WHO MADE THE RULES by Lil' Fi

ch
WHO MADE THE RULES I WANT TO BREAK ‘EM
WHO SAID I COULDN’T DO THAT
TELL ME WHO MADE THE RULES, I WANT TO SHAKE ‘EM
WHO SAID I COULDN’T DO THAT
WELL STAND ASIDE CAUSE I’M COMING THROUGH
AND I CAN SHAKE YOU SHIMMY AND HOLLAR THE BLUES
AND WHO MADE THE RULES, WHO SAID I COULDN’T DO THAT

I KNOW IT’S ALRIGHT IT’S OK TO BE ME
I JUST LOVE, LOVE BEING FREE
I DIDN’T COME ALL THIS WAY JUST TO TURN BACK
I’M A HARD WORKING WOMAN DON’T YOU CALL ME SLACK
DON’T POINT YOUR FINGER AT ME CAUSE THERE’S THREE COMING BACK
ANYWAY WHO MADE THE RULES AND WHO SAID I COULDN’T DO THAT

NOW PUT YOUR DUKES DOWN, I DON’T WANT TO FIGHT
CAUSE WHEN YOU’RE RIGHT YOU’RE RIGHT
AND WHEN YOU’RE WRONG YOU’RE RIGHT
I AM TELLING YOU NOW JUST HOW I FEEL
FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE I’M GONNA ROCK AND REEL
DANCE AND SHAKE AND BE REAL, REAL, REAL

A WOMAN’S LOVE
By Lil' Fi & Dirk Dubois

A WOMAN’S LOVE IS TENDER & IT HOLDS YOU ALL NIGHT LONG
A WOMAN’S LOVE IS GENTLE AS IT’S POWERFUL AND STRONG
A WOMAN’S LOVE IS TRUTHFUL SHE WILL TELL YOU HOW SHE FEELS
OH IT’S TRUSTING BEAUTIFUL CHALLENGING AND REAL

A WOMAN’S LOVE WILL HOLD HER BABY AND ROCK IT OFF TO SLEEP
A WOMAN’S LOVE WILL FEED HER BABY WITH LOVE IN HER HEARTBEAT
A WOMAN’S LOVE IS PRECIOUS AND IT TURNS THE WORLD AROUND
OH IT’S WILD AND FREE STANDING FIRM TWO FEET ON THE GROUND

A WOMAN’S LOVE IS LIKE A ROCK POOL YOU GOT TO KEEP IT GOOD AND CLEAR
A TREASURE CHEST WITH A BOUNTY THAT WILL LAST A MILLION YEARS
OH IT’S ANCIENT AND IT REALLY IS THE ONLY LIVING THING
A WOMAN’S LOVE IS BEAUTIFUL AND IT MAKES A POOR HEART SING

THAT’S A WOMAN’S LOVE, A WOMAN’S LOVE
THAT’S A WOMAN’S LOVE, A WOMAN’S LOVE
IF YOUR BRAVE ENOUGH AND FOOL ENOUGH TO FALL IN LOVE
WITH A WOMAN’S LOVE, A WOMAN’S LOVE

CELEBRATE THE CURVES

KARMA SUTRA MAN
By Lil' Fi

SHE’S AN OLDER KIND OF WOMAN, SHE’S GOT ONE THING ON HER MIND
BEEN AROUND THE BLOCK MORE THAN JUST A COUPLE OF TIMES
WELL SHE WALKS INTO THE BAR ROOM, AND SCANS IT TO THE GROUND
SHE WANT TO TAKE HOME A FUTURE NOT NECESSARILY SETTLE DOWN

SHE WANTS A MAN
AH YEAH A KARMA SUTRA MAN
SHE NEEDS A MAN
AH YEAH A KARMA SUTRA MAN

SHE WANTS TO TAKE HOME A FUTURE SHE’S HAD IT WITH THE PAST
SHE WANTS SOME KARMA SUTRA A MAN THAT’S GONNA LAST –
HER THROUGH THE YEARS – LOVE HER THROUGH THE TEARS
SHE DON’T WANT NO FLASH IN THE PAN, JUST A LITTLE LOVIN’ CLOSE & NEAR

SENSITIVE AND NEW AGE SO WHAT’S SHE DOIN’ HERE
THERE’S ONLY MEN WITH A MISSUS OR THOSE BLOKE WHO LIKE THEIR BEER –
TOO MUCH FOR HER LOVE – SHE DESERVES SO MUCH MORE
SHE DON’T DELUDE HERSELF AN ILLUSION, MR YES YES WALKING IN THROUGH THE DOOR

