What's Going On?
01:56
|

Standing by the stage side
Eyes wide
Tapping with my boot toe… What's going on?
Dressed up in a suit and tie
A modern guy
Watching as the time flows… What's goin' on?
My baby by my side
She's a'just about'a start
To break a' shakin’… What's going on?
Snappin' with her fingertips
Clapping hands, shaking hips
It's alright… What's going on?
What's going on?… What's going on?… What's going on?
The band's playin' loud
And the crowd scream and shout
For more and more and more… What's going on?
My baby shakin' wild
And the cigarette butts are piled
Up in the ashtrays… What's going on?
Buzzing like them bees
People jumping on their kneesÒ
And moving to and fro…What's going on?
I'm caught up by the stream
Is it for real or just a dream
I cannot tell no more… What's going on?
What's going on?… What's going on?… Ahhhou !
Tripping in a fluide light
Uptight
Is a lady dancer… What's going on?
You find yourself weary
But no matter how you try you get no answer
What's goin' on?… What's goin' on?… What's goin' on?

There's danger on the corner, Stranger
We all need our Power - Rangers
Don't come in on Frustration
We need the Relaxation
There's Power all above us, Ranger
Big Brother's watching in / out, Stranger
Act as if on Probation
Don't fall in Aggravation
Come... In the Scene, Don't... miss the Ring
Join... In Circle, Under-the-Ground We SEE
Follow your Revelation
Make it a Sensation
Now you got the Power, Stranger
The Danger's on our Corner, Ranger

Strawberry Blonde
Strawberry Means Love
Stars in your Eyes
Freckles on your Face
... You Never Tell Lies
You Watch While the Earth
... Cries!
Up in the Stars
Down Where your Eyes lies
We Long and We Sigh
The Apple of our Eye
... You Never Tell Lies
You Watch While the Earth
... Lies!
Strawberry! ... Until the last straw
Strawberry! ... Fairies the winds blow
Strawberry Shortcake
The one that you will bake
Taste like it is Fake
Making my Mind Rake
... You Never Tell Lies
You Watch While the Earth
... Dies!
Strawberry... Cranberry... Blueberry... Wild Berries...
Strawberry... Cranberry... Blueberry... Wild Berries...
Strawberry...Strawberry...Strawberry...Strawberry...

Give Me A Gun
03:31
|

Lucy, do you hear me
I know that you love me
I’ll do all my best… To make you feel fine
Lucy, won’t you heal me
I’m feeling down, can you hear me
I did ask my best… The best I could
Yesterday I thought… You felt the same
Give me a gun
Give me a gun
(Solo)
Lucy, you cheated on me
Sweetie, I’m going crazy
I gave you my heart… Right from the start
A gun in my hand… And our last dance
Give me a gun
(You cheated on me)
Give me a gun
(Give me your love baby)
Give me a gun
(I’m knocking on your door)
Give me a gun
(Right on the floor)
Give me a gun
(Oh, Lucy)
Give me a gun
(Oh, Lucy)

Baa, Baa, Black Sheep

Baa Baa Black Sheep, Have you any Cool?
Yes sir, mister, three bags fool!
Moo Moo White Cow, Have you any Milk?
Yes ma'am, honey, two spoonful!
Try your way, no matter if you skip, don't flip
Don't let people tell you what to do, just do
It don't matter if you're on your own, you'll own
Black sheep among the white herd you'll be, just be!
Here comes Underground
... Come on the ground!
Here comes Underground
... Come on the ground!
Here comes Underground
... Come on the ground!
Here it comes now... On the ground!
People won't crowd you, you will be left, a lone.
A lone ranger fighting windmills in... your mind.
Sacrifice yourself finding a way, your way.
Searching new paths, you won't lose, just choose, you'll win.
Baa Baa Black Sheep, Have you any Cool?
Yes sir, prankster, three bags fool!
Moo Moo White Cow, Have you any Milk?
Yes ma'am, baby, I'm no fool!

