THE KID I'm the kid who ran away with the circus Now I'm watering elephants, But I sometimes lie awake in the sawdust Dreaming I'm in a suit of light, Late at night in the empty big top I'm all alone on the high wire, Look he’s working without a net this time He's a real death defier I'm the kid who always looked out the window Failing tests in geography, But I have seen things far beyond just the schoolyard Distant shores of exotic lands, There are the spires of the Turkish empire Six months since we made landfall, Riding low with the spices of India Through Gibralter, we're rich men all I'm the kid who thought we'd someday be lovers Always held out that time would tell, Time was talking Guess I just wasn't listening No surprise, if you know me well; As we're walking down toward the train station I hear a whispering rainfall, Across the boulevard, you slip your hand in mine In the distance the train's last call… I'm the kid who has this habit of dreaming That sometimes gets me in trouble too, But the truth is, I could no more stop dreaming… Than I could make them all come true 2. IF I HAD A HAMMER If I had a hammer, I’d hammer in the morning I’d hammer in the evening all over this land I’d hammer out danger, I’d hammer out a warning, I’d hammer out the love between my brothers and my sisters All over this la-a-a-and, Ooooooooo If I had a bell, I’d ring it in the morning I’d ring it in the evening all over this land, I’d ring out danger, I’d ring out warning, I’d ring out the love between my brothers and my sisters All over this la-a-a-and, Ooooooooo If I had a song, I’d sing it in the morning, I’d sing it in the evening all over this land, I’d sing out danger, I’d sing out warning, I’d sing out the love between my brothers & my sisters All over this la-a-a-and, Ooooooooo Well I got a hammer and I got a bell And I got a song to sing all over this land, It’s the hammer of justice; it’s the bell of freedom It’s the song about love between my brothers & my sisters All over this la-a-a-and, Ooooooooo 3. TAKE MY HEART (Michael McGinnis) Take my heart, and let it fly, Over the ocean deep and the mountains high, Give it wings, and set it free ‘Till it comes to rest by Galilee Chorus: And let me walk beside still waters, And lay me down in fields of green, Set my feet in the paths of righteousness Let me follow where the master leads Take my heart, and let it fly, Over the ocean deep and the mountains high, Give it wings, and let it soar, ‘Till it comes to rest on Jordon’s shore Chorus Take my heart, and let it fly, Over the ocean deep and the mountains high, Give it wings, and set it free, ‘Till it comes to rest, at last, inside of me Chorus 4. PUFF, THE MAGIC DRAGON Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Hona-Lee Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal Puff And brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff Chorus: Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Hona-Lee Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Hona-Lee Together they would travel on a boat with a billowed sail Jackie kept a lookout perched on Puff’s gigantic tail Noble kings and princes would bow whene’er they came Pirate ships would low’r their flag when Puff roared out his name Chorus A dragon lives forever, but not so little boys Painted wings and giant rings make way for other toys One grey night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more And Puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane Without his lifelong friend, Puff could not be brave So Puff that mighty dragon sadly slipped into his cave Chorus 5. THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND (Woody Guthrie) This land is your land This land is my land From California to the New York Island From the Redwood forest to the gulf stream waters This land was made for you and me As I went walking that ribbon of highway I saw above me that endless skyway I saw below me that golden valley This land was made for you and me Chorus I roamed and rambled and followed my footsteps To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts And all around me a voice was sounding This land was made for you and me Chorus The sun came shining as I was strolling And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling As the fog was lifting a voice was chanting This land was made for you and me Chorus 6. IT’S ALL GOOD (Michael McGinnis) It’s all good Some’s a little better Life works good If you loosen your grip and you let her She’s a wild horse race Everybody is a winner So come on in and get washed up for dinner Got cakes on the griddle, taters in the sack Music on the guitar, the shirt on your back Don’t let your brain give your heart attack ‘Cause it’s all good 7. ROLL ON COLUMBIA (Woody Guthrie) Roll on Columbia Roll on (2X) Your power is turning our darkness to dawn Roll on Columbia Roll on… Green Douglas firs where the water cut through Down her wild mountains and canyons she flew Candian Northwest, to the Ocean so blue Roll on Columbia Roll on… Other Great Rivers give power to you Yakima, Snak and the Klickitat too Sandy WIllamentte and Hood River too Roll on Columbia Roll