I found a picture of you, oh oh oh oh
It hijacked my world at nights
From a place in the past
We've been cast out of, oh oh oh oh
Now we're back in the fight

Yes we're back on the chain gang
Oh back on the chain gang

A circumstance beyond our control, oh oh oh oh
The phone, the tv and the news of the world
Got in the house like a pigeon from hell, oh oh oh oh
Sand in our eyes, descended like flies

Yes we're back on the chain gang
Oh back on the chain gang
(currently morrissey)

I've been looking so long at these pictures of you
That I almost believe that they're real?
I've been living so long with my pictures of you
That I almost believe that the pictures are all I can feel?

Remembering you standing quiet in the rain
As I ran to your heart to be near
And we kissed as the sky fell in, Holding you close
How I always held close in your fear

Remembering you running soft through the night
You were bigger and brighter and wider than snow
And screamed at the make-believe, Screamed at the sky
And you finally found all your courage to let it all go

Remembering you fallen into my arms
Crying for the death of your heart
You were stone white, So delicate, Lost in the cold
You were always so lost in the dark

Remembering you how you used to be
Slow drowned, You were angels, So much more than everything
Hold for the last time then slip away quietly
Open my eyes, But I never see anything? ...

If only I'd thought of the right words
I could have held on to your heart
If only I'd thought of the right words
I wouldn't be breaking apart, All my pictures of you

Looking so long at these pictures of you
But I never hold on to your heart
Looking so long for the words to be true
But always just breaking apart, My pictures of you

There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more than to feel you deep in my heart
There was nothing in the world that I ever wanted more
Than to never feel the breaking apart, All my pictures of you

(The Cure)

Now there's a girl about town
I'd like to know
I'd like to slip away with you
And if you said you love me
How could I mind?
Is there another side to everything you do?
Take in the country air, you'll never win
Gentlemen take polaroids
They fall in love, they fall in love
Breathe life into me
Spin me around
And I'll just sit and wonder why
It's just a foreign town with a foreign mind
Why is everything so cut and dry?
The taste of country air, you'll never know
Gentlemen take polaroids
They fall in love, they fall in love
Take in the country air, you'll never win
(japan)

She falls into frame, With a professional pout
But the Polaroids ignite, Upon seeing their subject
And the aperture shuts, Too much exposure
Voyeur sucks into focus, Floodlit the glossy kiss-pit
But as emulsion drips down, The aperture shuts, Too much exposure

Come into this room, Come into this gloom
See the red light rinsing, Another shutterslut wincing
The sagging half-wit sister, Pretty, pretty picture
Of an ancient nipple shrinking, That kodak whore winking
'Til the aperture shuts, Too much exposure

(Siouxsie & The Banshees)

He's walking where I'm afraid I don't know
I see the firemen jumping from the windows
There's panic and I hear somebody scream
(aaaah)
He picks up useless paper
And puts it in my pocket
I'm trying very hard to keep my fingers clean
I can't remember tell me what's his name
And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep at home
And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep
The sun is laughing its another broken morning
I see a shadow and call out to try and warn him
He didn't seem to hear
Just turned away
The quiet fellow follows and points his fingers
Straight at you
He had to sacrifice his pride yes throw it all away
And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep at home
And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep
(madness)

She doesn't need money, she doesn't need diamonds
She's lookin' for pretty things
She doesn't need romance, she doesn't need finance
She's lookin' for rendezvous

But every time she's going down she never looks around
I'll wait and watch her with my lens
Until she brings the curtain down
There behind the keyhole, with my fisheye

I'm back in the darkroom, I'm covered in fixer
I'm making a photograph
I'll send her some postcards in glorious colour
I'm keeping the negatives

I'll form a letter from the news
With different type from different lines
I'll tell the world about her
I'll mail the People and the Times

Oooh! It'll be so scandalous for the both of them
But mainly her

She showed them her husband, he ordered a dozen
He thought they were fabulous
The one with the.....
The two of the....
And three of the.....

He sold them to Hefner, who put her in Playboy
He gave her a centrefold
I made a real blunder, she made it in movies
I made her a superstar
(10cc)

Me seh me love her fi mi virgin girl.
Me seh me love her fi mi virgin girl.
Jah know, me really love her so.
Jah know, me really love her so.

