"Allahu Allahu"

"Allahu Allahu"


"Everything in the heavens and the earth has been created by Allah, He is Al Khaliq, the Creator"

"If you look around you can see the beauty of what Allah has created, sometimes you can hear the wind and the waves praising Allah. Can you hear them?"

Allah Allah, Allah Allah...

Atayna kafee sabriyat-al ghina
Wa anta ladhee lam tazal muhsinaa
Itha kunta fee kulli haalima'ee
Fa'an hamli hamee ana fee ghina

Allah Allah, Allah Allah...

Wa 'awatana qula fadlin 'asaa
Yadu mullathi min ka'aw-atanaa
Itha kunta fee kulli haalima'ee
Fa'an hamli hamee ana fee ghina

Allah Allah, Allah Allah...

"Angel Of War"

"Angel Of War"


O Angel of War! What am I fighting for?
If death comes tomorrow inform me before, inform me before

O Young Soldier Boy! I'll tell you what I know
If peace is your wish, to battle you must go, to battle you must go

O Angel of War! Please make it clear to me
Which is my side, and who is my enemy? and who is my enemy?

O Young Soldier Boy! The world is open wide
So look to wherever, the truth is forced to hide, the truth is forced to hide

O Angel of War! Within myself I see
Battle has started, what will become of me? what will become of me?

O Young Soldier Boy! You're Wiser than you seem
Look into your heart, and keep your motives clean, and keep your motives clean

O Angel of War! What weapons do I need?
Lest I may perish, that I may succeed, that I may succeed

O Young Soldier Boy! If you protect the poor
Let truth be your armour, and justice be your sword, and justice be your sword

O Angel of War! What makes me want to fight?
I sometimes feel hatred, is it wrong or right? is it wrong or right?

O Young Soldier Boy! The war you wage
If it's for your ego, it will die in rage, it will die in rage

O Angel of War! How can I tell for sure
Pride's not its reason that I'm fighting for, that I'm fighting for

O Young Soldier Boy! That's something I can't tell
God knows you reason and you should know as well, and you should know as well

O Angel of War! When I look at me
I'm fearful to confess, the enemy I see, the enemy I see

O Young Soldier Boy! Now you can go your war
I'll see you tomorrow, a boy you'll be no more, a boy you'll be no more

"Angelsea"

"Angelsea"


She moves like and angel
And seven evening stars
Dance through the window
Of her universal house
He voice a crystal echo
Lies humming in your soul
So patiently awaiting
For your ears to behold
She ripples on the water
Leaves diamonds on the shore
And fish from every distance
Watch her ocean cellar door
Her breath a warm fire
In every lovers heart
A mistress to magicians
And a dancer to the gods
And a dancer to the gods
Her clothes are made of rainbows
And twenty thousand tears
Shine through the spaces
Of her golden ochre hair
Ooh my babe I want you
and on my life I swear
My conscience will I follow you forever
If you meet me everywhere
Yes if you if you meet me everywhere

"Another Saturday Night"

"Another Saturday Night"


Another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody
I've got some money 'cause I just got paid
Now, how I wish I had someone to talk to
I'm in an awful way

I got in town a month ago
I seen a lot of girls since then
If I could meet 'em I could get 'em
But as yet I haven't met 'em
That's how I'm in the state I'm in

Oh,
Another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody
I've got some money 'cause I just got paid
Now, how I wish I had someone to talk to
I'm in an awful way

Another fella told me
He had a sister who looked just fine
Instead of bein' my deliv'rance
She had a strange resemblance
To a cat named Frankenstein

Ooh, la,
Another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody
I've got some money 'cause I just got paid
Now, how I wish I had someone to talk to
I'm in an awful way

It's hard on a fella
When he don't know his way around
If I don't find me a honey
To help me spend my money
I'm gonna have to blow this town

Oh, no
Another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody
I've got some money 'cause I just got paid
Now, how I wish I had someone to talk to
I'm in an awful way

