STAYING POWER
---------------
Let me show it to you, see what I got
I got a hell of a lot, tell me what you feel
Is it real, is it real
You know I got what it takes and I can take a lot
Did you hear the last call baby
You and me got staying power
You and me got staying power
Staying power I got it I got it
I wonder when we're wanna make it
I wonder when we're wanna shake it
Rock me baby rock me, c'mon you can shock me
Let's catch on to the groove
Make it move, make it move
You know how to shake that thing
We'll work it, work it, work it
You and I can play ball baby
You and me got staying power
You and me got staying power
I wonder when we're wanna make it
I wonder when we're wanna shake it
I got fire down below, I'm just a regular dinamo
Want some smooth company
Don't loose control just hang on out with me
Got to get to know each other
But you got plenty of time
Did you hear the last call baby
You and me got staying power
We got staying power, power
I wonder when we're wanna stick it
I wonder when we're wanna trick it
Blow baby blow, let's get down and go go
Get yourself in the mood, got to give a little bit of attitude
Baby don't you crash, let just trash trash trash
Did you hear the last call baby
You and me got staying power
We got staying power...staying power...got'cha
DANCER
--------
I'm not invited to the party been sitting here all night
I'm all alone here at the party, I don't feel all right
Ain't got no black coat, ain't got no tie
I gotta shape up now, you gotta know why
Dancer, dancer, I can't live with it I'm gotta die without it
Dancer, dancer, ain't no doubt about it
Dancer, dancer why don't you kick off your dancing shoes and come along with me
You're the life and soul of the funk-tion
It took me all night
To get hold of the right introduction
Blew me out of sight
I taste your lipstick, I look in your eyes
You feel fantastic, my body cries
Hot space
Dancer, dancer, I can't believe your dancing
Can't take you home, can't take your dancing
Dancer, dancer, dance the night away
BACK CHAT
-----------
Back chat, back chat, you burn all my energy
Back chat, back chat, criticising all you see
Back chat, back chat, analysing what I say
Back chat, back chat, and you always get your way
Oh yeah see what you've done to me
Back chat, back chat, you're driving me insane
It's a battle to the end, knock you down, you come again
Talk back, talk back, you've got me on the rack
Twisting every word I say
Wind me up and get your way
Fat chance I have of making a romance
If I'm ever going to win
I'll have to get the last word in
Take it from there
Twisting every word I say
Wind me up and get your way
Back chat, back chat, you burn all my energy
Back chat, back chat, criticising all you see
Back chat, back chat, analysing what I say
Back chat, back chat, and you always get your way
Wake up stand up and drag yourself on out
Get down get ready, scream and shout
Back off, be cool and learn to change your ways
Cos you're talking in your sleep
And you're walking in a daze
Don't push your luck I'm ready to attack
Cos when I trying to talk to you
All you do is just talk but
You stand so tall, you don't frighten me at all
Don't talk back, don't talk back, don't talk back
Just leave me alone
Back chat, back chat, you burn all my energy
Back chat, back chat, criticising all you see
Back chat, back chat, analysing what I say
Back chat, back chat, and you always get your way
Yes you do

ACTION THIS DAY
-----------------
Action, this street, honey, is a mean street
Living in this street, honey, needs a mean streek
We've got criminals living in this street
But there's a heartbeat pulse that keeps on pumping
Like a jukebox playing the same dead record
Or a radio in the corner keeps blaring
I gotta feeling, this world is using me
This town, honey, is a dead town
Living in this town, honey, is a let-down
Coming to this town, honey, it's a showdown
But there's a heartbeat pulse that keeps on pumping
Some sunshine ray through a crack in a shutter
Or a sight of a light at the end of the tunnel
Still there's a feeling, this world is using me
Action this day, action this night
We've gotta learn to learn to live, to love
You can't say it ain't right
Action this day, action this night
You've got the power, you've got the power
You've got the power to love and to live
You can't say it ain't right
Your mind, honey, is a break place
Living in your mind's living in a blank space
Your mind is coming from a rat race
But there's a heartbeat pulse that keeps on pumping
Like a jukebox playing the same dead record
Or a radio in the corner keeps blaring
I gotta feeling, that just won't quit, this world is using me
Action this day, action this night
We've gotta learn to learn to live, to love
You can't say it ain't right
Action this day, action this night
You've got the power, you've got the power
You've got the power to love and to live
You can't say it ain't right
Action, action this day
PUT OUT THE FIRE
------------------
They called him a hero in the land of the free
But he wouldn't shake my hand boy
He disappointed me, so I got my handgun
And I brew him away
That critter was a bad guy
I had to make him pay
You might fear for my reason
I don't care what they say
Look out baby it's the season for the mad masquerade
Put out the fire
You need a bullet like a hole in the head
Put out the fire
Don't believe what your gran-daddy said
She was my love, it was a shame she died
But the constitution's right on my side
Cos I caught my lover in my neighbour's bed
I got retribution, filled 'em full of lead
I've been told it's the fashion
To let me on the streets again
It's nothing but a crime of passion
And I'm not to blame
Put out the fire
You need a weapon like a hole in the head
Put out the fire
And let your sons and your daughters sleep sound in their beds
You know a gun never killed nobody
You can ask anyone, people get shot by people, people with guns
Put out the fire
You need a gun like a hole in the head
Put out the fire, just tell me that old fashioned gun - law!!!!
