    Cat Stevens
    The Foreigner Suite

    There are no words, I can use
    Because the meaning still leaves for you to choose
    And I couldn't stand to let them be abused, by you.

    Dreams I had just last night
    Made me scared, white with fright
    But I'm over to that Sunnyside Road
    Over to that Sunnyside Road

    Fortunes come and fortunes go
    But things get better babe, that's one thing I know
    And I'm over to that Sunnyside Road
    Over to that Sunnyside Road

    I have a friend that I have met
    Who gives me love and a certain respect
    Just a little respect, everybody needs just a little respect
    That means you. . .you...

    And in a little while our love will spread
    To you
    Ain't no matter who inside this world you know
    There'll he someone who will love you just for who you are
    Really are

    Dreams I had just last night
    Made me worried to face up to the light
    But I'm over to that Sunnyside Road
    Over to that Sunnyside Road

    Come on now it's freedom calling
    Come on over and find yourself
    Come on now it's freedom calling
    Come on in and remind yourself

    Oh darling, you see my face
    But it's in my heart that's where it's taking place
    And I couldn't stand to let it go to waste
    Can you ...

    Oh love, sweet blue love
    No man can ever get enough
    But maybe one day we'll all die in love
    Will you . .. Oh love, sweet love, my... love

    Oh babe, understand
    Take my love that's all I have at hand
    Please say you will ... Don't say you can't
    Oh Will you Will you Will you

    The moment you walked inside my door
    I knew' that I need not look no more
    I've seen many other girls before, ah but darling
    Heaven must've programmed you

    The moment you fell inside my dreams
    I realised all I had not seen
    I've seen many other girls before, ah hot darling
    Heaven must've programmed you

    You can live in the largest house
    And eleven apartments too
    Run your own private plane
    And a boat in Malibu

    But 'till you know' deep down what inside you really need
    Well I love you baby, Ooh my dear
    And I think about you sometimes
    But when you're with me boy it chokes my mind

    Come on now it's freedom calling
    Come on over and find yourself
    Come on now it's freedom calling
    Come on in and remind yourself

    Man must fight for freedom sure that's what most other people would say
    Look for a body to lead them but there's too many to lead them away.
    Why wait until it's your time to die before you learn what you were born to do'?
    Come on now it's freedom calling but there's only one freedom for you.
    Love, love boy...
    And I can't wait to be with you tomorrow night.

    Won't you give me your word that you won't laugh
    Cos you've been a saving grace to me
    And I'd hate to face a day without you around
    My life would be without sound

    Love, love, love, love must've made you on a Sunday
    Cos you taste to me as good as God made honey taste babe
    And the sky all glistens with gold
    When you're talking to me
    And the whirling wind turns to song
    Why it sets my soul free

    Love, love. love. love must've made you on a Sunday

    There are no words. I can use
    Because the meaning still leaves for you to choose
    And I couldn't stand to let them be abused, by you
    Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

    He also hates Texans and Australians, he does diversify." ~ Braindead

      Dusty Springfield - You Don't Have To Say You Love Me

      When I said I needed you
      You said you would always stay
      It wasn't me who changed but you
      And now you've gone away

      Don't you see
      That now you've gone
      And I'm left here on my own
      That I have to follow you
      And beg you to come home

      You don't have to say you love me
      Just be close at hand
      You don't have to stay forever
      I will understand
      Believe me, believe me
      I can't help but love you
      But believe me I'll never tie you down

      Left alone with just a memory
      Life seems dead and so unreal
      All that's left is loneliness
      There's nothing left to feel

      You don't have to say you love me
      Just be close at hand
      You don't have to stay forever
      I will understand
      Believe me...

        Tracy Chapman - Baby Can I Hold You

        Sorry
        Is all that you can't say
        Years gone by and still
        Words don't come easily
        Like sorry, like sorry

        Forgive me
        Is all that you can't say
        Years gone by and still
        Words don't come easily
        Like forgive me, forgive me

        But you can say baby
        Baby can I hold you tonight
        Maybe if I told you the right words
        At the right time
        You'd be mine

        I love you
        Is all that you can't say
        Years gone by and still
        Words don't come easily
        Like I love you, I love you

        But you can say baby
        Baby can I hold you tonight
        Maybe if I told you the right words
        At the right time
        You'd be mine

          The Stooges - Search And Destroy

          I'm a street walking cheetah with a heart full of napalm

          I am the world's forgotten boy
          The one who searches and destroys

          Somebody gotta save my soul!
          Baby detonate for me!

