Take me home country roads - Olivia Newton John

Almost Heaven, WEST Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, growin' like a breeze
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
All my memories gather 'round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
I hear her voice in the mornin' hour, she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
Drivin' down the road, I get a feelin'
That I should've been home yesterday, yesterday
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
Take me home, (down) country roads
Take me home, (down) country roads

California girls - The Beach Boys

Well, East Coast girls are hip
I really dig those styles they wear
And the Southern girls, with the way they talk
They knock me out when I'm down there
The Mid WEST farmers' daughters
Really make you feel all right
And the Northern girls, with the way they kiss
They keep their boyfriends warm at night
I wish they all could be California
I wish they all could be California
I wish they all could be California girls
The West Coast has the sunshine
And the girls all get so tanned
I dig a French bikini on Hawaiian Island dolls
By a palm tree in the sand (ooh)
I've been all around this great big world
And I've seen all kind of girls
Yeah, but I couldn't wait to get back in the states
Back to the cutest girls in the world
I wish they all could be California
I wish they all could be California
I wish they all could be California girls
I wish they all could be California (girls, girls, girls, yeah, I dig the)
I wish they all could be California (girls, girls, girls, yeah, I dig the)

“Call of the West” - Wall of Voodoo

He got the high sign so he jumped the bus
On the roads and why not through
The hot Mojave and the Jericho
He start his whole life anew
And what he'd left behind he hadn't valued
Half as much as some things he never knew

Right around sundown
He got dropped off on a street in town
Where a grey old man looked him up and down and said
"Son, this ain't no western movie matinee
You're a long way off from yippie yi yay

'Cause I can tell at a glance you're not from around these parts
Got a green look about you and that's a gringo for starts
Sometimes the only thing a western savage understands
Are whisky and rifles, and an unarmed man like you
You gotta keep on the move
Don't let that fancy paint job fool you"

Then an old-timer pulled him close and said
"You've come a long way, I know
You got a longer drive ahead
Through the bones of the buffalo
Through the claims of the western dead

And just like the spokes of a wheel
You'll spin 'round with the rest
You'll hear the drums and the brush of steel
You'll hear the call of the west, call of the west
You'll hear the call of the west, call of the west"

Harshly awakened by the sound of six rounds of light caliber rifle fore
Followed minutes later by the booming of nine rounds from a heavier rifle
But you can't close off the wilderness
Heard the snick of a rifle bolt, found himself peering down the muzzle of a weapon
Held by a drunken liquor store owner

"There's a conflict," he said
"There's a conflict between land and people
The people have to go, they've come all the way out here
To make mining claims, to do automobile body work
To gamble, to take pictures, to not have to do laundry, to own a minibike
To have their own CD radios and air conditioning
And good plumbing for sure

To sell time, life books and to work in a deli
To have some chili every morning
Maybe, maybe to own their own gas stations again
To take drugs and have some crazy sex
But above all, above all, to have a fair shake
To get a piece of the rock and a slice of the pie
And to spit out the window in your car
Not have the wind blow mess with your face"

Down from the high timberline to the desert's drive
Who'll risk dangling on some hangman's tree
To stake their claims on these prairie plains
While they say this lunch is not had for free?
Just like the spokes of a wheel
Who'll spin 'round with the rest?
They'll hear the drums and the brush of steel
And I'll hear the call of the west, call of the west

Yippie-yi-yo, yippie-yi-yo, yi-yay, yippie-yi-yo
I'll hear the call of the west, call of the west
Yippie-yi-yo, yippie-yi-yo, yi-yay, yippie-yi-yo
I'll hear the call of the west, call of the west

Yippie-yi-yo, yippie-yi-yo, yi-yay, yippie-yi-yo
I'll hear the call of the west, call of the west
Yippie-yi-yo, yippie-yi-yo, yi-yay, yippie-yi-yo
I'll hear the call of the west, call of the west
Yippie-yi-yo, yippie-yi-yo, yi-yay, yippie-yi-yo

