Now write this down!
I'll never be your beast of burden.
My back is broad, but it's a' hurtin'.
All I want is for you to make love to me.
I'll never be your beast of burden.
I walk for miles, my feet are hurtin'.
All I want is for you to make love to me.
What's the matter with me?

Every night while I'm undressin',
sayin' my prayers and lightly confessin',
I can hear hot licks
from a set of drums upstairs.

Well, it couldn't be Johnny 'cause he isn't there;
Johnny's overseas. We no not where.
But, believe it or not, every night on the dot

"Oh, that's so heavy. We're goanna do a, a Neil Young song. Neil is so heavy. Neil is so mellow and laid back. I'm trying my best to be mellow and laid back. You know, I have even gone organic. Last week I ate an Earth Shoe. Oh, did I sing the ballad yet? Was it wonderful? Oh, did I sing it? I didn't sing it, did I. Oh, so sorry."

Lover, there will be another one
to hover over you beneath the sun.
Tomorrow, see the things that never come
today.

And you see me fly away without you.

Blueberry Pie, he walks on by
and I don't know what to do
with that Blueberry Pie,
but I'm gonna try.
Oh, Blueberry Pie, sad and shy,
won't you come out of your shell?
Life is swell, so are you!
Please don't be so very blue.

"Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy"

He was a famous trumpet man from out Chicago way.
He had a boogie style that no one else could play.
He was the top man at his craft,
but then his number came up and he was gone with the draft.
He's in the army now. He's blowin' reveille.
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of company B.

I got a funny feelin' that all of you girls
Had better hold on to your man.
'Cause I feel, I says I feel,
I feeeeel like breaking up somebody's home.

See, lying here all alone
On a rainy night like this.
Starvin' for some lovin'.

Come on-a my house, my house, I'm-a gonna give you candy.
Come on-a my house, my house, I'm-a gonna give you
apple and a plum and an apricot or two, ah!

Come on-a my house, my house come on.
Come on-a my house, my house-a come on.
Come on-a my house, my house, I'm-a gonna give you
figs and dates and grapes and a cake, ah!

Daytime husler, you're out of line.
Don't ya try to change my mind!
Don't you try.
You see, I ain't no fool.
No, I can tell,
Oh, baby, you ain't my kind!
My kind!

And I am all alone.
There is no one here beside me.
And my problems have all gone.
There is no one to deride me.

But you got to have friends.
The feeling's oh so strong.
You got to have friends

Песня о том, как всё кажется издалека, на расстоянии привлекательным, и что является в действительности ужасным. О том, что Бог наблюдает за нами, присматривает. Возможна интерпретация о созерцательной позиции Бога по отношению к людям.
Не эта версия, но оригинал песни в исполнении той же певицы стала Песней года за 1990 г. Эта версия 2006 г.

I don't know if You can hear me
Or if You're even there
I don't know if You will listen
To a humble prayer
They tell me I am just an outcast
I shouldn't speak to You
Still, I see your face and wonder
Were You once an outcast, too?

We had an apartment in the city.
Me and my husband liked living there.
It's been years since the kids have grown,
a life of their own, left us alone.

John and Linda live in Omaha.
Joe is somewhere on the road.
We lost Davy in the Korean war.

I put a spell on you
and now you're mine.
You can't stop the things I do.
I ain't lyyyyyin'.

It's been 300 years
right down to the day,
now the witch is back

"That's it, baby! When you got it, flaunt it, flaunt it!"
"This is the Divine Miss M
and I'm here to share with you some rare
and stimulating insight into my cosmic fabulosity.
It's really very simple. I smiply believe with all my heart:"

I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful, dammit!
I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful, dammit!

Jumping with my boy, Sid
right here in the city.
Don't you know that is was grand?
Really grand, so grand.
And then you came along,
then you came along, boy.
And sang your groovy song,
sang a song and I asked:

You know I been thinkin'
Lord, about the hard sides of rock and roll.
They say you can't make no money,
Oh, unless you're the Rolling Stones.
That put a chip on my shoulder;
Gave me the fire in my in my blood.

[Chorus]

[Man:] "All right! She's gonna sing!"
[Rose:] "All right, we all turn to page 438.
Now, you know we all gonna sing along.
Oh, I do love a revue."

Ohhhhhh!
You know, women don't like this woman,
'cause I always speak my mind.

