Boonoonoonoos give me Boonoonoonoos
Boonoonoonoos little bit Boonoonoonoos

Let me tell you of a feeling
That is spreading to the land
It will give you good vibrations
It will help you understand

Boonoonoonoos that's Boonoonoonoos

It will help you love your neighbour
It will turn you to the light
It will make you come out jammin'
From the morning till the night

Boonoonoonoos that's Boonoonoonoos

Boonoonoonoos give me Boonoonoonoos
Boonoonoonoos little bit Boonoonoonoos

Everywhere the sun is shining
There's a sweetness in the air
Can you feel a new day rising
On the people ev'rywhere

Boonoonoonoos that's Boonoonoonoos

We can split a tiny atom
We can walk upon the moon
It's been too long coming on us
Gonna hear about it soon

Boonoonoonoos that's Boonoonoonoos

Boonoonoonoos give me Boonoonoonoos
Boonoonoonoos little bit Boonoonoonoos
Boonoonoonoos give me Boonoonoonoos
Boonoonoonoos little bit Boonoonoonoos

Yippee train to skaville

Ska ska ska jamaica ska
Ska ska ska jamaica ska

Out in skaville there
Is a very big fair
Where the music plays
So come on and share
Boonoonoonoos, that's boonoonoonoos

When it's friday night
And you're feeling alright
And you got your girl
And she's holding you tight
Boonoonoonoos, that's boonoonoonoos

Do you dig that sound
Keep on dancing around
Do the best you can
Get your feet off the ground
Boonoonoonoos, that's boonoonoonoos

Do not try to hide
Come on stay by my side
If you catch the beat
Then you're feeling alright
Boonoonoonoos, that's boonoonoonoos

Boonoonoonoos.....if you feel alright
Boonoonoonoos.....if you dance tonight
Boonoonoonoos.....take a train to skaville fair

Boonoonoonoos.....take your dancing shoes
Boonoonoonoos.....then you cannot lose
Boonoonoonoos.....get a train and do not care

Meet me on the moon very very soon
Meet me on the stars Jupiter and Mars
Fly me to a star
Burning out in space shining on my face

Fly me through the night on your Silver Wings
Over crystal seas Valleys of the Kings
By the lilac shore where the dragon flies
In the diamond skies

Silly Silly Confusion
And tangle of wild illusion
We're living in a wonderworld of fantasy
We spent all our times in sweet living dreams

It's a Silly Silly Confusion
Like a flower of wild profusion
You can do the things in life
You always wanted to
Within your heart you know it always will come through

Take me for a ride in your Dream-Machine
To a time and place where no one has been
Let me look upon worlds I've never seen
In your Dream-Machine

Fly me to a star burning out in space
Let me feel the light shining on my face
Sail on solar winds sail on silver birds
Through the universe

Silly Silly Confusion...
It's a Silly Silly Confusion...

Silly Silly Confusion...
It's a Silly Silly Confusion...

Silly Silly Confusion
Silly Silly Confusion

They rode in the morning
Casablanca to the west
On the Atlas Mountain foothills leading down to Marakesh
For Mohammed and Morocco
We had taken up our guns
For the ashes of our fathers and the children of our sons.
For the ashes of our fathers and the children of our sons.

In the dry winds of summer
They were sharpening the blades.
They were riding to act upon the promise we had made.
With the fist and the dagger
With the rifle and the lance
We will suffer no intrusion from the Infidels of France.
We will suffer no intrusion from the Infidels of France.

Ride, ride, ride, ride to Agadir.
Ride, ride, ride, ride to Agadir.

They could wait no more
In the burning sands on the ride to Agadir.

Ride, ride, ride, ride to Agadir.

Like the dogs of war
For the future of this land on the ride to Agadir.

Ride, ride, ride, ride to Agadir.

Though they were waiting
And they were fifty to our ten
They were easily outnumbered by a smaller force of men.
As the darkness was falling
They were soon to realize
We were going to relieve them of their God-Forsaken lives.
We were going to relieve them of their God-Forsaken lives.