on… Tom Jefferson’s vision would not let him rest An empire he saw in the Pacific Northwest Sent Lewis and Clark and they did the rest Roll on Columbia Roll on At Bonneville now there are ships in the locks The waters have risen and cleared all the rocks Shiploads of plenty will steam past her docks Roll on Columbia Roll on 8. PEACE LIKE A RIVER 1. I’ve got peace like a river, I’ve got peace like a river, I’ve got peace like a river in my soul (Repeat) 2. I’ve got joy like a fountain (x2) 3. I’ve got love like an ocean (x2) 4. I’ve got peace like a river, I’ve got joy like a fountain, love like an ocean in my soul 9. STARFISH AND COFFEE Chorus: Starfish and coffee, maple syrup and jam Butterscotch clouds, tangerines, And a side order of ham (clap! clap!) And if you set your mind free baby maybe you’d understand Starfish and coffee Maple syrup and jam 7:45 all in line to meet the teacher Miss Kathleen First came Kevin, then came Lucy, third in line was me All of us were ordinary compared to Cynthia Rose She always stood at the back of the line, a smile beneath her nose Her favorite number was twenty and every single day If you asked her what she had for breakfast this is what she’d say Chorus Cynthia wore a pretty dress with different colored socks Sometimes I wondered if the mates were in her lunchbox Lucy and I opened it when Cynthia wasn’t around Lucy cried, I almost died--You know what we found! Chorus Cynthia wore a happy face just like the one she’d draw On every wall, in every school (But that’s alright it’s for a worthy cause!) Keep singing 10. RISE AND SHINE Rise and shine and give God the glory glory (x3) Children of the Lord The Lord said Noah there’s gonna be a floody floody (X2) Get those children out of the muddy muddy Children of the Lord So Noah he built him, he built him an arky arky (x2) Made it out of hickory barky barky Children of the Lord The animals they came on, came on by twosy twosies (X2) Elephants and kangaroosy roosies Children of the Lord It rained and poured for forty daysy daysies (x2) Nearly drove those animals crazy, crazy Children of the Lord The sun came out and dried off the landy, landy (x2) Everything was fine and dandy dandy Children of the Lord The animals they came off, they came off by threesy threesies (x2) learned about the birds and beesy beesies That is the end of, the end of the story, story (x2) Everything is hunky dory, dory Children of the Lord 11.

  • Aster Marketing Thesi
    ERASMUS SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS ECONOMICS - MARKETING MASTER THESIS It's All in the Lyrics: The Predictive Power of Lyrics Date : August, 2014 Name : Maarten de Vos Student ID : 331082 Supervisor : Dr. F. Deutzmann Abstract: This research focuses on whether it is possible to determine popularity of a specific song based on its lyrics. The songs which were considered were in the US Billboard Top 40 Singles Chart between 2006 and 2011. From this point forward, k-means clustering in RapidMiner has been used to determine the content that was present in the songs. Furthermore, data from Last.FM was used to determine the popularity of a song. This resulted in the conclusion that up to a certain extent, it is possible to determine popularity of songs. This is mostly applicable to the love theme, but only in the specific niches of it.

  • Mtv and Transatlantic Cold War Music Videos
    102 MTV AND TRANSATLANTIC COLD WAR MUSIC VIDEOS WILLIAM M. KNOBLAUCH INTRODUCTION In 1986 Music Television (MTV) premiered “Peace Sells”, the latest video from American metal band Megadeth. In many ways, “Peace Sells” was a standard pro- motional video, full of lip-synching and head-banging. Yet the “Peace Sells” video had political overtones. It featured footage of protestors and police in riot gear; at one point, the camera draws back to reveal a teenager watching “Peace Sells” on MTV. His father enters the room, grabs the remote and exclaims “What is this garbage you’re watching? I want to watch the news.” He changes the channel to footage of U.S. President Ronald Reagan at the 1986 nuclear arms control summit in Reykjavik, Iceland. The son, perturbed, turns to his father, replies “this is the news,” and lips the channel back. Megadeth’s song accelerates, and the video re- turns to riot footage. The song ends by repeatedly asking, “Peace sells, but who’s buying?” It was a prescient question during a 1980s in which Cold War militarism and the nuclear arms race escalated to dangerous new highs.1 In the 1980s, MTV elevated music videos to a new cultural prominence. Of course, most music videos were not political.2 Yet, as “Peace Sells” suggests, dur- ing the 1980s—the decade of Reagan’s “Star Wars” program, the Soviet war in Afghanistan, and a robust nuclear arms race—music videos had the potential to relect political concerns. MTV’s founders, however, were so culturally conserva- tive that many were initially wary of playing African American artists; addition- ally, record labels were hesitant to put their top artists onto this new, risky chan- 1 American President Ronald Reagan had increased peace-time deicit defense spending substantially.
