Business On The Street
Business On The Street
Composer(s): Stephen Stills
Performer(s): Stephen Stills & Manassas
Don't put your business in the street
Your brothers and sisters is about all you need
No tellin' who you might meet
It might make you sad, make you feel mad
Make you blue, what are you gonna do
The biggest fool of all is me
I play the music for the music you see
For money I do publicity
So I can buy guitars, put a studio in the backyard
You know what it costs me to find another key
And when you get a little bit older
You're carryin' too much weight on your shoulder
Share your heavy load come on over
So we go and see, what you're gonna be
Don't try too hard, don't you break your heart
Oh yes, wrong, right
I'm tellin' ya, tell me
Gonna be all right
Gonna be all right

Life Is Just What You Make It
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
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
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

Buscándonos
Buscándonos
Composer(s): Pablo Guerrero
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

Busca La Gente De Mañana
Busca La Gente De Mañana
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
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'
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
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
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

I was lost on a winding road
I thought that life had nothing left to give
Then you came and showed me that just to live
Was the greatest gift of all
And you showed me
Life is a celebration
And Lord, I'm gonna celebrate
Don't you know that life is a celebration
So come on now and celebrate, celebrate
Life is a celebration
Look it's a revelation
So celebrate now, celebrate life, yeah
Celebrate now, celebrate life, yeah
How could I have been so blind?
Just to think that we were living to die
Then you came along and I was no longer alone
And you lead me to the light
And you showed me
Life is a celebration
And Lord, I'm gonna celebrate
Don't you know that life is a celebration
So come on now and celebrate, celebrate

Bus Rider
Composer(s): Kurt Winter
Performer(s): The Guess Who
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
(Bus rider) Mmm, no I don't wanna ride

Life In The Fast Lane
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
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
