    Man Piaba
    Composer(s): Harry Belafonte; Henry Rollins
    Performer(s): Harry Belafonte; The Seriously Unserious Trio



    When I was a lad of three-foot-three
    Certain questions occurred to me
    So I asked me father quite seriously
    To tell me the story 'bout the bird and bee
    He stammered and he stuttered pathetically
    And this is what he said to me

    He said, "The woman piaba and the man piaba
    and the Ton Ton call baka lemon grass
    The lily root, gully root, belly root uhmm
    And the famous grandy scratch scratch

    It was clear as mud but it covered the ground
    And the confusion made the brain go 'round
    I went and ask a good friend of mine
    Known to the world as Albert Einstein
    He said "Son, from the beginning of time and creativity
    There existed the force of relativity
    Pi r square and a minus ten means a routine only when
    The solar system in one light year
    Make the Hayden planetarium disappear
    So if Mt Everest doesn't move
    I am positive that it will prove

    That the woman piaba and the man piaba
    And the Ton Ton call baka lemon grass
    The lily root, gully root, belly root uhmm
    And the famous grandy scratch scratch

    It was clear as mud but it covered the ground
    And the confusion made the brain go 'round
    I grabbed a boat and went abroad
    In Baden Baden asked Sigmund Freud
    He said "Son, from your sad face remove the grouch
    Put the body down up on the couch
    I can see from your frustration a neurotic sublimation
    Hey love and hate is psychosomatic
    Your Rorsach shows that you're a peri pathetic
    It all started with a broken sibling
    In the words of the famous Rudyard Kipling

    That the woman piaba and the man piaba
    And the Ton Ton call baka lemon grass
    The lily root, gully root, belly root uhmm
    And the famous grandy scratch scratch

    Well I traveled far and I traveled wide
    And I don't even have me self a bride
    All the great men upon this earth
    Have confused me since my birth
    I've been over land and been over sea
    Trying to find answer 'bout the bird and bee
    But now that I am ninety three
    I don't give a darn you see

    If the woman piaba and the man piaba
    And the Ton Ton call baka lemon grass
    The lily root, gully root, belly root uhmm
    And the famous grandy scratch scratch

    17 (Lazy Sod)
    Performer(s): The Sex Pistols



    You're only 29 got a lot to learn
    But when your business (mummy) dies she will not return
    we make (like) noise it's our choice it's what we wanna do
    we don't care about long hairs I don't wear flares
    See my face not a trace no reality
    I don't work I just speed that's all I need

    I'm a lazy sod
    say you're lazy
    I'm a lazy sod
    I can't even be bothered
    Lazy!

    Man Overboard
    Composer(s): Bob Welch
    Performer(s): Bob Welch



    Too much too soon, sure was sweet
    Foreign cars soft leather seats
    Foreign prices can't compete
    We can't go back, were in too deep
    Man overboard
    For rich or poor
    They all want more
    We've gone too far, man overboard
    Man overboard
    You can't ignore
    It's so hard core
    We've gone too far, man overboard
    Man get laid off, he can't eat, Vietnam Vet., he can't sleep
    Big Rolls Royce drivin' down the street two sexy blondes in the back seat!
    Man Overboard
    When it rains, it pours
    I vote against
    I don't vote for
    We've gone too far, man overboard
    Man overboard
    No he can't afford
    You've got enough
    But we want more
    He's gone to far, man overboard
    I'm bored over everything I read
    I'm bored over everything on T.V.
    I'm bored over you
    I'm bored over me
    I'm overboard
    Way overboard
    Man overboard!
    Man overboard
    I'm falling overboard
    We'll I'm so bored
    They've gone too far, man overboard
    Man overboard
    It's all their fault
    I've think I gone too far, man overboard

    17 Ans
    Composer(s): Georges Moustaki
    Performer(s): Georges Moustaki



    17 ans
    Une femme une enfant
    Qui ne sait rien encore
    Et découvre son corps
    Que le soleil enivre
    Et que la nuit délivre

    17 ans
    Un sourire innocent
    Et le regard docile
    Sous un rideau de cils
    Mais une faim de loup
    Et une soif de tout

