GOOD THINGS TAKE A LONG TIME TO COOK This black-guy told me, that to do it right, You gotta move n groove 'n make it tight. And if you want to make it real good, You gotta stir it up 'n leave it to cook. So are you ready for a tasty treat? Are you ready for a funky beat? Are you ready to get on your feet? One, two…1,2,3,4… Good things take a long time to cook. You’re feelin’ hungry for a groovy thing. Lookin’ around to find something. You’re lookin’ up and down; you’re lookin’ left 'n right. You need a solid solution for your appetite. Make it fast? You better pass ‘Cause don’t you know what you risk to miss When you make it speedy, you’re bein’ fleety. I’m talkin’ about missin’ the real thing. You better ditch that dish, luv. You better ditch that dish. You better quit that quick stuff. You better quit that quick. ‘Cause it takes time for things to mingle. It takes time for things to tingle. Cotta stir it up 'n leave it to cook. You gotta stir it up ‘til it gets good. So, what you need is patience, man. They’re things much better than straight from the can. All it takes is a little preparation. Concentration and experimentation. It’s chemistry, that’s what you gotta see. And it’s easy, as one, two, three. Mix it up, spice it hot, Move it around, 'n cover the pot. You can shove it in the oven, But you’ll miss the bliss Of good things bubblin’. Do you get the gist? ‘Cause it takes time for things to mingle. It takes time for things to tingle. Gotta stir it up 'n leave it to cook. You gotta stir it up ‘til it gets good. Good things take a long time to cook.

A.W.O.L. 04:26
A.W.O.L. I don't care what you say. There ain't no way that I'm gonna stay. You talk so smooth, 'n you act real cool, But all you push is a bunch of rules…in this place. Tellin' me when, where, and what to do. But now I'm tellin' you, man: "I'm through". Yah, one fine day, when you're turned away, I'll gather my things and be on my way…from this place. A.W.O.L. It's gonna be A.W.O.L. Over the wall and away from here, yah, A.W.O.L. What ya want with me? What ya lookin' for? You keep shakin' me down, I can't take no more. Always checkin' on me, you won't let me be. But just you wait 'n see, I'll get me free…from this place. A.W.O.L. It's gonna be A.W.O.L. Over the wall and away. from here, yah, A.W.O.L. A.W.O.L. I’m goin’ for A.W.O.L. Absence without official leave. You're always sayin' you know what's good for me, But you ain't me, man, and you can't see. And it ain't right what's happenin' here. You're foolin' around, yes you are, with privilege and fear. Tellin' me what's right, 'n tellin' me what's wrong. You better believe it, I ain't takin' this for long. You can lock the doors, keep me busy with chores. Organize my days, but I'll find a way…to quit this place. A.W.O.L. It's gonna be A.W.O.L. Over the wall and away from here, yah, A.W.O.L. A.W.O.L. I’m goin’ for A.W.O.L. Absence without official leave, yah, A.W.O.L. Check it out now! A.W.O.L.

LAISSEZ VIVRE Vivre et lissez vivre Laissons les femmes libres Les autochtones autonomes Et les gitans paisibles Vivre et laissez vivre Laissons les forêts libres Les animaux, les océans Et tout ce qui vit simplement Silencieusement, les fleurs transpercent le ciment. Astucieusement, la nature a tout son temps. Vivre et laissez vivre Laissons les anges libres Les planètes et les étoiles Laissons les dieux tranquilles. Vivre et laissez vivre. Vivre et laissez vivre. Laissez vivre. Laissez vivre.

