Rudie Can't Fail - The Clash

Sing, Michael, sing

On the route of the nineteen bus

Hear them sayin'

How you get a rude and a reckless?

Don't you be so crude and feckless

You been drinking brew for breakfast

Rudie can't fail

We reply

I know that my life make you nervous

But I tell you that I can't live in service

Like the doctor who was born for a purpose

Rudie can't fail

I went to the market to realize my soul

What I need I just don't have

First they curse, then they press me till I hurt

We say Rudie can't fail

First you must cure your temper

Then you find a job in a paper

You need someone for a savior

Oh, Rudie can't fail

We reply

Now we get a rude and a reckless

We been seen lookin' cool an' speckless

We been drinking brew for breakfast

Rudie can't fail

I went to the market to realize my soul

'Cause what I need I just don't have

First they curse, then they press me till I hurt

Rudie can't fail

Okay! Okay!

So where you want to go today?

Hey boss man!

You're looking pretty smart

With your chicken skin suit

You think you're pretty hot

In the pork pie hat

Rudy can't fail

Rudy can't fail

Rudy can't fail

Rudy can't fail

Rudy can't fail

Rudy can't fail

Rudy can't fail

Rudy can't fail

Rudy can't fail

Rudy can't fail

Rudy can't fail

Rudy can't fail

Rudy can't fail

A horse with no name - America

On the first part of the journey

I was looking at all the life

There were plants and birds and rocks and things

There was sand and hills and rings

The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz

And the sky with no clouds

The heat was hot and the ground was dry

But the air was full of sound

I've been through the desert on a horse with no name

It felt good to be out of the rain

In the desert you can remember your name

'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain

La, la

After two days in the desert sun

My skin began to turn red

After three days in the desert fun

I was looking at a river bed

And the story it told of a river that flowed

Made me sad to think it was dead

You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name

It felt good to be out of the rain

In the desert you can remember your name

'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain

La, la

After nine days I let the horse run free

'Cause the desert had turned to sea

There were plants and birds and rocks and things

there was sand and hills and rings

The ocean is a desert with it's life underground

And a perfect disguise above

Under the cities lies a heart made of ground

But the humans will give no love

You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name

It felt good to be out of the rain

In the desert you can remember your name

'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain

La, la

Sexy Sadie - The Beatles

Under my Thumb - The Rolling Stones

Under my thumb

The girl who once had me down

Under my thumb

The girl who once pushed me around

It's down to me

The difference in the clothes she wears

Down to me, the change has come,

She's under my thumb

Ain't it the truth babe?

Under my thumb

The squirmin' dog who's just had her day

Under my thumb

A girl who has just changed her ways

It's down to me, yes it is

The way she does just what she's told

Down to me, the change has come

She's under my thumb

Ah, ah, say it's alright

Under my thumb

A Siamese cat of a girl

Under my thumb

She's the sweetest, hmmm, pet in the world

It's down to me

The way she talks when she's spoken to

Down to me, the change has come,

She's under my thumb

Ah, take it easy babe

Yeah

It's down to me, oh yeah

The way she talks when she's spoken to

Down to me, the change has come,

She's under my thumb

Yeah, it feels alright

Under my thumb

Her eyes are just kept to herself

Under my thumb, well I

I can still look at someone else

It's down to me, oh that's what I said

The way she talks when she's spoken to

Down to me, the change has come,

She's under my thumb

Say, it's alright.

Say it's all

Say it's all

Take it easy babe

Take it easy babe

Feels alright

Take it, take it easy babe.