    17 ans
    Des seins de satin blanc
    Semblent narguer le vent
    De leur charme insolent

    17 ans
    Et prendre encore le temps
    Le temps de refuser
    Le monde organisé
    Et faire à l'heure présente
    Un aujourd'hui qui chante

    17 ans
    Et vivre à chaque instant
    Ses caprices d'enfant
    Ses désirs exigeants

    17 ans
    J'étais adolescent
    Et je le suis encore
    En découvrant ton corps
    Comme un fruit éclaté
    Comme un cri révolté

    17 ans déjà

    17 ans tu n'as
    Que 17 ans
    Mon amour
    Mon enfant

    Man On Your Mind
    Composer(s): Glenn Shorrock; Kerryn Tolhurst
    Performer(s): Little River Band;
    Birtles Shorrock Goble; Beeb Birtles



    I can feel it floating away
    Inch by inch, day by day
    Love boat set itself free
    Castaway, slipping out to sea

    I can feel it coming adrift
    Even a blind man could see the rift
    From an ocean liner to a Chinese Junk
    There ain't been a ship that can't be sunk

    I used to dream it could last forever
    But pipedreams never come true
    I'd be foolin' myself if I never
    Thought something like this
    Couldn't happen to you

    I said baby you've got a man on your mind
    You got a weight on your shoulders
    How you ever gonna find the words to say goodbye

    You don't know just what you got till it's gone
    I guess you heard that a lot but it's true
    It's not just a game
    You can't change your life
    By changing your name

    It's not something you can hide away
    Sooner or later it starts to show
    It's written on your face
    You've been betrayed
    Do you really believe that I don't know

    I said baby you've got a man on your mind
    You got a weight on your shoulders
    How you ever gonna find the words to say goodbye
    It's already fallen
    So it's no use to fight
    And if he starts callin'
    Let him know you're with me
    For the rest of the night

    Ooh I said baby you've got a man on your mind
    You got a weight on your shoulders
    How you ever gonna find the words to say goodbye

    Baby you've got a man on your mind
    You got a weight on your shoulders
    How you ever gonna find the words to say goodbye

    17 Ans
    Performer(s): Jean Ferrat



    Je l'ai vue je l'ai vue je vous jure un matin
    Arrivant en avion de son pays lointain
    Aussi fraîche aussi tendre aussi gaie qu'un printemps
    Et s'arrêta le temps

    Elle avait le teint mat des yeux croissant de lune
    Sur ses reins qui dansaient deux longues tresses brunes
    Donnaient à sa jeunesse un éclat triomphant
    Sous le soleil levant

    Elle était à la fois timide et sûre d'elle
    Par sa voix ses propos sa grâce naturelle
    Rien ne la distinguait des filles de ce temps
    Elle avait dix-sept ans

    Nulle ombre ne voilait son regard enfantin
    Nul regret ne faisait palpiter sa poitrine
    Elle avait au combat de sa main douce et fine
    Tué dix américains

    and various other artists



    I'm a wheel, I'm a wheel
    I can roll, I can feel
    And you can't stop me turning
    'Cause I'm the sun, I'm the sun
    I can move, I can run
    But you'll never stop me burning!
    Coming down with fire, to lift my spirit higher
    Someone's screaming my name
    "Come and make me holy again!"
    I'm the man on the silver mountain
    I'm the man on the silver mountain
    I'm the day, I'm the day
    I can show you the way
    And look! I'm right beside you!
    I'm the night, I'm the night
    I'm the dark and the light
    With eyes that see inside you
    Coming down with fire, to lift my spirit higher
    Someone's screaming my name
    "Come and make me holy again!"
    I'm the man on the silver mountain
    I'm the man on the silver mountain

    Où qu' tu t'crois?
    Où tu vas?
    Explique-toi
    Tu veux quoi?
    Savoir
    Si dehors, c'est bien
    Avoir
    18 ans, demain

    Regard' ta mère, elle est inquiète
    Prête à pleurer
    Le type qui t' guette derrière la fenêtre
    Je vais m'le payer
    pardonne
    J'voulais pas t'blesser
    Pardonne
    J't'ai jamais parlé