I’VE GOT A BAD HABIT I’ve got a nasty craving, A persistent itch, A gnawing hunger, An unrelenting twitch. I’ve got restless fingers, ’n roaving eyes. My heart is pounding, and I breathe in sighs. My nerves are wired, and my pulse : it quivers. I feel unbalanced; got a bad case of shivers. My head is buzzing, and my thoughts are wild. I’m burning with fever; my guts are on fire. I’m sweating all over; how come my mouth stays so dry? My skin is crawling, I don’t feel quite right. I’ve got a bad habit. It’s you. My thoughts are jumbled, and I feel quite numb. I can’t stop trembling, I’m coming undone. I’m real uptight. I’m feeling so tense. Can’t move my jaws ’cause my teeth are so clenched. Can’t stop from writhing; I’m real uneasy. Can’t keep it together. I feel so queasy. I’ve got hands that shake and temples that throb. This terrible frenzy; it just won’t seem to stop. I’ve got a bad habit. It’s you. I’m strung-out on you. I’m hung-up on you. Oh, I’m stuck on you, baby. I’m addicted to you. There ain’t nothing I can do. Oh no; oh no. I’ve got a bad habit.

TAKE THE FLOOR, LADIES! Ok, girls, what ya waitin’ for? To get up, and take the floor Set your hips in motion Wet your lips with emotion The tables are turned; now it’s your turn, baby, To set things right. The men are floored; now it’s your floor, ladies. You’re in the spot-light. Shake the negative reactions. Throw your souls into action. Don’t you cringe or hesitate. It’s time to come-on straight. The tables are turned; now it’s your turn, baby, To set things right. The men are floored; now it’s your floor, ladies. You’re in the spot-light. Come forward…..take the floor. Come forward….ladies! Now it’s your turn, baby, to set things right. Now it’s your floor, ladies, you’re in the spot-light. The tables are turned; now it’s your turn, baby. The men are floored; now it’s your floor, ladies.

MESCALITO 04:15
MESCALITO Au delà de tous nos tracas Y'a des geishas, des divas... Paulina, bella dona Les gitannas qui dansent la ]ava Nina, el senorita Mescalito dans le Moka-|ava. Plus haut, toujours plus haut Y'a des U-F-O incognitos Ave Maria...Cest le Nirvana, la blanche coca Méphisto dans les yeux d'un boa Mescalito... Haré, haré, allah! Haré, haré, haré, haré, allah! Ave Marie... Fantasia, c'est Ie coma Ma diva ne nous réveille pas Mescalito... A Lima, trouver tabac Voir les rayons gammas Dans les yéux dé Caligula Fantasia, c'est Ie coma Ma diva ne nous réveille pas Mescalito...

IT’S NEVER ENOUGH Never enough!….it’s never enough! You drink too much…to forget the unhappiness Eat too much…to fill the emptiness You smoke too much…to calm the nervousness You dream too much…to avoid the meaningless But it’s never enough!...never enough! Socialize too much…to ease the loneliness Talk too much…to disguise self-consciousness You work too much…to abate the craziness You worry too much…to cover the passiveness Too much, too long Too far, too strong Too fast, too steep Too loud, you go too deep But it’s never enough!...never enough! It’s never enough!.....never enough!

AIM FOR THE TARGET ! Below the waist; between the legs: Is where it hurts the most But where it feels the best. Just between us girls, Those boys have got a weak spot Where you can knock 'em out cold Or get 'em real hot. You can manage 'em easily. Build 'em up or bring 'em down. Forget sophisticated strategy And go for where it counts. Below the waist; between the legs: Is where it hurts the most But where it feels the best. Don't need the skills of seduction Nor lavish show of affection To bring the man to his knees, if that's what you please. Make him sigh; make him shy. Don't need tons of ammunition, Nor defensive mechanisms To stop him in his tracks, so he won't come back. Make the guy sore, you'll see him no more. Aim for the target! The center of attention. His means of satisfaction. His point of sensitivity. His place of vulnerability. Below the waist; between the legs: Is where it hurts the most But where it feels the best. Aim for the target!

