Knuckle Down
~Ani Di Franco

That's just my cowgirl alter-ego
Riding on her bar room bull
Dripping with the sweat of irony
As the cowboys whoop and drool
Shooting glances at the mirror
To see if her scar is showing
She is truly going nowhere tonight

Lecherous old lady wanna-be
Much too young and shy
Flailing her whole life
Just thinking she can teach herself to fly
Vehement romantic
Frantic for forever right now
But forever's going nowhere tonight

Sick of goading her self-loathing
She thinks, I think I'd better leave
'Course whiskey makes me smarter
And I'm happy as can be
But please excuse me darlin
It's not you
It's me

And there's a dusty old dust storm on mars, they say
So tonight you can't see it too clear
Still I stood in line to look through their telescope
Looked like a distant ship light
As seen from a foggy pier
And I know that I was warned
Still it was not what I hoped
Yes I know that I was warned
Still it was not what I hoped

I think I'm done gunnin to get closer
To some imagined bliss
I gotta knuckle down
And just be ok with this
I'm gonna knuckle down
Just be ok with this
'Course that star struck girl is already someone I miss

I swear some stuff you just see better from further away
And I think I communicate best now, the less I say
And I can't dance if the band can't play
And the vibe is going nowhere tonight

'Cuz somewhere between Hollywood and its pretty happiness
And an anguish so infinite it's anybody's guess
Is a place where people are all teachers
And this just one long class
And that ass will get you nowhere tonight

There's a dusty old dust storm on mars they say
So tonight you can't see it too clear
Still I stood in line to look through their telescope
Looked like a distant ship light
As seen from a foggy pier
And I know that I was warned
Still it was not what I hoped
Yeah I know that I was warned
Still it was not what I hoped

I think I'm done gunnin to get closer
To some imagined bliss
I gotta knuckle down
Just be ok with this
Gotta knuckle down
Just be ok with this

'Course that star struck girl
Is already someone I miss

~Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves~

Now there was a time when they used to say
That behind every - "great man."
There had to be a - "great woman."
But in these times of change you know
That it's no longer true.
So we're comin' out of the kitchen
'Cause there's somethin' we forgot to say to you (we say)

Sisters are doin' it for themselves.
Standin' on their own two feet.
And ringin' on their own bells.
Sisters are doin' it for themselves.

Now this is a song to celebrate
The conscious liberation of the female state!
Mothers - daughters and their daughters too.
Woman to woman
We're singin' with you.
The "inferior sex" got a new exterior
We got doctors, lawyers, politicians too.
Everybody - take a look around.
Can you see - can you see - can you see
There's a woman right next to you.

Sisters are doin' it for themselves.
Standin' on their own two feet.
And ringin' on their own bells.
Sisters are doin' it for themselves.

Now we ain't makin' stories
And we ain't layin' plans
'Cause a man still loves a woman
And a woman still loves a man

Sisters are doin' it for themselves.
Standin' on their own two feet.
And ringin' on their own bells.
Sisters are doin' it for themselves

Neil Young - My My, Hey Hey (Out Of The Blue)

My my, hey hey
Rock and roll is here to stay
It's better to burn out
Than to fade away
My my, hey hey.

Out of the blue
and into the black
They give you this,
but you pay for that
And once you're gone,
you can never come back
When you're out of the blue
and into the black.

The king is gone
but he's not forgotten
This is the story
of a Johnny Rotten
It's better to burn out
than it is to rust
The king is gone
but he's not forgotten.

Hey hey, my my
Rock and roll can never die
There's more to the picture
Than meets the eye.
Hey hey, my my.

~So-Called Chaos~

Deadlines, meetings, and contracts all breached
D-days and structure, responsibility

Have-to's and need-to's, and get-to's by three
Eleventh hours, and upset employees

I want to be naked running through the streets
I want to invite this so called chaos that you'd think I dare not be
I want to be weightless flying through the air
I want to drop all these limitations but the shoes upon my feet

Heartburn and headaches, and soon-to-be ulcers
Compulsive yearnings, non-stop to please others

I want to be naked running through the streets
I want to invite this so called chaos that you'd think I dare not be
I want to be weightless flying through the air
I want to drop all these limitations at the shoes upon my feet

