All Night Long (Peter Frampton)


All Night Long Composer(s): Peter Frampton - Mick Gallagher First release by: Peter Frampton - 1973



Trees falling leaves come alive, watch them glide Eyes come to life when you smile for a while Tables keep turning now the full moon has been seen Know what I mean Tell you what to do baby - all night long It would take me - all night long Show you how I feel - all night long I've seen you in the papers they say you play at pool I think you got me snookered if we play your rules Maybe you can't see the way to be sure anymore I can't help feeling like closing the door Images are fading and the thought of you has gone Baby it's wrong 'Cause all I need is - all night long It would only take me - all night long To show you how I feel - all night long They say you read me like a book then make the book a film You can write the screen play I can't wait 'til then I wish I knew what I could do It feels like somethings overdue Communications broken down Still got me snookered when you wear your crown All night long It would only take me - all night long Won't ya, won't ya give - all night long Yeah, I've seen you in the papers they say you play at pool I think you got me snookered no exception to the rule Give me - all night long Won't ya, won't ya give - all night long It would only take me - all night long To show you how I feel 'Cause you still got me snookered and it's quite unreal

Hombre


Hombre
Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez



De quererte cantar sufro disnea
bastante más allá de los pulmones
Tu sombra brilla hoy en la pelea
mayor de la conciencia y las razones
Por ti canto de pecho
como el sueño en que giro
y leve, como aún respiro
Por ti adelanto trecho
a lo que falta en tono
y canto lo que no perdono

Hombre, hombre y amigo
aún queda para estar contigo
Hombre, hombre sin templo
desciende a mi ciudad tu ejemplo

Supiste cabalgar contra quien odia
desde su torre de odio y exterminio
pero, en mi parecer, te dio más gloria
el alma que tallaste a tu dominio
La medicina escasa
la más insuficiente
es la de remediar la mente
Y la locura pasa
risueña cuando engaña
cual odio de la propia entraña

Hombre sin apellido
un poco de piedad te pido
hombre, ay, todavía
que un tanto más allá está el día
De la melena inculta a la calvicie
del número inicial a lo incontable
desde la tumba hasta la superficie
tras breve veinte tan multiplicable
me llega un canto alado
de fiebres de la infancia
me brota la invención del ansia
y entero y mutilado
furiosamente a besos
te doy mi corazón travieso

Hombre, hombre sin muerte
la noche respiró tu suerte
hombre de buen destino
y hay luces puestas en camino

Homage To Marat


Homage To Marat
Composer(s): Adrian Mitchell; Richard Peaslee
Performer(s): Peter Weiss



Four years after the revolution and the old king's execution
Four years after I remember how those courtiers took their final vow
String up every aristocrat
Out with the priests Let them live on their fat
Four years after we started fighting
Marat keeps on with his writing
Four years after the Bastille fell
He still recalls the old battle yell
Down with all of the ruling class
Throw all the generals out on their arse
Good old Marat by your side we'll stand or fall
You're the only one that we can trust at all
Four years he fought and he fought unafraid
Sniffing down traitors by traitors betrayed
Marat in the courtroom Marat underground
Sometimes the otter and sometimes the hound
Fight ing all the gentry and fighting every priest
Businessman the bourgeois the military beast
Marat always ready to stifle every scheme
of the sons of the arse licking dying regime
We've got new generals our leaders are new
They sit and they argue and all that they do
Is sell their own colleagues and ride upon their backs
And jail them and break them and give them all the axe
Screaming in language that no one understands
Of the rights that we grabbed with our own bleeding hands
When we wiped out the bosses and stormed through the wall
Of the prison they told us would outlast us all
Marat we're poor
And the poor stay poor
Marat don't make
Us wait anymore
We want our rights and we don't care how
We want our revolution now
Why do they have the gold
Why do they have the power
Why why why
Do they have the friends at the top
Why do they have the jobs at the top
We've got nothing
Always had nothing
Nothing but holes and millions of them
Living in holes dying in holes
Holes in our bellies and holes in our clothes
Marat we're poor
And the poor stay poor
Marat don't make us wait anymore
Poor old Marat they hunt you down
The bloodhounds are sniffing all over the town
Poor old Marat you work til your eyes turn as red as rust
poor old Marat
We trust in you ....

