Badlands Composer(s): Bruce Springsteen First release by: Bruce Springsteen - 1978
Lights out tonight trouble in the heartland Got a head-on collision smashin' in my guts, man I'm caught in a cross fire that I don't understand But there's one thing I know for sure girl I don't give a damn For the same old played out scenes I don't give a damn For just the in betweens Honey, I want the heart, I want the soul I want control right now you better listen to me baby talk about a dream Try to make it real you wake up in the night With a fear so real spend your life waiting for a moment that just don't come Well, don't waste your time waiting
Badlands, you gotta live it everyday Let the broken hearts stand As the price you've gotta pay We'll keep pushin' till it's understood and these badlands start treating us good
Workin' in the fields till you get your back burned Workin' 'neath the wheels till you get your facts learned Baby I got my facts learned real good right now You better get it straight darling Poor man wanna be rich rich man wanna be king And a king ain't satisfied till he rules everything I wanna go out tonight I wanna find out what I got
Well I believe in the love that you gave me I believe in the faith that could save me I believe in the hope and I pray that some day It may raise me above these
Badlands, you gotta live it everyday Let the broken hearts stand As the price you've gotta pay We'll keep pushin' till it's understood and these badlands start treating us good
mmmmmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmmm
For the ones who had a notion a notion deep inside That it ain't no sin to be glad you're alive I wanna find one face that ain't looking through me I wanna find one place I wanna spit in the face of these badlands
I thought that passed this way again I feel the changes in my heart I still have questions that I've asked myself a million times I know the answers can't be that far behind I won't forget you're always there And don't you know I'll always care And though the reasons always change There'll never be days like these again I know that dawn will take away the distant day Tomorrow always finds a way 'Cause we're just passing through on our way to another stage And thoughts that linger will be those of today I won't forget you're always there And don't you know I'll always care And though the reasons always change There'll never be days like these again Thoughts that linger will always be the same There will never be days like these again There'll never be days like these again You know we'll always be the same There'll never be days like these again And though the reasons always change There'll never be days like these again
Angkor Wat Composer(s): Jon Anderson - Jonathan Elias - Rick Wakeman Performer(s): Yes
Out of the brightest tree the moon became the morning sun And there again reflected on the dreams of everyone Out of the starlight night the telling of all our lives And racing faster than the Northwestern World Starpoint to signal our endlessness Starpoint to signal this evermore Starpoint to compass: We look to the North To return to the centre: Angkor Wat
Daylight Stranger Composer(s): Jerry Fuller; Gary Puckett Performer(s): Gary Puckett
(Ah ah ah)
If we meet by chance today, pretend that you don't see me I love you, but if she knew I know she'd never free me Long as I am tied to her we care not for the danger So be discreet and meet me later, daylight stranger
She believes that I go out on real important business She's so right 'cause every night I taste your tender kisses That's what happens when a home is filled with pain & anger So be discreet and meet me later, daylight stranger
For a while just be my lover With the darkness as our cover So that she may not discover you
(Ah ah ah, ah ah ah)
Soon enough she'll realize that we were both mistaken Walk & talk 'cause in my hand, one day I'll soon awaken Turn the sunlight in your eyes without the thrill of danger So be discreet and meet me later, daylight stranger
Angie ((German Version: Angie (by Jasmine Bonnin) - 1973)) Composer(s): Mick Jagger - Keith Richards First release by: The Rolling Stones - 1973 Covered by multiple other artists
Oh, Angie, Angie When will those dark clouds disappear? Angie, Angie Where will it lead us from here?
With no loving in our souls and no money in our coats You can't say were satisfied But, Angie, Angie, You can't say we never tried
Angie, you're beautiful but ain't it time we say goodbye Angie, I still love you Remember all those nights we cried
All the dreams we held so close seemed to all go up in smoke Let me whisper in your ear Angie, Angie where will it lead us from here?
