    Life Is Just What You Make It
    Composer(s): Alan Osmond - Merrill Osmond
    Performer(s): Donny Osmond



    Baby, I've been thinkin', and I've finally made up my mind
    Baby, I've been lookin', and you know there's one thing that I find

    That life is just what you make it
    life is just what you want it to be
    Life, don't think I can take it
    unless you could spend it with me

    Baby, since I met you, I just can't get you out of my mind
    Lately, if I'm not with you, I feel like I'm wasting my time

    'Cause life is just what you make it
    life is just what you want it to be
    Life, don't think I can take it
    unless you could spend it with me

    Walkin' in the noonday sunshine
    together we will pass the time
    Sittin' 'neath the moon just dreamin'
    with you, girl, just us two girl

    Oh yeah.... oh yeah.....

    With you, girl, just us two girl
    I'm no fool, girl

    'Cause life is just what you make it
    life is just what you want it to be
    Life, don't think I can take it
    unless you could spend it with me

    Oh, life is just what you make it ...

    Business Is Business
    Composer(s): John Kay
    Performer(s): John Kay & Company



    I was told I had to grease his palm
    To walk from school without the fear of harm
    He knocked me down and took my dollar from me
    And then he lay these pearls of wisdom on me
    He say; Business is business, nothing is free
    Business is business, don't you blame me
    Business is business, you've got to pay
    Business is business, can't get away
    Business is business, a man's gotta live
    And what I can take is more than you'd give
    Nothing has changed since I left school behind
    The bullies now just all wear suits and ties
    They'll buy you lunch to get that dollar from you
    And then they'll lay the mumbo-jumbo on you
    Business is business, nothing is free
    Business is business, don't you blame me
    Business is business, you've got to pay
    Business is business. can't get away
    Business is business, don't call me a crook
    It's perfectly legal, I go by the book

    Life Is Just A Bowl Of Cherries
    Composer(s): Ray Henderson - Lew Brown
    Performer(s): Rudy Vallée
    and multiple other artists



    People are queer, they're always crowing, scrambling and rushing about
    Why don't they stop someday, address themselves this way?
    Why are we here? Where are we going? It's time that we found out
    We're not here to stay; we're on a short holiday

    Life is just a bowl of cherries
    Don't take it serious; it's too mysterious
    You work, you save, you worry so
    But you can't take your dough when you go, go, go

    So keep repeating it's the berries
    The strongest oak must fall
    The sweet things in life, to you were just loaned
    So how can you lose what you've never owned?
    Life is just a bowl of cherries
    So live and laugh at it all

    Life is just a bowl of cherries
    Don't take it serious; it's too mysterious
    At eight each morning I have got a date
    To take my plunge 'round the Empire State
    You'll admit it's not the berries
    In a building that's so tall
    There's a guy in the show, the girls love to kiss
    Get thousands a week just for crooning like this
    Life is just a bowl of ... aw, nuts!
    So live and laugh at it all!

    Life is a song, let's sing it together
    Let's take our hearts and dip them in rhyme
    Let's learn the words, let's learn the music together
    hoping the song last for a long, long time

    Life is a song that goes on forever
    Love's old refrain can never go wrong
    Let's strike the note Mendelssohn wrote concerning spring weather
    Let's sing together and make life a song

    Performer(s): Joan Manuel Serrat



    Qué de temblor de peces
    hay en tus ojos
    cuando penetro en ti
    -buscándote, buscándote-
    granizada de luz
    en mi noche de agosto

    Qué temblor de manantiales
    hay en tu boca
    cuando bebo de ti
    un buen sorbo de besos
    Qué de temblor de risa
    hay en tus manos
    cuando vienen a mí
    - buscándome, buscándome-
    para exigir al mundo
    nuestra ración de dicha

    Qué de temblor de vida
    hay en nosotros
    cuando nos descubrimos
    buscándonos, buscándonos
    hasta sentirnos uno
    nuestros, resucitados

    Performer(s): Pablo Guerrero



    Nada es fácil y tampoco la vida
    son tan duras las horas, tan largas las esperas
    que andas así, bailando
    como un pez en la mano o un papel en el fuego

    Que este tiempo sólo y sólo de nieblas
    nunca consiga paralizar tus pasos
    y andes así encerrado
    como el mar en las conchas o el grito en las
    campanas

    Busca la gente de mañana
    la que tiene en sus manos las olas de la vida

    Life Is A Minestrone
    Composer(s): Eric Stewart - Kevin Godley - Lol Creme
    Performer(s): 10cc