I used to be somebody (yippie-yi-yo, yippie-yi-yo, yi-yay, yippie-yi-yo)
I used to be somebody, you hear me?
Do you hear me? (Yippie-yi-yo, yippie-yi-yo, yi-yay, yippie-yi-yo)
I've been there, I used to be somebody, goddamn you
I've been there before, don't walk away (yippie-yi-yo, yippie-yi-yo, yi-yay, yippie-yi-yo)
(Yippie-yi-yo, yippie-yi-yo, yi-yay, yippie-yi-yo)
(Yippie-yi-yo, yippie-yi-yo, yi-yay, yippie-yi-yo)

Let England Shake - P J HARVEY

only registered users can see external links

The West's asleep. Let England shake,
weighted down with silent dead.
I fear our blood won't rise again.

England's dancing days are done.
Another day, Bobby, for you to come home
& tell me indifference won.

Smile, smile Bobby, with your lovely mouth.
Pack up your troubles, let's head out
to the fountain of death
& splash about, swim back and forth
& laugh out loud,

until the day is ending,
& the birds are silent in the branches,
& the insects are courting in the bushes,
& by the shores of lovely lakes
heavy stones are falling.

The End ~ The Doors

This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end
Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I'll never look into your eyes again
Can you picture what will be?
So limitless and free
Desperately in need
Of some stranger's hand
In a desperate land
Lost in a Roman wilderness of pain
And all the children are insane
All the children are insane
Waiting for the summer rain, yeah
There's danger on the edge of town
Ride the King's Highway, baby
Weird scenes inside the gold mine
Ride the highway WEST, baby
Ride the snake, ride the snake
To the lake, the ancient lake, baby
The snake, he's long, seven miles
Ride the snake
He's old and his skin is cold
The WEST is the best
The WEST is the best
Get here and we'll do the rest
The blue bus is calling us
The blue bus is calling us
Driver, where you taking us?
The killer awoke before dawn
He put his boots on
He took a face from the ancient gallery
And he walked on down the hall
He went into the room where his sister lived, and then he
Paid a visit to his brother, and then he
He walked on down the hall, and
And he came to a door
And he looked inside
"Father?"
"Yes, son?"
"I want to kill you"
"Mother, I want to..."
Come on baby, take a chance with us
Come on baby, take a chance with us
Come on baby, take a chance with us
And meet me at the back of the blue bus
Doin' a blue rug, on a blue bus, doin' a
Come on, yeah
Fuck, fuck-ah, yeah
Fuck, fuck
Fuck, fuck
Fuck, fuck, fuck yeah
Come on, baby, come on
Fuck me, baby, fuck yeah
Whoa
Fuck, fuck, fuck, yeah
Fuck, yeah, come on, baby
Fuck me, baby, fuck, fuck
Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah
Fuck yeah, do it, yeah
Come on!
Huh, huh, huh, huh, yeah
Alright
Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill
This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end
It hurts to set you free
But you'll never follow me
The end of laughter and soft lies
The end of nights we tried to die
This is the end

Ditto for yesterday

Everybody’s talking’ - The Beautiful South

Everybody's talking at me
I don't hear a word they're saying
Only the echoes of my mind

People stopping, staring
I can't see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes

I'm going where the sun keeps shining
Through the pouring rain
Going where the weather suits my clothes

Banking off of the north EAST winds
Sailing on a summer breeze
And skipping over the ocean like a stone

Wah, wah wah-wah wah
Wah-wah wah-wah, wah wah-wah
Wahhh

I'm going where the sun keeps shining
Through the pouring rain
Going where the weather suits my clothes

Banking off of the northeast winds
Sailing on a summer breeze
And skipping over the ocean like a stone

Everybody's talking at me
Can't hear a word they're saying
Only the echoes of my mind

I won't let you leave my love behind
No, I won't let you leave
Wah, wah
I won't let you leave my love behind

Go east young man - Elvis

I'm gonna go where the desert sun is
Go where I know the fun is
Go where the harem girls dance
Go where there's love and romance

Out on the burning sands, in some caravan
I'll find adventure, while I can
To say the least, go on, go EAST young man

