On That Day
Some people say
Its what we deserve
For sins against g-d
For crimes in the world
I wouldnt know
Im just holding the fort
Since that day
They wounded New York
Some people say
They hate us of old
Our women unveiled
Our slaves and our gold
I wouldnt know
Im just holding the fort
But answer me this
I wont take you to court
Did you go crazy
Or did you report
On that day
On that day
They wounded New York

Wounded Knee Creek
Crazy Horse, War Chief of the Sioux Indians of the North American plains, was murdered by white soldiers on September 5th,1877. He was 35.
Soldiers from Fort Robinson came smiling
Pretending friendship to Crazy Horse
Offering the Sioux a lasting peace treaty
But only if the War Chief returned with them.
Trusting lies of those who never honoured any treaty
Crazy Horse rode unarmed into the fort
They barred the gates and held him by the arms
While private William Gentles bayoneted him twice.
Parents of Crazy Horse came to the fort
Took away the body of their warrior son
Secretly buried his majestic heart
At a place called Wounded Knee Creek.
American history records the Indian nations were finally defeated by white soldiers at a place called Wounded Knee Creek on December 29,1890. But it was a massacre. The Indians had surrendered. They were unarmed prisoners when the soldiers opened fire.300 men, women and children were killed.4 men, and 47 women and children survived.

I Wouldnt Wanna Be You
(randy sharp, jeff silbar)
You dont have a clue
Youre so far gone
Hes got you dancin to
A sirens song
I wouldnt wanna be you right now
I wouldnt wanna be
I wouldnt wanna be you right now
I wouldnt wanna be, I wouldnt wanna be
Youre not the first hes drawn
To his flame
He means to do you wrong
He has no shame
I wouldnt wanna be you right now
I wouldnt wanna be
I wouldnt wanna be you right now
I wouldnt wanna be, I wouldnt wanna be you
Its easy to understand
How you could fall so hard
Youre not the only one
Hes taken in and torn apart
Wont say I told you so
But Im afraid its true
Youre about to go
What I went through
I wouldnt wanna be you right now
I wouldnt wanna be
I wouldnt wanna be you right now
I wouldnt wanna be, I wouldnt wanna be you

I Wouldnt Normally Do This Kind Of Thing
Ask me why
Ill say its most unusual
How can I even try to explain
Why today, I feel like dancing
Singing like lovers sing
When I wouldnt normally do this kind of thing
I wouldnt normally do this kind of thing
Ask me when
Ill say it started when I met you
And ever since then
I knew that the past wouldnt last
For right now I think Im running
A race I know Im gonna win
And I wouldnt normally do this kind of thing
I wouldnt normally do this kind of thing
If people say Im crazy
I tell 'em that it's true
I let them watch with amazement
Say it wont last beyond breakfast
Its just a phase hes going through
Denigrate or speculate
On what Im going through
Because it isnt the sort of thing Id normally do
Ask me what
Ill say I think its good for you
Believe it or not
I know where its all leading to
I feel like taking all my clothes off
And dancing to the rite of spring
And I wouldnt normally do this kind of thing
I wouldnt normally do this kind of thing
I wouldnt normally do this kind of
This kind of thing

New York, New York
Well, I shuffled through the city on the 4th of july
I had a firecracker waiting to blow
Breakin like a rocket who makin its way
To the cities of mexico
Lived in an apartment out on avenue a
I had a tar-hut on the corner of 10th
Had myself a lover who was finer than gold
But Ive broken up and busted up since
And love dont play any games with me
Anymore like she did before
The world wont wait, so I better shake
That thing right out there through the door
Hell, I still love you, new york
Found myself a picture that would fit in the folds
Of my wallet and it stayed pretty good
Still amazed I didnt lose it on the roof of the place
When I was drunk and I was thinking of you
Every day the children they were singing their tune
Out on the streets and you could hear from inside
Used to take the subway up to houston and 3rd
I would wait for you and Id try to hide
And love wont play any games with me
Anymore if you dont want it to
The world wont wait and I watched you shake
But honey, I dont blame you
Hell, I still love you, new york
Hell, I still love you, new york
New york
I remember christmas in the blistering cold
In a church on the upper west side
Babe, I stood their singing, I was holding your arm
You were holding my trust like a child
Found a lot of trouble out on avenue b
But I tried to keep the overhead low
Farewell to the city and the love of my life
At least we left before we had to go
And love wont play any games with you
Anymore if you want em to
So we better shake this old thing out the door
Ill always be thinkin of you
Ill always love you though new york
Ill always love you though new york, new york, new york