Lookin' back over my years
I guessed, I've shedded some tears
Told myself time and time again
This time I'm gonna win

But another fight, things ain't right
I'm losin' again
Takes a fool to lose twice

Time: 2:15, the AM.
Place: Ronardo's "Boom-Boom-Room" on South Street
I'm a hot blonde and it was a cold night
This is my story. I ain't ashamed to tell it
I was hungry, tired and lookin' for love

I was just a pilgrim in the hot pursuit of love
Wandered from disco to disco

"I think I'll sing you a little ballad.
It's a new one. I just learnt it.
Oh, I hope you like it."

Got my mother's eyes and my father's hair.
Does anybody really care?
It's gettin' cold out here.

My one true friend

And now, is it too late to say
How you made my life so different in your quiet way
I can see the joy in simple things
A sunlit sky and all the songs we used to sing

I have walked and I have I prayed

Five, six, five, six, seven let's go!
Let's go, go, go!
Let's go, let's go, let's really go!

One more round, girls.
Let the Boy Scouts hear you.
One for your mother and
Two for your teachers and

Girl we've got work to do
pass me the paint and glue
perfect isn't easy
but it's me

when one knows the world is watching
one does what one must
a few minor adjustments darling

Come on down lightning.
Come on down thunder.
Come on down raindrops.
Don`t leave me to wonder.
Life ain`t worth loving,
love ain`t worth having
without you.

I read that it's all black and white.
Oooh, the spectrum made a shade I like!
Ooh, those crinsom rays of ruby bright.
Ah! The technicolor li-i-ight!

Red! Red! I want red!
There's no substitute for red!
Red! Paint it red!

Here she is, boys!
Here she is, world!
Here's Rose!

Curtain up!
Light the lights!
Play it, boys!

sisters, sisters
there were never such devoted sisters
never had to have a chaperone, no sir
i'm here to keep my eye on her
caring, sharing
every little thing that we are wearing
when a certain gentleman arrives from Rome
she wore the dress and i stayed home

Skylark, have you anything to say to me?
Can you tell me where my love may be?
Is there a meadow in the mist
Where he's just waiting to be kissed?

Skylark, have you seen a valley green with spring
Where my heart can go a journeying
Over the shadows and the rain

Drive me home silver eagle.
Drive me away from last night's news.
Empty beds, crowds of people.
Oh, come on, white girl, sing the blues.

Warm mister, hold me like you love me.
Why don't you make me
feel real good for free?

Where did you go when things went wrong, baby?
Who did you run to?
Find a shoulder to lay your head upon.
Baby, wasn't I there?
Didn't I take good care of you?
But, oh, no. I can't believe you're leaving me, yeah.

Stay with me, baby.

I was alone on a shelf
In a world by myself
Oh, where could my prince charming be
But a man came along
Made my life like a song
And taught me these words of ecstasy
Tenderly

Long ago and so far away,
I fell in love with you before the second show.
And your guitar just sounds so sweet and clear,
but you're not really here.
It's just the radio.

Don't you remember you told me you loved me, baby?
Said you'd be comin' back this way again, baby.

You ask me what I want.
You ask me what I need.
It's nothing you can buy.
My heart's not ruled by greed.
I don't love a diamond.
Diamond's you see through.
I want you to hold me.
I want you to be true.

Some say love, it is a river
That drowns the tender reed.
Some say love, it is a razor
That leaves your soul to bleed.
Some say love, it is a hunger,
An endless aching need.
I say love, it is a flower,
And you it's only seed.

I didn't want you to see me like this.
The light of the dawn can be cruel.
How I want, how I want to deserve you.
And if I could be granted a wish,
I'd shine in your eye like a jewel.
How I want to deserve you.

I see so many golden women;

Oh, the sun beats down
and burns the tar up on the roof.
And your shoes get so hot,
you wish your tired feet were fireproof.
Under the boardwalk, down by the sea,
on a blanket with my baby is where I'll be.

From the park you hear

You give your hand to me
and then you say, "Hello."
And I can hardly speak,
my heart is beating so.
And anyone can tell
you think you know me well.
Hell, you don't know me.
You don't know me.

You can pull all the stops out
Till they call the cops out
Grind your behind till you're bend
But you gotta get a gimmick
If you wanna get a hand

You can sacrifice your sacharo
Working in the back row
