Still Crazy After All These Years


Still Crazy After All These Years
Composer(s): Paul Simon
First release by: Paul Simon - 1975
Covered by multiple other artists



I met my old lover
On the street last night
She seemed so glad to see me
I just smiled
And we talked about some old times
And we drank ourselves some beers
Still crazy after all these years
Still crazy after all these years

I'm not the kind of man
Who tends to socialise
I seem to lean on
Old familiar ways
And I ain't no fool for love songs
That whisper in my ears
Still crazy after all these years
Still crazy after all these years

Four in the morning
Crapped out
Yawning
Longing my life away
I'll never worry
Why should I?
It's all gonna fade

Now I sit by my window
And I watch the cars
I fear I'll do some damage
One fine day
But I would not be convicted
By a jury of my peers
Still crazy
Still crazy
Still crazy after all these years

Home Where I Belong


Home Where I Belong
Composer(s): Pat Terry
Performer(s): B.J. Thomas;
and various other artists



They say that heaven's pretty
And living here is too
But if they said that I
Would have to choose between the two
I'd go home, going home, where I belong

And sometimes when I'm dreaming
It comes as no surprise
That if you look and see
The homesick feeling in my eyes
I'm going home, going home, where I belong

While I'm here I'll serve him gladly
And sing him all my songs
I'm here, but not for long
And when I'm feeling lonely
And when I'm feeling blue
It's such a joy to know that
I am only passing through

I'm headed home, going home, where I belong

And one day I'll be sleeping,
When death knocks on my door
And I'll awake and find that
I'm not homesick anymore
I'll be home, going home, where I belong

Secret Combination


Secret Combination
Composer(s): Konstantinos Pantzis - Poseidon Yannopoulos
First performance by: Kalomira - 2008



Can you see it?
Can you see it you have to discover me?
What goes wrong when I am crying
Or what I want when I'm smiling

Can you feel it?
Can you feel it that I'm not a little girl?
You're misunderstanding my way
And all the roles that I like to play

My secret combination – it's a mystery for you
Use your imagination, I'm not easy, but I'm true
My secret combination – boy, you have to try it hard
To win a destination in the centre of my heart

My secret combination – it's a mystery for you
Use your imagination, I'm not easy, but I'm true
My secret combination – boy, you have to try it hard
To win a destination in the centre of my heart

An open book
An open book, well, I'm sorry, I am not
Sometimes I'm acting like a lady
Sometimes woman, sometimes baby

My secret combination – it's a mystery for you
Use your imagination, I'm not easy, but I'm true
My secret combination – boy, you have to try it hard
To win a destination in the centre of my heart

My secret combination – it's a mystery for you
Use your imagination, I'm not easy, but I'm true
My secret combination – boy, you have to try it hard
To win a destination in the centre of my heart

My secret combination – it's a mystery for you
Use your imagination, I'm not easy, but I'm true
My secret combination – boy, you have to try it hard
To win a destination in the centre of my heart
To win a destination in the centre of my heart

Home Was Never Like This


Home Was Never Like This
Composer(s): A. Seymour Brown; Albert Gumble



Hiram was a farmer from way up the state
He came to the city and thought it was great
He brought his bank-roll and his best Sunday suit
And when he doll'd all up
Oh! he was cute!
Hiram met a stranger, one night on Broadway
And of course she took him in to a cafe
People dancing there
Hiram said, "I declare!
That's my middle, ding bust it!"

Hiram said, "I'm out just to have a good time
I don't care for money so "zip" goes a dime!
I'll send a wire up home and tell them right now
If you are short of change why just sell a cow!"
Ev'ry time the music would give him a chance
Hiram grab'd a chicken and started to dance
He'd yell "This is great!"
I'll learn to hesitate
If I break a leg, by golly!"

Come on and dance with me
Come on and dance with me
I feel as young as a boy!
I want to learn each gol darn step that they do
Teach me ev'ry one that is new!
I want to learn the whirls
Dance with the pretty girls
Don't mind the steps that I miss

I'll get it!
Here's where I'm going to stay
I'll give the farm away
Home was never like this!

Still ... You Turn Me On


Still ... You Turn Me On
Composer(s): Greg Lake
Performer(s): Emerson, Lake & Palmer



Do you want to be an angel
Do you want to be a star
Do you want to play some magic on my guitar?
Do you want to be a poet
Do you want to be my string?
You could be anything
Do you want to be the lover of another
Undercover? You could even be the man on the moon

Do you want to be the player
Do you want to be the string?
Let me just tell you something
It just don't mean a thing
You see it really doesn't matter
when you're buried in disguise
by the dark glass on your eyes
though your flesh has crystalised
Still .... you turn me on