          Look out honey, 'cause i'm using technology
          Ain't got time to make no apology
          Soul radiation in the dead of night
          Love in the middle of a fire fight

          Honey gotta strike me blind!
          Somebody gotta save my soul!
          Baby penerate my mind!

          And i'm the world's forgotten boy
          The one who's searchin', searchin' to destroy
          And honey i'm the world's forgotten boy
          The one who's searchin', only to destroy

          Look out honey, 'cause i'm using technology
          Ain't got time to make no apology
          Soul radiation in the dead of night
          Love in the middle of a fire fight

          Honey gotta strike me blind!
          Somebody gotta save my soul!
          Baby penerate my mind!

          Well i'm the world's forgotten boy
          The one who's searchin', searchin' to destroy
          And honey i'm the world's forgotten boy
          The one who's searchin', searchin' to destroy

          Forgotten boy
          Forgotten boy
          Forgotten boy
          Said hey
          Forgotten boy
          Said hey

              if it had lyrics, i'd post Chopin's "Raindrop Prelude"

              Hard Habit to BReak by CHicago

              I guess I thought you'd be here forever
              Another illusion I chose to create
              You don't know what ya got until it's gone
              And I found out just a little too late

              I was acting as if you were lucky to have me
              Doin' you a favor, I hardly knew you were there
              But then you were gone and it was all wrong
              Had no idea how much I cared

              Chorus:
              Now being without you
              Takes a lot of getting used to
              Should learn to live with it
              But I don't want to
              Living without you
              Is all a big mistake
              Instead of getting easier
              It's the hardest thing to take
              I'm addicted to ya babe
              You're a hard habit to break

              You found someone else you had every reason
              You know I can't blame you for runnin' to him
              Two people together but living alone
              I was spreading my love too thin

              After all of these years
              I'm still tryin' to shake it
              Doin' much better, they say that it just takes time
              But deep in the night it's an endless flight
              I can't get ya out of my mind

              Being without you
              Takes a lot of getting used to
              Should learn to live with it
              I don't want to
              Being without you
              Is all a big mistake
              Instead of getting any easier
              It's the hardest thing to take
              I'm addicted to you
              You're a hard habit to break


              19th Nervous Breakdown by THe ROlling Stones

              You're the kind of person you meet at certain dismal, dull affairs
              Center of a crowd, talking much too loud, running up and down the stairs
              Well, it seems to me that you have seen too much in too few years
              And though you've tried you just can't hide your eyes are edged with tears

              You better stop, look around
              Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes
              Here comes your nineteenth nervous breakdown

              When you were a child you were a treated kind
              Byt you were never brought up right
              You were always spoiled with a thousand toys but still you cried all night
              Your mother who neglected you owes a million dollars tax
              And your father's still perfecting ways of making ceiling wax

              You better stop, look around
              Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes
              Here comes your nineteenth nervous breakdown
              Oh, who's to blame, that girl's just insane
              Well, nothing I do don't seem to work
              It only seems to make the matters worse. Oh, please

              You were still in school when you had that fool who really messed your mind
              And after that you turned your back on treating people kind
              On our first trip I tried so hard to rearrange your mind
              But after awhile I realized you were disarranging mine

              You better stop, look around
              Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes
              Here comes your nineteenth nervous breakdown
              Oh, who's to blame, that girl's just insane
              Well, nothing I do don't seem to work
              It only seems to make the matters worse. Oh, please

              When you were a child you were treated kind
              But you were never brought up right
              You were always spoiled with a thousand toys but still you cried all night
              Your mother who neglected you owes a million dollars tax
              And you father's still perfecting ways of making sealing wax

              You better stop, look around
              Here it comes, here comes your nineteenth nervous breakdown

              Mr. President by Randy Newman

              We've taken all you've given
              But it's gettin' hard to make a livin'
              Mr. President have pity on the working man

              We're not asking you to love us
              You may place yourself high above us
              Mr. President have pity on the working man

              I know it may sound funny
              But people ev'ry where are runnin' out of money
              We just can't make it by ourself

              It is cold and the wind is blowing
              We need something to keep us gong
              Mr. President have pity on the working man

              Maybe you've cheated
              Maybe you've lied
              Maybe you have finally lost your mind
              Maybe you're only thinking 'bout yourself

              Too late to run. Too late to cry now
              The time has come for us to say good-bye now
              Mr. President have pity on the working man
              Mr. President have pity on the working man

                pinocchio

                lyrics by-Ned Washington
                ----------------------------------


                Give a Little Whistle


                When you get in trouble and you don't know right from wrong
                Give a little whistle! Give a little whistle!
                When you meet temptation and the urge is very strong
                Give a little whistle! Give a little whistle!