Me love fe see her wey she walk and pose,
Fancy rose to match her clothes.
Jah know, fi mi virgin girl.
Jah know, fi mi virgin girl.

Me love fe see her when her hair fulla pearl,
Anywhere she go people love her in the world,
She don' worship diamond, she don' worship pearl.
Jah know, fi mi virgin girl.
Jah know, fi mi virgin girl.

Well, you wonder why I always dress in black,
Why you never see bright colors on my back,
And why does my appearance seem to have a somber tone.
Well, there's a reason for the things that I have on.

I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down,
Livin' in the hopeless, hungry side of town,
I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime,
But is there because he's a victim of the times.

I wear the black for those who never read,
Or listened to the words that Jesus said,
About the road to happiness through love and charity,
Why, you'd think He's talking straight to you and me.

Well, we're doin' mighty fine, I do suppose,
In our streak of lightnin' cars and fancy clothes,
But just so we're reminded of the ones who are held back,
Up front there ought 'a be a Man In Black.

I wear it for the sick and lonely old,
For the reckless ones whose bad trip left them cold,
I wear the black in mournin' for the lives that could have been,
Each week we lose a hundred fine young men.

And, I wear it for the thousands who have died,
Believen' that the Lord was on their side,
I wear it for another hundred thousand who have died,
Believen' that we all were on their side.

Well, there's things that never will be right I know,
And things need changin' everywhere you go,
But 'til we start to make a move to make a few things right,
You'll never see me wear a suit of white.

Ah, I'd love to wear a rainbow every day,
And tell the world that everything's OK,
But I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back,
'Till things are brighter, I'm the Man In Black.

(Johnny Cash)

Celebrate the fact, That we've see the back, Of another black day

Celebrate the fact, That we've see the back, Of another black day

Black day ... Black day ...

I want to take you in my arms, Forgetting all I couldn't do today

Black day ...

The ink is black
The page is white
Together we learn to read and write
A child is black
A child is white
A whole world looks upon the sight
A beautiful sight
And now a child can understand
That this is the law of all the land
All the land
The world is black
The world is white
It turns by day and then by night
A child is black
A child is white
Together they grow to see the light
To see the light
(greyhound)

Beautiful flowers in your garden
But the most beautiful by far
The one growing wild in the garbage dump
Even here, even here we are, Even here, even here, we are

Song of the bird lives in the sky
But the most beautiful by far
Scream of the man who never learned to fly
Even here, even here, we are, Even here, even here, we are

Sun shines bright, it's a beautiful sight
But the most beautiful by far
Is the blind girl alone with the angel of the night
Even here, even here, we are, Even here, even here, we are

(Paul Westerberg)

You ain't no punk, you punk
You wanna talk about the real junk?
If I ever slip, I'll be banned 'cause I'm your garbageman
Well you can't dig me you can't dig nothin'
Do you want the real thing, or are you just talkin'?
Do you understand? I'm your garbageman
Yeah, somethin' from the garage and down the driveway
Now get outta your mind and get outta my way
Now do you understand? do you understand?
Louie, Louie, Louie, Louie the bird's the word and do you know why?
You gotta beat it with a stick
You gotta beat it 'til it's thick
You gotta live until you're dead
You gotta rock 'til you see red
Now do you understand?
Do you understand?
I'm a garbageman. aw, jump on and ride
(the cramps)

You gotta live, You gotta love
You gotta be somebody, You gotta shove
But it's so hard, it's really hard
Sometimes I feel like going down

You gotta eat, You gotta drink
You gotta feel something, You gotta worry
But it's so hard, it's really hard
Sometimes I feel like going down

But when it's good, It's really good
And, when I hold you in my arms, baby
Sometimes I feel like going down

You gotta run, You gotta hide
You gotta keep your woman satisfied
But it's so hard, it's really hard
Sometimes I feel like going down

(John Lennon)

I've been thinking it over
And I know just what to do
I've been thinking it over
And I know I just can't trust myself

I'm a Gypsy prince
Covered with diamonds and jewels
But then my lover exposes me
I know I'm just a damn fool

[CHORUS]

I give what I've got to give
I give what I need to live
I give what I've got to give
It's important if I wanna live
I wanna live
I want to live my life
I wanna live
I want to live my life