All wont be lost if I'm governed by my own inateness
Stop lights won't work I'll get home sound and safe regardless
Won't deem me had if I'm led by my own rulelessness
My fire wont quell and I'll be harm-free and distressless
Trust me

Line towing and helping, expectations up to living
Inside box obeying, inside line colouring

I want to be naked running through the streets
I want to invite this so called chaos that you'd think I dare not be
I want to be weightless flying through the air
I want to drop all these limitations at the shoes upon my feet

I want to be naked running through the streets
I want to invite this so called chaos that you'd think I dare not be
I want to be weightless flying through the air
I want to drop all these limitations and return to who I was meant to be

Passover~ Joy Division
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_NggH3O90o

This is a crisis I knew had to come,
Destroying the balance I'd kept.
Doubting, unsettling and turning around,
Wondering what will come next.
Is this the role that you wanted to live?
I was foolish to ask for so much.
Without the protection and infancy's guard,
It all falls apart at first touch.

Watching the reel as it comes to a close,
Brutally taking its time,
People who change for no reason at all,
It's happening all of the time.
Can I go on with this train of events?
Disturbing and purging my mind,
Back out of my duties, when all's said and done,
I know that I'll lose every time.

Moving along in our God given ways,
Safety is sat by the fire,
Sanctuary from these feverish smiles,
Left with a mark on the door,
Is this the gift that I wanted to give?
Forgive and forget's what they teach,
Or pass through the deserts and wastelands once more,
And watch as they drop by the beach.

This is the crisis I knew had to come,
Destroying the balance I'd kept,
Turning around to the next set of lives,
Wondering what will come next.

~Halo by Beyoncé Knowles~

Remember those walls I built?
Well, baby they're tumbling down
And they didn't even put up a fight
They didn't even make a sound
I found a way to let you in
But, I never really had a doubt
Standing in the light of your halo
I got my angel now

It's like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breaking
It's the risk that I'm taking
I ain't ever gonna shut you out!

Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby, I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace
You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby, I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away

I can feel your halo
(Halo), halo
I can see your halo
(halo), halo
I can feel your halo
(Halo), halo
I can see your halo
(halo), halo

Hit me like a ray of sun
Burning through my darkest night
You're the only one that I want
Think I'm addicted to your light
I swore I'd never fall again
But this don't even feel like falling
Gravity can't forget
To pull me back to the ground again

It's like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breaking
It's the risk that I'm taking
I'm never gonna shut you out!

Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby, I can see your halo
Pray it won't fade away

I can feel your halo
(Halo), halo
I can see your halo
(halo), halo
I can feel your halo
(Halo), halo
I can see your halo
(halo), halo

Halo, ooh ooh.....
Halo, ooh ooh, ooooh........

Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby, I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace
You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby, I can feel your halo
I pray it won't fade away

I can feel your halo
(Halo), halo
I can see your halo
(halo), halo
I can feel your halo
(Halo), halo
I can see your halo
(halo), halo

Halo oOo :)

Effect And Cause - The White Stripes

I guess you have to have a problem
If you want to invent a contraption
First you cause a train wreck
Then they put me in traction
Well, first came an action
And then a reaction
But you can't switch around
For your own satisfaction
Well, you burned my house down, then got mad
At my reaction

Well, in every complicated situation
Of human relation
Making sense of it all
Takes a whole lot a concentration
Well, you can blame a baby
For her pregnant ma
And if there's one of these unavoidable laws
It's that you just can't take the effect
And make it the cause

Well, you can't take the effect
And make it the cause
I didn't rob a bank
Because you made up the law
Blame me for robbing Peter
But don't you blame Paul
You can't take the effect
And make it the cause

I ain't the reason that you gave me no reason to return your call
You built a house of cards and got shocked when you saw them fall
Well I ain't sayin' I'm innocent
In fact the reverse
But if you're headed to the grave
You don't blame the hearse
You're like a little girl yellin' at her brother
'Cause you lost his ball

Well you keep blamin' me for what you did
But that ain't all
The way you clean up a wreck
Is enough to give one pause
Well you seem to forget
Just how this all started
I'm reactin' to you because you left me broken-hearted
See, you just can't take the effect
And make it the cause

