HUNGRY HEART
BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN
Got a wife and kids in Baltimore, Jack
I went out for a ride and I never went back
Like a river that don't know where it's flowing
I took a wrong turn and I just kept going
Everybody's got a hungry heart
Everybody's got a hungry heart
Lay down your money and you play your part
Everybody's got a hungry heart
I met her in a Kingstown bar
We fell in love I knew it had to end
We took what we had and we ripped it apart
Now here I am down in Kingstown again
Everybody's got a hungry heart
Everybody's got a hungry heart
Lay down your money and you play your part
Everybody's got a hungry heart
Solo
Everybody needs a place to rest
Everybody wants to have a home
Don't make no difference what nobody says
Ain't nobody like to be alone
Everybody's got a hungry heart
Everybody's got a hungry heart
Lay down your money and you play your part
Everybody's got a hungry heart

I CAN’T HELP MYSELF
Oooooooooooooooh!
Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch
You know that I love you
I can’t help myself
I love you and nobody else
Girl, it starts to flame
Burning in my heart,
Tearing it all apart..
No matter how I try
My love I cannot hide....
In and out my life
You come and you go
Leaving just your picture behind....
And I’ve kissed it a thousand times
When you snap your finger,
or wink you eye,
I come arunning to you
I’m tied to your apron strings,
And there’s nothing that I can do
’Cause Sugar Pie Honey Bunch
You know that I’m waiting for you
I can’t help myself
I love you and nobody else
Mellanspel
Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch
You know that I love you
I can’t help myself...
No... I can’t help myself
I can’t help myself,
No, I can’t help myself,
’Cause, Sugar Pie Honey Bunch
I’m weaker than a man should be
I can’t help myself
I’m a fool in love ’ya see
Wanna tell you I don’t love you,
Tell you that we’re through
And I try....
But ev’ry time I see your face,
I get all choked up inside
When I call your name,

Sugar Pie Honey Bunch
I’d do anything you ask me to
I can’t help myself
I want you and nobody else
AINT NO MOUNTAIN HIGH ENOUGH
Listen baby, ain’t no mountain high,
Ain’t no valley low, ain’t no river wide

If you need me call me, no matter
where you are,
No matter how far; don’t worry baby
Just call my name; I’ll be there in a hurry
You don’t have to worry,
Cause baby there ain’t no mountain
high enough,
Ain’t no valley low enough,
Ain’t no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you babe
’Cause you are my goal
If you’re ever in trouble;
I’ll be there on the double
Just send for me, oh baby, ha
My love is alive
Way down in my heart
Although we are miles apart
If you ever need a helping hand,
I’ll be there on the double
Just as fast as I can
Don’t you know that there
Ain’t no mountain high enough,
Ain’t no valley low enough,
Ain’t no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you babe
Remember the day I set you free
I told you you could always count
on me darling
From that day on, I made a vow,
I’ll be there when you want me,
Some way, some how
Don’tcha know that there
Ain’t no mountain high enough,
Ain’t no valley low enough,
Ain’t no river wide enough
Ain’t mountain high enough
Ain’t no valley low enough
Oh baby there ain’t no mountain

Ain’t no valley low enough,
Ain’t no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you babe
Oh no darling
No wind, no rain
Or winters cold can stop me baby,

IT’S NOT UNUSUAL
It’s not unusual to be loved by anyone
It’s not unusual to have fun with anyone
but when I see you hanging about with anyone
It’s not unusual to see me cry,
oh I wanna’ die
It’s not unusual to go out at any time
but when I see you out and about it’s such a crime
if you should ever want to be loved by anyone,
It’s not unusual it happens every day no matter what you say
you find it happens all the time
love will never do what you want it to
why can’t this crazy love be mine
Mellanspel
It’s not unusual, to be mad with anyone
It’s not unusual, to be sad with anyone
but if I ever find that you’ve changed at anytime
it’s not unusual to find out that I’m in love with you
whoaohohohoh