    Je n't'ai pas vu grandir
    Toi tu m'as vu vieillir...
    Là, j'en fais d'trop
    T'es l'début, moi la fin
    Et j' n'aurai jamais plus 18 ans demain

    Emmène-moi
    Où tu vas
    C'est miné
    J'peux l'prouver
    Tu sais
    Dehors c'est pas bien
    Oui, j'sais
    Qu' t'as 18 ans demain

    J'suis pas un exemple à citer
    J'peux pas prêcher
    Mais c'qui t'attend, c'est pas marrant
    J'l'ai pas cherché
    Pardonne
    J'voulais pas t'blesser
    Pardonne
    J't'ai jamais parlé

    Je n't'ai pas vu grandir
    Toi tu m'as vu vieillir...

    Man On The Corner
    Composer(s): Phil Collins
    Performer(s): Genesis; Daryl Stuermer



    See the lonely man there on the corner
    What he's waiting for, I don't know
    But he waits everyday now
    He's just waiting for something to show

    And nobody knows him
    And nobody cares
    'Cos there's no hiding place
    There's no hiding place - for you

    Looking everywhere at no one
    He sees everything and nothing at all - oh
    When he shouts nobody listens
    Where he leads no one will go - oh

    He's a lonely man, there on the corner
    What he's waiting for, I don't know
    But he waits everyday now
    He's just waiting for something to show - oh

    Nobody knows him
    And nobody cares
    'Cos there's no hiding place
    There's no hiding place - for you and me

    Are we just like all the rest
    We're looking too hard for something he's got
    Or moving too fast to rest
    But like a monkey on your back you need it
    But do you love it enough to leave it - ah

    Just like the lonely man there on the corner
    What he's waiting for, I don't know - oh
    But he waits every day now
    He's just waiting for that something to show - oh

    Who's the lonely man there on the corner
    What he's waiting for, I don't know
    But he's there every day now
    And he's just waiting for something to show - oh

    Who's the lonely man there on the corner
    What he's waiting for, I don't know
    Oh but he waits every day now
    He's just waiting for that something to show

    Performer(s): Paul McCartney



    Good morning, young master, it's 1882
    Your mother is hungry, what will you do?
    There is bread in the kitchen of the big house upstairs
    But I warn you, don't take it from them

    Na na na na, du du, du du, na na du
    You'll be tarred, you'll be feathered, you'll be hung like a ham
    And I warn you, don't do it, young man

    Your mother is calling, she wants you by the bed
    So get up, young master, go shake your sleepy head
    "Darling son, I am dying, and I leave it to you
    I'm leaving, tell me, what did I do?"

    Du du du, du du du, du du du, du du du
    I'm dying, tell me, what did I do?"

    Boy, he steals the bread, now that's enough, and heads for the door
    Man, he hears him coming, "Boy, you won't be running no more"
    Boy, he gets arrested and the case is tested that day
    Judge, he guilty makes him and the jailer takes him away

    Du du du du, du du du du du, du du du du
    Du du du du, du du du, du du du du du du
    Good night to the outlaw, but you want to be free
    Good morning, oh, it's late, too late again

    Performer(s): Styx



    He was a man of miracles

    Fighting the solar windstorm
    A winged horse guides his way
    Oracle of the ancient midnight
    Calls forth everlasting pain

    And I know, yes I know
    He was a man of miracles
    Riding golden meteorites
    Ruler of distant galaxies
    Born of the northern lights
    Of the northern lights

    Sorcerer of the dark moon
    Who dare incur his rage?
    First child of the scorpion
    Prophet of the crystal age

    And I know, yes I know
    He was a man of miracles
    Riding golden meteorites
    Ruler of distant galaxies
    Born of the northern lights
    Of the northern lights

    He was a man of miracles

    Composer(s): David Olney
    Performer(s): David Olney; Linda Rondstadt



    The strange young man who comes to me
    A soldier on a three day spree
    Who needs one night's cheap ecstasy
    And a woman's arms to hide him
    He greets me with a courtly bow
    And hides his pain by acting proud
    He drinks too much and he laughs too loud
    How can I deny him?

