You can do (whatever)

[Uruguayo]

A preview of Yusuf/Cat's new song from the film Jobs.
Only 52 seconds but enough to say: I like it
Enjoy it.
Ale.

You can do (whatever)
You can do whatever you want to do
Anything you want you can do
You can ride a tiger or ..... a dog
Anything you wish can be true
You can watch the world as it passes by
You can make it stop for you

You can stay at home
or brave a storm when the blizzard blows
You can dance around in the rain
or watch from the window
You can lay in bed and do nothing
or rise and shine

Thanks for the link Ale. Interesting, the song echoes sentiments close to the ones in "Don't Be Shy".
BTW, what is the other song used in the movie? Is it "Peace Train"?

[Uruguayo]

You are right, Glaucus. The other song is Peace Train
Here is the tracklisting of the film:

Full lyrics as per yusufislam.com
-Mjwestha

You Can Do (Whatever)

You can do whatever you want to do
Anything you want – you can do
You can ride a tiger or walk the dog
Anything you wish can be true
You can watch the world as it passes by
Or you can make it stop for you

You can stay at home or brave a storm
When the blizzard blows
You can dance around in the rain
Or watch from the window
You can lay in bed and do nothing
Or rise and shine
You can take whatever comes around
But please don’t take what’s mine

You can do whatever you want to do
Anything you want – you can do
You can say whatever you wish to say
But if you do then, please make it true
You can chase a dream in the black of night
Or you can make it walk to you

You can treat the world like a piece of dust
Or a pot of gold
You can be a child in your heart
Or you can grow old
You can laze around in your jeans
Or put on a suit
You can be the be the boss of the company
Or just join the queue
You can close your eyes to the dark
Or make it bright
You can’t stop the wrongs of the world
If you can’t make it right
You can hide at home
When the soldiers start to march out
You can listen to what they say
Or you can shout!

Ooh, ooh,
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh

Let me correct that. I meant "If You Want To Sing Out".

Thanks MikeW for the lyrics.

Also, I like the use of the keyboard, it sounds a lot like what he did back in the day.

[Uruguayo]

I also like the arrangement of the keyboard. It sounds very Cat.
Someone had the opportunity to listen to the whole song?
