| Tug Of War It's a tug of war, what with one thing and another, it's a tug of war. We expected more but with one thing and another, we were trying to outdo each other in a tug of war. In another world, in another world we could stand on top of the mountain with our flag unfurled. In a time to come, in a time to come we will be dancing to the beat played on a different drum. It's a tug of war, though I know I mustn't crumble, it's a tug of war. But I can't let go, if I do, you'll take a tumble and the whole thing is going to crumble, it's a tug of war. (pushing, pulling...) In years to come, they may discover what the air we breathe and the life we lead are all about. But it won't be soon enough, soon enough for me. No, it won't be soon enough, soon enough for me. In another world, in another world we could stand on top of the mountain with our flag unfurled. In a time to come, in a time to come we will be dancing to the beat played on a different drum. We will be dancing to the beat played on a different drum. We will be dancing to the beat played on a different drum. It's a tug of war, what with one thing and another, it's a tug of war. We expected more but with one thing and another, we were trying to outdo each other in a tug of war. Take It Away Take it away, wanna hear you play till the lights go down. Take it away, don't you wanna stay till there's no one else around? Take it away, wanna hear you play till the lights go down. Take it away, don't you wanna stay till there's no one else around? Lonely driver, out on the road with a hundred miles to go. Soul survivor, carrying the load, switches on his radio. Take it away, wanna hear you play till the lights go down. (down, down) Take it away, don't you wanna stay till there's no one else around? Take it away, wanna hear you play till the lights go down. (down, down) take it away, don't you wanna stay till there's no one else around? In the audience, watching the show with a paper in his hand. (in his hand, in his hand) Some important impresario has a message for the band. Oh, take it away, wanna hear you play till the lights go down. (down, down) Take it away, don't you wanna stay till there's no one else around. You never know who may be listening to you. You never know who may be listening to you. Take it away, take it away. After hours, late in the bar by a darkened corner seat, faded flowers waits in the jar till the evening is complete. Somebody Who Cares When your body is coming apart at the seams and the whole thing's feeling low, you're convincing yourself that there's nobody there, I know. I know now you feel. Like somebody has taken the wheels off your car, when you had somewhere to go. Well, it's annoying, not going to get very far, I know. But somebody cares. There's always someone, somewhere, you should know by now, always somebody who cares. It's happening day in, day out, well, you know by now, always somebody who cares. And if you don't know it, how will it find you? How will we know your whereabouts? But I know how you feel. I know how you feel. Like somebody has taken the wheels off your car when you had somewhere to go. Well, it's frustrating, not going to get very far, I know. But somebody cares. There's always someone, somewhere, you should know by now, always somebody who cares. It's happening day in, day out, well, you know by now, always somebody who cares. And if you don't know it, how will it find you? How will we know your whereabouts? But I know how you feel. What's That You're Doing? (McCartney/Wonder) Good morning. Or good afternoon. Good night. What's that you're doing? Girl, I like what you do to me. What's that you're doing? Cause it makes no kind of sense to me. You can make me feel so proud, you can make me holler, ow! Girl, you make me want to dance and sing. My mind is blown and you're the blame, I say it's sunning when it's rain, I jump by leaps and bounds, just call my name. What's that you're saying? Girl, I like the way you talk to me. What's that you're saying? Even if it's wrong, girl, I do agree. Girl, you make me feel so small though I might stand six feet tall. What you've got cuts me right down to size. I'll be the last, you'll be the first, I'll do my best to quench your thirst, I'm the lucky one who keeps the prize. Girl, I like what you're doing, baby, do it some more, mm. Girl, I like what you're doing, baby, do it some more cause I like what you're doing to me, doing to me, now, do it some more. I know I like what you're doing to me, baby, and do it to me, do it to me, do it some more. "Did you know that I'm appreciating what you're doing to me?" "Yeh." "You knew that?" What's that you're doing? Girl, I like what you do to me. What's that you're doing? Cause it makes no kind of sense to me. You can fill my appetite without me taking up a bite, never knew that love could fill you up. You're much too good for me to pass, I'm for the taking, you just ask, we can make it stick with love and luck. Girl, I like what you're doing, baby, do it some more, mm. Girl, I like what you're doing, baby, do it some more. Do it to me, do it to me, now, do it some more. You know I like what you're doing, baby, do it some more, yeah, some more. Now, do it some more. "What's that you're doing?" What's that I'm feeling? That sensation's such a mystery. I know that it's thrilling me and I hope this feeling last eternally. Girl, you make me scream and shout, tell me what it's all about, you make me give in without a fight. I don't have no words to say, you can fill it anyway, and anything you do will turn out right. Girl, I like what you're doing, come on, baby, do it some more. Girl, I like what you're doing, baby, do it some more. she loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah, we love you, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Do it to me some more... Here Today And if I say I really knew you well, what would your answer be? If you were here today, ooo, here today. Well, knowing you, you'd probably laugh and say that we were worlds apart. If you were here today. ooo, here today. But as for me, I still remember how it was before and I am holding back the tears no more. I love you. What about the time we