Sam the Olympic Eagle is the mascot of the 1984 Summer Olympics which were held in Los Angeles. He is a bald eagle, which is the national bird of the United States, where the games were held. He also shares the name of Uncle Sam, another American symbol. Sam was designed by C. Robert Moore, an artist for Disney. This character is sometimes confused for Eagle Sam, host of the former Disneyland attraction America Sings, and designed by animator Marc Davis circa 1973, or Sam the Eagle from The Muppet Show. However, he is known as Eagle Sam in Japan, where an animated series of the same name ran in the year preceding the Summer Olympics.
Even after the conclusion of the Games, Sam the Eagle is still used to promote a track and field event, the Mt. SAC Relays at Mt. San Antonio College, specifically its "LA84 Youth Days" promotion for youth interested in athletics, run by a charitable group founded during the Olympics.
You’ve got the sand in my eyes
Blinded by the hate and the lies
Feels like the darkness swelling
Complete the sin in your eyes
Distrust lapse close behind
Like a man with something to hide
Is that why
Tell me why
It makes you hard when I cry
I need a whole lot better
What kinda power you got
You’ve got the sand in my eyes
Blinded by the hate and the lies
Maybe I’ll wake up someday
You drive me low by the line
Distractions vie for your time
His panic weighs on my mind
His call and I pay the price
You fell good
You feel safe
How does it feel to feel good
What kinda power you got
I see a whole lot better
Delusions too quick to fade
Breathe in the smell of despair
Never asked for this measure
Won’t you fix me in my haze
Conditions they never change
It feels good
I see a whole lot better
What kinda power you got
I see a whole lot better
What kinda power you got
You’ve got the sand in my eyes
Blinded by the hate and the lies
1, 2, 3 go!
when i was a boy, about 9
i wondered what it would be like to be a spy
i said to my parents:
"you just wait any you will see,
i'll be a part of your secret agency"secret agent man
they tried to discourage me
they said "You'll never achieve any of your dreams"
and i said "Your wrong, you just wait any you will see,
i'll be a part of your secret agency"
secret agent man
secret agent man
and now i find myself in a foreign land
i have my secret agent gun tight in hand
i light a smoke and say "Now you see,
i am a part of your, your secret agency"
secret agent man
they tried to discourage me
they said "You'll never achieve any of your dreams"
and i see i have a very supportive family
but i'll be a part of their secret agency
secret agent man
secret agent man

Chuva sobre chuva noite e dia só chovia
E eu descia para a rua
No meio da avenida um amigo me via
Aonde você vai Sam?
Vou ali depois de conto
Chuva tão sem graça. Tudo que aborrece passa
Logo o sol ensolarava
Passando pela praça uma gata me mata
Aonde você vai Sam?
Vou ali depois te beijo
Um pregador me pega
Me prega o seu asco, um saco
E eu já tava no inferno
Um pregador moderno
Blusão de couro em vez de terno
Aonde você vai, filho?
Vou ali depois me humilho
Baixo e guitarra noite e dia só farra
Que saudades de uma missa
No adro da igreja o meu se divertia
Aonde você Sam?
Vou ali e volto um dia
Aonde você Sam?
Os dias são muitos
Aonde você vai, well?
Podemos ir juntos
(John Farrar/Hank Marvin/Don Black)
I heard that you're on your own now
So am I
I'm living alone now
I was wrong
So were you
What will you do?
Are you glad to be free?
Are you feeling lost just like me?
Longing for company
Oh Sam, Sam, you know where I am
Come around and talk awhile
I need your smile
You need a shoulder
Oh Sam, Sam, you know where I am
And the door is open wide
Come on inside
Longing to see you
Oh Sam, Sam, you know where I am
I find the days hard to face now
Empty rooms
There's much too much space now
And the nights go so slow
I'm sure you know
Wish I knew what to do
It would be so nice seeing you
And it might help you too
Oh Sam, Sam, you know where I am
Come around and talk awhile
I need your smile
You need a shoulder
Oh Sam, Sam, you know where I am
And the door is open wide
Come on inside
Longing to see you
Oh Sam, Sam, you know where I am
Oh Sam, you know where I am
Oh Sam, ooh Sam
You know, you know
You know where I am
You live on Lancaster Road
And you've got a computer
And you go, when the libraries closed
And sit and think of the future
Oh, oh oh Sam
Oh, oh oh Sam
Oh, oh oh Sam
You're my main man
You've got a mum by the name of Anne
And she has got a daughter
And you're brother Simon, well sometimes he gets out of hand
But he looks like John Travolta
Oh, oh, oh, Sam
Oh, oh, oh, Sam
Oh, oh, oh, Sam
You're my main man
Oh, oh, oh, Sam, la
You drink tea, in a cafe close to me
I sit and read the headlines
You don't seem to mind if the social's too unkind
Or if you're near the breadline
Oh, oh, oh, Sam
Oh, oh, oh, Sam
Oh, oh, oh, Sam
You're my main man
Oh, oh, oh, Sam
Oh, oh, oh, Sam
Oh, oh, oh, Sam
We'll do everything we can, la...
Ten years passed ..