Well you can't take the effect
And make it the cause
I didn't rob a bank
Because you made up the law
Blame people robbin' Peter
But don't you blame Paul
You can't take the effect
And make it the cause

~Macarena~
(weird choice I know, but I identify so much with this hardcore chick and the lyrics. Wtf does that say about me? lol)


(I am not trying to seduce you)

When I dance they call me Macarena
and the boys they say que soy buena
they all want me
they can't have me
so they all come and dance beside me
Move with me
Chant with me
and if you're good I'll take you home with me

Dale a tu cuerpo alegria Macarena
Que tu cuerpo es pa' darle alegria y cosa buena
Dale a tu cuerpo alegria, Macarena
Hey Macarena

Now don't you worry about my boyfriend
The boy who's name is Vitorino
I don't want him
couldn't stand him
He was no good so I ...
Ha ha-ha-ha-ha!

Now come on, what was I supposed to do?
He was out of town and his two friends were sooo fine

Dale a tu cuerpo alegria Macarena
Que tu cuerpo es pa' darle alegria y cosa buena
Dale a tu cuerpo alegria, Macarena
Hey Macarena

Come and find me, my name is Macarena
always at the party con las chicas que soy buena
come join me,
dance with me
and you fellows chant along with me.

Dale a tu cuerpo alegria Macarena
Que tu cuerpo es pa' darle alegria y cosa buena
Dale a tu cuerpo alegria, Macarena
Hey Macarena

5 Shots of Whiskey~ Hank Williams The Third
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0Fy71zb9Kc


Livin alone,
singin my songs
Thinkin bout the good times
when you were my own
Lady you taught me
how to hurt and cry,
and each day I'm not with you
I die more inside
Honey sweet lady why did you go?
and leave me here dying
all alone in my world?
It's all gone wrong
since you've been gone

So give me 5 shots of whiskey
to help kill the misery and pain
you put me through
Thanks for the good times,
for they were the best of my life
I spent with you
Now what can I do?

Walkin' on Broadway
not havin a care
I see you and your new guy
who's strokin' your hair
And I can't keep staying
here in my hometown,
got to get on with my life somehow
It's all gone wrong
since you've been gone

So give me 5 shots of whiskey
to help kill the misery and pain
you put me through
Thanks for the good times,
for they were the best of my life
I spent with you
and I still love you

ChopChop1

Now above explain every thing about you why you act the way you act on tables and make comments when you know that I am muzzeled and cant defend my self stupid red neck. This is Ace777 by the way

How Soon Is Now?

I am the son and the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I'm the son and heir
Of nothing in particular

You shut your mouth, how can you say
I go about things the wrong way
I am human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does

I am the son and the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I'm the son and heir
Of nothing in particular

You shut your mouth, how can you say
I go about things the wrong way
I am human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does

There's a club, if you'd like to go
You could meet someone who really loves you
So you go, and you stand on your own and you leave on your own
And you go home, and you cry and you want to die

When you say it's gonna happen "now"
When exactly do you mean?
See, I've already waited too long
And all my hope is gone

Someday
Not one in particular

Dr. Hook - Sylvia's Mother lyrics



Artist: Dr. Hook
Song: Sylvia's Mother

Lyrics:

Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's busy, too busy to come to the phone
Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's trying, to start a new life of her own
Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's happy, so why don't you leave her alone
And the operator says Forty cents more, for the next three minutes

CHORUS:
Please Mrs. Avery I just got to talk to her
I'll only keep her a while
Please Mrs. Avery I just want to tell her
Goodbye


Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's packing, she's going be leaving today
Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's marrying, a fellow down Galveston-Way
Sylvia's mother says Please don't say nothing, to make her start crying and stay
And the operator says Forty cents more, for the next three minutes


CHORUS


Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's hurrying, she's catching the nine o'clock train
Sylvia's mother says Take your umbrella, cause Sylvia it's starting to rain
And Sylvia's mother says Thank you for calling and sir won't you come back again
And the operator says Forty cents more, for the next three minutes


CHORUS


Tell her goodbye
Please, tell her goodbye
Goodbye


Dr. Hook - Sylvia's Mother Lyrics

Dr Hook - When you're in love with a beautiful woman

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4i_Fia4vTM


When you're in love with a beautiful woman
It's hard
When you're in love with a beautiful woman
You know it's hard
Everybody wants her
Everybody loves
her
Everybody wants to take your baby home

