1. _ One Of The Living
(h. knight)
Producer: mike chapman
Albums: mad max beyond thunderdome soundtrack (85),
Grammy award: best rock vocal performance, female (86)
In the desert sun every step that you take could be the final one
In the burning heat hanging on the edge of destruction
You can't stop the pain of your children crying out in your head
They always said that the living would envy the dead
So now you're gonna shoot bullets of fire
Don't wanna fight but sometimes you've got to
You're some soul survivor
There's just one thing you've got to know
You've got ten more thousand miles to go
Because you're one of the living
And if we can't stick together
One of the living
Who's gonna make it tonight
Walk tall, cool, collected and savage
Walk tall, bruised, sensual, ravaged
It's every man for himself, every woman, every child
A new breed, ferocious and wild
And all they want to do is shoot bullets of fire
They wanna fight and sometimes you've got to
You're some soul survivor
There's just one thing you've got to know
You've got ten more thousand years to go
Because you're one of the living
And if we can't stick together
One of the living
Who's gonna make it tonight

2. _ Stronger Than The Wind
(e. mohawk, t. sciuto)
Producer: nick glennie-smith and roger davies
Albums: non-album track
B-side of the "i don't wanna lose you" uk single
B-side of the "steamy windows" german single
B-side of the "look me in the heart" us/oz single
You think you've done it all but i'd like to make a bet
There's so much more up ahead, you ain't seen nothing yet
It's gonna take a little time before the rain dies down
Till the storm is over you've got to stand your ground
You've got to be stronger than the wind
Got to be stronger
Stronger than the wind, it's gonna take a little longer
Stronger than the wind
You know it could be worse, at least you're not alone
There's a million billion souls who haven't even got a home
They haven't any bills to pay and no letters to send
They just wait for judgement day, at least you got a friend
Come on be stronger than the wind
Got to be stronger
Stronger than the wind, it's gonna take a little longer
Stronger than the wind
A tree stays rooted but a tree knows how to bend
Let the thunder and lighting flash above you
Right here on earth you got me to love you
You've got me to love you

3. _ Keep Your Hands Off My Baby
(t. kelly, b. steinberg)
Producer: carter
Album: non-album track
B-side of the german "private dancer" single
I've seen the way that you look at him,
When you think i'm not around,
And i've seen you try to catch his eyes,
And you think you're gainin' ground.
You know last night he told me,
Everything that you said,
You asked him if he gets lonely,
Well then get this through your head
Keep your hands off my baby,
Keep your hands off my baby,
Don't you know you better give it up,
Give it up, give it up, give it up, give it up,
Don't you know you better stop, better stop,
Leave my baby alone.
I've seen the way that you brushed back your hair,
I've heard your baby-talk,
I know just what you're thinkin' there,
Ooo, i'm watchin' what you want.
You know it took a lot of patience,
To win my baby's love,
Now you're tryin' my patience,
If you push, i'm gonna shove.
Keep your hands off my baby,
Keep your hands off my baby,
Don't you know you better give it up,
Give it up, give it up, give it up, give it up,
Don't you know you better stop, better stop,
Leave my baby alone (yeah).
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah....
I've seen the way that you look at him,
When you think i'm not around,
I've seen you try to catch his eyes,
And you think you're gainin' ground.
You know last night he told me,
Everything that you said,
You asked him if he gets lonely,
Well get this through your head.
Keep your hands off my ....,
Keep your hands off my baby,
Keep your hands off my baby,
Don't you know you better give it up,
Give it up, give it up, give it up, give it up,
Don't you know you better stop, better stop,
Leave my baby ....
Give it up (yeah), give it up (yeah), said give it up (yeah),
Give it up (yeah), give it up (yeah),
Don't you know you better stop, (better stop),
Leave my baby alone

