Running Scared
by
Roy Orbison

Just runnin' scared, each place we go,
So afraid that he might show.
Yeah, runnin' scared, what would I do,
If he came back and wanted you?

Just runnin' scared, feelin' low,
Runnin' scared, you love him so.
Just runnin' scared, afraid to lose,
If he came back which one would you choose?

Then all at once he was standing there,
So sure of himself, his head in the air,
My heart was breaking, which one would it be?
You turned around and walked away with me!

Running Scared
by
Tony Liar

Just runnin' scared, wild-eyed with woe,
So afraid, the truth may show;
Ah runnin' scared, can I face the shame?
I took hush-hush cash, for Peerage names.

Just runnin' scared, will I go down?
It wasn't me, blame Gordon Brown!
Just runnin' scared, I feel abused,
If I should lie, who can I accuse?

One day a knock came heavy on our door,
It was the hand of our feeble English law,
My head was achin', which one would it be?
They turned around and took away Cherie!

Another year over
And a new one just begun

The near and the dear one
The old and the young

A very Merry Xmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

For weak and for strong
For rich and the poor ones
The world is so wrong
And so happy Xmas
For black and for white
For yellow and red ones

HAPPY XMAS (AND SO TO WAR)

("Yo-ho-ho! Happy day-off Tony!"
"Have a happy one too, George")

So this is Xmas
And what have we done?
We got hothead Saddam,
To name only one.
So let us be joyous
And join hand in hand
To root out Bin Laden,
As soon as we can.

A very Merry Xmas
And a Happy New fear
Iran, North Korea,
We'll get you next year.

And so this is Xmas
A Christian Feast,
Forget that upheaval
In the Middle East;
And so happy Xmas
The payoff's now nigh,
For the axis of evil,
Though thousands may die.

A very Merry Xmas
And a Happy New fear,
Iran, North Korea,
We'll get you next year.

And so this is Xmas
And what have we done?
We've ended oppression,
A thousand hearts won.
And so happy Xmas,
Enjoy every hour,
And be very grateful
We're here and in power.

A very Merry Xmas
And a happy New fear,
Iran, North Korea,
We'll get you next year.

Worship US, worship UK,
Worship US now.

Have fun today, troops!

Still gets in my eyes
Nobody believes what you say
Its just your jive talkin'
That gets in the way

Oh my love
You're so good
Treating me so cruel
There you go
With your fancy lies
Leavin me lookin
Like a dumbstruck fool
With all your

TALKIN' JIVE
by
"Yo Tone" Bliar

You say I'm freeloadin'?
You talkin' jive!
Me an' Cherie
Like livin' our lives,
Eat out in style,
We just lay in the sun,
In Bee Gee Robin's villa,
- The guy is such fun!

Yes, you'll
Never know
Just what it really cost,
Jugglin' jumbo-jet
Voyages to Miami,
I'll very likely see a loss!

Don't talk of scroungin',
It ain't my bag,
I like good green livin'
- Just like Johnny Two-Jags;
You should never ever,
Believe all those lies,
- I ain't too greedy,
You just talkin' jive!

You, you, you'll never know,
The guilt that I go thru,
Yes I'd easily donate
My full holiday rate
Yet my host just won't let me
(I don't like to refuse);
I don't like...

Free livin'
You just talkin' trash,
Me an' Cherie
Just value our cash,
Okay, I'm star-struck
That I won't deny
But I ain't very greedy,
You just talkin' jive!

Easy joyridin'
Is what they'll say,
I guess they're jealous
'bout every global holiday,
Yes, it ain't easy
To juggle my time,
But I go anyway,
To save me a dime

Yo, joy-killer!
You killing my glee
No talkin' jive,
Or no knighthood you'll see!
Don't go dissin'
My lovely, lovely Cherie,
See, the lady's more than
A woman to me!

Joy! Livin' like royalty
Without a holiday bill!
(As Saddam Hussein
In jail was killed)
Hey you!
No more jive talkin',
Jive talkin' at me!
Viva Tony!
Viva Cherie!
