Stealin' (Uriah Heep)


Stealin'
Composer(s): Kenneth William David Hensley
First release by: Uriah Heep - 1973



Take me across the water 'cause I need someplace to hide
I done the rancher's daughter and I sure did hurt his pride

Well there's a hundred miles of desert lies between his hide and mine
I don't need no food no water Lord, 'cause I'm running out of time

Fightin' killin' wine and women, gonna put me to my grave
Runnin' hidin' losin' cryin' nothing left to save but my life

Stood on a ridge and shunned religion thinking the world was mine
I made my break and a big mistake stealin' when I should've been buyin'

Well fightin' killin' wine and those women gonna put me to an early grave
Runnin' hidin' losin' cryin' nothing left to save but my life

So I stood on a ridge and shunned religion thinking the world was mine
I made my break and a big mistake stealin' when I should've been buyin'

I was stealin' when I should've been buyin'

Hold Her In Your Hand


Hold Her In Your Hand
Performer(s): The Bee Gees



You got to walk a little slower when you're with her
Take the time to be tender, that's the plan
You got to stand a little taller while her world falls to pieces
Only then can you hold her in your hand

You got to live for every moment that she gives you
Make the one in a million understand
You got to stand a little taller while her world falls to pieces
Only then can you hold her in your hand

Now too many faces have come down between us
And I was the fool to be
And I can't deny you the wide open spaces
As long as she stops loving me

You got to stand a little closer when you hold her
Make her feel like a woman, understand
You got to stand a little taller while her world falls to pieces
Only then can you hold her in your hand

Stealin' (Frankie Vaughan)


Stealin'
Performer(s): Frankie Vaughan



When you're flirtin' with a gal
Who's the sweetheart of a pal
That's stealing
(My darling you know that it's stealing)
When you meet her every day
Till you win her heart away
That's stealing
(I told you before that it's stealing)
And if you think that you've been smart
Or played a noble part
Pretending you were friends when you were breaking his heart
You're as guilty of a crime as a prisoner doing time
For stealing, just stealing, that's all

Hold Back The Water


Hold Back The Water
Composer(s): Randy Bachman; Robbie Bachman; Kirk Kelly
Performer(s): Bachman-Turner Overdrive; BTO Spider



Headed 'cross the border
Looking for a place to play
I left the sun behind
I don't mind
But I think that it looked like rain

Hold back the water
I gotta find time to burn
Hold back the water
I gotta find time to burn

Headed west to Georgia
Looking for the road to L.A.
They say the weather's fine
But the sun don't shine
'Cause the smog's always in the way

Hold back the water
I gotta find time to burn
Hold back the water (Yo!)
I gotta find time to burn

I've never played no smoker
You know I've never played no hotdog
The preacher say
I was born this way
With storm cloud in my heart

Hold back the water
I gotta find time to burn
Hold back the water
I gotta find time to burn
I gotta find time to burn
I gotta find time to burn
I gotta find time to burn (Whooo)

Headed 'cross the border
Looking for a place to play
I left the sun behind
I don't mind
But I think that it looked like rain

Hold back the water
I gotta find time to burn

Hold back the water (Yo!)
I gotta find time to burn
I gotta find time to burn
I gotta find time to burn
I gotta find time to burn

Hold back the water (Hey!)
I gotta find time to burn

Anytime You Need


Anytime You Need
First performance by: Hayko - 2007



Why, baby tell me why
Does someone always say goodbye?
You should never doubt / all I'll ever do
Is watch over you

I only wanna guard
Every beat of your gentle heart
Look and you will see
You can count on me, depend on me

Anytime you need
Any place you say
Anything indeed
Anyhow, any way...

I wanna be your friend
Day by day to the very end
If you ever call crying with the blues
I'm here for you

Anytime you need
Any place you say
Anything indeed
Anyhow, any way...

I'll dry your tears when you cry
And I need no reason why

Anytime you need
Any place you say
Anything indeed
Anyhow, any way...

Anytime you need...

Hold Back The Tears


Hold Back The Tears
Composer(s): Chris Eaton
Performer(s): Janet Jackson



So sad, but there's nothin' that I can do
Things are so bad, you forget every word I've spoken to you
Love is when it touches you down inside
Why wait, are you lookin' for somewhere to hide?

You've gotta hold back the tears
Soon you will discover
maybe there could be someone who cares for you
You've gotta hold back the tears
Don't have to say never
love will come to those who are prepared
To give it back

Time will never be on your side
Listen, it could be your only chance to survive
This love is waiting to call you home
Don't wait, you'll never be on your own

You've gotta hold back the tears
Soon you will discover

The Stealer
Composer(s): Paul Rodgers - Paul Kossoff - Andy Fraser
First release by: Free - 1970
Covered by multiple other artists



I went down to the sin of the town
In my feet was a burnin' drone
She stood on the corner, luring as can be
I said, hey good looking, you're comin' with me?
She said, yeah, I'm the stealer
I'm to steal your love

The sun was shinin', huh, the world was bright
I said, tell me baby, what you're doin' tonight?
I'm goin' down the corner where the music's loud
I'm tired of the city won't you come around
I said, yeah oh yeah, I'm the stealer
I'm to steal your love

Steal your love, babe

Goin' down the corner where the music's loud
I'm tired of the city why don't you come around
I said, yeah, I'm the stealer
I'm to steal your love

I come to steal your love, steal your love
Steal your love away, hey yeah
Comin' to steal, comin' to steal your love away
Comin' to steal
I'm gonna steal, I'm gonna steal your love away
I come to steal your love
I come to steal your love, steal your love ....