As I load my pistol
Of fine German steel
I never thought I'd be so down and out
Having my last meal
But I know I can do it
It just took a few years
As I execute my killer
The morning is near
(ramones)

I've been thinkin' it over, But I can't figure out how?
We're gonna make it together, I think it's all over now
I tried to give you some freedom, All that my heart would allow
But after seein' how you've done, I think it's all over now

(it's all over now) Since, I saw you yesterday
(it's all over now) Since, you looked at him that way
I've been thinkin' it over, Hoped we could make it somehow?
But after thinkin' it over, I know it's all over now

(it's all over now) Since I saw you yesterday
(it's all over now) Since you looked at him that way
I've been thinkin' it over, Hoped we could make it somehow?
But after thinkin' it over, I think it's all over now

(Charlie Rich - aka the Silver Fox)

Kicking up dust on an empty street
Waiting for John, Brian and Liz
I've already been stopped by the police
They're getting kicks, I'm feeling sick

And I'm thinking - thinking of the USA
Thinking of the USA
Dreaming of the USA

10.30 and the band is still not on the stage
The kids are getting restless but all have to be paid
I really think that I should not stay
I need a rest .I need a drink
Chorus. And I'm thinking - thinking of the USA
Thinking of the USA
Dreaming of the USA

I carried my thoughts for quite a time, It's so hard for me to keep 'em
If I put them down into this book, It might be easier to sleep then
There's a lot of tunes that'll never be sung, Because of faith and rules and changes
And now I'm singing one last song, In honor of a lady who could turn my head around

And I'm thinking about her ...
A'who-ooh whoa, and I'm thinking about her ...

Well, Caroline came and then she went, We just couldn't get together
And then I tried a lot of different scenes, I couldn't find anything better
All my troubles made me think of a time, When I had a woman named Pauline
But now I'm singing one last song, In honor of a lady who could turn my head around

And I'm thinking about her ...
A'who-ooh whoa, and I'm thinking about her ...

Rafine had a tender smiley face, Don't always make a lady
You can pull it all out of a makeup case, While your man's in the parlor waiting
I believe I found the perfect girl, But I didn't have the sense to keep her
And now I'm singing one last song, In honor of a lady who could turn my head around

And I'm thinking about her ...
A'who-ooh whoa, and I'm thinking about her ...
I'm thinking about her ... I'm thinking about her

(Hall & Oates)

As I sat down thinking for a while
My mind spread a thousand miles
Thinking about the sunshine
That dry my clothes on the line

Thinking about the rain
That goes pitter-patter on my window pane
And the sinful people
Who call my Lord's name in vain

My mind keeps going on, on and on and on
As I sing my little song
Thinking 'bout my girl who has left me and gone
(hugh mundell)

We must have been stone crazy, When we thought we were just friends?
'Cause I miss you, baby, And I've got those feelings again
I guess I'm all confused about you? Yes, I am, baby
I feel so in love, ohhh, baby, What can I do? ...

I've been thinking about you, I've been thinking about you
I've been thinking about you, I've been thinking about you

Suddenly we're strangers? I watch you walking away
She was my one temptation, Though I did not want her to stay
Deep down I'm still confused about you, Ohhh, yes I am, baby
I feel so in love, ohhh, baby, What can I do? ...

I've been thinking about you, I've been thinking about you
I've been thinking about you, I've been thinking about you

(Londonbeat)

Stop me, oh, stop me
Stop me if you think that you've heard this one before
Stop me, oh, stop me
Stop me if you think that you've heard this one before
Nothing's changed
I still love you, oh, I still love you
Only slightly, only slightly less than I used to, my love
I was delayed, I was way-laid
An emergency stop
I smelt the last ten seconds of life
I crashed down on the crossbar
And the pain was enough to make a shy, bald, Buddhist reflect
And plan a mass murder
Who said I'd lied to her?
(the smiths)

I was weak and I was blind
You know I never ever wanted to put our love on the light
You were right, and I was wrong
I should have listened to the words you said but I was too headstrong

So if you've heard this all before? ... Don't let me carry on no more ...

Stop me, stop me if you think you've heard this one, this one
Stop me, stop me if you think you've heard this one
Stop me, stop me if you think you've heard this one, this one
Stop me, stop me, stop me ...

You said I lied, you said I cried?
But I had to say something fast in case you threw me aside
I didn't know, I couldn't guess?
If I only would have known I never would have been in this mess

But if you've heard this all before? ... Don't let me carry on no more ...