SOMETHING’S STOPPING ME I’m listening…why don’t I hear? I’m watching…why don’t I see? I’m thinking…why don’t I reason? I’m breathing…why don’t I live ? My lips move…why don’t I speak? My limbs move…why don’t I act? My nerves twitch…why don’t I feel? Why don’t I? Something’s stopping me. I’m rested…why don’t I wake? My soul aches…why don’t I cry? My heart beats…why don’t I love? Why don’t I? What is stopping me?

SOLITAIRE 02:50
SOLITAIRE Je pense à toi quand tu t’en vas. Tu m’as dit que tu m’enverras Des pensées par télépathie Sans dépenser trop d’énergie. Des mots d’amour à tous les jours Qui me seront d’un grand secours Pour contrôler mes émotions Quand je sortirai de prison. Solitaire…. Ainsi pourra-t-on continuer A vivre ensemble et se parler En se disant des mots secrets Déposés dans un pistolet. Les jours de pluie où je m’ennuie Je sortirai mon grand fusil Et le portant contre ma tête La solitude va disparaître. Solitaire….. Mais je serai tout seul Avec toi dans ma tête et dans mon cœur. Je ne sentirai pas le vent Emporter la poussière du temps. Ce temps qui coule sous la barrière Emporte les années-lumière. Et moi qui serai sur le pont. Ne sentirai plus ma prison. Ni ce trou dans ma cellule Où les pensées qui circulent Font des trous dans mon cachot Pour libérer tous les mots. Ni les trous que j’accumule En faisant tous mes calculs Font ce trou dans mon cerveau Pour libérer les oiseaux. Solitaire….

CHEAP SCREW 03:49
CHEAP SCREW What I need is support; no cheap screw. I’m in need of support; don't you gimme no cheap screw. I don't like things that dangle; don't want no cheap screw. I said: "I don't like things that dangle." Don't you give me no cheap screw. No....No.… Make a solid attachment…no cheap screw. Won't you make it a real solid attachment…no cheap screw. Let's have a firm connection; don't want your cheap screw. I said a firm connection; don't want none of your cheap screw. Woahh! Can't seem to get a hold; it's a real frustration. Woahh! So hard to grasp; I'm filled with desperation. Woahh! Can't seem to get in close without a real exertion. Woahh! So hard to secure; it's an exasperation. A nice tight fit; Don't give me the slip. A good strong bond; Don't you make it go wrong.

DEVIATION 03:44
DEVIATION Don't like your straight talk. Don't like your straight walk. I don't like your direction. Don't trust your intention. Don't understand your alignment. I only see the confinement. Don't like your one-track minding. The effect is blinding. No limit; I'll steer clear. I pick to shift to high gear. Avoid the straight and narrow. No limit; I'll steer clear. I pick to shift to high gear. Detour around your established ways. Deviation. Deviation. Don't like your "one way". You always have the "last say". Don't want none of your trend. Your way is a dead end. Don't trust the way you manœuvre. You only drive to get further. On the straight you accelerate. Each second you calculate. No limit; I'll steer clear. I pick to shift to high gear. Avoid the straight and narrow. No limit; I'll steer clear. I pick to shift to high gear. Detour around your established ways. Deviation. Deviation. Deviation. Deviation.

PAS PEUR 03:49
PAS PEUR Pas peur de tomber, pas peur de l’eau Pas peur de plonger dans l’inconnu Pas peur de perdre, c’qu’on a gagné Y’a rien à perdre, faut toujours recommencer Pas peur du danger, vaut pas la peine Pas peur de cracher, tout c’qu’on a de trop Pas peur des mots comme diable et dieu Ni de vous qui voulez m’empêcher de croire à qui je veux Nous défoncerons les murs. Nous ne céderons jamais. Nous déferons les clôtures Et ferons ce qui nous plait. Pas peur de l’enfer, pas peur du noir Pas peur de la mort, pas peur de perdre le nord Pas peur du feu ni de la peur Pas peur de foncer à cent milles à l’heure Nous défoncerons les murs. Nous ne céderons jamais. Nous déferons les clôtures Et ferons ce qui nous plait.
