Time In Babylon

(Emmylou HarrisJill Cunniff)
Five-lane highway danger zone
SUV and a speaker phone
You need that chrome to get you home
Doin' time in Babyion
Cluster mansion on the hill
Another day in Pleasantville
You don't like it take a pill
Doin1 time in Babyion
In the land of the proud and free
You can sell your soul and your dignity
For fifteen minutes on TV
Doin'time in Babyion
So suck the fat, cut the bone
Fill it up with silicone
Everybody must get cloned
Doin' time in Babyion
Little Boy Blue come blow your horn
The crows are in the corn
The morning sky is red and falling down
The piper's at the till
He's coming for the kill
Luring all our children underground in Babyion
We came frorn apple pie and mom
Thru Civil Rights and Ban the Bomb
To Watergate and Vietnam Hard times in Babyion
Rallied 'round the megaphone
Gave it up, just got stoned
Now it's Prada, Gucci and Perron
Doin' time in Babyion
Get results, get 'em fast
We're ready if you got the cash
Someone else will be laughin' last
Doin' time in Babyion
So put that conscience on the shelf
Keep the best stuff for yourself
Let the rest fight over what is left
Doin' time in Babyion
Little Boy Blue come blow your horn
The crows are in the corn
The morning sky is red and falling down
Let your song of healing spark
A way out of this dark
Lead us to a higher and a holy ground

Doin' Alright

Yesterday my life was in ruin
Now today I know what I'm doin'
Gotta feelin' I should be doin' alright
Doin' alright
Where will I be this time tommorow
Jumping with joy or sinking in sorrow
Anyway I should be doin' alright
Doin' alright
Should be waiting for the sun
Anyway I've got to hide
Going back to where the skies are blue
Going home to find the one

Doin' The Things That We Want To

The other night we went to see Sam's play
doin' the things that we want to
It was very physical it held you to the stage
doin' the things that he wants to
Doin' the things that he wants to
The guy's a cowboy from some rodeo
doin' the things that he wants to
The girl had once loved him, but now she want to go
doin' the things that she wants to
Doin' the things that she wants to
The man was bullish, the woman was a tease
doin' the things that they want to
They fought with their words, their bodies and their deeds
doin' the things that they want to
When they finished fighting, they exited the stage
doin' the things that they want to
I was firmly struck by the way they had behaved
doin' the things that they want to
Doin' the things that they want to
hey
It reminds me of the movies Marty made about New York
(doin' the things that he wants to)
Those frank and brutal movies that are so brilliant
(doin' the things that he wants to)
";True Love"; meet ";The Raging Bull";
(doin' the things that he wants to)
They're very inspirational, I love the things they do
(doin' the things that he wants to)
Doin' the things that I want to
There's not much you hear on the radio today
(doin' the things that we want to)
But you could still see a movie or a play
(doin' the things that we want to)
Here's to ";Travis Bickle"; and here's ";Johnny Boy";
(doin' the things that we want to)
Growing up in the Mean Streets of New York
(doin' the things that we want to)
I wrote this song 'cause I'd like to shake your hand
(doin' the things that we want to)

What Are We Doin' In Love

Kenny Rogers & Dottie West
(Dottie)
We're like summer and winter
We're not one bit alike
We're like satin and cinders
I'm definitely not your type
(Together)
Well, then what are we doin' in love
What are we doin' in a mess like this
What are we doin' love
(Dottie)
Why were you someone I couldn't resist
(Together)
What are we doin' in love
(Kenny)
Were like paper and matches
(Dottie)
We'll probly have our share of fights
(Kenny)
We're like roses and switches
(Dottie)
It's gonna be hard bit we've got to try
(Toghether)
So what are we doin' love
What are we doin' in a mess like this
What are we doin' love
(Kenny)
And what are we gonna tell all our friends
(Dottie)
You don't have to like someone
To love someone
That rule was made to be broken
(Together)
But if we have to say goodbye
To a life we've gotten used to
What are we doin' love then
(Dottie)
We're like sunup and sundown
(Kenny)
People say we're never going to last
(Dottie)
Like Uptown and downtown
(Kenny)
You like it slow but I like it fast
(Together)
What are we doin' love
What are we doin' in a mess like this
What are we doin' love
(Kenny)
What are we gonna tell all our friends
(Together)
What are we doin' love
What are we doin' in a mess like this
What are we doin' love
(Dottie)
You were just someone I couldn't resist
(Together)
So that's what we're doin' in love

