"Thank God It's Friday"

Finally the weekend's come
And everything is goin' down
Nine to five and now it's time
For me to get around
Good poppin' ain't no stoppin' everybody's in the mood
Mind blowin' once you feel the music startin' to get to you
Disco nights, party lights, it's all good for me

[1] - Thank God it's Friday
Party lights, Friday night feelin' right
It's a party
Thank God it's Friday
Party lights, Friday night feelin' right
It's a party

Throw your hands up
If you're ready to get down and jam tonight
Music's got ya jumpin'
And you're feeling not a care tonight
Keep goin' don't you stop
Just let this volume get in you
Take some time out for yourself
And let this Friday get to you
Disco nights, party lights
It's all good for me

[Repeat 1]

Oh God, thank you for Friday
Oh thank you heavenly Father
Oooo so many people lookin', lookin' for the spot
There's a party over here
So many people lookin' for the party spot
If you find it
Let me know and I'll be there until I drop
Valet parking at the club
It lets you know it's Friday night
People swayin', music playin'
And this weekend feels so right, yeah

[Repeat 1]

My sistas, enjoy your weekend
And may God bless all of you

I could while away the hours
Conferrin with the flowers
Consultin' with the rain
And my head I'd be scratchin'
While my thoughts were busy hatchin
If I only had a brain

I'd unravel every riddle
For any "individul"
In trouble or in pain

With the thoughts you'd be thinkin'
You could be another Lincoln
If you only had a brain

Oh I could tell you why
The ocean's near the shore
I could think of things I never thunk before
And then I'd sit
And think some more

I would not be just a nothin'
My head all full of stuffin'
My heart all full of pain

I would dance and be merry
Life would be a ding-a-derry
If I only had a brain

Gosh it would be awful pleasin'
To reason out the reason
For things I can't explain

Then perhaps I'll deserve 'ya
And be even worthy er've 'ya
If I only had a brain

Prince - Magnificent

Magnificent
Yeah

So much anticipation
4 this conversation
Such a long time

Life a meeting of two nations
This special occasion
Got us both tongue tied

Let me just say that Eye've respected U
From a distance
Eye've been watching U, sho' been watching you
In the time it took the others 2 say Ur name
We became magnificence

What Eye'm about 2 say will astound U
But Eye can only say it when no one's around U

Magnificent
Magnificent, when it pounds you
Magnificent

The voice that U hear is the alchemy of Ur mind

The two of us like stardust
We go back, yeah we must
To the dawning of all time
To the nuclear reaction
The only present satisfaction
The sweet and sticky kind

Regardless of what they say 2 U
The moment U hear me speak they're through

Like paradise Eye'm so nice
Eye never lose my effect on U

What Eye'm about 2 say will astound U
But Eye can only say it when no one's around U

Magnificent
Magnificent, when it pounds you
Magnificent

The voice that U hear is the alchemy of Ur mind

Counting backwards, a thousand 2 one
Everything we do is so much fun
Do our time before time began
Before Eye was a woman, before U were a man

Before sex and race ever mattered
Tell me now do U understand?

What Eye'm about 2 say will astound U
But Eye can only say it when no one's around U

Magnificent
Magnificent, when it pounds you
Magnificent

The voice that U hear is the alchemy of Ur mind

Magnificent
Magnificent, when it pounds you
Magnificent

The voice that U hear is the alchemy of Ur mind

Oh-ho-ho-hoooo (x4)

Everybody was Kung Fu fighting,
those Cats were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightening,
but they fought with expert timing

There were funky China men from funky Chinatown
They were chopping back up, they were chopping them down
It's an ancient Chinese art, and everybody knew their part
From a faint into a slip, then I'm kickin' from the hip

Everybody was Kung Fu fighting (hunh),
those kicks were fast as lightning (hunh)
In fact it was a little bit frightening (hunh),
but they fought with expert timing (hunh)

There was funky Billy Chin and little Sammy Chung
He said, here comes the big boss, let's get it on
He took a bow and made a stand,
started swaying with the hand
A sudden motion made me skip,
now we're into a brandnew trick

Everybody was Kung Fu fighting,(hunh)
those kicks were fast as lightning(hunh)
In fact it was a little bit frightening,(hunh)
but they did it with expert timing(hunh)

oh,ho,ho,hoooo (4x)

Everybody was Kung Fu fighting,
those kicks were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightening,
make sure you have expert timing

Kung Fu fighting, had to be fast as lightning...

