1. _ Boston Tea Party
[the sensational alex harvey band]
(alex harvey)
Chorus
Are you going to the party?
Are you going to the boston tea party?
Redcoats in the village
There's fighting in the streets
The indians and the mountain men, well
They are talking when they meet
The king has said he's gonna put a tax on tea
And that's the reason you all americans drink coffee
Chorus
Fire in the mountains, flames upon the heath
And the president spits out the news
He's biting on wooden teeth
The children of the colonies
Got a different tale to tell
I'm going down to the city
Tell my folks i'm doing well
Chorus
Bringing back the buffalo to the long prairie
Bringing back the fishes swimming in the sea
The children of the colonies
Got a different tale to tell
I'm going down to the city
Tell my folks i'm doing well

2. _ Solo
[sandy denny, "who knows where the time goes ..." ?]
(s. denny)
Good morning, good afternoon
And what have you got to say?
Well, i'm waiting, but i can't stay long
It's such a lovely day
There's a time to be talking
And there's a time when it's no use
Right now i think the things you say
Are liable to confuse
I've just gone solo
Do you play solo
Ain't life a solo?
What a wonderful way to live
She's travelling all over the world
Why, the flame and all the golden
Opportunities unfurled
No time for the gent with the mulliner bently
And heaven knows what else
Why, he wouldn't even stand a chance
With all his oilwells
She just went solo
Do you play solo
Ain't life a solo
I've always lived in a maison
On the other side of the moon
I've always kept a unicorn
And i never sing out of tune
I could tell you that the grass
Is really greener on the other side of the hill
But i can't communicate with you
And i guess i never will
We've all gone solo
We all play solo
Ain't life a solo

3. _ Question
[moody blues, "question of balance"]
(justin hayward)
Why do we never get an answer
When we're knocking at the door
With a thousand million questions
About hate and death and war?
'cuz when we stop and look around us
There is nothing that we need
In a world of persecution
That is parting in its greed
Why do we never get an answer
When we're knocking at the door?
Because the truth is hard to swallow
It's like a wall of blood before...
It's not the way that you say it when you do those things to me
It's more the way that you mean it when you tell me what will be and when you stop and think about it
You won't believe it's true
That all the love you've been giving
Has all been meant for you i'm looking for someone to change my life
I'm looking for a miracle in my life
But if you could see what it's done to me
To lose the love i knew
That safely leads me through...
Between the silence of the mountains and the crashing of the sea
There lies a land i once lived in
And she's waiting there for me
But in the grey of the morning
My mind becomes confused
Between the dead, and the sleeping,
And the road that i must choose
I'm looking for someone to change my life
I'm looking for a miracle in my life
And if you could see what it's done to me
To lose the love i knew
Could safely lead me to
The land that i once knew
The land as we grow old
The secrets of our soul
It's not the way that you say it when you do those things to me
It's more the way you really mean it when you tell me what will be
Why do we never get an answer
When we're knocking at the door?
With a thousand million questions
About hate and death and war
But when we stop and look around us
There is nothing that we need
In a world of persecution
That is parting in its greed

4. _ Fearless
[pink floyd, "meddle"]
(d. gilmour / n. mason / r. waters / r. wright)
You say the hill's too steep to climb,
Climb it!
You say you'd like to see me try,
Climb it!
You pick the place and i'll choose the time
And i'll climb
The hill in my own way
Just wait a while, for the right day
And as i rise above the treeline and the clouds
I look down hear the sound of the things you said today
Fearlessly the idiot faced the crowd, smiling
Nothing waits, the magistrate turns 'round, frowning
I know the fool who wears the crown
Go down in your own way
And everyday is the right day
And as you rise above the fearlines in the frown
You look down
Hear the sound of the faces in the crowd