Oh Angie don't you weep, ah your kisses still taste sweet I hate that sadness in your eyes But Angie, Angie ain't it time we say goobye
With no loving in our souls and no money in our coats You can't say were satisfied But, Angie, Angie You can't say we never tried
But Angie, I still love baby Ev'rywhere I look I see your eyes There ain't a woman that comes close to you Come on baby dry your eyes But Angie, Angie, ain't it good to be alive Angie, Angie, they can't say we never tried
Daylight Katy Composer(s): Gordon Lightfoot Performer(s): Gordon Lightfoot
She walks by the sea where the sea world is and she waits for the man to come She lives in town with her high-heeled friends and she knows it's a long way down But she doesn't have to get up in the morning with her hair so soft and long
Daylight Katy come on Daylight Katy come on If you can't follow me down Daylight Katy, go home Daylight Katy come on Daylight Katy come on If you can't follow me down Daylight Katy, go home
She walks to the sea where the seaweed is where the rust and the dirt runs deep She lives nine lives in her midnight world while her old man's fast asleep And she doesn't have to get up in the morning with her hair so soft and long
Daylight Katy come on Daylight Katy come on If you can't follow me down Daylight Katy, go home Daylight Katy come on Daylight Katy come on If you can't follow me down Daylight Katy, go home
She lives by the sea when the summer wind comes and the sea don't mind at all She talks to the sea when the sea runs wild and the waves run steep and tall And she doesn't have to get up in the morning with her hair so soft and long
Daylight Katy come on Daylight Katy come on If you can't follow me down Daylight Katy, go home Daylight Katy come on Daylight Katy come on If you can't follow me down Daylight Katy, go home
Angie ((Adapted from: Angie (by The Rolling Stones) - 1973)) Composer(s): Mick Jagger - Keith Richards - Christian Heilburg Performer(s): Jasmine Bonnin - 1973
Angie, Angie, was hast du aus dir gemacht? Angie, Angie, wer hat dich dazu gebracht? Dein Gesicht hast du geschminkt dass man dich kaum noch erkennt Und dein Blick sieht müde aus Angie, Angie, komm mit mir komm mit nach Haus
Angie, du bist noch jung ein ganzes Leben liegt vor dir Angie, doch sei nicht dumm gib was du hast nicht einfach her Jeder Rockband läufst du nach und bist stolz auf jede Nacht die du nicht allein bleibst Angie, Angie, irgendwann tut dir das leid
Oh, Angie, denk daran dass man so nicht leben kann ein paar Jahre noch vielleicht Angie, Angie, doch was hast du dann erreicht?
Jeder Rockband läufst du nach und bist stolz auf jede Nacht die du nicht allein bleibst Angie, du willst deine Freiheit und du rauchst und trinkst soviel dabei Und aus Gewohnheit, sagst du niemals nein Soll das deine Freiheit sein?
Angie, Angie, doch du siehst so müde aus Angie, Angie, komm mit mir komm mit nach Haus
Daylight Composer(s): Harold Payne; Bobby Womack Performer(s): Bobby Womack
Well, looks like I'm going again I can't seem to believe myself Here I go again here I go again here I go again listen to me now It's five o'clock am and the party is still going strong, there's a conversation going in the corner Big Ed is all on the lawn and the fm music is groovin' folks getting down getting down in their stocking feet sleepy eyes are peeping from the window across the street
(chorus) and it looks like daylight's gonna catch me up again most people like getting up when I'm just getting in oh it's the only only time it seems to be the only time when I can unwind
Swore to myself, time and time and time again that I would give up the night life and start layin' in but it ain't easy no no sayin' no to my friends 'cause the real cause the real set don't get started till everyone else is in
Up and down my back, my spine, in my brain It injures me, babe....