DREAMS DON’T COST HER
DREAMS DON’T COST HER
DREAMS DON’T COST HER
AND DON’T EAT OUT HER FRIDGE

WHEN IT’S TIME TO SWING
By Lil’ Fi & Dirk Dubois

I REMEMBER LOVIN, JUST CAUSE WE WANTED TO LOVE
I REMEMBER KISSIN ALL NIGHT JUST CAUSE IT WAS FUN
I REMEMBER DOIN’ THAT THING, JUST CAUSE WE WANTED THAT THING
(OH) DON’T FORGET ME BABY, WHEN IT’S TIME TO SWING

I REMEMBER LAUGHING, JUST CAUSE WE WANTED TO LAUGH
I REMEMBER DANCING ALL NIGHT JUST ‘CAUSE IT WAS FUN
I REMEMBER SINGING TOGETHER JUST CAUSE WE WANTED TO SING
(OH)DON’T FORGET ME BABY, WHEN IT’S TIME TO SWING

WE FIT SO WELL TOGETHER, JUST LIKE THE MOON AND THE STARS
WE HAVE BEEN THROUGH ALL KINDS OF WEATHER
SUNNY SKIES AND OCCASIONAL SHOWERS
OH I LOVE YOU AND YOU LOVE ME
IT’S EASY SO EASY TO SEE
DON’T FORGET ME BABY WHEN IT’S TIME TO SWING

SING US A JANIS JOPLIN SONG OR JANIS JOPLIN SONGS
Written by Lil' Fi & Dirk Dubois& Kristina Olsen
02/09/00

I DON’T SING JANIS JOPLIN SONGS
IT’S BECAUSE WE’RE TOO ALIKE
I READ A BOOK WHEN I WAS YOUNG
IT CHANGED MY LIFE
AND WE’RE BOTH CAPRICORNS

I COME FROM A SMALL TOWN
I TOOK MY BLUES BAND BACK HOME
JANIS JOPLIN BOOK UNDER MY ARM
MY FAMILY LOVED THE PUSSYCAT MOAN
I WAS GOING DOWN

**“HEY” PEOPLE WOULD SAY
“SING US A JANIS JOPLIN SONG”
YOU, YOU SOUND JUST LIKE HER
BIG BROTHER JUST COULDN’T HOLD ON
JUST LIKE BIG MAMA’S BALL AND CHAIN AROUND HER NECK
A PIECE OF HEART WAS GIVEN
AND TAKEN BY THE REST

AT THE TIME I WAS DRINKING HARD
KEEPIN’ UP WITH THE BOYS
SINGING THE BLUES AND LIVING THEM TOO
A NEARLY FATAL CHOICE
AND THEN SHE SPOKE TO ME

JANIS DIED YOUNG FOR LIVING FAST
I SAY “ NO ” I’LL DO IT MY WAY
I REAKON SHE SHOULD HAVE LIVED
(I REAKON SHE WOULD HAVE LIVED)
BUT HER LIFE TAUGHT ME TO STAY

SUMMER STORMS
By Lil' Fi

A SUMMERS DAY, THE STORM’S COMIN’ OVER
THE CLOUDS ARE HEAVY AND MY HEART IS TOO
ANOTHER MINUTE TO SIT ON THE VERANDAH AND
WATCH THE SUN SLIP AWAY

OUT ON MY OWN AN I’M FEELING SAD
DON’T KNOW WHERE TO GO BUT KNOW WHERE I HIDE
WISH I COULD TELL YOU HOW MY HEART FEELS BLUE
EVERYTIME IT WANDERS BACK TO YOU

**IT SEEMS TO BE ANOTHER CLOUDY DAY
MMM SUMMERSTORMS PRECIPITATION, IN MY HEART

THERE’S NOTHIN BETTER THAN A CHAT ABOUT THE WEATHER
TO AVOID THE TALD THAT IS REAL
MAYBE I NEED SOME KIND OF POSITIVE AFFIRMATION
TO TASTE THE RAIN THAT I NEED

CARDIGAN
By Lil’ Fi 15/4/2001

THERE’S A LITTLE CARDIGAN OF AQUA BLUE
I’VE ALWAYS LOVED IT SO
WHEN I WAS OUT DANCING AND MISSING YOU
WELL IT DECIDED TO JUST UP AND GO

TIED AROUND MY SWINGIN’ HIPS
I LOVED TO TIE IT SO
WHEN IT DANCED OFF I DIDN’T FEEL IT SLIP
INTO THE PLACE WHERE BLUE CARDIGANS GO

LOST AND FOUND PLEASE HAVE YOU SEEN MY CARDIGAN
IT MEANS NOTHING TO YOU LET ME KNOW
LOST AND FOUND PLEASE HAVE YOU SEEN MY CARDIGAN
OOH OH LET ME KNOW