We get up early and we work all day
We put our time in 'cause we like to stay up

Holy Yumpin Yiminy


Holy Yumpin Yiminy
Composer(s): Bernie Grossman; Nat Vincent; Ed. Morton



A simple Swedish girl was Hilda
When she landed here
But in one short year
She learned our ways and everything
She got a beau named Yonnie Yonson
Since she left the boat
She sent his picture to the folks back home
On the back of it she wrote

Now if you look at Yonnie's picture, you might think he's slow
But he seems to know
'Bout cows and dogs and everything
And when you talk about my Yonnie, you speak of the best
I found out lots of things about that boy
He's so different from the rest

Holy Yumpin' Yiminy
How my Yonny can love
When he kisses me, oh what yoy, makes me feel so oh! by Yiminy!
He bane my sweet Papa, I bane his Turtle dove
He no bane much on reading books
And he bane worse when it comes to looks
but holy Yumpin Yiminy, how my Yonnie can love

Holy Yumpin' Yiminy
How my Yonny can love
When he kisses me, oh what yoy, makes me feel so oh! by Yiminy!
He bane my sweet Papa, I bane his Turtle dove
He's yust as clumsy as can be, but when he sits me on his knee
but holy Yumpin Yiminy, how my Yonnie can love

Steven (You Don't Eat Meat)
Composer(s): Clive Langer - Sandie Shaw
Performer(s): Sandie Shaw



You said you came in off the street
King of the promised land
You offered me your heart I took your hand
Now you go towards Albana
To challenge our destiny
How we tried
You don't eat meat
But you eat your heart out, Steven
It's time to get even I'll make it up to you
I'll go, I'll try
With you in mind
Oh Steven
You dressed me in my glad rags
You in your Gladiolia
Just like those other lifetimes
At least that's what you told me
The taste of reality was
Such a hard, bitter-sweet pill
You took to your bed again
Oh, are you still ill?
Are you still ill?
You don't eat meat
But you eat your heart out, Steven
It's time to get even I'll make it up to you
I'll go, I'll try
With you in mind
Oh Steven
I have faith for both of us, you said
I have faith for both of us
You walked in off the street
King of the promised land
You offered me your heart I took your hand
You don't eat meat
But you eat your heart out, Steven
It's time to get even I'll make it up to you
You don't eat meat
But you eat your heart out, Steven
It's time to get even I'll make it up to you
Oh Steven
You little charmer...

Holy Ground


Holy Ground
(Traditional)



Fare thee well, my lovely Dinah
a thousand times adieu
We are bound away from the Holy Ground
and the girls we love so true
We'll sail the salt seas over
and we'll return once more
And still I live in hope to see
the Holy Ground once more

Chorus:
You're the girl that I adore
And still I live in hope to see
the Holy Ground once more

Now when we're out a-sailing
and you are far behind
Fine letters will I write to you
with the secrets of my mind
The secrets of my mind, my girl
you're the girl that I adore
And still I live in hope to see
the Holy Ground once more

Chorus:
You're the girl that I adore
And still I live in hope to see
the Holy Ground once more

Oh now the storm is raging
and we are far from shore
The poor old ship she's sinking fast
and the riggings they are tore
The night is dark and dreary
we can scarcely see the moon
But still I live in hope to see
the Holy Ground once more

Chorus:
You're the girl that I adore
And still I live in hope to see
the Holy Ground once more

It's now the storm is over
and we are safe on shore
We'll drink a toast to the Holy Ground
and the girls that we adore
We'll drink strong ale and porter
and we'll make the taproom roar
And when our money is all spent
we'll go to sea once more

Chorus:
You're the girl that I adore
And still I live in hope to see
the Holy Ground once more

Heroe


Heroe
(Adapted from: Hero - 1993)
Composer(s): Walter Afanasieff - Mariah Carey - Jorge Luis Piloto
Performer(s): Mariah Carey - 1993
and multiple other artists



Como un libro
Que no sabes el final
Y te asusta lo que lees
Asi la vida es

Cuando naces
Ya te expones al dolor
Y de a poco y con valor
Logras crecer

Y como libra el corazon
Nos enseña que hay temor
Que hay fracasos y maldad
Que hay batallas que ganar

Y en cada pagina el amor
Nos combierte en luchador
Y descubres lo comun
No hay un heroe como tu

Son muy pocos
Que se arriesgan por amor
Pero tu tienes la fe
Y eso lo es todo

No te caigas
Que vivir es aprender
Y no hay nada que temer
Si crees en ti

Y como libra el corazon
Nos enseña que hay temor
Que hay fracasos y maldad
Que hay batallas que ganar

Y en cada pagina el amor
Nos combierte en luchador
Y descubres lo comun
No hay un heroe como tu

Solo Dios
Sabe ¿donde y cuando?
La vida no sera
Lo has echo bien
Solo con un sueño todo
Sabras ¿como vencer?