New York Times
New york poor new york
New york poor new york
Cars choking your child to death
But you dont wanna see
Cause you only think about yourself
How blind can you be
New york poor new york
Sniper on the rooftop new york
New york poor new york
Not fit for a dog in new york
Everybody bites on the big apple
Leave the hungry in tears
But no one gives a damn no one really cares
How they feel theyre just paper people not real
You need a gun to walk into new york
Now youre broke and youre out on a ledge
Who can help you this time
Now youre down to your very last cent
Still youre askin me who was your friend
I was your friend
New york poor new york
Who turned the lights out in new york
New york poor new york
Just another blackout in new york
Girl dead on the 26th floor
But no one knew her name
Found her body behind the door
Too young for the game
New york poor new york
Devils in the subway new york
New york poor new york
New york poor new york
Talkin talkin talkin - watch out
Harlem touching midtown new york
New york poor new york
Talkin bout new york new york
Moneys getting tighter new york
Theyre burning the bridges to new york

Shes holding her heart to the stars above
She cant afford dreams
And her clothes are old
She cant afford hope
Wouldnt be so bold
But shes holding his heart
And she wont let go again
Shes a femme fatal
Well thats what they say
But she knows he couldnt love her

Cause shes holding him now
And she wont let go again

She never slows down
And she doesnt play straight
Just cruising around in her own sweet way
But shes taking her time
And hes gonna get fooled again
She learned about life
Til she wished shew were dead
So she treats that guy like a hole in the head
Can you see him now
Hell never get lucky again

She never slows down
And she cant get enough

Shes holding her heart to the stars above
The goddess of love (x6)

Shes the goddess of love as she covers the gorund
She looks just great and she never slows down
And shes holding his heart and she wont let go again
Yes, shes holding his heart and she wont let go again
Oh, shes holding his heart and she wont let go again
Yes, shes holding his heart and she wont let go again

Nyc Man
It can only lead to trouble if you break my heart
If you accidentally crush it on the ides of march
Id prefer you were straight forward
You dont have to go through all of that
Im a new york city man, baby, and say go and that is that
New york city man, you just say go and that is that
Im a new york city man, you just say go and that is that
Its far too complicated to make up a lie
That youd have to remember and really why
I wouldnt want to be around you
If you didnt want to have me around
Im a m-a-n-n man, you blink your eyes and Ill be gone
M-a-n-n man, you blink your eyes, honey, I love you, Ill be gone
New york city man, you blink your eyes and Ill be gone
Brutus made a pretty speech but caesar was betrayed
Lady macbeth went crazy but macbeth ended slain
Ophelia and desdamona dead leaving hamlet in a play
But Im no lear with blinded eyes, say go and I am gone
The stars have shut their eyes up tight
The earth has changed its course
A kingdom sits on a black knights back
As he tries to mount a white jeweled horse
While a clock full of butterflies on the hour
Releases a thousand moths
You say leave and Ill be gone
Without any remorse
No letters faxes phones or tears
Theres a difference between bad and worse
Im a new york city man, blink your eyes and Ill be gone
New york city - man, m-a-n, you blink your eyes and Ill be gone
New york city, I love you, new york city man
New york city, how I love you, blink your eyes and Ill be gone
Just a little grain of sand
New york city, ooohhh, how I love you
New york city, baby, blink your eyes and Ill be gone
Oh, how I love you

I Wish You Wouldnt Say That
I wish you wouldnt say that
I thought Id have to come right over
I thought I made it clear enough
I guess Ill have to make it clearer
Say something to change your mind
Bring me back the way I used to be
If it takes forever thats all right
Say the words that Ive been trying to hear
I wish you didnt tell her
I thought od have to come right over
I thought Id have to make it clearer
Now jimmys coming over
There are places that I wont forget
And I guess Im never going back
Guess its information that I lack
Ive told lies without a hint or regret

Survival
Shadows of night falling over my head
People walking
Passing me by
Shadows of dreams falling out of the blue
People talking
What can I do
Where do I go from here
Where do I go from here
I could give you any dream and watch it grow
I could take you for a ride but you would know
I could tell you every answer that I know
It wouldnt be much tho
It wouldnt be anything you didnt know
But
Survival
Nothing more than survival
Shadows of days hanging endless in time
Slowly fading
Passing us by
Shadows of worlds disappearing from view
People asking
What could we do?
Where do I go from here
Where do I go from here
If I gave you every dream they would grow
If I took you for a ride would you know
If I told you every answer that I know
It wouldnt be much tho
It wouldnt be anything you didnt know
But survival
In you love, I have all that
I need for
Survival
With your love I have all that
I need for
Survival
With our love we have all that
We need for
Survival

One more lonely night
Just one more lonely night
She doesnt like sleeping alone
You may come home one morning
And find shes not sleeping alone
Oh, then baby youll see
Oh yes, you should have stayed at home
Because
One more lonely night
Just one more lonely night
She doesnt like sleeping alone
Just one more lonely night
Just one more lonely night
Oh, wouldnt you like to be the one
Holding her tight
If you want her, better get her now
Or shell be running away somehow
Oh, its not for me to say
If shell be happy some other way
Because
One more lonely night
Just one more lonely night
She doesnt like sleeping alone
Oh, one more lonely night
Just one more lonely night
Oh, wouldnt you like to be the one
Holding her tight
Dont be a fool
Just one more lonely night
Oh, one lonely night
Wouldnt you like to be the one
Holding her tight
Dont be a fool
Just one more lonely night
Just one more lonely night
Oh, wouldnt you like to be the one

