1.YOUNG AMERICANS

They pulled in just behind the bridge
He lays her down, he frowns
Gee my life's a funny thing, am I still too young
He kissed her then and there
She took his ring, took his babies
It took him minutes, took her nowhere
Heaven knows, she'd have taken anything, but
All night
She wants the young American
Young American, young American, she wants the young American
All right
She wants the young American
Scanning life through the picture window
She finds the slinky vagabond
He coughs as he passes her Ford Mustang, but
Heaven forbid, she'll take anything
But the freak, and his type, all for nothing
He misses a step and cuts his hand, but
Showing nothing, he swoops like a song
She cries "Where have all Papa's heroes gone
All the way from Washington
Her bread-winner begs off the bathroom floor
We live for just these twenty years
Do we have to die for the fifty more
All night
He wants the young American
Young American, young American
he wants the young American
All right
He wants the young American
Do you remember, your President Nixon
Do you remember, the bills you have to pay
Or even yesterday?
Have been the un-American?
Just you and your idol sing falsetto
'bout Leather, leather everywhere, and
Not a myth left from the ghetto
Well, well, well, would you carry a razor
In case, just in case of depression
Sit on your hands on a bus of survivors
Blushing at all the afro-Sheeners
Ain't that close to love?
Well, ain't that poster love
Well, it ain't that Barbie doll
Her hearts have been broken just like you
All night
You want the young American
Young American, young American, you want the young American
All right
You want the young American
You ain't a pimp and you ain't a hustler
A pimp's got a Cadi and a lady got a Chrysler
Black's got respect, and white's got his soul train
Mama's got cramps, and look at your hands ache
(I heard the news today, oh boy)
I got a suite and you got defeat
Ain't there a man who can say no more
And, ain't there a woman I can sock on the jaw
And, ain't there a child I can hold without judging
Ain't there a pen that will write before they die
Ain't you proud that you've still got faces
Ain't there one damn song
that can make me break down and cry

2.WIN

Me, I hope that I'm crazy
I feel you driving and you're only the wheel
Slow down, let someone love you
Oh, I've never touched you since I started to feel
If there's nothing to hide me
Then you've never seen me hanging naked and wired
Somebody lied, I say it's hip
To be alive
Now your smile is wearing thin
Seems you're trying not to lose
Since I'm not supposed to win
All you've got to do is win
Me, I'm fresh on your pages
Secret thinker sometimes listening aloud
Life lies dumb on its heroes
Wear your wound with honor, make someone proud
Someone like you should not be allowed
To start any fires
Now your smile is wearing (spreading?) thin
Seems you're trying not to lose
Since I'm not supposed to win
All you've got to do is win

3.FASCINATION

Every time I feel fascination
I just can't stand still, I've got to use her
Every time I think of what she pulled me through, dear
Fascination moves sweeping near me
Still I take ya
Fascination
Takes a part of me
Takes a part of me
Can a heart-beat
Live in a fever, live in a fever
Raging inside of me
Fascination
Oh yeah
Takes a part of me
I can't help it I can't help it
I've got to use her every time
Fascination comes around
Your soul is calling
Like when I'm walking
Seems that everywhere I turn
I hope you're waiting for me
I know that people think
That I'm a little crazy
Oh, better sex is fun
I think I like fascination

4.RIGHT

Taking it all the right way
Keeping it in the back
Taking it all the right way
Never no turning back
Never need, no
Never no turning back
Flying in just a sweet place
Coming inside and safe
Flying in just a sweet place
Never been known to fail
Never been, no
Never been known to fail
Wishing you
wishing that sometimes
Doing it, doing it right, 'til doing it one time
Gets you when you're down
nobody, nobody, do it again, get off
sometimes, doing
Wishing sometimes
Give it back
Up there, up there
Oh, my darling
My darling, giving it up there why
Gimme, gimme, up there, gimme, doing
Taking with me, loving it, doing it right 'til take it one time
Gimme, doing it, giving it, giving it back

