BLACK GOLD
Two boys on a playground
Tryin' to push each other down
See the crowd gather 'round
Nothing attracts a crowd like a crowd
Black gold in a white plight
Won't you fill up the tank, let's go for a ride
I don't care 'bout no wheelchair
I've got so much left to do with my life
Moving backwards through time
Never learn, never mind
That side's yours, this side's mine
Brother you ain't my kind
You're a black soldier, white fight
Won't you fill up the tank, let's go for a ride
Sure like to feel some pride
But this place just makes me feel sad inside
Mother, do you know where your kids are tonight?
Keeps the kids off the streets
Gives 'em something to do, something to eat
This spot was a playground
This flat land used to be a town
Black gold in a white plight
Won't you fill up the tank, let's go for a ride
Sure like to feel some pride
But this place just makes me feel sad inside
Black gold in a white plight
Won't you fill up the tank, let's go for a ride
I don't care 'bout no wheelchair
I've got so much left to do with my life
SEE
YOU LATER
I guess I'll see you later
Sweet manipulator
And how I thank you dearly
For helping me see clearly
Yes sir, no sir, let me go
Sir I don't even want to know
Sir i've had all I can take today
But I found out so long ago
It don't matter if it shows
And it's up in the air tonight
Yes, it's up in the air tonight
And now your anticipating
That nostalgia's waiting
And with your social statement
Boxed up in the basement
Yes mam, no mam, let me go
Mam, I don't even give a damn
Mam I suppose i'll stand another day
I put my practice, by my plans
I hope this flight it never lands
And its up in the air tonight
Yes, its up in the air tonight
Cos' I got all night
Lie here on the floor
I got all night
Just like the night before
So make it soon
And I guess i'll see you later
I guess i'll see you later
WITHOUT A TRACE
I fell in love with a hooker,
she laughed in my face
So seriously I took her,
I was a disgrace
I was out of line,
I was out of place
Out of time to save face
See the open mouth of my suitcase
Sayin' leave this place
Leave without a trace, leave without a trace
Leave without a trace
I tried to get a good job
With honest pay
I might as well join the mob
The benefits are okay
Standing in the sun with a popsicle
Everything is possible
With a lot of luck and a pretty face
And some time to waste
Leave without a trace, leave without a trace
Leave without a trace
I tried to dance at a funeral, New Orleans style
I joined the Grave Dancer's Union, I had to file
Trying to do the right thing, play it straight
The right thing changes from state to state
Don't forget to take your mace
If you're out walking late
I liked to see your face
You left without a trace
Leave without a trace
LOSIN' IT
Go ahead, spit it out, I can take it,
Don't do this don't do that, try and fake it,
I, I, I have seen it all
Tell me there's something wrong, make me see it,
How i try i must be wrong, it must be me
I, I, I have been wrong before
And I confess, that I am having a hard time
And I confess, that your hard time's harder than mine
When its over, when its over, I'm coming over,
Use your shoulder, soon be over
But I'm losin' it, losin' it, losin' it, losin' it, losin'
it, losin' it
Suck it up rip it out, still i'm learnin'
Light it up put it out, keep it burnin'
I, I, I've been burned before
Come on out I know you can make me happy
Little smile just ahead, make it happen
I, I, I have smiled before
And I confess, that I am having a hard time
And I confess, that your hard time's harder than mine
When its over, when its over, I'm coming over,
Use your shoulder, soon be over
But I'm losin' it, losin' it, losin' it, losin' it, losin'
it, losin' it
I'm losin' it, losin' it, losin' it, loose it, loose it,
losin' it
I am having a hard time
SOMEBODY TO SHOVE
Grandfather watches the grandfather clock
And the phone hasn't rang for so long
And the time flies by like a vulture in the sky
Suddenly he breaks into song
I'm waiting by the phone
Waiting for you to call me up and tell me I'm not alone
I'm waiting by the phone
Waiting for you to call me up and tell me I'm not alone
Hello, speak up, is there somebody there?
