Well there’s a rose in the fisted glove
And eagle flies with the dove
And if you can’t be with the one you love honey
Love the one you’re with
Everybody loves me, baby,
what’s the matter with you?
And it’s up to you,
Why won’t you say?
Make our lives turn out this way.
If they knew, that we have got nothing to lose,
No reason to hide from what’s true,
That we have got nothing to lose.
I’m not tryin’ to be your hero
‘Cause that zero is too cold for me, Brrr
I’m not tryin’ to be your highness
‘Cause that minus is too low to see, yeah
Nothin’ from nothin’ leaves nothin’
And I’m not stuffin’
Believe you me
Don’t you remember I told ya
I’m a soldier in the war on poverty, yeah
Buffalo soldier, dreadlock rasta
There was a buffalo soldier in the heart of America
Stolen from Africa, brought to America
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival
I mean it, when I analyze the stench
To me it makes a lot of sense
How the dreadlock rasta was the buffalo soldier
And he was taken from Africa, brought to America
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival
In 1965 Vietnam seemed like just another foreign war but it wasn’t
It was different in many ways, as so were tose that did the fighting
In World War II the average age of the combat soldier was 26
In Vietnam he was 19
In-in-in Vietnam he was 19
The shooting and fighting of the past two weeks continued today
25 miles west of Saigon
I really wasn’t sure what was going on
And it’s one, two, three,
What are we fighting for ?
Don’t ask me, I don’t give a damn,
Next stop is Vietnam;
And it’s five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain’t no time to wonder why
Whoopee! we’re all gonna die.
That’s life and I can’t deny it
Many times I thought of cutting out
But my heart won’t buy it
But if there’s nothing shaking come this here July
I’m gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die
Can’t deny it
That’s life
Tell me, what is my life without your love
Tell me, who am I without you, by my side
July, she will fly,
And give no warning to her flight.
August, die she must.
The Autumn winds grow chilly and cold.
September, I remember.
A love once new has now grown old.
[a repeat, but the setup in 990 is too good to pass up]
You can cage the songbird
But you can’t make her sing
You can trap the free bird
But you’ll have to clip her wings
Because she’ll soar like a hawk when she flies
And she’ll dive like an eagle when she dies
I want to fly like an eagle
To the sea
Fly like an eagle
Let my spirit carry me
I want to fly like an eagle
Till I’m free
My sole intention was learning to fly.
Condition: Grounded, but determined to try.
Can’t keep my eyes from the circling sky.
Tongue tied and twisted, just an earth-bound misfit I.
You say you want to fly
Beyond the sky so fair,
Well, you’re Earthbound,
You ain’t goin’ nowhere.
He’s a real nowhere man
Sittingi n his nowhere land.
Making all his nowhere plans
for nobody.
Nobody told me there’d be days like these,
Strange days indeed.
So, no one told you life was gonna be this way?
Your job’s a joke, you’re broke,
Your love life’s D.O.A.
It’s like you’re always stuck in second gear,
When it hasn’t been your day, your week, your month, or even your year
But I’ll be there for you
When the rain starts to pour
I’ll be there for you
Like I’ve been there before
I’ll be there for you
'Cause you’re there for me too.
But I think of us, like an old cliche’,
But it doesn’t matter, 'cause I love you anyway!
Come in from the rain.
Got on a lucky one
Came in eighteen to one
I´ve got a feeling
This year´s for me and you
So happy christmas
I love you baby
I can see a better time
Where all our dreams come true.
Welcome to my Christmas song
I’d like to thank you for the year
So I’m sending you this Christmas card
To say it’s nice to have you here
I’d like to sing about all the things
Your eyes and mind can see
So hop aboard the turntable
Oh step into Christmas with me
Step into Christmas
Let’s join together
We can watch the snow fall forever and ever
Eat, drink and be merry
Come along with me
Step into Christmas
The admission’s free