Crossed the path then I followed your face
it was hard to believe
it was hard to trace
I saw you today
seems like I see you everyday
but there's something I figured out 'bout you
ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh yeah

Prince - Cinnamon Girl

Cinnamon Girl
As war drums beat in Babylon
Cinnamon Girl starts 2 pray
Eye never heard a prayer like this one
Never b4 that day

Tearful words of love 4 people
She had never met b4
Asking God 2 grant them mercy
In this face of a holy war

Cinnamon Girl
Cinnamon Girl

Cinnamon Girl of mixed heritage
Never knew the meaning of color lines
9/11 turned that all around
When she got accused of this crime

So began the mass illusion
War on terror alibi
What’s the use when the god of confusion
Keeps on telling the same lie?

Cinnamon Girl
Cinnamon Girl

Don’t cry, don’t shed no tears
One lie won’t make us feel
'Cause we know how
This movie’s ending

Cinnamon Girl

As war drums beat in Babylon
And scorch the blood red sky
Militants bomb the 4eign guns
Both sides - children die

Cinnamon girl opens the book
She knows will settle all the scores
Then she prays: after the war
That there will not b anymore

Cinnamon Girl
Cinnamon Girl
Cinnamon Girl

Moving - supergrass

Moving, just keep moving
Till I don't know what's sane
I've been moving so long
The days all feel the same

Moving, just keep moving
Well I don't know why to stay
No ties to bind me
No reasons to remain

Got a low, low feeling around me
And a stone cold feeling inside
And I just can't stop messing my mind up
Or wasting my time

There's a mow, low feeling around me
And a stone cold feeling inside
I've got to find somebody to help me
I keep you in mind

So I'll keep moving, just keep moving
Well I don't know who I am
No need to follow
There's no way back again

Moving, keep on moving
Where I feel I'm home again
And when it's over
I'll see you again

Got a low, low feeling around me
And a stone cold feeling inside
And I just can't stop messing my mind up
Or wasting my time

There's a mow, low feeling around me
And a stone cold feeling inside
I've got to find somebody to help me
I keep you in mind

ghost

the ghost of you
has almost faded now
you’re drifting in and out
of my life
when leaves fall you'll come right back
‘ cause I was yours for a little while


you will always be
a ghost who lives and breathes
and you lay me down in reverie
every tear that falls
remember me

and I thought I heard your haunting sigh
like your love for me, you said it will never die
but I’ve grown accustomed to your long good-bye
I wish you were mine
Hey... you were mine

you will always be
a love who failed to see
it was cold inside your mystery
every year that falls
remember me

and I can’t let you go
I can't let you go
no

you will always be
a ghost who lives and breathes
and you broke my heart
but I'll make you see
every tear that falls
remember me

hey.....
hey.....
hey..... yeah....
every tear that falls
remember me...

WOW! Who wrote/sings that?

from a wonderful, wonderful film:

the ugly duckling

There once was an ugly duckling
With feathers all stubby and brown
And the other birds, in so many words, said:
(quack) "Get out of town"
(quack) "Get out"
(quack, quack) "Get out"
(quack, quack) "Get out of town"

And he went with a quack and a waddle and a quack
In a flurry of eiderdown

That poor little ugly duckling
Went wandering far and near
But at every place they said to his face:

"Now (quack) get out"
(quack quack) "Get out"
(quack quack) "Get out of here"

And he went with a quack and a waddle and a quack
And a very unhappy tear

All through the wintertime he hid himself away
Ashamed to show his face, afraid of what others might say
All through the winter in his lonely clump of wheat
Till a flock of swans spied him there and very soon agreed:
"You´re a very fine swan indeed!"