5. _ Five Years
[david bowie, "the rise and fall of ziggy stardust and the spiders from mars"]
(d. bowie)
Pushing through the market square
So many mothers sighing
News had just come over
We had five years left to cry in
News guy wept and told us
Earth was really dying
Cried so much his face was wet
Then i knew he was not lying
I heard telephones, opera house, favourite melodies
Saw boys and toys, electric irons, tvs
My brain hurt like a warehouse
It had no room to spare
I had to cram so many things to store
Everything in there
And all the fat-skinny people
And all the tall-short people
And all the nobody people
And all the somebody people
I never thought i'd need so many people
A girl my age went off her head
Hit some tiny children
If the black hadn't a-pulled her off
I think she would have killed them
I saw a soldier with a broken arm
Fixed his stare to the wheels of a cadillac
A cop knelt and kiss the feet of a priest
And a queer threw up at the sight of that
I think i saw you in an ice-cream parlour
Drinking milk shakes cold and long
Smiling and waving and looking so fine
Don't think you knew you were in this song
And it was cold and it rained
So i felt like an actor
And i thought of ma
And i wanted to get back there
Your face, your race, the way that you talk
I kiss you, you're beautiful, i want you to walk
We got five years, stuck on my eyes
We got five years, what a surprise
We got five years, my brain hurts a lot
We got five years, that's all we've got

6. _ I Know What I Like (in Your Wardrobe)
[genesis, "selling england by the pound"]
(t. banks / p. collins / p. gabriel / s. hackett / m. rutherford)
It's one o'clock and time for lunch,
Dum-dee-dum-dee-dum-dum
When the sun beats down and i lie on the bench,
I can always hear them talk.
There's always been ethel:
"jacob, wake up! you've got to tidy your room now."
And then mister lewis:
"isn't it time that he was out on his own?"
Over the garden wall, two little lovebirds - cuckoo to you!
Keep them moving blades sharp...
I know what i like, and i like what i know;
Getting better in your wardrobe, stepping one beyond your show.
Sunday night, mr farmer called, said:
"listen son, you're wasting your time; there's a future for you
In the fire escape trade. come up to town!"
But i remebered a voice from the past;
"gambling only plays when you're winning"
- i had to thank old miss mort for schooling a failure.
Keep them moving blades sharp...
I know what i like, and i like what i know;
Getting better in your wardrobe, stepping one beyond your show.
When the sun beats down and i lie on the bench,
I can always hear them talk.
Me, i'm just a lawnmower - you can tell me by the way i walk.

7. _ Apeman
[the kinks]
(r. d. davies)
I think i'm sophisticated 'cause i'm living my life
Like a good homo sapiens
But all around me everybody's multiplying and
They're walking round like flies man
So i'm no better than the animals sitting
In the cages in the zoo
Cause compared to the flowers and the birds and the trees
I am an apeman.
I think i'm so educated and i'm so civilized
'cause i'm a strict vegetarian
But with the over-population and inflation and starvation
And the crazy politicians
I don't feel safe in this world no more,
I don't want to die in a nuclear war.
I want to sail away to a distant shore and make like an apeman.
I'm an apeman, i'm an ape, apeman, oh i'm an apeman
I'm a king kong man, i'm a voodo man, oh i'm an apeman
Cause compared to the sun that sits in the sky,
Compared to the clouds as they roll by,
Compared to the bugs and the spiders and flies i am an apeman.
In man's evolution he's created the city
And the motor traffic rumble.
But give me half a chance and i'd be taking off my clothes
And living in the jungle.
Cause the only time that i feel at ease
Is swinging up and down in the coconut trees.
Oh what a life of luxury to be like an apeman.
I'm an apeman, i'm an ape, apeman, oh i'm an apeman
I'm a king kong man, i'm a voodo man, oh i'm an apeman
I look out the window but i can't see the sky,
The air pollution is a-fucking up my eyes,
I want to get out of this city alive and make like an apeman.
Oh come on and love me, be my apeman girl
And we'll be so happy in my apeman world.
I'm an apeman, i'm an ape, apeman, oh i'm an apeman
I'm a king kong man, i'm a voodo man, oh i'm an apeman
I'll be your tarzan, you'll be my jane,
I'll keep you warm and you'll keep me sane,
We'll sit in the trees and eat bananas all day, just like an apeman.
I'm an apeman, i'm an ape, apeman, oh i'm an apeman
I'm a king kong man, i'm a voodo man, oh i'm an apeman
I don't feel safe in this world no more,
I don't want to die in a nuclear war.
I want to sail away to a distant shore and make like an apeman.

8. _ Hold Your Head Up
[argent, "all together now" and/or "hold your head up"]
(r. argent / c. white)
And if it's bad
Don't let it get you down, you can take it
And if it hurts
Don't let them see you cry, you can take it
Chorus
Hold your head up, hold your head up
Hold your head up, hold your head high
And if they stare
Just let them burn their eyes on you moving
And if they shout
Don't let them change a thing what you're doing
Chorus