Stop me, stop me if you think you've heard this one, this one
Stop me, stop me if you think you've heard this one
Stop me, stop me if you think you've heard this one, this one
Stop me, stop me, stop me ...

But if you've heard this all before? ... Don't let me carry on no more ...

Stop me, stop me if you think you've heard this one, this one
Stop me, stop me if you think you've heard this one
Stop me, stop me if you think you've heard this one, this one
Stop me if you think you've heard this one, this one ...

Well, she's my woman of gold
And she's not very old, ah, ah, ah
Well, she's my woman of gold
And she's not very old, ah, ah, ah
I don't mean to be bold, but may I hold your hand
Well, she ain't no witch
And I love the way she twitch, ah, ah, ah
Well, she ain't no witch
And I love the way she twitch, ah, ah, ah
I'm a laborer of love in my Persian gloves, ah, ah, ah
Well, she's faster than most
And she lives on the coast, ah, ah, ah
Well, she's faster than most
And she lives on the coast, ah, ah, ah
I'm her two penny prince and I give her hot love, ah, ah, ah
Take it down on me, mama
Ow, aw, ah
(t.rex)

She knows three years was too long to keep waitin
But somehow she was hopin she would change him
Still all his dreams turned to dust ...
And who can survive in a love without trust

If promises were gold she could pay off all the bills
And buy that pretty house sitting high on the hill
If she only had the money for every lie she's been told?
She'd be a rich woman now ... if promises were gold

By six o'clock he'll miss her rusty Chevy
Won't take long to notice dinner isn't ready
Then he'll call up everyone she knows
Sayin "I'll do her right if she'll only come home"

If promises were gold she could pay off all the bills
And buy that pretty house sitting high on the hill
If she only had the money for every lie she's been told?
She'd be a rich woman now ... if promises were gold

She didn't take much, Just the heart she once wore on her sleeve
She's leaving behind, Every line she tried to believe ...

If promises were gold she could pay off all the bills
And buy that pretty house sitting high on the hill
If she only had the money for every lie she's been told?
She'd be a rich woman now ... if promises were gold

(Stephanie Bentley)

Well she seemed all right by dawn's early light
Though she looked a little worried and weak.
She tried to pretend he wasn't drinkin' again
But Daddy'd left the proof on her cheek.
And I was only eight years old that summer
And I always seemed to be in the way
So I took myself down to the fair in town
On Independence Day.

Well, word gets around in a small, small town
They said he was a dangerous man
But Mama was proud and she stood her ground
But she knew she was on the losin' end.
Some folks whispered and some folks talked
But everybody looked the other way
And when time ran out there was no one about
On Independence Day.

Let freedom ring, let the white dove sing
Let the whole world know that today
Is a day of reckoning.
Let the weak be strong, let the right be wrong
Roll the stone away, let the guilty pay
It's Independence Day.

Well, she lit up the sky that fourth of July
By the time that the firemen come
They just put out the flames
And took down some names
And send me to the county home.
Now I ain't sayin' it's right or it's wrong
But maybe it's the only way.
Talk about your revolution
It's Independence Day.

Let freedom ring, let the white dove sing
Let the whole world know that today
Is a day of reckoning.
Let the weak be strong, let the right be wrong
Roll the stone away, let the guilty pay
It's Independence Day.

Roll the stone away
It's Independence Day

Jamaica getting their independence
And everyone is happy
So I will now tell the story
And please listen carefully
Manley called up a referendum
For you to make your own decision
So the people voted wisely, now everyone is happy
That there's no more federation

Now, independence is good for the young and the old
Also for me and you
Yes, independence is great for the whole population
Including Yorkshirean too
So I believe that if we try our best
It will be a great success
So let us live in unity
For progress and prosperity
Let's go
Independent Jamaica

State of life, may I live? May I love? ...
Coming out the sky, I name me a name, Coming out, silver word, but what it is?
It is the very nature of the sound, the game

Siamese, Indonese to Tibet, treat the life as a game, if you please, hey
Coming up, Carabi, this sense of freedom derives from a mediative state
Movin' on, believe that's it, call it magic, Third world, it is, I only guessed it

