LYRICS
Why?
Did I drop the bomb on Nagasaki
Hugh?
Did ya drop the bomb Hiroshima

Here’s dropping a bomb upon you:

Chorus
Matters what you do
Matters what you don’t
If it impacts me
It will impact you
Don’t say you can’t
When you mean won’t

Did we clone a drone
To assassinate what we hate
Do we drop bombs forgetting
The little children at the wedding

LYRICS
A blow to the skin
Nerves wearing thin

A blow to the ribs
Cut to ribbons
Dread the shred
The pain of lame

When I can feel the heal
I’ll believe in the real deal

A bend will strain
Causing you pain
Aware to beware
While you remain

Coversong originally made famous by Steve Miller

I told you ’bout living in the U.S. of A.
Don’t you know that I’m a gangster of love
Let me tell you people that I found a new way
And I’m tired of all this talk about love
And the same old story with a new set of words
About the good and the bad and the poor
And the times keep on changin’
So I’m keepin’ on top
Of every fat cat who walks through my door

I’m a space cowboy
Bet you weren’t ready for that
I’m a space cowboy
I’m sure you know where it’s at
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I was born on this rock
And I’ve been travelin’ through space
Since the moment I first realized
What all you fast talkin’ cats would do if you could
You know, I’m ready for the final surprise
There ain’t no way around it
Ain’t nothing to say
That’s gonna satisfy my soul deep inside
All the prayers and surveyors
Keep the whole place uptight
While it keeps on gettin’ darker outside

I’m a space cowboy
Bet you weren’t ready for that
I’m a space cowboy
I’m sure you know where it’s at
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I see the show downs, slow downs, lost and found, turn arounds
The boys in the military shirts
I keep my eyes on the prize, on the long fallen skies
And I don’t let my friends get hurt
All you back room schemers, small trip dreamers
Better find something new to say
Cause you’re the same old story
It’s the same old crime
And you got some heavy dues to pay

I’m a space cowboy
Bet you weren’t ready for that
I’m a space cowboy
I’m sure you know where it’s at
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

LYRICS
A fat what?
Fatwa says I can’t go as far as mars?
Martian crusaders
Or spiritual raiders
Brains soak in formaldehyde jars
No way to hide Jekyll and Hyde scars

Give me some space
From crazies in the human race
Can’t keep pace with the times
Their reasons have no rhymes
Just human rights crimes

There’s a problem over there
Can you hear it going down
The sound of fear
You don’t wanna hear
Fills their air
In town

Can you see it going down
A sight so ugly
You don’t wanna see
Fills their air

There’s a problem over there
Can you smell it going down
A scent so foul
It’ll make ya growl
Fills their air
In town

LYRICS
Run, rabbit, run
The fox does trot
Man on horse, man on foot
The chain undone

The animals dance
Bunny Hug
Foxtrot
Animal romance
Cut the rug
Make it hot
Animals dance

ABOUT THIS SONG

The foxtrot is a smooth, progressive dance characterized by long, continuous flowing movements across the dance floor. It is danced to big band (usually vocal) music. The dance is similar in its look to a waltz, although the rhythm is in a 4/4 time signature instead of 3/4. Developed in the 1910s, the foxtrot reached its height of popularity in the 1930s, and remains practiced today.

The Castles introduced what they then called the “Bunny Hug” in a magazine article. Shortly after, they went abroad and, in mid-ocean, sent a wireless to the magazine to change the name of the dance from “Bunny Hug” to the “Foxtrot.”[

LYRICS
Say, let’s Merengue all day!
Hold me
In a closed position
Squeeze me
With affection
Merengue all day!

All day and all night
Your dance is never trite
All day and all night
Your dance… out of sight…
Dynamite
Alright
All right
Hold me tight!

ABOUT THIS SONG

Merengue (/məˈrɛŋɡeɪ/) is a style of Dominican music and dance. Partners hold each other in a closed position. The leader holds the follower’s waist with the leader’s right hand, while holding the follower’s right hand with the leader’s left hand at the follower’s eye level. The first person to dance the Merengue was a 10 year old girl named Lismary Calderon. Partners bend their knees slightly left and right, thus making the hips move left and right. The hips of the leader and follower move in the same direction throughout the song. Partners may walk sideways or circle each other, in small steps. They can switch to an open position and do separate turns without letting go each other’s hands or releasing one hand. During these turns they may twist and tie their handhold into intricate pretzels. Other choreographies are possible. — Wikipedia

Cumbia hear, my Lord!

Someone’s dancing, my Lord
Cumbia hear
Someone’s jigging
Someone’s jamming
In the name of love
No push. No shove.
Just jamming
In the name of love
Butterfly kiss
Kid’s glove
Just jamming
In the name of love
When necessary
Sting like a bee
Floating, floating, floating like a butterfly

ABOUT THIS SONG

Cumbia is a music genre popular throughout Latin America. The Cumbia originated in Colombia’s Caribbean coastal region and Panama, from the musical and cultural fusion of Native Colombians and Panamanians, slaves brought from Africa, and the Spanish during colonial times in the old country of Pocabuy, which is located in Colombia’s Momposina Depression and in the northeast of Panama, in the ancient palenques of the Congo nation. — Wikipedia

On your drums you bleed
If at first you don’t succeed
Guitar strings make fingers bleed

Begin to try again
If you’re lucky

Wash away the fears

If at first you don’t succeed
All your wants you still need
If at first you don’t succeed
Just repeat human’s creed
