2. RIVERS OF BABYLON



By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down
ye-eah we wept, when we remembered Zion.
By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down
ye-eah we wept, when we remembered Zion.
When the wicked
Carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song
Now how shall we sing the lord's song in a strange land
When the wicked
Carried us away in captivity
Requiering of us a song
Now how shall we sing the lord's song in a strange land
Let the words of our mouth and the meditations of our heart
be acceptable in thy sight here tonight
Let the words of our mouth and the meditation of our hearts
be acceptable in thy sight here tonight
By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down
ye-eah we wept, when we remembered Zion.
By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down
ye-eah we wept, when we remembered Zion.
By the rivers of Babylon (dark tears of Babylon)
there we sat down (You got to sing a song)
ye-eah we wept, (Sing a song of love)
when we remember Zion. (Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)
By the rivers of Babylon (Rough bits of Babylon)
there we sat down (You hear the people cry)
ye-eah we wept, (They need that ???)
when we remember Zion. (Ooh, have the power)

3. HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THE RAIN

Someone told me long ago
They were gone before the storm
I know, it's been coming for sometime
Be it so, and so I say
Little rain and sun by day
I know, shining down like water

I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain
Coming down, down this day
Coming down, down this day

Yes for days and days before
Sun is rain and cold is hot
I know, in this place got all my found
Through the circles fast and slow
There for every moment goes
I know, I can't stop, I wonder

I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain
Coming down, down this day
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain
Coming down, down this day
I wanna know

4. RASPUTIN



Their lived a certain man
In Russia long ago
He was big and strong in his eyes a flaming glow
Most people looked at him
With terror and with fear
But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear
He could preach the bible like a preacher
Full of ecstasy and fire
But he also was the kind of teacher
Woman would desire.

Ra-Ra-Rasputin
lover of the Russian queen
There was a cat that really was gone
Ra-Ra-Rasputin
Russia's greatest love-machine
It was a shame how he carried on.

He ruled the Russian land
And never mind the Czar
But the Kasatschok he danced really wunderbar
All affairs of state
He was the man to please
But he was real great when he hand a girl to squeeze
For the queen he was no wheeler dealer
Though she heard the thing's he'd done
She believed he was a holy healer
Who would heal her son.

Ra-Ra-Rasputin
lover of the Russian queen
...

But when his drinkin' and lusting
and his hunger for power
Became know to more and more people
The demand to do something about this outrageous man became
Louder and louder

Hey
hey
hey...

This man just gotta go
Declared his enemies
But the ladies begged "don't you try to do it please"
No doubt this Rasputin
Had lots of hidden charms
Though he was a brute they just fell into his arms
Then one night some men of higher standing
Set a trap they're not do blame
Come to visit us they kept demanding
And he really came.

Ra-Ra-Rasputin

Lover of the Russian queen
They put some poison into his wine.
Ra-Ra-Rasputin
Russia's greatest love-machine

He drank it all and said: "I feel fine."

Ra-Ra-Rasputin
lover of the Russian queen
They didn't quit
they wanted his head
Ra-Ra-Rasputin Russia's greatest love-machine
And so they shot him till he was dead.

Oh
those Russians

5. NO WOMAN NO CRY




No woman no cry
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
Cause I remember when we used to sit
In a government yard in Trench town
Observing the hypocrites
Mingle with the good people we meet
Good friends we have, now
Good friends we have lost
Along the way
In this great future,
You can't forget your past
So dry your tears, I say

No woman no cry
No woman no cry
Oh little darling, don't shed no tears
No woman no cry
Cause I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trench town
When Georgie would make the fire lights
I say, log wood burnin' through the nights
Then we would cook cornmeal porridge
Of which I'll share with you
My feet is my only carriage
So I've got to push on thru,
And while I'm gone
Everything 's gonna be alright
Everything 's gonna be alright
Everything 's gonna be alright now
Everything 's gonna be alright
Everything 's gonna be alright now
Everything 's gonna be alright
No woman no cry

No woman no cry
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
Oh little darlin' don't shed no tears
No woman no cry
Oh little darlin' don't shed no tears
No woman no cry

Said I re, said I re, Said I remember
No woman no cry

You and I and you and I and you and I
No woman no cry

Cause I remember when we used to sit there
No woman no cry
In a government yard

No woman no cry
No woman no cry
No woman no cry, yeah
No woman no cry

No woman no cry (you sweet darling)
No woman no cry

No woman no cry, yeah
No woman no cry
No woman no cry, yeah
No woman no cry

No woman no cry

6. MA BAKER





Freeze, I'm Ma Baker - put your hands in the air Gimme all your money!
This is the story of Ma Baker - the meanest cat from ol'
Chicago town.

She was the meanest cat in old Chicago town
She was the meanest cat she really mowed them down
She had no heart at all no
no
no heart at all

Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Baker
she taught her four sons
Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Baker to handle their guns
Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Baker
she never could cry
Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Baker
but she knew how to die

She left a trail of crime across the USA
And when one boy was killed she really made them pay
She had no heart at all no
no
no heart at all

Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Baker
she taught her four sons
. . .

She met a man she liked she thought she'd stay with him
One day he fought with them they did away with him
She didn't care at all
just didn't care at all

Here is a special bulletin.
Ma Baker is the FBI's most wanted woman. Her photo is hangin'
On every post office wall. If you have any information about
This woman please contact your nearest police station . . .

