Lies (Through The 80's) Composer(s): David "Fathead" Newman Performer(s): Manfred Mann's Earth Band
We're all gonna live out the Hollywood dream Everything's gonna be just what it seems Gonna find a better way to run our cars All through the Eighties 'Cause the race is on, we're gonna land on Mars All through the Eighties The Video Screen will open up the door All through the Eighties Information - there'll be more and more All through the Eighties Will the man on the street finally know the score
But I saw a kid with no smile on his face today Where is my place in this bright future, I heard him say I've lost my hope there isn't anywhere to play (Pull up the trees and put up a parking lot)
The play's been written we'll all be in the cast All through the Eighties And our feet are gonna point away from the past All through the Eighties Will supersonic travel be our ticket to ride We'll have cruise missiles, they think as they fly
But I saw a kid with no smile on his face today Where is my place in this bright future, I heard him say I've lost my hope there isn't anywhere to play (Pull up the trees and put up a parking lot)
Time will go and the years fly by All through the Eighties And we'll have another slice of American Pie All through the Eighties Credit card living, push button cash All through the Eighties We'll pay our money and we'll take our trash All through the Eighties And another generation will "Talk about their Generation"
But I saw a kid with no smile on his face today Where is my place in this bright future, I heard him say I've lost my hope there isn't anywhere to play (Pull up the trees and put up a parking lot) I saw a kid with no smile on his face today Where is my place in this bright future, I heard him say I saw a kid with no smile on his face today Where is my place in this bright future, I heard him say ...
Burnin' Bush Composer(s): Jerry Peters Performer(s): Earth, Wind & Fire
What does it take to show an illustration Of the hurt and the pain of a nation One glowing look upon a ragged canvas Tells the story of our past and present situation
That old bush just keeps on burning Nobody seems to show they're learning That old bush just keeps on burning I wonder will we ever feel the flame
Our way of life on total exhibition Shows the way in which we live of an Imperfect nation This tree of life so far from perfeciton Share a little love to improve our situation
That old bush just keeps on burning Share the hope for future learning I wonder will we ever feel the flame
Flow of light could really stand a listen Bring the dark to the light, show us What we've been missing Not many men are satisfied Without no light, there ain't no pride
There's gonna come a time Things that are on your mind Trust and you will find Everything in your mind True love is here to find Simple as number 9 Multiply you will find Peace and love all the time
But I'm Not Composer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan Performer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan
Don't you ever change your mind Don't you ever be unkind To me some say that (you're a fool) Well I'm not You might think that I'm a fool But I'm not
If I take you to a dance Don't let me catch you holding hands With other boys They think I'm cruel Well I'm not You might think that I'm being cruel But I'm not
It's worth a little thought to think Of how I fought for you Even so you know I caught for you Every bad dream you had and threw them away There'll come a day When I know you will say All the things I said to you Were the best things too
So don't you ever change your mind And don't you ever be unkind To me some say that (you're a fool) Well I'm not, no no no no You might think that I'm a fool But I'm not
It's worth a little thought to think Of how I fought for you Even so you know I caught for you Every bad dream you had and threw them away There'll come a day When I know you will say All the things I said to you Were the best things too
So don't you ever change your mind And don't you ever be unkind To me some say that (you're a fool) Well I'm not, no no no no You might think that I'm a fool But I'm not

Burned Composer(s): Neil Young Originally performed by: Buffalo Springfield Covered by various other artists
Been burned and with both feet on the ground I've learned that it's painful comin' down No use runnin' away, and there's no time left to stay Now I'm finding out that it's so confusin' No time left and I know I'm losin' Flashed and I think I'm fallin' down Crashed, and my ears can't hear a sound No use runnin' away, and there's no time left to stay Now I'm finding out that it's so confusin' No time left and I know I'm losin' Now I'm finding out that it's so confusin' No time left and I know I'm losin' Burned and with both feet on the ground I've learned that it's painful comin' down No use runnin' away, and there's no time left to stay Now I'm finding out that it's so confusin' No time left and I know I'm losin' Do I have to come right out and say it
(Neil Young): Do I have to come right out and say it Tell you that you look so fine? Do I have to come right out and ask you to be mine? If it was a game I could play it Trying to make it but I'm losing time I got to bring you in, you're overworking my mind
Chorus: Indecision is crowding me I have no room to spare And I can't believe she cared Like a dream she has taken me And now I don't know where And a part of me is scared The part of me I shared Once before Do I have to come right out and say it Tell you that you look so fine? Do I have to come right out and ask you to be mine?
