Let me tell you 'bout that jive type
That jive type
Casanova brown
I met him at a party
He said the sweetest things when he hit on me
Wrapped up in his arms
I was blinded by his charm and I couldn't see
Like the story of little red riding hood
The big bad wolf was up to
Up to no good, woo, no
That jive type, that jive type
Casanova brown
He hit on me and he'll hit on you
That jive type, that jive type
Casanova brown
I was lonely and naive
I guess that's why I believed every word he says
It felt so good to hear
Every time he said he cared it went straight to my head
He loved me and left me
But I can't deny
His love was so doggone good
I still, I still love that guy, ooh, [oh no] hey
That jive type, that jive type
Casanova brown
He hit on me and he'll hit on you, watch out
That jive type,that jive type, ooh
Casanova brown

Casanova brown
That jive type, that jive type
Casanova brown
I was sittin' there mindin' my business
Feelin' good, checkin' things out
Sippin' on little wine [jive type, that jive type]
Then I spotted
Super cool dude cross the room diggin' on me
I tried to pretend like I didn't even see him
But he was so fine
He took my hand and started to dancin'
I know he felt me fallin' for him
'cause he kept holdin' me tighter and tighter, ooh
Sure was nice
Girl, my head was all turned around, oh
I didn't know what I was gettin' into, ooh, ow
Up to no good, oh no
That jive type, that jive type
Casanova brown
That jive type, that jive type
Casanova brown
Like the story of little red riding hood
The big bad wolf was up to
Up to no good, woo, oh
That jive type, that jive type

Not a glimmer Now you´re nothing But second hand In glove With second rate now Now you´re flirting With heroin - Or is it cocaine? Casanova - Is that your name Or do you live there? I know my place Is here with you Tonight But not together

Performer(s): Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
Well the clouds go by in the big blue sky As the sun beats down on Casa Dega And the moon pulls the tide and the tide brings night But night is more than just a night in Casa Dega
Oh baby now I think I'm starting to believe the things that I've heard 'Cause tonight in Casa Dega I hang on every word
That she said to me as she holds my hand And reads the lines of a stranger Yeah and she knows my name yeah she knows my plan In the past in the present and for the future
Oh honey now I think I'm starting to believe the things that I've heard 'Cause tonight in Casa Dega I hang on every word
That she said...
Baby fools pay the price of a whisper in the night in Casa Dega Time rolls by, night is only night, can I save you?

Let's spread the news Of the hippy's views The bell has rung and war must cease As the rose will grow and the weed must die And long life makes us beautiful
Chorus
Imagine this, I've got flower power Imagine this, I've got flower power
The Eagle And The Hawk Composer(s): Mike Taylor - John Denver First release by: John Denver - 1971 Covered by multiple other artists
I am the eagle, I live in high country In rocky cathedrals that reach to the sky
I am the hawk and there's blood on my feathers But time is still turning they soon will be dry And all those who see me and all who believe in me Share in the freedom I feel when I fly
Come dance with the west wind and touch on the mountain tops Sail over the canyons and up to the stars And reach for the heavens and hope for the future And all that we "can" be, not what we are

Casa Bianca
((French Version: La Petite Maison Bleue (Dalida))
Composer(s): Don Backy - Detto Mariano
Performer(s): Don Backy
and multiple other artists
C'e' una casa bianca che che mai più io scorderò mi rimane dentro il cuore con la mia gioventù
Era tanto tempo fa ero bimba e di dolore io piangevo nel mio cuore non volevo entrare là
Tutti i bimbi come me hanno qualche cosa che di terror li fa tremare e non sanno che cos'è
Quella casa bianca che non vorrebbero lasciare e' la loro gioventù che mai più ritornerà
Tutti i bimbi come me hanno qualche cosa che di terror li fa tremare e non sanno che cos'è
E' la bianca casa che che mai più io scorderò mi rimane dentro il cuore con la mia gioventù
Flower Lady Composer(s): Phil Ochs Performer(s): Phil Ochs; and various other artists
Millionaires and paupers walk the hungry streets Rich and poor companions of the restless beat Strangers in a foreign land Strike a match with trembling hand Learn too much to ever understand But nobodys buying flowers from the flower lady
Lovers quarrel, snarl away their happiness Kissed crumble in a web of lonliness Its written by the poison pen Voices break before they bend The door is slammed Its over, once again But nobodys buying flowers from the flower lady
Poets agonize, they cannot find the words And the stone stares at the sculptor asks are you absurd? The painter paints his brushes back Through the canvas runs a crack Portrait of the pain never answers back But nobodys buying flowers from the flower lady
Soldiers, disillusioned, come home from the war Sarcastic students tell them not to fight no more And they argue through the night Black is black and white is white Walk away both knowing they are right But nobodys buying flowers from the flower lady
Smoke dreams of escaping souls are drifting by Dull the pain of living as they slowly die Smiles change into a sneer Washed away by whiskey tears In the quicksand of their mind they disappear Still nobodys buying flowers from the flower lady
Feeble, aged, people almost to their knees Complain about the present using memories Never found their pot of gold Wrinkled hands pound weary holes Each line screams out youre old, youre old, youre old But nobodys buying flowers from the flower lady
And the flower lady hobbles home without a sale Tattered shreds of petals leave a fading trail Not a pause to hold a rose Even she no longer knows The lamp goes out the evening now is closed And nobodys buying flowers from the flower lady
The Dying Mine Brakeman (aka The True And Trembling Brakeman) Performer(s): Orville J. Jenks
Listen now while I tell you Of a story you do not know Of a true and trembling brakeman And to heaven he did go Do you see that train-a-coming Oh, it's (?through) old Ninety-nine Oh, she's puffing and a-blowing For you know she is behind See that true and trembling brakeman As he signals to the cab There is but one chance for him And that is to grab See that true and trembling brakeman As the cars go rushing by If he miss that yellow freight car He is almost sure to die See that true and trembling brakeman As he falls beneath the train He had not one moment's warning Before he fell beneath the train
See the brave young engineerman At the age of twenty-one Stepping down from upon his engine Crying, "Now what have I done!" "Is it true I killed a brakeman Is it true that he is dying? Lord, you know I tried to save him But I could not stop in time" See the car wheels rolling o'er him O'er his mangled body 'n' head See his sister bending o'er him Crying, "Brother, are you dead?" Sighing, "Sister, yes, I'm dying Going to a better shore Oh, my body's on a pathway I can never see no more "Sister, when you see my brother These few words to him I send Tell him never to venture braking If he does, his life will end" These few words were sadly spoken Folding his arms across his breast And his heart now ceased beating And his eyes were closed in death