Do you want to be the pillow where I lay my head
Do you want to be the feathers lying in my bed?
Do you want to be a colour cover magazine; create a scene
Every day a little sadder
A little madder
Someone get me a ladder
Do you want to be the singer
Do you want to be the song?
Let me tell you something
you just couldn't be more wrong
You see I really have to tell you
that it all gets so intense
From my experience
It just doesn't seem to make sense
Still .... you turn me on

Home To Myself


Home To Myself
Composer(s): Melissa Manchester; Carole Bayer Sager
Performer(s): Melissa Manchester;
and various other artists



I wake up and see
The lights of the day
Shining on me
Make my own time
It's mine to spend
Think to myself
My own best friend
It's not so bad all alone
Coming home to myself
Again

Now I understand
Whatever I feel
Is whoever I am
Watching my life
And how it has grown
Looking on back
To the things I have known
And it's not so bad all alone
Coming home to myself
Again

It's not so bad
To get lost in my tears
And to laugh and to cry
For the years gone by
Oh my, oh my

Now somehow I know
I've come a long way
Gotta long way to go
But something inside
Is making me strong
And in the bad times
I'll get along
Cuz, it's not so bad
All alone coming
home to myself
again

I'm comin' home

Day After Day (Elnur & Samir)


Day After Day
Composer(s): Goher Hesenzade - Zahra Badalbayli
First performance by: Elnur & Samir - 2008



For peace we pray
Save us from all fears
Oh Lord, save us...

You can feel me in your mind
With every breath you take
Burn the earth with flame of sins
I'll make you feel dismay

Our feelings play with us
But you must keep yourself under control
If you're searching for resolves
Be ready for the tolls

Show us the right way
Day after day
All fears we must forget
Then better world we'll get

If you have the greatest aim
Keep it in your soul
I'll be always by your side
Always in your heart

Our dreams can play with us
Even if we think that we keep control
From all horrors of the world
Salvation is love, love

The earth is in flame
And you must share the blame
Look inside yourself
We both are there

Day after day
Day after day
Day...

Day after day
All fears we must forget
Then better world we'll get
Then better world we'll get
Then better world we'll get
Then better world we'll get

Still (The Commodores)


Still
Composer(s): Lionel Richie
First release by: The Commodores - 1979
Covered by multiple other artists



Lady, morning's just a moment away
And I'm without you once again
You laughed at me
You said you never needed me
I wonder if you need me now

So many dreams that flew away
So many words we didn't say
Two people lost in a storm
Where did we go?
Where'd we go?

We lost what we both had found
You know we let each other down
But then most of all
I do love you
Still!

So many dreams that flew away
So many words we didn't say
Two people lost in a storm
Where did we go?
Where'd we go?

We played the games that people play
We made our mistakes along the way
Somehow I know deep in my heart
You needed me
'cause I needed you so desperatly!
We were too blind to see
But then most of all
I do love you
Still!

Home Of The Brave


Home Of The Brave
Composer(s): Steve Lukather; David Paich;
Jimmy Webb; Joseph Williams
Performer(s): Toto



Everything's gonna be alright boys
Help is on the way
Hold your head up high now
There's no need to cry now
We're not running anymore

Leave the politics behind boys
They're not working anymore
There's so much more at stake here
It's make or break here
Haven't we been here before
Tell me what we're waiting for

You gotta remember
You don't have to be afraid
You still have the freedom to learn
And say what you wanna say
You gotta remember
Don't let 'em take away
The land we call the home of the brave

Who sings the song of the people
You don't hear it anymore
I heard it late last summer
To the beat of a different drummer
It never sounded quite like this before

So you're trying to shake this feeling
That trouble's right outside the door
You lie awake each dark night
Like a time bomb wound up too tight
A storm in waiting just offshore
Tell me what we're waiting for

You gotta remember
You don't have to be afraid
You still have the freedom to learn
And say what you wanna say
You gotta remember
Don't let 'em take away
The land we call the home of the brave

You gotta remember
You don't have to be afraid
You still have the freedom to learn
And say what you wanna say
You gotta remember
Don't let 'em take away
The land we call the home of the brave
[repeats 2x]

And Still


And Still
Composer(s): Liz Hengber - Tommy Lee James
Reba McEntire; The Country Dance Kings; Homewreckers



Thousands of people live in this town
And I had to run into him
When I saw him there on that busy street
Those feelings came back again
There was nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
He walked up to me, looked in my eyes

And still
The world stood still
I couldn’t move
And all I could feel
Was this aching in my heart
Saying I loved him still

He said how’ve you been
It’s great to see you again
You’re really a sight for sore eyes
I said, I can’t complain
I’m doing fine
We talked as the people rushed by
We laughed about old times and all we went through
That’s when he hugged me and said I’ve missed you

That’s when she walked up to him
He said, this is my wife
I gave my best smile
But I was dying inside
He said we gotta go now
It’s getting late
It was so good to see you
Then they walked away