    Let us dance beneath the moon
    I'll sing to you "Claire de Lune'
    The morning always comes too soon
    But tonight the war is over

    He speaks to me in schoolboy French
    Of a soldier's life inside a trench
    Of the look of death and the ghastly stench
    I do my best to please him

    He puts two roses in a vase
    Two roses sadly out of place
    Like the gallant smile on his haggard face
    Playfully I tease him

    Hold me 'neath the Paris skies
    Let's not talk of how or why
    Tomorrow's soon enough to die
    But tonight the war is over

    We make love too hard too fast
    He falls asleep, his face a mask
    He wakes with the shakes and he drinks from his flask
    I put my arms around him

    They die in the trenches and they die in the air
    In Belgium and France the dead are everywhere
    They die so fast there's no time to prepare
    A decent grave to surround them

    Old world glory, old world fame
    The old world's gone, gone up in flames
    Nothing will ever be the same
    And nothing lasts forever

    Oh I'd pray for him but I've forgotten how
    And there's nothing, nothing that can save him now
    There's always another with the same funny bow
    And who am I to deny them

    Originally performed by: Buddy Guy



    I don't care what nobody say
    I'm a man of a many words
    I can speak things to you darlin' I do
    I can swear that you never heard
    I rap strong and I know it right along
    Come on mama let me turn you on
    Now come on
    Alright

    When I grab my game and call your name
    You would never be the same
    In the midnight hours when you dream my darling
    I swear you will call my name
    I rap strong when I know it right along
    Come on mama let me turn you on
    Now come on

    I was hauled off to jail late last night
    With no one to go my bail
    I rapped strong to the judge early this morning
    And the judge put the cops in jail
    I rap strong and I know it right along
    Come on mama let me turn you on
    Now come on
    Let me tell you about it baby
    I gotta tell you
    I'm gonna preach about it
    I want the world to know about it
    I want to know what you did to me

    1941
    Composer(s): Harry Nilsson
    Performer(s): Harry Nilsson;
    Tom Northcott; Joel Grey



    Well in nineteen-forty-one
    A happy father had a son
    And by nineteen-forty-four
    The father walked right out the door
    And in forty-five
    The mom and son were still alive
    But who could tell in forty-six
    If the two were to survive
    Well the years were passing quickly
    But not fast enough for him
    So he closed his eyes till fifty-five
    And he opened them up again
    When he looked around he saw a clown
    And the clown seemed very gay
    And he set that night to join
    That circus clown and run away

    Yoh-dod-dle-doh-da-dat-un-dee-dee (Scat Solo)

    Well he followed every railroad track
    And every highway sign
    And he had a girl in each new town
    And the towns he left behind
    And the open road
    Was the only road he knew
    But the colour of his dreams
    Slowly turned into blue
    Then he met a girl
    The kind of girl he wanted all his life
    She was soft and kind and good to him
    So he took her for a wife
    And they got a house not far from town
    And in a little while
    The girl had seen the doctor
    And she came home with a smile

    Now in nineteen-sixty-one
    A happy father had a son
    And by nineteen-sixty-four
    The father walked right out the door
    And in sixty-five
    The mom and son were still around
    But what will happen to the boy
    When the circus comes to town

    Ba-dom-ba-da-da..... (Scat Solo........Fade)

    Man Made Paradise
    Composer(s): Freddie Mercury
    Performer(s): Freddie Mercury



    I want to gaze into your eyes and see the fire in their glow
    But it's the same old story
    Want you to melt inside my arms like falling rain upon the snow
    But you say no, you say no
    Want you to help me through deep waters when my ship is in a storm
    Want you to give me all the power like a king on his throne
    But you don't care, you don't care
    History repeats itself, I seem to be all by myself again

    Come into my life, it's a man made paradise
    Come into my life, it's a man made paradise
    Come into my life, it's a man made paradise
    Come into my life, it's a man made paradise, paradise

    One day I'll look into your mind and understand which way to go
    But it's the same old story
    When you refuse me all the time I'm suicidal on my own
    But you don't know, you don't know
    I want to be beside you now, lie in the stand and kiss your brow
    I want to fly beyond the moon and do the things we do for love
    But you don't care, you don't care
    History repeats itself, I seem to be all by myself again

    Come into my life, it's a man made paradise
    Come into my life, it's a man made paradise
    Come into my life, it's a man made paradise
    Come into my life, it's a man made paradise, paradise

    I want to be beside you now, lie in the sand and kiss your brow
    I want to fly beyond the moon and do the things we do for love
    But you say no, you say no
    History repeats itself, I seem to be all by myself again

    Man In The Mirror
    Composer(s): Siedah Garrett; Glen Ballard
    Performer(s): Michael Jackson



    I'm gonna make a change
    for once im my life
    It's gonna feel real good
    gonna make a diference
    Gonna make it right...

