Do Wah Diddy Diddy
Manfred Mann
There she was just a-walking down the street
Singing do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do
Snapping her fingers and shuffling her feet
Singing do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do
She looked good
(Looked good)
She looked fine
(Looked fine)
She looked good, she looked fine
And I nearly lost my mind
Before I knew it she was walking next to me
Singing do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do
Holding my hand just as natural as can be
Singing do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do
We walked on
(Walked on)
To my door
(My door)
We walked on to my door
Then we kissed a little more
I knew we was falling in love
Yes I did, and so I told her all the things
I'd been dreaming of
Now we're together nearly every single day
Singing do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do
We're so happy and that's how we're gonna stay
Singing do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do
I'm hers
(I'm hers)
She's mine
(She's mine)
I'm hers, she's mine
Wedding bells are gonna chime
I knew we was falling in love
Yes I did, and so I told her all the things
I'd been dreaming of
Now we're together nearly every single day
Singing do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do
We're so happy and that's how we're gonna stay
Singing do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do
I'm hers
(I'm hers)
She's mine
(She's mine)
I'm hers, she's mine
Wedding bells are gonna chime
Singing do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do
Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do
Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do

Hey Jude
The Beatles
Hey Jude
Don't make it bad
Take a sad song
And make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start
To make it better
Hey Jude
Don't be afraid
You were made to
Go out and get her
The minute you let her under your skin
Then you begin
To make it better
And anytime you feel the pain
Hey Jude, refrain
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders
For well you know that it's a fool
Who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder
Hey Jude
Don't let me down
You have found her
Now go and get her
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start
To make it better
So let it out and let it in
Hey Jude, begin
You're waiting for someone to perform with
And don't you know that it's just you
Hey Jude, you'll do
The movement you need is on your shoulder
Hey Jude
Don't make it bad
Take a sad song
And make it better
Remember to let her under your skin
Then you'll begin
To make it better, better, better, better, better, better, oh
Da, da da, da da da, da; da da da, da; hey Jude
Da, da da, da da da, da; da da da, da; hey Jude
Da, da da, da da da, da; da da da, da; hey Jude…

Great Balls Of Fire
Jerry Lee Lewis
You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain
Too much love drives a man insane
You broke my will
But what a thrill
Goodness, gracious, great balls of fire
I laughed at love cos I thought it was funny
You came along and moved me honey
I've changed my mind
This world is fine
Goodness, gracious, great balls of fire
Kiss me baby
Mmmm… feels good
Hold me baby, well
I want to love you like a lover should
You're fine
So kind
I want to tell this world that you're mine mine mine mine
I chew my nails and I twiddle my thumbs
I'm real nervous, but it sure is fun
Come on baby
You drive me crazy
Goodness, gracious, great balls of fire
Kiss me baby
Mmmm… feels good
Hold me baby, well
I want to love you like a lover should
You're fine
So kind
I want to tell this world that you're mine mine mine mine
I chew my nails and I twiddle my thumbs
I'm real nervous, but it sure is fun
Come on baby
Drive me crazy
Goodness, gracious, great balls of fire

I Got High
Afroman
I was gonna clean my room
Until I got high
I was gonna get up and find the broom
But then I got high
My room is still messed up
And I know why
Yeah, cos I got high
Because I got high
Because I got high
I was gonna go to class
Before I got high
I coulda cheated and I coulda passed
But I got high
I'm taking it next semester
And I know why
Yeah, cos I got high
Because I got high
Because I got high
I was gonna go to court
Before I got high
I was gonna pay my child support
But then I got high
They took my whole paycheck
And I know why
Yeah, cos I got high
Because I got high
Because I got high
I wasn't gonna run from the cops
But I was high
I was gonna pull right over and stop
But I was high
Now I'm a paraplegic
And I know why
Yeah, cos I got high
Because I got high
Because I got high
I was gonna make love to you
But then I got high
I was gonna eat your pussy too
But then I got high
Now I'm jacking off
And I know why
Yeah, cos I got high
Because I got high
Because I got high
I messed up my entire life
Because I got high
I lost my kids and wife
Because I got high
Now I'm sleeping on the sidewalk
And I know why
Yeah, cos I got high
Because I got high
Because I got high
I'm gonna stop singing this song
Because I'm high
I'm singing this whole thing wrong
Because I'm high
And if I don't sell one copy
I'll know why
Yeah, cos I'm high
Cos I'm high
Cos I'm high