They could wait no more
In the burning sands on the ride to Agadir.

Ride, ride, ride, ride to Agadir.

Like the dogs of war
For the future of this land on the ride to Agadir.

Ride, ride, ride, ride to Agadir.

They rode in the morning
Casablanca to the west
On the Atlas Mountain foothills leading down to Marakesh
For Mohammed and Morocco
We had taken up our guns
For the ashes of our fathers and the children of our sons.
For the ashes of our fathers and the children of our sons.

Jimmy, my heart is full of love, only true love,
and its wisdom and visions are you.
(Baby baby, there's no returning)
Jimmy, there's words unspoken and unbroken,
only you can ensure everlasting.
(Baby baby, my love is you)

Jimmy, I would like to drive your car,
it don't matter how long, how far.
Jimmy, you can have my loving heart and key and all.
Jimmy, I would like to wear your ring,
all your love songs I sure will sing.
Jimmy, you can have my loving heart and key and all.

Jimmy, if you only knew all that I felt for you,
you wouldn't question me with a doubt.

Jimmy, my heart is full of love, only true love,
and its wisdom and visions are you.

Deep and deeper I keep falling, falling in love with you.
Even in times of hard depression, I stay in love with only you.

it don't matter how long, how far.
Jimmy, you can have my loving heart and key and all.
Jimmy, I would like to wear your ring,

African Moon
Roll with the mighty waves
We'll be there soon
Feel the winds as we sail on home to African Moon

African Moon
My heart beats like the drum
Now it is noon
Loved ones we left behind I'll see again
African Moon

African Moon
I will see you once more
Yes again I'll adore the real sound of the drum
Oh yes I'm sailing feel your hot sun
African Moon

African Moon
Looking out to the sea
A reunion there'll be in the evening sun
Oh there's a new life that's awaiting me
African Moon

African Moon
This land is my rightful home
We'll never roam
You'll weep fou your sons no more and daughters
African Moon

Hold up your head
One day you'll be understood
Stand and be proud
Your sorrows are gone for good
Hold up your head
And you'll be satisfied!

I see mushrooms, atomic mushrooms.
I see rockets, missiles in the sky.
Day by day, more and more,
Where will this lead to
and what is this good for?
Poor World, Poor World.

Concrete's rising up,
where yearerday was park
you heard the Robin's Song
Heavy tractor runs
where air was clean and cool
make money, bringing fuel.

Where will this lead to
and what is this good for?
A Poor World, Poor World.

Fishes doomed to die
as people live close by
and oaktree falls with moon
Parking lots will come
with flowerfields were bright
as junkyard covers sight!

Where will this lead to
and what is this good for?
Poor world, is hurting bad,
Poor world, is doomed to die.

We kill the world
kill the world
We surely do
In peace we do!
We kill the world
kill the world
'cause we don't know
what we are doing!

We kill it
One by one
Don't realize!

And nuclear piles stand like monuments
of destruction throughout over the country

Promenades must go
so cars can drive in row
New Fact'ry towers tall
Farmhouse had to fall
No flowers in the air
pollution everywhere.

Where will this lead to
and what is this good for?
A Poor world, Poor World.

Oceans in despair
There's rubbish everywhere
The seaweed chokes in mud
Nature's had her lot
With nuclear waste and rot
And mushrooms bloom as clouds.

Where will this lead to
and what is this good for?
Poor world, is hurting bad,
poor world, is doomed to die.

We kill the world...

Don't kill the world
don't let her down.
Do not destroy basic ground.
Don't kill the world
our means of life.
Lend ear to nature's cry.

Don't kill the world
She's all we have,
And surely is worth to save.
Don't let her die,
fight for her trees,
Pollution robs air to breathe.

Don't kill the world
help her survive
And she'll reward you with life
And don't just talk,
Go on and do the one, who wins is you.

