Watching Tv
We were watchin tv...watchintv
We were watchin tv...watchintv
In tiananmen square
Lost my baby there
My yellow rose
And her bloodstained clothes
She was a short order pastry chef
In a dim sum dive on the yangtze tideway
She had shiny hair
She was the daughter of an engineer
Wont you shed a tear
For my yellow rose
My yellow rose
And her bloodstained clothes
She had perfect breasts
She had high hopes
She had almond eyes
She had yellow thighs
She was a student of philosophy
Wont you grieve with me
For my yellow rose
Shed a tear
For her bloodstained clothes
She had shiny hair
She had perfect breasts
She had high hopes
She had almond eyes
She had yellow thighs
She was the daughter of an engineer
So get out your pistols
Get out your stones
Get out your knives
Cut them to the bone
They are the lackeys of the grocers machine
They built the dark satanic mills
That manufacture hell on earth
They bought the front row seats on calvary
They are irrelevant to me
And I grieve for my sister
People of china
Do not forget do not forget
The children who died for you
Long live the republic
Did we do anything after this
Ive a feeling we did
We were watchin tv...watchin tv
We were watchin tv...watchin tv
She wore a white bandanna that said
Freedom now
She thought the great wall of china
Would come tumbling down
She was a student
Her father was an engineer
Wont you shed a tear
For my yellow rose
My yellow rose
And her bloodstained clothes
Her grandpa fought old chiang kai-shek
That no-good low-down dirty rat
Who used to order his troops
To fire on the women and children
Imagine that imagine that
And in the spring of 48
Mao tse-tung got quite irate
And he kicked that old dictator chiang
Out of the state of china
Chiang kai-shek came down in formosa
And they armed the island of quemoy
And the shells were flying across the china sea
And they turned formosa into a shoe factory
Called taiwan
And she is different from cro-magnon man
Shes different from anne boleyn
She is different from the rosenbergs
And from the unknown jew
She is different from the unknown nicaraguan
Half superstar half victim
Shes a victor star conceptually new
And she is different from the dodo
And from the kankanbono
She is different from the aztec
And from the cherokee
Shes everybodys sister
Shes symbolic of our failure
Shes the one in fifty million
Who can help us to be free
Because she died on tv

The Chinese leadership hoped that the world would soon forget the Tiananmen Square massacre. Our job in Congress is to ensure that we never forget those who lost their lives in Tiananmen Square that day or the pro-democracy cause for which they fought.

Sky Full Of Angels
Preacher man talkin' 'bout the end of time
Well, Lord knows I'm ready it don't worry my mind
You see, I ain't 'fraid of nothin' because I believe
I got a sky full of angels watchin' over me
You can take my possessions
You can take all my gold
Nobody but Jesus gonna take my soul
Walk through darkness I don't need no light
My faith in Jesus gonna be my guide
You see, I ain't 'fraid of nothin' because I believe
I got a sky full of angels watchin' over me
You can take me for granted
You can take all my gold
Nobody but Jesus gonna take my soul
River's risin' but I've got no doubt
My sweet Saviour's gonna pull me out
You see, I ain't 'fraid of nothin' because I believe
I got a sky full of angels watchin' over me
You can take my possessions
You can take all my gold
Nobody but Jesus gonna take my soul

Speakin Out
I went to the movie the other night,
The plot was groovy, it was out of sight.
I sat with my popcorn, out lookin for good times
Lost in the cartoon, I grabbed the lifeline.
Ive been a searcher, Ive been a fool,
But Ive been a long time comin to you.
Im hopin for your love to carry me through
Youre holdin my baby, and Im holdin you,
And its all right.
Oh, tell me where the answer lies.
Is it in the notebook behind your eyes?
When your decision comes to view,
Ill be watchin my tv, and itll be watchin you.
Ive been a searcher, Ive been a fool,
But Ive been a long time comin to you.
Im hopin for your love to carry me through
Youre holdin my baby, and Im holdin you,
Yes I am.

Down At The Old Corral
It seems no matter how far I may roam
Like some ol' tumbleweed my thoughts go tumblin' back home
In memory I recall those simpler times
And a way of life I never left behind.
Down at the old corral
Just sittin'
Watchin' the sun go down
Oh, How I'm wishin' that I
Could be there now
Down at the old corral.
I remember everything I ever heard
Like how to judge a man's true worth by how he keep's his word
That saddle wisdom never seemed to end
Everything I need to know I learned back then.
Down at the old corral
Just sittin'
Watchin' the sun go down
Oh, How I'm wishin' that
I could be there now
Down at the old corral.