                Not just a little squeak, pucker up and blow
                And if your whistle's weak, yell, "Jiminy Cricket!"
                Right!

                Take the straight and narrow path
                And if you start to slide
                Give a little whistle! Give a little whistle!
                And always let your conscience be your guide
                -----------------------------------------------------

                when you wish upon a star


                When you wish upon a star
                Makes no difference who you are
                Anything your heart desires
                Will come to you

                If your heart is in your dream
                No request is too extreme
                When you wish upon a star
                As dreamers do

                Fate is kind
                She brings to those to love
                The sweet fulfillment of
                Their secret longing

                Like a bolt out of the blue
                Fate steps in and sees you through
                When you wish upon a star
                Your dreams come true
                "If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun." -Katherine Hepburn

                  I GOT STONED & I MISSED IT

                  I was sitting in my basement.
                  I just rolled myself a taste
                  Of something green and gold and glorious
                  To get me through the day.
                  Then my friend yelled through the transom
                  "Grab your coat and get your hat son,
                  There's a nut down on the corner,
                  Givin' dollar bills away"

                  But I laid around a bit
                  Then I had another hit.
                  Then I rolled myself a bauma.
                  Then I thought about my mama.
                  Then I fooled around, played around
                  jacked around a while and then

                  I got stoned and I missed it.
                  I got stoned and I missed it.
                  I got stoned and it rolled right by.
                  I got stoned and I missed it.
                  I got stoned and I missed it.
                  I got stoned... oh me... oh my.

                  It took seven months of urgin'
                  Just to get that local virgin
                  With the sweet face
                  Up to my place
                  To fool around a bit.
                  Next day she woke up rosy,
                  And she snuggled up so cozy.
                  When she asked me how I liked it,
                  Lord it hurts me to admit,

                  I got stoned and I missed it.
                  I got stoned and I missed it.
                  I got stoned and it rolled right by.
                  I got stoned and I missed it.
                  I got stoned and I missed it.
                  I got stoned... oh me... oh my.

                  I'm makin' no excuses
                  For the many things I uses
                  Just to sweeten up my relationships
                  And brighten up my day.
                  When my earthly race is over
                  And I'm ready for the clover
                  And they ask me how my life has been
                  I guess I'll have to say,

                  I got stoned and I missed it.
                  I got stoned and I missed it.
                  I got stoned and it rolled right by.
                  I got stoned and I missed it.
                  I got stoned and I missed it.
                  I got stoned... oh me... oh my.
                  Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

                    That's What I think by Cyni Lauper

                    sometimes i think
                    things are overwhelming
                    sometimes i think
                    i dont know what i'll do
                    but i forget about the world
                    and everything around me
                    thats what i think
                    when i think about you

                    the streets are filled
                    with too many babies
                    black air in the sky of of blue
                    people pass by
                    no life in their eyes
                    the concrete jungles
                    really going crazy

                    sometimes i think
                    things are overwhelming.....

                    the rent is due
                    and the pockets are empty
                    people ask machines
                    for the trust
                    no crystal ball
                    can help see it all
                    but where we gonna find
                    the dreams to feed the babies

                    baby life goes on
                    thats what people say
                    but im nowhere
                    if you go away
                    i'd just be looking
                    for a brighter day

                    sometimes i think
                    things are overwhelming......
                    what can ido
                    forget about the world
                    and everything around me
                    thats what i think
                    when i think about you
                    "Speaking on the subject of conformity: This rotting concept of the unfathomable nostril mystifies the fuming crotch of my being!!! Stop with the mooing you damned chihuahua!!! Ganglia!! Rats eat babies!" ~ happy noodle boy