Shablam idi, shablam ida, Shablam idi, shablam ida, Shablam idi, shablam ida

Shot to the soul - the flame of Oroladin
The essence of the word, The state of independence

Sounds like a signal from you ...
Bring me to meet your sound, And I will bring you to my heart
Love, like a signal, you call, Touching my body, my soul ...
Bring to me, you to meet me here

Home be the temple of your heart, Home be the body of your love
Just like holy water to my lips, hey, hey
Yes, I do know how I survive, Yes, I do know why I'm alive
To love and be with you, Day by day, by day, by day

Say-aye yaya ohhh, yayah yaya ohhh, be the sound of higher love today
Time, time again, it is said, We will hear, we will see
See it all, in his wisdom, hear, His truth will abound the land
This truth will abound the land ...
This state of independence shall be, This state of independence shall be

Time, time again, it is said, We will hear, we will see
See it all, in his wisdom, hear, His truth will abound the land
This truth will abound the land ...
This state of independence shall be, This state of independence shall be
This state of independence shall be, This state of independence shall be
This state of independence shall be, This state of independence shall be

(Jon and Vangelis)

We carried you in our arms
On Independence Day.
Now you'd throw us all aside
And put us all away.
Oh, what dear daughter 'neath the sun
Could treat a father so:
To wait upon him hand and foot
Yet always tell him "No"?

Tears of rage, tears of grief
Why am I the one who must be the thief?
Come to me now, you know
We're so alone
And life is brief.

It was all very painless
When you ran out to receive
All that false instruction,
Which we never could believe.
And now the heart is filled with gold
As if it was a purse.
But oh, what kind of love is this
Which goes from bad to worse?

Tears of rage, tears of grief
Why am I the one who must be the thief?
Come to me now, you know
We're so alone
And life is brief.

We pointed you the way to go
And scratched your name in sand,
Though you just thought it was nothing more
Than a place for you to stand.
I want you to know that while we watched
You discover no-one would be true,
That I myself was among the ones who thought
It was just a childish thing to do.

Tears of rage, tears of grief
Why am I the one who must be the thief ?
Come to me now, you know
We're so alone
And life is brief.

Indie Cindy
Be in love with me
I beg for you to carry me
Mixed messages from Sir Naff
Please authenticate
Just to be sure that you’re a sap
Set for stun automatica
Crap is their operative
Locomotive of the longest death
There goes Indie Cindy whose
Sails were black when it was windy
We offed ourselves in a lover’s pact
We threw ourselves into the sea
Well looksie what the wind washed back
As we follow the bouncing ball
They call this dance the washed up crawl

Rubber ball, I come bouncin' back to you
Rubber ball, I come bouncin' back to you

I'm like a rubber ball, Baby, that's all that I am to you
Just a rubber ball, 'Cause you think you can be true to two
You bounce my heart around (you don't even put her down)
And like a rubber ball, I come bouncin' back to you
Rubber ball, I come bouncin' back to you

If you stretch my love till it's thin enough to tear
I'll just stretch my arms to reach you anywhere
And like a rubber ball, I'll come bouncin' back to you
Rubber ball, I'll come bouncin' back to you

You bounce my heart around (you don't even put her down)
And like a rubber ball, I come bouncin' back to you
Rubber ball, I come bouncin' back to you
(Bouncy-bouncy, bouncy-bouncy, Bouncy-bouncy, bouncy-bouncy)

I'm like a rubber band, When on my shoulder you do tap
Just a rubber band, Because my heartstrings, they just snap
You go 'n squeeze me till I'm all aflame, (She calls you by some other guy's name)
But like a rubber ball, I come bouncin' back to you

Rubber ball, I come bouncin' back to you
Rubber ball, I'll come bouncin' back to you

Rubber ball, I'll come bouncin' back to you
Rubber ball, I'll come bouncin' back to you

(Bobby Vee)

I'm the leader of the rubber band
It's the finest band in all the land
And isn't it grand being the only band in the land
To play rubber band

Just like margarine our fame is spreading

I'd like to see how far the band can go

I'm the leader of the rubber band
It's the finest band in all the land
And isn't it grand being the only band in the land
To play rubber band

We're the members of the rubber band
It's the finest band in all the land
And isn't it grand being the only band in the land
To play rubber band

(Lal and Mike Waterson)