Don't anybody move
the money or your lives.

One day they robbed a bank it was their last hurray
The cops appeared too soon they couldn't get away
And all the loot they had it made them mighty mad
And so they shot it out
Ma Baker and her sons
They didn't want to hang
they died with blazing guns
And so the story ends of one who left no friends

Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Baker
she taught her four sons
. . .

7. LADY GODIVA



Her name was Lady Godiva
A lady so brave and so strong
Her husband the Earl of Mercia
He treated her terribly wrong
She's a lady
She's a lady
She rode naked on horseback
To stop him from his tax increase
But people in town closed their curtains
Than prison for living in peace
*She's a lady
She's a lady
She's a lady, Lady Godiva
The hero of Coventry
L-L-Lady Lady Godiva
She rode into history
Then sneaking a glance through the window
Was a guy they called Peeping Tom
He caught a glimpse and was blinded
Curiosity sometimes is wrong
*(repeat)
People liked Lady Godiva
Respectfully looking away
They honoured incredible courage
Her legend lives until today
*(repeat, repeat)

8. LET IT ALL BE MUSIC



Music is a mirror
Near around my soul
Music is the spirit
Come on let it roll
Music is my nature
People have you heard
Music is my future
Music is the world
Let it all be music
People sing a song
Let it all be music
Let us sing it on and on and on
Let's play the music
My kind of music
Let's play the music
Play it on and on and on and on
Music isn't somewhere
Music turns you right
Music is a fever
Leads you day and night
Music is like heaven
Where you wanna be
Music is religion
Music set's you free
Let it all be music
People sing a song
Let it all be music
Let us sing it on and on and on
Let's play the music
My kind of music
Let's play the music
Play it on and on and on and on
Music is tomorrow
Music is today
Music is forever
Music is the way
Music is for women
Music is for men
Music is for children
Sing it all again
Let it all be music
People sing a song
Let it all be music
Let us sing it on and on and on
Let's play the music
My kind of music
Let's play the music
Play it on and on and on and on....

10. 10,000 LIGHT YEARS




10.000 Light years somewhere out in space
They practice love and they know what it takes
No competition and no jealousy
Living in freedom and humanity
10.000 Light years away, light years away far from pain
Came to a place full of [grace and OF PEACE?
10.000 Light years away from our fear
Suddenly it's ringing in my ears
Why is it now I don't wanna be here
I feel like flow in that clock at the wall
God, how I wish that this dream would go on
10.000 Light years away, light years away far from pain
Came to a place full of grace and of peace
10.000 Light years away from our fear
10.000 Light years somewhere out in space (10.000 Light years)
10.000 Light years somewhere out in space (10.000 Light years)
10.000 Light years somewhere out in space (10.000 Light years)
10.000 Light years somewhere out in space (10.000 Light years)

11. RIDE TO AGADIR



They rode in the morning
Casablanca to the west
On the Atlas Mountain foothills leading down to Marakesh
For Mohammed and Morocco
We had taken up our guns
For the ashes of our fathers and the children of our sons.
For the ashes of our fathers and the children of our sons.
In the dry winds of summer
They were sharpening the blades.
They were riding to act upon the promise we had made.
With the fist and the dagger
With the rifle and the lance
We will suffer no intrusion from the Infidels of France.
We will suffer no intrusion from the Infidels of France.
Ride, ride, ride, ride to Agadir.
Ride, ride, ride, ride to Agadir.
They could wait no more
In the burning sands on the ride to Agadir.
Ride, ride, ride, ride to Agadir.
Like the dogs of war
For the future of this land on the ride to Agadir.
Ride, ride, ride, ride to Agadir.
Though they were waiting
And they were fifty to our ten
They were easily outnumbered by a smaller force of men.
As the darkness was falling
They were soon to realize
We were going to relieve them of their God-Forsaken lives.
We were going to relieve them of their God-Forsaken lives.
They could wait no more
In the burning sands on the ride to Agadir.
Ride, ride, ride, ride to Agadir.
Like the dogs of war
For the future of this land on the ride to Agadir.
Ride, ride, ride, ride to Agadir.
They rode in the morning
Casablanca to the west
On the Atlas Mountain foothills leading down to Marakesh
For Mohammed and Morocco
We had taken up our guns
For the ashes of our fathers and the children of our sons.
For the ashes of our fathers and the children of our sons.

12. WHERE DID YOU GO


I'm looking out the window pane
And I hear the sound of pouring rain
But you're not here
Where did you go
I wanna know what made you go away
What went wrong?
I'm looking out my window pane
And I hear the sound of pouring rain
There's no-one here to laugh with me
To make the dark clouds disappear
My love, what went wrong?
Where did you go - there is no answer
I need you now much more that ever
Where did you go - why can't you be with me
Where did you go - we were so tender
Where did you go - why not surrender
Only you can set me free
I'm looking out my window pane (Oh yes)
And I hear the sound of pouring rain
I think of you, of someone who can
Always count on love so true
And I'm here - where are you?
Tell me...
I think of you, of someone who can
Always count on love so true
And I'm here - where are you?
Where did you go - there is no answer
I need you now much more that ever
Where did you go - why can't you be with me
Where did you go - we were so tender
Where did you go - why not surrender
Only you can set me free
Where did you go - there is no answer
I need you now much more that ever
Where did you go - why can't you be with me
Where did you go - we were so tender
Where did you go - why not surrender
Only you can set me free