Home Of The Blues


Home Of The Blues
Composer(s): Dave Steen; Colin James
Performer(s): Maria Muldaur



This old house never was much
But you and me together gave a lovin' touch
Now you're gone, it's not the same
The whole house is haunted with the sound of your name

There's just too many menories walkin' these halls
Too many teardrops when the evening falls
I've had enough, I'm leavin' it all
Got no ticket, just my walking shoes
Cause since you loved me baby I got nothing to lose
I'm packing up before the rent is due
This old house without you is just the home of the blues
Home of the blues

I got a cold bed and an empty heart
I think I hear you callin' and it tears me apart
Mississippi Delta got nothing on this shack
I'm leavin' here tomorrow and I ain't lookin' back

There's just too many menories walkin' these halls
Too many teardrops when the evening falls
I've had enough, I'm leavin' it all
Got no ticket, just my walking shoes
Cause since you loved me baby I got nothing to lose
I'm packing up before the rent is due
This old house without you is just the home of the blues
Home of the blues

Got no ticket, just my walking shoes
Cause since you loved me baby I got nothing to lose
I'm packing up before the rent is due
This old house without you is just the home of the blues
Home of the blues

Still (Bill Anderson)


Still
Composer(s): Bill Anderson
Performer(s): Bill Anderson



(Still) though you broke my heart
(Sill) though we're far apart
(I love you still)
(Still) after all this time
(Still) you're still on my mind
(I love you still)

I've lost count of the hours and I've lost track of the days
In fact, I've lost just about everything since you went away
Everything, that is, except the mem'ries you left me
And that's one thing that no one can mar
I don't know who you're with; I don't even know where you've gone
My only hope is that some day you might hear this song
and you'll know that I wrote it especially for you
And I love you, wherever you are

(Still) after all this time
(Still) you're still on my mind
(I love you still)

This flame in my heart is like an eternal fire
for every day it burns hotter and every day it burns higher
And I haven't been able to put out one little flicker, not even with all of these tears
My friends think I'm crazy and maybe I am
But I'll carry this torch just as long as I can
for some day, you might just decide to come home and I want you to know I'm still here

(Still) though you broke my heart
(Still) though we're far apart
(I love you still)

Home Means Nevada


Home Means Nevada
Composer(s): Bertha Raffetto



Way out in the land of the setting sun
Where the wind blows wild and free
There's a lovely spot, just the only one
That means home sweet home to me
If you follow the old Kit Carson trail
Until desert meets the hills
Oh you certainly will agree with me
It's the place of a thousand thrills

Home means Nevada
Home means the hills
Home means the sage and the pine
Out by the Truckee, silvery rills
Out where the sun always shines
Here is the land which I love the best
Fairer than all I can see
Deep in the heart of the golden west
Home means Nevada to me

Whenever the sun at the close of day
Colors all the western sky
Oh my heart returns to the desert grey
And the mountains tow'ring high
Where the moon beams play in shadowed glen
With the spotted fawn and doe
All the live long night until morning light
Is the loveliest place I know

Home means Nevada
Home means the hills
Home means the sage and the pine
Out by the Truckee, silvery rills
Out where the sun always shines
Here is the land which I love the best
Fairer than all I can see
Deep in the heart of the golden west
Home means Nevada to me

Divine


Divine
Composer(s): Sébastien Tellier - Amandine de La Richardière
First performance by: Sébastien Tellier - 2008



No no no no no no no
I'm looking for a band today
I see the Chivers anyway
Through my eyes

Oh oh oh
I... I'm alone in life to say
I love the Chivers anyway
'Cause Chivers look divine
Look away
They try to find the Milky Way
They love to drink it every day

No no no no no no no
You... you and I, it's like you said
I'm not a Chivers anyway
You look fine

Oh oh oh
I... I'm alone in life to say
I love the Chivers anyway
'Cause Chivers look divine
Look away
They try to find the Milky Way

I... toi et moi, c'est comme tu sais
Comment mon cœur a succombé
She looks fine

Oh oh oh
I'm looking for a band today
I see the Chivers anyway
I'll be a Chivers guy some day
In my mind

Dudu dududu dududu...
Dudu dududu dududu...
Du... dudu...