These hang-ups are getting me down
In a world frozen over with over-exposure
Let's talk it over, let's go out and paint the town
I'm waiting by the phone
Waiting for you to call me up and tell me I'm not alone
Cause I want somebody to shove
I need somebody to shove
I want somebody to shove me
You're a dream for insomniacs, prize in the Cracker Jacks
All the difference in the world is just a call away
And I'm waiting by the phone
Waiting for you to call me up and tell me I'm not alone
Yes I'm waiting by the phone
I'm waiting for you to call me up and tell me I'm not
alone
Cause I want somebody to shove
I need somebody to shove
I want somebody to shove me
Yes I want somebody to shove
I need somebody to shove
I want somebody to shove me
JUST LIKE ANYONE
She walks into the outhouse
The cold night breathes into her face
The flies are standing still now
The moon it spills through the place
And she starts wondering
What it's like to be liked by everyone
And like everyone be just like anyone
And just wants to be so just like anyone
She reaches through the darkness
Her fingers touch the porcelain seat
She spins and pulls her pants down
The cold air holds her like a theif
She starts wondering what they mean,
do they just mean to be mean
And thinking about the scene,
do they just want to be seen
And trying not to seem so just like anyone
The door comes screeching open
She walks into the evening air
She disappears in the darkness
All that's left's the faint smell of her hair
She's done wondering what it's like to be liked by everyone
And like everyone be just like anyone
And just wants to be so just like anyone
And wondering what they mean,
do they just mean to be mean
And thinking about the scene,
do they just want to be seen
And trying not to seem so just like anyone,
just like anyone...
The Tracks
of My Tears
(Robinson, Tarplin, Moore)
People say I´m the life of
the party
'Cause I laugh and tell a joke or two
Although I smile and my laugh may be hearty
Deep inside I´m feeling blue
So take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
I need you
If you see me with another guy
Looking like I'm havin' fun
May be cute
He's just a substitute
'Cause you know that you're 're the only one
So take a good look at my face
You see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer i'´s easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
Now outside
I'm masquerading
Inside
My hope is fading
I'm just a clown since you put me down
My smile is my makeup
I wear since my break-up with you
Take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
RUNAWAY
TRAIN
Call you up in the middle of the night
Like a firefly without a light
You were there like a blowtorch burning
I was a key that could use a little turning
So tired that I couldn't even sleep
So many secrets I couldn't keep
I promised myself I wouldn't weep
One more promise I couldn't keep
It seems no one can help me now,
I'm in too deep, there's no way out
This time I have really led myself astray
Runaway train, never going back
Wrong way on a one-way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here nor there
Can you help me remember how to smile?
Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
How on earth did I get so jaded?
Life's mystery seems so faded
I can go where no one else can go
I know what no one else's known
Here I am just a-drownin' in the rain
With a ticket for a runaway train
And everything seems cut and dried,
Day and night, earth and sky,
Somehow I just don't believe it
Runaway train, never going back
Wrong way on a one-way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here nor there
Bought a ticket for a runaway train
Like a madman laughing at the rain
A little out of touch, a little insane
It's just easier than dealing with the pain
Runaway train, never going back
Wrong way on a one-way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here nor there
Runaway train, never coming back
Runaway train, tearing up the track
Runaway train, burning in my veins
I run away but it always seems the same
WE 3
I was tapping my foot on a Friday night
To my favorite band I was pushed aside
I said "hey don't push me no one pushes me"
When I was face to face with the woman I admired
And she gave me this look I could not believe
And the cold stare remained; I wanted to leave
See, I do believe anger is offset by sorrow
But you destroy today you might regret tomorrow
When you're young and defensive it comes off offensive
And it's hard to repay the tolerance that you borrowed
The lasting relationship sinks right off the pier
Who wears the pants; it's faded but clear