Hold Back The Sun


Hold Back The Sun
French Title: Retiens La Nuit
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday



Hold back the sun
Let this night with you linger on
Hold back the sun

Hold back the dawn tomorrow you'll be gone
Under the moon this moon of love
The night we share is so rare
But in the light, the light of day
The magic might disappear

Retiens la nuit
Avec toi elle parait si belle
Retiens la nuit
Mon amour qu'elle devienne éternelle
Pour le bonheur de nos deux cœurs
Arrête le temps et les heures
Je t'en supplie à l'infini
Retiens la nuit

Hold back the sun
Let this night with you linger on
Hold back the sun

Hold back the dawn tomorrow you'll be gone
Under the moon this moon of love
The night we share is so rare
But in the light, the light of day
You won't be there

Hold Back The Night


Hold Back The Night
French Title: Retiens La Nuit
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour; Georges Garvarentz; Kaye
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



(Hold back the night
Oooh
Hold back the night)

Hold back the night
Make it last
At least until forever
Hold back the night
It is ours
We are in this love together

The morning light
Will break the spell
Of all magic that surrounds us
Here in the dark
We both can hide
In the miracle that has found us

Hold back the night
Hold me close
We’ll treasure every minute
Let’s stop the world
And we’ll love like the only people in it

How can I tear myself away
When all that we feel is so right
Because there’s no
No letting go
Hold back the night

I’m so afraid of losing you
And to my sorrow
The thought hangs over me just like a cloudy day
You’re in my arms tonight
But can I trust tomorrow
I wish tomorrow was a hundred years away

The morning light
Will break the spell
Of all the magic that surrounds us
Here in the dark
We both can hide
In a miracle that has found us

Hold back the night
Hold me close
We’ll treasure every minute
Let’s stop the world
And we’ll love like the only people in it

How can I tear myself away
When all that we feel is so right
Because there’s no
No letting go
Hold back the night

(Hold back the night
Hold back the night
Oooh)

Steal away, steal away
Steal away to Jesus!
Steal away, steal away home
I ain't got long to stay here

The trumpet sounds within my soul

Steal away, steal away home
I ain't got long to stay here

My Lord, He calls me

The trumpet sounds within my soul
I ain't got long to stay here

Hold


Hold
Composer(s): Rick Derringer; Patti Smith
Performer(s): Rick Derringer



Ocean's gonna roll without me
And river's gonna flow without me
And love it's gonna spin without me
And there'll be songs to be sung
Long after I'm gone

I walk by the stream
As the sun goes down
(Sun goes down)
Music runs through me
But I can't make sounds
I try to cry out
But I don't know why
My face is frozen
I can't even cry
Even when I try
I beg you hold
Hold on to me
Hold
Hold on to me
Don't let me drown
Don't let me sink
Oh, don't let me go

I've tried everything
Lose or win
(Lose or win)
To make sense out of time
But my head just spins
And spins, and spins
I try to escape this whirlpool I'm in
But like a snake
I shed another skin
And I plunge back in
I beg you hold
Hold on to me
Hold
Hold on to me
Don't let me drown
Don't let me sink
Oh, don't let me go
Cuz ocean's gonna roll without you
And river's gonna flow without you
And love it's gonna spin without you
And there'll be songs to be sung
Long after you're gone
And long after I'm gone
Whooo.....
I beg you hold
Hold on to me
Hold
Hold on to me
Don't let me drown
Don't let me sink
Oh, don't let me go
I beg you hold.....

Frauen Regier'n Die Welt


Frauen Regier'n Die Welt
Composer(s): Matthias Hass - Frank Ramond
First performance by: Roger Cicero - 2007



Schon in der Schule die Jungs ha'm gelacht
Doch mir hat's überhaupt nichts ausgemacht
Sie war so süß, ihre Beine so lang
Bin fast ein Jahr in ihren Ballettkurs gegangen

Als ich erfuhr, dass sie auf Umweltschutz steht
Hab ich "nein danke“ auf mein' Parka genäht
Das hat sie damals alles nicht in'tressiert
Doch seitdem weiß ich wer die Welt regiert

Wie sie gehn und stehn
Wie sie dich ansehn
Und schon öffnen sich Tasche und Herz
Und dann kaufst du 'n Ring und 'n Nerz

Ein lasziver Blick
Und schon ändert sich deine Politik
Kein Boss und kein Actionheld
Kein Staat und kein Mafiageld
Frauen regiern die Welt