Shoot, bang, no rhyme (should I know why)
I'm in love with you
Shoot back, just a fight (should I justify)
Out of the blue
I'm the Rubberbandman with the rubberman touch
Out of the blue, love is such
Rubberband man with the rubberband pack
You're the one, you'll get me back on track
Shoot, bang, no rhyme (should I know why)
I'm in love with you
Shoot back, just a fight (should I justify)
Out of the blue
Everybody told me what they shouldn't do
I haven't got the problem
Haven't got the clue
I'm doing what I'm feeling and I'm doing fine
The Rubberbandman, I don't mind
(yello)

So we waved our hands as we marched along
And the people smiled as we sang our song
And the world was saved as they listened to the band
And the Banner-Man held the banner high
He was ten feet tall and he touched the sky
And I wish that I could be a Banner-Man

Glory, glory, glory
Listen to the band
Sing the same old story
Ain't it something grand?
To be good as you can
Like a Banner-Man

And the drums went, boom as the cornets play
And the tuba, "Umba'' "D", all the way
And the kids and the dogs were laughing as they ran
And the Banner-Man held the banner high
With an Allelujah in his eye
And I wish that I could be a Banner-Man

Glory, glory, glory
Listen to the band
Sing the same old story
Ain't it something grand?
To be good as you can
Like a Banner-Man

So we reached the square, on the top of the hill
And the music stopped and we stood still
And a few were saved and the people said Amen
Then we all got up and we formed a queue
And the drums went, bang as the trumpets blew
And we marched back down into the town again

(Blue Mink)

Wo yoy
Wo yoy, yoy, yoy

We all gonna sing the same song
We all gonna sing the same song
We all gonna sing the same song

Or whether you're a Bobo
Or whether you're an Orthodox
Or whether you're a Binghi Natty Dread
Or whether you're ah Twelve Tribes of Israel

We all gonna sing the same song
We all gonna jam the same jam, uh
We all gonna chuck the same chuck

So if you argue, fuss and fight (that's not right)
We're giving hypocrites the right to say
That we can't unite (my God)
It we dignify
(israel vibration)

Buffalo soldier, Dreadlock Rasta
There was a Buffalo soldier in the heart of America
Stolen from Africa, brought to America
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival

I mean it, when I analyze these things, To me it makes a lot of sense
How the Dreadlock Rasta was the Buffalo soldier
And he was taken from Africa, brought to America
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival

Said he was a Buffalo soldier, Dreadlock Rasta
Buffalo soldier in the heart of America
If you know your history, Then you would know where you coming from
Then you wouldn't have to ask me, Who the 'eck do I think I am?!

I'm just a Buffalo soldier in the heart of America
Stolen from Africa, brought to America
Said he was fighting on arrival, fighting for survival
Said he was a Buffalo soldier, win the war for America

Said he was a ...
woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy ... Woy yoy yoy yoy, yoy yoy-yoy yoy!
Woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy ... Woy yoy yoy yoy, yoy yoy-yoy yoy!

Buffalo soldier troddin' through the land, wo-ho-ooh!
Take him on a ranch, then make him wanna hand
Troddin' through the land, yea-hea, yea-ea

Said he was a Buffalo soldier, win the war for America
Buffalo soldier, Dreadlock Rasta
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival
Driven from the mainland to the heart of the Caribbean

Saying, woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy ... Woy yoy yoy yoy, yoy yoy-yoy yoy!
Woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy ... Woy yoy yoy yoy, yoy yoy-yoy yoy!

Troddin' through San Juan in the arms of America;
Troddin' through Jamaica, a Buffalo soldier
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival
Buffalo soldier, Dreadlock Rasta

Woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy ... Woy yoy yoy yoy, yoy yoy-yoy yoy!
Woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy ... Woy yoy yoy yoy, yoy yoy-yoy yoy!