She's your girlfriend, seems she ain't too fond of me
I guess if that's the way it was meant to be
There we were, just we three
You, your girlfriend, and me
I've known you forever, you two just met
So easily amused; how fast we forget
In my jealously, my self-righteous greed
She's a bit like a book I'm too far sighted to read
And I wish you the best, I sometimes feel the need
To say remember me
She's your girlfriend, as far as we can see
Does she look at you the way she looks at me
And here we are, just we three
You, your girlfriend, and me
She's your girlfriend, it's getting harder to see
Better just take her home, better just let her be
When she walks out that door, you'll come looking for
me

Aand when I get that feeling
I want sexual healing, sexual healing baby

Helps to relieve the mind

THE
GAME
My friends wife she plays the game
Plays it with me all the time
Makes me feel pretty good, I guess
Hey, that's a pretty dress
But you shouldn't
Have no you shouldn't have
Let me know
No, you shouldn't have
Really shouldn't have
Let it shown
Oh, play with me
Don't play with me
Don't play
Oh, play with me
Don't play with me
Don't play
Don't you want to play the game
If I were a renegade
Can you walk a county line
Well I have to cross it now
I got yours and you got mine
But you shouldn't have
No, you shouldn't have
Let it go
Oh, play with me
Don't play with me
Don't play
Oh, play with me
Don't play with me
Don't play
Don't you want to play the game
Jealousy is just a game
It ties you up and wraps around your brain
It makes you feel like you might hurt yourself
Ah, make you feel insane
Ah, play with me
Don't play with me
Don't play
Ah, play with me
Don't play with me
Don't play
Don't you want to play the game
I CAN SEE CLEARLY NOW
(Johnny Nash)
I can see clearly now the rain is gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It's gonna be a bright bright bright sun shiny day
It's gonna be a bright bright bright sun shiny day
I think we can make it now the rain
is gone
All of my bad feelings have disappeared
Here is that rainbow i've been praying for
It's gonna be a bright bright bright sun shiny day
Look all around nothing but blue
skies
Look straight ahead nothing but blue skies
I can see clearly now the rain is
gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Here is that rainbow i've been praying for
It's gonna be a bright bright bright sun shiny day
It's gonna be a bright bright bright sun shiny day
It's gonna be a bright bright bright sun shiny day

TO SIR WITH LOVE
Don Black / Marc London
The time has come
For closing books, and long last looks must end
And as I leave
I know that I am leaving my best friend
A friend who taught me right from wrong
And weak from strong
That’s a lot to learn
What, what can I give you in return?
If you wanted the moon
I would try to make a start
But i, would rather let me give my heart
To you, with love
Those schoolgirl days
Of telling tales and biting nails are gone, yeah
But in my mind
I know that they live on and on and on and on
But how do you thank someone
Who has taken you from crayons to perfume?
Well it’s not easy
But I’ll try
If you wanted the sky
I would write across the sky in letters
That would soar a thousand feet high
To you, with love
Those awkward years have hurried by
Why did they fly, fly away
Why is it sir children, grow up to be people one day?
What takes the place of climbing tres and dirty knees
in the world outside?
What, what is there that I can buy?
If you wanted the world
I’d surround it with a wall I’d scrawl
These words withe letters ten feet tall
To you, with love
RHINESTONE COWBOY
(Larry Weiss)
I've been walkin' these streets so long
Singin' the same old song
I know every crack in these dirty sidewalks of Broadway
Where hustle's the name of the game
And nice guys get washed away like the snow and the rain
There's been a load of compromisin'
On the road to my horizon
But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Getting cards and letters from people I don't even know
And offers comin' over the phone
Well, I really don't mind the rain
And a smile can hide all the pain
But you're down when you're ridin' the train that's takin'
the long way
And I dream of the things I'll do
With a subway token and a dollar tucked inside my shoe
There'll be a load of compromisin'
On the road to my horizon
But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo
Rhinestone cowboy
Gettin' cards and letters from people I don't even know
And offers comin' over the phone
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Gettin' card and letters from people I don't even know