"A swan? Me, a swan? Ah, go on!"
And he said "yes, you´re a swan
Take a look at yourself in the lake and you´ll see!"
And he looked, and he saw, and he said
"I am a swan! Wheeeee!"

"I´m not such an ugly duckling
No feathers all stubby and brown
For in fact these birds in so many words said:
(quack) "The best in town"
(quack) "The best"
(quack, quack) "The best"
(quack, quack) "The best in town"

Not a quack, not a quack, not a waddle or a quack
But a glide and a whistle and a snowy white back
And a head so noble and high
"Say who´s an ugly duckling?
Not I!
Not I!"

Zoom
by Commodores

I may be just a foolish dreamer
But I don't care
'Cause I know my happiness is waiting out there somewhere
I'm searching for that silver lining
Horizons that I've never seen
Oh I'd like to take just a moment and dream my dream
Ohhh Dream my dream

(Chorus)
Ohhh Zoom
I'd like to fly far away from here
Where my mind is fresh and clear
And I'd find the love that I long to see
Where everybody can be what they wanna be

Ohh I'd like the greet the sun each morning
And walk amongst the stars at night
I'd like to know the taste of honey in my life, in my life
Well I've shared so many pains
And I've played so many games
Ohh but everyone finds the right way
Somehow
Somewhere
Someday

(Chorus)
Ohhh Zoom
I'd like to fly far away from here
Where my mind can be fresh and clear
And I'll find the love that I long to see
People can be what they wanna be

Ohhhhh I wish the world were truly happy
Living as one
I wish the word they call freedom someday would come
Someday would come

(Chorus)
Ohhh Zoom
I'd like to fly far away from here
Where my mind can be fresh and clear
And I'd find the love that I long to see
Everybody can be what they wanna be Hey, Hey Hey Hey Hey Baby

Zoom
I'd like to fly away
Zoom
I'd like to fly away
Zoom
I'd like to fly away
You and me, baby
Walking free
Don't you wanna go?
Don't you wanna go?

another uplifting song from the same movie (Hans Christian Andersen (1952), starring the legendary Danny Kaye)

thumbelina

Thumbelina, Thumbelina, tiny little thing
Thumbelina dance! Thumbelina sing!
Oh, Thumbelina what’s the difference if you’re very small?
When your heart is full of love you’re nine feet tall!

Though you’re no bigger than my thumb
(than my thumb)
Than my thumb
(than my thumb)
Sweet Thumbelina don’t be glum -
Now now now, ah ah ah, come come come!

Thumbelina, Thumbelina tiny little thing
Thumbelina dance! Thumbaelina sing!
Oh, Thumbelina what’s the difference if you’re very small?
When your heart is full of love you’re nine feet tall!

Though you’re no bigger than my toe
(than my toe)
Than my toe
(than my toe)
Sweet Thumbelina, keep that glow
And you’ll grow and you’ll grow and you’ll grow!

Oh, Thumbelina, Thumbelina, tiny little thing
Thumbelina dance! Thumbalina sing!
Sweet Thumbelina, what’s the difference if you’re very small?
When your heart is full of love you’re nine feet tall!