Sweet lady won’t you come close

Chorus:
Says your love is like, love is like wow
Says your love is like wow
You left me so crazy

[Chorus:]
Sweet lady
Can’t believe that i found you baby ooh
You can loose but you may win
You may not finish what you begin
This life is just a chancy thing
You're dealt some cards
You play the game
You play the game or
The game plays you
But one thing
You can hold on to
The dream of a better world
In your heart always
The dream of a better world
To help you through those days
The dream of a better world
When the winner turns to fall
And you grow weary from it all
When every inch has been been a fight
You'll take the blows
And live the life
Or the life lives you
But there's one thing
You'll hold on to
The dream of a better world
In your heart always
The dream of a better world
To help you through those days.
Sam is a friend is, is a friend of mine
He knows just how to laugh and shout
Get up early at the break of day
And you might just catch him out.
He's got a smile and a plastic gun
And a good old cowboy hat
Get up early and you'll see him ride
Shootin' up the alley round the back.
All he wants is a chocolate bar
The lavatory now and again
A friend or two and a family who
Will love him when he comes in.
He don't worry and he don't care
About the same things I do
He just thinks about Captain Kirk
And an' he hollers out scoobedoo.
Well I wish I was not quite so old
With a house and a car and a headache
Get up early at the crack of dawn
And you might just see me break.
All I want is a rest from all the fever and the fret
Give me a ride on Sam's old horse
And I wish I was where he was at
And I wish I was where he was at.
Sam is a friend is, is a friend of mine
He knows just how to laugh and shout
Get up early at the break of day
And you might just, see him.
Sam voulait être une star, star brillant sous les feux
Mais humilié, rabaissé, dégoûté, affligé par le reflet de la réalité
Sam cache, cache sa face et crache, considérant que sa face laisse place,
laisse place au reflet d'Antonio Banderas, ce reflet qui le glace, d' Antonio Banderas,
ce reflet qui le glace
tagalagaba toga begalayv Sam essaie des incantations
Peux-tu encore té-ma ta face dans la glace sans démolir le sens des réalités
c'est sans équivoque que le verdict est lâché ! c'est le complexe dit « oh » d'identité
Peux-tu encore té-ma ta face dans la glace sans démolir le sens des réalités
c'est sans équivoque que le verdict est lâché ! complexe d'identité, complexe !
démolir ta face dans le miroir, Sam voudrait démolir sa face dans le miroir
Sam veut sortir du noir, Sam évite les miroirs
Cache, cache sa face et crache, considérant que sa face laisse place,
laisse place au reflet d'Antonio Banderas, ce reflet qui le glace
tagalagaba toga begalayv Sam essaie des incantations tagalagaba toga begalayv
Peux tu encore té-ma ta face dans la glace sans démolir le sens des réalités
c'est sans équivoque que le verdict est lâché ! c'est le complexe dit « oh » d'identité
Peux tu encore té-ma ta face dans la glace sans démolir le sens des réalités
c'est sans équivoque que le verdict est lâché ! complexe d'identité, complexe !
démolir ta face dans le miroir, Sam voudrait démolir sa face dans le miroir
Miroir beau miroir oh dit moi ce que je fais là ,
ce reflet qui se trouve là ce n'est pas vraiment moi, démoli sa face,
à 10 secondes du grand saut, quatre, trois, deux, un !
L'ultime regard face à son reflet s'éparpille le long des murs aux éclats ensanglantés
[Verse 1: Domo Genesis]
This life is a game, if you wanna play
Then count all your own mistakes
Livin' it with no delay
So fast I'm getting growing pains
Father didn't show me my instincts to take the open lane
I go insane
All these problems coming with my growing age
Blowin' haze
Trying to clear the doubt that's sitting on my brain
I don't complain
But the kid inside me's feeling so restrained
Gotta stay golden
Let desire rekindle the flame
Searchin' for the Fountain of Youth, when I'm free in my brain
[Pre-hook]
(Bring in the horns) You hear that f*cking brass?
(F*cking brass, n*gga) That's little boy nigger with the trumpets
Marchin' with the bandwagon
Looking for his heart, no sleeve
But his hand carry muskets
Working in the meadows, Oblivion
Motherf*ck Geppetto
He's a leader, not a puppet
Some professors nutty, you're the Klump's dick
So think before you blink, and "Aye-Aye" make assumptions
[Hook (x2)]
N*gga's!
(Go left! Go left! Go left, right, left! )
N*gga's coming!
(Go left! Go left! Go left, right, left! )
[Verse 2: Tyler, The Creator]
They want a story, a story
I write the sh*t that I find very amusing
Cuz all the other f*ckin' stories are boring
It's really awkward to know, that a bunch of kids do adore me
It's like I fathered these f*ckers, so you will find me on Maury
I'm still a kid in my heart, so I have a problem maturing
But it will come from experiences and sh*t I see touring
I'm like a birdman, I'm soaring, really high
And I'm really horny, from watching this porn
Nope
[Pre-hook]
(Bring in the horns) You hear that f*cking brass?
(F*cking brass, n*gga) That's little boy nigger with the trumpets
Marchin' with the bandwagon
Looking for his heart, no sleeve
But his hand carry muskets
Working in the meadows, Oblivion
Motherf*ck Geppetto
He's a leader, not a puppet
Some professors nutty, you're the Klump's dick
So think before you blink, and "Aye-Aye" make assumptions

