There's dancin' behind movie scenes
Behind the movie scenes, sadi rani
She's the one that keeps the dream alive
From the morning, past the evening
To the end of the light

Brimful of Asha on the 45
Well it's a brimful of Asha on the 45
Brimful of Asha on the 45
Well it's a brimful of Asha on the 45

And dancing behind movie scenes
Behind those movie screens, Asha Bhosle
She's the one that keeps the dream alive
From the morning, past the evening
To the end of the light

Brimful of Asha on the 45
Well, it's a brimful of Asha on the 45
Brimful of Asha on the 45
Well, it's a brimful of Asha on the 45

And singing, illuminate the main streets
And the cinema aisles
We don't care about no government warnings
'Bout their promotion of a simple life
And the dams they are building

Brimful of Asha on the 45
Well, it's a brimful of Asha on the 45
Brimful of Asha on the 45
Well, it's a brimful of Asha on the 45

Everybody needs a bosom for a pillow
Everybody needs a bosom
Everybody needs a bosom for a pillow
Everybody needs a bosom
Everybody needs a bosom for a pillow
Everybody needs a bosom
Mine's on the 45

Mohammad Rafi, 45
Lata Mangeshkar, 45
Solid state radio, 45
Ferguson Mono, 45

Jacques Dutronc and the Bolan Boogies
The Heavy Hitters and the chi-chi music
All India Radio, 45, Two in ones, 45
Ovvo Records, 45, Trojan Records, 45

Brimful of Asha on the 45
Well, it's a brimful of Asha on the 45
Brimful of Asha on the 45
Well, it's a brimful of Asha on the 45

Everybody needs a bosom for a pillow
Everybody needs a bosom
Everybody needs a bosom for a pillow
Everybody needs a bosom
Everybody needs a bosom for a pillow
Everybody needs a bosom
Mine's on the 45

Seventy seven thousand piece orchestra set
Everybody needs a bosom for a pillow
Mine's on the RPM

Brimful of Asha on the 45
Well, it's a brimful of Asha on the 45
Brimful of Asha on the 45
Well, it's a brimful of Asha on the 45

Everybody needs a bosom for a pillow
Everybody needs a bosom
Everybody needs a bosom for a pillow
Everybody needs a bosom
Everybody needs a bosom for a pillow
Everybody needs a bosom
Mine's on the 45

Groove Armada style

All right, I'm checkin' all y'all out this evening
An' see you sittin' around
But we ain't gonna have none of that this evening, child
That's right, don't be lookin' at me like that

And my gran' babies?

Mmmhmmhmmhmm
It's a wonderful night
You gotta' take it from me
It's a wonderful night
Come on and break it on down

It's a wonderful night
You gotta' shake it for me
It's a wonderful night
Come on and break it on down

It's a wonderful night
Everybody can see
It's a wonderful night
Come on and break it on down

It's a wonderful night
Go ahead and release
It's a wonderful night
Come on and break it on down

You know the music search engine need a tune-up
Soon as they at the gate they all wanna' hear the corner, uh-huh
Well that was cool but now, but then I heard a rumor uh-huh
Your crew was riding for the white CLIFFS OF DOVER, uh-huh
Well let me tell ya' how we do it in California
We'll HAVE ya' on the run just like a puma
If it don't move us: ain't paid your dues
And it ain't gonna' get a groovers, so we lose ya' to the consumer solution, C'mon!

It's a wonderful night
You gotta' take it from me
It's a wonderful night
Come on and break it on down

It's a wonderful night
You gotta' shake it for me
It's a wonderful night
Come on and break it on down

Girl, I want it -- You got it,
Your body's like a narcotic,
The thought it auto-erotic!
Come on and break it on down
Can I get it on credit?
I guess you're brick house, I'll bet it
Take it as far as you'll let it
Come on and break it on down

That the spot'll get hot,
That it's ready to pop,
Don't even look at the clock,
All of your problems forgot,
And it's time to rock 'till ya' drop,
Feel the force and just flock to the epicenter of the party's bass tremors, C'mon!

It's a wonderful night
You gotta' take it from me
It's a wonderful night
Come on and break it on down

It's a wonderful night
You gotta' shake it for me
It's a wonderful night
Come on and break it on down

We gonna' stimulate your mind
Everybody's high...
Eyes just like a child
Everything feels right
Once you seen the light
You're gonna' move all night
Feel your soul ignite
Everything feels right, right, riiiight!

We live the masterful life, that's mythical
Feel it's cores and it's vibes, atypical
Do what you want, it's all right, this mystical
Time you've got, that's a lot; it is principle
If you stay in this moment, so critical
Let the music change your brain stem's chemicals
Make you feel like your spirit's invincible,
For centrifugal,
Reachin' up to your pinnacle, NOW!

It's a wonderful night
You gotta' take it from me
It's a wonderful night
Come on and break it on down

It's a wonderful night
You gotta' shake it for me
It's a wonderful night
Come on and break it on down

You rock my Colorado
You're out here throwin' bottles
We give a fuck about your status; who you are tomorrow
Whether you're big or borrow or hit the super-lotto
Whether your girl look like a minga or a super-model
Feel the connectedness energy disprojected
The way the whole collected conciousness arises like helium, UP!
Groovin' outta' the question; won't disrespect 'em, but:
Our style's fuckin' pouch like Dave Beckham, C'mon!

