PHIL MANCA'S DANCING SPIRITS - LYRICS


CRYING FOR FREEDOM (Arguello/Manca ©Tremolo Editions Productions)

People are marching in the street
Gathering force all around the world
We start to hear the sound of power
If no one else is taking the action we will
 
Stomping feet all across the city
Solidarity is unity
Don’t be afraid to roll the dice
Though it could mean loosing everything
Everything is all lost there is no turning back
 
Crying for freedom
Everybody shout
 
People are chanting in the streets
Fighting for rights all around the world
A wind of change that sounds like thunder
You already had your future then so should we
 
Stomping feet all across the city
Solidarity is unity
Don’t be afraid to roll the dice
Though it could mean loosing everything
Everything is all lost there is no turning back
 
Crying for freedom
Everybody shout
 
People are marching in the street - For their rights
 
Ah - Stomping feet all across the city
Solidarity is unity
Don’t be afraid to roll the dice
Though it could mean loosing everything
Everything is all lost there is no turning back
 
Crying for freedom
Everybody shout
 

DANCING SPIRITS (Arguello/Manca ©Tremolo Editions Productions)

They’re coming downtown
 
Live on live on
They’re by your side
Live on live on
Don’t fight
 
You can feel them breathing in your neck
Dancing spirits all around your head
 
Oh cold breeze in your back
And tightness in your chest
You will start to suffocate
Oh shadows in the night
Crossing the veil of death
They’re coming downtown
 
Live on live on
They’re by your side
Live on live on
Don’t fight
 
At the same time
Flickering lights
Don’t fight
 
When Theresa’s walkin in the room
No need waiting to be the full moon
 
Oh cold breeze in your back
Feel the tightness in your chest
You will start to suffocate
Oh shadows in the night
Crossing the veil of death
 
I hear this buzzing in my ear
The song is on repeat
It’s a soul it’s a sign
You’re my spirit guide
Let the music play
 
They’re coming downtown
At the same time
Flickering lights
Don’t fight

TALIA (Arguello/Manca ©Tremolo Editions Productions)

Oh my sleeping beauty
Time to wake and not to be scared
You gotta fight back you pretty soul
It’s time to not go by the rules
 
Oh my sleeping beauty
What have they done to you?
Time to wake now, don’t comb your hair
The flames are rising in the air
 
The sun, the moon, Talia, and the fool
 
Don’t trust in fairy tales, they’re full of lies, believe in you
New chapter of your life
Happy ever after
Happy ever after
 
Oh my sleeping beauty
What have they done to you?
He who has luck may go to bed
And bliss will rain upon his head
 
The sun, the moon, Talia, and the fool
 
Don’t trust in fairy tales, they’re full of lies, believe in you
New chapter of your life, time to open a new book
Oh little girl of mine, it’s time to dry your eyes
It’s time to change the minds
Happy ever after

BETTY BLUE (Arguello/Manca ©Tremolo Editions Productions)

Betty Blue never cheats on you
Betty Blue let me look at you
Pure as crystal you are oh my Betty blue
Life can be too hard for you 
You love me more than life itself
 
Betty Blue never cheats on me
Betty Blue what happened to you
Pain is not the only answer oh my Betty Blue
When breathing is too hard for you
I love you more than life itself
 
I’m begging you tonight
That it won’t be the last
I want to hear you laugh
Till the sun rise up and burn in the sky
Burn in your eyes
 
I’m begging you tonight
That it won’t be the last
I want to hear you laugh
Till the sun rise up and burn in your eyes
 
Betty Blue never cheats on you
Betty Blue never cheats on me
You love me more than life itself
You love me more I love you more than life itself

SEA OF STONE (Arguello/Manca ©Tremolo Editions Productions)

There is no time for discussion anymore
The end is near no time to watch TV no more
How do you think we’ll come out of this this time?
You sleep at night meanwhile outside the wolves all cry 
 
You think you will grow old
But what about your child 
 
The clock is always right on time
Always on time to say goodbye 
Always right on time
 
I climb a mountain but a mountain of lies
And you will never look down
Your eyes will crack just like the tip of the ice
Melting our hopes around
 
Oh it’s too late
I’m drowning in a sea of st
one
Oh it’s too late
I’m drowning in a sea of stone
Is it too late?
Time to realize
How to come out of this this time? Do it!
 