    As I, turn up the collar on
    my favorite winter coat
    This wind is blowing my mind
    I see the kids in the streets
    with not enought to eat
    Who am I to be blind?
    Pretending not to see their needs

    A summer disregard,a broken bottle top
    And a one man soul
    They follow each other on the wind ya' know
    'Cause they got nowhere to go
    That's why I want you to know

    I'm starting with the man in the mirror
    I'm asking him to change his ways
    And no message could have been any clearer
    If you wanna make the world a better place
    (If you wanna make the world a better place)
    Take a look at yourself, and then make a change
    (Take a look at yourself, and then make a change)
    (Na na na, na na na, na na, na nah)

    I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love
    It's time that I realize
    That there are some with no home, not a nickel to loan
    Could it be really me, pretending that they're not alone?

    A willow deeply scarred, somebody's broken heart
    And a washed-out dream
    (Washed-out dream)
    They follow the pattern of the wind ya' see
    'Cause they got no place to be
    That's why I'm starting with me
    (Starting with me!)

    I'm starting with the man in the mirror
    (Ooh!)
    I'm asking him to change his ways
    (Ooh!)
    And no message could have been any clearer
    If you wanna make the world a better place
    (If you wanna make the world a better place)
    Take a look at yourself, and then make a change
    (Take a look at yourself, and then make a change)

    I'm starting with the man in the mirror
    (Ooh!)
    I'm asking him to change his ways
    (Change his ways - ooh!)
    And no message could have been any clearer
    If you wanna make the world a better place
    Take a look at yourself and then make that..
    (Take a look at yourself and then make that..)
    Change!

    I'm starting with the man in the mirror
    (Man in the mirror - Oh yeah!)
    I'm asking him to change his ways
    (Better change!)
    No message could have been any clearer
    (If you wanna make the world a better place)

    (Take a look at yourself and then make the change)
    (You gotta get it right, while you got the time)
    ('Cause when you close your heart)
    You can't close your... your mind!
    (Then you close your... mind!)
    That man, that man, that man, that man
    With the man in the mirror
    (Man in the mirror, oh yeah!)
    That man, that man, that man,
    I'm asking him to change his ways
    (Better change!)
    You know... that man
    No message could have been any clearer
    If you wanna make the world a better place
    (If you wanna make the world a better place)
    Take a look at yourself and then make the change
    (Take a look at yourself and then make the change)
    Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
    Na na na, na na na, na na, na nah
    (Ooooh...)
    Oh no, no no...

    I'm gonna make a change
    It's gonna feel real good!
    Come on!
    (Change...)
    Just lift yourself
    You know
    You've got to stop it
    Yourself!
    (Yeah! - Make that change!)
    I've got to make that change, today!
    Hoo!
    (Man in the mirror)
    You got to
    You got to not let yourself...
    brother
    Hoo!
    (Yeah! - Make that change!)
    You know - I've got to get
    that man, that man...
    (Man in the mirror)
    You've got to
    You've got to move! Come on!
    Come on!
    You got to...
    Stand up! Stand up! Stand up!
    (Yeah! - Make that change)
    Stand up and lift yourself, now!
    (Man in the mirror)
    Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
    Aaow!
    (Yeah! - Make that change!)
    Gonna make that change...
    come on!
    You know it!
    You know it!
    You know it!
    You know it...
    (Change...)
    Make that change

