Stephanie Says


Stephanie Says
(French Version: Je Rêve Encore De Toi - 1985)
Composer(s): Lou Reed
First release by: The Velvet Underground - 1985
Covered by multiple other artists



Stephanie says that she wants to know
Why she’s given half her life, to people she hates now
Stephanie says when answering the phone
What country shall I say is calling from across the world

But she’s not afraid to die, the people all call her Alaska
Between worlds so the people ask her ’cause it’s all in her mind
It’s all in her mind

Stephanie says that she wants to know
Why it is though she’s the door she can’t be the room

Stephanie says but doesn’t hang up the phone
What sea shell she is calling from across the world

But she’s not afraid to die, the people all cal her Alaska
Between worlds so the people ask her ’cause it’s all in her mind
It’s all in her mind

She asks you is it good or bad
It’s such an icy feeling it’s so cold in Alaska
It’s so cold in Alaska, it’s so cold in Alaska

Hole In The World


Hole In The World
Composer(s): Glenn Frey; Don Henley
Performer(s): The Eagles



[Chorus:]
There's a hole in the world tonight
There's a Cloud of fear and sorrow
There's a hole in the world tonight
Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow

They say that anger is just love disappointed
They say that love is just a state of mind
but all this fighting over who will be anointed
Oh how can people be so blind

[Chorus:]
There's a hole in the world tonight
There's a Cloud of fear and sorrow
There's a hole in the world tonight
Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow

Oh they tell me there's a place over yonder
cool water running through the burning sand
until we we learn to love one
another we never reach the promise land

[Chorus:]
There's a hole in the world tonight
There's a Cloud of fear and sorrow
There's a hole in the world tonight
Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow

[Repeat chorus]

[Repeat chorus 4x]

Je Rêve Encore De Toi


Je Rêve Encore De Toi
(Adapted from: Stephanie Says - 1985)
Composer(s): Lou Reed - Mirwais - Daniel Darc
Performer(s): Taxi Girl - 1985



Un autre verre
Une autre nuit
Comment faire pour t’oublier
Pour ne pas pleurer

Ni un autre verre
Ni une autre nuit
Comment faire pour ne pas tomber
Pour ne pas crever

Tous ces mots que tu disais
Je rêve de savoir qu’ils étaient faux
Mais maintenant il est trop tard

Je rêve encore de toi
Je rêve encore de toi

Une autre ville
Une autre vie
Comment faire pour ne pas souhaiter
Tout recommencer

Une autre fille
Une dernière chance
Comment faire pour y croire encore
Juste un instant

Tous ces mots que tu disais
Je rêve de savoir qu’ils étaient faux
Mais maintenant il est trop tard

Je rêve encore de toi
Je rêve encore de toi

J’attendrais encore toute une nuit
Et si j’attends pour rien tant pis

C’est si dure d’aimer un rêve
C’est si dure d’aimer en rêve
C’est si dure d’aimer en rêve
C’est si dure d’aimer en rêve
C’est si dure d’aimer en rêve
C’est si dure d’aimer en rêve
C’est si dure d’aimer en rêve

Hole In My Shoe


Hole In My Shoe
Composer(s): Dave Mason
Performer(s): Traffic;
and various other artists



I looked in the sky where an elephant's eye
Was looking at me from a bubblegum tree
And all that I knew was the hole in my shoe
Which was letting in water (letting in water)
(letting in water)

I walked through a field that just wasn't real
With one hundred tin soldiers which stood at my shoulder
And all that I knew was the hole in my shoe
Which was letting in water (letting in water)
(letting in water)

(Narration: I climbed on the back of a giant albatross
What flew through a crack in the cloud
To a place where happiness reigned all year round
And music played ever so loudly)

I started to fall and suddenly woke
And the dew on the grass had soaked through my coat
And all that I knew was the hole in my shoe
Which was letting in water (letting in water)
(letting in water)

Disappear


Disappear
Composer(s): Remee - Hanne Sørvaag - Thomas Troelsen
First performance by: No Angels - 2008



On and on I've tried to move it along (It won't stop)
Tried to find the strength to turn it around (It won't stop)
Everything's been off since you went away
And time just broke the promise to ease the pain

'Cause I need you here
And it's just not fair
That it won't get better
Why did you disappear?