    I'm dancing on the White House lawn
    Sipping tea by the Taj Mahal at dawn
    Hanging round
    The gardens of Babylon
    Minnie Mouse has got it all sewn up
    She gets more fan mail than the Pope
    She takes the mickey out of all my phobias
    Like signing cheques to ward off double pneumonia
    Life is a minestrone
    Served up with Parmesan cheese
    Death is a cold Lasagne
    Suspended in deep freeze
    I'm leaning on the Tower of Pisa
    Had an eyeful of the tower in France
    I'm hanging round
    The gardens of Madison
    And the seat of learning
    And the flush of success
    Relieves a constipated mind
    I'm like a gourmet
    In a skid row diner
    A fitting menu for a dilettante
    Life is a minestrone
    Served up with Parmesan cheese
    Death is a cold Lasagne
    Suspended in deep freeze
    Love is a fire of flaming brandy
    Upon a crepe suzette
    Let's get this romance cooking, honey
    But let us not forget
    Life is a minestrone
    Served up with Parmesan cheese
    Death is a cold Lasagne
    Suspended in deep freeze

    Wenn Ich Je Deine Liebe Verlier'
    Composer(s): Hanne Haller; Bernd Meinunger
    Performer(s): Rex Gildo



    Manchmal schien das Ende ganz nah
    und wir haben's doch geschafft
    Irgendwo war immer ein Weg
    um weiter zu geh'n

    Wir zwei teilten Sorgen und Streit
    bis zur Grenze uns'rer Kraft
    Manchmal
    glaub ich
    konntest du mich nicht mehr versteh'n

    Meistens hast du lächelnd verzieh'n
    und nur einmal gingst du fort
    Ich weiß
    was es heißt
    ohne dich zu sein

    Du
    wenn ich je deine Liebe verlier

    dann bleibt nur noch die Trauer in mir
    und der Rest geht mit dir
    Du
    wenn ich je deine Liebe verlier

    mach' ich weiter und leb' wie bisher

    doch ich weiß nicht wofür

    Glaub' mir
    ich leb'
    weil es dich gibt
    Ich könnt allein nicht halb so glücklich sein

    Du
    wenn ich je deine Liebe verlier

    dann stirbt auch mein Vertrauen zu dir

    das darf niemals gescheh'n

    Liebe
    das ist Schatten und Licht
    Beides haben wir gehabt

    und die Spur der Jahre mit dir lebt tief in mir

    Denn was ich dir sagte

    das hab' ich noch keiner sonst gesgat
    und bei keiner hatt' ich je Angst
    sie zu verlier'n

    Es wird nicht immer leicht für uns sein

    doch zusammen sind wir stark
    Es liegt nur an uns
    was die Zukunft bringt

    Du
    wenn ich je deine Liebe verlier
    ...

    Glaub' mir
    ich leb'
    weil es dich gibt ...

    Du
    wenn ich je deine Liebe verlier
    ...
    Du
    wenn ich je deine Liebe verlier
    ...
    ub' mir
    ich leb'
    weil es dich gibt ...

    Du
    wenn ich je deine Liebe verlier

    Life Is A Highway
    Composer(s): Tom Cochrane
    First release by: Tom Cochrane - 1991



    Life's like a road that you travel on
    When there's one day here and the next day gone
    Sometimes you bend sometimes you stand
    Sometimes you turn your back to the wind
    There's a world outside every darkened Door
    Where blues won't haunt you anymore
    Where the brave are free and lovers soar
    Come ride with me to the distant shore
    We won't hesitate break down the garden gate
    There's not much left today

    Life is a highway
    I want to ride it all night long
    If you're going my way
    I want to drive it all night long

    Through all the cities and all these towns
    It's in my blood and it's all around
    I love you now like I loved you then
    This is the road and these are the hands
    From mozambique to those memphis nights
    The khyber pass to vancouver's lights
    Knock me down get back up again
    You're in my blood I'm not a lonely man

    There's no load I can't hold
    Road so rough this I know
    I'll bee there when the light comes in
    Tell 'em we're survivors

    Life is a highway
    I wanna ride it all night long
    If you're going my way
    I wanna drive it all night long

    Life is a highway
    I wanna ride it all night long
    If you're going my way
    I wanna drive it all night long

    There was a distance between you and I
    A misunderstanding once but now
    We look it in the eye

    There's no load I can't hold
    Road so rough this I know
    I'll be there when the light comes in
    Tell 'em we're survivors

    Life is a highway
    I wanna ride it all night long
    If you're going my way
    I wanna drive it all night long

    Life is a highway
    I wanna ride it all night long
    If you're going my way
    I wanna drive it all night long

    Life is a highway
    I wanna ride it all night long
    If you're going my way
    I wanna drive it all night long

