2. Dancer
I'm
not invited to the party
Been sitting here all night
I'm all along here at the party
I don't feel all right
Ain't got no black coat, ain't got no tie
I gotta shape it up now
C'mon baby, you gotta know why
Dancer, dancer
I can't live with it I'm gonna die without it
Dancer, dancer
Ain't no doubt about it
Dancer, dancer
Why don't you kick off your dancing shoes and come ride with me
You're the life and soul of the funk-tion
It took me all night to get a hold of the right introduction
Blew me out of sight
I taste your lipstick, I look in your eyes
You feel fantastic, my body cries
Dancer,

3. Back Chat
Back
chat, back chat
You burn all my energy
Back chat, back chat
Criticizing all you see
Back chat, back chat
Analyzing what I say
Back chat, back chat
And you always get your way
Oh yeah see what you've done to me
Back chat, back chat
You're driving me insane
It's a battle to the end, knock you down you come again
Talk back, talk back you've got me on the rack
Twisting every word I say
Wind me up and get your way
Fat chance I have of making a romance
If I'm ever going to win
I'll have to get the last word in
Take it from there
Twisting every word I say
Wind me up and let me play
Back chat, back chat
You burn all my energy
Back chat, back chat
Criticizing all you see
Back chat, back chat
Analyzing what I say
Back chat, back chat
And you always get your way
Wake
up, stand up, and drag yourself on out
Get down, get ready, scream and shout
Back off, be cool
And learn to change your ways
Cause you're talking in your sleep and you're walking in a daze
Don't push your luck, I'm ready to attack
Cause when I'm trying to talk to you all you do is just talk back
You stand so tall, you don't frighten me at all
Don't talk back
Don't talk back
Don't talk back
Just leave me alone
Back chat, back chat
You burn all my energy
Back chat, back chat
Criticizing all you see
Back chat, back chat
Analyzing what I say
Back chat, back chat
And you always get your way
Yes you do, yes you do
Back chat, back chat...

5. Action This Day
Action
This street honey is a mean street
Living in this street honey needs a mean streak
We've got criminals living in this street
But there's a heartbeat pulse that keeps on pumping
Like a jukebox playing the same dead record
Or a radio in the corner keeps blaring
I gotta feeling, this world is using me
This town honey is a dead town
Living in this town honey is a let down
Coming to this town honey is a showdown
But there's a heartbeat pulse that keeps on pumping
Some sunshine ray through a crack in the shutter
Or a sight of light at the end of a tunnel
Still there's a feeling, this world is using me
Action
this day
Action this night
We've got to learn to love to live
You can't say it ain't right
Action this day, action this night
You've got the power
You've got the power
You've got the power to love and to live
You can't say it ain't right
Your
mind honey is a bleak place
Living in your mind's living in a blank space
Your mind is coming from a rat race
But there's a heartbeat pulse that keeps on pumping
Like a jukebox playing the same dead record
Or a radio in the corner keeps on blaring
I gotta feeling that just won't quit, this world is using me
Action
this day
Action this night
We've got to learn to love to live
You can't say it ain't right
Action this day, action this night
You've got the power
You've got the power
You've got the power to love and to live
You can't say it ain't right
Action
Action this day...
6. Put Out The Fire
They
called him a hero
In the land of the free
But he wouldn't shake my hand boy
He disappointed me
So I got my handgun and I blew him away
That critter was a bad guy
I had to make him pay
You might fear for my reason
I don't care what they say
Look out baby it's the season
For the mad masquerade
Put out the fire
Put out the fire
Put out the fire
You need a bullet like a hole in the head
Put out the fire
Put out the fire
Put out the fire
Don't believe what your granddaddy said
She was my lover
It was a shame that she died
But the constitutions right on my side
Cause I caught my lover in my neighbors bed
I got retribution, filled 'em all full of lead
I've been told it's the fashion
To let me on the streets again
It's nothing but a crime of passion
And I'm not to blame
Put out the fire
Put out the fire
Put out the fire
You need a weapon like a hole in the head
Put out the fire
Put out the fire
Put out the fire
And let your sons and your daughters
Sleep sound in their beds
You know a gun never killed nobody
You can ask anyone
People get shot by people, people with guns
Put out the fire
Put out the fire
You need a gun like a hole in the head
Put out the fire
Put out the fire
Put out the fire
Just tell me that old fashioned gun law, is dead
Take aim and fire
Shoot...
7. Life Is Real (Song For Lennon)
Guilt
stains on my pillow
Blood on my terraces
Torsos in my closet
Shadows from my past life is real
Life is real, life is real, so real
Sleeping is my leisure
Waking up in a minefield
Dream is just a pleasure dome
Love is a roulette wheel - life is real
Life is real, life is real, oh yeah
Success is my breathing space
I brought it on myself
I will price it, I will cash it
I can take it or leave it
Loneliness is my hiding place
Breastfeeding myself
What more can I say
I have swallowed the bitter pill
I can taste it, I can taste it
Life is real
Life is real
Life is real
Music will be my mistress
Loving like a whore
Lennon is a genius
Living in every pore
Life is real
Life is real
Life is real
So real
Life is cruel
Life is a bitch
Life is real - so real
Life is real
Life is real
Life is real
8. Calling All Girls
Calling
all boys, calling all girls
Calling all people on streets, around the world
Take this message, a message for you
This message is old yeah, this message is true
This message is...
Love Take a message of love, far and near
Take a message of love, for all to hear