5.SOMEBODY UP THERE LIKES ME

He's everybody's token, on everybody's wall
Blessing all the papers, thanking one and all
Hugging all the babies, kissing all the ladies
Knowing all that you think about from writing on the wall
He's so divine, his soul shines
Breaks the night, sleep tight
His ever loving face smiles on the whole human race
He says "I'm somebody"
He's got his eye on your soul, his hand on your heart
He says "Don't hurry, baby
Somebody up there likes me"
He's the savage son of the TV tube
Planets wrote the day was due
All the wisest men around
Predicted that a man was found
Who looked a lot like you and me, yeah
Everyone with sense could see
Nothing left his eye unmoved, he
Had the plan, he had to use
He's so divine, his soul shines
Breaks the night, sleep tight
His ever loving face smiles on the whole human race
He says "I'm somebody"
He's got his eye on your soul, his hand on your heart
He says "Don't hurry, baby,
Somebody up there likes me"
Somebody plays my song in tune
Makes me, makes me, makes me stronger for you, babe
Was a way when we were young, that
Any man was judged by what he'd done
But now you pick them on the screen
What they look like
Where they've been
He's got his eye on your soul, his hand on your heart
He says "Don't hurry, baby,
Somebody up there (somebody) likes me"
Leaders come, they hate all the people know
That given time, the leaders go
Tell me, can they hold you under their spell
Can they walk and hold you as well as a
Smile like Valentino
Could he sell you anything
Keep your eyes on your soul, keep your hand on your heart
He says "Don't hurry, baby
Somebody up there (somebody) likes me"
Somebody (somebody) somebody (somebody
Yeah, can't remember (somebody) peace so well
Oh, space to ramble, (somebody, somebody) space to boogie
Soul shine, so divine
Somebody
Soul shine, so divine

6.ACROSS THE UNIVERSE (Lennon)

Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup
They slither wildly as they slip away
Across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind
Possessing and caressing me
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Images of broken light which dance before me like
A million eyes
They call me on and on
Across the universe
Thoughts meander like the restless wind inside a letter box
They tumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe
Sounds of laughter, shades of life are ringing
Through my open ears
Inciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love, which shines around me like a million suns
It calls me on and on and on
Across the universe

7.CAN YOU HEAR ME

Once we were lovers, can they understand?
Closer than others I was your, I was your man
Don't talk of heartaches, oh, I remember them all
When I'm checking you out one day,
to see if I'm Faking it all
Can you hear me
Can you feel me inside
Show your love, love
Take it in right (take it in right)
Take it in right (take it in right)
There's been many others so many times
Sixty new cities, an' what do I, what do I
What do I find
I want love so badly, I want you most of all
You know, it's harder to take it from anyone
It's harder to fall
Can you hear me call you
Well, can you hear me
Can you feel me inside
Show your love, show your sweet, sweet love
Show me your love
Take it in right
Take it in right, yeah
Take it in right to your love life, baby
Take it in right to your love life
Take it in right, take it in right, right to your love life
Take it in right
Take it in, take it in right
Right down, right down
Why don't you take it
Why don't you take it
Right to your heart
Can you hear me?
Why don't you take it
Can you feel me
Why don't you take it
Can you take it in right
Why don't you take it
Right down, right down
Right to your heart
Can you take it
Why don't you take it
Down, to right down
Why don't you take it
To your heart
Why don't you take it
To your heart
Right to your heart
Take it down, take it down
Why don't you take it
Take it in right

8.FAME

Fame, makes a man take things over
Fame, lets him loose, hard to swallow
Fame, puts you there where things are hollow
Fame, it's not your brain, it's just the flame
That burns your change to keep you insane
Fame, what you like is in the limo
Fame, what you get is no tomorrow
Fame, what you need you have to borrow
Fame, "Nein! It's mine!" is just his line
To bind your time, it drives you to crime, fame
Could it be the best, could it be
Really be, really, babe?
Could it be, my babe, could it, babe
Really, really
Is it any wonder I reject you first
Fame, fame, fame, fame
Is it any wonder you are too cool to fool
Fame
Fame, bully for you, chilly for me
Got to get a rain check on pain