Go east young man, go east young man
You'll feel like a sheik, so rich and grand
With dancing girls at your command
Go eat and drink and feast, go east young man

I'm gonna go where the night's enchanted
Go where those dreams are granted
When paradise starts calling, into some tent I'm crawling

I hear those desert drums, and when nighttime comes
Then I'll make love the way I planned
To say the least, go on, go east young man

Go east young man, go east young man
You'll feel like a sheik, so rich and grand
With dancing girls at your command
Go eat and drink and feast, go east young man

Go eat and drink and feast, go east young man

Darlin' darlin' darlin'
I can't wait to see you
Your picture ain't enough
I can't wait to touch you in the flesh
Darlin' darlin' darlin'
I can't wait to hear you
Remembering your love
Is nothing without you in the flesh

Went walking one day on the lower EAST side
Met you with a girlfriend, you were so divine
She said, "Hands off this one sweetie, this boy is mine."
I couldn't resist you, I'm not deaf, dumb, and blind

Darlin' darlin' darlin'
Now you're out of town
Those girls that you run with
They bring my head down
Ooh Darlin' darlin'
Watch out if I see you
'Cause if you say hello
It'll mean you want to see me in the flesh

Ooh warm and soft, in the flesh
Ooh close and hot, in the flesh
Ooh

Sometimes you're better off dead
There's a gun in your hand it's pointing at your head
You think you're mad, too unstable
Kicking in chairs and knocking down tables
In a restaurant in a West End town
Call the police, there's a mad man around
Running down underground
To a dive bar in a West End town
In a West End town, a dead end world
The EAST End boys and West End girls
In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
West End girls
Too many shadows, whispering voices
Faces on posters, too many choices
If, when, why, what? How much have you got?
Have you got it, do you get it
If so, how often?
Which do you choose
A hard or soft option?
(How much do you need?)
In a West End town, a dead end world

“China Grove” - The Doobie Brothers

When the sun comes up on a sleepy little town
Down around San Antone
And the folks are risin' for another day
'Round about their homes

The people of the town are strange
And they're proud of where they came
Well, you talkin' 'bout the China Grove (talkin' 'bout the China Grove)
Whoa, oh (whoa, oh), China Grove

Well, the preacher and the teacher
Lord, they're a caution
They are the talk of the town
When the gossip gets to flyin' and they ain't lyin'
When the sun goes fallin' down

They say that the father's insane
And dear Mrs. Perkin's a game
Well, talkin' 'bout the China Grove (talkin' 'bout the China Grove)
Whoa, oh (whoa, oh), China Grove

But every day there's a new thing comin'
The ways of an oriental view
The sheriff and his buddies with their samurai swords
You can even hear the music at night

And though it's a part of the Lone Star State
People don't seem to care
They just keep on lookin' to the east

Talkin' 'bout the China Grove (talkin' 'bout the China Grove)
Whoa, oh (whoa, oh), China Grove

STARS
West Is The Way

Windy trail on a mountain morning
Dusty shoes greet the day
Country boy leavin the place he was born in
To find a better way
A man looks out and sees the city
That he once called his own home
Got to go and find a place where he can be alone
(Chorus)
West is the way
North is the thunder
East is what we're runnin from
South is the sea where we'd go under
West is the one
A burnt-out farm, a worthless claim
A wagon moves away
Joins a train down on the plain
Ramblin though the day
They don't stop for no one
Cause all they had is gone
A long and never ending dream
Keeps them goin on
They don't stop for no one
Cause all they had is gone
A long and never ending dream
Keeps them goin on
Chorus
Look out where the sun is setting
Where hills roll like the sea
People after new beginnings
Searchin patiently
Look out where the sun is setting
Where hills roll like the sea
People after new beginnings
Searchin patiently

