Beds Are Burning
Out where the river broke
The bloodwood and the desert oak
Holden wrecks and boiling diesels
Steam in forty five degrees
The time has come
To say fairs fair
To pay the rent
To pay our share
The time has come
A facts a fact
It belongs to them
Lets give it back
How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep when our beds are burning
Four wheels scare the cockatoos
From kintore east to yuendemu
The western desert lives and breathes
In forty five degrees
(live - on scream in blue
The time has come
A facts a fact
It belongs to us all
Lets give it back)

Lets Get Back
Get back together aah
This is a very interesting situation
I sense a gradual loss of communication
Dont you think I can see youre changing on me
Youre heading into a completely new direction
And I am having trouble making the adaptation
Dont you think I can see youre changing on me
Lets get back together
Lets get back forever
Lets get back together
Lets get back
Lets get back together
Lets get back forever
Lets get back together
Lets get back
If I may be so bold by making a suggestion
Please ask yourself why you are making this transition
Dont you think I can see, youre changing on me
Everytime I think of us I just want to make it how it was
Before we had much more
When I think of me and you I just cant believe that we are through
I cant ignore the fact you closed the door
When I think back, we had a beautiful relationship
But I see the future, whats there for me is devastation from you
Dont you think I can see, youre changing on me
Lets get back together
Lets get back forever
Lets get back together
Lets get back
Lets get back together
Lets get back forever
Lets get back together
Lets get back
Back together, back together, back together, back together
Back together, back together, back together, back together
Everytime I think of us I just want to make it how it was
Ah before we had much more
When I think of me and you I just cant believe that we are through
I cant ignore the fact you closed the door
Dont you think I can see
Dont you think I can see
Dont you think I can see
Youre changing
Get on back, get on back
Get on back, get on back
Get on back, get on back
Get on back, get on back
Get on back, get on back
Get on back, get on back to
I wanna get back

Ditty Diego - War Chant
Hey now wait a minute!
Now wait just a minute!
Hey hey we are the monkees
You know we love to please
A manufactured image
With no philosophies
We hope you like our story
Although there isnt one
That is to say theres many
That way there is more fun
You told us you like action
And games of many kinds
You like to dance, we like to sing
So lets all lose our minds!
We know it doesnt matter,
Cause what you came to see
Is what wed love to give you,
And give it one, two, three!
But there may come three, two, one, two
Or jump from nine to five,
And when you see the end in sight
The beginning may arrive!
For those who look for meaning,
And form as they do facts,
We might tell you one thing
But wed only take it back
Not back like in a box back
Not back like in a race,
Not back so we can keep it,
But back in time and space!
You say were manufactured,
To that we all agree,
So make you choice and well rejoice
In never being free!
Hey hey we are the monkees,
Weve said it all before
The moneys in were made of tin
Were here to give you more!
The moneys in were made of tin
Were here to give you--
*bang!!*
*scream!!!*
Gimme a w!
W!
Gimme an a!
A!
Gimme an r!!
R!!
What does that spell!!? ?

Lets Go!
(wang chung)
Meet me in a restaurant
Meet me on the top of the world
Meet me and well talk the language of love
Ill meet you anywhere you want
Ill meet you on a ballroom floor
Meet me and well float to a level above
Chorus:
I wish youd stop what youre doing
And get on the case
We could blow this existence
Right out into space
And share a sweet isolation
Lets go there today
Go today, go today
Everyway, right away
Oh, lets go
Lets go, baby, lets go, baby, come on
Lets go, baby, lets go, baby, come on
Lets go, baby, lets go, baby, come on
Lets go, cause we cant hold back no more
Theres no way, theres no way
No, no way
Meet you on a mountain-top
Ill meet you at the end of the block
As long as we can talk in the language of love
Ill take you in my arms again
Ill take you to the edge of time
Together we can reach for the heavens above
Repeat chorus
Lets go, baby, lets go, baby, come on
cause baby, I want your love
Lets go, baby, lets go, baby, come on
cause baby, Im saying
Take your cue from me now
Im saying baby, lets go
Will you listen to me
Im saying baby, come on now
Lets go cause we cant hold back no more
Theres no way
Meet me on the dancefloor and well dance to the rhythm
Get your feet in motion and well dance to the rhythm
Dance to the rhythm
Dance to the rhythm of love
Oh, baby
Lets go, baby, lets go, baby, come on
cause baby, I want your love
Lets go, baby, lets go, baby, come on
cause baby, Im saying
Take your cue from me now
Im saying baby, lets go

