Another Time, Another Place

(page)

I´m in with the "in" crowd
I go where the "in" crowd goes
I´m in with the "in" crowd
And i know what the "in" crowd knows (how to have fun!)
Any time of the year, don´t you hear? (how to have fun!)
Dressin´ fine, makin´ time
We breeze up and down the street
We get respect from people we meet
They make way day or night
They know the "in" crowd is out of sight
I´m in with the "in" crowd
I know ev´ry latest dance
When you´re in with "in" crowd
It´s easy to find romance (and we work out!)
At a spot where the beat´s really hot (and we work out!)
If it´s square we ain´t there
We make ev´ry minute count
Our share is always the biggest amount
Other guys imitate us
But the original's still the greatest
We got our own way of walkin'
We got our way of talkin´ (gotta have fun!)
Any time of the year, don´t you hear (gotta have fun!)
Spendin´ cash, talkin´ trash
Girl, i´ll show you a real good time
Come on with me and leave your troubles behind
I don´t care where you´ve been
You ain´t been nowhere till you been in with "in" crowd

(south)

If i could be you and you could be me for just one hour
If we could find a way to get inside each other's minds
If you could see you, through my eyes, instead of your ego
I believe you'd be, surprised to see, that you'd been blind

Walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes
And before you abuse
Criticise and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes

Now the whole world you see around you is just a reflection
And the law of karma, says you reap, just what you sow
So unless you've, lived a life of total perfection
You'd better be careful of every stone that you should throw

And yet we spend the day throwing stones at one another
'cause i don't think or wear my hair the same way you do
Well i may be common people but i'm your brother
And when you strike out and try to hurt me it's a-hurtin you

There are people on reservations and out in the ghettos
And brother, there but for the grace of god go you and i
If i only, had the wings, of a little angel
Don't you know i'd fly, to the top of the mountain, and then i'd cry

(turner)

I used to jump when you called
And i would cry when you leave
I had to plan every move
Just to keep you pleased
But i don't care no more
About nothing you do
Now i'm goin' shoppin'
Finger, fingerpoppin' on you
I got bags under my eyes
From losin' sleep
You gave me malnutrition
'cause i just couldn't eat
But i don't care no more
About nothin' you do, boo hoo
'cause i'm goin' shoppin'
Finger, fingerpoppin' on you
You never bought me no clothes
I had to steal what i wear
I wore shoes so long
'til my feet were bare
But i don't care no more
About nothin' you do, oh no
And i'm goin' shoppin'
Finger, fingerpoppin' on you

Go away from my window
Leave at your own chosen speed
I´m not the one you want babe
I´m not the one you need
You say you´re lookin´ for someone
Never weak, but always strong
To protect you and defend you
Whether you are right or wrong
Someone to open each and every door
But it ain´t me babe
No, no, no
It ain´t me babe
It ain´t me that you´re looking for
Go lightly from the ledge babe
Go lightly on the ground
I´m not the one you want babe
I will only let you down
You say you´re lookin´ for someone
Who will promise never to part
Someone to close his eyes for you
Someone to close his heart
Someone who will die for you and more
But it ain´t me babe
No, no, no
It ain´t me babe
It ain´t me that you´re looking for
Go melt back in to the night babe
Everything inside is made of stone
There´s nothin´ in here that´s a moving
And anyway i´m not alone
You say you´re lookin´ for someone
To pick you up each time you fall
To gather flowers constantly
And to come each time you call
A lover for your life and nothing more
But it ain´t me babe
No, no, no
It ain´t me babe
It ain´t me that you´re looking for

They ask me how i knew
My true love was true
I of course replied
"something here inside
Cannot be denied"
They said "someday you´ll find
All who love are blind"
When your heart´s on fire
You must realise
Smoke gets in your eyes
So i chaffed them and i gaily laughed
To think they could doubt my love
Yet today my love has flown away
I am without my love
Now laughing friends deride
Tears i cannot hide
So i smile and say
"when a lovely flame dies
Smoke gets in your eyes"
