The Light Comes From Within Performer(s): Linda McCartney
You say I'm lazy You say I don't fit Takes one to know one You make me sick You say I'm simple You say I'm a hick You're f***ing no one You stupid d**k Oppression won't win The light comes from within I need a sense of cause I wanna smell the flowers You need complete control You wanna build more towers You try to change me if you could I see the trees, you saw the wood You say I'm different You say we don't click I say you're crazy You make me sick I say you're greedy because you scheme You say I'm foolish because I dream Oppression won't win The light comes from within I need a sense of cause I wanna smell the flowers You need complete control You wanna build more towers I say you're greedy because you scheme You say I'm foolish because I dream Oppression won't win The light comes from within

Pourquoi dire adieu, tu reviendras
Tu dois partir Mais ça ne change rien pour nous Ton avenir peut bien t'entraîner loin de tout Pour toi Chaque instant de chaque jour Je serai là Tu sais le vide que tu laisseras mais Si tu as besoin de moi Souviens t'en Je t'attends
C'est pourquoi Ne pense pas que si le chagrin suit tes pas Il te faudra te consoler dans d'autres bras Pour toi Chaque instant de chaque jour je serai là Tu sais le vide que tu laisseras mais Nul ne te remplaceras Souviens t'en Je t'attends
Il suffira d'un mot de toi pour m'appeler Et je viendrai Puisque demain on doit se séparer tous deux Alors je veux te dire tout simplement ce que jamais Je n'ai voulu dire à personne Avant toi
Pour toi Chaque instant de chaque jour Je serai là Tu sais le vide que tu laisseras mais Si tu as besoin de moi Souviens t'en Je t'attends
Il suffira d'un mot de toi pour m'appeler Et je viendrai Puisque demain on doit se séparer tous deux Alors je veux te dire tout simplement ce que jamais Je n'ai voulu dire à personne avant Toi

One used to be the shotgun Two used to be the bad boogaloo Three used to be the swing shingaling Four used to be the funky four fingers
Down on Funky Street, diggin' the funky beat Down on Funky Street, that's where the grooviest people meet From Atlanta, Georgia, goin' on down to the border Every boy is dancin' with somebody's daughter
Groovin' in the city, got to get down with it Down on Funky Street we`re diggin that funky beat Down on Funky Street, that's where the grooviest people meet
Jump up and down and move all around Bend your knees half way down to the ground Move it to the west and to the south Turn it around and kick your partner in the mouth
Down on Funky Street, diggin the funky beat Down on Funky Street that's where the grooviest people meet Sweet soul music is in the air People are comin' from everywhere Comin' from the east, comin' from the west Dancin with the one they love the best
One, c'mon everybody, you got to hit the floor Three, c'mon baby and go with me Two used be the bad boogaloo One, got to have just a little fun
Down on Funky Street, diggin the funky beat Down on funky street, diggin the funky beat Down on ............................
The Letter That Never Reached Home Composer(s): Edgar Leslie - Bernie Grossman - Archie Gottler
Just after the fray where brave soldiers lay upon the field their comrades came to carry them away they picked up a note some poor fellow wrote they read it with a tear dimmed eye 'twas a soldier's last good bye
He's only just one a husband or son who knows but what he left before his work on earth was done but some one may yearn for some one's return and never know just where he went or the message that he sent
Just an old fashioned letter that lay on the ground it came from a soldier boy's heart before he ever could send it he had to end it "I love you" was all he could start It was found without an address not even a name, so his message will never be known only God in His might, know's who waiting tonight for the letter that never reached home
Chaque Fois Que J'aime
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Chaque fois que j'aime Tout m'enivre et tout me prends Pourtant c'est toujours pareil et différent
Chaque fois que j'aime Je redécouvre encore la vie Et je suis prêt à faire mille folies C'est comme un premier soleil qui me brûle Un de ces jours merveilleux de printemps Qui me tire d'un sommeil ridicule Le coeur battant Comme un enfant
Chaque fois que j'aime Je sais bien que c'est pour toujours Et je donne à coeur veux-tu de cet amour C'est toujours de même Je n'ai rien connu de plus beau Car chaque fois que j'aime c'est nouveau
Chaque fois que j'aime Tout en moi paraît anormal Et mon coeur frappe si fort qu'il m'en fait mal
Chaque fois que j'aime J'entre dans un monde fermé Où la raison d'être est aimer pour aimer Je perds la notion du temps et des choses Je rêve encore un peu plus chaque jour Et les questions que souvent je me pose Tournent autour De mon amour
Chaque fois que j'aime Mon bonheur me semble si grand Que je crois n'avoir jamais aimé autant C'est toujours de même J'arrête ma vie et le temps Car chaque fois que j'aime
Chaque fois que j'aime Chaque fois que j'aime J'ai vingt ans
Funky Fever Composer(s): Terry Ryan; John Sterling Performer(s): The Eric Burdon Band
I've been looking for my baby Since I don't know when Can't seem to hide this feeling I got deep down within
She took away my love She took away my pride She gives me funky fever I've got deep down inside
Sometimes she makes me happy sometimes she makes me blue She gives me funky fever Sometimes I get the funky flu
Now I don't need my baby 'Cause she told me what to do If you got that funky woman You get the funky fever, too
Hey, funky fever Hey, funky fever Love that woman, too She gives me funky fever Don't know what I'm gonna do I love that funky fever I love that woman, too I got that funky fever Gonna give it all to you