Cherish the world,
A present from God
On behalf of all creatures,
made by the Lord
Care for the earth,
Foundation of life
Slow progress down help her survive

Ship Ahoi Ship Ahoi Ship Ahoi Ship Ahoi
Ship Ahoi Ship Ahoi Ship Ahoi Ship Ahoi
Ship Ahoi Ship Ahoi Ship Ahoi Ship Ahoi

Down the ocean a ship comes sailing through the waves
Filled with hundreds of men they take as slaves
Just long for their true Homeland Africa
And to be saved they want to be free
Men women and babyslaves
Coming to the land of liberty, liberty
Ship Ahoi Ship Ahoi Ship Ahoi Ship Ahoi...

They are tired of waiting for a brand new day
Some of them sing and chant some of them pray
And some men got a little tired too
No one knows if the journey pay

Men women and babyslaves
Coming to the land of liberty, liberty
Ship Ahoi Ship Ahoi Ship Ahoi Ship Ahoi...

In the hills above Freno
By a shiny mountain stream
A young man laid where he fell
In the ruins of his dreams
He looked into the sky
Happy to see that the dawn was slowly breaking
And the women knelt beside him
Consuela Biaz

Consuela Biaz she knelt there and gently
She bathed his wounds
And he kissed her trembling fingers
Consuela Biaz

Consuela Biaz she knelt there and gently
She bathed his wounds
And he kissed her trembling fingers
Consuela Biaz

In the town San Domingo
As we laughed and danced all night
To the thrub of flamingo guitars
Seemed a long long way from tomorrow's fight
He came from over the sea
Full of the passion of when
You were born to be free
From the Valley of Ronda
Consuela Biaz

Consuela Biaz she knelt there and gently
She bathed his wounds
And he kissed her trembling fingers
Consuela Biaz

Consuela Biaz from the Valley of Ronda
To the hills above Freno
Just to die against her shoulder
Consuela Biaz

I'm sorry if I have failed you

Papa said don't go to discos
Mama said don't play with boys
Sister said stop all romancing
Brother said stop all your noise

Breakaway ha, ha breakaway
Breakaway ha, ha breakaway

Papa said ain't working harder
Better stay and work through the night
Come over here and sit in my lap now
You might get a rise if you do what is right

Breakaway ha, ha breakaway
Breakaway ha, ha breakaway

Got to tear off your chains
Pull up your roots
Pack up your money
And put on back your boots and breakaway

Breakaway ha, ha breakaway
Breakaway ha, ha breakaway

Stand up boy, down at the disco
Say I like you, will you dance on with me
Say I love you, you're the girl I've been wanting
Maybe some day you can marry me

Breakaway ha, ha breakaway
Breakaway ha, ha breakaway

Got to tear off your chains...

Sad movies always make me cry
Sad movies always make me cry

He said he had to work, so I went to the show alone.
They turned down the lights and turned the projector on.
And just as the news of the world started to begin,
I saw my darling and my best friend walking in.

Although I was sitting right there they didn'n see me.
And so they both sat right down in the front of me.
And when he kissed her lips then I almost died.
And in the middle of the colour cartoon I started to cry.

Oh Sad movies always make me cry
Sad movies always make me cry
Sad movies always make me cry
Sad movies always make me cry

And so I got on up and slowly I walked on home,
And Mama saw the tears and said "Baby what is wrong".
And so just to keep from telling her a lie,
I just said "Sad movies makes me cry".

Oh Sad movies always make me cry
Sad movies always make me cry
Sad movies always make me cry
Sad movies always make me cry

Whirlwind you must know he can't leave
Ever since he was young he had known what a man should know
With no hatred inside

Whirlwind take the wife and the child
Find the trail that leads south
To the lands they have given you
The new home for your tribe

Brother of Blood
I have heard that the soldiers are two moons away
They come with many guns
And death is waiting for a brave man
such as you

Goodbye my friend you must be on your way
Down through the canyons we wait and we pray
Goodbye my friend you can linger no more
Gun smoke is rising so run to that war
Beyond the hills the far horizon
In the purple evening sky
You'll fild the Valley of Walhalla
There when you die