Y como libra el corazon
Nos enseña que hay temor
Que hay fracasos y maldad
Que hay batallas que ganar

Y en cada pagina el amor
Nos combierte en luchador
Y descubres lo comun
No hay un heroe como tu

To fit into a band
To sing my songs
And become a bad piano playing man

So here I am
In this Hollywood city
The city of the stars
Movies, women and cars
Well I guess I

Hero (Charlotte Perrelli)


Hero
Composer(s): Fredrik Kempe - Bobby Ljunggren
First performance by: Charlotte Perrelli - 2008



Everything has a beginning
Everything comes to an end
Take it or leave it, you'd better believe it
Be my love or be my friend

Try to deny what you're feeling
And you'll know that your heart will say no
Love will last longer, growing stronger and stronger
If you stay and don't let go

Oh... out of the light, like a star, like a hero
Love will survive
Oh... taking the fight is the life of a hero
Staying alive

This is a story of love and compassion
Only heroes can tell
Oh... out of the light, like a star, like a hero
Love will survive

Heaven and earth keep colliding
But with love on a world of its own
Oh... there you can't fake it, just make it or break it
Only you can find the one

Oh... out of the light, like a star, like a hero
Love will survive
Oh... taking the fight is the life of a hero
Staying alive

This is a story of love and compassion
Only heroes can tell
Oh... out of the light, like a star, like a hero
Love will survive (Will survive)
Oh... survive (Will survive)

Heroes can live on their own
But heroes never die alone

Oh... out of the light, like a star, like a hero
Love will survive
Oh... taking the fight is the life of a hero
Staying alive
(This is a story of love and compassion)
Heroes can tell
Oh, out of the light, like a star, like a hero
Love will survive

Hollywood Square Dance


Hollywood Square Dance
Composer(s): Charlie Hayes; Paul Weirick



In Hollywood the latest craze
Will make you want to dance for days
So, grab your partner, take a chance
Try the Hollywood Square Dance

For it's as easy as can be
You do it once and you will see
You square your shoulders, then advance
Try the Hollywood Square Dance

Ring around the rosies
Pocket full of posies, watch your little toesies
As you go 'round and 'round and 'round
Underneath the arches
Careful of your arches, ev'rybody marches
One, two, three, four, here we go

Now if at first you don't succeed
Just try again that's all you need
And soon you'll find your big romance
Doing the Hollywood Square Dance

Ring around the rosies
Alaman left with your left hand
Back to your partner, right and left grand
Pocket full of posies
Swing grandma across the hall
She ain't been swung since way last fall
Watch your little toesies
Chase that rabbit, chase that squirrel
Chase that purty girl 'round the world
As you go 'round and 'round and 'round

Stepsister's Lament


Stepsister's Lament
Composer(s): Oscar Hammerstein II - Richard Rodgers
Performer(s): Kenneth Williams
and multiple other artists



Why would a fellow want a girl like her?
A frail and fluffy beauty
Why can’t a fellow ever once prefer
A solid girl like me?
She’s a frothy little bubble
With a flimsy kind of charm
And with very little trouble
I could break her little arm
Oh, why would a fellow want a girl like her
So obviously unusual
Why can’t a fellow ever once prefer
A usual girl like me?

Her cheeks are a pretty shade of pink
But not any pinker than a rose is
Her skin may be delicate and soft
But not any softer than a doe’s is
Her neck is no whiter than a swan’s
She’s only as dainty as a daisy
She’s only as graceful as a bird
So why should the fellows go all crazy?

Oh, why would a fellow want a girl like her?
A girl who’s merely lovely
Why can’t a fellow ever once prefer
A girl who’s merely me?

What’s the matter with the men?
What’s the matter with the men?
What’s the matter with the men?

