I can't stop sweating or control my feet
Got a twenty-stone monkey that I just can't beat
I can stage a situation, but I just can't eat
And there's a feeling you're replacing embrace
It's true that

All I do is sit and think about you
If I knew what you'd do
Collapse my veins, wearing beautiful shoes
It's not living, if it's not with you

who is that?  or who dat?

And there were so many fewer questions
When stars were still just the holes to heaven

[LeviF]

I must confess, I didn't recognize you tonight
Dressed up like my love.
And I hate these things but I always attend
A little sip of something to take off the edge
And I make my way through the ghosts in the room
Trying to crack a smile

And who are you supposed to be?
You look like heaven tonight
Me, I'm a tomb, a corpse in a suit,
Trying to look a little alive
Are you alright?
'Cause I worry sometimes
Are you dressed up to take my life?

Step one, you say we need to talk
He walks, you say sit down, it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left, and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
You begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

[WhoTom]

I'm a lumberjack, and I'm okay.
I sleep all night and I work all day.

[muppy]

Da Da, ooooh

 

Well, my friends, the time has come
To raise the roof and have some fun
Throw away the work to be done
Let the music play on (play on, play on, play on...)
Everybody sing, everybody dance
Lose yourself in wild romance
We're going to Party, Karamu, Fiesta, forever
Come on and sing along!
We're going to Party, Karamu, Fiesta, forever
Come on and sing along!

 

All night long (all night), All night (all night)
All night long (all night), All night (all night)
All night long (all night), All night (all night)
All night long! (all night), Ooh, yeah (all night)

[WhoTom]

Well, tell him this is his last chance

To get his daughter in a fine romance
Because a record company, Rosie

Just gave me a big advance

Well, she was standing at the load-in when the trucks rolled up
She was sniffing all around like a half-grown female pup
She wasn't hard to talk to, looked like she had nowhere to go
So I gave her a pass so she could get in and see the show

Well, I sat her down right next to me and I got her a beer
While I mixed that sound onstage so the band could hear
The more I watched her watch 'em play, the less I thought of to say
And when they walked off stage, the drummer swept that girl away

But Rosie, you're all right, you wear my ring
When you hold me tight, Rosie, that's my thing
When you turn out the light, I got to hand it to me
Looks like it's me and you again tonight, Rosie

Come in with the sunrise, gone with the wind
Devil in your eyes, pocket full of sin

 

Fire can't melt you when your mind's made up
Ice can't cool you, naughty little pup

[PastaJoe]

Train roll on
On down the line, won't you
Please take me far away

Now I feel the wind blow
Outside my door, means I'm
I'm leaving my woman at home, Lordy

 

Tuesday's gone with the wind
Oh, my baby's gone, with the wind

[WhoTom]

Big locomotive right on time
Big locomotive coming down the line
Big locomotive number 99
Left the engineer with a worried mind

[PastaJoe]

You know I need your love
You've got that hold over me
Long as I've got your love
You know that I'll never leave
When I wanted you to share my life
I had no doubt in my mind
And it's been you, woman
Right down the line

[muppy]

Oh, my love, my darling
I've hungered for your touch, a long lonely time
And time goes by, so slowly and time can do so much
Are you, still mine?
I need your love, I need your love
God speed your love to me.

[Joe Ferguson forever]

Them belly full, but we're hungry
A hungry mob is a angry mob
A rain a-fall, but the dirt, it tough
A yet I yoke, but the yield no nuff

You're gonna dance to Jah music, dance (big up, big up, big up-)
We're gonna dance to Jah music, dance

Another banger 'pon your place (oh, yeah)
You get this feeling anytime you give it a listen
'Cause Jah music and the melody
And rhythm to expand your vision
Anytime you wanna let go of what you're keeping in
Help it down with some likkle youth
And-a wake up in a new dimension

[PastaJoe]

Listen
Do you want to know a secret?
Do you promise not to tell?
Whoa, oh, oh

Closer
Let me whisper in your ear
Say the words you long to hear
I'm in love with you
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh ooh

[WhoTom]

Say the word and you'll be free
Say the word and be like me
Say the word I'm thinking of
Have you heard the word is love?

[PastaJoe]

Free as a bird
It's the next best thing to be
Free as a bird
Home, home and dry
Like a homing bird I'll fly
As a bird on wings

[muppy]

I wish that I could fly
Into the sky
So very high
Just like a dragonfly
I'd fly above the trees
Over the seas
In all degrees
To anywhere I please
Oh

[WhoTom]

Oh, I would go anywhere

Anytime
(Anywhere, anytime)
Oh, I would do anything

Anyway
Anyhow

[PastaJoe]

If you need somebody to love
Just look into my eyes
I'll be there to make you feel right
If you're feeling sorry and sad
I'd really sympathize
Don't you be sad, just call me tonight

Any time at all, any time at all
Any time at all, all you gotta do is call
And I'll be there