Dreams of the everyday housewife - Glen Campbell


only registered users can see external links


She looks in the mirror and stares at the wrinkles
That weren't there yesterday
And thinks of the young man that she almost married
What would he think if he saw her this way?
She picks up her apron in little girl-fashion
As something comes into her mind
Slowly starts dancing remembering her girlhood
And all of the boys she had waiting in line
Oh, such are the dreams of the EVERYDAY housewife
You see everywhere any time of the day
An everyday housewife who gave up the good life for me
The photograph album she takes from the closet
And slowly turns the page
And carefully picks up the crumbling flower
The first one he gave her now withered with age
She closes her eyes and
Touches the house dress that suddenly disappears
And just for the moment she's wearing the gown
That broke all their minds back so many years
Oh, such are the dreams of the everyday housewife
You see everywhere any time of the day
An everyday housewife who gave up the good life for me
Oh, such are the dreams of the everyday housewife
You see everywhere any time of the day
An everyday housewife who gave up the good life for me
Oh, such are the dreams of the everyday housewife
You see everywhere any time of the day

And the door was open and the wind appeared
The candles blew and then disappeared
The curtains flew and then he appeared
Come on, baby
(And she had no fear) And she ran to him
(Then they started to fly) They looked backward and said goodbye
(She had become like they are) She had taken his hand
(She had become like they are) Come on, baby

Everyday
Buddy Holly
Everyday, it's a-gettin' closer
Goin' faster than a roller coaster
Love like yours will surely come my way
(A-hey, a-hey, hey)

Everyday, it's a-gettin' faster
Everyone said, "Go ahead and ask her"
Love like yours will surely come my way
(A-hey, a-hey, hey)

Everyday seems a little longer
Every way, love's a little stronger
Come what may, do you ever long for
True love from me?

Everyday, it's a-gettin' closer
Goin' faster than a roller coaster
Love like yours will surely come my way
(A-hey, a-hey, hey)

Everyday seems a little longer
Every way, love's a little stronger
Come what may, do you ever long for
True love from me?

Everyday, it's a-gettin' closer
Goin' faster than a roller coaster
Love like yours will surely come my way

Love like yours will surely come my way

“Bad Company” - Bad Company

Company, always on the run
Destiny, is the rising sun
I was born, 6-gun in my hand
Behind the gun, I'll make my final stand
That's why they call me

Bad company
I won't deny
Bad company
'Til the day I die
'Til the day I die

Rebel souls, deserters we are called
Chose a gun and threw away the sword
Now these towns, they all know our name
6-gun sound is our claim to fame
I can hear them say

Bad company
I can't deny
Bad company
'Til the day I die
Oh, yeah

Bad company
I can't deny
Bad company
'Til the day I die

What I say now
It's bad company, oh yeah, yeah

Don’t Stand So Close To Me - The Police

Young teacher, the subject of schoolgirl fantasy
She wants him so badly, knows what she wants to be
Inside her there's longing, this girl's an open page
Bookmarking, she's so close now
This girl is half his age

Don't STAND, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me

Her friends are so jealous
You know how bad girls get
Sometimes it's not so easy to be the teacher's pet
Temptation, frustration so bad it makes him cry
Wet bus stop, she's waiting his car is warm and dry

Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me

Loose talk in the classroom to hurt they try and try
Strong words in the staffroom the accusations fly
It's no use, he sees her he starts to shake and cough
Just like the old man in that book by Nabokov

Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh

(Please don't stand so close to me)
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
(Please don't stand so close to me)
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me

(Please don't stand so close to me)
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
(Please don't stand so close to me)
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me

(Please don't stand so close to me)
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
(Please don't stand so close to me)

I'll see who's around

One way or another I'm gonna find ya
I'm gonna getcha getcha getcha getcha
One way or another I'm gonna win ya
I'll getcha, I'll getcha
One way or another I'm gonna see ya
I'm gonna meetcha meetcha meetcha meetcha
One day, maybe next week
I'm gonna meetcha, I'll meetcha

And if the lights are all out
I'll follow your bus downtown
See who's hanging out

One way or another I'm gonna lose ya
I'm gonna give you the slip, a slip of the hip or another
I'm gonna lose ya, I'm gonna trick ya, I'll trick ya
One way or another I'm gonna lose ya
I'm gonna trick ya trick ya trick ya trick ya
One way or another I'm gonna lose ya
I'm gonna give you the slip

