coldest winter
People freeze the tears I cry
Words of hail their minds are into
I've got to crack this ice and fly

Gonna hitch a ride
Head for the other side
Leave it all behind
Never change my mind
Gonna sail away
Sun lights another day
Freedom on my mind
Carry me away for the last time
Oh yeah

Gonna hitch a ride
Head for the other side
Leave it all behind
Never change my mind
Gonna sail away
Sun lights another day
Freedom on my mind
Carry me away for the last time
Oh yeah

Stay While The Night Is Young


Stay While The Night Is Young
Composer(s): Chris Youlden
Performer(s): Savoy Brown; Thaddaeus Quince & The New Originals



Don't worry 'bout the
morning
Because the day might never
come
Don't worry 'bout the
future
Just stay while the night
is young

Don't pretend that it's your
first time
Don't pretend that it's
no fun
Don't tell me 'bout your
mother
Just stay while the night
is young

It's so easy to relax if
you try
Please don't think about the
time going by
You can tell me 'bout the
things on your mind
Just lie back and
unwind

Just experience the
moment
Instead of thinking what's
to come
Can't have the fall before
the summer
So stay while the night
is young

Unsubstantial Blues


Unsubstantial Blues
Composer(s): Magdi Rúzsa - Imre Mózsik
First performance by: Magdi Rúzsa - 2007



How many times have you fooled me and denied that
It's her who you love, and it sure isn't me?
So now that it's over, I'll try and take it sober
Leave questions unasked, remember us laughing at the broken past
God, if I could make it on without you

You're such a casual man, oh, wavin' an empty hand
I'm helpless and I'm lonely without you
Yes, you're a casual man, lendin' an empty hand
Left me breathless with nothing more to lose

I used to dream we'd take it nice and easy
Get jobs, settle down in Jameson Town
If now you could see me, you'd think twice about leaving
You said forever is the time you gonna spend around

So why did you leave me?
And why should I believe it?
You say goodbye
Oh, why, oh... why you leave me?
Said, why?

You're such a casual man, oh, wavin' an empty hand
I'm helpless and I'm lonely without you
You're such a casual man, lendin' an empty hand
Left me breathless with nothing more to lose

Casual man, lendin' an empty hand
Left me breathless with nothing more to lose
Except an evanescent unsubstantial blues

Hit The Road Jack


Hit The Road Jack
Composer(s): Percy Mayfield
Performer(s): Ray Charles



Hit the Road Jack and don't you come back
No more no more no more no more
Hit the Road Jack and don't you come back
No more
What'd you say

Old woman old woman, oh you treat me so mean
You're the meanest old woman that I ever have seen
Well I guess if you say so
I'll have to pack my things and go (that's right)

Now Baby, listen Baby, don't you treat me this-a way
'Cause I'll be back on my feet some day
Don't care if you do, 'cause it's understood
You got no money, and you just ain't no good
Well I guess if you say so
I'll have to pack my things and go (that's right)

Well ...
Uh, what you say?
I didn't understand you
You can't mean that ...
Aw now Baby
Please
What you trying to do to me!?

Hit The Ground Running


Hit The Ground Running
Composer(s): Tim Finn
Performer(s): Tim Finn



San Francisco New York City
strangely silent strangely empty
His graffiti filled the subway
But where's my brother
He could keep you up for hours
in a town of wilting flowers
I can more or less continue my life
I can give in or I can try
Hit the ground running
Hit the ground running for your life
Deadly virus so few survivors
creeps up quickly leaves you darkly
But where's my brother
when you're standing shoulder to shoulder
Fear and anger make you bolder
I can more or less continue my life
I can give in or I can try
Hit the ground running
Hit the ground running for your life
He could keep you up for hours
He could keep you up for hours
I can more or less continue my life
I can give in or I can try
Hit the ground running
Hit the ground running for your life
I can always hit the street swaying
but there's no one there to catch you when you fall
Hit the ground running
Hit the ground running for your life
I went to the river on the Lower East Side
cried and cried and cried and cried
Went to the River on the Lower East Side
I cry cry cry cry cried

Leave Me Alone (Hanna Pakarinen)


Leave Me Alone
Composer(s): Martti Vuorinen - Miikka Huttunen - Hanna Pakarinen
First performance by: Hanna Pakarinen - 2007



I have to leave, but you are still sleeping
There's nothing to say, our time has run out
You took me to bed, that's what you were seeking
But you don't even care what I am about

I wanna, I wanna wake you

Leave me alone, I wanna go home
I don't wanna see you, so leave me alone
Leave me alone, 'cause I feel like dyin'
Leave me alone, I wanna go home
The day will still come when I see you crying
'Cause you will get yours, just leave me alone

But what if I stay and wait till she comes home?
She don't even know she loves you in vain
The lies that you told will turn into sorrow
I gotta go crazy just to stay sane

I wanna, I wanna break you

Leave me alone, I wanna go home
I don't wanna see you, so leave me alone
Leave me alone, 'cause I feel like dyin'
Leave me alone, I wanna go home
The day will still come when I see you crying
'Cause you will get yours, just leave me alone

I gotta, I gotta hate you

Leave me alone, I wanna go home
I don't wanna see you, so leave me alone
Leave me alone, 'cause I feel like dyin'
Leave me alone, I wanna go home
I couldn't care less if love just lies dying
And this is goodbye, just leave me alone