4. _ Acid Queen
(p. townshend)
Producer: robert stigwood and ken russel
Albums: acid queen (76), "tommy" soundtrack (76), the collected recordings (94)
If your child ain't all he should be now
This girl will put him right
I'll show him what he could be now
Just give me one night
I'm the gypsy, the acid queen
Pay me before i start
I'm the gypsy and i'm guaranteed
To mend his aching heart
Give us a room, close the door
Leave us for a while
You won't be a boy no more
Young, but not a child
I'm the gypsy, the acid queen
Pay me before i start
I'm the gypsy, i'm guaranteed
To tear your soul apart
Gather your wits and hold them fast
Your mind must learn to roam
Just as the gypsy queen must do
You're gonna hit the road
My work's been done, now look at him
He's never been more alive
His head it shakes, his fingers clutch
Watch his body writhe
I'm the gypsy, the acid queen
Pay me before i start
I'm the gypsy, i'm guaranteed
To break your little heart
If your child ain't all he should be now
This girl will put him right
I'll show him what he could be now
Just give me one more night
I'm the gypsy, the acid queen
Pay me before i start
I'm the gypsy, i'm guaranteed
To tear your soul apart

5. _ Easy As Life
Featuring angelique kidjo
(e. john, t. rice)
Producer: jean hebrail
Album: elton john and tim rice's aida (99)
This is the moment when the gods expect me
To beg for help but i won't even try
I want nothing in this world but myself to protect me
But i won't lie down, roll over and die
All i have to do is to forget how much i love him
All i have to do is put my longing to one side
Tell myself that love's an ever-changing situation
Passion would have cooled and all the magic would have died
It's easy, it's easy
Until i think about him as he was when i last saw him
And how he would have been were i to be with him today
Tender in his manner and myself consolation
All i ever wanted and i'm throwing it away
It's easy, it's easy as life
All i have to do is to pretend i never knew him
On those very rare occasions when he steals into my heart
Better to have lost him when the ties were barely binding
Better the content of the familiar kind of start
It's easy, it's easy
And though i'll think about him until the earth draws in around me
And though i choose to leave him for another kind of love
This is no denial, no betrayal, but redemption
Redeemed in my allies and in the pantheon above
It's easy, it's easy, it's easy as life

Lyrics to the version on "the collected recordings - 60s to 90s"
She's got legs, knows how to use them
She never begs, knows how to choose them
She's holdin' leg wonderin' how to feel them
Once that you get them, you can never lose them
Oh she's so fine and you got to have her
Yeah, you got it right
She's got hair down to her fanny
She's kinda jet set, try undo her panties
When she starts the dancin', knows what to do
Everybody comes to see, comes to see her do it
She's so fine, and you got to have her
Yeah you got it right
Lyrics to the version on the "addicted to love" single
She's got legs, knows how to use them
She never begs, knows how to choose them
Long leggy legs, knows what to do
Would you get behind them if you can just find them
All wild, so fine
Alright
She's got legs, knows how to use them
Jet set, knows how to party
Doin' all the dance, knows how to move
Everybody comes to see, comes to see her do it
All wild, all fine
Alright

Producer: carter
Album: we are the world (usa for africa)(85), the collected recordings (94)

Recline complete dreams too sweet
I can't do it not with you
Not even with you
Maybe never with you
And i'd sell my soul for total control
Yeah i'd sell my soul for total control
Street wet tonight, lovers touch
It's pure delight
Always certain any moment
Maybe even you
Stay in bed stained sheets
My head hurts i repeat
Maybe you maybe you
Maybe even you
And i'd sell my soul for total control
Yeah i'd sell my soul for total control
I'd sell my soul for total control
Over you, over you
Total control over you

I had quite a ball
When i was young
When i was young
When i was young it was more important
Pain more painful, the laughter much louder, yeah
When i was young
When i was young
I met my first love at thirteen
He was brown, and i was pretty green
I learned quite a lot
When i was young
When i was young
When i was young it was more important
Pain more painful, the laughter much louder, yeah
When i was young
My faith was so much stronger then
I believed in fellow men
I was so much older then
When i was young
When i was young
When i was young