Chorus Do I have to come right out and say it, girl Tell you that you look so fine? Do I have to come right out and ask you to be mine? If it was a game I could play it Trying to make it but I'm losing time I got to bring you in, you're overworking my mind Do I have to come right out and say it, girl Tell you that you look so fine?

Thine love is mine Thine heart with mine entwine, love My soul for thee doth pine Thine eye doth shine Thine life with mine combine, love Thou art my valentine Lips like apple wine Face like kalsomine (oh, fine) My clinging vine My voice for thee doth whine You're older than Auld Lang Syne
Twinkle, twinkle little star How you wonder who I am Way up in the sky, so low You're a better man than I am, oh, by Jove
The polar bear sleeps in his little bearskin He sleeps very well, I am told Last night I slept in my little bare skin And I got a heck of a cold
Pease Porridge hot Pease porridge cold Pease porridge in the pot Nine days old Peehew!

Liebe Wird Verboten Composer(s): Bernd Meinunger Performer(s): Peter Maffay
Die schöne neue Welt, die vor uns liegt so schön, daß man davon kalte Füße kriegt wird morgen Wirklichkeit, wenn wir nichts dagegen tun Die Pillen gibt es längst, die man nur schlucken muß fürs Glücksgefühl und gegen Überdruß Wir werden schon verplant und schauen auch noch ruhig zu
Liebe wird verboten denn Liebe bringt Gefahr für den neuen Staat und Gefühle stören da nur In der Welt von morgen Klappt alles wunderbar ja, du wirst schon sehn morgen funktionierst dann auch du
Dann denkst du nur, du denkst, und in Wirklichkeit Denkt ein Programm für dich auf Lebenszeit.. Du kennst nicht mal den Knopf, an dem andre für dich drehn Die Kinder kommen aus Retorten raus sie sehn perfekt doch ziemlich ähnlich aus Auf denken steht der Tot und in Bücher Darf kein Mensch mehr sehn!
Liebe wird verboten denn Liebe bringt Gefahr für den neuen Staat und Gefühle stören da nur In der Welt von morgen klappt alles wunderbar ja, du wirst schon sehn Morgen funktionierst dann auch du
Liebe wird verboten denn Liebe bringt Gefahr für den neuen Staat und Gefühle stören da nur In der Welt von morgen Klappt alles wunderbar ja, du wirst schon sehn morgen funktionierst dann auch du
Die neue Welt wird Wirklichkeit Die Pläne liegen längst griffbereit Bis morgen ist es nicht nicht mehr weit Die schöne neue Welt beginnt schon heut
Burn My Candle (At Both Ends) Composer(s): Ross Parker Performer(s): Shirley Bassey
Who's got a match for a strikin' Don't say it all depends Who wants to help me burn my candle, at both ends
Who's got a light he's hidin', under a bush or fence Who wants to help me burn my candle, at both ends
It's possible, it may not last a night While it burns, what a wonderful light
Who'd like to play with fire After they make ammends Who wants to help me burn my candle, at both ends
Who doesn't mind a reaper, after he's sewn wild oats Who wants to take a chance and help me, burn my boats
Who's not a look, then leaper Wanting a warning note Who wants to take a chance and help me, burn my boats
There's 'S' for Scotch, that's so direct And for straight and simple sex "I" for invitation to, a close relationship with you "N" for nothing bad nor less "S-I-N", that's sin, I guess
Who's got a good ignition Waiting for dividends Who wants to help me burn my candle, at both ends
It may not last, but it's all in the game, my friend And while it burns, what a fabulous flame
Who has an inhibition Who has a notch, that's on the handle Open my door, and spun the scandal Who wants to help me burn my candle, at both ends!