We'll dance in the dark
And we'll sing in the rain
Fly down to Rio
On top of a plane

You wear your top hat

Far away places
Shimmering sunsets
and stargazers

There's a place for you

We'll tango in Paris
Begin the beguine
Take it in turns
On the African Queen

Like citizen Kane
Or swing in the Jungle

Far away places
Shimmering sunsets
and stargazers

There's a place for you

oooh

I wonder who will
soon be holding you tight
romancing through the night

We'll dance in the dark
And we'll sing in the rain

We'll take Manhattan
Along with King Kong

Matinee moonlight
Far away places
Shimmering sunsets
and stargazers

There's a place for you

Matinee moonlight
Far away places
you and me both
are stargazers
Hollywood Romance
There's a place for you

Matinee moonlight
Far away places
Shimmering sunsets
and stargazers
Hollywood Romance
There's a place for you

Wolves Of The Sea


Wolves Of The Sea
Composer(s): Torbjörn Wassenius - Claes Andreasson - Johan Sahlen - Jonas Liberg
First performance by: Pirates of the Sea - 2008



With a hi hi ho and a hi hi hey
We're hoisting the flag to be free
We will steal the show, Jolly Rogers go
We are wolves of the sea

Don't try to run, it's all set and done
There's a treasure in sight
We are robbing you blind
I hope you don't mind
We are taking it all tonight

Just walk away, we will conquer it all
Pirates will stand and the loser will fall

With a hi hi ho and a hi hi hey
We're bound to be close to the sea
Our captain will stand on the bridge and sing:
Pirates are all we can be

With a hi hi ho and a hi hi hey
We're hoisting the flag to be free
We will steal the show, Jolly Rogers go
We are wolves of the sea

Down to the core, we're coming for more
With a sword close at hand
We are scary and bold, a chest full of gold
We get sealegs when sighting land

The hook of our captain is looking at you
There's no Peter Pan, so what can you do?

With a hi hi ho and a hi hi hey
We're bound to be close to the sea
Our captain will stand on the bridge and sing:
Pirates are all we can be

With a hi hi ho and a hi hi hey
We're hoisting the flag to be free
We will steal the show, Jolly Rogers go
We are wolves of the sea

If you cry out to storm
We pirates will stand tall
A skull and crossbone flag is closing in
To see you fall

(Hum, hi ho, hi hum, hi hey)
(Hum, hi ho, hi hey)
(Hum, hi ho, hi hum, hi hey)

With a hi hi ho and a hi hi hey
We're hoisting the flag to be free
We will steal the show, Jolly Rogers go
We are wolves of the sea

With a hi hi ho and a hi hi hey
We're bound to be close to the sea
Our captain will stand on the bridge and sing:
Pirates are all we can be

With a hi hi ho and a hi hi hey
We're hoisting the flag to be free
We will steal the show, Jolly Rogers go
We are wolves of the sea
We are wolves of the sea

Vitamin L


Vitamin L
Composer(s): Mary Kay Place
Performer(s): Mary Kay Place



When I was a kid
‘N’ livin’ at home
I took feelin’ fine for granted
Well, I didn’t know then
What I know now
Why Mama always raved ‘n’ ranted

She said, “Early to bed
‘N’ early to rise
Live the golden rule
‘N’ exercise
‘N’ most important of all”
She said with a grin
“Be sure you get your vitamins”

Vitamins A ‘n’ C ‘n’ D ‘n’ B
Well they keep you healthy ‘n’ well
But Mama didn’t tell me when I was a kid
All about Vitamin L
She sure forgot to tell me
When I was a kid
All about Vitamin L

Mama made me eat carrots
‘N’ hominy grits
Though I really felt disinclined
But she said they was packed with vitamin A
And if I didn’t that I’d go blind
She said, “Your skin’ll break out
‘N’ you’ll get beri beri
‘Less you eat all them black-eyed peas
‘Cause them and the greens
‘N’ the lima beans
They all got vitamin B

‘N’ you’ll get scurvy
‘Less you eat them prunes
‘Cause they got vitamin C
Well then, c’mon outside
‘N’ play in the sun
Or get rickets from no vitamin D”

Well, I did what she said
‘N’ I ate what she asked
‘N’ for a while I felt real swell
But I sure wish Mama
Had told me back then
All about Vitamin L
Yeah, I sure wish Mama
Had a mentioned to me
All about Vitamin L