(Bob Marley & The Wailers)

Gigolo, Huh, sukka?
Gigolo. Gigolo, Huh, sukka?
Who's looking good today?
Who's looking good in every way?
No style rookie
You better watch don't mess with me
No moneyman can win my love
It's sweetness that I'm thinking of
We always hang in a Buffalo Stance
We do the dive every time we dance
I'll give you love baby not romance
I'll make a move nothing left to chance
So don't you get fresh with me
(neneh cherry)

Just a gigolo everywhere I go
People know the part, I'm playing
Paid for every dance, selling each romance
Every night some heart betraying

There will come a day
Youth will pass away
Then what will they say about me

When the end comes I know
They'll say just a gigolo
As life goes on without me

'Cause I ain't got nobody
Nobody nobody cares for me
I'm so sad and lonely
Sad and lonely sad and lonely

Won't some sweet mama
Come and take a chance with me
Cause I ain't so bad

Get along with me babe
Been singin' love songs all of the time
Even only be, honey only, only be
Bop bozadee bozadee bop zitty bop

I ain't got nobody 'cept love songs in love
Hummala bebhuhla zeebuhla boobuhla
Hummala bebhuhla zeebuhla bop

I ain't got nobody, nobody
Nobody cares for me, nobody, nobody
I'm so sad and lonely
Sad and lonely, sad and lonely

Won't some sweet mama come
And take a chance with me
'Cause I ain't so bad

Get along with me babe
Been singin' love songs, all of the time
Even only be, honey only, only be

(Louis Prima)

Here we go
Round & round the floor,
Together in time.
Here we sit:
It looks like this is it,
Whatever this time.
It's makin' no sense
But we'll stay here till the end,
Whatever this time.

They shoot horses, don't they?
They shoot horses, don't they?
They shoot horses, don't they?

Carousel,
The crazy wishing well
Whenever you fall.
It seems so long,
Just like a marathon:
The belle of the ball.
It's makin' no sense
But we'll stay here till the end,
Whatever this time.

They shoot horses, don't they?
They shoot horses, don't they?
They shoot horses, don't they?

(Racing Cars)

When suddenly Johnny gets the feeling he's being surrounded by
Horses, horses, horses, horses
Coming in in all directions
White shining, silver studs with their nose in flames,
He saw horses, horses, horses, horses, horses, horses, horses, horses.
Do you know how to pony like bony maroney
Do you know how to twist, well it goes like this, it goes like this
Baby mash potato, do the alligator, do the alligator
And you twist the twister like your baby sister
I want your baby sister, give me your baby sister, dig your baby sister
Rise up on her knees, do the sweet pea, do the sweet pee pee,
Roll down on her back, got to lose control, got to lose control,
Got to lose control and then you take control,
Then you're rolled down on your back and you like it like that,
Like it like that, like it like that, like it like that,
Then you do the watusi, yeah do the watusi
(patti smith)

All the tired horses in the sun
How’m I supposed to get any ridin’ done? Hmm

(Bob Dylan)

We will fly way up high
Where the cold wind blows
Or in the sun, laughing and having fun
With the people that she knows
And if the situation should keep us separated
You know the world won't fall apart
And you will free the beautiful bird
That's caught inside your heart

Can't you hear her?
Oh she cries so loud
Casts her wild note
Over water and cloud

That's the way it's gonna be, little darlin'
We'll be riding on the horses, yeah
Way up in the sky, little darlin'
And if you fall I'll pick you up, pick you up

You will grow, and until you go
I'll be right there by your side
And even then, whisper the wind
And she will carry up your ride
I hear all the people of the world
In a little bird's lonely cry
See them trying every way they know how
To make their spirits fly

Can't you see him?
He's down on the ground
He has a broken wing
Looking all around

That's the way it's gonna be, little darlin'
You'll be riding on the horses, yeah
Way up in the sky, little darlin'
And if you fall I'll pick you up, pick you up

Don't worry 'bout a thing little girl
Because I was young myself not so long ago
And when I was young, when I was young
And when I was young, oh I was a wild, wild one.

(Rickie Lee Jones)

There's a message floatin' in the air.
Crazy horses ridin' everywhere.
It's a warning, it's in every tongue.
Gotta stop them crazy horses on the run.
What a show, there they go smokin' up the sky, yeah.
Crazy horses all got riders, and they're you and I.
Crazy horses
Crazy horses
Crazy horses

Never stop and they never die.
They just keep on puffin' how they multiply.
Crazy horses, will they never halt?
If they keep on movin' then it's all our fault.
What a show, there they go smokin' up the sky, yeah.
Crazy horses all got riders, and they're you and I.
Crazy horses
Crazy horses
Crazy horses
(the osmodious brothers)

Hush-a-bye
Don't you cry
Go to sleepy little baby
Go to sleepy little baby
When you wake
You shall have
All the pretty little horsies
All the pretty little horsies