Anger, can make you old, yes it can I said anger, can make you sick, children... oh Jesus Anger destroys your soul Rage, there's no room for rage in there There's no room for rage in here line up some place to go to be mad It's a sin to treat your body bad
When anger really gets the best of us We've really lost our heads We often say a lof of things, oh darlin' Wish we'd never said Oh, reason is beyond control And the things we do spite Makes me ashamed And I mean this, baby, makes me want to the things right
Someday soon I hope and pray like Jesus I'll reach that wiser age Hope I will learn I really never never profit >From things I do in rage
One more time-anger, more ager When it's flaming hot Anger burns to the bitter end Know what i'm talkin' 'bout When it cools I find out too late I have lost at love, love, love, dear friend I said, anger will make you sick Children, oh Jesus Anger destroys your soul
I ain't gonna let you get the best of me, babe I'm gonna go somewhere and cool This is not the way my head's supposed to be, babe You've got me feelin' like some silly fool But I know a real nice place where I can go And feel the way i'm supposed to feel
I don't want to be mad at nobody I don't want to be feelin' bad Up and down my back, my spine, in my brain It injures me, babe
Anger, can make you old, yes it can I said anger will make you sick, children, oh Jesus Anger destroys your soul Anger Anger
Day-In Day-Out Composer(s): David Bowie Originally performed by: David Bowie
Day-In Day-Out Stay-In Fade-Out
Day-In Oo Oo Day-Out Oo Oo Oo
She was born in a handbag love left on a doorstep What she lacks is a backup nothing seems to make a dent Gonna find her some money honey try to pay her rent That's the kind of protection everyone is shouting about
Chorus: Day-In Day-Out Stay-In Fade-Out
Day-In Oo Oo Day-Out Oo Oo Oo
First thing she learns is she's a citizen, some things they turn out right When you're under the USA something rings a bell and it's all over She's going out her way stealing for that one good rush
Day-In Day-Out Stay-In Fade-Out
She could use a little money she's hangin' on his arms like a cheap suit she's got no money, honey she's the other side Oh come on little baby late night, big town, police, shake down
She's got a ticket to nowhere she's gonna take a train ride Nobody knows her, or knows her name she's in the pocket of a home boy Oo she's gonna take her a shotgun Pow spin the grail spin the drug She's gonna make them well aware she's an angry gal
Day-In Day-Out Stay-In Fade-Out
Suddenly there's angels everywhere Angels in a ton of sound And they shootin' her down Shootin her with video-drugs-bullets and promises
Angelus Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Desciendan de la Gloria legiones de arcángeles armados de cólera divina fieramente resueltos a expulsarnos del Paraíso Traspasen sus espadas de fuego nuestra sed de Conocimiento fruto creado para la profanación del mandato de quien los envía Desaten sus iras, alados ejércitos sin sexo ni cerebro, cobardes hermanos de quien osó Luzbel imitando al Creador, ser humano Ataquen inmaculadamente atacados por la envidia de no estar hechos a imagen y semejanza del Amo como tú hembra dulce de víboras manzanas como yo, tu fiel esclavo Qué si por castigo, compañera de pecado, debo amarte con sangre y con dolor hágase su Voluntad que aquí en la tierra como en el cielo de nuevo profanaremos el arcano de nuestra culpa carnívora sacralizando la humana pasión en las cloacas más infectas del destierro

I'm having day dreams bout night things In the middle of the after-noon And while my hands make a living my mind's home loving you I'm having day dreams about night things In the middle of the after-noon And every night you make my daydreams come true
Well all day long while I'm working in town Time slows down to a crawl When I'm not thinking about you I'm checking the clock on the wall Then it's goodbye factory and hello loving There's a smile across my face 'Cause I'm back in the arms of your sweet love Where my thought have been all day
I'm having day dreams bout night things In the middle of the after-noon And while my hands make a living my mind's home loving you I'm having day dreams about night things In the middle of the after-noon And every night you make my daydreams come true

Angel voices, hear them singing Angelus is ringing With the shadows, gently falling Homeward birds are winging Softly in the stillness of the evening gloam There's a voice I love that calls Come home, come home Angel voices, ever bringing Peace at close of day
Softly in the stillness of the evening gloam There's a voice I love that calls Come home, come home Angel voices, ever bringing Peace at close of day

Day Dreaming Composer(s): Aretha Franklin Originally performed by: Aretha Franklin Covered by various other artists
Daydreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you Daydreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you Daydreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you Daydreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you Look at my love blowing away He's the kind of guy that would say "Hey, baby let's get away Let's go some place, huh" Well I don't care He's the kind of guy that you give your everything You trust your heat, share all of your love Till death do you part
I want-to be what he wants When he wants it and whenever he needs it And when he's lonesome and feelin' love starved I'll be there to feed it I'm lovin him a little bit more each day Turns me right on when I hear him say Hey, baby, let's get away, Let's go somewhere far Daydreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you Daydreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you Daydreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you Daydreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you Look at my love blowing away Daydreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you

All night long I'm day-dreaming Day-dreaming of wonderful you Constantly I can see you before me Then we kiss and you whisper you adore me And though I know I'm only day-dreaming Please tell me I'm not play-dreaming Tell me I'm not wrong While I'm day-dreaming all night long