And we got nowhere
But it won't stop there
Though you're gone forever
I can't make you disappear

Crashing, breaking memories in my mind (It won't stop)
Never ever close to getting it right (It won't stop)
Best time of my life, now it's washed away
Still the stars, they know how to spell your name

'Cause I need you here
And it's just not fair
That it won't get better
Why did you disappear?

And we got nowhere
But it won't stop there
Though you're gone forever
I can't make you disappear

'Cause you got into my heart of stone
And I don't do well here on my own
Now the silence keeps me up at night
And I can't get used to being all alone

'Cause I need you here
And it's just not fair
That it won't get better
Why did you disappear?

And we got nowhere
But it won't stop there
Though you're gone forever
I can't make you disappear

Hold-Up


Hold-Up
Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg
Performer(s): Serge Gainsbourg



Je suis venu pour te voler
Cent millions de baisers
Cent millions de baisers
En petites brûlures
En petites morsures
En petites coupures

C'est un hold-up!
Un hold-up!
Un hold-up!
Un hold-up!

Si tu ne veux pas m'les donner
J's'rai forcé de t'attacher
Et ça t'f'ra aux poignets
Des petites brûlures
Des petites morsures
Des petites coupures

C'est un hold-up!
Un hold-up!
Un hold-up!
Un hold-up!

Maintenant que j'ai tes baisers
Il m'reste plus qu'à m'tailler
Et toi à oublier
Ces petites brûlures
Ces petites morsures
Ces petites coupures

C'est un hold-up!
Un hold-up!
Un hold-up!
Un hold-up!

Step Out Of Your Mind


Step Out Of Your Mind
Composer(s): Al Gorgoni - Chip Taylor
Performer(s): The American Breed



You gotta get out of your head
You gotta step out of your mind

You gotta be able to bend your brain
If you wanna get on in this world
And you've got to be just a little insane
If you wanna get on in this world

Do your living in a comic book
Be a Superman or a Captain Hook
ah-ah-ah ... yeah!
ah-ah-ah ... yeah!

You gotta get out of your head
You gotta step out of your mind

You gotta be able to blow your cool
If you wanna get on in this world
You can't be afraid to be some kind of fool
If you wanna get on in this world

Do your living in a crazy dream
Be a hero on a movie screen
ah-ah-ah ... yeah!
ah-ah-ah ... yeah!

You gotta get out of your head
You gotta step out of your mind

Jump jump, out of your head
Step step, out of your mind
Jump jump, out of your head
Step step, out of your mind
Jump jump, out of your head
Step step, out of your mind
Jump jump, out of your head
Step step, out of your mind

Holding Out For A Hero


Holding Out For A Hero
Composer(s): Dean Pitchford; Jim Steinman
Performer(s): Bonnie Tyler



Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the gods?
Where's the street-wise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and turn and dream
of what I need

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasy
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There's someone reaching back for me
Racing on the thunder end rising with the heat
It's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet

(Chorus)

Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I would swear that there's someone somewhere
Watching me

Through the wind end the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood
I can feel his approach
Like the fire in my blood

Even If


Even If
Composer(s): Andy Abraham - Andy Watkins - Paul Wilson
First performance by: Andy Abraham - 2008



You're keeping me fascinated
No, I ain't running all over town
I feel so intoxicated
I'm struggling to keep my feet on the ground

I'm not playing, girl
This ain't no game at all
And for the first time
I'm not looking for love

So come here, baby, listen to me
I just want ya to believe me

Even if the world stops lovin'
I could never stop lovin' you
Even if the sun stops risin'
I still wanna wake up with you
Yeah...