IT’S NOTHING FLASH JUST AQUA BLUE
THE ARMS WERE ALWAYS SHORT
WITH A STAIN ON THE FRONT AND A WHOLE OR TWO
YOU COULD HAVE IT I JUST THOUGHT

IT WAS MY MAMA’S FAVOURITE CARDIGAN
BEFORE SHE WENT TO THE STARS
I WAS GIVEN THE OLD BLUE CARDIGAN
AND I WORE IT WITH LOVE IN MY HEART

LOVE HIM LOVING ME
By Lil' Fi

I GLADLY GAVE UP THE BAD OLD DAYS
AND NOW THERE’S NOTHIN’ BUT GOOD
I CAN LET GO OF ANY SAD OLD WAY
CAUSE MY HEART IT FEELS LIKE IT SHOULD

**I NEVER KNOW A MAN WHO TREATED ME SO RIGHT
AT THE NIGHT TIME AND ALL THE BROARD DAY LIGHT
I LOVE HIM I LOVE HIM I LOVE HIM….LOVIN ME

I NEVER DID KNOW WHAT THE FUTURE WOULD BRING
(BUT) THERE IS ALWAYS CHANGE
I ALWAYS DID KNOW THAT HE WOULD COME ALONG
AND MY HEART WOULD REARRANGE

EVERY DAY, EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK
HE MAKES ME FEEL SO FINE
EVERY WAY, EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK
HE MAKES MY WHOLE LIFE SHINE
(OH WELL) I LOVE HIM I LOVE HIM I LOVE HIM….LOVING ME

Make Time
By Lil' Fi

I WANNA MAKE SOME TIME, KEEP A BIT FOR ME
I WANNA MAKE SOME TIME, GIVE IT OUT FOR FREE
YEAH MAKE SOME TIME, MIX IT IN A BOWL
MMM MAKE SOME TIME, BEFORE I GROW OLD

AND THAT MAMA WITH A NEW BABY
I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO CLIMB A TREE
AND PONDER ON MY DESTINY OH YEAH

Br 2
I GOT TO HAVE SOME MORE OF THIS ELUSIVE STUFF
YOU KNOW THAT I, I NEVER SEEM TO HAVE ENOUGH
OH WELL MY LIFE GETS SO BUSY AND IT’S JUST SO TOUGH
I GOT TO MAKE SOME TIME MAKE SOME TIME FOR US
OH YEAH……

MAGIC DOOR - Song lyrics

Get a room
Lil’ Fi & Dirk Dubois 20/9/04

Sometimes the moment takes you by surprise
And their bodies just melt when she looks into his eyes
The room disappears and all she wants is her lover
And they start looking around for some place undercover
The moment they kiss you hear a sub sonic boom
Now might be the time to go - get a room

Ch
Get a room, get a room, Get a room, get a room, Get a room, get a room, Get a room, get a room,

People around them start to figet and twitch
The small talk stops and is replaced by an itch
They’re all wound up with his passion salute
It feels real awkward and at first it was cute
The temperature is up and it’s the middle of June
Someone has to tell them to go - get a room

Folks like to make out under the stars
Or crowded together in fancy bars
Any place at all the passions run wild
On a bus on a train or in the mile high style
There’s just no stopping it’s not a moment too soon
But think of other people and go – get a room

Magazines advertise it all of the time
Sticky keys of the cyber set are into the mind
So many in the office get it on with the boss
People making out in the strangest of spots
Now don’t get me wrong I like my loving too
But think of all the fun if we go – get a room

Ragged
Lil’ Fi – 7 Feb 2004

Different trees, the same sky
Different roads the same moon in my eye
The more I change the more I stay the same
Go ragged, howlin at the moon

Different moods the same sigh
Different people the same look in his eye
The more things change the more they stay the same
Go ragged, howlin at the moon

Too many times I’ve sat out on a limb
Wandered alone in a crowd on a whim
Packed up and travelled and wound up home
Ended up ragged howlin at the moon

Different dreams the same sight
Different heartaches the same plight
The more they change the more they stay the same
Go ragged, howlin at the moon

Go ragged looking at the stars
Go ragged wondering where you are
Go dancieng and shake off that grudge
Go ragged loving you so much

Right here with you
Lil’ Fi – 3/ 11/ 2002

ch
Could be anywhere in the whole round world
Could be anywhere in the whole round world
Could be anywhere in the whole round world
But its home when I’m right here with you

Vs1
There’s been a boat in a river with a bed for two
There’s been a Motel on the side of the road
There’s been so many places that we could have stayed
And there’s bound to be a place that we can call our home

(and it )

Vs 2
There’s a truck stop in the desert with showers only for men
There’s a farm with chickens and a sheep
There’s a caravan with a circus and a job aswell
For maybe a month, a year and a week
(and it)

br
The uncertainty of where to lay down and rest
It’s a trouble of a million refugees
This is the time to consider where to make a nest
For all the displaced people in the world
For all the timeless nameless faces on the television screens