Alle Register von kokett bis naiv
Sie ha'm als Baby schon den Vater im Griff
Sie geben alles wenn sie irgendwas wollen
Und du beißt auf Granit wenn sie schmollen

Du machst dich lächerlich und lässt dich verhaun
Damit die Mädels einmal nur rüberschaun
Sie pushen Beckham und stürzten Clinton
Ohne dafür 'ne Partei zu gründen

Wie sie gehn und stehn
Wie sie dich ansehn
Und schon öffnen sich Tasche und Herz
Und dann kaufst du 'n Ring und 'n Nerz

Ein lasziver Blick
Und schon ändert sich deine Politik
Kein Boss und kein Actionheld
Kein Staat und kein Mafiageld
Frauen regiern die Welt

Come on guys

How they look and smile
How they talk and while
They are making us think that we're kings
Guess who is really pulling the strings

Just a glance, one move
Turns a no into "I approve"
And while your head's in a whirl
And you're calling her your little girl
Guess who rules the world

Guess who rules the world

Der Hokus Pokus
Den man Lieben nennt
Ist so wunderbar

Nur vor dem Ersten
Baby hast du Angst
Der ist am schwersten
Baby sei dich dumm
Wir kommen nicht um ihn herraum

Der Hokus Pokus
Den man Liebe nennt
Ist ein Zauberband
Der Hokus Pokus
Der wie Feuer brennt
Kommt wenns keiner ahnt

Der Hokus Pokus
Der uns glücklich macht
Ist auf einmal da

Uns den siebten Himmel nah

Der Hokus Pokus
Den man Liebe nennt
Ist so fabelhaft

Hojas Secas


Hojas Secas
Composer(s): Miguel Bosé; Mikel Erentxun
Performer(s): Miguel Bosé



Un adios en la pared, dos palabras
Algun dia volvere, rabia amarga
No se es fiel al corazon... si con el alma

Una tarde tu y yo, cuerpo a cuerpo
abrazados, pienso en ti... es que tengo miedo
Pierdo a pulso el corazon, no te miento

He esperado en el anden de tus ojos
y mi voz se quiebra en dos, no hay retorno
Llueve triste dentro de mi, me llueve otontildeo

Y el vuelve al norte y busca su estrella
Y el sue&ntildea que la alcanza y con ella muere

Hojas secas que al pisar
me van contando mi soledad
En silencio viene ya
trae sonidos de ciudad

Bebe los vientos
vientos por ella
que ya no volvera...

Performer(s): Javier Solís;
and various other artists



Tan lejos de ti no puedo vivir
tan lejos de ti me voy a morir
Entre esta taberna tan llena de cosas
queriendo olvidar, pero ni las copas
señor tabernero me hacen olvidar

Me salgo a la calle buscando un consuelo
buscando un amor, pero es imposible
mi fe es hoja seca que mató el dolor

No quiero buscarte ni espero que lo hagas
pues ya para qué, se acabó el romance
mataste una vida, se acabó mi amor

Si acaso mis ojos llenos de tristeza pudieran llorar
pero es que en mi vida yo nunca he llorado por ningún querer
Ya que es imposible dejar de quererla
señor tabernero sírvame otra copa que quiero olvidar

...Pudieran llorar

...Por ningún querer

Ya que es imposible dejar de quererla
señor tabernero sírvame otra copa que quiero olvidar

Hoeveel Brieven?


Hoeveel Brieven?
Composer(s): Bert Candries; Johan Verminnen
Performer(s): Johan Verminnen



Hoeveel brieven moet ze schrijven
voor hen die achter tralies blijven
om hun droom, hun ideaal
Hoelang kunnen presidenten zwijgen
terwijl er folteringspraktijken
gebeuren in een donkere zaal

Hoeveel brieven moet ze schrijven
om al die mensen te bevrijden
Ze schreef misschien wel duizend maal
Wanneer zal ze antwoord krijgen
Komt er een teken? een signaal?

Hoelang moet ze blijven kijken
naar gezichten die steeds zwijgen
ze kent hun naam en hun verhaal

ze waren metselaar, bediende
ze waren ambtenaar, soldaat
ze waren timmerman of visser
ze waren dokter, advokaat
ze hadden vrouwen, hadden kinderen
ze waren vrolijk op een feest
ze maakten grappen met hun vrienden
maar zwijgen deden ze nooit, nee

Hoeveel brieven moet ze schrijven
om de onschuld te bewijzen
van hen die niets hebben misdaan

ze waren metselaar, bediende
ze waren ambtenaar, soldaat
ze waren timmerman of visser
ze waren dokter, advokaat
ze hadden vrouwen, hadden kinderen
ze waren vrolijk op een feest
ze maakten grappen met hun vrienden
maar zwijgen deden ze nooit, nee

Het waren leraars of studenten
het was een man, het was een vrouw
het waren vrienden of bekenden
ze waren jong, ze waren oud
vertelden hardop wat ze dachten
terwijl ze om de leugens lachten
van een zieke generaal
die spotte met hun ideaal

Hoeveel brieven moet ze schrijven?