Even if my heart was breakin'
I could never break your heart too
Even if all words lost their meaning
You would understand I love you
Yes, I do

Your sensuality thrills me
It strips me to my soul
As your reality cures me
Your lovin' takes a hold
I'm barely in control

I'm not pretending, girl
That ain't what's goin' on
There's no room for lies
Ain't no room at all

So come here, baby, listen to me
I just want ya to believe me

(Even if the world stops lovin')
I could never stop lovin' you
Even if the sun stops risin'
I still wanna wake up with you

Even if my heart was breakin'
I could never break your heart too, no, no
Even if all words lost their meaning
You would understand I love you
Yes, I do

(Break it down, break it down)
(Girl, you gotta know) Yes, I do
(We got to break it down, break it down)
(It's time to feel the flow) Hey yeah...

(Break it down, break it down)
(Girl, you gotta know) Help me break it down
(We got to break it down, break it down)
(It's time to feel the flow) Ooh yeah...

(Even if the world stops lovin')
(I could never stop lovin' you) I could never stop lovin' you
(Even if the sun stops risin')
(I still wanna wake up with you) I will always wake up, baby

Even if my heart was breakin'
(I could never break your heart too) Aha, aha, aha baby, baby
Even if all words lost their meaning
You would understand I love you

Holding On To Nothing


Holding On To Nothing
Composer(s): Jerry Chestnut
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb; Loretta Lynn



We're holding on with nothin' left to hold on to
I'm so tired of holding on to nothin'
The years have shown no kindness for the hard times that we've been through
We've squeezed the life from every dream and still go right on bluffin'
With really nothing left to hold on to

Oh why do we keep holding on with nothing left to hold on to
Let's be honest with each other that's at least that we can do
I feel guilty when they envy me and you
We're holding on with nothing left to hold on to

We were young and foolishly mistaken
Victims of a passion much too strong to be denied
With only tears to show for all the years that we've been fakin'
God only knows how long how hard we've tried

Oh why do we keep holding on with nothing left to hold on to
Let's be honest with each other that's at least that we can do
I feel guilty when they envy me and you
We're holding on with nothing left to hold on to
We're holding on with nothing left to hold on to

Step Inside This House


Step Inside This House
Composer(s): Guy Clark
Performer(s): Travis Collins



That picture hangin' on the wall
Was painted by a friend
He gave it to me all down and out
When he owed me ten
Now it doesn't look like much I guess
But it's all that's left of him
And it sure is nice from right over here
When the light's a little dim

Step inside my house Babe
I'll sing for you a song
I'll tell you 'bout where I've been
It shouldn't take too long
I'll show you all the things I own
My treasures you might say
Couldn't be more'n ten dollars worth
But they brighten up my day

Here's a book of poems I got
From a girl I used to know
I guess I read it front to back
Fifty times or so
It's all about the good life
And stayin' at ease with the world
It's funny how I love that book
And I never loved that girl

Hold this piece of glass
Up to the light comin' through the door
It's a prism glass I found on the road
Can you see that little rainbow
Well it's not really a prism I guess
It just broke in a funny way
I found it on my way from Texas
Headed for L.A.

This guitar was given me
By old man Thomas Gray
It's not too much to look at
But I pick it every day
It's been across the country
Four or five times I guess
Between me and old man Tom
It never got much rest

Well that's about all I own
And all I care to I guess
Except this pair of boots
And that funny yellow vest
And that leather jacket and leather bag
And hat hangin' on the wall
Just so it's not too much to carry
Could I see you again next Fall

Holding Her And Loving You


Holding Her And Loving You
Composer(s): Walt Aldridge; Tom Brasfield
Performer(s): Earl Thomas Conley; Clay Walker



It's the third hardest thing I'll ever do
Leaving here without you
And the second hardest thing I'll ever do
Is telling her about you
She's been good to me when things were going rough
How can I tell her now that good ain't good enough
The hardest thing I'll ever have to do
Is holding her and loving you
If she'd give me one good reason I'd be gone
But she ain't done one thing wrong
So don't expect me just to walk out of the door
I still love her but I love you more
She's been good to me when things weren't going right
She made my days long before you made my nights

The hardest thing I'll ever have to do
Is holding her and loving you
Girl, the hardest thing I'll ever have to do
Is holding her and loving you

