Who Gave It To Them?

Excuse me...
I am new in this neighborhood.
And...
Well,
I don't mean to be nosey...
But while I am at it,
I overhead you two saying...
Take back what belongs to you,
Am I right?

'Yeah.
And...? '

Well...
What is it that you wish to take back?
How did they get it in the first place?
Who gave it to them?
And where were you two,
When that happened?
And how do you know what they have,
Has not been given to someone else?

'You're right.
You are nosey.
And for your information...
What was taken from us...
Was taken from you as well.'

Oh?
I don't think so.
I wouldn't have allowed that.

'We're not talking about an 'identity'.
We're talking about the government.
We need to take it back.'

Well...
Again,
How did they get it in the first place?
Who gave it to them?
And where were you two,
When that happened?
And how do you know what they have,
Has not been given to someone else?

Give Back My Soul

Give back my soul,
You took it away one day,
Or I had given you,
On rent some day,
Give back my soul.

Life had happened before,
Life had happened since,
Life will happen henceforth,
But give back my soul.

The soul was my property sole;
The loss I would not bear
I have nobody to console,
Please give back my soul.

I want those happy days back,
I want those serene times back,
I want those joyous memories back,
Give back my Soul.

I know you won't come back,
For you have a life wonderful;
I know you won't look back,
For you have a companion cheerful;
Give back my soul.

Now people too say,
You were soulful once,
What happened?
You look soulless now,
Give back my soul.

My soul was mine.
I trusted you mine.
I gave you my soul.
Give back my Soul.

The body is dying.
The soul is flying.
The eternity shall happen;
For the sake of,
You and Mine.

Take Me Back (Deja Vu)

I thought I saw you from a distance
I swore I'd find you once again
Touched that feelin' for an instance
Could not recall just where or when
Oh no
Some desert island off Marocco
We had a love so hard to find
Oh so full of life, so free and easy
Another place, another time, oh
Take me back
I wanna be there with you
It happened just like that yeah
Slip in a dream or two
Come on, take me back
Oh, deja vu
One soul, one mind
One light that shines
One love so fine
Oh, come on, take me back
Some call it fate, some superstition
Some call it luck, it's all the same
Just one of the mysteries of creation
Something you feel but can't explain
Oh, take me back
I wanna be there with you
It happened just like that, baby
I've fallin' deep into
Oh girl, come on
I want you to take me there
Oh, I know, I know, I know, I know...
Come on, take me back, baby
I swear I've been with you
It happened just like that
Send me a dream or two
Come on take me back
Oh, deja vu

Swinging The Chain

Its against my uniform
To be a civil judge
All the songs are history now
'bout rock stars and their grudge
Let us cast our minds back
To thirty years or more
You took up all the vandals
Will hitler beat 'em all?
And were sad and sorry
Really sorry that it happened that way
Yes were sad and sorry
But whyd you have to treat us that way?
Compare ourselves with others
And cover them in sin
Oh, God what a terrible
A terrible state were in
There must be some way out of here
A comprimise thats right
If we cannot work it out
Were gonna have to fight
Yes were sad and sorry
Really sorry that it happened that way
Yes were sad and sorry
We cannot go on in those days
Im talking about my brothers
Yeah, Im talking 'bout sisters as well
I wish you good luck
Good luck!
Oh, but the worlds still on fire
Chain the hope you take on, liar
This fire
Were on fire, were on fire, yeah...

The Reason For The Split

To be in a relationship that ends,
For one to claim they do not know what happened...
Should not have been a relationship that began.

For someone not to be conscious,
Of their own relationship...
Could mean they do not wish to admit,
An activity or lack of providing it...
Was the reason for the split.

And...
If the other one involved in the same relationship,
Has a difficult time remembering it took place...
Well,
There is no need to continue a nosey probing.