DANCING ON MY OWN
Somebody said you got a new friend
Does she love you better than I can?
There’s a big black sky over my town
I know where you’re at, I bet she’s around
Yeah, I know it’s stupid
I just gotta see it for myself
I’m in the corner, watching you kiss her, ohh
I’m right over here, why can’t you see me, ohh
I’m giving it my all, but I’m not the girl you’re taking home, ooo
I keep dancing on my own
I keep dancing on my own
I’m just gonna dance all night
I’m all messed up, I’m so out of line
Stilettos and broken bottles
I’m spinning around in circles
I’m in the corner, watching you kiss her, ohh
I’m right over here, why can’t you see me, ohh
I’m giving it my all, but I’m not the girl you’re taking home, ooo
I keep dancing on my own
I keep dancing on my own
So far away but still so near
The lights go on, the music dies
But you don’t see me standing here
I just came to say goodbye
I’m in the corner, watching you kiss her, ohh
I’m giving it my all, but I’m not the girl you’re taking home, ooo
I keep dancing on my own
I keep dancing on my own
I’m in the corner, watching you kiss her, ohh
I’m right over here, why can’t you see me, ohh
I’m giving it my all, but I’m not the girl you’re taking home, ooo
I keep dancing on my own
I keep dancing on my own
I keep dancing on my own

VALERIE
Well sometimes I go out by myself
And I look across the water
And I think of all the things, what you’re
doing
And in my head I paint a picture
Since I’ve come on home,
Well my body’s been a mess
And I’ve missed your ginger hair
And the way you like to dress
Won’t you come on over?
Stop making a fool out of me
Why don’t you come on over, Valerie?
Since I’ve come on home,
Well my body’s been a mess
And I’ve missed your ginger hair
And the way you like to dress
Won’t you come on over
Stop making a fool out of me
Why don’t you come on over, Valerie?
Valerie [x3]

And I think of all the things, what you’re

And in my head I paint a picture

Well my body’s been a mess
And I’ve missed your ginger hair
And the way you like to dress
Won’t you come on over?
Stop making a fool out of me
Why don’t you come on over, Valerie?
Valerie [x3]
Did you have to go to jail,
Put your house on up for sale, did you
get a good lawyer?
I hope you didn’t catch a tan,
I hope you find the right man who’ll
fix it for ya
Are you shopping anywhere,
Changed the color of your hair,
are you busy?
And did you have to pay that fine
That you were dodging all the time, are
you still dizzy?
Valerie [x7]
Why don’t you come over, Valerie?

CARELESS WHISPER
I Feel So Unsure
As I take your hand
And lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies
Something in your eyes
Calls to mind a silver screen
And all it’s sad goodbyes
Mellanspel
Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe it’s better this way
We’d hurt each other with the things we
want to say
We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
But now who’s gonna dance with me
Please stay
[Chorus]
I’m never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it’s easy to pretend
I know you’re not a fool
I should have known better than to cheat
a friend
And waste a chance that I’ve been given
So I’m never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you
[Chorus]
I’m never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it’s easy to pretend
I know you’re not a fool
I should have known better than to cheat
a friend
And waste a chance that I’ve been given
So I’m never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you
Time can never mend
The careless whisper of a good friend
To the heart and mind
Ignorance is kind
There’s no comfort in the truth
Pain is all you’ll find
Mellanspel
Now that you’ve gone
Now that you’ve gone
Now that you’ve gone
Was what I did so wrong
So wrong that you had to leave me alone
[Chorus]
I’m never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it’s easy to pretend
I know you’re not a fool
I should have known better than to cheat
a friend
And waste a chance that I’ve been given
So I’m never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you

HIGHER AND HIGHER
Your love, lifting me higher
Than I’ve ever been lifted before
So keep it it up
Quench my desire
And I’ll be at your side, forever more
I’m so glad, I’ve finally found you
Yes, that one, in a million girl
And now with my loving arms around you
Honey, I can stand up and face the world
You know your love (your love keeps
lifting me)
Keep on lifting (love keeps lifting me)
Higher (lifting me)
Higher and higher (higher)
I said your love (your love keeps lifting me)
Keep on (love keeps lifting me)
Lifting me (lifting me)
Higher and higher (higher)
Now once I was down hearted
Disappointment was my closest friend
But then you came and it soon departed
And you know he never
Showed his face again
That’s why
You know your love (your love keeps
lifting me)
Keep on lifting (love keeps lifting me)
Higher (lifting me)
Higher and higher (higher)
I said your love (your love keeps
lifting me)
Keep on (love keeps lifting me)
Lifting me (lifting me)
Higher and higher (higher)