    Bus Stop
    French Title: Arrêt D'autobus
    Composer(s): Graham Gouldman
    Originally performed by: The Hollies Covered by various other artists



    Bus stop, wet day, she's there, I say
    Please share my umbrella
    Bus stop, bus goes, she stays, love grows
    Under my umbrella

    All that summer we enjoyed it
    Wind and rain and shine
    That umbrella, we employed it
    By August, she was mine

    Every morning I would see her waiting at the stop
    Sometimes she'd shopped and she would show me what she bought
    Other people stared as if we were both quite insane
    Someday my name and hers are going to be the same

    That's the way the whole thing started
    Silly but it's true
    Thinkin' of a sweet romance
    Beginning in a queue

    Came the sun the ice was melting
    No more sheltering now
    Nice to think that that umbrella
    Led me to a vow

    Every morning I would see her waiting at the stop
    Sometimes she'd shopped and she would show me what she bought
    Other people stared as if we were both quite insane
    Someday my name and hers are going to be the same

    Bus stop, wet day, she's there, I say
    Please share my umbrella
    Bus stop, bus goes, she stays, love grows
    Under my umbrella

    All that summer we enjoyed it
    Wind and rain and shine
    That umbrella, we employed it
    By August, she was mine

    Get up in the morning, get on the bus
    Get up in the morning like the rest of us
    Places to go, important people to meet
    Better not get up or you might lose your seat

    (Bus rider)

    Leave the house at six o'clock to be on time
    Leave the wife and kids at home to make a dime
    Grab your lunch pail, check for mail in your slot
    You won't get your cheque if you don't punch the clock

    (Bus rider)

    (Bus rider)

    Grab the evening paper and sit down in your chair
    Grab yourself a toupee 'cause you're losin' your hair
    Doesn't matter what you do, you've nothin' to lose
    I'm so awful goddamn glad I'm not in your shoes

    (Bus rider)

    (Bus rider) You know you'll ride it every single mornin' today
    (Bus rider) Ride, ride, little man
    (Bus rider) I don't wanna ride, no I don't wanna ride
    (Bus rider) Get up in the morning, get on the bus
    (Bus rider) Oh, little man ridin' upside down, yeah

    Life In The Fast Lane
    Composer(s): Joe Walsh - Glenn Frey - Don Henley
    First release by: Eagles - 1976



    He was a hard-headed man he was brutally handsome
    And she was terminally pretty
    She held him up and he held for ransom
    In the heart of the cold, cold city
    He had a nasty reputation as a cruel dude
    They said he was ruthless said he was crude
    They had one thing in common: they were good in bed
    She'd say, "Faster, faster" "The lights are turning red"

    Life in the fast lane Surely make you lose your mind
    Life in the fast lane

    Eager for action and hot for the game
    The comming attraction, the drop of a name
    They knew all the right people; They took all the right pills
    They threw outrageous parties; They paid heavenly bills
    There were lines on the mirror, lines on her face
    She pretended not to notice she was caught up in the race
    Out every evenin' until it was light
    He was too tired to make it; she was too tired to fight about it.

    Life in the fast lane surely make you lose your mind
    Life in the fast lane
    Life in the fast lane everything all the time
    Life in the fast lane

    Blowin' and burnin' blinded by thirst
    They didn't see the stop sign; Took a turn for the worst
    She said, "Listen, baby
    You can hear the engine ring
    "We've been up and down this highway; haven't seen a god-damn thing"
    He said, "Call the doctor
    I think I'm gonna crash"
    "The doctor say he's coming but you gotta pay in cash"
    They were rushing down that freeway; Messed around and got lost
    They didn't care they were just dyin' to get off

    And it was life in the fast lane
    Surely make you lose your mind
    Life in the fast lane
    Life in the fast lane everything all the time
    Life in the fast lane

    Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee
    Composer(s): Buffy Saint-Marie
    Performer(s): Buffy Saint-Marie; Indigo Girls



    Indian legislation on the desk of a do-right Congressman
    Now, he don't know much about the issue
    so he picks up the phone and he asks advice from the
    Senator out in Indian country
    A darling of the energy companies who are
    ripping off what’s left of the reservations
    Huh

    I learned a safety rule
    I don’t know who to thank
    Don't stand between the reservation and the corporate bank
    They send in federal tanks
    It isn’t nice but it’s reality

    Chorus:
    Bury my heart at Wounded Knee
    Deep in the Earth
    Cover me with pretty lies
    bury my heart at Wounded Knee
    Huh

    They got these energy companies that want the land
    and they’ve got churches by the dozen who want to guide our hands
    and sign Mother Earth over to pollution, war and greed
    Get rich... get rich quick

