TALKIN' LOUD AND SAYIN' NOTHING
(J. Brown / B. Byrd)

You can't tell me how to run my life down
and you can't tell me how to keep my fitness sound
you can't tell me what i'm doing wrong
when you keep dialing and sing that same old funny song
you can't tell me which way to go
cause i'm six and seven and then some more

like a dull knife that just can't cut
just talking a lot and saying nothing
and sayin' nothing, and sayin' nothing

don't tell me how to do my thing
when you can't do your own
don't you tell me how to feed my boy
when you know i'm grown
don't you tell me her dress
you can't tell me how to run my mess

you're like a dull knife that just ain't cuttin'
you're just talking a lot and saying nothing
and sayin' nothing, and sayin' nothing here we go ...

shape up your bag, don't worry 'bout mine
my thing is together and i'm doin' fine
good luck to you, just allow that i'm wrong
just keep on singing that same old funny song
then just keep on singing that same old funny song
just keep on singing that same old funny song...

keep on singin', keep on singin' ...n'

Desperate People

I see you crying in the sunshine
I hear you laughing in the rain
You say you can't tell any difference
Between the pleasure and the pain
You say you never ever dream at night time
You say you only dream when you're awake
And say that T.V. looks like your life
And the life you lead is fake
Desperate People Desperate People
You get your sunshine from a tab of paper
Then you're sitting in a spinning room
The clock is tocking and it's laughing at you
your life's a mystery without a clue
The crowd you're in thinks you're so amusing
They're oh so flattering and so sincere
They stand and laugh as they watch you crumble
And when you cry for help they don't hear
Desperate People Desperate People
You feel the earth revolving
You see the sun dissolving
You hear the night calling out to you
You have no direction and you have no protection
What you gonna do when your trip turns blue?
When you come crashing down and there's no help around
You need friends, you need helpBut first you have to help yourself
The music stops and the party's over
The money's gone and your crowd is too
Can't break the chains that have kept you under
Has the monkey got the best of you?
I see you crying in the sunshine
I hear you laughing in the rain
You say you can't tell any difference
Between the pleasure and the pain

Memories Can't Wait
(D. Byrne, J. Harrison)

Do you remember here?
No you don't remember anything at all
I'm here flat on my back
Never woke up - had no regrets

There's a party in my mind
And I hope it never stops
They party all the time
Gonna party till they drop

Other people can go home
Other people they can split
I can never stop
I can never quit

Take a walk through the land of the shadows
Take a walk through the peaceful meadows
Don't look so disappointed
Isn't what you hoped for is it?

There's a party in my mind
And I hope it never stops
I'm stuck here in this seat
And I may not stand up

Other people can go home
Other people they can split
I can never stop
I can never quit

Everything is quiet
Everyone's gone to sleep
I'm wide awake
But these memories
These memories can't wait

These memories can't wait...

BURNING OF THE MIDNIGHT LAMP
(Jimi Hendrix)

The morning is dead and the day, is, too.
The step is up here to meet me but the velvet fool.
All my loveliness I have felt today.
It's a little more than enough to make a man throw himself away.

And I continue to burn the midnight lamp alone.

Now the smiling portrait of you is still hanging on my frowning wall
It really doesn't really doesn't bother me to watch at all
It's just the ah ever fallinglove dust that makes it so hard for me to see
that forgotten earring clear on the floor facing coolly the one at the door

And I continue to burn the midnight lamp alone.
Yeah yeah.
Lonely lonely lonely.
Ah. Oh. Loneliness is such a drag.

So here I sit to face that same old fire place
getting' ready for the same old explosion goin' through my mind.
Yes, soon enough time will tell about the circus in the wishing well
and someone who will buy and sell for me, someone who will tow my bail

And I continue to burn the same old lamp alone
Yeah midnight lamp,
Can you hear me callin' you?
So lonely. Gotta blow my mine
Yeah, yeah. Lonely lonely.

MONEY TALKS
(V. Reid)

i don't care about your dreams of peace
i don't care about your please lord please
i don't care about your africa
i don't care about your ancestors

'cause money talks and i'm listening to the sound
money talks and it's the only sound that counts

i don't care about your truth to tell
i don't care about your heaven - hell
i don't care about your rock and roll
i don't care about your blues, jazz or soul

'cause money talks and i'm listening to the sound
money talks and it's the only sound that counts

money talks and i'm listening to the sound
money talks and it's the only sound that makes the world go round

i used to be like you ... faithful and true
i used to lend my helping hand to my fellow man
than one day it all broke up
that's the day when i woke up

i don't care about your other man
i don't care about your master plan
i don't care about your free the land
all i care is cash in hand

'cause money talks and i'm listening

money talks
money talks
money talks