Lie For A Lie Composer(s): Danny Peyronel - Nick Mason - Rick Fenn Performer(s): Nick Mason & Rick Fenn
A game's a game I hear you say Enough emotion in a day We'll never live enough to play I hear you say
You make the you make the moves Giving clues about the rules But there's no way to warn the fools They're only fools
Give me a lie for a lie Give me a truth for a truth Nothing is hard to believe No one is hard to deceive Leave me a light in the dark Give me a lie for a lie Give me a truth for a truth
So let the fire within me burn You know something I should learn But I don't know which way to turn Still I turn
Give me a lie for a lie Give me a truth for a truth Nothing is hard to believe No one is hard to deceive Leave me a light in the dark Give me a lie for a lie Give me a truth for a truth
And when the flame begins to go I'll be there inside the door You'll never know that I care more Than I can show
Give me a lie for a lie Give me a truth for a truth Nothing is hard to believe No one is hard to deceive Leave me a light in the dark Give me a lie for a lie Give me a truth for a truth
Zou Het Erg Zijn Lieve Opa Performer(s): Vader Abraham & Wilma
Zou het erg zijn lieve opa Zou het erg zijn lieve opa Als de wind niet meer waait Als de haan in de morgen Zn lied niet meer kraait Zou het erg zijn lieve opa Als het gras niet meer groeit Zou het erg zijn lieve opa Als een bloem niet meer bloeit
Zou het erg zijn Als de klok in de toren niet meer slaat Als een vogel, zn nestje en zn moeder verlaat Zou het erg zijn lieve opa Als het maantje niet meer lacht Zou het erg zijn Als niet komt wat je vandaag had verwacht
Nee, mn kleine meisje Als jij maar van me houdt
Ja mijn lieve opa Als jij maar van me houdt
Zou het erg zijn lieve opa Als je gauw dood zou gaan Als de sterren aan de hemel er niet zouden staan Zou het erg zijn Als de zon, in de lucht niet meer schijnt Zou het erg zijn als de zee nu voor altijd verdwijnt
Zou het erg zijn lieve opa Als de wind niet meer waait Als de haan in de morgen Zn lied niet meer kraait Zou het erg zijn lieve opa Als het gras niet meer groeit Zou het erg zijn lieve opa Als een bloem niet meer bloeit
Lie Back, Let Me Do Everything Composer(s): Pope - Staples Performer(s): Rough Trade
It's ten o'clock the bar is jammed Waitresses circulate in and out of tables Feel like a boxer, I'm punch drunk Got a cigarette wedged in my face
Hearing voices breathing in my ear How they wanna massage my ego Sayin' lie back let me do everything Her aroma rising from stale beer and listerine Lie back let me do everything I wanna get lost in ya, lie back
Got my hair slicked back like a Latino Lounging in a naugahyde chair Got my fists bunched, shoved in my pockets Watchin' those queens slithering by
Hearing voices syrup in my ear How they wanna massage my ego Sayin' lie back, let me do everything Her aroma rising from stale beer and listerine Lie back, let me do everything I wanna get lost in ya lie back
Sayin' lie back, let me do everything Lie back, let me do everything Lie back, let me do everything I wanna get lost in ya, lie back Lie back, let me do everything Lie back, let me do everything
Burn Down The Mission Composer(s): Elton John; Bernie Taupin Performer(s): Elton John; Phil Collins; Toto
You tell me there's an angel in your tree Did he say he'd come to call on me For things are getting desperate in our home Living in the parish of the restless folks I know
Everybody now bring your family down to the riverside Look to the east to see where the fat stock hide Behind four walls of stone the rich man sleeps It's time we put the flame torch to their keep
Burn down the mission If we're gonna stay alive Watch the black smoke fly to heaven See the red flame light the sky
Burn down the mission Burn it down to stay alive It's our only chance of living Take all you need to live inside
Deep in the woods the squirrels are out today My wife cried when they came to take me away But what more could I do just to keep her warm Than burn burn burn burn down the mission walls
L'idole Chante Au Dessert Composer(s): Claude Moine - Pierre Papadiamandis Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell
De Paris à Las Vegas Avant l'show on débarrasse Votre table et vos couverts L'idole chante au dessert J'suis même sûr que Sinatra Déjà môme connaissait ça Pour faire plaisir à sa mère Il chantait au dessert Quand j'étais p'tit l'dimanche midi Juste à la fin du repas Je chantais "Petite Fleur" La main droite sur le cur Mes tantes, mes oncles et les amis N'attendaient qu'c'moment-là Pour reprendre tous en chur Et trinquer au bonheur Dans les mariages y a toujours Un cousin qui sait des tours Et puis un tonton pervers Qui chante au dessert Dans les partis politiques Quand le meeting se complique On fait un dîner d'affaire "La Marseillaise" au dessert J'étais enfant de chur à l'église J'ressemblais à la Tour de Pise J'avais bu tout le vin de messe C'était ma première ivresse Je n'jouais d'jà plus aux billes J'commençais à r'garder les filles Au goûter chez leur mère L'idole chante au dessert Y a des fois où c'est comme ça J'veux pas aller au gala Super show ou grand concert Moi j'chanterai pas au dessert
(L'idole chante au dessert L'idole chante au dessert L'idole chante au dessert L'idole chante au dessert L'idole chante au dessert)