When you're in love with a beautiful woman
You watch your friends
When you're in love with a beautiful woman
It never ends
You know that it's crazy
You want to trust her
Then somebody hangs up when you answer the phone
When you're in love with a beautiful woman
You go it alone

Maybe it's just an ego problem
Problem is I've been fooled before
By fair-weather friends and faint-hearted lovers
And everytime it happens
It just convinces me more

When you're in love with a beautiful woman
You watch her eyes
When you're in love with a beautiful woman
You look for lies
Everybody tempts her
Everybody tells her
She's the most beautiful woman they know

When you're in love with a beautiful woman
You go it alone
When you're in love with a beautiful woman
You watch your friends
When you're in love with a beautiful woman
It never ends
When your in love with a beautiful woman
You watch her eyes
When you're in love with a beautiful woman
You keep looking for lies

Anyone who ever held you
Would tell you the way I'm feeling
Anyone who ever wanted you
Would try to tell you what I feel inside
The only thing I ever wanted
Was the feeling that you ain't faking
The only one you ever thought about
Wait a minute can't you see that I

I wanna fall from the stars
Straight into your arms
I, I feel you
I hope you comprehend

For the man who tried to hurt you
He's explaining the way I'm feeling
For all the jealousy I caused you
States the reason why I'm trying to hide
As for all the things you taught me
It sends my future into clearer dimensions
You'll never know how much you hurt me
Stay a minute can't you see that I

I wanna fall from the stars
Straight into your arms
I, I feel you
I hope you comprehend

Too many hearts are broken
A lover's promise never came with a maybe
So many words are left unspoken
The silent voices are driving me crazy
As for all the pain you caused me
Making up could never be your intention
You'll never know how much you hurt me
Stay can't you see that I

I wanna fall from the stars
Straight into your arms
I, I feel you
I hope you comprehend

You do something to me... Paul Weller

You do something to me
something deep inside
I'm hanging on the wire
for love I'll never find
You do something wonderful
chase it all away
mixing my emotions
throws me back again

Hanging on the wire yeah
I'm waiting for my change
I'm dancing through the fire
just to catch a flame
feel real again

Hanging on the wire
said I'm waiting for the change
Oh I'm dancing through the fire
just to catch a flame
feel real again

You do something to me
somewhere deep inside
Hoping to get close to me
a peace I cannot find

Dancing through the fire yeah
just to catch a flame
Just to get close to
just close enough
To tell you that.....

You do something to me - something deep inside

Your my best friend.... Queen


Ooo. you make me live
whatever this world can give to me
It's you, you're all I see
Ooo, you make me live now honey
Ooo, you make me live
You're the best friend
that I ever had
I've been with you such a long time
You're my sunshine
And I want you to know
That my feelings are true
I really love you
You're my best friend
Ooo, you make me live
I've been wandering round
But I still come back to you
In rain or shine
You've stood by me girl
I'm happy, happy at home
You're my best friend.
You're the first one
When things turn out bad
You know I'll never be lonely
You're my only one
And I love
The things that you do
You're my best friend
Ooo, you make me live.
I'm happy, happy at home
You're my best friend
You're my best friend
Ooo, you make me live
You, you're my best friend.

Mardy Bum - Arctic Monkeys.

Now then Mardy Bum
I see your frown
And it's like looking down the barrel of a gun
And it goes off
And out come all these words
Oh there's a very pleasant side to you
A side I much prefer

It's one that laughs and jokes around
Remember cuddles in the kitchen
Yeah, to get things off the ground
And it was up, up and away
Oh, but it's right hard to remember
That on a day like today when you're all argumentative
And you've got the face on

Well now then Mardy Bum
Oh I'm in trouble again, aren't I?
I thought as much
Cause you turned over there
Pulling that silent disappointment face
The one that I can't bear

Can't we laugh and joke around
Remember cuddles in the kitchen
Yeah, to get things off the ground
And it was up, up and away
Oh, but it's right hard to remember
That on a day like today when you're all argumentative
And you've got the face on

Yeah I'm sorry I was late
Well I missed the train
And then the traffic was a state
And I can't be arsed to carry on in this debate
That reoccurs, oh when you say I don't care
Well of course I do, yeah I clearly do!