Light In Your Eyes

I can't remember the last time that we kissed goodbye
All our "I love you's" were just not enough to survive
Something your eyes never told me
But it's only now too plain to see
Brilliant disguise when you hold me
And I'm free
I've been thinking and here's what I've come to conclude
Sometimes the distance is more than two people can use
But how could I have known girl
It was time and not space you would need
Darling tonight I could hold you and you would know
But would you believe
There's a light in your eyes that I used to see
There's a place in your heart where I used to be
Was I wrong to assume that you were waiting for me
There's a light in your eyes
Did you leave that light burning for me
Cards and phone calls and photograph pictures of you
Constant reminder of all the things you get used to
Is there a chance in hell or heaven
That there's still something here to build on
Or do you just pick up the pieces after they fall
But after all
There's a light in your eyes that I used to see
And a song in the words that you spoke to me
Was I wrong to believe in your melody
There's a light in your eyes
Did you leave that light burning for me
Should I keep on waiting or does love keep on fading away
Fading away
It's been a while since I've seen you so how have you been
Did you get my letter I wrote you, but I did not send
I tried to call your old number
But the voice that I heard on the phone
I recognized but she told me the number was wrong
There's a light in my eyes but it's too bright to see
And a pain in my heart where you used to be
Guess I was wrong to assume that you were waiting here for me
There's a light in your eyes
Did you leave that light burning for me

winter

was it really
years ago
did you need me
well, I'll never know
I'm sorry for clinging
I'm sorry for wanting more
my heart was there for you pounding down your door

maybe it was timing
maybe I was too much
running behind you
pushing my love
well, you weren't ready
and you said you thought I knew
but I was taken with your beauty
I was lost inside of you



winter made a sound
maybe next time if you need me
I’ll be around... I'll be around... I'll be around
I'll be around

I never meant to swallow you
you never were my savior maybe just my lover
maybe nothing more

now one more winter
has passed so silently
and I'm tired of longing
that you'll come back to me

winter made a sound
maybe next time
if you need me... yeah… you'll need me
and winter made a sound
I know… if you need me
I'll be around… I'll be around… I'll around
I'll be around

now one more winter I know… now one more winter I
know...
hey… yeah... hey... yeah...

everyday is like sunday

Trudging slowly over wet sand
Back to the bench where your clothes were stolen
This is the coastal town
That they forgot to close down
Armageddon - come Armageddon!
Come, Armageddon! Come!

Everyday is like Sunday
Everyday is silent and grey

Hide on the promenade
Etch a postcard:
"How I Dearly Wish I Was Not Here"
In the seaside town
...that they forgot to bomb
Come, Come, Come - nuclear bomb

Everyday is like Sunday
Everyday is silent and grey

Trudging back over pebbles and sand
And a strange dust lands on your hands
(And on your face...)
(On your face ...)
(On your face ...)
(On your face ...)

Everyday is like Sunday
"Win Yourself A Cheap Tray"
Share some greased tea with me
Everyday is silent and grey

somedays - neneh cherry (how i love this song)

Wake up without a blink
To an even pace where nothing moves
Except the pressure from a funky saturday
Dropping like bricks on my head
Or over the milkyway
Starlit electric beams had only just touched me
I must have dreamt myself astray
The only milkyway I have is in the middle of the day

Somedays are better than somedays
Good Sundays are better than somedays
Today I'd even take a bad Monday
Cause this Sunday's a pure pressure inside of me

Danced till my feet were blue
To erase the thoughts I just remember you
Tears lost in the turn of the years
Return on days like this
Kissing in the sunrays
I knew that it was Sunday
Cause my memory's like blueprint in my head

Somedays are better than somedays
Good Sundays are better than somedays
Today I'd even take a bad Monday
Cause this Sunday's a pure pressure inside of me

Give me grits and eggs give me ham and bacon
And a pancake with some maple syrup
Cause it is Sunday

Another Lonely Christmas ~ Prince


Last night I spent another lonely Christmas
Darling, darling, U should've been there
Cuz all the ones I dream about
U are the one that makes my love shout
U see, U are the only one I care 4


Remember the time we swam naked in your father's pool
Boy, he was upset that night
But boy, was that ever cool
Remember that night we played pokeno 4 money
And U robbed me blind
Remember how U used 2 scream so loud cuz U...
U hated that number 9
Hey, I saw your sister skatin’ on the lake this afternoon
Good heaven, how she's grown
She swoons the boy skaters cuz she's so tall
But of all your father's children
All your father's children, baby
U know U are the finest of them all
U are brighter than the northern star and I...