Im saying baby, come on now
Lets go, cause we cant hold back no

Lets go, cause we cant hold back no more

Everything belongs to people
Everything belongs to people
Give back to the people
Give back their land their forest
Their hills mountains rivers
Give back to the people
Earth mines irons etc etc
Everything belongs to the people
Give the people the power
In democracy everything belongs
To people and democracy is
Of the people by the people and
For the people and people are
At the centre of power progress
Prosperity public funds
People are there just to forgive
And forget and do not take
The advantage of their ignorance
made the people know everything
Everything belongs to people
People are the people in this system
And the system depends on you only
You can make it coal
And people are there to group.

If You Wanna Dance
If you wanna dance, this is our chance
If you wanna dance, lets take our chance
Jiggy-jump to the beat, and keep bouncin
Thirty seconds and countin
Hot one, this choice critical
Situation is difficult
My calibre wont allow me to rhyme
On a level where you people cant here me
See me, I guess you know you wanna be me
In the mean-time bounce to the beat see
Music is my life cos my life is music
The beat of the drum in your heart
Lets dance (like you mean it, cant you feel it, dont you know)
Lets dance (cos you need it, better believe it, here we go)
Lets dance (give your all when were coming together on the floor)
Lets dance (you know that youve got what I like)
Check it down, droppin verbal bombs on tha beat
Hopin that you people think the sound is unique
Cos I like to party, like to party
Come on every body, gotta get it started
I got something, to keep you jumping
When I kick a freaky rhyme I get the dancefloor thumping
Just step back, and take time to check
When I rock up on the mike you people never forget
Now check it out
Music is my life cos my life is music
The beat of the drum in your heart
Lets dance (like you mean it, cant you feel it, dont you know)
Lets dance (cos you need it, better believe it, here we go)
Lets dance (give your all when were coming together on the floor)
Lets dance (you know that youve got what I like)
If you wanna dance, this is our chance
If you wanna dance, lets take our chance
You know that you got what I like
You know that you got what I need
You know that you got what I like
Yeah
Music is my life cos my life is music
The beat of the drum in your heart
Lets dance (like you mean it, cant you feel it, dont you know)
Lets dance (cos you need it, better believe it, here we go)
Lets dance (give your all when were coming together on the floor)
Lets dance (you know that youve got what I like)

Almost any biographer, if he respects facts, can give us much more than another fact to add to our collection. He can give us the creative fact; the fertile fact; the fact that suggests and engenders.

Facticity
What you are, what you had been
Are facts of you
Facticities: you cannot change
You once had,
You have no power over these
Facticities: Undoing, unbreaking,
Unmaking.unloving.
What you are going to be
What you want to become
What you want to have
to hold & to cherish
What you have to die for
What you long &
what you want to give
Are non-facts
Non-facticities:
They are being,
Be-ing
Becoming
And these are our hopes & our wishes & what we look forward to
A warm day tomorrow
A loved one faithful to you
The beloved
The beloved loving the beloved
These are the things we can still change
We can make
Death is a fact
What you do before death
Still belongs to the freedom of your hands
You are alive.
That is be-ing.
Be thankful.
Be always grateful.
Be strong.
Be the good self that you want to be.
These are not facts yet
They still belong to the freedom of your own hands