I'll walk down the mall
STAND over by the wall
Where I can see it all
Find out who ya call
Lead you to the supermarket checkout
Some specials and rat food, get lost in the crowd

One way or another I'm gonna getcha, I'll getcha, I'll getcha getcha getcha getcha
(Where I can see it all, find out who ya call)

Well, I won't back down
No, I won't back down
You could STAND me up at the gates of Hell
But I won't back down
No, I'll STAND my ground
Won't be turned around
And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down
Gonna STAND my ground
And I won't back down
hey, baby
There ain't no easy way out (I won't back down)
Hey, I will STAND my ground
And I won't back down
Well, I know what's right
I got just one life
In a world that keeps on pushin' me around
But I'll STAND my ground
And I won't back down
(I won't back hey, baby
There ain't no easy way out (I won't back down)
Hey I will STAND my ground (I won't back down)
And I won't back down
(I won't back hey, baby
There ain't no easy way out (I won't back down)
Hey, I won't back down
hey, baby
There ain't no easy way out (I won't back down)
Hey, I will STAND my ground (I won't back down)
And I won't back down (I won't back down)
No, I won't back down

How Can A Poor Man Stand Such Times And Live?
Ry Cooder
Well, the doctor comes around with his face all bright
And he says, "In a little while you'll be alright"
All he gives is a humbug pill
Dose of dope and a great big bill
Tell me, how can a poor man stand such times and live?

Well, there once was a time when everything was cheap
But now prices nearly put a man to sleep
When we get our grocery bill
We just feel like making our will
Tell me, how can a poor man stand such times and live?

Prohibition's good if it's conducted right
There's no sense in shooting a man 'til he shows flight
Officers kill without a cause
Then they complain about the funny laws
Tell me, how can a poor man stand such times and live?

Same Old Lang Syne - Dan Fogelberg

only registered users can see external links

Met my old lover in the grocery store
The snow was falling Christmas Eve
I stole behind her in the frozen foods
And I touched her on the sleeve
She didn't recognize the face at first
But then her eyes flew open wide
She went to hug me, and she spilled her purse
And we laughed until we cried
We took her groceries to the checkout STAND
The food was totaled up and bagged
We stood there lost in our embarrassment
As the conversation dragged
Went to have ourselves a drink or two
But couldn't find an open bar
We bought a six-pack at the liquor store
And we drank it in her car
We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to now
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness
But neither one knew how
She said she'd married her an architect
Who kept her warm and safe and dry
She would've liked to say she loved the man
But she didn't like to lie
I said the years had been a friend to her
And that her eyes were still as blue
But in those eyes, I wasn't sure if I
Saw doubt or gratitude
She said she saw me in the record stores
And that I must be doing well
I said, "The audience was heavenly
But the traveling was hell"
We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to now
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness
But neither one knew how
We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to time
Reliving in our eloquence
Another auld lang syne
The beer was empty, and our tongues were tired
And running out of things to say
She gave a kiss to me as I got out
And I watched her drive away
Just for a moment, I was back at school
And felt that old familiar pain
And as I turned to make my way back home
The snow turned into rain

Make Me Smile - Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel

only registered users can see external links

… You've done it all, you've broken every code
And pulled the rebel to the floor
You spoilt the game, no matter what you say
For only metal, what a bore.
… Blue eyes, blue eyes, how come you tell so many lies?
… Come up and see me, make me SMILE
Or do what you want, runnin' wild.
… There's nothing left, all gone and run away
Maybe you'll tarry for a while
It's just a test, a game for us to play
Win or lose, it's hard to smile.
… Resist, resist, it's from yourself you have to hide.
… Oh, come up and see me, make me smile
Oh, or do what you want, runnin' wild.
… There ain't no more, you've taken everything
From my belief in Mother Earth
Can you ignore my faith in everything?
'Cause I know what faith is and what it's worth.
… Away, away, and don't say maybe you'll try.
… Oh, come up and see me to makin' me smile
Or do what you want just runnin' wild.