    Chorus

    We got the federal marshals
    We got the covert spies
    We got the liars by the fire
    We got the FBIs
    They lie in court and get nailed
    and still Peltier goes off to jail

    Chorus

    My girlfriend Annie Mae talked about uranium
    Her head was filled with bullets and her body dumped
    The FBI cut off her hands and told us she’d died of exposure
    Loo loo loo loo loo

    Chorus

    We had the Goldrush Wars
    Aw, didn’t we learn to crawl and still our history gets written in a liar’s scrawl
    They tell ‘ya “Honey, you can still be an Indian d-d-down at the ‘Y’ on Saturday nights”

    Bury my heart at Wounded Knee
    Deep in the Earth
    Cover me with pretty lies
    Bury my heart at Wounded Knee
    Huh!

    Life In The Bloodstream
    Composer(s): Burton Cummings
    Performer(s): The Guess Who



    You don't believe that this whole universe
    Could be inside your little sister's purse
    You don't believe you're just a living glob
    Like Lucy, Freddy, Ricky, Frank and Bob

    We're life in the bloodstream, baby
    That's the natural progression
    We're life in the bloodstream
    I hope the little boy don't fall and skin his knee

    Ain't it hard when you discover
    Your energy has to leave you for another
    Don't it make you wanna lay down and cry
    When they tell you it's time you have to die

    We're life in the bloodstream, baby
    That's the natural progression
    We're life in the bloodstream
    I hope the little boy don't fall and skin his knee

    We're life in the bloodstream, baby
    That's the natural progression
    We're life in the bloodstream
    I hope the little boy don't fall and skin his knee

    With God, Oh-oh-oh yeah
    I said alright
    My soul, my soul, my soul
    Is gonna live, with God

    Life In London
    Composer(s): Pat Travers
    Performer(s): Pat Travers



    Life in London is bittersweet
    Spray can slogans along the street
    Some kind of revolution in the town
    Razor blades and safety pins make you look like a clown

    What's goin' down
    Is just the same old sound
    You know that energy
    Has always been my drug for me

    And I came across a lot of water
    Just to see if it could be
    The place to go, the life for me
    I changed my dollars into pounds
    And now that drink is gonna cost me 50p.

    But the District Line just doesn't seem
    To be going as far as I'd like to go today

    And I've met a lot of great people
    I guess that's one thing that will never change
    People are people wherever you go
    Now you wanna know why, it's cuz I'm telling you so

    But I'd like to see, some peace and harmony
    Well, everybody thinks differently
    But that shouldn't mean a thing
    Shouldn't mean a thing

    Pack up my suitcase, I gotta go
    Back to a land that I think I know
    Bring some things with me
    Leave something behind
    Oh, Life in London's at the back of my mind

    But the District Line just doesn't seem
    To be going as far as I'd like to go today

    Bury Me Standing
    Composer(s): Gerrit Graham; Bob Weir
    Performer(s): Bob Weir & RatDog



    Once again the crossroads
    Ain't no moon shinin' through the trees
    Goddess lost my number, babe
    Left me begging, baby please
    Bury me standing
    I've been too long on my knees

    Angel and the devil, babe
    They be walking side by side
    Hammer on each other, babe
    Never one be satisfied
    Bury me standing
    Just the last place left to hide

    Nothing you can figure, babe
    Nothing you can fix
    Ain't much of nothing, babe
    Just a couple tricks

    Ooh - now I know you know that song
    Bury me standing
    I've been crawling way too long

    Got a fist full of trouble, babe
    And one more will get you three
    Whole lot of shakin' peaches, babe
    Poison peaches, trouble tree
    If I change my way of living
    Well it would mean so much to me

    Blue smoke in the bar room
    Tattooed muscle, beer for beer
    Brown bottles and whiskey, babe
    Got a pay phone to my ear
    Woman made me love her
    Now some dude tells me she ain't here

    Give me whisky for whisky
    Give me blow for blow
    Give me whole lot of nothing baby
    But to go down slow

    Give me fire for fire
    Give me ice for ice
    Give me something to live for baby
    Now I'm asking nice

    Ooh - Goddamn eternal tease
    Bury me standing
    I been too long on my knees
    Bury me at the crossroads
    Lay me down and let me be

    Once again the crossroads
    And there ain't no moon shinin' through the trees
    Goddess tossed my number, babe
    Left me begging, baby please
    Bury me standing
    I been a lifetime on my knees
    Bury me at the crossroads
    Lay me down and let me be

    Let me be
    Lay me down and let me be
    Let me be
    Let me be
    Lay me down and let me be
    Let me be
    Lay me down and let me be