Hey baby, wont you take a chance?
If you wanna, you can have a dance
Lets dance, lets dance
Do the twist and shout, mashed potato too
Any old dance that you wanna do
Lets dance, lets dance
Hey baby, now youre all alone
Hey baby, let me walk you home
Lets dance, lets dance
Do the twist and shout, mashed potato too
Any old dance that you wanna do
Lets dance, lets dance
Lets dance
Put on your red shoes and dance the blues
Lets dance
Dance to the song theyre playing on the radio
Lets sway
While colour lights up your face
Lets sway
Sway through the crowd to an empty space
If you say run, Ill run with you
If you say hide, well hide
Watch my love for you
It would break my heart in two
If you should fall into my arms
And tremble like a flower

Lets dance, lets dance

Lets Roll
Neil young
Lets roll
I know I said I love you
I know you know its true
I got to put the phone down
And do what we got to do
Ones standing in the aisle way
Two more at the door
We got to get inside there
Before they kill some more
Time is runnin out lets roll
Time is runnin out lets roll
No time for indecision we got to make a move
I hope that were forgiven for what we got to do
How this all got started Ill never understand
Hope someone can fly this thing and get us back to land
Time is runnin out lets roll
Time is runnin out lets roll
No one has the answer but one thing is true
You got to turn on evil when its coming after you
You gotta face it down and when it tries to hide
We gotta go in after it and never be denied
Time is runnin out lets roll
Lets roll for freedom
Lets roll for love
Going after satin on the wings of a dove
Lets roll for justice
Lets roll for truth
Lets not let our children grow up fearful in their youth
Time is runnin out lets roll
Time is runnin out lets roll
Time is runnin out lets roll

Lets Get It On
Never knew someone could make me feel
Like you do, cause its true.
You got me prayin that this love is real.
All I need, is you with me.
cause theres something bout the way you smile I like,
Something I dont know.
Id give anything to be with you tonight,
cause I cant let go.
Chorus
All I wanna do is get with you.
Take a little time get next to you.
Lets get it on, lets get it on.
All I want now is you and me.
You and I are meant to be.
Lets get it on, lets get it on.
So many times Ive looked into your eyes
And all I see, is the love for me.
But if you took some time to realise
You could be, the one for me baby.
cause theres something bout the way you smile I like,
Something I dont know.
Id give anything to be with you tonight,
cause I cant let go
Chorus
You be the honey that I never could forget.
And got me trippin out, you got me thinkin we were set.
I thought that we would always be together you and me.
Remember thinking that youve got to be my destiny.
Cant you see that I know that I was wrong in what I did
But if you take me back I know that we could try again
And Im gonna keep on calling keep on hitting with my charms,
Until the day you finally take me back into your arms.
Take it back now.
cause theres something bout the way you smile I like,
Something I dont know.
Id give anything to be with you tonight,
cause I cant let go.

Everything Is Not Enough
It doesnt help you if you scream and shout
That isnt what this thing is all about
And do you really want to fight to win
Youre missing out and thats another sin
Your dream of power is a sacrifice
Do you really want to pay that price
Just think about it and youll change the pace
Look in the mirror tell me who do you face
Who is that?
Its everything, everything is not enough
I want it all, thats tough, thats tough, thats tough
Another dream, another dream, another dream goes pop
This is the time, lets stop, lets stop, lets stop
Nobody loves you if you moan all day
So take it easy then youll get your way
You aint no dummy and Im sure you know
You know its better if you let it go
Youre in control if you let it go
Youre feeling better when you let it flow
You never really had to catch the moon
Youre better jumping to another tune
So lets jump
Its everything, everything is not enough
I want it all, thats tough, thats tough, thats tough
Another dream, another dream, another dream goes pop
This is the time, lets stop, lets stop, lets stop
Its everything, everything is not enough
I want it all, thats tough, thats tough, thats tough
Another dream, another dream, another dream goes pop
This is the time, lets stop, lets stop, lets stop (do, do, do it)
Ive got it all but its not enough
I keep thinking boy I feel so rough
This cant be me, Im such a happy guy
I laugh a lot but I want to cry
A cry for help is just letting go
It hurts a lot but I think I know
Its time for change I dont need the hype
Its time for change and the time is ripe
So lets go
Its everything, everything is not enough
I want it all, thats tough, thats tough, thats tough
Another dream, another dream, another dream goes pop
This is the time, lets stop, lets stop, lets stop
Its everything, everything is not enough
I want it all, thats tough, thats tough, thats tough
Another dream, another dream, another dream goes pop
This is the time, lets stop, lets stop, lets stop
Its everything, everything is not enough
I want it all, thats tough, thats tough, thats tough
Another dream, another dream, another dream goes pop
This is the time, lets stop, lets stop, lets stop...