The Dull Flame of Desire - Björk (& Antony)

I love your eyes, my dear

Their splendid sparkling fire

When suddenly you raise them so

To cast a swift embracing glance

Like lightning flashing in the sky

But there's a charm that is greater still

When my love's eyes are lowered

When all is fired by passion's kiss

And through the downcast lashes

I see the dull flame of desire

And through the downcast lashes

I see the dull flame of desire

I love your eyes, my dear

Their splendid sparkling fire

When suddenly you raise them so

To cast a swift embracing glance

Like lightning flashing in the sky

But there's a charm that is greater still

When my love's eyes are lowered

When all is fired by passion's kiss

And through the downcast lashes

I see the dull flame of desire

And through the downcast lashes

I see the dull flame of desire

I love your eyes, my dear

Their splendid sparkling fire

When suddenly you raise them so

To cast a swift embracing glance

Like lightning flashing in the sky

But there's a charm that is greater still

When my love's eyes are lowered

When all is fired by passion's kiss

And through the downcast lashes

I see the dull flame of desire

Through the downcast lashes

I see the dull flame of desire

I love your eyes, my dear

Their splendid sparkling fire

When suddenly you raise them so

To cast a swift embracing glance

Like lightning flashing in the sky

But there's a charm that is greater still

When my love's eyes are lowered

When all is fired by passion's kiss

And through the downcast lashes

I see the dull flame of desire

And through the downcast lashes

I see the dull flame of desire

And through the downcast lashes

I see the dull flame of desire

This One - Paul McCartney

Did I Ever Take You In My Arms,

Look You In The Eye, Tell You That I Do, 

Did I Ever Open Up My Heart 

And Let You Look Inside. 

If I Never Did It, I Was Only Waiting 

For A Better Moment That Didn't Come. 

There Never Could Be A Better Moment 

Than This One, This One. 

The Swan Is Gliding Above The Ocean, 

A God Is Riding Upon His Back, 

How Calm The Water And Bright The Rainbow 

Fade This One To Black. 

Did I Ever Touch You On The Cheek 

Say That You Were Mine, Thank You For The Smile, 

Did I Ever Knock Upon Your Door 

And Try To Get Inside? 

If I Never Did It, I Was Only Waiting 

For A Better Moment That Didn't Come. 

There Never Could Be A Better Moment 

Than This One, This One. 

The Swan Is Gliding Above The Ocean, 

A God Is Riding Upon His Back, 

How Calm The Water And Bright The Rainbow 

Fade This Swan To Black. 

What Opportunities Did We Allow To Flow By 

Feeling Like Like The Timing Wasn't Quite Right? 

What Kind Of Magic Might Have Worked If We Had Stayed Calm, 

Couldn't I Have Given You A Better Life? 

Did You Ever Take Me In Your Arms, 

Look Me In The Eye, Tell Me That You Do? 

Did I Ever Open Up My Heart, 

Let You Look Inside? 

If I Never Did It, I Was Only Waiting 

For A Better Moment That Didn't Come. 

There Never Could Be A Better Moment 

Than This One, This One. 

The Swan Is Gliding Above The Ocean, 

A God Is Riding Upon His Back, 

How Calm The Water And Bright The Rainbow 

Fade This Swan To Black.

Ashes to Ashes - David Bowie

                                 Do you remember a guy that's been 

In such an early song 

I've heard a rumour from Ground Control 

Oh no, don't say it's true 

They got a message from the Action Man 

"I'm happy, hope you're happy too 

I've loved all I've needed to love 

Sordid details following" 

The shrieking of nothing is killing 

Just pictures of Jap girls in synthesis and I 

Ain't got no money and I ain't got no hair 

But I'm hoping to kick but the planet it's glowing 

CHORUS 

Ashes to ashes, funk to funky 

We know Major Tom's a junkie 

Strung out in heaven's high 

Hitting an all-time low 

Time and again I tell myself 

I'll stay clean tonight 

But the little green wheels are following me 

Oh no, not again 

I'm stuck with a valuable friend 

"I'm happy, hope you're happy too" 

One flash of light but no smoking pistol 

I never done good things 

I never done bad things 

I never did anything out of the blue, woh-o-oh 

Want an axe to break the ice 

Wanna come down right now 

CHORUS 

REPEAT 

My mother said to get things done 

You'd better not mess with Major Tom