    1952 Vincent Black Lightning
    Composer(s): Richard Thompson
    Performer(s): Richard Thompson



    Oh says Red Molly to James
    "That's a fine motorbike
    A girl could feel special on any such like"
    Says James to Red Molly "My hat's off to you
    It's a Vincent Black Lightning, 1952
    And I've seen you at the corners and cafes it seems
    Red hair and black leather, my favourite colour scheme"
    And he pulled her on behind and down to Boxhill they did ride
    Oh says James to Red Molly "Here's a ring for your right hand
    But I'll tell you in earnest I'm a dangerous man
    For I've fought with the law since I was seventeen
    I robbed many a man to get my Vincent machine
    Now I'm 21 years, I might make 22
    And I don't mind dying, but for the love of you
    And if fate should break my stride
    Then I'll give you my Vincent to ride"

    "Come down, come down, Red Molly" called Sergeant McRae
    "For they've taken young James Adie for armed robbery
    Shotgun blast hit his chest, left nothing inside
    Oh come down, Red Molly to his dying bedside"
    When she came to the hospital, there wasn't much left
    He was running out of road, he was running out of breath
    But he smiled to see her cry
    He said "I'll give you my Vincent to ride"

    Says James "In my opinion, there's nothing in this world
    Beats a 52 Vincent and a red headed girl
    Now Nortons and Indians and Greeves won't do
    Ah, they don't have a soul like a Vincent 52"
    Oh he reached for her hand and he slipped her the keys
    Said "I've got no further use for these
    I see angels on Ariels in leather and chrome
    Swooping down from heaven to carry me home"
    And he gave her one last kiss and died
    And he gave her his Vincent to ride

    Man In The Mirror
    Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg
    Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg



    The man in the mirror
    He keeps getting nearer
    But I am not moving
    The man in the backstreet
    Is holding a trackmeet
    But I will not run

    Someplace inside you a
    Seed has been born
    You've got to watch it grow
    Someplace inside you
    A river is waiting to flow
    Will you let it go?

    Those voices you're hearing
    Are never worth fearing
    They're only inside you
    They'll tempt you and taunt you
    They'll help you and haunt you
    But don't try to hide

    Sometimes the sun will be
    Right at your shoulder
    Helping you keep your stride
    Sometimes you might have to give up
    A piece of your pride
    Have you even tried?

    The man in the mirror
    He keeps getting nearer
    But I am not moving
    The man in the backstreet
    Is holding a trackmeet
    But I will not run

    Someplace inside you a
    Seed has been born
    You've got to watch it grow
    Someplace inside you
    A river is waiting to flow
    Will you let it go?

    1954 Boogie Blues
    Composer(s): Daryl Dragon
    Performer(s): Captain & Tennille



    I wanta hear me some boogie played
    like I heard in 1954
    I wanta hear me some boogie played
    like I heard in 1954
    You know the way that Fats played the boogie
    You just don't hear that anymore

    I was just a little thing when I heard it on the radio
    i was just a little thing when I heard it on the radio
    Jerry Lee and Little Richard
    You just don't hear that anymore

    It was a rompin', stompin', finger-poppin'
    Good-time music for my soul
    And when the drums were talkin' and the bass went walkin'
    That started it
    Rock and Roll, oh!

    I wanta hear me some boogie played like I heard in 1954
    I wanta hear my Captain play some boogie now like I heard in 1954
    You know the way my Captain plays the boogie
    You just don't hear that anymore

    Man In The Middle
    Performer(s): Tom Petty



    Like an inventor
    He is a symbol of a new age
    He glides above the realms
    Of you and me
    He flows through your life
    And makes you feel quite small
    You may sit up in your chair
    He doesn’t care at all

    He’s the man in the middle
    You can tell which way he lays
    He’s the man in the middle
    And he realises
    And he realises
    And he realises
    Beauty pays

    His gowns come from paris
    Occasionally from rome
    He can go anywhere
    Say back to his home
    He flows through your life
    And makes you feel quite small
    Flashing to the white collars
    Ha, he doesn’t care at all

    He’s the man in the middle
    You can tell which way he lays
    He’s the man in the middle
    And he realises
    And he realises
    And he realises
    Beauty pays
    Please...

    He’s the man in the middle
    You can tell which way he lays
    He’s the man in the middle
    And he realises
    And he realises
    And he realises
    Beauty pays

    He’s the man in the middle
    You can tell which way he lays
    He’s the man in the middle
    And he realises
    And he realises
    And he realises
    Beauty pays
    Please...