                      Lene Marlin - Unforgivable Sinner

                      Kinda lose your sense of time
                      Cos the days no matter no more
                      All the feelings that you hide
                      Gonna tear you up inside
                      You hope she knows you tried

                      Follows you around all day
                      And you wake up soaking wet
                      Cos between this world and eternity
                      There is a face you hope to see

                      You know where you sent her
                      You should know where you are
                      You're trying to ease off
                      But you know you won't get far
                      And now she's up there
                      Sings like an angel
                      But you can't hear those words
                      And now she'd up there
                      Sings like an angel
                      Unforgivable sinner

                      You've been walking around in tears
                      No answers are there to get
                      You won't ever be the same
                      Someone cries and you're to blame

                      Struggling with a fight inside
                      Sorrow you'll defeat
                      The picture you see
                      It won't disappear
                      Not the unpleasant dreams
                      Or the voice you hear

                      You know where you sent her
                      You should know where you are
                      You're trying to ease off
                      But you know you won't get far
                      And now she's up there
                      Sings like an angel
                      But you can't hear those words
                      And now she'd up there
                      Sings like an angel
                      Unforgivable sinner

                      Bridge

                      Maybe one time lost
                      But now you're found
                      Stand right up before you hit the ground
                      Maybe one time lost
                      But now you're found
                      Stand right up before you hit the ground again

                      You know where you sent her
                      You should know where you are
                      You're trying to ease off
                      But you know you won't get far
                      And now she's up there
                      Sings like an angel
                      But you can't hear those words
                      And now she'd up there
                      Sings like an angel
                      Unforgivable sinner...

                        JUST LIKE A WOMAN
                        Bob Dylan

                        Nobody feels any pain
                        Tonight as I stand here in the rain.
                        Everybody knows that baby's got new clothes,
                        But lately I see her ribbons and her bows
                        Have fallen from her curls.

                        She takes just like a woman.
                        She makes love just like a woman.
                        And then she aches just like a woman.
                        But she breaks just like a little girl.

                        Queen Mary, she's my friend.
                        Yes I believe I'll go see her again.
                        Nobody has to guess that baby can't be blessed
                        'Till she finally sees that she's like all the rest
                        With her fog (?), her amphetamines, and her pearls.

                        She takes just like a woman.
                        She makes love just like a woman.
                        And then she aches just like a woman.
                        But she breaks just like a little girl.

                        (break
                        It raining at first, and I was dying there of thirst,
                        So I came in here.
                        And your long-time curse hurts, but what's worse
                        Is this pain in here.
                        I can't stay in here.
                        Ain't it clear...

                        That I just can't fit.
                        I believe it's time for us to quit.
                        But when we met again and are introduced as friends,
                        Please don't let on that you knew me when
                        I was hungry, and it was your world.

                        You take just like a woman.
                        You make love just like a woman.
                        And then you ache just like a woman.
                        But you break just like a little girl.
                        Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

                          i think i little mirth is in order...


                          Weird Al, You Don't Love Me Anymore.


                          We've been together for so very long.
                          But now things are changing, oh I wonder what's wrong?
                          Seems you don't want me around.
                          The passion is gone and the flame's died down.
                          I guess I lost a little bit of self-esteem,
                          That time that you made it with the whole hockey team.
                          You used to think I was nice,
                          Now, you tell all your friends that I'm the anti-christ.

                          Oh, why did you disconnect the brakes on my car?
                          That kind of thing is hard to ignore.
                          Got a funny feeling you don't love me anymore.

                          I knew that we were having problems when,
                          You put those piranhas in my bathtub again.
                          You're still the light of my life.
                          Oh, darlin', I'm beggin', won't you put down that knife?

                          You know I even think it's kinda cute, the way,
                          You poison my coffee just a little each day.
                          I still remember the way that you laughed,
                          When you pushed me down the elevator shaft.

                          Oh, if you don't mind me askin',
                          What's this poisonous cobra doing in my underwear drawer?
                          Sometimes I get to thinking, you don't love me anymore.

                          You slammed my face down on the barbecue grill.
                          Now my scars are all healing but my heart never will.
                          You set my house on fire.
                          You pulled out my chest-hairs with an old pair of pliers.

                          Oh, you think I'm ugly and you say I'm cheap.
                          You shaved off my eyebrows while I was asleep.
                          You drilled a hole in my head.
                          Then you dumped me in a drainage ditch and left me for dead.