"Baby Get Your Head Screwed On"


Well if you're feelin' low, take it slow
Baby get your head screwed on
I know he's left, but don't be depressed
Baby let your {favorite?} daddy see you through
Oh baby you'll be out of your mind,
Baby you'll be out of your mind,
Baby you'll be out of your mind.
You know you're nice, you're sugar and spice
And I know what you're going through
And if you're hot HOT, and even if you're not
Baby let your {favorite?} daddy see you through
Oh baby you'll be out of your mind,
Baby you'll be out of your mind,
Baby you'll be out of your mind.
You were so neat, ever so sweet,
And overnight you've seemed to change
Since you kissed your psychiatrist
Baby, you've never been the same.
Well if you're feelin' low, take it slow
Baby get your head screwed on
I know he's left, but don't be depressed
Baby let your {favorite?} daddy see you through
Oh baby you'll be out of your mind,
Baby you'll be out of your mind,
Baby you'll be out of your mind.

"Bad Brakes"

"Bad Brakes"


Bad brakes whole car shakes
Looks like I'm heading for a breakdown
Black smoke engine beginning to choke
I must be heading for a breakdown
I pulled up for a mouth of coca-cola
Down at Samuel's cafe
Saw a little spanish lady coming over
Said "lady are you going my way" she said "o-lay"
Bad brakes carburettor shakes
Looks like you're heading for a breakdown
Black smoke engine beginning to choke
We must be heading for a breakdown
We hit the road at 90 miles an hour
Heading for 'Frisco Bay
She said "Senor you got cop on your shoulder"
I said "oh now we'd better not stay
We got to get away with our
Bad brakes carburettor shakes
Looks like we're heading for a breakdown"
He was catching up nose right inside our mirror
When the motor blowed
We climbed out and she began to shiver
Oh no sir please let us go
He said "don't you know you got
Bad brakes carburettor shakes
Looks like you bought yourself a breakdown
Black smoke engine beginning to choke
And you've got yourself a breakdown"
Bad brakes engine beginning to shake
Looks like we've got ourselves a breakdown
Black smoke engine beginning to choke
We got ourselves a breakdown

Banapple gas, oh Banapple gas
Everybody's sniffing it Banapple gas
O-o alas!
All the world is stuck on it Banapple gas.
Does it do you good, make you better

What kind of strange spice makes it right?
Well I don't know what kind of spice
But it must be healthy 'cause it's sterilized.

"Teacher! Teacher! Me! Me... Bismillah!"

"Very good. Now what does it mean? Bismillah"

"In the name of Allah! Bismillah"

When we're full, we say Alhamdullillah
When we're full, we say Alhamdullillah

Water, juice and milk, these I think
Are so delicious for me to drink
Water, juice and milk, these we think

And in the morning we do the same

When we rise we say Alhamdullillah
When we rise we say Alhamdullillah

"Bitterblue"

"Bitterblue"


I gave my last chance to you
Don't hand it back to me bitterblue
No bitterblue
Yes, I've done all one man can do
Don't pass me up oh bitterblue
My bitterblue
Cause I've been running a long time
On this travelling ground
Wishing hard to be free
Of going round and round
Yes I've been moving a long time
But only up and down
I gave my last hope to you
Don't hand it back to me bitterblue
My bitterblue
I've done all one man can do
Please help me lose this bitterblue
My bitterblue
Cause I've been waiting a long time
Aeons been and gone -
Looking at the horizon
For my light to dawn
Oh yes I've been living a long time
Looking on and on
I've been running a long time
Summers come and gone -
Drifting under the dream clouds
Past the broken sun -
Yes I've been living a long time
To be back beyond
I gave my lst chance to you
Don't hand it back bitterblue
My bitterblue
I've done all one man can do
Don't pass me up oh bitterblue
My bitterblue, bitterblue
I gave my last chance to you
Don't hand it back to me bitterblue
