Lyrics of Can't Believe by Nancy Martin

shoobiedoowa
can't believe (x3)

I was walking down the street
walking on a steady beat

sudddenly I saw my feet
start to dance and make me free

I know you can do it
everybody can do it
everybody can do it

it could happen
it could happen anyday

shoobiedoowa
can't believe (x4)

I was taken by surprise
I could not believe my eyes
what I just realized
a funky dance will get you high

I know you can do it
everybody can do it
everybody can do it

it could happen
it could happen anyday

shoobiedoowa
can't believe (x6)

I was taken by surprise
I could not believe my eyes
what I just realized
a funky dance will get you high

I know you can do it
everybody can do it
everybody can do it

it could happen
it could happen anyday

Nancy Martin's first solo release was "Can't Believe". The song spread over Canada like wildfire eventually reaching the U.S. where Atlantic Records picked it up for release. This was her first American hit, but later that year she scored an even bigger success with "I'm Gonna Get Your Love" credited to Jade. Thanks to a Disconet remix (U.S.A.) and versions on Polydor (Canada), Rams Horn (Holland) and Dureco-Benelux (Netherlands) the song became a global sensation. I think it's a huge dancetune.

No Governement - Nicolette

No government is a way of life.
No government means to trust your friends.
I know who I am and you know who you are.

If everybody knew what they wanted,
there'd be nothing, nothing left.
People would do what they wanted,
and there'd be no government.

There'd be no government,
there'd be no government.
People would do what they wanted,
and there'd be no government.

There'd be no government,
there'd be no government.
People would do what they wanted,
and there'd be no government.

Life has me tempting, refreshing me,
making me stretch.
My body is flowing and happy
and feeling refreshed.

My choices, believe me, are infinite easy.
Exciting and mystical choices before me.
They tell me my life is a journey in no government.

If everybody lived in their bodies,
we'd have so much, so much time.
Touching would be such a pass-time,
and we'd have such lazy days.

We'd have such lazy days,
for we'd kiss them away.
People would worship eachother,
and we'd have loose, lazy ways.

No government is an easy time.
No government is an exciting life.
We'd work for ourselves,
and we'd love for ourselves,
and for no government.

There'd be no suffering.
There'd be no government.
People would see and let them be,
and we'd have no government.

There'd be no government,
there'd be no government.
People will see and let them be,
and will be no government.

No government is a way of life.