N*gga's!
(Go left! Go left! Go left, right, left! )
N*gga's coming!
(Go left! Go left! Go left, right, left! )
[Bridge]
(Erer-erer-erer br-bring in the)
(Erer-erer-erer br-bring in the)
(Erer-erer-erer br-bring in the)
(Erer-erer-erer)
Where's Tyler?
[Verse 3: Tyler, The Creator]
Bottom of the countdown
Sh*t ain't been the same since I found out
Hodgy Beats ghost wrote for Bow-Wow
Now I'm the loud, shot, body-styled, foul mouth f*cker
That your teenage kid, likes to bow down
Riding around town in Seattle
With the same shotgun that Kurt used to "Click-Clack-Boom-Pow"
Still suicidal, but some assume that I'm cool now
Cuz I got a f*cking award in my own room now
Nope, but I can flip sh*t like a couch pillow
And have my death silent like a loose vow
The bandwagon turned into caboose, so
So, don't let that little nigger trumpet lose sound
Maybe they had a ridiculous statement to make
About something they hadn't experienced
Possibly Sam had a different opinion
That nobody'd ever considered important
And damn it if Norman and Betty were listening
Somebody would have become a phenomenal
Howling lightning tampering with the
Electrical evidence shown to be relevant
Possibly with the exception of ivory
Everyone else had abandoned the obvious
Chipping away at erroneous garbage
Which definitely is as exciting as pudding
Deliciously spooned from the lap of the Ludicrous
Into the mouths of the questionless idiots
Licking their lips as their eyeballs are rolling
And flapping their tongues as they're losing their marbles
That's the way Sam play around
That's the way Sam play
Someone who wasn't related to anyone
Twisted the facts till the truth was apparent
And dished up a dollop of dubious doo-doo
That sparkled like something folks scrambled to swallow
Slipping the rich through the eye of a needle
Is easy as getting a camel to heaven
And granny transgressing had blubbered
A bibful of classified info on Milton's imbroglio
That's the way Sam play around
That's the way Sam play
That's the way Sam play around
That's the way Sam play
That's the way Sam play around
That's the way Sam play
Maybe they had a ridiculous statement to make
About something they hadn't experienced
Possibly Sam had a different opinion
That nobody'd ever considered important
And maybe they had a ridiculous statement to make
About something they hadn't experienced
Possibly Sam had a different opinion