Come & Get It
Come and get it,
Girl don't be shy,
Baby come and get it.
Baby, baby i've been watchin' you watchin' me.
Secretly sending tender kisses casually,
Across this crowded room,
Your man doesn't notice you.
(you're so bold)
I guess that's how it goes.
Lady, lady it seems like he bores you to death.
You need to escape,
You need to enjoy yourself.
Ignore his wondering eyes,
He doesn't realize
You're gonna make your move.
Chorus:
Come and get it,
The lovin' you want is in me.
Come and get it,
I will love you faithfully.
Come and get it, girl don't be shy,
I swear you won't regret it . . .
Baby come and get it.
Tell me, tell me, woman if you'd like to pursue eternal pleasure,
Hand delivered from me to you.
Fulfill your fantasies, with 98 degrees.
(baby this is motown,
That's how it's going down).
Show me, show me everything that you'll sacrifice,
To come and get it, me....
I'm willing to spend my life,
To keep you comin',
Forever and always alright.
Starting with tonight.
Tonight's your night,
There's no need to worry.
Come get this love,
There's no need to hurry . . .
Come and get this love.

Shine On Sweet Jesus
(jesus song no. 5)
Waitin for my ride
Jesus is floatin outside
(shine on, sweet jesus, on me)
Watchin the water rise
Im gettin lost in the tide
(cry all your teardrops on me)
While Im still myself,
Your blankets covered me
Covered me while I was still asleep
Watchin the planets shine
Reflecting yourself in the sky
(shine on, sweet jesus, on me)
Scraping these smiles of mine
Impossible one at a time
(cry all your teardrops on me)
While Im still myself,
Your blankets covered me
Covered me while I was still asleep
Jesus is at my side,
Wondering what he will find
(shine on, sweet jesus, on me)
Watchin the water rise
Im gettin lost in the tide
(cry all your teardrops on me)
While Im still myself
Your blankets covered me
Covered me while I was still asleep

Stop This Drink
War again started in this
Starry night…..
When yellow snow
fall on our window....
Dark hair fall on this pillow
Stop my baby
Peep this window
Stop my darling
Keep the door open for run....
A bloodstained man run for life…
Stop my baby stop this drink
Keep my breast free for run…
A bloodstained fight
Not care
how you cry and plead.....
Child you made seed on sin
Born for this
A war not far, man and man
A war you and she …..
a war between the man and the her
There is a war between
that ones who say there is not a war
Keep the door open for a run
A bloodstained man come for life…
Stop my baby stop this drink
Keep my breast free for run…
A bloodstained fight
Not care how you cry and plead

You Shouldn't Kiss Me Like This
(toby keith)
I've got a funny feeling
The moment that your lips touched mine
Something shot right through me
My heart skipped a beat in time
There's a different feel about you tonight
It's got me thinkin' lots of crazy things
I even think i saw a flash of light
It felt like electricity
You shouldn't kiss me like this
Unless you mean it like that
Cause i'll just close my eyes
And i won't know where i'm at
We'll get lost on this dance floor
Spinnin' around
And around
And around
And around
They're all watchin' us now
They think we're falling in love
They'd never believe we're just friends
When you kiss me like this
I think you mean it like that
If you do maybe kiss me again
Everybody swears we make the perfect pair
But dancing is as far as it goes
Girl you've never moved me quite
The way you moved me tonight
I just wanted you to know
I just wanted you to know
You shouldn't kiss me like this
Unless you mean it like that
Cause i'll just close my eyes
And i won't know where i'm at
We'll get lost on this dance floor
Spinnin' around
And around
And around
And around
They're all watchin' us now
They think we're falling in love
They'd never believe we're just friends
When you kiss me like this
I think you mean it like that
If you do baby kiss me again
Kiss me again

Sleeper Train
Written by dewey bunnell, bill mumy, and robert haimer, 1994
Found on hourglass.
I was on a sleeper train
Bound for anywhere
And I was gazin out the window
In a long stare
Watchin the sage brush go by
And a pink and yellow sky
Thinkin bout your eyes
Feelin good to be alive
I was dreamin of you
Feelin lucky
I was dreamin of you
Feelin lucky
And I was watchin the towns drift into view
Listenin to my thoughts of you
And the rhythm of the wheels
And the shadows on the hills
Leavin one more life behind
Never knowin what Id find
Such a distant great expanse
And the dust-devils, they dance
And I was dreamin of you
Feelin lucky
I was dreamin of you
Feelin lucky
Abandon everything that went before
Ahead now lies another open door
Abandon everything that went before
I was on a sleeper train
Bound for anywhere
And I was gazin out the window
In a long stare
Watchin the sage brush go by
And a pink and yellow sky
Thinkin bout your eyes
Feelin good to be alive
I was dreamin of you
Feelin lucky
I was dreamin of you
Feelin lucky
I was dreamin of you
Feelin lucky
I was dreamin of you
Feelin lucky
The train kept rollin

