Do It
Im walkin downtown
No lookin around
cause Im a fool and a half
Blessed and beaten by love
I walk in the direction
But then I stop the action
cause when I try to do it
My heart is gone, I blew it
Do it...do it...
Im going on and on, just on and on
Just walkin, talkin, not a winner at all
Im boozing, losing, getting out of control
She dances hip-hop, shes on the top
Im still a fool and a half, blessed and beaten by love
Do it...do it...
Im walkin back home
Keep lookin around
Still a fool and a half
Blessed and beaten by love
She walks in my direction
Why dont she start the action
I got no guts to do it
And then shes gone, I blew it
Do it...do it...

Beaten To The Punch
You say that you can and then you run to get your mummy
And youre almost beaten to the punch
Looking for the man who sold you the dummy
And youre almost beaten to the punch
Laughing at the older guys who say its just as well
Saved by the wedding bell
Almost beaten to the punch
Youre looking for somebody new that you can knock around
You are almost beaten to the punch
If youve got a head for figures then youd better count me out
You were almost beaten to the punch
You pulled the piece but you soon called it love
You go hand in glove
Almost beaten to the punch
Your body speaks much louder than your voice
You let it do the talking so I dont have any choice
Now you find the younger guys are putting up resistance
And youre almost beaten to the punch
You better get out now because youll never go the distance
And youre almost beaten to the punch
Youll find a girl and youll promise her anything
Even a wedding ring
Almost beaten to the punch

Half The World
Words by neil peart, music by geddy lee and alex lifeson
Half the world hates
What half the world does every day
Half the world waits
While half gets on with it anyway
Half the world lives
Half the world makes
Half the world gives
While the other half takes
Half the world is
Half the world was
Half the world thinks
While the other half does
Half the world talks
With half a mind on what they say
Half the world walks
With half a mind to run away
Half the world lies
Half the world learns
Half the world flies
As half the world turns
Half the world cries
Half the world laughs
Half the world tries
To be the other half
Half of us divided like a torn-up photograph half of us are
Trying to reach the other half
Half the world cares
While half the world is wasting the day
Half the world shares
While half the world is stealing away

Half The World
Half the world lives,
Half the world makes,
Half the world gives
While the other half takes.
Half the world hates,
Half the world runs away,
Half the world's late,
Half the world praises the day.
Half the world is,
Half the world was,
Half the world thinks,
Half the world does.
Half the world lies,
Half the world burns,
Half the world cries
While the other half turns.
Half the world cares,
Half the world weeps,
Half the world shares,
Half the world keeps.
Half the world sings,
Half the world laughs,
Half the world brings,
Half the world tries to be the other half.
End.
The Red Ring around the Sun
When the sun appears in morning
With red ring around it
Half red and half yellow
Is sign of coming up war?
The red ring is sign of blood
To be shed in battle
The half red is attacking side
The half yellow is defending side
In such morning
The war drum is beaten
Every man sharpens his spear
And be on maximum alert in Jonglei

Woman, Made a Punching Bag of Man
A woman, beaten by the cruel hands of her man
Beaten as she raises her voice to challenge his words
Beaten as she goes out to celebrate her freedom
Beaten as she refuses to do what he orders and wants.
And the battered woman accepts her tragic lot
Bearing the marks of violence on her own body
Longing for golden days of love and romance
Lamenting on her destiny as punching bag of man.

An enemy that is surprised is already half-defeated.
When I was born I was so surprised I didn't talk for a year and a half.

Beaten Into Sweetness
Beaten into sweetness.
Like grapes to produce,
A fine wine sipped.
Beaten into sweetness.
To allure and maintain,
A sizable profit held in a firm fist.
And every whiff of it sniffed,
Satisfied to the very last drop.
Beaten into sweetness.
Although a sadness carried,
Inside would not stop!

Who’ll Wear the Beaten Colours?
Who’ll wear the beaten colours—and cheer the beaten men?
Who’ll wear the beaten colours, till our time comes again?
Where sullen crowds are densest, and fickle as the sea,
Who’ll wear the beaten colours, and wear them home with me?
We closed the bars and gambling dens and voted straight and clean,
Our women walked while motor cars were whirling round the scene,
The Potts Point Vote was one for Greed and Ease and Luxury
With all to hold, and coward gold, and beaten folk are we.
Who’ll wear the beaten colours, with hands and pockets clean?
(I wore the beaten colours since I was seventeen)
I wore them up, and wore them down, Outback and across the sea—
Who’ll wear the beaten colours, and wear them home with me?
We wore them back from Ladysmith to where the peace was signed,
And wore them through the London streets where Jingoes howled behind.
We wore them to the Queen’s Hall, while England yelled “Pro-Boers!”
And sat them over victory while London banged the doors.1
We wore them from Port Arthur round till all sunk in the sea—
(Who’ll wear the white man’s colours, and wear them home with me?)
I’ve worn them through with gentlemen, with work-slaves and alone—
Who’ll wear the beaten colours, boys, and wear them on his own?
There’s one would look with startled eyes and shrink while I caressed,
Came I not with the colours of the conquered on my breast.
And twenty thousand Bushmen would stand with hands behind
And scorn in all their faces for the coward of his kind.
Who’ll wear the beaten colours and raise the voice they drowned—
It may be when we march again, they’ll bear some other sound—
Who’ll pin the beaten colours on and drive the beaten pen—
It may be other steel and ink when we march out again.

Half Moon Jammin
This is about Half Moon Open Mic Nights Harrow on the Hill
Mary Fairy not so scary
How do we count the ways?
We think you're swell
With drums and bells
Your 'parlour nights'
Make us feel bright
You sprinkle your fairy dust and charm
Your aim is for happiness
Not to cause harm
So next time you walk past 'Half Moon' look inside
You'll find merriment, talent, friendship and pride
We do what we do for the gifts we are sharing
But mostly we do it for you who are caring
You'd better be quick, it gets packed, you'll get shoved!
Don't take it personally, @ Half Moon we're all loved!
So next time you walk past the 'Jam Session @ Half Moon'
Come on in for a moment you'll be pleasantly surprised!
Keiran and Caithriona welcome one and all
and should you get tipsy they'll catch you if you fall!

He who is not beaten by the sun or the rain, will eventually be beaten by the hunger.
He surprised me by his familiarity with details of movements and battles which I did not suppose had come to his knowledge. As he kept me talking for over half an hour, I flattered myself that what I had to say interested him.

Too Beaten To Cry...
you watch them loading
all their belongings
in their battered old car...
half a tank of gas,
and nowhere to go...
and something inside you shudders,
can you feel your hands on the wheel...
do you then cry the tears
they're too beaten to cry?