It's a wonderful night
You gotta' take it from me
It's a wonderful night
Come on and break it on down

It's a wonderful night
You gotta' shake it for me
It's a wonderful night
Come on and break it on down

The truth, my Madam, is roughin'
Hard as the granite get
Never hesitant upon a mike strike, quit
Like an avalanche, hijack ya' like a Commanche
I'm a man on a mission; rhyme vigilante!
Keep all the jealous and the envious ANTSY!
Love to do the club though with the party people dancin', uh-huh
And set the mood for all the plottin' and romancin', uh-huh
It's a wonderful night... We got the answer, C'MON!

It's a wonderful night
You gotta' take it from me
It's a wonderful night
Come on and break it on down

It's a wonderful night
You gotta' shake it for me
It's a wonderful night
Come on and break it on down

Everybody needs love!

And the sign said long haired,freaky people need not apply (x18)

. . .


They say she had a heart attack
I think the preacher's coming back
And I'm frying 'cos all my love's electrifying

And I'm comfy like a cess-pool
Wanna be with you
And it's my premonition
I better give my heart a listen
And my preacher say

All of your demons will wither away
Ecstacy comes and they cannot stay
You'll understand when you come my way
'Cos all of my demons have withered away

They said he shook himself to death
I wanna dance 'til my last breath
But mister disco only parties hard in Frisco

And I'm comfy like a cess-pool
Wanna be with you
And it's my premonition
I better give my heart a listen
And my preacher say

All of your demons will wither away
Ecstacy comes and they cannot stay
You'll understand when you come my way
'Cos all of my demons have withered away

Anybody lost looking to get found
Know it when they hear the champion sound
Works like a magnet on the people all around
Know it when they hear the champion sound

Anybody loving music up in your town
Know it when they hear the champion sound
Love it when they hear the champion sound
Need it when they hear the champion: "Watch Out!"

We've made tragedy, ripped up sporadically and (4X)

Gimme ride at the party with the bump full of Pearl (3X)

You can't remain hit and we detect your identity

Anybody lost looking to get found
Know it when they hear the champion sound
Works like a magnet on the people all around
Know it when they hear the champion sound

Anybody loving music up in your town
Know it when they hear the champion sound
Love it when they hear the champion sound
Need it when they hear the champion: "Look Out!"

They they they ??? goes around the world and (4X)

And her true women they cried gradually (3X)

Do your soul grow by holding no rock

Anybody lost looking to get found
Know it when they hear the champion sound
Works like a magnet on the people all around
Know it when they hear the champion sound

Anybody loving music up in your town
Know it when they hear the champion sound
Love it when they hear the champion sound
Need it when they hear the champion

Bugger back to collect the due wanted by (2X)

And then whoever try to disrespect a mighty good time
Or a mighty good rhyme with a fight for the mind
Present at time or let me line flex
Listen and rewind it rebel pirates band at highest

Try this skit trampled by the stampeding feet of the fans
in the crowd screaming: "Yo, that's Lateef! MaROON!"
That boy Slim on the tune
Rally round it if you're strong
Throw your arms to the moon, c'mon

Anybody lost looking to get found
Know it when they hear the champion sound
Works like a magnet on the people all around
Know it when they hear the champion sound

Anybody loving music up in your town
Know it when they hear the champion sound
Love it when they hear the champion sound
Need it when they hear the champion: "Watch Out!"

Na, na na, na na na, naaa na na, na na na
Na, na na, na na na, naaa na na, na na na


All you used to do was put me down
But I found a way to pick myself up off the ground
And all you used to do was criticise me
But now I found the good and I emphasise ya see

You would always get so sensitive
And try to turn your transgressions into my guiltiness
But now I'm certain of the way I live
And what I'm responsible for in this twisted game

And it's such a shame
That you try to make pain
Another word for my name
Whether giving or receiving
It's one the same
Just one more link
In your long-ass chain
But it's time to break
This frame and my strengthful will
Time to jump off this negative cycle we've built
Gave my heart
But my self-respection you won't steal
Now it's time to let ya know if you can hear me feel me

Na, na na, na na na, naaa na na, na na na
Na, na na, na na na, naaa na na, na na na

So I asked my momma for her two cents
And then I asked my little sister and I asked my friend
Then I asked my poppa once and I asked him again
Came two little consensus from all them opinions
That life is too short to be unhappy
And since I know what I'm worth there'll be no settling for dirt
Knowing what I deserve is gold
If I want diamonds then I can't settle for coal

Maybe I was just too strong to let go
Maybe I was just too weak to let it show
Maybe I was just too stubborn to say "No"
But whatever the case I can't take it no more

Na, na na, na na na, naaa na na, na na na
Na, na na, na na na, naaa na na, na na na

Na, na na, na na na, naaa na na, na na na
Na, na na, na na na, naaa na na, na na na

Na, na na, na na na, naaa na na, na na na
Na, na na, na na na, naaa na na, na na na

Sometimes I think maybe we'll patch it all up
Like a favourite pair of jeans that you won't give up on
Or maybe one of these arguments will make up
And start again like when we started this up
Back when everything was fresh
And every moment a blessing
I'd laugh at all of your jokes
You'd listen to my suggestions
One mind, one soul,
With common decimation
Now we can't help but fight over the direction
