Midnight Oil: Beds are burning:1987: Lyrics and Video

“Out where the river broke
The blood-wood and the desert oak
Holden wrecks and boiling diesels
Steam in forty five degrees

The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent
To pay our share
The time has come
A fact's a fact
It belongs to them
Let's give it back

How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning
How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning

The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent, now
To pay our share

Four wheels scare the cockatoos
From Kintore East to Yuendemu
The western desert lives and breathes
In forty five degrees

The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent
To pay our share
The time has come
A fact's a fact
It belongs to them
Let's give it back

How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning
How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning

The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent, now
To pay our share
The time has come
A fact's a fact
It belongs to them
We gonna give it back

How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning.”

You guys are posting such good music!

I really enjoyed Little Red Rooster. Imagine, Mick is now 70! Must be the music that keeps him young.

"Forever young, I want to be forever young!"

I agree, music is a formulae that keeps you young at heart.

The Buggles: Video killed the radio star: 1979: Lyrics and Video


I suppose ‘Video did kill the radio star!’

“I heard you on the wireless back in '52
Lying awake intently tuning in on you
If I was young it didn't stop you coming through
(Oh-a-oh)

They took the credit for your second symphony
Rewritten by machine on new technology
And now I understand the problems you can see

(Oh-a-oh)
I met your children
(Oh-a-oh)
What did you tell them?

Video killed the radio star video killed the radio star
Pictures came and broke your heart
(Oh-a-a-a oh)

And now we meet in an abandoned studio
We hear the playback and it seems so long ago
And you remember the jingles used to go:

(Oh-a-oh)
You were the first one
(Oh-a-oh)
You were the last one

Video killed the radio star video killed the radio star
In my mind and in my car
We can't rewind, we've gone too far


(Video killed the radio star video killed the radio star)
In my mind and in my car
We can't rewind, we've gone too far
Pictures came and broke your heart
Put the blame on VTR...

(You are the radio star you are the radio star video killed the radio star video killed the radio star video killed the radio star video killed the radio star)
You are the radio star
(Video killed the radio star video killed the radio star)
You are the radio star
(Video killed the radio star video killed the radio star)
You are the radio star
(Video killed the radio star video killed the radio star)
You are the radio star

(Oh-a-oh, oh-a-oh)”

Maurice Williams & the Zodiacs: Stay: 1960: Lyrics and movie clip: Dirty Dancing

“(Stay)
A-a-a-a-ah, just a little bit longer
(Please)
Please, please, please, please
Tell me you're going to

Now, how your daddy don't mind
And your mommy don't mind
If we have another dance
Yeah, just one more
One more time

Oh, won't you stay
Just a little bit longer
Please let me hear
You say that you will
Say you will

Won't you press your sweet lips
To mine
Won't you say you love me
All of the time

(Stay)
Just a little bit longer
(Please)
Please, please, please, please
Tell me you're going to

Come on, come on, come on and ... yey-yey-yeh
Come on, come on, come on and stay-yey-yey-yeh
Come on, come on, come on and stay, woops!
Come on, come on, come on.”

I suppose ‘Video did kill the radio star!’

Indeed!

And the song's place in history was ultimately assured when it was the first music video played on MTV.
Yes - the very first.

MTV knew from the outset the writing was on the wall.

Bill Medley & Jennifer Warnes: Time of my life:1987: Lyrics and movie clip from Dirty Dancing

“Now I've had the time of my life
No I never felt like this before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
'Cause I've had the time of my life
And I owe it all to you

I've been waiting for so long
Now I've finally found someone
To stand by me
We saw the writing on the wall
As we felt this magical
Fantasy

Now with passion in our eyes
There's no way we could disguise it
Secretly
So we take each other's hand
'Cause we seem to understand
The urgency
Just remember

You're the one thing
I can't get enough of
So I'll tell you something
This could be love because

I've had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you

Hey, baby

With my body and soul
I want you more than you'll ever know
So we'll just let it go
Don't be afraid to lose control, no
Yes I know what's on your mind
When you say, "Stay with me tonight"
Just remember

You're the one thing
I can't get enough of
So I'll tell you something
This could be love because

I've had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you


But I've had the time of my life
And I've searched through every open door
Till I found the truth
And I owe it all to you


Now I've had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you

I've had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you

'Couse I've had the time of my life
And I've searched through every open door
Till I found the truth
And I owe it all to you.”