10. _ Do Something
(h. knight, m. chapman)
Producer: trevor horn
Album: non-album track
B-side of the european "on silent wings" single
B-side of the american "missing you" single
You don't give out, you don't give in
You never seem to be attracted to the sin
The sin of love, the sin of all above
I give you my advice, it can be nice
I know you can't solve the problems of the world
But you don't have to be a precious little toy
Do something, do something
I'll wait a day, i'll wait a week
And i don't just wanna be dancing cheek to cheek
It's serious, this thing i need to do
Win or lose, it's all up to you
I can't believe that you could let me go this far
It can't be natural to be the way you are
Do something, do something
I've got this weakness, i'm losing power
I need your sweetness right here and now yeah
Deeper and deeper, hour after hour
I should be ruling but i'm not satisfied no, no
Not satisfied, i'm not satisfied
When i'm alone, can't do it on the phone
Won't let you go until i get just what i need
My heart is breaking oh baby baby please
Do something do something baby baby okay
Come on come on come on do something
Get down on your knees and do something
Oh baby, please, do something

(t. britten, g. lyle)
Producer: terry britten
Albums: simply the best (oz)
B-side of the "love thing" uk/ger single
You're so crude
But you're so nice
A boy like you could use some advice
You're so cruel
But you're so sweet
The way you're lookin'
When you're lookin' at me
Well, i'm keeping my thoughts to myself
And with what i'm thinkin'
You know it's just as well
I'm a lady
You can't go messin' around with my heart
I'm a lady
Now you need love
Cause your sweet talk
Won't do a thing for me
I prefer my man sugar free
I'm a lady
You're standing too close to me
A sure sign of immaturity
Young man you shouldn't be so bold
And exercise a little self-control
Uh, remember that we just met
You need to learn to walk
Before you jump ahead
I'm a lady
You can't go messin' around with my heart
I'm a lady
And you're attractive
But you don't go saying things like that
You're tryin' to make me forget
I'm a lady
You should have no regrets
Though you lost out on me
And when your friends ask you who you met
You can tell them that she
That she
Was a lady
I'm a lady
I'm keepin' my thoughts to myself
And with what i'm thinkin'
Yeah well maybe it's just as well
Yeah
I'm a lady
I'm a lady
No your sweet talk won't do a thing for me
I prefer my man sugar free
I'm a lady
Oh, yeah

12. _ Johnny And Mary
(r. palmer)
Producer: richard perry
Albums: the collected recordings (94)
From the "summer lovers" soundtrack
Johnny's always running around
Trying to find certainty
He needs all the world to confirm
That he ain't lonely
Mary counts the walls
Knows he tires easily
Johnny thinks the world would be right
If it could find truth for him
Mary says he changes his mind
More than a woman
But she made her bet
Even though the chance was slim
Johnny says he's willing to learn it
When he decides he's a fool
Johnny says he'll live anywhere
When he has time to
Mary combs her hair
Says she should be used to it
Mary always hedges her bets
She never knows what to think
She says that he still acts like he's
Being discovered
Scared that he'll get caught
Without a second thought
Johnny thinks he's wasting his prayers
Trying to make sense to her
Mary says he's lacking a real
Sense of proportion
So she combs her hair
Knows he tires easily
Johnny's always running around
Trying to find certainty
He needs all the world to confirm
That he ain't lonely
Mary counts the walls
Says he should be used to it
'cause mary's always running around
Running around, running around

So yo think you've got a hold on me
But did you ever, or is that your fantasy.
I'll miss you when you go,
But, no pain won't show
I'm free to search and go my way.
So bold, so bold and reckless.
I suppose you've been good to me
Maybe not enough to rock my sanity.
You never asked me questions,
And you never understood.
I'm free to search and go my way.
So bold, so bold and reckless.
So bold, yeah bold and reckless.
Well, i can't live in a cage,
I've just got to be free, dancin' and flyin' away.
But your always in my dreams, runin'
Yes, your always in my dreams, runin'
So we've been gettin' closer by degree
But, you won't ever bring me to my knees.
You'll never make me shy,
And you won't see me cry.
I'm still free to go my way.
So bold, so bold and reckless.
So bold, still bold and reckless.
Yes, you were always in my dreams runin'
Always in my dreams.
So bold, so bold and reckless.
Yeah, yeah, so bold and reckless.
Yeah, yeah, so bold and reckless.
Still bold, still bold and reckless.
Still bold, still bold and reckless.