Keep on (love keeps lifting me)
Lifting me (lifting me)
Higher and higher (higher)
Now sock it me
WICKED GAME
CHRIS ISAAK
The world was on fire and no one could save me but you.
It’s strange what desire will make foolish people do.
I never dreamed that I’d meet somebody like you.
And I never dreamed that I’d lose somebody like you.
No, I don’t want to fall in love (this girl is only gonna break your heart)
No, I don’t want to fall in love (this girl is only gonna break your heart)
With you, with you (this girl is only gonna break your heart)
With you
With you
What a wicked game you play to make me feel this way.
What a wicked thing to do, to let me dream of you.
What a wicked thing to say, you never felt this way.
What a wicked thing to do, to make me dream of you
And I don’t wanna fall in love (this girl is only gonna break your heart)
No, I don’t wanna fall in love (this girl is only gonna break your heart)
With you.

YOU CAN’T HURRY LOVE
SUPREMES
I need love, love
To ease my mind
I need to find, find someone to call mine
But mama said
You can’t hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said love don’t come easy
It’s a game of give and take
You can’t hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said love don’t come easy
It’s a game of give and take
You can’t hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said trust, give it time
No matter how long it takes
You can’t hurry love
No, you just have to wait
You got to trust, give it time
No matter how long it takes
No, love, love don’t come easy
But I keep on waiting
Anticipating for that soft voice
To talk to me at night
For some tender arms
To hold me tight
I keep waiting
I keep on waiting
But it ain’t easy
It ain’t easy
But how many heartaches
Must I stand before I find a love
To let me live again
Right now the only thing
That keeps me hangin’ on
When I feel my strength, yeah
It’s almost gone
I remember mama said:
But mama said:
You can’t hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said to trust, give it time
No matter how long it takes
You can’t hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said love don’t come easy
It’s a game of give and take
You can’t hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said love don’t come easy
It’s a game of give and take
You can’t hurry love
But I keep on waiting
How long must I wait
How much more can I take
Before loneliness will cause my heart
Heart to break?
No I can’t bear to live my life alone
I grow impatient for a love to call my own
But when I feel that I, I can’t go on
These precious words keeps me hangin’ on
I remember mama said:
11
You can’t hurry love
WILL YOU STILL LOVE ME TOMORROW
Tonight you’re mine completely
You give your love so sweetly
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
Will you still love me tomorrow?
Is this a lasting treasure
Or just a moment’s pleasure?
Can I believe the magic of your sighs?
Will you still love me tomorrow?
Tonight with words unspoken
And you say that I’m the only one, the only one, yeah
But will my heart be broken
When the night meets the morning star?
Honey, I’d like to know that your love
Is love I can be sure of
Come on and tell, come on tell me now, cause I won’t ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow?
Mellanspel
Come on and tell come on tell me now and I won’t ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow?
Will you still love me tomorrow?
Will you still love me tomorrow?

VÄLKOMMEN IN
VERONICA MAGGIO
Du, jag slänger ner en nyckel ifrån fönstret i köket
jag bor fyra trappor upp och du är välkommen in
Massa skor i hela hallen, folk vid fläkten som röker
Det är fest hos mig i kväll och hela världen är min
O, oh sång på sång
Det ekar över hela staden
Åh, nå’t stort på gång
För det är kö från gatan upp till hallen
Och grannarna har klagat sedan kvart över tio
Nu är alla i mitt kök och jag är alldeles paj
Spelar pappas skiva ifrån ’69
De sjunger ”cosa vuol dir sona una donna ormai
O mare nero, o mare nero, o mare ne”
Sänker volymen, låter alla sjunga med
Kan inte tänka, jag står bara här och ler
O, oh sång på sång
Det ekar över hela staden
Åh, nå’t stort på gång
För det är kö från gatan upp till hallen
Det ekar över alla taken
Ja, det är kö från gatan upp till hallen
Dunkande hjärtan klockan kvart över fem
Imma på rutorna men ingen går hem
Flackande blickar upp och ner och igen, åh
Ingen vet ifall det verkligen hänt
Ingen vet ifall det verkligen hänt
Imma på rutorna men ingen går hem, åh
Dunkande hjärtan klockan kvart över fem
Ingen vet ifall det verkligen hänt
Verkligen hänt
Sång på sång
Det ekar över hela staden
Åh, nått stort på gång
För det är kö från gatan upp till hallen
Det ekar över hela staden
För det är kö från gatan upp till hallen