Stompin’ all over
Lil’ Fi – 1/1/02

The first mistake that the people did meet
X 3
Was puttin on those shoes on his feet

When they put the shoes on their feet
X 3
Didn’t care no more when they’re walkin’ the streets

Br
Mother Earth has been cryin (oh lord)
Mother earth feels like she’s dying
Cause the people don’t care where they’re walkin

ch
Stomping all over, stomping all over
Stomping all over with the shoes on their feet
Stomping all over, stomping all over
Stomping all over with the shoes on their feet

Now kick your shoes off and walk with your brother
Kick your shoes off and love with your lover
Kick your shoes off and walk with your mother
Now and walk around carefully no shoes on your feet

The first mistake that the people did meet
X 3
Was putting on those shoes on their feet.

Tell the Truth
Lil’ Fi & Dirk Dubois 6/8/2003

Vs
How can you stand there and keep a straight face
With lipstick on my teeth and food on my face
Tell the truth and don’t be a square
When something’s wrong don’t just look and stare

Ch
Tell the truth, tell the truth yeah
Tell the truth,
it may hurt but you will never regret it when you do

vs
A girl is dancing kicking up her heels
Tell the girl exactly just how you feel
Her dress is caught up in her yes yes yes
You’d better tell her or you’re in a mess

Br
My friends and I we all agree
If there is food upon on my face, or lipstick on my teeth
You’ve got to say something don’t you see
The longer that you leave it the worse it is
no – no - no no no no

vs
A guy is walking on down the street
His got some toilet paper stuck on his feet
You have to say something don’t be shy
Don’t be a fool just speak up and try...to

Uneasy Like Me
Rachel Koster & Lil’ Fi

Left over like an unwanted dinner
Asleep like a bear in the winter
Mis shapen like a play dough figure
Uneasy like me

Busy, like a hive near a river
Maintained like a car always driven
Mistaken not easily forgiven
Uneasy like me

ch
Uneasy, need someone sometimes to please me
Uneasy, need someone sometimes to releive me
Uneasy, wishing you were there sometimes to feed me
Uneasy ...... uneasy like me

Spun around like a toy in the corner
A book read leave you feelin’ like a loner
I wanna love you just like I wanna
Uneasy like me

An empty hand from posting a letter
Read the paper and wish things were better
Always remember that you’re a forgetter
Uneasy like me

SHUFFLE THE CARDS
Lil’ Fi 28/09/02 Dirk Dubois chorus
F# 12 bar shuffle

Take a silent breath and say a prayer
Call in the angels while sitting in the chair
Get out the silk that you wrap the cards up in
There’s a red headed woman wearing a read headed grin
Shuffle the cards and let’s see what’s happening now.

Shuffle the cards and lay them down
Now lets have a look at the future have a look around
The queen of swords and the nine of cups
Things are looking good for now they’re really looking up
So Shuffle the cards and lets see what happening now

Shuffle the cards
Shuffle the cards
Lay em down
Shuffle the cards
Shuffle the cards and lets see what’s happening now

There is a ritual of love
And a passage of rights and wrong
The directions of the East and West and where we belong
Hope in the deck of cards or the roll of a dice
A message that can be trusted would be really really nice
So Shuffle the cards and lets see what happening now

Split the deck and do it again
The wands a getting busy and there’s a blonde headed man
Here come the swords the pentacles and cups
There’s so much happening it’s really looking up
So Shuffle the cards and lets see what happening now

Pope Joan
Lil' Fi

###
A woman in the 12th century, to get a education
Masqueraded as a priest, now she was good ( how good?)
Real good, ( uh huh!) cause as priest she became a bishop,
and as a bishop she became a cardinal,
And as a cardinal she became a pope, pope Joan
(Pope John to the people)###

vs 1
Pope Joan was a woman with an educated mind
She wanted to learn how to read and write
And in those times only as a priest
Could you ever get to have that right, you see so

As the woman that she was she did it the best that she could
And the pontification came about but it just did'nt look so good
As she was walking in the procession and the baby wanted to come
She was walking, she collapsed into labour pain
and her secret became undone (woops)

-------scat--------

now the baby and pope joan were stoned to death
###
now funnily enough a strange custom followed there after
when the succeeding popes would sit on an open stool
and have the local clergy look up under their cassocks
to make she sure they were "he" and not "she" ###

Pope Joan was a woman with an educated mind
She wanted to learn how to read and write
And in those times only as a priest
Could you ever get to have that right

And this is her-story
About how she was walking
This is her story
Another woman acting like a man
Another woman acting like a man
It makes you wonder if it's part of a secret plan
(Or if its part of a master plan)

Pope Joan