Album: two rooms - celebrating the songs of elton john and bernie taupin (91)
I was justified when i was five
Raising cane, i spit in your eye
Times are changing, now the poor get fat
But the fever's gonna catch you when the bitch gets back
Eat meat on friday that's alright
Even like steak on a saturday night
I can bitch the best at your social do's
I get high from the speaking 'bout the things i do
I'm a bitch, i'm a bitch
I'm a bitch and i'm back
Stone cold sober as a matter of fact
I can bitch, i can bitch
'cause i'm better than you
It's the way that i move
The things that i do
I entertain by picking brains
Sell my soul by dropping names
I don't like those, my god, what's that
Oh it's full of nasty habits when the bitch gets back
I'm a bitch, i'm a bitch
I'm a bitch and i'm back
Stone cold sober as a matter of fact
I can bitch, i can bitch
I'm better than you
It's the way that i move
The things that i do

Album: private dancer emi centenary edition
B-side of the us/oz "what's love got to do with it" single
B-side of the uk/ger "help" single
I'm sitting at home and the phone doesn't even ring
I'm all alone again
Not a sound in the house save the radio
Fm dj filling up the emptiness
Baby's on the road again
Six weeks nation-wide opening the show
And i'm making it on my own like a rock'n roll widow
Get my news from the rolling stone, wake by the telephone
Wonder if he's alone
Or is my man on a permanent loan to rock'n roll
Rock'n roll
Outdoor concert, watching him play for me
I fall in love again
He says his music is everything
Helpless, caught by the melody
When he begins to sing
Go on, tell me he's like all the rest
And i'm making it on my own like a rock'n roll widow
Get my news from the rolling stone, wake by the telephone
Wonder if he's alone
Or is my man on a permanent loan to rock'n roll
Rock'n roll
Watching him run
I've got the feeling that he's already lost in the life
So i'm making it on my own like a rock'n roll widow
Get my news from the rolling stone, wake by the telephone
Wonder if he's alone
Or is my man on a permanent loan to rock'n roll
To rock'n roll

21. _ Break Through The Barrier
(a. cymone, g. cole)
Producer: andre cymone
Albums: days of thunder soundtrack
Look for empty roads to travel
And grab some peace of mind
When my life seems to unravel
Strength from you i'll find
Like the ocean and the sunshine
I'll keep trying till you're all mine
Till the moment is right
I won't give up the fight
I'll keep pushing till i break through the barrier
Like a phoenix arises
Ain't no mountain too high
I'll keep pushing till i break through the barrier
Like the eyes of total strangers
Our future is unknown
In a world of hidden danger
Don't want to be all alone
Like a rainbow and the starlight
I'll keep holding on till you're mine
Till the moment is right
I won't give up the fight
I'll keep pushing till i break through the barrier
Like a phoenix arises
Ain't no mountain too high
I'll keep pushing till i break through the barrier
When it seems that odds are all against you
Gotta reach inside and find the strength to pull you through
It's not enough to love each other, baby
To make it right is gonna take some time
If i could only break through your barrier