Love Or Money
Verse1:
You might be a small town boy
But your livin large in my world
When you wrap your love around me,
You know Im your number one girl
Traveled across the sea
But it didnt mean that much to me
Youre the star that makes me shine
No matter where my heart may be
Do you need to know
Anything more than this?
Chorus:
I wouldnt leave you for love
Wouldnt leave you for money
Wouldnt leave you for anything in this world honey
Wouldnt do it for diamonds
Wouldnt do it for gold
Baby next to your lovin, they just leave me cold
Verse2:
A millionaire from london
Tried to sweep me off my feet
A lear jet, a fancy car,
But still you got them beat
If valentino courted me
To marry him in rome
It might be tempting,
But you know Id rather stay home with you
cause youre still the one
Who makes me feel like a queen
Chorus
Breakdown:
Would you do it for love? ( wouldnt do it for love! )
Would you do it for money? ( wouldnt do it for money! )
Would you do it for love? ( wouldnt do it for love! )
Or what? ( nothin in the world honey! )
Verse3:
Ill never let you go!
Do I need to know any more than this!? !

After You
We'll have our way
And I'm holding your hand
Thinking about the words to say
And I'm thinking about the hands you'll shake
The people that you'll meet
Along the way
Along your way
We are faltered after you
But you're holding on?
And we are walking after you
But you're feeling oh so wrong
Well have our way with all of you
What is this world coming to?
And I am walking
Won't you stop talking
You talk too much
Oh New York City
had the craze you wanted
Now you're swimming in it
You're swimming in it
Here we are
The fireplace where you left
Isn't lit
And I am walking after you
Are you holding on?
And we are faltered after you
No, cause I feel what's in your blood
I would only call what's in you after all
But you're feeling oh so right
And I am stronger everyday for you..
And I am stronger everyday..
But we both know we feel above this
Are you hanging on?
And we both know we feel above this
But you're feeling oh so wrong
And I am faltered after you
Are you holding on, holding on
And we are walking and faltered after you
We are faltered after you

Wouldnt It Be Nice
Wouldnt it be nice if we were older
Then we wouldnt have to wait so long
And wouldnt it be nice to live together
In the kind of world where we belong
You know its gonna make it that much better
When we can say goodnight and stay together
Wouldnt it be nice if we could wake up
In the morning when the day is new
And after having spent the day together
Hold each other close the whole night through
Happy times together weve been spending
I wish that every kiss was neverending
Wouldnt it be nice
Maybe if we think and wish and hope and pray it might come true
Baby then there wouldnt be a single thing we couldnt do
We could be married
And then wed be happy
Wouldnt it be nice
You know it seems the more we talk about it
It only makes it worse to live without it
But lets talk about it
Wouldnt it be nice

New York Woman
It was getting dark in a snow-covered park,
I thought I saw you smiling.
You left town to marry a texas millionaire,
I wonder how you are doing.
You were a new york woman,
New york woman,
New york woman,
I love you.
I heard him on the air discussing world affairs,
And something about his global vision.
Thats when I wondered if you made the right decision,
I want to know what youre thinking.

Standing on the corner
Just me and yoko ono
We was waiting for jerry to land
Up come a man with a guitar in his hand
Singing, have a marijuana if you can
His name was david peel
And we found that he was real
He sang, the pope smokes dope every day
Up come a policeman shoved us up the street
Singing, power to the people today!
New york city...new york city...new york city
Que pasa, new york?
Que pasa, new york?
Well down to maxs kansas city
Got down the nitty gritty
With the elephants memory band
Laid something down
As the news spread around
About the plastic ono elephants memory band!
And we played some funky boogie
And laid some tutti frutti
Singing, long tall sallys a man.
Up come a preacherman trying to be a teacher
Singing, gods a red herring in drag!

Well we did the staten island ferry
Making movies for the telly
Played the fillmore and apollo for freedom
Tried to shake our image
Just a cycling through the village
But found that we had left it back in london
Well nobody came to bug us
Hustle us or shove us
So we decided to make it our home
If the man wants to shove us out
We gonna jump and shout
The statue of liberty said, come!

The Tin Man
(kenny chesney/stacey slate/david lowe)
Saw a man in the movies that didnt have a heart
How I wish I could give him mine
Then I wouldnt have to feel it breaking all apart
And this emptiness inside would suit me fine
Its times like these
I wish I were a tin man
You could hurt me all you wanted
And Id never even know
Id give anything just to be the tin man
And I wouldnt have a heart and I wouldnt need a soul
I couldnt see your leavin comin
You took me by surprise
Even now it still seems like a dream
But I know I cant be dreamin
cause as I lay down each night
The pain so great that it wont let me sleep
Its times like these
I wish I were a tin man
You could hurt me all you wanted
And Id never even know
Id give anything just to be the tin man
And I wouldnt have a heart and I wouldnt need a soul
Well Id give anything just to be the tin man
And I wouldnt have a heart and I wouldnt miss you so