Last night I spent another lonely Christmas
Darling, darling, U, U should've been there
Cuz U see, of all the ones I dream about
U are the one that makes my love shout
U see, U are the only one I care 4, listen


Do U still like banana daiquiris?
Boy, we used 2 get so tight
Ooh, U used 2 get so horny
U made me leave the lights on
I’d pay money just 2 see your laughin’ dancin’ silhouette upon the pier
Sometimes I think I hear U smiling
Sometimes I think U’re here
I find myself holdin’ every pillow in the bed U and I used 2 share
Last night I spent another lonely Christmas
Darling, U should be, U should be there


Cuz U see, last night I spent another lonely Christmas
Darling, darling, U, U should've been there
Cuz U see, of all the ones I dream about
U are the one that makes my love shout
U see, U are the only one I care 4, yeah


My mama used 2 say always trust your lover
But now I guess that only applies 2 her
Cuz baby, U promised me
Baby, U promised me U'd never leave
Then U died on the 25th day of December


Oh baby, last night, oh, I spent another lonely, lonely Christmas
Darling, baby, U, U should've been there
Cuz all the ones I dream about
U are the one that makes my love shout
U see, U are the only one I care 4, yeah


Your father said it was pneumonia
Your mother said it was stress
But the doctor said U were dead and I...
I say it’s senseless
Every Christmas night 4 7 years now
I drink banana daiquiris till I'm blind
As long as I can hear U smiling, baby
U won't hear my tears
Another lonely Christmas is mine, yeah, mine, yeah
Another lonely Christmas is mine


Last night, yeah, I spent another lonely, lonely Christmas
Darling, darling, U should've been there, yeah
Cuz all the ones I dream about
U are the one that make my love shout
U see, U are the only one I care 4


Another lonely...

Just feelin a little blue today.....

...how come you don't call me anymore?...

Voices, a thousand, thousand voices
Whispering, the time has passed for choices
Golden days are passing over, yeah

I can't seem to see you baby
Although my eyes are open wide
But I know I'll see you once more
When I see you, I'll see you on the other side
Yes, I'll see you, I'll see you on the other side

Leaving, I hate to see you cry
Grieving, I hate to say goodbye
Dust and ash forever, yeah

Though I know we must be parted
As sure as stars are in the sky
I'm gonna see when it comes to glory
And I'll see you, I'll see you on the other side
Yes I'll see you, I'll see you on the other side

Never thought I'd feel like this
Strange to be alone, yeah
But we'll be together
Carved in stone, carved in stone, carved in stone

Hold me, hold me tight, I'm falling
Far away. Distant voices calling
I'm so cold. I need you darling, yeah

I was down, but now I'm flying
Straight across the great divide
I know you're crying, but I'll stop you crying
When I see you, I see you on the other side
Yes. I'll see you. See you on the othe side
I'm gonna see you. See you on the other side
God knows I'll see you, see you on the other side, yeah

I'll see you. See you on the other side
I'm gonna see you. See you on the other side
God knows I'll see you, see you on the other side, yeah
I wanna see you, yeah, yeah, yeah, see you on the other side
God knows I'll see you, see you on the other side, yeah
I'm gonna see you. See you on the other side

Call My Name

Call it, call my name {x2}

Heard your voice this morning callin' out my name
It had been so long since I've heard it
That it didn't really sound quite the same, no
But it let me know that my name
Had never really been spoken before
Before the day I carried U through the bridal path door

And ever since that day I haven't wanted anyone but U
And anybody who really knows me knows the truth
That, uh...