22. _ Crazy In The Night
(g. porter)
Producer: dennis kirk and basil poledouris
Album: summer lovers soundtrack (82)
Somewhere out in the galaxy
A number's up but not for me
There's a light inside the window
And the curtain's coming down
Pig is on the spit and turning round
Going crazy in the night
Crazy in the night
Dropped in from munich with a master plan
Guess he left his wife and kids at home
He's got so much money rollin
From the crimes he'll commit
But the siamese cats are gonna take a little bit
Going crazy in the night
Crazy in the night
Will i turn and run or do i stand and face the gun...oh
Going crazy in the night
Everybody seemed to've lost their way
Crazy in the night
Seems there's no way outta here
Do i turn and run....no!
Got no hands but i've got my head
I've come so far from the temple
Maybe this is babylon or maybe it's a dream
If it weren't so beautiful, it would be obscene
Drinking with the panthers, dancing for their life
God, this place is hungry
Come and see the players but don't stay for the show
The cats are out tonight, hungry for their rites
Going crazy in the night
Crazy in the night
Will i turn and run or do i stand and face the gun
Going crazy in the night
Everybody seemed to've lost their way
Crazy in the night
Seems there's no way outta here
Will i turn and run...no
Got no hands but i've got my head
I've come so far from the temple
Maybe this is babylon or maybe its a dream
If it weren't so beautiful

23. _ Take Me To The River
(a. green, m. hodges)
Producer: martyn ware
Album: non-album track
B-side of the us "break every rule" single
B-side of the dutch "girls" single
Wash me!
I don't know why i love you like i do
With all the changes i keep going through
Lost all my money and my happiness
And i haven't had the worst of it yet
I wanna know, tell me, tell me why
I love it still
Take me to the river
Wash me down
Yeah, drop me in the water
Back to my fishing ground
And i don't know why they treat me so bad
Think of all the good things that i've never had
Love is an ocean i won't forget
My sweet sixteen i will never regret
I wanna know, won't you tell me, tell me why
I love it still
C'mon, river
Wet me down
Yeah, dip me in the water
Back to my fishing ground
And hold me, squeeze me
Just love me, and tease me
Till i can't, till i can't
Take it no more
I don't know why you treat me so bad
Think of all the good things that i've never had
Love's an ocean i won't forget
My sweet sixteen i will never regret
I wanna know, you tell me, tell me why
I love it still
Take me to the river
And dip me in the water
Take me to the river
Drop me in the water
Take me to the river
Drop me in the water
Yeah take me to the water
My fishing ground
Wash me, wet me
Squeeze me, and tease me
Washing me down

24. _ Ball Of Confusion (that's What The World Is Today)
(b. strong/n. whitfield)
Producer: martyn ware and greg walsh
Album: the collected recordings (94)
People moving out,
People moving in,
Why, because of the color of their skin,
Run, run, run, but you just can't hide.
An eye for an eye,
Tooth for a tooth,
Vote for me and i'll set you free,
Rap on, brother, rap on.
Well, the only person talking about loving thy brother is the preacher,
And it seems nobody's interested in learning, but the teacher,
Segregation, demonstration, intergration, determination, aggravation, humiliation,
Obligation to our nation.
Ball of confusion,
That's what the world is today, hey.
The sale of pills is at an all time high,
Young folks walk with their heads in the sky,
The cities aflame in the summertime,
And oh the beat goes on.
Evolution, revolution, gun control, sound of soul-shooting rockets to the moon,
Kids growing up too soon,
Politicians say, "more taxes will solve everything,"
The band played on.
So, round and around and around we go,
Where the world's headed, nobody knows
Oh, great googamooga,
Can't you hear me talking to you,
Just a ball of confusion,
That's what the world is today, hey.
Fear in the air, tension everywhere,
Unemployment rising fast,
The beatles new record's a gas,
And the only safe place to live,
Is on an indian reservation,
The band played on.
Eve of destruction, tax deduction,
City inspectors, bill collectors, mod clothes in demand,
Population out of hand, suicide, too many bills,
Hippies moving to the hills,
People all over the world are shouting, "end the war!",
And the band played on.
Great googamooga,
Can't you hear me talking to you,
Just a ball of confusion,
That's what the world is today, yea-yea,
Just a ball of confusion,
Tell ya that's what the world is today, yea-yea,
Just a ball of confusion, oh!