Every Little Thing She Does
(jeffrey steele/al anderson/bob dipiero)
Ooh, when I see her in my tee shirt
Brushin her teeth, dancin to the radio
Ooh, her coffee and her kissin
The way she looks at me, I hate to see her leave
But I sure love watchin her go
Every little thing she does
Every little thing she does
I keep fallin in love with every single simple
Ordinary little thing she does
Ooh, paintin on her toenails
Watchin tv, got her mama on the telephone
Ooh, in a corner at a party
She puts down her drink, gives me a little wink
And says wait til I get you home
Every little thing she does
Every little thing she does
I keep fallin in love with every single simple
Ordinary little thing she does
Listenin to her breathe, watchin her when she sleeps
The bubbles in her bath, the funny little laugh
Oh yea, oh yea, oh yea
Every little thing she does
Every little thing she does
I keep fallin in love with every single simple
Ordinary little thing she does

Grondad's Lullaby
Sleep bonny babby, thi grondad is near,
Noa harm can touch thee, sleep withaat fear;
Innocent craytur, soa helpless an waik,
Grondad wod give up his life for thy sake,
Sleep little beauty,
Angels thee keep,
Grondad is watchin,
Sleep, beauty, sleep.
Through the thick mist of past years aw luk back,
Vainly aw try to discover the track
Buried, alas! for no trace can aw see,
Ov the way aw once trod when as sinless as thee,
Sleep little beauty,
Angels thee keep,
Grondad is watchin,
Sleep, beauty, sleep.
Smilin in slumber,--dreamin ov bliss,
Feelin in fancy a fond mother's kiss;
Richer bi far nor a king on his throne,
Fearlessly facing a future unknown.
Sleep little beauty,
Angels thee keep,
Grondad is watchin,
Sleep, beauty, sleep.
What wod aw give could aw once agean be,
Innocent, spotless an trustin as thee;
May noa grief give thee occasion to weep,
Blessins attend thee!--Sleep, beauty, sleep.
Sleep little beauty,
Angels thee keep,
Grondad is watchin,
Sleep, beauty, sleep.

smilin' from her head to her feet;
I said, "Hey, what is this?

Maybe we can see things the same."

Let's move before they raise the parking rate."
Ohh

Are you tryna' put me to shame?"

IT’S singin’ in an’ out,
An’ feelin’ full of grace;
Here ’n’ there, up an’ down,
An’ round about th’ place.
It’s rollin’ up your sleeves,
An’ whit’nin’ up the hearth,
An’ scrubbin’ out th’ floors,
An’ sweepin’ down th’ path;
It’s bakin’ tarts an’ pies,
An’ shinin’ up th’ knives;
An’ feelin’ ’s if some days
Was worth a thousand lives.
It’s watchin’ out th’ door,
An’ watchin’ by th’ gate;
An’ watchin’ down th’ road,
An’ wonderin’ why he’s late;
An’ feelin’ anxious-like,
For fear there’s something wrong;
An’ wonderin’ why he’s kep’,
An’ why he takes so long.
It’s comin’ back inside
An’ sittin’ down a spell,
To sort of make believe
You’re thinkin’ things is well.
It’s gettin’ up again
An’ wand’rin’ in an’ out;
An’ feelin’ wistful-like,
Not knowin’ what about;
An’ flushin’ all at once,
An’ smilin’ just so sweet,
An’ feelin’ real proud
The place is fresh an’ neat.
An’ feelin’ awful glad
Like them that watch’d Silo’m;
An’ everything because
A man is comin’ Home!

Tougher Than The Rest
(bruce springsteen)
Well its saturday night
Youre all dressed up and blue
Ive been watchin you go out
Maybe you been watchin me too
So somebody ran out
Left somebodys heart in a mess
Well if youre lookin for love
Honey Im tougher than the rest
Some girls they want a handsome dan
Or some good-lookin joe
On their arms some girls want
A sweet talkin romeo
Well round here baby
Ive learned you get what you can get
So if youre rough enough for love
Honey, Im tougher than the rest
Yeah, the road is dark
And its a thin, thin line
But I want you to know
Ill walk it for you anytime
Maybe your other girlfriends
Couldnt pass the test
Well if youre rough and ready for love
Honey Im tougher than the rest
Well it aint no secret
Ive been around a time or two
Well, I dont know, baby
Maybe youve been around too
But theres another dance, baby
All you got to do is say yes
And if youre rough and ready for love
Honey Im tougher than the rest