CHORUS:
I just can't stop writing songs about U
I love U so much
I just can't wait 2 get my arms around U
And feel your touch
If I don't see U real soon, baby girl
I might go insane
I know it's only been 3 hours
But I love it when U call my name

Yes I do

Heard a voice on the news sayin' people want 2 stop the war (Stop the war)
If they had a love as sweet as U they'd forget what they were fighting 4
What's the matter with the world 2day?
Land of the free? Somebody lied
They can bug my phone, and peep around my home
They'll only see U and me making love inside

CHORUS
(Ooh, love, love, love, love)
(I can't wait, get my arms...)
(Feel your touch, yes)
(If I don't see U soon, drive me crazy)
(Call it)

Ahh, call my name {x2}

Never seen the moon look so lovely as the night I saw it with U
It let me know I'd never seen the moon before (Never seen the moon before)
So many speak of the moon as though it had no flaws
But 2 compare it 2 a beauty like yours would give one pause

Nothing about U is false, that's why your love is real
That's why your love is real (Talkin' about real love)
God forbid if U belonged 2 another I'd have 2 steal U (I've got 2 take U from your man)
I might be tempted 2 break the law 'round here (Break the law 'round here)
Because your beauty, it gives one pause (Right, yes it does)
It slows me down

CHORUS
(I... love U so much)
(Arms around U, feel your touch)
(Go insane)
(My name)

Honey, would you call it, (call it) call my name
Yeah
Call, call my name
(Prince)
That's right
And I... (Call my name)

GUNS N ROSES - PATIENCE

Shed a tear 'cause I'm missing you
I'm still alright to smile
Girl, I think about you every day now
Was a time when I wasn't sure
But you set my mind at ease
There is no doubt you're in my heart now
Said woman take it slow
It'll work itself out fine
All we need is just a little patience
Said sugar make it slow
And we'll come together fine
All we need is just a little patience
(inhale) Patience...
Ooh, oh, yeah

Sit here on the stairs
'Cause I'd rather be alone
If I can't have you right now, I'll wait dear
Sometimes, I get so tense
But I can't speed up the time
But you know, love, there's one more thing to consider
Said woman take it slow
Things will be just fine
You and I'll just use a little patience
Said sugar take the time
'Cause the lights are shining bright
You and I've got what it takes to make it
We won't fake it, Oh never break it
'Cause I can't take it

...little patience, mm yeah, ooh yeah,
Need a little patience, yeah
Just a little patience, yeah
Some more pati... (ence, yeah)
I've been walking these streets at night
Just trying to get it right (Need some patience, yeah)
It's hard to see with so many around
You know I don't like being stuck in a crowd (Could use some patience, yeah)
And the streets don't change but baby the name
I ain't got time for the game
'Cause I need you (Patience, yeah)
Yeah, yeah well I need you
Oh, I need you (Take some patience)
Whoa, I need (Just a little patience is all we need)
Ooh, this ti- me....

Black Hole Sun- Soundgarden

In my eyes
Indisposed
In disguise
As no one knows
Hides the face
Lies the snake
The sun
In my disgrace
Boiling heat
Summer Stench
'Neath the black
The sky looks dead
Call my name
Through the cream
And I'll hear you
Scream again

(Chorus)
Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun
Won't you come
Won't you come
Won't you come
Won't you come

Stuttering
Cold and damp
Steal the warm wind
Tired friend
Times are gone
For honest men
And sometimes Far too long
For snakes
In my shoes
Walking sleep
And my youth
I pray to keep
Heaven send
Hell away
No one sings
Like you
Anymore

Chorus x2
Won't you come (Black hole sun, black hole sun) x4

Hang my head
Drown my fear
Till you all just
Disappear

Chorus x3

Won't u come (Black hole sun, Black hole sun) x7

Novacaine For The Soul- Eels

Life is hard
And so am I
You'd better give me something
So I don't die
Novocaine for the soul
Before I sputter out
Before I sputter out

Life is white
And I am black
Jesus and his lawyer
Are coming back
Oh my darling
Will you be here
Before I sputter out
Before I sputter out
Before I sputter out

Guess who's living here with the great undead
This paint by numbers life is f***ing with my head, once again

Life is good
And I feel great
Cuz mother says I was
A great mistake
Novocaine for the soul
You'd better give me something to fill the hole
Before I sputter out
Before I sputter out
Before I sputter out
Before I sputter out