Contrary Man
03:33
|

Contrary Man, Counter You Man!
The opposite counter is where he stand
Right is wrong and wrong is right!
Argue with him and he’ll start a fight
He’s politically incorrect
He’ll never be part of your sect
Don’t you know I’m the Contrary Man?
I fight for me and the opposite plan!
Don’t you know I’m always right?
The right side I’ll be when you are left!
He’s politically incorrect
He’ll never be part of your sect
(Break x4 -> Lead/ Solo )
(Bridge : ) There’s always some right in your wrong
There’s always some bad in your good
The truth lies somewhere in between
Some place where you have never been
Whatever hot or cold, good or bad
Black or white, the third side’s on sight!
Sweet or sour, night or day
From your plays and ways, I found a third way!!
He’s politically incorrect
He’ll never be part of your sect
He believes you’re mentally weak
He’ll never be part of your clique
(Break x4 -> End )

Jinx

Bad Luck, You Wear A Jinx
Tough Break, For Your Own Sake
Too Much, I Can Not Take
Hang On, It’s Gotta Break
Ah… Aah… Aaah
Ah… Aah… Aaah
So Much, I Had To Take
All Day, Without A Break
Omen, Bad Me, Oh! My
My Life, Destined To Cry
Ah… Aah… Aaah
Break The Pattern, Make Your Own Terms, Wake And Walk On
Oh! Me, Oh! My, Bad Me Omen
Oh! Me, Oh! My, Destined To Cry
Break The Pattern, Make Your Own Terms, Wake And Walk On
Take The Lantern, Break Your Own Ground, Talk Your Way Out
Oh! My, Oh! Me, Oh! My
Why Can’t, They Let Me Go?
Always, Losing My Chance
Forever, Missed Opportunities

Dreaming
Little mademoiselle swingin’
Talking
Of the goodies of walking
She tip toes across the land
Looking glass in the palm of her hand
Palm of her hand…
Drifting
Her words sound uplifting
Willing
Things she doesn’t believe in
Tossing and turning in sleep
There ’s a promise he didn’t keep
He didn’t keep…
Hey, Hey, Hey!
What Is The Hour Of The Day?
Hey, Hey, Hey!
I guess I’m Going Insane!
Daring
And really not caring
Showing
All the good things going
She tip toes across the sand
To the sea which is out of command
Out of command…
Hey, Hey, Hey!
What Is The Hour Of The Day?
Hey, Hey, Hey!
I guess I’m Going Insane!

The Dance Cicada
05:00
|
|||
I'm making the scene, making the scene, making the scene… Hustling the Teen
I'm working my team, working my team, working my team... As long as my dream
... On the yellow brick road
You don't do as you're told
Sleep late into mornings
Get busy in evenings
All the visions, All the tensions
All the thinking, All the make and do
All the wishing, All the hoping
All the crying, You can pass it thru
You can pass it thru, You can break on through
You can plan it too, You can work it thru... You!
You're wasting my time, wasting my time, wasting my time... That is your crime
I'm studying your line, studying your line, studying your line... I won't get a fine
... I follow the rainbow
As far as the wind blows
Avoiding the holes
One can walk to the poles
All the visions, All the tensions
All the thinking, All the make and do
All the wishing, All the hoping
All the crying, You can pass it thru
You can pass it thru, You can break on through
You can plan it too, You can work it thru... You!
...The dance cicada, The ants at work
While the rat races, I do the Jerk! ...
Someday I'll know, someday I'll know, someday I'll know... I'll get on your Top
Someday you'll blow, someday you'll blow, someday you'll blow...
And your head will Pop
... Follow that rainbow
As far as the wind blows
Avoiding the holes
One can walk to the poles
...You can pass it thru, You can break on through
You can plan it too, You can work it thru
You can pass it thru, You can break on through... You!

Mother Fades
04:01
|

Mother fades on
Mother fades off
Holding heavy crutches
She tracks on narrow clutches
... Biding her time
Walking on thin line
Mother Nature, Mother's fading!
Mother's hanging on Mother Nature
Hangin' on her walker
Mother keeps a talker
... From the kitchen to the living room chair
She walks on breathing thin air
Mother Nature, Mother's fading!
Mother's hanging on Mother Nature
Mother circles on
Keeps on fighting long
Stuck on her bamboo chair
She tries to make it fair
... Biding her time
Walking on thin line
Mother Nature, Mother's fading!
Mother's hanging on Mother Nature

LOOK AT THE SUN
MIGHT BE A FUN
YOUR PROBLEMS ASIDE
YOU WON'T HAVE TO HIDE!
...YOU SEE THE LIGHT
AND KNOW THAT YOU'RE RIGHT...
WEAR ON YOUR WINGS
TO THE HEART OF THINGS
THEY COME ON SIGHT
YOU WON'T FEAR THE FLIGHT!
...YOU BLIND YOUR EYES
BEFORE YOU GET FRIED...
(SOLO )
REPRISE..
TURN DOWN TO EARTH
TO THE LAND OF YOUR BIRTH
DEAL WITH THE HATE
BUT DON'T LOSE THE FAITH