UNCHAINED MELODY
Whoa, my love
My darling
I’ve hungered for your touch
A long, lonely time
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love to me
Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea
Lonely rivers sigh, ”Wait for me, wait for me
I’ll be coming home, wait for me”
Whoa, my love
My darling
I’ve hungered, hungered for your touch
A long, lonely time
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love to me

SON OF A PREACHER MAN
BillyRay was a preacher’s son
And when his daddy would visit
he’d come along
When they gathered round and
started talkin’
That’s when Billy would take me walkin’
Athroughthe backyard we’d go walkin’
Then he’d look into my eyes
Lord knows to my surprise
How well I remember
The look that was in his eyes
Stealin’ kisses from me on the sly
Takin’ time to make time
Tellin’ me that he’s all mine
Learnin’ from each other’s knowing
Lookin’ to see how much we’ve grown
And the only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was
Ooh, yes he was
The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was
Ooh, yes he was
Being good isn’t always easy
No matter how hard I try
When he started sweettalkin’ to me
He’d come and tell me everything is all right
He’d kiss and tell me everything is all right
Can I get away again tonight?
The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was
(Ooh...) Lord knows he was
Yes he was
15
The only one who could ever reach me
He was the sweettalking son of
a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
I kissed the son of a preacher man
The only one who could ever move me
The sweetlovin’
son of a preacher man
The only one who could ever groove me
Ahh, ooh, ahh....
HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN
There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it’s been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God, I know I’m one
My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gamblin’ man
Down in New Orleans
Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and trunk
And the only time he’s satisfied
Is when he’s on a trump
[Organ Solo]
Oh mother, tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun
Well, I got one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train
I’m goin’ back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain
Well, there is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it’s been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God, I know I’m one

LIKE A VIRGIN
I made it through the wilderness
Somehow I made it through
Didn’t know how lost I was
Until I found you
Oooh, oooh, oooh
You’re so fine and you’re mine
I’ll be yours ’till the end of time
’Cause you made me feel
Yeah, you made me feel
I’ve nothing to hide
I was beat incomplete
I’d been had, I was sad and blue
But you made me feel
Yeah, you made me feel
Shiny and new
[chorus]
Like a virgin
Touched for the very first time
Like a virgin
When your heart beats
Next to mine
[Chorus:]
Like a virgin
Touched for the very first time
Like a virgin
When your heart beats
Next to mine
Like a virgin, ooh, ooh
Like a virgin
Feels so good inside
When you hold me, and your heart
beats, and you love me
Gonna give you all my love, boy
My fear is fading fast
Been saving it all for you
’Cause only love can last
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Ooh, baby
Can’t you hear my heart beat
For the very first time?
You’re so fine and you’re mine
Make me strong, yeah you make
me bold
Oh your love thawed out
Yeah, your love thawed out
What was scared and cold
[chorus]
Like a virgin
Touched for the very first time
Like a virgin
When your heart beats
Next to mine

SÅNT ÄR LIVET
ANITA LINDBLOM
Sånt är livet, sånt är livet
Så mycket falskhet bor det här
Den man förlorar, vinner en annan
Så håll i vännen som du har kär
Han om våren, som en vårvind
Min kärlek fick han och allt han tog
Men så kom hösten, åhå den kärlek,
han svor var evig, bara dog
Sånt är livet, sånt är livet
Så mycket falskhet bor det här
Den man förlorar, vinner en annan
Så håll i vännen som du har kär
Han fick en annan, jag har sett dem.
Han verkar lycklig och hon är ung
Det jag har lärt mig, är just detta,
När hjärtat svider, sjung åh sjung
Sånt är livet, sånt är livet
Så mycket falskhet bor det här
Den man förlorar, vinner en annan
Så håll i vännen som du har kär
Vårt liv är fattigt, utan kärlek
Jag fick en annan som har mig kär
Hans gamla kärlek, har fått korgen
Hon undrar säkert vem jag är.
Sånt är livet, sånt är livet
Så mycket falskhet bor det här
Den man förlorar, vinner en annan
Så håll i vännen som du har kär
Sånt är livet, sånt är livet
Så mycket falskhet bor det här
Den man förlorar, vinner en annan
Så håll i vännen som du har kär
