Doin' it right, day and night.

Yeah, tell it, tell it, tell it like it T-I-is.

I gotta feel it.
You gotta move it.
You gotta move it, move it, move it,
To the deep, deep rhythm.
Tell it, tell it, tell it like it T-I-is.

Seems like things are gettin' so bad,
That you can smell it.
Yeah, so open those eyes
And get the real picture,
It's time to tell it.

I wanna talk, baby.

If you're looking for a moving sidewalk
Dreamin' 'bout a monorail to take you away.
Well, the day is now,
And here's the biz:
You better get the real picture;
Tell it like it T-I-is.

I'm spinnin' to the rhythm of the earth,
And the ocean.
See the situation.
Oh what a sight.

I wanna talk, baby.
I wanna say something.
I've got to tell it like it is.
T-IE-IE-IE-is.

Oh, don't upset
The balance of your nature.
Make the jump when the coast is clear
Oh, don't upset
The balance of your nature.
Reach the level above your fears.

Can you feel the movement?
Hear the untamed melody.
Tell it like it is and was and
Always should be-yeah!

Like it is and was, and always should be.
Is and was, and always should be.
Is and was, and always should be.
Is and was, and always should be.

Tell it, tell it.

Feelin' Alright

Written by Dave Mason

Performed by Joe Cocker

Seems I've got to have a change of scene
Every night I have the strangest dream
Imprisoned by the way it could have been
Left here on my own or so it seems
I've got to leave before I start to scream
But someone locked the door and took the key

You're feelin' alright? (Oh, no)
I'm not feelin' too good myself (no, no)
Yes sir, you're feelin' alright? (Oh, no)
I'm not feelin' that good myself, yeah (no, no)

Well boy, you sure took me for one big ride
And even now I sit and I wonder why
That when I think of you I start myself to cry
I just can't waste my time, I must get by
Gotta stop believin' in all your lies
'Cause there's too much to do before I die

Hey, you're feelin' alright? (Oh, no)
I'm not feelin' too good myself (no, no)
Oh no, you're feelin' alright? (Oh, no)
I'm not feelin' too good little girl (no, no)
Yeah

Mmm, don't you get too lost in all I say
Yeah, but at the time you know I really felt that way
But that was then, and now you know it's today
I can't escape, so I guess I'm here to stay
'Til someone comes along and takes my place, yeah
With a different name, whoa, and a different face

You're feelin' alright? (Oh, no)
I'm not feelin' that good myself, yeah (no, no)
Ah, you're feelin' alright? Let them know it (oh, no)
Yeah, I'm not feelin' that good myself (no, no)

Whoa, you're feelin' alright now? (Oh, no)
Yeah, I'm not feelin' that good myself (no, no)
Yeah (feelin' alright?)
Well, I know that (oh, no)
But I'm not feelin' good myself (no, no)
You can tell the world you're feelin' alright (oh, no)
Yeah, I'm not feelin' too good myself I tell you (no, no)
Oh, you feelin' alright now? (Oh, no)
Hey, I'm not feelin' too good this morning (no, no)

Brass in Pocket

Written by Chrissie Hynde and James Honeyman-Scott

Performed by The Pretenders

Got brass in pocket
Got bottle, I'm gonna use it
Intention, I feel inventive
Gonna make you, make you, make you notice

Got motion, restrained emotion
Been driving, Detroit leaning
No reason, just seems so pleasing
Gonna make you, make you, make you notice

Gonna use my arms
Gonna use my legs
Gonna use my style
Gonna use my sidestep
Gonna use my fingers
Gonna use my, my, my imagination

'Cause I'm gonna make you see
There's nobody else here, no one like me
I'm special (Special), so special (Special)
I gotta have some of your attention, give it to me

Got rhythm, I can't miss a beat
Got new skank, it's so reet
Got something I'm winking at you
Gonna make you, make you, make you notice

Gonna use my arms
Gonna use my legs
Gonna use my style
Gonna use my sidestep
Gonna use my fingers
Gonna use my, my, my imagination

'Cause I'm gonna make you see
There's nobody else here, no one like me
I'm special (Special), so special (Special)
I gotta have some of your attention, give it to me

'Cause I'm gonna make you see
There's nobody else here, no one like me

American Girl

Written by Tom Petty

Performed by Tom Petty

Well she was an American girl
Raised on promises
She couldn't help thinkin' that there
Was a little more to life
Somewhere else
After all it was a great big world
With lots of places to run to
Yeah, and if she had to die tryin'
She had one little promise
She was gonna keep

Oh yeah, alright
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl

Well, it was kind of cold that night
She stood alone on her balcony
Yeah, she could hear the cars roll by
Out on 441
Like waves crashin' on the beach
And for one desperate moment there
He crept back in her memory
God it's so painful
Something that's so close
And still so far out of reach

Oh yeah, alright
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl

Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Oh yeah

Feels Like the First Time

Written by Michael Jones
Performed by Foreigner

I would climb any mountain
Sail across a stormy sea
If that's what it takes me, baby
To show you how much you mean to me

And I guess it's just the woman in you
That brings out the man in me
I know I can't help myself
You're all in the world to me

(It feels like the first time)
(Feels like the very first time)
(It feels like the first time)
(It feels like the very first time)

