2. 1. Locomotive Breath by Jethro Tull
In the shuffling madness of the locomotive breath
Runs the all-time loser headlong to his death.
He feels the piston scraping, steam breaking on his
brow,
Old Charlie stole the handle and the train it won’t stop
going,
No way to slow down.
He sees his children jumping off at the stations one by
one,
His woman and his best friend in bed and having fun,
He’s crawling down the corridor on his hands and
knees,
Old Charlie stole the handle and the train it won’t stop
going,
No way to slow down.
He hears the silence howling - catches angels as they
fall,
And the all-time winner has got him by the balls.
He picks up Gideon’s Bible open at page one,
I thank God He stole the handle and the train it won’t
stop going,
No way to slow down.
3. 2. Where Do The Children Play? by Cat Stevens
Well I think it’s fine, building jumbo planes,
Taking a ride on a cosmic train,
Switch on summer from a slot machine,
You get what you want to if you want, ‘cause you can get anything.
I know we’ve come a long way,
We’re changing day to day,
But tell me, where do the children play?
Well, you roll on roads over fresh green grass,
For your lorry loads pumping petrol gas,
And you make them long, and you make them tough,
But they just go on and on, and it seems you can’t get off.
Oh, I know we’ve come a long way,
We’re changing day to day,
But tell me, where do the children play?
Well you’ve cracked the sky, scrapers fill the air.
Will you keep on building higher
‘Til there’s no more room up there?
Will you make us laugh, will you make us cry?
Will you tell us when to live, will you tell us when to die?
I know we’ve come a long way,
We’re changing day to day,
But tell me, where do the children play?
4. 3. Southern Man by Neil Young
Southern man better keep your head,
Don’t forget what your good book said,
Southern change gonna come at last,
Now your crosses are burning fast.
Southern man.
Lulu Belle, your hair is golden brown.
I’ve seen your black man coming round.
I swear by God I’m gonna cut him down.
I heard screaming and bullwhips cracking,
How long? How long?
Southern man better keep your head,
Don’t forget what your good book said,
Southern change gonna come at last,
Now your crosses are burning fast.
Southern man.
I saw cotton and I saw black,
Tall white mansions and little shacks.
Southern man when will you pay them back?
I heard screaming and bullwhips cracking.
How long? How long?
5. 4. Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade
Your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk-on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We’re just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.
6. 5. Johhny B. Goode by Chuck Berry
Way down in Louisiana close to New Orleans,
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens,
There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood,
Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode
Who never ever learned to read or write so well
But he could play the guitar just like he’s ringing a bell.
Chorus [Go, go,
Go, Johnny, go,go (4 times)
Johny B. Goode]
He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack,
Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track,
The engineers would see him sitting in the shade,
Strumming to the rhythm that the drivers made,
People passing by you know they’d stop and say,
“Oh, my, that little country boy sure can play.”
chorus
His mother told him “Someday you will be a man,
And you will be the leader of a big old band.
People gonna come from miles around
To hear you play your guitar ‘til the sun goes down.
One day maybe your name gonna be in lights
Saying ‘Johnny B. Goode tonight.’ “
chorus
7. 6. Across The Universe by The Beatles,part 1
Words are flying out like
Endless rain into a paper cup,
They slither while they pass
They slip away across the universe.
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy
Are drifting thorough my open mind,
Possessing and caressing me.
Chorus[Jai guru deva om.
Nothing’s gonna change my world,(4 times)}
Images of broken light which
Dance before me like a million eyes
That call me on and on across the universe,
Thoughts meander like a
Restless wind inside a letter box,
They tumble blindly as
They make their way across the universe.
chorus
Sounds of laughter shades of life
Are ringing through my open ears,
Exciting and inviting me.
Limitless undying love which
Shines around me like a million suns,
It calls me on and on across the universe.
chorus
8. 7. Satisfaction by The Rolling Stones
Chorus[I can’t get no satisfaction,
I can’t get no satisfaction,
But I try and I try and I try and I try.
I can’t get no, I can’t get no.}
When I’m drivin’ in my car
And that man comes on the radio
Tellin’ me more and more
About some useless information
Supposed to fire my imagination.
I can’t get no, no, no, no,
Hey, hey, hey, that’s what I say.
chorus
When I’m watchin’ my TV
And that man comes on to tell me
How white my shirts can be,
But he can’t be a man ‘cause he doesn’t smoke
The same cigarettes as me.
9. I can’t get no, no, no, no,
Hey, hey, hey, that’s what I say.
chorus
When I’m ridin’ round the world
And I’m doin’ this and I’m signing that
And I’m tryin’ to make some girl
Who tells me baby, baby, baby,
Come back maybe next week,
‘Cause you see I’m on losing streak.
I can’t get no, no, no, no.
Hey, hey, hey, that’s what I say.
I can’t get no, I can’t get no,
I can’t get no satisfaction,
No satisfaction, no
Satisfaction, no satisfaction.