Lyin' Eyes ~ Eagles

only registered users can see external links

City girls just seem to find out early
How to open doors with just a SMILE
A rich old man, and she won't have to worry
She'll dress up all in lace, go in style
Late at night, a big old house gets lonely
I guess every form of refuge has its price
And it breaks her heart to think her love is only
Given to a man with hands as cold as ice
So she tells him she must go out for the evening
To comfort an old friend who's feelin' down
But he knows where she's goin' as she's leavin'
She is headed for the cheatin' side of town
You can't hide your lyin' eyes
And your SMILE is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes
On the other side of town, a boy is waiting
With fiery eyes and dreams no one could steal
She drives on through the night, anticipating
'Cause he makes her feel the way she used to feel
She rushes to his arms, they fall together
She whispers, "It's only for a while"
She swears that soon she'll be comin' back forever
She goes away and leaves him with a SMILE
You can't hide your lyin' eyes
And your SMILE is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes
She gets up and pours herself a strong one
And stares out at the stars up in the sky
Another night, it's gonna be a long one
She draws the shade and hangs her head to cry
She wonders how it ever got this crazy
She thinks about a boy she knew in school
Did she get tired, or did she just get lazy?
She's so far gone, she feels just like a fool
My, oh my, you sure know how to arrange things
You set it up so well, so carefully
Ain't it funny how your new life didn't change things?
You're still the same old girl you used to be
You can't hide your lyin' eyes
And your SMILE is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes
There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes
Honey, you can't hide your lyin' eyes

Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play
Dear Prudence, greet the brand new day
The sun is up, the sky is blue
It's beautiful and so are you
Dear Prudence won't you come out and play

Dear Prudence open up your eyes
Dear Prudence see the sunny skies
The wind is low the birds will sing
That you are part of everything
Dear Prudence won't you open up your eyes?

Look around round
Look around round round
Look around

Dear Prudence let me see you smile
Dear Prudence like a little child
The clouds will be a daisy chain
So let me see you smile again
Dear Prudence won't you let me see you SMILE?

October Grey
The Screaming Jets
It's been awhile
And I still remember
The smile you kept for me
Lately I have missed you
And It hits me in the mornin' when I'm cold

I have nothing to say ...

But I can't change a thing
No, I can't change a thing

And if I knew
What I know
And If I said what I meant
When all the big dog's
Get to grow their own
Everybody gotta call some place home

I have nothing to say ...
Memories in October Grey

I can't change a thing
I can't change a thing
I can't change anything
I can't change a thing

Whoa, wrapped in October Grey

Now I have learnt
Not to trust
I have to watch everything I feel
You'll never know
And I'll never let you see
What I've done, what's become of me

I have no words to say
Memories, memories of mother's day

I can't change a thing
I can't change a thing
I just can't change anything
I can't change a thing

“Christmas Time is Here” - Vince Guaraldi Trio

Christmas time is here
Happiness and cheer
Fun for all that children call
Their favorite time of the year

Snowflakes in the air
Carols everywhere
Olden times and ancient rhymes
Of love and dreams to share

Sleigh bells in the air
Beauty everywhere
Yuletide by the fireside
And joyful memories there

Christmas time is here
We'll be drawing near
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year...

Do They Know It’s Christmas? - Band Aid

It's CHRISTMAS time
There's no need to be afraid
At Christmas time
We let in light and we banish shade
And in our world of plenty
We can spread a smile of joy
Throw your arms around the world
At Christmas time
But say a prayer
Pray for the other ones
At Christmas time, it's hard
But when you're having fun
There's a world outside your window
And it's a world of dreaded fear
Where the only water flowing
Is the bitter sting of tears
And the Christmas bells that ring there
Are the clanging chimes of doom
Well, tonight, thank God it's them
Instead of you, na, na, yeah
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time and
Feed the world
Do they know it's Christmas time at all?
And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas now
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life
Where nothing ever grows, no rain or river flow
Do they know it's Christmas time at all?
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time and
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again
Here's to you
Raise your glass for everyone
Here's to them underneath that burning sun
Do they know it's Christmas time at all?
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time and
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time and
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time and
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time and
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time and
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time and
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time and
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time and
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time and