World Turned Upside Down
Roy Bailey
In 1649
To St. George's Hill
A ragged band they called the Diggers
Came to show the people's will
They defied the landlords
They defined the laws
They were the dispossessed
Reclaiming what was theirs
We come in peace they said
To dig and sow
We come to work the lands in common
And to make the waste ground grow
This earth divided
We will make whole
So it will be a common treasury
For all
The sin of property
We do disdain
No man has any right
To buy and sell the earth for private gain
By theft and murder
They took the land
Now everywhere the walls spring up
At their command
They make the laws
To chain us well
The clergy dazzle us with heaven
Or they damn us into hell
We will not worship
The God they serve
The God of greed who feeds the rich
While poor folks starve
We work we eat together
We need no swords
We will not bow to the masters
Or pay rent to the lords
Still we are free
Though we are poor
You Diggers all stand up for glory
Stand up now
From the men of property
The orders came
They sent their hired men and troopers
To wipe out the Digger's claim
Tear down their cottages
Destroy their corn
They were dispersed
But still the vision lingers on
You poor take courage
You rich take care
This earth was made a common treasury
For everyone to share
All things in common
All people one
We come in peace
The orders came to cut them down
We come in peace
The orders came to cut them down

London Calling
The Clash
London calling to the faraway towns
Now that war is declared and battle come down
London calling to the underworld
Come out of the cupboard, you boys and girls
London calling, now don't look to us
Phoney Beatlemania has bitten the dust
London calling, see we ain't got no swing
Except for the ring of the truncheon thing
The ice age is coming
The sun's zooming in
Meltdown expected
The wheat is growing thin
Engines stop running
But I have no fear
London is burning and I
Live by the river
London calling to the imitation zone
Forget it, brother, you can go it alone
London calling upon the zombies of death
Quit holding out and draw another breath
London calling and I don't wanna shout
But while we were talking I saw you nodding out
London calling, see we ain't got no high
Except for that one with the yellowy eye
The ice age is coming
The sun's zooming in
Engines stop running
The wheat is growing thin
A nuclear error
But I have no fear
Cos London is burning and I
Live by the river
Now get this
London calling, yes I was there too
And you know what they said? Well, some of it was true
London calling at the top of the dial
And after all this, won't you give me a smile
I never felt so much a-like, a-like, a-like

Opus Dei (Life Is Life)
Laibach
Life
Life is life
Life
Life is life
When we all give the power
We all give the best
Every minute in the hour
We don't think about the rest
And we all get the power
We all get the best
When everyone gives everything
Then everyone everything will get
Life
Life is life
Life
Life is life
Life is life
When we all feel the power
Life is life
When we all feel the pain
Life is life
It's the feeling of the people
Life is life
It is the feeling of the land
When we all give the power
We all give the best
Every minute in the hour
We don't think about the rest
When we all give the power
We all give the best
And everyone gives everything
And every soul everyone will feel
Life
Life is life
Life
Life is life
Life
We're glad that it's over
We thought it would last
Every minute of the future
Is a memory of the past
Cos we gave all the power
We gave all the best
And everyone lost everything
And perished with the rest
Life
Life is life
Life
Life is life
Life
Life is life
Life
Is
Life

Who Let The Dogs Out
Baha Men
Who let the dogs out
(Woof, woof, woof, woof, woof)
Who let the dogs out
(Woof, woof, woof, woof, woof)
(Woof, woof, woof, woof, woof)
When the party was nice, the party was pumping
(Hey yippie yi yo)
And everybody having a ball
(Hah ho yippie yi yo)
I tell the fellas "...start the name calling..."
(Yippie yi yo)
And the girls report to the call
The poor dog show down
Who let the dogs out
(Woof, woof, woof, woof, woof)
Who let the dogs out
(Woof, woof, woof, woof, woof)
Who let the dogs out
(Woof, woof, woof, woof, woof)
Who let the dogs out
(Woof, woof, woof, woof, woof)
I see ya little speed boat head up our coast
She really want to skip town
Get back off me, beast off me
Get back you flea infested mongrel
(Woof, woof, woof, woof, woof)
(Woof, woof, woof, woof, woof)
(Woof, woof, woof, woof, woof)
(Woof, woof, woof, woof, woof)
I'm gonna tell myself my man knows it's angry
(Hey yippie yi yo)
To any girls calling them canine
(Yippie yi yo)
Tell the dummy 'Hey man, it's part of the party'
(Yippie yi yo)
You fetch a women in front and her mans behind
(Yippie yi yo)
Her bone runs out now
Who let the dogs out
(Woof, woof, woof, woof, woof)
Who let the dogs out
(Woof, woof, woof, woof, woof)
Who let the dogs out
(Woof, woof, woof, woof, woof)
Who let the dogs out
(Woof, woof, woof, woof, woof)
Say, a doggy is nuttin' if he don't have a bone
All doggy hold ya' bone, all doggy hold it
A doggy is nuttin' if he don't have a bone
All doggy hold ya' bone, all doggy hold it
Wait for y'all my dogs, the party is on
I gotta get my girl I got my mind on
Do you see the rays coming from my eye
What could you be friend
That Benji man that's breaking them down
Me and my white short shorts
And I can't seek a lot, any canine will do
I'm figuring that's why they call me faithful
'Cause I'm the man of the land
When they see me they do-ah-ooooo
Who let the dogs out
(Woof, woof, woof, woof, woof)
Who let the dogs out
(Woof, woof, woof, woof, woof)
Who let the dogs out
(Woof, woof, woof, woof, woof)
Who let the dogs out
(Woof, woof, woof, woof, woof)…