Wouldn't You Agree

When i first met you
You stood by my side
And when you asked me to be yours
You made me cry
And so i was prepared
To take all the blows at the chin
But you never mentioned cheating
Please tell me what happened
What makes you think
You'd get away with that
Talking to my best friend
Behind my back
Look waht you did to us
Look what you did to me
What a wonderful love loss
Wouldn't you agree
She introduced me to you
Said you were just friends
She showed me you were the one for me until the end
Now i should have known
By the magic between you two
That angel faces like yours can lie too
Can lie too
Look what you did to us
Look what you did to me
What a wonderful love loss
Wouldn't you agree
Wouldn't you agree
Wouldn't you agree
Wouldn't you agree
Wouldn't you agree
When i see my friends
They've got to know
I not only lost a friend
But now my hearts about to explode
Now there's something i'd like to say before i make my alternative
Oh god
Oh god
Do you see that
Did you see that
There they go
There they go
How could you do this to me
You kept lyin in my face
I thought you were my best friend
Behind my back
Look what you've done to me
Can't believe what you've done to me
Wouldn't you agree
He was my friend
My heart's about to explode
Wouldn't you agree (to fade)

The Dark Day

A three-day-long rain from the east--
an terminable talking, talking
of no consequence--patter, patter, patter.
Hand in hand little winds
blow the thin streams aslant.
Warm. Distance cut off. Seclusion.
A few passers-by, drawn in upon themselves,
hurry from one place to another.
Winds of the white poppy! there is no escape!--
An interminable talking, talking,
talking . . .it has happened before.
Backward, backward, backward.

Back In Black (live 1981)

Back in black
I hit the sack
I've been too long I'm glad to be back [I bet you know I'm...]
Yes, I'm let loose
From the noose
That's kept me hanging about
I've been looking at the sky
'Cause it's gettin' me high
Forget the hearse 'cause I never die
I got nine lives
Cat's eyes
Abusin' every one of them and running wild
CHORUS:
'Cause I'm back
Yes, I'm back
Well, I'm back
Yes, I'm back
Well, I'm back, back
(Well) I'm back in black
Yes, I'm back in black
Back in the back
Of a Cadillac
Number one with a bullet, I'm a power pack
Yes, I'm in a bang
With a gang
They've got to catch me if they want me to hang
Cause I'm back on the track
And I'm beatin' the flack
Nobody's gonna get me on another rap
So look at me now
I'm just makin' my play
Don't try to push your luck, just get out of my way
CHORUS
Well, I'm back, Yes I'm back
Well, I'm back, Yes I'm back
Well, I'm back, back
Well I'm back in black
Yes I'm back in black
hooo yeah
Ohh yeah
Yes I am
Oooh yeah, yeah Oh yeah
Back in now
Well I'm back, I'm back
Back, I'm back
Back, I'm back
Back, I'm back
Back, I'm back
Back
Back in black
Yes I'm back in black
Out of the sight

What You Gave Me

(nickolas ashford/valerie simpson)
Youve given me so much warmth
I dont see how I could ever grow cold
In my mind theres a picture of you and i
That nobody has the price to buy
I dont know what made you change your mind
But youll be back
Its just a matter of time
cause what you gave me is more than enough to last
Ooh, baby
What you gave me is more than enough to last
Yeah, into my life you came
Like a breath of spring
Giving me a song to sing
Though I know youre leaving
But I wont be grieving
cause time has a way of showing us
The things that we really need
And no matter where you go
I know youll find your way back home
cause though I know its not reality
Youll always be a part of me
cause what you gave me is more than enough to last
What you gave me is more than enough to last
What you gave me
What you gave me is more than enough to last
Yes, yes its more
Its more than enough to last
Yes, yes its more
Its more than enough to last
What you gave me is more than enough to last
What you gave me is more than enough to last
What you gave me is more than enough to last
What you gave me is more than enough to last

Did Anyone Approach You

You never look up
You never look back
You never say anything based on fact
Youve got issues going way back
You never say hi
You never say much
You never make an effort to stay in touch
Ive got this feeling something happened here
Something happened here
Did anybody feel you?
Did anybody deal you?
Did anybody make you do some things now?
Did anyone approach you?
Did anybody coach you?
Did anybody tell you what to say now?
Hopeless - its not hopeless
Doubtful - but not hopeless at all
You never looked up
You never look back
You never did anything in between
Are things black and white with you
You never believed
You never belonged
Never made milestones to call your own
Ive got this feeling something happened here
Something happened here
Did anybody hide you?
Did anybody fight you?
Did anyone decide to do some harm now?
Did anybody read you?
Did anybody bleed you?
Did anybody feed you lots of junk now?
Hopeless - its not hopeless
Doubtful - but not hopeless
Hopeless - its not hopeless
Doubtful - but not hopeless at all
Hopeless - its not hopeless
Doubtful - but not hopeless at all
Something happened here
Something happened here