Home Lovin' Man


Home Lovin' Man
Composer(s): Roger Cook; Roger Greenaway; Tony Macaulay
Performer(s): Andy Williams; Tony Christie



The harbor lights were shining
The moon was at its high
The captain said, "Thank God we're home!
We've drunk the barrels dry"
The mizzen mast was shaken
And the lanterns all burned low
I'd never thought we'd make it
But we've twenty leagues to go
So blow you southern trades
And guide me safely to the shore
I'll never ever gonna sail
The seven seas no more

Chorus:
I don't want to miss the sand in my hair
The roll of the tide and the salt in the air
Deep inside it's true
I'm a home lovin' man
Comin' on home to you
I don't want to miss the wind in my eyes
The shimmerin' light when the seagull flies
Lo, I've traveled far
I'm a home loving man
Home is where you are

The crowd upon the quayside
Their faces long and drawn
Are suddenly awakened
As we sail in on the dawn
The wives, the sons, the lovers
Who never gave up hope
All breathe a sigh together
As they reach to catch the rope

God bless you, southern trades
You got me safely back this time
Oh, you'll never have the need again
To save this soul of mine

Chorus

Repeat Chorus:
Yes, I don't want to miss the sand in my hair
The roll of the tides and the salt in the air
Deep inside it's true
I'm a home lovin' man
Comin' on home to you...

Sticks And Stones


Sticks And Stones
Composer(s): Jonathan Edwards
Performer(s): Jonathan Edwards



Where do I begin to pack up my things
And move away from what might have been
Was it in some song that came out all wrong
And yet we both tried so hard to sing
I'll pack my guitar
I'll leave you with the car
I hope it won't be too cold to start
But I must get going
The kids get up at dawn
And this is sure to break somebody's heart

(Chorus)
Now, when did we grow this far apart
Love was forever at the start
But now it's come down to sticks and stones
When did we go wrong
When were we not strong
And did we try hard enough to care
It's cold as hell outside
It's just as cold inside
Now that there's nothing left to share
I'll pack up my books, linger with last looks
And I'll throw them all in my truck and drive
From these sticks and stones
And the lies on the phone
But I hope all that you want will arrive

(Chorus)
I'd better be on my way right now
I'm bad at goodbyes anyhow
Now it's come down to sticks and stones

(Chorus)
When did we grow this far apart
Love was so kind to us at the start
But now it's come down to sticks and stones
I'd better be on my way right now
I'm bad at goodbyes anyhow
Now it's come down to sticks and stones

Home Is Where The Heart Is (Old & In The Way)


Home Is Where The Heart Is
Composer(s): Connie Gately; John Talley
Performer(s): Old & In The Way;
and various other artists



Nestled in the pine trees in the mountains
Down along the road, I love it still
There I know my dear old mother's waiting
Waiting, and I know she always will

Home is where the heart is, they tell me
Many times I've travelled that lonesome road
They'll never find a pal as sweet as mother
They'll never find a place as sweet as home

Now many years ago I left my old home
Started out to ramble all around
If ever I return to where I came from
I'll build a little home and settle down

Home is where the heart is, they tell me
Many times I've travelled that lonesome road
They'll never find a pal as sweet as mother
They'll never find a place as sweet as home

Shady Lady


Shady Lady
Composer(s): Philip Kirkorov - Karen Kavaleryan
First performance by: Ani Lorak - 2008



You've been my superstar
But it's not what you are
You've been my super hero
Since I've lived in your shade
Every step that I made
Brought me nothing but zero

But I'm staying alive
And now I'm changin' my life
With a burning desire
No one knows who I am
But I don't give a damn
Gonna set you on fire

Shady lady – I'm gonna strike like thunder
Are you ready? I wanna make you wonder
Rollin' steady – I'm gonna make you shiver
My heart is burning

Shady lady – I'm gonna strike like thunder
Are you ready? I wanna make you wonder
Rollin' steady – I'm gonna make you shiver
My heart is burning now

Just take a look at me
Deep inside and you'll see
All I kept under cover
There is one thing I bet
You're about to regret
I'm no longer your lover

I've just turned one more page
I belong to the stage
Baby, don't call me baby

Shady lady – I'm gonna strike like thunder
Are you ready? I wanna make you wonder
Rollin' steady – I'm gonna make you shiver
My heart is burning now

(Shady lady)
(Shady lady)

I wanna light you up and leave you alone
I am a brand new star that you've never known
I wanna light you up and leave you alone
I am a brand new star that you've never known

(Shady lady)
(Are you ready?)

Shady lady – I'm gonna strike like thunder
Are you ready? I wanna make you wonder
Rollin' steady – I'm gonna make you shiver
My heart is burning now

Home Is Where The Heart Is (Elvis Presley)


Home Is Where The Heart Is
Composer(s): Sherman Edwards; Hal David; Donald Meyer
Performer(s): Elvis Presley



Home is where the heart is
And my heart is anywhere you are
Anywhere you are is home

I don't need a mansion
On a hill that overlooks the sea
Anywhere you're with me is home

Maybe I'm a rolling stone
Who won't amount to much
But everything that I hold dear
Is close enough to touch

For home is where the heart is
And my heart is anywhere you are
Anywhere you are is home

Maybe I'm a rolling stone
Who won't amount to much
But everything that I hold dear
Is close enough to touch

For home is where the heart is
And my heart is anywhere you are
Anywhere you are is home, home, home, home, home