Troy
Sinéad O'Connor
I'll remember it
Dublin in a rainstorm
And sitting in the long grass in summer
Keeping warm
I'll remember it
Every restless night
We were so young then
We thought that everything
We could possibly do was right
Then we moved
Stolen from our very eyes
And I wondered where you went to
And tell me when did the light die
You will rise
You'll return
The phoenix from the flame
You will learn
You will rise
You'll return
Being what you are
There is no other Troy
For you to burn
And I never meant to hurt you
I swear
I didn't mean those things I said
I never meant to do that to you
Next time I'll keep my hands to myself instead
Oh, does she love you
What do you want to do
Does she need you like I do
Do you love her
Is she good for you
Does she hold you like I do
Do you want me
Should I leave
I know you're always telling me
That you love me
Just sometimes I wonder
If I should believe
Oh, I love you
God, I love you
I'd kill a dragon for you
I'll die
But I will rise
And I will return
The Phoenix from the flame
I have learned
I will rise
And you'll see me return
Being what I am
There is no other Troy
For me to burn
Well you should've left the light on
You should've left the light on
Then I wouldn't have tried
You'd never have known
Well I wouldn't have pulled you tighter
No I wouldn't have pulled you close
I wouldn't have screamed
No I can't let you go
But the door wasn't closed
No I wouldn't have pulled you to me
No, wouldn't have kissed your face
You wouldn't have begged me to hold you
If we hadn't been there in the first place
Oh but I know you wanted me to be there
Every look that you threw told me so
But you should've left the light on
You should've left the light on
And the flames burned away
But you're still spitting fire
Make no difference what you say
You're still a liar
You're still a liar
You're still a liar

The Colours
Men They Couldn't Hang
I am a member of the council
Of the naval mutiny
And no traitor to my conscience
Having done my sworn duty
These are my last words before the scaffold
And I charge you all to hear
How a wretched British sailor
Became a citizen mutineer
Pressed into service to carry powder
I was loyal to the crack of the whip
If I starved on the streets of Bristol
I starved worse on a British ship
Red is the colour of the new republic
Blue is the colour of the sea
White is the colour of my innocence
Not surrender to your mercy
I was woken from my misery
By the words of Thomas Paine
On my barren soil they fell
Like the sweetest drops of rain
Red is the colour of the new republic
Blue is the colour of the sea
White is the colour of my innocence
Not surrender to your mercy
So in the spring of the year we took the fleet
Every sail and cannon and compass sheet
And we flew a Jacobean flag to give us heart
While Pitt stood helpless we were waiting for Bonaparte
Red is the colour of the new republic
Blue is the colour of the sea
White is the colour of my innocence
Not surrender to your mercy
All you soldiers, all you sailors
All you labourers of the land
All you beggars, all you builders
You come here to watch me hang
And to the masters we are the rabble
We are the swinish multitude
But we can re-arrange the colours
Of the red and the white and the blue
Red is the colour of the new republic
Blue is the colour of the sea
White is the colour of my innocence
Not surrender to your mercy
Red is the colour of the new republic
Blue is the colour of the sea
White is the colour of my innocence
Not surrender to your mercy

Porcelain
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Porcelain
Are you wasting away in your skin
Are you missing the love of your kin
Drifting and floating and fading away
Porcelain
Do you smell like a girl when you smile
Can you bear not to share with your child
Drifting and floating and fading away
Little lune
All day
Little lune
Porcelain
Do you carry the moon in your womb
Someone said that you're fading too soon
Drifting and floating and fading away
Porcelain
Are you wasting away in your skin
Are you missing the love of your kin
Nodding and melting and fading away
Little lune
All day
Little lune
Little lune
All day
Little lune