Aint Quite Right

You were standin and I was thinkin
Of all the time that I spend hangin around
Situation could only get better
I got closer to see what I found
In the mornin, movin easy
Everything seems so right
But when the night comes, Ive been dreamin
Dreamin bout leavin you one more time
Girl, you gave me good love
But it aint quite right
Mmm, no, I wont tell you
That youre the only one for me
And Id be a liar if I promised
I could give you every single thing you ever need
You gave me good love
But it aint quite right
Yeah, you gave me good love
But it aint quite right, mmm
Lookin back now seems so easy
You were the best thing ever happened to me
I cant complain
It was worth every minute we had
cause, you gave me good love
But it aint quite right
Yeah, you gave me good love
But it aint quite right

Some Things You Can't Take Back

Well she was lookin out the window
And I was starin at the door
The dog was sleepin on the sofa
This place has never been this quiet before
You cant pretend it never happened
You cant pretend its still the same
You cant say you were only jokin
You cant keep thinkin things can go on this way
CHORUS
Some things you cant take back
Though you wish you could
Some things you cant take back
Though the glass has been broke
And the milk has been spilled
And your loves on the line
Some things you cant take back
When someone says theres no tomorrow
When the writings on the wall
After all have cried and spoken
And your poor heart has taken such a fall
REPEAT CHORUS
If I could reset the clock and go back in time
Id erase the thoughts that went through my mind
You know I never would leave
And Id still have you with me
You cant pretend it never happened
You cant pretend its still the same
You cant say you were only jokin
You cant keep thinkin things can go on this way
REPEAT CHORUS
Some things you cant take back
Cause in the cold light of day the pieces all blew away
And now Im livin a lie
Some things you cant take back

Spread My Wings

why are you taking so long
you know the weather's already changed and
no need in talking too much
about the situation that happened
and I know it's implicitly said when I say
I don't want to argue no not today
and I tell you there is nothing left to say
let me be free and fly away

[Chorus]

sometimes I wish I could fly
spread my wings and sore away
and I'd never return back to this
crazy love life that always push
me away

you know I love you so much
but there's no need for me to keep waiting
no longer can you be trusted
I finally gave up on this love matter
and I really hate to leave but in this case
you broke my heart and now I feel disgrace
and I know somebody else is taking my place
unfortunately I know I can't stay

[Chorus (2x)]

I'm telling you this time I won't sit by no more baby
tell me what makes you do the things you do that
makes me wanna be free and all those times you lied
about the simple things

Whats Done is Done

A while back
A traumatic event took place
A father went beyond his limits
And a little girls life was changed forever
He was taken away
Never allowed to return again
As seven years pass he sits alone
Far away from his children
He cries and cries
Praying to get them back
its been so long
Its time to move on
Its time to stop living in the past
What happened is done and over
And nothing can change that
Whats done is done

My, my, my.
Well, I finished fooling 'round with you, pretty mama,
Finished fooling 'round with you.
No more wasting my time, baby, no more standing in line. And

You know I heard it in the news and it gave me the blues. You

People uptight and everywhere. And I'm shiftin' on, back to where
I once came from, yeah.
Ain't no lie, yeah, ain't it too bad, mama?
Too bad you're gonna cry.
Movin' on, oh yeah, now ain't it
too bad baby, Too bad I'm going
to cry. Wait, well I heard it on the news and it gave me the blues,
You know it ain't right, people are fighting every place I look, People uptight and everywhere, that's
why I'm shiftin' on,
Back to where I once came from,
lord I tell you no lie,
Ain't it too bad mama, hey, too
bad you're going to cry,
Too bad you're going to cry, too
bad you're going to cry,
Too bad you're going to cry baby, mm, ain't no lie, ha.
Ah, ah, yeah, that's why I'm shiftin' on, Back to where I belong, going
to leave you to cry.