Doin' What Comes Natur'lly

ANNIE OAKLEY and FEMALE CHORUS:
Folks are dumb where I come from,
They ain't had any learning.
Still they're happy as can be
Doin' what comes naturally (doin' what comes naturally).
Folks like us could never fuss
With schools and books and learning.
Still we've gone from A to Z,
Doin' what comes naturally (doin' what comes naturally)
You don't have to know how to read or write
When you're out with a feller in the pale moonlight.
You don't have to look in a book to find out
What he thinks of the moon and what is on his mind.
That comes naturally (that comes naturally).
My uncle out in Texas can't even write his name.
He signs his checks with "x's"
But they cash them just the same.
If you saw my pa and ma,
You'd know they had no learning,
Still they've raised a family
Doin' what comes naturally (doin' what comes naturally)
Cousin Jack has never read an almanac on drinking
Still he's always on the spree
Doin' what comes naturally (doin' what comes naturally).
Sister Sal who's musical has never had a lesson,
Still she's learned to sing off-key
Doin' what comes naturally (doin' what comes naturally).
You don't have to go a private school
Not to pick up a penny near a stubborn mule,
You don't have to have a professor's dome
Not to go for the honey when the bee's not home.
That comes naturally (that comes naturally).
My tiny baby brother, who's never read a book,
Knows one sex from the other,
All he had to do was look,
Grandpa Bill is on the hill
With someone he just married.
There he is at ninety-three,
Doin' what comes naturally (doin' what comes naturally

Doin As I See On My Tv

When I was a child staring at the tube
I saw sex, violence and death on the news
One day I saw the duke kill someone
Daddy said dont worry boy, theyre just acting son
All I want is attention from somebody
Somebody pay attention to me
Like them actors I got no shame
I want my fifteen minutes of fame
Doin as I see on my tv
Doin as I see on my tv
Can I get on the news if I kill my wife?
Would you respect me more if I took my life?
I tried to act and my career just flopped
So I beat up my neighbors and I got on cops
All I wants a millions bucks from somebody
Somebody pay a million bucks to me
I could shoot and rape and kill
And buy me a house in beverly hills, please?
Doin as I see on my tv
Doin as I see on my tv
Id even do a porno flick, like all them hollywood chicks
Im doin it as I see on my tv
Took my girl to rent a porno movie
I thought that itd be kinda groovy
I thought thatd this impress my lover
And there she was right on the cover!
All I want is attention from somebody
Somebody pay attention to me
Im a man I got no shame
I want my fifteen minutes of fame
Doin as I see on my tv
Doin as I see on my tv
Hell Id even do a porno flick, like my hero rocky did
Doin as I see on my tv
Whistling, gargling
Spoken: I am not aware!

Red Hot & Blue Love

When we talk it's a thriller, baby
It's like walking on a tightrope line
When we spark it's electric, baby
Like the crackle from a neon sign
What you doin', baby, come on over tonight
(yeah, yeah, yeah)
We'll have the joint jumpin'
We'll be doin', doin', doin, alright
Red hot & blue love (hot & blue love)
Red hot & blue love (hot & blue love)
Whatever you're thinking of
You can do it, do it, do it
Well, red hot & blue love (hot & blue love)
Well, i've got it all planned on the other hand
If you like it like that
When we touch, there's a shock baby
Like the static from a pylon
When we love i'm on a rocket baby
Running up and down your nylons
What you doin', baby, come on over tonight
(well, well, well)
We'll have the joint jumpin'
We'll be doin', doin', doin, alright
Red hot & blue love (hot & blue love)

Doin It Right

Published by uncut music - bmi/procan
Doin it right, doin it right, doin it right, doin it right
The rock bands cookin and the drummers gettin down
Were doin it right on the wrong side of town
I know a place on the wrong side of town
The rock bands cookin and theyre gettin on down
The slot mans playin like his souls on fire
Movin like a rumour on a telephone wire
Go rev up your chevy, put your gas foot down
Were doin it right on the wrong side of town
Doin it right, doin it right, doin it right, doin it right
The rock bands cookin and the drummers gettin down
Were doin it right on the wrong side of town
There aint no future gettin magazine girls
Taken to the club with their hard lovin thrills
No time for tears, trouble and sorrow
Rock and roll like theres no tomorrow
Turn off the tube and put your magazine down
Were doin it right on the wrong side of the town
Doin it right, doin it right, doin it right, doin it right
The rock bands cookin and the drummers gettin down
Were doin it right on the wrong side of town
Doin it right on the wrong side of town
I know a place on the wrong side of town

Crumbs Off The Table

(sherrie payne / ronald dunbar / edith wayne)
Ooh, hoo
Get up in the morning
bout a quarter to nine
Get home in the evenin
Too tired to make time
Give me the lovin
Ive been waiting for all day
Youre always a little too tired
To ever look my way
You got me hungry for your love
But you, you aint able
All you want to give me
Is the crumbs off the table
What you been doin?
Who you been wooin?
Tell me, tell me who you been doin?
I ache inside
With a lovin desire
But youre too tired, baby
To light my fire
I work in this house all day
And I get tired too
There aint a day goes by
I aint willing to make love to you
Im hungry for your love
But you, you aint able
All you want to give me
Is the crumbs off the table, ah
What you been doin?
Who you been wooin?
Tell me, tell me, tell me who you been doin?
Hey, sometimes in the middle of the day
I get lovin you on my mind
But as soon as you get home
You read the paper
Aint got the time
What you been doin?
Who you been wooin?
Tell me, tell me, who you been doin?
What you been doin?
Who you been wooin?
Tell me, tell me, tell me who you been doin?
I said Im hungry for your lovin
But you, you aint able
All you want to give me is the crumbs off the table
Hungry for your love

What Shes Doing Now

Last time I saw her it was turnin colder
But that was years ago
Last I heard she had moved to boulder
But where shes now, I dont know
But theres somethin bout this time of year
That spins my head around
Takes me back, makes me wonder
What shes doin now.
(chorus)
cause what shes doin now is tearin me apart
Fillin up my mind and emptying my heart
I can hear her call each time the cold wind blows
And I wonder if she knows what shes doin now.
Just for laughs, I dialed her old number
But no one knew her name
Hung up the phone, sat there and wondered
If shed ever done the same
I took a walk in the evenin wind
To clear my head somehow
But tonight I lie here thinkin
Whats she doin now?