                          Oh, you know this really isn't like you at all.
                          You never acted this way before.
                          Honey, something tells me you don't love me anymore.
                          Oh no no.
                          Got a funny feeling you don't love me anymore.



                          Tom T-Bone Stankus, Exisential Blues.

                          Hey, man, what are you really into, huh?

                          The elusive butterfly has just tip-toed past my door.
                          My buddy likes the Yankees; she says "Hey, T-Bone, what's the score?"
                          And I say, "Well, Reggie got 1 in 1 in 3, and 25 is 6 to 4."
                          Is the left-wing really pinko? Colonel Sanders, what a bore!
                          You ask so many questions, what answers should I choose?
                          Is this schizoid paranoia, or just existential blues?

                          The amenities of life have been chasing my soul,
                          And my mind is transcendental, and I'm losing all control,
                          And I'm sinking in the quagmire of illusions and Thoreau,
                          I cry out, "My name is T-Bone!" as a hound dog digs a hole.
                          You ask so many questions, what answers should I choose?
                          Is this Plato's heebie-jeebies, or just existential blues?

                          Sailing, sailing, what is 'lusion? What is tru-ue?
                          Sailing, sailing, over the existential blues.
                          God bless America, and Old Glory too!
                          May she always wave o'er us with the red, white, and existential blues!
                          Hey, ba-ba-de-ba-ba-da-ba-da-da,
                          Ba-de-bom-ba-de-bom--ba-ding-a-ding-ding ding-existential blues.
                          Hey, you can do what you want but lay off my existential blues!
                          My blue suede existential blues!

                          [Spoken:]
                          I was on a quest!
                          To dream the impossible dream.
                          Walking down the road one day, doo-dah, doo-dah,
                          I was walking down the road, I was looking for the truth of life,
                          When I came across all these little people, little people
                          Little people all around me.
                          They looked up at me and said, "Hey, mister, are you tall?"
                          I said, "Yes, I'm tall, but who are you weird little whiners?"
                          And they looked up at me with their big, red, bloodshot eyes and said:

                          We are the lollipop kids, the lollipop kids,
                          The lollipop kids.
                          We are the lollipop kids!
                          And we'd like to welcome you to Munchkinland!

                          I said, "Hey! Hey, weird little whiners, I am on a quest
                          To dream the impossible dream.
                          Walking down the road one day, doo-dah, doo-dah,
                          I said, "Hey kids, I'm looking for the truth of life.
                          Where do I go, who do I see?"
                          They said, "Slow down, mister, in order to find the truth of life,
                          one must see THE WIZARD!"
                          I said, "THE WIZARD? Well, where does this wizard, old wise one, live?"
                          They said, "You see the big, green, glow-in-the-dark house up on the hill?"
                          I said, "Yes, I see the big, green, glow-in-the-dark house up on the hill.
                          There's a big, dark forest between me and the big, green,
                          glow-in-the-dark house up on the hill.
                          And a little old lady on a Hoover vacuum cleaner going
                          'I'll get you, my little pretty, and your little dog, Toto, too!'.
                          I don't even have a little dog, Toto."

                          Such predicaments, I must forge ahead!
                          To dream the impossible dream.
                          Walking down the road one day, doo-dah, doo-dah.
                          I must find the truth of life.
                          I said, "But you know, kids, I can handle a big, green, glow-in-the-dark house
                          up on the hill, I can handle a darn forest, I can handle the little old lady,
                          But that's a very strange road you're sending me down!
                          I've seen yellow stripes in the middle of a road before, but kids,
                          uh, never quite that wide!"
                          All right, tighten your shorts pilgrim, and sing like da Duke.

                          Follow the yellow brick road (Come on)
                          Follow the yellow brick road (Everybody sing)
                          Follow, follow, follow, follow,
                          Follow the yellow brick road
                          If ever a wonderful wiz there was,
                          The Wizard of Oz is one because,
                          Because, because, because, because, because,
                          Because of the wonderful things he does!
                          La-la-la-la-la-la-la, ha-ha!
                          We're off to see the wizard,
                          The wonderful Wizard of Oz!