Well, thanks to vitamins
‘N’ Mama’s advice
I grew to be healthy ‘n’ strong
Till a cowboy one night
That I loved at first sight
Well, he hurt me ‘n’ he done me wrong
Well, he loved me ‘n’ he left me
But he taught me the ropes
‘Specially ‘bout Vitamin L

‘Cause Vitamin L is a love, you see
And without it
Well, it’s hell

‘Cause of all the vitamins in your
Daily minimum requirement
Mm, Vitamin L’s the most
Important to you
‘Cause if you don’t get enough Vitamin L
Your heart’ll break a-right in two
I know vitamin C’s real good for a cold
Vitamin B if your lips should swell
But the only thing that cures
Them love sick blues
Is a shot o’ that Vitamin L
Well, I surely do need me
A big ole dose
Of that good ole Vitamin L

Steppin' Stones


Steppin' Stones
Composer(s): Kat Graham - J. Francis Keus
Performer(s): Lorrie Morgan



On the rocky road to love the goin' has been rough
I fall down but somehow I always got back up
I've climbed every mountain, crossed every valley too
I had a heart without a home but I kept on keepin' on
Lookin' for a love that would be true
But they were all just steppin' stones to you

Well, I have walked on mines when I should have read the signs
Sayin', 'Dead end, don't rush in' but I did every time
An' I started believin' that I was born to lose, oh, don't know
Oh, but those days are gone 'cause the love that you have shown
Has given me another point of view
Oh, but they were all just steppin' stones to you

Steppin' stones, I've stumbled over hearts 'til I found, solid ground
It's so clear, ain't it funny that it took a trail of tears to get me here
Now with no stone left unturned I have finally learned
There's a reason, things work out the way they do
Yeah, they were all just steppin' stones to you

I have no regrets for the paths I have walked
They all turned to sand now but you are my rock

Steppin' stones, I've stumbled over hearts 'til I found, solid ground
It's so clear but ain't it funny that it took a trail of tears to get me here
Now with no stone left unturned, I have finally learned
There's a reason, things work out the way they do
But they were all just steppin' stones to you

Steppin' stones, steppin' stones

Senhora Do Mar


Senhora Do Mar
First performance by: Vânia Fernandes - 2008



Senhora do mar
Ante vós, me tendes caída
Quem vem tirar meia da vida e da paz
Desta mesa, desta casa, perdidas?
Amor, qu'é de ti?

Senhora do mar
Ante vós, minha alma está vazia
Quem vem chamar a si o que é meu?
Ó mar alto, traz pr'a mim
Amor meu sem fim!

Ai, negras águas, ondas de mágoas
Gelaram-m'o fogo no olhar
Ele não torna a navegar!
E ninguém vos vê chorar
Senhora do mar!

Quem vem tirar meia da vida e da paz
Desta mesa, desta casa, perdidas?
Amor, qu'é de ti?

Ai, negras águas, ondas de mágoas
Gelaram-m'o fogo no olhar
Feridas em sal, rezas em vão...
Deixai seu coração
Bater junto a mim!

Ai, negras águas, ondas de mágoas
Gelaram-m'o fogo no olhar
Ele não torna a navegar!
E ninguém vos vê chorar
Senhora do mar!

Hollywood Nights


Hollywood Nights
Composer(s): Bob Seger
Performer(s): Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band;
and various other artists



She stood there bright as the sun
On that California coast
He was a Midwestern boy on his own
She looked at him with those soft eyes
So innocent and blue
He knew right then he was too far from home
He was too far from home
She took his hand and she led him along that golden beach
They watched the waves tumble over the sand
They drove for miles and miles
Up those twisting turning roads
Higher and higher and higher they climbed

And those Hollywood nights
In those Hollywood hills
She was looking so right
In her diamonds and frills
Oh those big city nights
In those high rolling hills
Above all the lights
She had all of her skills

He'd headed west cause he felt that a change would do him good
See some old friends, good for the soul
She had been born with a face
That would let her get her way
He saw that face and he lost all control
He had lost all control
Night after night
Day after day
It went on and on
Then came that morning he woke up alone
He spent all night staring down at the lights on LA
Wondering if he could ever go home

And those Hollywood nights
In those Hollywood hills
She was looking so right
It was giving him chills
In those big city nights
In those high rolling hills
Above all the lights
With a passion that kills

In those Hollywood nights
In those Hollywood hills
She was looking so right
In her diamonds and frills
Oh those big city nights
In those high rolling hills
Above all the lights
She had all of her skills