Some sleepless nights in wait for you
Some foreign presence you feel, comes creeping through
Some stream of hope, the whole world through
Spread like some silent disease, you'll get yours too
This message is..
Love
Take a message of love, far and near
Take a message of love, for all to hear
For all to hear
Love
Take a message of love, far and near
Take a message of love, for all to hear
For all to hear
Calling

9. Las Palabras De Amor (The Words Of Love)
Don't
touch me now, don't hold me now
Don't break the spell darling, now you are near
Look in my eyes and speak to me
The special promises I want to hear
Las palabras de amor
Let me hear the words of love
Despacito mi amor
Love me slow and gently
One foolish world, so many souls
Senselessly hurled through the never ending cold
And all for fear, and all for greed
Speak any tongue but for God's sake we need
Las palabras de amor
Let me hear the words of love
Despacito mi amor
Let me know, this night and evermore
This room is bare, this night is cold
We're far apart and I'm growing old
But while we live, we'll meet again
So then my love we may whisper once more
It's you I adore
Las palabras de amor
Let me hear the words of love
Despacito mi amor
Touch me now
Las palabras de amor
Let us share the words of love
For evermore, for evermore
10. Cool Cat
You're
taking all the sunshine away
Making out like you're the mainline - I knew that
Cause you're a cool cat
Tapping on the toe with a new hat
Just cruising - driving along like the swing king
Feeling the beat of my heart
Feeling the beat of my heart
You're a cool cat
Coming on strong with all the chit-chat
You're alright
Hanging out and stealing all the limelight
Messing with the beat of my heart
Messing with the beat of my heart
You used to be a mean kid
Making such a deal on life
You were wishing and hoping and waiting to really hit the big time
But did it happen, happen no
You're speeding too fast
Slow down, slow down
You'd better slow down
Slow down
You really know how to set the mood
And you really get inside the groove
Cool cat
Tapping on the toe with a new hat
Just cruising
Driving along like the swing king
Feeling the beat of my heart
Feeling the beat of my heart - yeah, yeah
Feeling the beat of my heart, can you feel it
Feeling the beat of my heart...
11. Under Pressure
Pressure
pushing down on me
Pressing down on you no man ask for
Under pressure - that burns a building down, splits a family in two
Puts people on streets
That's
OK
It's the terror of knowing what this world is about
Watching some good friends screaming "Let me out!"
Pray tomorrow - gets me higher
Pressure on people - people on streets
Chippin around - kick my brains around the floor
These are the days it never rains but it pours
People on streets
People on streets
It's
the terror of knowing what this world is about
Watching some good friends screaming "Let me out!"
Pray tomorrow - gets me higher
Pressure on people - people on streets
Turned
away from it all like a blind man
Sat on a fence but it don't work
Keep coming up with love but it's so slashed and torn
Why-why-why
Love
Insanity laughs under pressure we're cracking
Can't
we give ourselves one more chance
Why can't we give love that one more chance
Why can't we give love.....
Cause love's such an old fashioned word
And love dares you to care for the people on the edge of the night
And love dares you to change our way of caring about ourselves
This is our last dance, this is our last dance
This is ourselves
Under pressure
Under pressure
Pressure