So laugh and joke around
Remember cuddles in the kitchen
Yeah, to get things off the ground
And it was up, up and away
Still it's right hard to remember
That on a day like today when you're all argumentative
And you've got the face on

Got My Mojo Working.. Louis Jordan


I got my mojo working but
It just won't work on you
I wanna love you so bad
I don't know what to do
I got a black cat's bone
And it's pure and dry
I got a four leaf clover
'Bout to make me cry
I got my mojo working but
It just won't work on you
I wanna love you so bad
I don't know what to do
I go to sprinkle goofy dust
All around your head
I got some black snake roots
Underneath your bed
I got my mojo working but
It just won't work on you
I wanna love you so bad
I don't know what to do
Gypsy woman
Giving me advice
I got some red hot tips
I gotta keep on ice
I got my mojo working but
It just won't work on you
I wanna love you so bad
I don't know what to do

Voodoo Child (Slight Return) - Jimi Hendrix

Well, I stand up next to a mountain
And I chop it down with the edge of my hand
Well, I stand up next to a mountain
And I chop it down with the edge of my hand
Well, I pick up all the pieces and make an island
Might even raise a little sand

Cause Im a voodoo child
Lord knows Im a voodoo child baby

I want to say one more last thing
I didnt mean to take up all your sweet time
Ill give it right back to ya one of these days
I said I didnt mean to take up all your sweet time
Ill give it right back one of these days

Oh yeah

If I dont meet you no more in this world then uh
Ill meet ya on the next one
And dont be late
Dont be late

Cause Im a voodoo child voodoo child
Lord knows Im a voodoo child

~Spaceman~

Pungent smells
They consummate my home
Beyond the black horizon
Trying to take control
See my girl
She shivers in her bones
The sun and zenith rising
Trying to take us all

Theres a fire between us
So where is your god?
Theres a fire between us
I can't get off the carousel

The sickening taste of homophobic jokes
Images of fascist folks
Beam me up 'cause I can't breathe

Spaceman
I always wanted you to go into space man.
Intergalactic christ

Its time to terminate this great white world
Morbid fascination
Television takes control
Decimation
Different races fall
Electronic information tampers with your soul

Theres a fire between us
So where is your god?
Theres a fire between us
I can't get off the carousel - I can't get of this world

The sickening taste of homophobic jokes
Images of fascist folks
Beam me up 'cause I can't breathe

Spaceman
I always wanted you to go into space man-Intergalactic christ

Spaceman
I always wanted you to go into space man-Intergalactic christ

I said a lil' honey bunny tell me what's your 20
I got my rabbit ears on and I wanna get chummy chummy
Yeah you're a speed-freakin' demon blow my back doors off, Lord
But if you ain't gettin on then I ain't gettin off
Well I'm 10-4, 10-8 an' I got the 10-36
I like to stick around and get my miniskirt kicks, hey-hey

Well C'mon, C'mon cut yer radidio on
I'm in the hammer down lane steppin' all alone
You pass your steady-rollin' buddy from the Guitar Town
Raise hell on wheels & knock the slack right out
Well C'mon perty baby, why don'tcha cut em on
Yer diesel-drivin' daddy's gonna get real gone, hey hey

Well my CB sweet just put her big ears on
Her Rattletrap papa who her handle on
Well She knew I wasn't no Smokey with an X-ray gun
Now she's in my bottle-popper all ready to run
Well, she's my li'l lot-lizard but she don't shed her skin
She just skins the cat when my big rigger rolls in.

ABBA-The Winner Takes It All Live 1980


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OuJl1T-trLw





Title: Abba - The Winner Takes It All lyrics

Artist: Abba Lyrics


"The Winner Takes It All"


I don�t wanna talk
About the things we�ve gone through
Though it�s hurting me
Now it�s history
I�ve played all my cards
And that�s what you�ve done too
Nothing more to say
No more ace to play

The winner takes it all
The loser standing small
Beside the victory
That�s her destiny

I was in your arms
Thinking I belonged there
I figured it made sense
Building me a fence
Building me a home
Thinking I�d be strong there
But I was a fool
Playing by the rules

The gods may throw a dice
Their minds as cold as ice
And someone way down here
Loses someone dear
The winner takes it all
The loser has to fall
It�s simple and it�s plain
Why should I complain.