                          Wellllll, I got a little bit tired of
                          Walking down the road one day, doo-dah, doo-dah.
                          I got a little bit tired of walking down this old blinding yellow road,
                          So pulled my little tired old body off to a little rest area
                          And lo and behold there's a little field of little red flowers out there,
                          And they, heh, smelled so good. Whoa.
                          I was gettin' pretty tired and they smelled so good, and I
                          Figured, well, I'll just stretch out in this little field of

                          POPPIES! POPPIES! POPPIES! poppies!
                          (Cough)
                          Hey, what a strange dream, man!
                          The little flowers, they smell awfully good, and I was pretty tired.
                          The old wizard's just gonna have to wait, man, because I'm just gonna
                          Stretch out again in the little field of

                          POPPIES! POPPIES! POPPIES!
                          OH GOD! OH GOD! OH GOD!
                          Dorothy! Dorothy! Dorothy!
                          (SNIFFFFFFF)
                          DOROTHY! DOROTHY! DOROTHY!
                          ...confidence in herself, man.
                          Along came this old man in a green El Dorado II, screeched to a halt,
                          A little short man with a big red nose
                          Toking a bottle of Yukon Jack
                          Strolled up to me and said, "Hey, son."
                          I said, "Old man, don't bother me. POPPIES, MMMMMMMMM!"
                          He said, "T-Bone!"
                          I said, "Wait a minute, this old man knows my name, he must be
                          THE WIZARD!"

                          He must be the Wizard,
                          The Wizard of Oz.
                          Why have you come to haunt me?
                          Oh, Wizard of Oz.

                          I said, "Oh, Wizard, old wise one, I have been on a quest
                          To dream the impossible dream
                          Walking down the road one day, doo-dah, doo-dah
                          And I met these little people
                          We are the lollipop kids, the lollipop kids, the lollipop kids,
                          Follow the yellow brick road
                          Follow, follow, follow
                          I got tired
                          POPPIES! POPPIES!
                          Little old man, I've been through hell!"
                          He said, "Hey, son, slow down, relax."
                          I said, "But, wizard, old wise one, I have come so far to find
                          the truth of life!"
                          He says, "Hey, son, slow down, relax."
                          He said, "To tell you the truth, son..."
                          I said, "Wizard, that's what I've come to find is the truth."
                          He said, "No, no, no, son, you've got me all wrong. Heh heh.
                          To tell you the truth, son...uh...how can I tell you this? Uh...
                          I've been in this field of poppies a long time myself, and I've come
                          to find, son, that the only truth in life is right here in this bottle."
                          I said, "Wizard!"
                          He said, "No, truly, son. In fact, I'd rather have this bottle in
                          front of me than A FRONTAL LOBOTOMY!"
                          How profound, Wizard!

                          Some girl with psychic power, she said, "T-Bone, what's your sign?"
                          I blink and answer, "Neon!" I thought I'd blow her mind.
                          She's reading Moby **** by some fruitcake named Herman,
                          She's chomping on a knockwurst, was the duchess really German?
                          You ask so many questions, what answers should I choose?
                          Is this really Butte, Montana, or just existential blues?

                          Really Butte, Montana?
                          Is this Plato's heebie-jeebies?
                          Is this schizoid paranoia?

                          (Star Trek-like sound effects)

                          La-la-la-la-la-la-la, existential blu-uu-uuuuu-ues!

                            Now you may find it inconceivable or at the very least a bit unlikely that the relative position of the planets and the stars could have a special deep significance or meaning that exclusively applies to only you, but let me give you my assurance that these forcasts and predictions are all based on solid, scientific, documented evidence, so you would have to be some kind of moron not to reaize that every single one of the is absolutely true.

                              When there's a shadow near, reach for the sun
                              When there is loving here, look for the one
                              And for the promises, there is the sky
                              And for the heavens are those who can fly

                              Chorus:
                              If you really want to, you can hear me say
                              Only if you want to will you find a way
                              If you really want to you can seize the day
                              Only if you want to will you fly away

                              When there's a journey to follow the star
                              When there's an ocean to sail to far
                              And for the broken hearts there is the sky
                              And for tomorrow are those who can Fly

                              Chorus

                              Bridge:
                              Je voudrais voler, comme un oiseau d'ailleurs
                              (bis) d'ailleurs

                              If you really want to, you can hear me say
                              Only if you want to will you find a way
                              If you really want to you can seize the day
                              Only if you want to will you fly away...