I have waited a lifetime
Spent my time so foolishly
But now that I've found you
Together we'll make history

And I know that it must be the woman in you
That brings out the man in me
I know I can't help myself
You're all that my eyes can see

And it feels like the first time
Like it never did before
Feels like the first time
Like we've opened up the door
Feels like the first time
Like it never will again
Never again

(Feels like the first time)
It feels like the first time
(It feels like the very first time)
Very first, feels
(It feels like the first time)
Oh, it feels like the first time
(Feels like the very first time)

Won't you open up the door? Yeah

(Feels like the first time)
(And it feels like the very first time)
(And it feels like the first time)
(It feels like the very first time)
(And it feels like the first time)
(It feels like the very first time)

Going Up The Country

Written by Alan Wilson

Performed by Canned Heat

I'm going up the country
Baby, don't you wanna go?
I'm going up the country
Baby, don't you wanna go?
I'm going to some place
Where I've never been before

I'm going, I'm going
Where the water tastes like wine
I'm going where the water tastes like wine
We can jump in the water
Stay drunk all the time

I'm gonna leave this city, got to get away
I'm gonna leave this city, got to get away
All this fussing and fighting, man, you know I sure can't stay

Now baby, pack your leaving trunk, you know we've got to leave today
Just exactly where we're going I cannot say
But we might even leave the U.S.A.
'Cause there's a brand new game that I wanna play

No use of you running or screaming and crying
'Cause you've got a home, man
Long as I've got mine

Mary Jane

Written by Glen Ballard, Alanis Morissette

Performed by Alanis Morissette

What's the matter Mary Jane, had a hard day?
As you place the: "Don't Disturb" sign on the door
You lost your place in line again, what a pity
You never seem to want to dance anymore

It's a long way down
On this roller-coaster
The last chance streetcar
Went off the track
And you're on it

I hear you're counting sheep again Mary Jane
What's the point of tryin' to dream anymore?
I hear you're losing weight again Mary Jane
Do you ever wonder who you're losing it for?

Well it's full speed baby
In the wrong direction
There's a few more bruises
If that's the way
You insist on heading

Please be honest Mary Jane
Are you happy?
Please don't censor your tears

You're the sweet crusader
And you're on your way
You're the last great innocent
And that's why I love you

So take this moment Mary Jane and be selfish
Worry not about the cars that go by
'Cause all that matters Mary Jane is your freedom
So keep warm my dear, keep dry

Tell me
Tell me
What's the matter Mary Jane?
Tell me
Tell me
Please be honest Mary Jane
Tell me
Ooh-ah

Ooh 

This Is It

Written by Kenny Loggins and Michael McDonald

Performed by Kenny Loggins

There've been times in my life
I've been wonderin' why
Still, somehow I believed we'd always survive
Now, I'm not so sure
You're waiting here, one good reason to try
But, what more can I say? What's left to provide?

Are you gonna wait for a sign, your miracle?
Stand up and fight

Make no mistake where you are
(This is it)
Your back's to the corner
(This is it)
Don't be a fool anymore
(This is it)

The waiting is over, no, don't you run
No way to hide
No time for wonderin' why
It's here, the moment is now, about to decide
Let 'em believe
Leave 'em behind
But keep me near in your heart
Know whatever you do, I'm here by your side

For once in your life, here's your miracle
Stand up and fight

Make no mistake where you are
(This is it)
You're goin' no further
(This is it)
Until it's over and done

Oh oh oh oh
(Who makes the choice of how it goes?)
It's not up to me this time
(You know)
Comes a day in every life

Make no mistake where you are
(This is it)
You're goin' no further
(This is it)
Until it's over and done
(This is it)
One way or another
(This is it)
(No one can tell what the future holds)
(This is it)
Your back's to the corner
(This is it)
(You make the choice of how it goes)
(This is it)
The waiting is over
(This is it)
(No one can tell what the future holds)
(This is it)
You're goin' no further
(This is it)

You Can Do Magic

Written by Russell Glyn Ballard

Performed by America

I never believed in things that I couldn't see
I said if I can't feel it then how can it be
No, no magic could happen to me
And then I saw you

I couldn't believe it, you took my heart
I couldn't retrieve it, said to myself
What's it all about
Now I know there can be no doubt

You can do magic
You can have anything that you desire
Magic, and you know
You're the one who can put out the fire

You know darn well
When you cast your spell you will get your way
When you hypnotize with your eyes
A heart of stone can turn to clay

Doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo

And when the rain is beatin' upon the window pane
And when the night it gets so cold, when I can't sleep
Again you come to me
I hold you tight, the rain disappears
Who would believe it
With a word you dry my tears

You can do magic
You can have anything that you desire
Magic, and you know
You're the one who can put out the fire

You know darn well
When you cast your spell you will get your way
When you hypnotize with your eyes
A heart of stone can turn to clay

Doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo

And If I wanted to
I could never be free
I never believed it was true
But now it's so clear to me

You can do magic
You can have anything that you desire
Magic, and you know
You're the one who can put out the fire

You know darn well
When you cast your spell you will get your way
When you hypnotize with your eyes
A heart of stone can turn to clay

Doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo
You're the one who can put out the fire
Doo, doo, doo
You're the one who can put out the fire
Doo, doo, doo
You're the one who can put out the fire