Chuck Berry: Teenage Wedding: You can never tell: 1964


“It was a teenage wedding, and the old folks wished 'em well

You could see that Pierre did truly love the mademoiselle
And now the young monsieur and madame have rung the chapel bell
"C'est la vie," say the old folks, "It goes to show you never can tell"





They furnished off an apartment with a two room Roebuck sale

The coolerator was crammed with TV dinners and ginger ale
But when Pierre found work, the little money comin' worked out well
"C'est la vie," say the old folks, "It goes to show you never can tell"


They had a hi-fi phono, boy, did they let it blast

Seven hundred little records, all blues, rock, rhythm and jazz
But when the sun went down, the volume went down as well "C'est la vie," say the old folks, "It goes to show you never can tell"


They bought a souped up jitney, 'twas a cherry red '53

They drove it down to New Orleans to celebrate their anniversary
It was there that Pierre was wedded to the lovely mademoiselle
"C'est la vie," say the old folks, "It goes to show you never can tell"


They had a teenage wedding, and the old folks wished them well

You could see that Pierre did truly love the mademoiselle
And now the young monsieur and madame have rung the chapel bell
"C'est la vie," say the old folks, "It goes to show you never can tell" “

Starship: Nothing gonna stop us now: 1987: Lyrics and Video

“Looking' in your eyes i see a paradise
this world that I’ve found is too good to be true
standing' here beside ya, want so much to give you
this love in my heart that I’m feeling' for you
Let 'em say we're crazy, I don't care about that
put your hand in my hand, baby, don't ever look back
let the world around us just fall apart
baby, we can make it if we're heart-to-heart
And we can build this dream together
standing strong forever
nothing's gonna stop us now
and if this world runs out of lovers
we'll still have each other
nothing's gonna stop us, nothing's gonna stop us now, whoa no
I'm so glad I found you, I’m not gonna lose you
whatever it takes, I will stay here with you
take you to the good times, see you through the bad times
whatever it takes is what I’m gonna do
Let 'em say we're crazy, what do they know?
put your arms around me, baby, don't ever let go
let the world around us just fall apart
baby, we can make it if we're heart-to-heart
And we can build this dream together
standing strong forever
nothing's gonna stop us now
and if this world runs out of lovers
we'll still have each other
nothing's gonna stop us, nothing's gonna stop us, ooh
All that I need is you
all that I ever need
all that I want to do
is hold you forever, forever and ever


And we can build this dream together
standing strong forever
nothing's gonna stop us now
and if this world runs out of lovers
we'll still have each other
nothing's gonna stop us, nothing's gonna stop us
Build this dream together
standing strong forever
nothing's gonna stop us now
and if this world runs out of lovers
we'll still have each other
nothing's gonna stop us now
And we can build this dream together
standing strong forever
nothing's gonna stop us now
and if this world runs out of lovers
we'll still have each other
nothing's gonna stop us, nothing's gonna stop us.”

Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes: Up where we belong: 1982: Lyrics and Video

“Who knows what tomorrow brings
In a world, few hearts survive
All I know is the way I feel
When it's real, I keep it alive

The road is long, there are mountains in our way
But we climb a step every day

Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry, on a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world below, up where the clear wind blow

Some hang on to "used to be"
Live their lives, looking behind
All we have is here and now
All our life, out there to find

The road is long, there are mountains in our way
But we climb them a step every day

Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry, on a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world below, up where the clear winds blow

Time goes by
No time to cry
Life's you and I
Alive today

Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry, on a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world below, up where the clear winds blow.”

Johnny Cash

Ring of Fire

Love is a burning thing
And it makes a fiery ring
Bound by wild desire
I fell into a ring of fire
I fell into a burning ring of fire
I went down, down, down and the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns, the ring of fire
The ring of fire
I fell into a burning ring of fire
I went down, down, down and the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns, the ring of fire
The ring of fire
The taste of love is sweet
When hearts like ours meet
I fell for you like a child
Oh, but the fire went wild
I fell into a burning ring of fire
I went down, down, down and the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns, the ring of fire
The ring of fire
I fell into a burning ring of fire
I went down, down, down and the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns, the ring of fire
The ring of fire
And it burns, burns, burns, the ring of fire
The ring of fire
The ring of fire
The ring of fire