met? Well, I suppose that you could say that we were playing hard to get. Didn't understand a thing, but we could always sing. What about the night we cried because there wasn't any reason left to keep it all inside? Never understood a word, but you were always there with a smile. And if I say I really loved you and was glad you came along. Then you were here today, oo, for you were in my song. Oo, here today. Ballroom Dancing Well, I used to smile when I was a pup sailing down the Nile in china cup, with the recipe for a lovely day sticking out my back pocket. But it wasn't always such a pretty sight cause we used to fight like cats and dogs till we made it up in the ballroom. Ballroom dancing, made a man of me, one, two, three, four, I just plain adore your ballroom dancing, seen it on TV, I got what I got from ballroom dancing. Big B.D. Well, I used to fly when I was a kid and I didn't cry if it hurt a bit, on a carpet ride to a foreign land at the time of Davy Crockett. But it wasn't always such a pretty sight cause we used to fight like cats and dogs till we made it up in the ballroom. Ballroom dancing, made a man of me, one, two, three, four, I just plain adore your ballroom dancing, seen it on TV, I got what I got from ballroom dancing. Big B.D. "Ladies and gentlemen, the band is ready and we're starting with the first of our dances in this competition, that's the 'cha cha cha'." Well, it went so fast and we all grew up, now the days that passed in the china cup are the memories of another day and I wouldn't want to knock it. But it wasn't always such a pretty sight cause we used to fight like cats and dogs till we made it up in the ballroom. Ballroom dancing, made a man of me, one, two, three, four, I just plain adore your ballroom dancing, seen it on TV, I got what I got from ballroom dancing. Big B.D. The Pound Is Sinking The pound is sinking, the peso's failing, the lira's reeling and feeling quite appalling. The mark is holding, the franc is fading, the drachma's very weak but everyone's still trading. The market's bottom has fallen right out and only the strong are survivors. Well I fear, my dear, that it's eminently clear that you can't see the trees for the forest. Your father was an extraordinary man, but you don't seem to have inherited many of his mannerisms. Oh, any of his mannerisms. The dollar's moving, the ruble's rising. The yen is keeping up which hardly seems surprising. The market's bottom has fallen right out and only the stout are survivors. Hear me, my lover, I can't be held responsible now for something that didn't happen, I knew you for a minute. Oh, it didn't happen, only for a minute, your heart just wasn't in it any more. The pound is sinking, the peso's failing, the lira's reeling and feeling quite appalling. Wanderlust Light out wanderlust, head us out to sea. Captain says there'll be a bust, this one's not for me. Take us from the dark out where we can see. Captain's out to make his mark, this one's not to be. Light out wanderlust, help us to be free. Light out wanderlust, do it just for me, wanderlust. Oh, where did I go wrong, my love? What petty crime was I found guilty of? What better time to find a brand new day? Oh, wanderlust away. Light out wanderlust, help us to be free. Light out wanderlust, do it just for me, wanderlust. Captain's out to make his mark, this one's not to be. Light out wanderlust (oh, where did I go wrong, my love?) Head us out to sea (what petty crime was I found guilty of?) Captain says there'll be a bust (what better time to find a brand new day?) This one's not for me (oh, wanderlust away). Dropping a line, maybe this time it's wanderlust for me. Get It You've gotta get it, mm, you've gotta get it, don't forget it doesn't come around again. You've gotta get it, mm, you've gotta get it and you've gotta get it good. Once I had a little Spanish guitar, the neighbors told me I could go pretty far. Well, I came and I went and my guitar got bent. But I discovered that the people who love are what we need if we're to get up above it all, and that's that, unless the world is flat. I wanna get it, mm, I wanna get it just in case it doesn't come around again. I wanna get it, mm, I wanna get it and I wanna get it good. doo doo... Pardon me if I've been misunderstood, I wanna get it while the going is good. The telephone rang about a song I sang. The life of Cadillac and ultra for sure is automatic for the lady demure, she came and she went without a single dent. You've gotta get it, mm, you've gotta get it, don't forget it doesn't come around again. You've gotta get it, mm, you've gotta get it and you've gotta get it good. Doo doo... I had you, go cat! Come on, let's get it, mm, you've gotta get it, don't forget it doesn't come around again. You've gotta get it, mm, you've gotta get it and you've got to get it good. Be What You See Oo, the one you wanted to be is not the one you see. Oo, the one you wanted to be is not the one you see. Dress Me Up As A Robber You can dress me up as a robber, but I won't be in disguise. Only love is a robber and he lives within your eyes, oo. You can dress me up as a sailor, but I'll never run to sea, As long as your love is available to me, what do I do with a sea of blue? Oo. Dressing me up, it doesn't make a difference what you want to do. Whichever way you look at it, I'm still in love with you. If we go on forever, I may never make a change. Dressing me up, and if I don't convince you, you needn't look too far to see that I'm not lying, but I love you the way you are. What's the point of changing when I'm happy as I am? You can dress me up as a soldier, but I wouldn't know what for, I was the one that told you he loved you, don't wanna go to another war, no, no, no. Ebony and Ivory Ebony and ivory live together in perfect harmony, side by side on my piano keyboard, oh, Lord, why don't we?

Ebony and ivory live together in perfect harmony, side by side on my piano keyboard, oh, Lord, why don't we? Ebony, ivory, living in perfect harmony. Ebony, ivory. We all know that people are the same wherever you go, there is good and bad in everyone. And we learn to live, we learn to give each other what we need to survive, together alive.