                              Don McLean - Prime Time

                              Well this is life, this is Prime time
                              This is livin' in the U. S. A.
                              Well this is life, this is Prime Time
                              This is livin' the American way

                              I was ridin' on the subway in the afternoon
                              I saw some kids 'a beatin' out a funky tune
                              The lady right in front of me was old and brown
                              The kids began to push her, they knocked her down
                              I tried to help her out but there was just no way
                              A life ain't worth a damn on the street today
                              I passed the ambulance and the camera crews
                              I saw the instant replay on the evening news

                              Chorus

                              Well will you take the car, or will you take the trip?
                              Remove annoying hair from your upper lip
                              What's it really worth? Does she really care?
                              What's the best shampoo that I can use on my hair?
                              Hey what's the real future of democracy?
                              How're we gonna streamline the bureaucracy?
                              Hey, hey, the cost of living has gone sky-high
                              Does the deodorant I'm using really keep me dry?

                              Chorus

                              Well spin the magic wheel and try to break the bank
                              Think about your life when you fill in the blank
                              Here's a game that's real if you wanna try
                              One spot on the wheel that says you must die
                              American roulette is the game we play
                              But no-one wants to have to be the one to pay
                              You get to pass GO, you get to pass away
                              But before we start our show, here's our sponsor to say:

                              Chorus

                              Well down in Mexico, the laundry's on the line
                              There's where you can go if you land on the nine
                              Canada is nice if you're fond of ice
                              If you land on the two then we'll send you there twice
                              We interrupt this game for a news release:
                              A man has gone insane and been killed by police!
                              Now back to the game, that's a dangerous play
                              Cause if they see you in C-U-B-A you must pass away

                              Chorus

                              My supper's on the stove, the war is on the screen
                              Pass the bread and butter while I watch the Marine
                              The shot him in the chest--Pass the chicken breast!
                              The general is saying that he's still unimpressed.
                              We had to burn the city 'cause they wouldn't agree
                              That things go better with democracy!
                              The weather will be fair, forget the ozone layer,
                              But strontium showers will be here and there

                              Chorus

                              Well livin' in the country watchin' shadows fall
                              My reception ain't too good in a power stall
                              Bombers in the air, missiles in the sea
                              Chemicals in everything, including me
                              They don't keep their promise in the promised land
                              It's getting mighty hard to find an honest man
                              But coming very soon, a show you'll die to see
                              It's called The End Of The World, on channel C

                              Well this is life, this is Prime time
                              This is livin' in the U. S. A.
                              Well this is life, this is Prime time
                              This is livin' in the U. S. A.
                              Well this is life, this is Prime Time
                              This is livin' the American way
                              "Love the earth and sun and animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown . . . reexamine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency" - Walt Whitman

                                10 Domino Dancing-
                                (All day, all day)
                                I don't know why, I don't know how
                                I thought I loved you, but I'm not sure now
                                I've seen you look at strangers too many times
                                The love you want is of a different kind
                                Remember when we felt the sun
                                A love like paradise, how hot it burned
                                A threat of distant thunder, the sky was red
                                And when you walked, you always - turned every head
                                (All day, all day) Watch them all fall down
                                (All day, all day) Domino dancing
                                (All day, all day) Watch them all fall down
                                (All day, all day) Domino dancing
                                I thought that when we fought I was to blame
                                But now I know you play a different game
                                I've watched you dance with danger, still wanting more
                                Add another number to the score
                                (All day, all day) Watch them all fall down
                                (All day, all day) Domino dancing
                                (All day, all day) Watch them all fall down
                                (All day, all day) Domino dancing
                                When you look around you wonder
                                Do you play to win?
                                Or are you just a bad loser?
                                (All day, all day)
                                (All day, all day)
                                I don't know why, I don't know how
                                I thought I loved you but I'm not sure now
                                I hear the thunder crashing, the sky is dark
                                And now a storm is breaking within my heart
                                (All day, all day) Watch them all fall down
                                (All day, all day) Domino dancing
                                (All day, all day) Watch them all fall down
                                (All day, all day) Domino dancing
                                (All day, all day) Watch them all fall down
                                (All day, all day) Domino dancing
                                (All day, all day) Watch them all fall down