But tell me does she kiss
Like I used to kiss you?
Does it feel the same
When she calls your name?
Somewhere deep inside
You must know I miss you
But what can I say
Rules must be obeyed

The judges will decide
The likes of me abide
Spectators of the show
Always staying low
The game is on again
A lover or a friend
A big thing or a small
The winner takes it all

I don�t wanna talk
If it makes you feel sad
And I understand
You�ve come to shake my hand
I apologize
If it makes you feel bad
Seeing me so tense
No self-confidence
But you see
The winner takes it all
The winner takes it all......

Interstate Love Song
~STP

Waiting on a Sunday afternoon
for what I read between the lines,
your lies.
Feelin' like a hand in rusted shame
so do you laugh or does it cry?
Reply?

Leavin' on a southern train
only yesterday you lied,
promises of what I seemed to be
only watched the time go by,
all of these things you said to me.

Breathing is the hardest thing
to do. with all I've said and
all that's dead for you,
you lied - good bye

Leavin' on a southern train
only yesterday you lied
promises of what I seemed to be
only watched the time go by,
all of these things I said to you.

Back in 1970

We didn't know about
A world wide web

It was a whole different game being played
Back when I was a kid

Wanna get down
In a cool way?

Picture yourself on a beautiful day

Big bell bottoms
And groovy long hair
Justa walking in style
With a portable CD player

No!
...you would listen
To the music on
The AM Radio (AM Radio, AM Radio)

Yeah...you could hear the music
The AM Radio (AM Radio)

Flashback to '72
Another summer in the neighborhood
Hanging out with nothing to do

Sometimes
We'd go driving around
In my sister's Pinto
Cruisin' with the windows rolled down

We'd listen to the radio station
We were too damn poor
To buy the 8 track tapes

There wasn't any good time
To want to be inside
My mom would want to watch that TV all goddamn night

I'd be in bed with the radio on
I would listen to it all night long
Just to hear my favorite song

You'd have to wait
But you could hear it
On the AM Radio (Am Radio, Am Radio)

Yeah...you could hear the music
On the AM Radio (AM Radio)

I can still hear mama say
"Boy...Turn that radio down!"

[Spoken]: Aw mom, not that show again! I don't
want to watch that show. Can't we watch Good
Times or Chico And The Man, or something cool?
Turn it off!
(Turn it off, turn it off, turn it off)

Things changed back in '75
We were all growing up
On the in
And the outside
We got in trouble with the police man
We got busted
Getting high
In the back of my friend's van

I remember 1977
I started going to concerts
And I saw the Led Zeppelin
I got a guitar
On a Christmas day
I dreamed that Jimmy Page
Would come to Santa Monica
And teach me to play
Play!
Teach me to play!
Play!
Teach play!
Play!
Ay, Ay, hey, yeah

There isn't any place that I need to go
There isn't anything that I need to know
That I did not learn from the radio

[Male announcer's laugh]: huh-uh huh-uh huh-uh huh

Yeah when things get stupid
And I just don't know
Where to find my happy

I listen to the music
On the AM Radio (AM Radio)

You could hear the music
On the AM Radio (AM Radio)

You could hear the music
On the AM Radio (Am Radio, Am Radio)

I like pop (AM Radio, AM Radio)...I like soul
I like rock
But I never liked disco
(AM Radio, AM Radio)

I like pop (AM Radio, AM Radio)...I like soul
I like rock
But I never liked disco
(AM Radio, AM Radio)

We like pop (AM Radio, AM Radio)...We like soul
We like to rock
But we never liked disco
(AM Radio, AM Radio)

We like pop (AM Radio, AM Radio)...We like soul
We like to rock
But we never liked disco
(AM Radio, AM Radio)

We like pop (AM Radio, AM Radio)...We like soul
We like to rock
But we never liked disco...No!
(AM Radio, AM Radio)

No, I never liked disco (AM Radio)
No, I never liked disco (AM Radio)
No, I never liked disco (AM Radio)
...no I never liked (AM Radio) disco! (AM Radio)
Nooooo(AM Radio)ooooooo! (AM Radio)
(AM Radio, AM Radio)
Oohhhhh!
(Am Radio, AM Radio)
