pancho & lefty
Livin' on the road my friend
Was gonna keep you free and clean
Now you wear skin like iron
And your breath's as hard as kerosene
You weren't your mama's only boy
But her favorite one it seems
She began to cry when you said goodbye
And sanks into your dreams
Pancho was a bandit, boys
His horse was fast as polished steel
Wore his gun outside his pants
For all the honest world to feel
Well, Pancho met his match you know
On the deserts down in Mexico
And nobody heard his dyin' words
Ah but that's the way it goes
All the Federales say
Could of had him any day
Only let him any day
Hang around
Out of kindness I suppose
Lefty, he can't sing the blues
All night long like he used to
The dust that Pancho bit down south
Ended up in Lefty's mouth
The day they laid poor Pancho low
Lefty split for Ohio
Where he got the bread to gop
There ain't nobody knows
Well, the poets tell how Pancho fell
And Lefty's livin'in a cheap hotel
The dessert's quiet and Cleveland's cold
So the story end's, we're told
Pancho needs your prayer's it's true
But save a few for Lefty too
He just did what he had to do
And now he's growin'old
A few gray Federales say
Could have had him any day
Only let him go so long
Out of kindness I suppose
X-PRESS 2 & KURT WAGNER
give it
Here comes the cool air, the light chill of the fall
Blowing from either direction
Blowing across the yard it's crisp and it's cool
Dogs like it, as they sit around in the sun
And stubbornly i remain under a tree
The wind gusts up stronger from time to time
We're supposed to grow cold as the day wears on
I'm a looking for the future, today, today, today, today
I guess i should give it, give it a little more time
I guess i should give it, give it a little more time
A rednecks safe from a bitchy English professor
He seemed unconcerned with my purity of expression
And i can see his point, which is all well and good...
Shake this time when it doesn't really mind
You do just fine and you wont next time
If you want it
Back to the weather, i must admit it looked pretty nice
Why are my legs shaking
Why are there still mosquitoes
Shouldn't they be in bed and dead by now
I guess i should give it, give it a little more time
I guess i should give it, give it a little more time
Shake this time when it doesn't really mind
You do just fine and you wont next time
If you want it
I guess i should give it, give it a little more time

la chambre
Dans ma chambre
vous croqueriez
une pomme petite
vous tremperiez
Dans le thé des langues de chat
En silence
Et après le débat
comme dit Casanova
Fronçant les sourcils vous diriez
C'est bizarre
Dans ma chambre vous croqueriez
une pomme petite
vous tremperiez
Dans le thé des langues de chat
En silence
Et après le débat
comme dit Casanova
Fronçant les sourcils vous diriez
Ç'a été?
Car vous n'auriez qu'un mot à dire
Dans la rue la journée
Pour vous servir d'acolyte
j'aurais mon parapluie qui sait?
Dans ma chambre vous croqueriez
une pomme petite
vous tremperiez
Dans le thé des langues de chat
En silence
Et après le débat
comme dit Casanova
Fronçant les sourcils vous diriez
C'est bizarre
Car vous n'auriez qu'un mot à dire
Dans la rue la journée
Si seulement il vous en disait
vous croqueriez
une pomme petite
vous tremperiez
Dans le thé des langues de chat
En silence
Et après le débat
comme dit Casanova
Fronçant les sourcils vous diriez
C'est bizarre

MIDNIGHT OIL
beds are burning
(Original).................................(Remix)
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 fair's fair
To pay the rent
To pay our share
The time has come
A fact's a fact
It belongs to them
Let's give it back
How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning
How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning
The time has come to say fairs fair
to pay the rent, now to pay our share
Four wheels scare the cockatoos
From Kintore East to Yuendemu
The western desert lives and breathes
In forty five degrees
The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent
To pay our share
The time has come
A fact's a fact
It belongs to them
Let's give it back
How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning
How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning
The time has come to say fair's fair
To pay the rent, now to pay our share
The time has come, a fact's a fact
It belongs to them, let's give it back
How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning
FUGEES
ready or not
Ready or not, here I come, you can't hide
Gonna find you and take it slowly
Ready or not, here I come, you can't hide
Gonna find you and make you want me
Now that I escape, sleepwalker awake
Those who could relate know the world ain't cake
Jail bars ain't golden gates
Those who fake, they break,
When they meet their 400 pound mate
If I could rule the world
Everyone would have a gun in the ghetto of course
When giddyupin' on their horse
I Kick a rhyme drinkin' moonshine
I pour a sip on the concrete, for the deceased
But no don't weep, Wyclef's in a state of sleep
Thinkin' 'bout the robbery that I did last week.
Money in the bag, banker looked like a drag
I want to play with pelicans from here to Baghdad
Gun blast, think fast, I think I'm hit
My girl pinched my hips to see if I still exist.
I think not, I'll send a letter to my friends,
A born again hooligan only to be king again.
Ready or not, here I come, you can't hide
Gonna find you and take it slowly
Ready or not, here I come, you can't hide
Gonna find you and make you want me
I play my enemies like a game of chess,
where I rest, No stress
If you don't smoke sess, lest.
I must confess, my destiny's manifest
In some Goretex and sweats I make treks like I'm homeless
Rap orgies with Porgy and Bess,
Capture your bounty like Elliot Ness,
Yes, Bless you if you represent the Fu
But I'll hex you with some witch's brew if you're
Doo Doo, Voo Doo,
I can do what you do, easy, Belive me
Frontin' niggas give me hee-bee-gee-bees
So while you're imitating Al Capone I'll be Nina Simone
And defacating on your microphone.
Ready or not, here I come, you can't hide
Gonna find you and take it slowly
You can't run away
From these styles I got,
oh baby, hey baby
Cause I got a lot, oh yeah
And anywhere you go
My whole crew's gonna know
oh baby, hey baby
You can't hide from the block, oh no.
Ready or not, refugees takin' over
The Buffalo soldier, dread-lock rhasta
On the twelfth hour, fly by in my bomber Crews run for cover,
now they're under pushin' up flowers
Superfly true lies, do or die, Toss me high - only puff la,
With my crew from lock high I refugee from Guantanamo Bay
Dance around the border like I'm Cassius Clay
Ready or not, here I come, you can't hide
Gonna find you and take it slowly
Ready or not, here I come, you can't hide
Gonna find you and make you want me
Ready or not, here I come, you can't hide
Gonna find you and take it slowly
Ready or not, here I come, you can't hide
Gonna find you and make you want me

voices
If you could see my mind,
if you really look deep,
then maybe you'll find
That somewhere there will be a place,
hidden behind my comedian face
You will find somewhere there's a house,
and inside that house there's a room
Locked in the room in the corner you see
A voice is waiting for me,
to set it free,
I got the key
I got the key
Voices, I hear voices
In my head the voice is waiting,
waiting for me to set it free
I locked it inside my imagination,
but I'm the one who's got the combination
Some people didn't like what the voice did say
So I took the voice and I locked it away,
I got the key
I got the key
Voices, I hear voices, voices, I hear voices
Don't look back,
look straight ahead,
don't turn away,
then the voice it said
Don't look back,
yesterday's gone,
don't turn away,
you can take it on
Voices, I hear voices, voices, I hear voices
Voices, voices, voices, voices
don't look back
Voices, voices
if you really look deep,
then maybe you'll find
That somewhere there will be a place,