Chaque fois tu m' proposes une affaire en or Chaque fois ton occasion est un trésor Chaque fois ton crédit bat tous les records Es-tu vraiment garagiste ou sur de charité
Mais chaque fois la note est un peu plus salée Chaque fois pour une bougie encrassée Et chaque fois ma voiture ne fait pas l'été Sur l'autoroute, sur le bas côté Je suis en panne Et puis à marcher Vers la station qui va m'escroquer
Chaque fois je repars par le premier train Chaque fois deuxième classe avec puce à chien Chaque fois y a pire que moi mais je me plains On est toujours le pauvre de quelqu'un Je fais pas sale Je suis prêt à tuer Le premier qui viendra pour me remorquer
Chaque fois tu m' proposes une affaire en or Chaque fois ton occasion est un trésor Chaque fois ton crédit bat tous les records
Chaque fois tu m' proposes une affaire en or Chaque fois ton occasion est un trésor Chaque fois ton crédit bat tous les records

All movement is accomplished in six stages And the seventh brings return The seven is the number of the young light It forms when darkness is increased by one
Change return success Going and coming without error Action brings good fortune Sunset
The time is with the month of Winter Solstice When the change is due to come Thunder in the Earth, the course of Heaven Things cannot be destroyed once and for all
Change return success Going and coming without error Action brings good fortune Sunset... Sunrise...

The Lesson Composer(s): David M. Performer(s): Vikki Carr
This is the lesson taught to me A long time ago at my mother's knee She said, someday someone who loves you Will make you cry Though he loves you he'll hurt you Till you feel you could die But if he says forgive me Forgive if you can For you are his woman And he is your man When you're looking for roses There are thorns you will meet And remember my child Without any thorns the rose can't be sweet Well it's finally happened Now it's my turn to cry Oh my darling you've hurt me Till I feel I could die But you're saying forgive me And I understand For I am your woman And you are my man Don't tell me about heartache I've cried my share of tears I've had my share of rain But after the storm No rain will appear I just know when you hold me My whole world is complete And the lesson is clear Without any thorns the rose can't be sweet And the lesson is clear Without any thorns the rose can't be sweet

We're the leopards We're the leopards We're the leopards
The leader of the pack lives down in the local drain We're the leopards King Kong built a car inside his brain We're the leopards You tell me who's the sexiest But why it's Gardenia & the Mighty Slug
We're the leopards
Old Doug Henry lost an ear when he crossed my path We're the leopards Called himself Jesus, well that's what he said to me We're the leopards
I have never seen a freak look as weird as you Except for Gardenia and the Mighty Slug We're the leopards
Cycle Michael grotesque school desk in my brain We're the leopards Mincing Quincy dropping bop drops down the drain We're the leopards
I'll just tell you boy we're mean and we're tough Just like Gardenia and the Mighty Slug We're the leopards
I know that we know that he know it's wrong We're the leopards To spend your life inside a song
Greasy Gert tried it and she licked it too Just like Gardenia and the Mighty Slug We're the leopards
Uncle Bimbo drunk up the sea of Galilee And like a fool he promised it all to me But I'm young and built of steel Just like Gardenia and the Mighty Slug
Just like Gardenia and the Mighty Slug Just like Gardenia and the Mighty Slug

Det var en svart natt, kall natt, tusan till natt
Jag hade trånga skor
Det regna' hela dan så min keps blev för stor
Jag stannade till vid ett café och fick se Fred Astaire i kvällens =
repris
Dansa omkring bland nakna ben klädd som en miljonär
Chapeau-Claque och Cadillac
Blanka skor och frack
Har jag sett i filmer från Hollywood
Chapeau-Claque och Cadillac
Tjack med nagellack
Det är bra för killar i frack
Jag kom i säng sent, hem sent, tusan så sent
Och somna med n gång
Jag drömde att jag sjöng en ny Hollywoodsång
Jag dansade runt som Fred Astaire på en skär Broadway-scen
Jag gjorde succé
Tills jag blev väckt av telefon mitt i en snygg entré
Chapeau-Claque och Cadillac
Tjack med nagellack
Det är bra för killar i frack
Jag kom i säng sent, hem sent, tusan så sent
Och somna med n gång
Jag drömde att jag sjöng en ny Hollywoodsång
