In the thunder and rain
You stare into my eyes
I can feel your hand Bridge:
Movin' up my thighs I don't wanna stop just
Skirt around my waist because
Wall against my face People walkin' by are
I can feel your lips watchin' us
Oooh I don't give a damn what
they think
I want you now
I don't wanna stop just
 Chorus:
Any time
And any place Dancin on the floor
I don't care who's around Feelin the slow groove
Mmmm My mind is startin to
Any time burn
And any place With forbidden thoughts
I don't care who's around Strangers all around
Nonononono With the lights down low
Weeoooh-hoo I was thinkin' maybe we
Ooooooohooo could
Hoohoo Well...you know

 GOSPEL MUSIC

Peace, Be Still
By: James Cleaveland
Master, the tempest is
raging
The billows are tossing high
The sky is o'er shadowed
with blackness
No shelter or help is nigh The winds and the waves
Carest Thou not that we shall obey my will, peace be
perish? still
How canst Thou lie asleep Whether the wrath of the
When each moment so storm-tossed sea
madly is threatening Or demons or men or
A grave in the angry deep? whatever it be
The Master of ocean and
earth and skies
They shall sweetly obey
my will
Peace be still, peace be The depths of my sad
still heart are troubled
They all shall sweetly Oh, waken and save, I
obey my will, peace, peace pray
be still
Torrents of sin and of
Master, with anguish of anguish
spirit Sweep o'er my sinking
 Signs
By: The 5 Man Electrical Band
Lyrics as recorded by The 5 Man Electrical Band in 1971 and
included on the 1990 compilation album ”Made in Canada”

RAPPING
And the sign said "Long-haired freaky people need
not apply"
So I tucked my hair up under my hat and I went in
to ask him why
He said "You look like a fine upstanding young
man, I think you'll do"
So I took off my hat, I said "Imagine that. Huh! Me
workin' for you!"
Whoa-oh-oh
Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind
And the sign said anybody caught trespassin' would
be shot on sight
So I jumped on the fence and-a yelled at the house
"Hey! What gives you the right?"
"To put up a fence to keep me out or to keep mother
nature in"
"If God was here he'd tell you to your face, man,
you're some kinda sinner"
Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?
