Across the Lines by Tracy Chapman

Across the lines
Who would dare to go
Under the bridge
Over the tracks
That separates whites from blacks
Choose sides
Or run for your life
Tonight the riots begin
On the back streets of America
They kill the dream of America
Little black girl gets assaulted
Aint no reason why
Newspaper prints the story
And racist tempers fly
Next day it starts a riot
Knives and guns are drawn
Two black boys get killed
One white boy goes blind
Little black girl gets assaulted
Dont no one know her name
Lots of people hurt and angry
Shes the one to blame

GOLDEN BROWN BY THE STRANGLERS

Golden brown texture like sun

Lays me down with my mind she runs

Throughout the night

No need to fight

Never a frown with golden brown

Every time just like the last

On her ship tied to the mast

To distant lands

Takes both my hands

Never a frown with golden brown

Golden brown finer temptress

Through the ages she's heading west

From far away

Stays for a day

Never a frown with golden brown

Never a frown

With golden brown

Never a frown

With golden brown

Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds by The Beatles

Picture yourself in a boat on a river,
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies.
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly,
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes.
Cellophane flowers of yellow and green,
Towering over your head.
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes,
And she's gone.
{CHORUS}
Lucy in the sky with diamonds,
Lucy in the sky with diamonds,
Lucy in the sky with diamonds,
Ah... Ah...
{VERSE 2}
Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain,
Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies.
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers,
That grow so incredibly high.
Newspaper taxis appear on the shore,
Waiting to take you away.
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds,
And you're gone.
{CHORUS}
Picture yourself on a train in a station,
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties.
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile,
The girl with kaleidoscope eyes.

IT’S A MAN’S MAN’S MAN’S MAN’S WORLD BY JAMES BROWN

This is a man's world, this is a man's world

But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl

You see, man made the cars to take us over the road

Man made the train to carry the heavy load

Man made electro light to take us out of the dark

Man made the boat for the water, like Noah made the ark

This is a man's, man's, man's world

But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl

Man thinks about a little baby girls and a baby boys

Man makes then happy 'cause man makes them toys

And after man made everything, everything he can

You know that man makes money to buy from other man

This is a man's world

But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing, not one little thing, without a woman or a girl

Man needs a woman

Man's gotta have a woman

He needs a woman or a girl

He needs a woman

Man makes everything he can but a woman makes a better man

Man needs a woman

Man thinks about anything above but money can't buy him love

Face the fact

You've gotta face the fact

Man needs a woman

He needs a woman or a girl

Man needs a woman

SISTER’S ARE DOING IT FOR THEMSELVES BY ANNIE EURYTHMICS AND ARETHA FRANKLIN

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

(Just a same though)

MATERIAL GIRL BY MADONNA

Some boys kiss me, some boys hug me

I think they're O.K.

If they don't give me proper credit

I just walk away

They can beg and they can plead

But they can't see the light, that's right

'Cause the boy with the cold hard cash

Is always Mister Right, 'cause we are...

Living in a material world

And I am a material girl

You know that we are living in a material world

And I am a material girl

Some boys romance, some boys slow dance

That's all right with me

If they can't raise my interest then I

Have to let them be

Some boys try and some boys lie but

I don't let them play

Only boys who save their pennies

Make my rainy day, 'cause we are...

Living in a material world

And I am a material girl

You know that we are living in a material world

And I am a material girl

Living in a material world (material)

Living in a material world

(repeat)

Boys may come and boys may go

And that's all right you see

Experience has made me rich

And now they're after me, 'cause everybody's

Living in a material world

And I am a material girl

You know that we are living in a material world

And I am a material girl

A material, a material, a material, a material world

Living in a material world (material)

Living in a material world

(repeat and fade)