Cloud Nine

(Norman Whitfield, Barrett Strong)
[B side of Youngblood YB 1017, 1970]
Settin' at home the nights weren't very pretty
I was born and raised in the slum-filled city
I left home seekin' the job that I never did find
Depressed and down-hearted I took to cryin'
I'm doin' fine, so very fine, on cloud nine
Listen
Father didn't know the meaning of work
He disrespected momma and treated me like dirt
I left home seekin' the job that I never did find
Depressed and down-hearted I took to cryin'
I'm doin' fine, so fine, on cloud nine
Let me tell you about that
Doin' fine, on cloud nine
Fine fine fine
Listen
Folks up there tell me
Said give yourself a chance and don't let life pass you by
You know it's a dog-eat-dog world
Woman it ain't no lie
I'm doin' fine, so fine, on cloud nine
I'm doin' fine, on cloud nine
I'm doin' fine, on cloud nine
I'm doin' fine, on cloud nine
Doin' fine, on cloud nine

Im Alright

Well its been a long time glad to see your face
I knew wed meet again another time another place
Cant believe its been so many years
Youd better grab a chair and a couple of beers
Lookin good in your three piece suit
You know I always knew youd take the business route
You were always the one to follow the light and you look like youre doing alright
Been singin for my rent and singin for my supper
Im above the below and below the upper
Im stuck in the middle where money gets tight
But I guess Im doin alright
Im all Im all Im alright
Its a beautiful day not a cloud in sight so I guess Im doin alright
O- oh o-oh, Im alright
Got a good old friend here with me tonight and I guess Im doin alright
Well we had a lot of dreams when we were younger
They thought we were crazy but we had the hunger
We kept a lot of friends skipped a lot of class
Been on top of the world and knocked on our
We lost touch, we lost in love
We lost our minds when things got tough but
Beatin time is a losin fight and I guess Im doin alright
Im all Im all Im alright
Its a beautiful day not a cloud in sight so I guess Im doin alright
O-oh o-oh Im alright
I got a good old friend here with me tonight and I guess Im doin alright
Well I guess Im doin alright
Well I hate to see this evening end
God only knows when Ill see you again
Just send a fax or send me a letter or give me a call that would even be better
Give the kids a kiss for me and say hello to the family
And tell them all my futures lookin bright
Well I miss em but Im doin alright
I said I miss em but Im doin alright

Its a beautiful day not a cloud in sight so I guess Im doin alright

What Are You Doin In My Life?

Well you followed me all around new york city
Tryin to make people think I wanted you with me
I can only hope that they didnt believe you
I can t figure out why I got to deal with you
What are you doin in my life?
What are you doin in my life?
What are you doin in my life?
I didnt ask for you
I dont know how you got my telephone number
Probably some jerk try in to put me under
Some friend of a friend of a friend of mine
Baby who you tryin to fool when you tell those lies?
What are you doin in my life?
What are you doin in my life?
What are you doin in my life?
I didnt ask fo r you
Well this is all a little too much to believe
Youre puttin my name all around in the street
Honey where did you think this was gonna lead?
Baby will you tell me what you want from me?
Well youre the last woman in the world that thrills me
Now you got my girlfriend tryin to kill me
Honey my friends think that Ive gone crazy
Cant you figure out that you aint my baby
What are you doin in my life?
What are you doin in my life?

Except for you and me who just come to use if

Why do you tell me stuff thats so plainly untrue?
If youll be straight with me, Ill be straighter with you
And if youre all done like you said youd been

Watcha Doin' To Me (8 Track Demo)

Oh, love and affection rule
My heart is in the groove
Whatcha doin
Whatcha doin to me, yeah
Oh, I'm searching for the truth
Your missing attitude
Whatcha doin
Whatcha doin to me, yeah
Each time I see you smile
I hear the call of the wild
There's something in your eyes
The way you move I'm mystified
I know how I feel when I see you
I'm not so sure if it's bad or good
Right-side up is upside-down
Oh...oh, Whatcha doin to me
It's always in the touch
Sometimes a spark is not enough
Don't question me, Oh no
I need some grace from above
There's no place to run and hide
I see you, you're a perfect view
Cross myself as I cross the line
Oh...oh, Whatcha doin to me
Oh...woh...oh...yeah...Woh...oh...Yeah
I'm searching for the truth
Your missing attitude
Love and affection rule, yeah
Our heart is in the groove
A spark is not enough
It's always in, it's always in the touch
Whatcha doin to me.....