Blacks and bays
Dapples and greys
All the pretty little horsies

Way down yonder
In the meadow
Lies a poor little lamby
Bees and butterflies
Flitting round his eyes
Poor little thing is crying
"Mammy"

Go to sleep
Don't you cry
Rest your head upon the clover
Rest your head upon the clover
In your dreams
You shall ride
Whilst your mammy's watching over

Blacks and bays
Dapples and greys
All the pretty little horsies

All the pretty little horsies
All the pretty little horsies
All the pretty little horsies

Thomas Hampson sings the Copland arrangement:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PeoP4gM...

Well they were given the grapes that go ripe in the sun
That loosen the screws at the back of the tongue
But they told no one where they had begun
Four horsemen
They were given all the foods of vanity
And all the instant promises of immortality
But they bit the dust screamin' insanity!
Four horsemen

One was over the edge, one was over the cliff
One was lickin' 'em dry with a bloody great spliff
When they picked up the hiker he didn't want the lift
From the horsemen

But you!
You're not searching, are you now?
You're not looking anyhow
You're never gonna ride that lonely mile
Or put yourself up on trial
Oh, you told me how your life was so bad
An' I agree that it does seem sad
But that's the price that you gotta pay
If you're lazing all around all day
Four horsemen coming right through
Four horsemen and they're pissing by you
They make you look like you're wearing a truss
Four horsemen and it's gonna be us
(the clash)

Should've never made eye contact, Should've been a heart of stone
When you stopped me to say hello ...
Would've been twice as easy to just say no ...
'Cause I don't want to lose at love again

But as a couple we were quite handsome
And the moon was out that night
So we let our hearts go dancing
If that thing is missing in my life

There's not enough romance in this world ...
There's not enough romance in this world ...
There's too many people thinking only of themselves
You gotta give love for it's return

Want to sing about new lovers, Stand up against the odds
Nothing can change a thing that strong
And myself, I know my emotions, I got my love to share
And, when you need something so tender, What you're looking for is so rare

There's not enough romance in this world ...
There's not enough romance in this world ...
You gotta believe in what your heart tells you is right
And I'm here to say that I believe in love

We take a lot of chances playing some foolish games
But that's the only price that you gotta pay
We gotta keep believing hungry hearts run free
Everybody needs a good loving, It's anything you want it to be

There's too many people thinking only of themselves
You gotta give love for it's return
There's not enough romance in this world ...
There's not enough romance in this world ...

You gotta believe in what your heart tells you is right
And I'm here to say that I believe in love
There's not enough romance in this world ...
There's not enough romance in this world ...

(Tina Turner)

Slow down, we've got time left to be lazy
All the kids have bloomed from babies into flowers in our eyes.
We've got five good years left to spend out in the garden
I don't care to beg your pardon,
We should live until we die.

We were barely 18 when we'd crossed collective hearts.
It was cold, but it got warm when you'd barely crossed my eye.
And then you turned, put out your hand,
And you asked me to dance.
I knew nothing of romance, but it was love at second sight.

I swear when I grow up, I won't just buy you a rose.
I will buy the flower shop, and you will never be lonely.
Even if the sun stops waking up over the fields
I will not leave, I will not leave 'till it's our time.
So just take my hand, you know that I will never leave your side.

It was the winter of '86, and all the fields had frozen over.
So we moved to Arizona to save our only son
And now he's turning to a man, although he thinks just like his mother,
He believes we're all just lovers he sees hope in everyone.

And even though she moved away,
We always get calls from our daughter.
She has eyes just like her father's
They are blue when skies are grey
And just like him, she never stops,
Never takes the day for granted,
Works for everything that's handed to her,
Never once complains.

You think that I nearly lost you
When the doctors tried to take you away.
But like the night you took my hand beside the fire
Thirty years ago to this day
You swore you'd be here 'til we decide that it's our time
Well it's not time, you've never quit in all your life.
So just take my hand, you know that I'll never leave your side.
You're the love of my life, you know that I'll never leave your side.

You come home from work and you kiss me on the eye
You curse the dogs, you say that I should never feed them what is ours.
So we move out to the garden and look at everything we've grown.
And now the kids are coming home
I'll set the table
You can make the fire.


(Fun)