Hungry Again
The thrill, the desire, the excitement is gone
We seem to have found a safe comfort zone
We worked so hard to get where we are
That romance got lost on the way
It used to be never enough
Wed melt with each look and each burning touch
We laughed and we loved and we just ate it up
Back when we were hungry that way
Chorus:
Lets love like were hungry again
Bring back the passion we had back then
The time has gone by, we forgot what it meant
Lets love like were hungry again
Dont you miss those feelings we had at the start
And that fire that got started from each little spark
Oh its good where we are, but I miss where weve been
Lets love like were hungry again, now and then
Lets love like were hungry again
Bring back the passion we had back then
The time has gone by, now weve grown too content
Lets love like were hungry again, now and then
Lets love like were hungry again

All For One
(nickolas ashford/valerie simpson)
All for one and one for all
You live, you give, you have a ball
Theres no need to live on an island
Cause everyone here respects your opinion
It all adds up to
Its your strength we need
So get behind and push
If you dont want to lead
Cause its all for one and one for all
You live, you give, you have a ball
I dont know your future plans
But divided Im sure
You will not stand
I said all that to say
Theres an easier way
If its love that we share
Then theres no debt to pay
Cause we are all down here under the sky
Wont you try
Wont you try
Were all down here
Youre not alone
Youve been pushing and pulling and shoving
Since the day you were born
So lets try
All for one and one for all
You live, you give, you have a ball
And a smile will appear on your face
Cause suddenly, suddenly the world is a beautiful place
Cause its all for one and one for all
You live, you give, you have a ball
All for one and one for all
You live, you give, you have a ball
All for one and one for all
Lets try, lets try
You live, you give, you have a ball
All for one and one for all
You live, you give, you have a ball

All for one and one for all

Evrything Ive Got
Verse 1
Dont stamp your foot at me,
Its impolite
To stamp your foot at me
Is not quite right.
At mans ingratitude
A woman winks,
But such an attitude just stinks.
Refrain 1
I have eyes for you to give you dirty looks.
I have words that do not come from childrens books
Theres a trick with a knife Im learning to do
And evrything Ive got belongs to you.
Ive a powerful anesthesia in my fist,
And the perfect wrist to give your neck atwist.
There are hammerlock holds,
Ive mastered a few,
And evrything Ive got belongs to you.
Share for share, share alike,
You get struck each time I strike.
You for me- me for me-
Ill give you plenty of nothing.
Im not yours for better but for worse,
And Ive learned to give the well-known witches curse.
Ive a terrible tongue, a temper for two,
And evrything Ive got belongs to you.
Verse 2
Dont raise your voice at me,
Thats very rude.
To raise your voice at me
Is rather crude.
Its wrong essentially when woman yells,
And confidentially, it smells.
Refrain 2
Ill converse with you on politics at length,
Ill protect you with my superhuman strength.
If youre ever attacked Ill scream and say , boo!
And evrything Ive got belongs to you.
I will never stray from home, Ill just stay put,
cause Ive got a brand-new thing called athlete s foot.
Im a victim of colds, anemia, too,
And evrything Ive got belongs to you.
Off to bed we will creep,
Then well sleep and sleep and sleep
Till the birds start to peep.
Ill give you plenty of nothing.
Ill be yours forever and a day
If the first good breeze does not blow me away.
Youre enough for one man, thats why Ill be true,
And evrything Ive got belongs to you.
Encore
You may have some things that I cant use at all.
When I look at you, your manly gifts are small.
Ive a wonderful way of saying adieu,
And evrything Ive got belongs to you.
You wont know how good I am until you try
And youll let my well of loneliness run dry.
Ive a marvelous way of telling you no,
And evrything Ive got belongs to you.
And evrything you want belongs to me!
And ev rything you need belongs to me!
Reprise
Verse
Life has no shape or form
And no design.
It isnt life without
That fool of mine.
I used to gad about
With any chap
And now Im sad about my sap.
Refrain
Hes a living thing that isnt quite alive,
He has brains enough for any child of five.
Oh, he isnt too rich in vigor and vim,
But evrything Ive got belongs to him.
Hes a naughty brat that cant be left alone.
He has eyes for evry skirt except my own.
Even under a tree, he grabs for the limb,
But evrything Ive got belongs to him.
Something beats in his chest,
But its just a pump at best.
Im for him, hes for him.
He gives me plenty of nothing.
When I see that funny face, I know
Something scared his mother twenty years ago.
But Ill never let go, hell never be free!
Till evrything hes got belongs to me!
Coda
And evrything Ive got belongs to him!
And evrything Ive got belongs to us!

