​​​​​​​​ ​ This song is based on a True Story about a Real Bad Cop named John, who broke the law to bust Ross for a reefer way back when possession of cannabis was still illegal in Canada. The bust was only the beginning of this long, twisted story, but then Karmic Justice came down hard on John for abusing his role as Police Officer and power- tripping on longhairs & students to give his huge ego a boost. ​ Over the next few years, John’s name became associated with Satanic Child Sex Abuse. Those charges were later dropped, but John’s life was ruined forever. ​ ​ ​ BAD COP SONG HARD ROCK Bad Cop Song 00:00 / 03:46 Lyrics BAD COP SONG - W Ross Campbell (SOCAN) There's a rotten apple in every platoon'N' our police department in Saskatoon's got a son-of-a-bitch He'll break the laws of human rights 'N bust some head on a summer's night just to scratch his itch He's riding on a psychopathic power trip He's going for the Macho Moron championship So watch out for this dangerous psych and Thank God every cop's not like Bad Cop, John Bad Cop​Now, some cops work an 8 hour day'N' next to plumbers they get lousy pay--don't get no tips So if you're on the street downtown Be careful you don't get shaken down just for kicks If the Police Commission knew how John behaves every dayThey'd cut off all his buttons & take his badge away So watch out for this dangerous psych and thank God every cop's not like John Bad Cop ​It seems to me there's nothing just about Hunting 'round for teens to bust--don't it make you sad?

Lyrics SUPER CIRCUIT MAN Give My Heart To You I lead a half-life in No-man's Land, I live between the walls My mind has many mirrors and my house is full of halls And I am very interested in what it is you do And I would be prepared, My Dear, to give my heart to you Yes, I wanna give my heart to you (rep) Now you were born in riches and I was born in rags And up to now we've always been in completely different bags But here is where the change comes, from now on we'll be thick Give me just your smile, Babe, and I will give you dick I wanna give my heart to you (rep) We have an agreement that we'll never go to church But I know where I'd stand if you left me in the lurch I'd curl up like a jellyfish and that would be my end Keep me from that fate, Babe, and I will be your friend I wanna give my heart to you (rep) Entre Chien et Loup Entre chien et loup, a t the tail-end of the day Before the lamp is lit, j ust as the sun has slipped away We lie together here and now-- I so love the very touch of you This is our favourite quiet time w hen our love constantly renews So hold me while the world is turning blue Juste entre chien et loup ​ Entre chien et loup, e n anglais we call it dusk As we let the fading light gently encompass us Wanting you feels so right as our hearts & minds entwine The world's concerns now fade away As we forget life's frantic pantomime So kiss me while the world is turning blue Juste entre chien et loup ​ Entre chien et loup, we see ourselves that way Ever faithful friends, affectionate & here to stay But also wild & free when the moon comes shining through A boundless passion flows through us I speak your name & howl at your beauty too 'N' if there ain't no cure, then let's just try to make do Et faire l'amour juste entre chien et loup ​ Entre chien et loup, a la fin de la journee Avant d'allumer la lampe, a pres que le soleil s'est retire On s'allonge ensemble, j'adore tellement ton toucher C'est notre moment de serenite Quand notre amour est renouvele Embrasse-moi pendant que le monde tourne au bleu et au flou J uste entre chien et loup So love me while the world turns hazy & blue Ma Cherie, juste entre chien et loup The Lie "Why, tell me why won't you take me along?" I heard a young man call He was speaking to a woman in a taxi-cab 'N' for a minute she said nothing at all But the woman wasn't crying, just shaking her head You could tell she was saying goodbye Then she turned and she looked right into his face And said "You never should have told me no lie!" (chorus) For a lie is for someone you don't really know Or for whom you just don't care Any lover of mine's gotta tell me the truth If he lies, I don't wanna be there Yes a lie is for a stranger or an enemy Or a person who's putting you on But you lied to the woman who was sharing your bed And for that I'll be moving along II Well the man said "Baby, you can't leave now I don't know what I'd do I only lied for the sake of our love And I really do love you!" But the woman smiled hard and tapped on the glass And the taxi started rolling away She said "What kind of fool do you take me for? That's a stupid thing to say." (repeat chorus) Would you lie to your brother when he's counting on you Or your friend who's standing by? You don't lie to your helper, or your Mother who taught you not to lie You wouldn't lie to a blind man or a person who'd helped you to see So why in the name of Sweet Love, Babe, did you have to lie to me? (repeat chorus) My Cup Runneth Over My Cup Runneth Over, I've got the love of a woman I couldn't really ask for much more She & I see eye to eye and there's a child running round on the floor I walk in the door from the outside world Where the scene's getting bleaker each day My kid lights up and says "What's new, Daddy?" and I just have to smile and say (chorus) My Cup Runneth Over When you look at me, it warms my heart up so My Cup Runneth Over Just like the sun coming up, you make me feel ready to go My Cup Runneth Over I've got the love that you give to help me stay on track My Cup Runneth Over I'd have nothing if I didn't have you I'm gonna give you all of my love back (rep) II Oh the way the world turns Sometimes I wish I was dead I toss and I turn cuz I can't sleep With all my worries running round my head I'm crying inside cuz I can't face saying goodbye to my youth Then all of a suddon there's something you do That brings me back to the truth (repeat chorus) Dance On The Breeze It's the particular way you move your hands when you're talking to me It's the magical glint in your blue eyes when you smile It's your articulate mind & the way you look when you're in a book It's the wonderful way that you let life happen It's the affectionate touch of your hand on my arm of an evening Your ephemeral glance & your quick wit which give me this feeling Your elegant feet & the way they move when you're in a groove It's the wonderful way that you let life happen While we're making other plans It's the wonderful way that you let life happen (chorus) You're the reason I breathe. You are the reason I can dance on the breeze It's you who I want to please You are the only reason I can dance on the breeze. II It's your rhythmical phrase & your straight-on gaze When you 're telling a joke Your generous soul when you host your friends Or when you give me a stroke The way you accept certain things about me that I can't change It's the wonderful way that you let life happen The far away look that you get in your eye when you talk about Spain Your lyrical heart and that Gyosy cry and your steel-trap brain The musical note that you give your voice when you're having a laugh It's your "doctor whistle" when you're by yourself, running a bath (repeat chorus) III An olive a day keeps the doctor away--so you said to me You taught me the Mediterranean way (That's where we'd like to be) Life for me began anew when I met you One ripe olive at a time (repeat) (repeat chorus) Whacha Doin' To Me, Video? Whacha Doin' To Me, Video? You make me into something else I stretch, I preen, I can move, if you know what I mean Baow Baow Baow Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh Bop Do-dit! (rep) Whacha Doin' To Me, Video? You make me turn the other cheek I slide, I jump, you can hear me in the night--I go bump Baow Baow Baow Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh Bop Do-dit! (rep) Whacha Doin' To Me, Video? You swing me to and fro I strut, I prance, give me time and I'll learn how to dance Baow Baow Baow Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh Bop Do-dit! (rep) Must You Use The Word "Love"? Must you use the word "Love"? I know you're fond of me You know I think the world of you But when you use the word "Love" The time confuses me And I forget I'm only passing through Must you always say "We"? As though we'll never part As though I'll never say goodbye And must I know when I leave That you'll be torn apart? Must you set yourself up just to cry? Please don't misunderstand me It's not that I don't feel That surge of warmth when you come in That signals something real Come and lie down by my side And put your lips to mine And whisper to me what you're thinking of But don't be shocked if I say When you've been whispering Darling, must you use the word "Love"?