(Vampires are alive)
(The legends have to survive)
(We'll never come undone)

Vampires, get a life

I am a vampire, I'm a slave
A slave to the daylight, hence my grave
In the darkness, in the shadows – here I am

I want you to be forever mine
Together until the end of time
Like a nightmare, never ending
Let me change your world

(And we will be forever young)

Vampires are alive
(And we will be forever young)
Vampires, vampires are alive
(And we will be forever young)

Tonight is the night, live a thousand years
Don't be scared, don't drown in tears
Free your spirit after midnight, sell your soul
(Let it go)

From heaven to hell, enjoy the ride
You're here to surrender with your life
Precious victims, my desire, live eternally

(Vampires are alive)
(The legends have to survive)
(We'll never come undone)
(And we will be forever young)

Vampires are alive
(And we will be forever young)
Vampires, vampires are alive
(And we will be forever young)

(Vampires) are alive
Vampires are alive
(Vampires)

Holding Back The Years


Holding Back The Years
Composer(s): Mick Hucknall
Performer(s): Simply Red



Holding back the years
Thinking of the fear I've had so long
When somebody hears
Listen to the fear that's gone
Strangled by the wishes of pater
Hoping for the arms of mater
Get to me the sooner or later

Holding back the years
Chance for me to escape from all I've known
Holding back the tears
'Cause nothing here has grown
I've wasted all my tears
Wasted all those years
And nothing had the chance to be good
Nothing ever could yeah

I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
So tight

(Alright, oh now)

Well I've wasted all my tears
Wasted all of those years
And nothing had the chance to be good
'Cause nothing ever could oh yeah

I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
Holding, holding, holding

That's all I have today
It's all I have to say

Hold your hand out, naughty boy
Hold your hand out, naughty boy

Hold your hand out, naughty boy

Dança Comigo (Vem Ser Feliz)
First performance by: Sabrina - 2007



Vem dançar comigo pelas ondas da aventura
Que eu prometo dar-te oceanos de ternura
Disse-me o vento que serás sempre o meu par
Até o céu conspira que és tu quem quero amar

Dança comigo, que eu dou-te o céu que há em mim
Dança comigo, que aos teus desejos direi sim
Dança comigo, que nos teus braços vou sonhar
Dança comigo, que eu dou-te a lua, o sol e o mar

Dança esta canção porque tem tudo de ti
Tem ritmo e alegria, que é o que tu me dás a mim
Há na melodia uma luz, uma razão
Há na harmonia uma força que é paixão

Dança comigo, que eu dou-te o céu que há em mim
Dança comigo, que aos teus desejos direi sim
Dança comigo, que nos teus braços vou sonhar
Dança comigo, que eu dou-te a lua, o sol e o mar

Dança comigo, que eu dou-te o céu que há em mim
Dança comigo, que aos teus desejos direi sim
Dança comigo, que nos teus braços vou sonhar
Dança comigo, que eu dou-te a lua, o sol e o mar

Dança comigo, que eu dou-te o céu que há em mim
Dança comigo, que aos teus desejos direi sim
Dança comigo, que nos teus braços vou sonhar
Dança comigo, que eu dou-te a lua, o sol e o mar

Hold To A Dream


Hold To A Dream
Composer(s): Tim O'Brien
Performer(s): Tim O'Brien;
Laurie Lewis; New Grass Revival



I'm happy to roam I can find my way
To the moutains to the ocean foam
If I had a map to show me the way
To your heart dear, I'd follow it home

Making my way through the dim lit streets
Through the old town no place to go
Wondering if the scene there in my mind
Will slow down I miss you so

Chorus
Hold to a dream, follow it up and down
Follow the sun, search the world around
Hold to a dream, carry it close to me
I'm frozen in time, you can only set me free

The rain outside is beating down
I'm here at home all alone
We used to stay so warm inside
On a night like this it chills my bones

Chorus

I'm missing you darling more and more
I'm thinking, thinking of you
Late at night I'm getting no sleep
I'm dreaming, dreaming of you

Chorus