Bacause The Night
Take me now, baby, here as I am
Hold me close, and try and understand
Desire is hunger is the fire I breathe
Love is a banquet on which we feed
Come on now, try and understand
The way I feel under your command
Take my hand, as the sun descends
They can't hurt you now can't hurt you now, can't hurt you now
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Have I a doubt, baby, when I'm alone
Love is a ring a telephone
Love is an angel, disguised as lust
Here in our bed 'til the morning comes
Come on now, try and understand
The way I feel under your command
Take my hand, as the sun descends
They can't hurt you now, can't hurt you now, can't hurt you now
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
With love we sleep,
with doubt the vicious circle turns, and burns
Without you, oh I cannot live,
forgive the yearning burning
I believe it's time to heal to feel,
so take me now, take me now, take me now
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us

presents to buy for everyone
but the homeless ones get none

yes this year we will help at the mission
all the food we will be up dishing
Christmas time is here,
but what about the poor
us who are well off open up your door
help those who can't get any moore
Christmas time is here

lets reach out to the needy and the poor
we must not close our door

I Really Cant Say
Chorus
I really cant say
How I feel right now
I would if I could
But I dont know how
Just give me some time
And Ill come around
Ill pick myself up
Ill dust myself down
Verse one
Lets leave it at that
I dont want to fight
Dont say anything that you may regret
In fact, its the last thing I need tonight
Your words in my head are hard to forget
Repeat chorus
Verse two
Lets leave it for now
Lets call it a day
We dont have to talk about this anymore
That look on you face gave it all away
Weve travelled these roads many times before
Repeat chorus
Verse three
Lets leave it alone
Before its too late
Give it a rest for a moment or two
We can pick it back up at a later date
If you feel thats what you have to do

Snakedance
(jack hues)
Lets rent a place in town
Somewhere we can call our own
Lets knock these barriers down
We need to spend some time alone
Everything in the world has a name
Oh doesnt it make you feel
Like youve moved into a rented apartment
Everything is real
But it doesnt belong to you
Chorus:
All the words are dead, so we need to
Snakedance
All the words are dead, so we need to
Snakedance
Lets get that empty room
But first I really must be sure
Every word, every name you know
Will vanish when we close the door
Just say oh (all the words are dead)
Just say yeah (so we need to snakedance)
Just say ugh (all the words are dead)
Just say ooo (so we need to snakedance)
Wrap yourself around me
Help me start again
Wrap yourself around me
And girl lets snakedance
Snakedance
Dont give me talking, give me snakedance
All the words are dead, so we need to
Snakedance
Nothing more be said, so we need to
Snakedance
If logic is a glass bead game
And science is an iron wheel
And your life is a riderless horse
Dragging you by the heel
You need a place where you can concentrate
On what it is to be
Dont think, dont speak any language
The silence in the room
Is all that belongs to you
Wrap yourself around me
Help me start again
Wrap yourself around me
And girl lets snakedance