Is dead
Shoot, shoot
A-aaah, shoot, shoot
LIFE IS REAL (SONG FOR LENNON)
--------------------------------
Guilt stains on my pillow, blood on my terraces
Torsos in my closet, shadows from my past, life is real
Life is real, life is real, so real
Sleepin' in my leisure, waking up in a minefield
Dream is just a pleasure dome, love is roulette wheel
Life is real, life is real
Oh yeah
Success is my breathing space
I brought it on myself
I will price it, I will cash it, I can take it or leave it
Loneliness is my hiding place
Breastfeeding myself, what more can I say
I have swallowed the bitter pill
I can taste it, I can taste it.
Life is real, life is real, life is real
Music will be my mistress, loving like a whore
Lennon is a genius, living in every pore
Life is real, life is real, life is real, so real
Life is cruel, life is a bitch, life is real, so real
CALLING ALL GIRLS
-------------------
Calling all boys, boys, calling all girls, girls
Calling all people on streets
Around the world.
Take this message, a message for you,
This message is old yeah, this message is true
Yeah message is, yeah message is, yeah message is
Love, take a message of love, for all to hear
Love, take a message of love, for all to hear
Some foreign presence you feel, comes creeping through
Some stream of hope, the whole world through
Spread like some silent disease
You'll get yours too
This message is love
Take a message of love, far and near
This message is love, for all to hear
This message is love, for all to hear
Calling all boys, boys, calling all girls, girls
LAS PALABRAS DE AMOR (THE WORDS OF LOVE)
------------------------------------------
Don't touch me now, don't hold me now
Don't break the spell darling, now you are near
Look in my eyes and speak to me
The special promises I want to hear
Las palabras de amor
Let me hear the words of love
Despacito mi amor
Love me slow and gently
One foolish world, so many souls
Senselessly hurled through the never ending cold
And all for fear, and all for greed
Speak any tongue but for God's sake we need
Las palabras de amor
Let me hear the words of love
Despacito mi amor
Let me know, this night & evermore
This room is bare, this night is cold
We're far apart and I'm growing old
But while we live, we'll meet again
So then my love we may whisper once more
It's you I adore
Las palabras de amor
Let me hear the words of love
Despacito mi amor
Touch me now
Las palabras de amor
Let us share the words of love
For evermore, for evermore
COOL CAT
----------
You're taking all the sunshine away
Making out like you're the mainline - I knew that
Cos you're a cool cat, tapping on the toe with a new hat
Just cruising - driving along like the swing king
Feeling the best of my heart
Feeling the best of my heart
You're a cool cat coming on strong with all the chit-chat
You're alright, hanging out and stealing all the limelight
Messing with the beat of my heart
Messing with the beat of my heart
You used to be a mean kid making such a deal of life
You were wishing and hoping and waiting to really hit the big time
But did it happen, happen, no,
You're speeding too fast, slow down
You're speeding too fast, slow down
You'd better slow down, slow down, you really know how to set the mood
And you really get inside the groove.
Cool cat...
Cos you're a cool cat, tapping on the toe with a new hat
Just cruising - driving along like the swing king
Feeling the best of my heart
Feeling the best of my heart
UNDER PRESSURE
----------------
Pressure pushing down on me
Pressing down on you no man ask for
Under pressure - that burns a building down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets
It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming let me out
Pray tomorrow - gets me higher
Pressure on people - people on streets
Chippin' around - kick my brains around the floor
These are the days it never rains but it pours
People on streets - people on streets
It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming let me out
Pray tomorrow - gets me higher
Pressure on people - people on streets
Turned away from it all like a blind man
Sat on a fence but it don't work
Keep coming up with love but it's so slashed and torn
Why - why - why
Love
Insanity laughs under pressure we're cracking
Can't we give ourselves one more chance
Why can't we give love that one more chance
Why can't we give love
Cause love's such an old fashioned word
And love dares you to care for
The people on the edge of the night
And love dares you to change our way of
Caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves
Under pressure
Under pressure
Pressure