There is no time for discussion anymore
The end is now no time to watch TV once more
How do you think we’ll come out of this on time?
You sleep at night meanwhile outside it’s all on fire 
 
You think you will grow old
But what about your child 
 
The clock is always right on time
Always on time to say goodbye 
Always right on time
 
I climb a mountain but a mountain of lies
And you will never look down
Your eyes will crack just like the tip of the ice
Until you realize
 
Oh it’s too late
I’m drowning in a sea of stone
Oh it’s too late
I’m drowning in a sea of stone
Is it too late?
It’s time to realize

MASK OF SNOW (Arguello/Manca ©Tremolo Editions Productions)

Behind the mask you will never know
Who hides behind the curtain of snow
Step back let me look into your eyes
So the real you will soon come alive
 
Why do you go on with those lies?
So ugly that you have to hide
 
The mask of ice that was so cold
Melted in a puddle of mud
A game for you
Until your head started to spin around
Welcome to the show
 
A thousand feelings behind a clown
You’ll never know what runs in her mind
Manipulated by an evil smile
I hear you laugh even when you’re down
 
When it is all about to fall 
Leaves are saying summertime goodbye
 
The mask of ice that was so cold
Melted in a puddle of mud
A game for you
‘Til your head started to spin around
Welcome to the show
 
Welcome to the show
They’re coming out
They’re coming
 
This is the ball of the great disguise
You open the dance
This is the hall of the mascarade
The Queen of the game
 
Welcome!

ALL AROUND THE WORLD/GRITTS AIN'T GROCERIES (Titus Turner © Bro'n'sis Music Inc. Arr. Phil Manca)

Well, if I don't love you baby
Grits ain't groceries, eggs ain't poultry
And Mona Lisa was a man (Now listen)

All around the world I'd rather be a fly
I'll lite on my baby n' stay with her 'till I die
With a toothpick in my hand, I'd dig a ten foot ditch
And run through the jungle fightin' lions with a switch

'Cause you know I love you, baby
Oh, you know I love you, baby
Now, if I don't love you, baby
Grits ain't groceries, eggs ain't poultry
And Mona Lisa was a man (Uh listen)

All around the world I got-a blisters on my feet
I’m tryin' to find my baby n' bring her home with me
You better run into me baby and-a be convinced
If you don't run into me, woman, you ain't got no sense

'Cause you know I love you, baby
Yeah, you know I love you, baby
Well, if I don't love you, baby
Grits ain't groceries, eggs ain't poultry
And Mona Lisa was a man (No she wasn’t - Oh)

All around the world, I never will forget
Lost all my money, my woman and my pet
But I’ve got to have you baby, settle for nothin' less
Give up all my goodtime girls and stay for happiness

'Cause you know I love you, baby
Yeah, you know I love you, baby
Well, if I don't love you, baby
Grits ain't groceries, eggs ain't poultry
And Mona Lisa was a man (No she wasn’t – Hit me)

GOT TO NO (Arguello/Manca ©Tremolo Editions Productions)

Ain’t got no hero
And ain’t got no fame
Ain’t got the feeling what I do is bad
And ain’t got no shame
I’m lookin in the mirror
Still can see my face
 
Never actin like a bastard
I can sware or I don’t remember
I never use shoeshine
To get what I need
 
I ain’t got no remorse at all
Yeah I never gave much ups and downs
Never ask where you’re coming from
But you never have to wonder
How much I love you
You’ve got to know
 
Ain’t got no doubt
And I’m truly sane
And all the feelings that I’ve got for you
You don’t feel the same
As I am looking backward
I’m still in the race
 
Trying to be deaf to the scumbags
Even if I do not have a choice
I walk along this line
Someone’s drawn for me
 
I ain’t got no remorse at all
Yeah I never gave much ups and downs
Never ask where you’re coming from
But you never have to wonder
How much I love you
You’ve got to know
 
You’ve got to know
 
I ain’t got no remorse at all
Yeah I never gave much ups and downs
Never ask where you’re coming from
But you never have to wonder
How much I love you

MOTORHEAD BABY (Mario Delagarde-John Watson © Fort Knox Music-Trio Music Co-Jowat Music-Vrijon Music)

Got a Motorhead baby
Wanna ride all night long
Yeah  Motorhead baby
Wanna ride all night long
You ain’t got transportation
Yeah she’ll treat you wrong
 
Well she rides all night
She rides all day
She rides with your partner ‘s long as everything’s okay
 
Motorhead baby
Wanna ride all night long
You ain’t got transportation
Yeah she’ll treat you wrong
 
Well she rides in a Cadillac
In a Buick with a smile
A Ford or a Chevy but a 52 style


Motorhead baby
Wanna ride all night long
You ain’t got transportation
Yeah she’ll treat you wrong
 
Well I take my baby ride
Ride up in the hills
She like the floating power the Cadillac make you feel
 
Motorhead baby
Wanna ride all night long
If you ain’t got transportation
Yeah she’ll put you down
Yeah - Allright - Let’s  ride – Go!
Ride on!

I was driving down the highway
Doing bout one o three
She said « Step on the gas stop teasing me! »
If you drive my baby slow
That’s the kind of stuff she hates
She's heard about the speed of the Rocket 98
 
Motorhead baby
Wanna ride all night long
If you ain’t got transportation
Yeah, she'll treat you wrong
If you ain’t got transportation
Boy, she'll treat you wrong - I warn you!
No transportation
This girl will put you down
