DAVID BOWIE lyrics - Nite Flights



There's no hold

The moving has come through

The danger passing you

Turns its face into the heat and runs the tunnels

It's so cold

The dark dug up by dogs

The stiches torn and broke

The raw meat fist you choke

Has hit the bloodlite



Glass traps open and close on

nite flights

Broken necks feather weights press the walls

Be my love, we will be gods on nite flights

With only one promise, only one way to fall



Glass traps open and close on nite flights

Broken necks feather weights press the walls

Be my love, we will be gods on nite flights

With only one promise, only one way to call



On nite flights

Only one way to fall

RANDY NEWMAN lyrics - Louisiana



What had happened down there was the wind had changed

Cloud rolled in from the north and it started to rain

It rained real hard and it rained for a real long time

Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline



The river rose all day, the river rose all night

Some got lost in the flood, some got away all right

The river busted through clear down to Plaquemine

Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline



Louisiana, Louisiana

They're tryin' to wash us away

They're tryin' to wash us away

Louisiana, Louisiana

They're tryin' to wash us away

They're tryin' to wash us away



President Coolidge come down in a railroad train

With a little fat man with a notepad in his hand.

President say, "Little fat man, isn't it a shame

What the river has done to this poor cracker's land?"



Louisiana, Louisiana

They're tryin' to wash us away

They're tryin' to wash us away

Louisiana, Louisiana

They're tryin' to wash us away

They're tryin' to wash us away

They're tryin' to wash us away

They're tryin' to wash us away


BRENDA LEE lyrics - Silver Bells



(Jay Livingston - Ray Evans)



City sidewalks, busy sidewalks, dressed in holiday style

In the air there's a feeling of Christmas

Children laughing, people passing

Meeting smile after smile,

And on every street corner you hear



Silver bells, silver bells

It's Christmas time in the city

Ring-a-ling, hear them ring

Soon it will be Christmas Day



City streetlights, even stoplights, blink a bright red and green

As the shoppers rush home with their treasures

Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch

This is Santa's big scene

And above all this bustle you hear



City sidewalks, busy sidewalks, dressed in holiday style

In the air there's a feeling of Christmas

Children laughing, people passing

Meeting smile after smile,

And on every street corner you hear



Soon it will be Christmas Day

Soon it will be Christmas Day


CHAKA KHAN lyrics - And The Melody Still Lingers On (Night In Tunisia)



(Dizzy Gillespie, Frank Paparelli, Chaka Khan and Arif Mardin)



A long time ago in the 40's

Dizzy and Bird gave us this song

They called it "A Night In Tunisia"

And the melody still lingers on



It was new and very strange

Blew the squares right off the stage

Few could play along

But the melody still lingers on



Max and Miles to name just two

Together they grew

The music was young and strong

And the melody still lingers on



They paved the way for generations

From Coltrane to Stevie

No one could stop the winds of change

Without them where'd we be?



The Duke and the Prez were there before

The past you can't ignore

The torch is lit, we'll keep the flame

And the melody remains the same



In the 40's

A night in tunisia

In the 40's

A night in tunisia

In the 40's

A night in tunisia

In the 40's

A night in tunisia

URIAH HEEP lyrics - Love Is Blind



(Carbone)



I tried to give you love

That was ever flowing

I tried to give you love

That could be so true

But you wanted less

Than I had to offer

What was I to do

I tried to????

I tried to promise dreams

That I would make come true

But you said that love was

A game for children

Here I stand, a fool



Love is blind

Blinded by love

You're all I can see in my eyes

My mind says, stop

But my heart says go

And oh, how it hurts to find

It still went to say that

Love is blind

Love is blind



I tell myself if there

Was a chance to show you

Just how a good love

If there could be

But love was that

You had never given

I just couldn't see

I close my eyes to all that

You never gave me

My heart didn't wanna see

How you played around

And how well you showed

How wounded love can be


T. REX lyrics - Jason B. Sad



[A distant friend of Johnny B. Goode]



Jason B. Sad was a lonely lad

His head was a bed for everyone

His clothes was his life

But his heart was a knife

Inscribed on it was "rock 'n' roll is cruel"



Take me to school, boy

Leave me alone, boy

Slice me a bone of the Universe

Take me to school, boy

Leave me alone, boy

Slice me a bone of the Universe



Jason got weird and he pierced his ears

A gypsy alone in his gallantry

He met Shaky Sue, who wore only blue

And they shared in their teenage misery



Then Jason read books and wore hard looks

He swapped Sue for an artisan

His winters were long and a fantastic song

Grew from his head like a marigold


TOM PETTY & THE HEARTBREAKERS lyrics - Asshole



(Beck Campbell)



Your brains went black

When she took back her love

And put it out into the sun

The birds did fly

When the heavens all went dry

And the cigarettes were smoking by themselves



(Chorus)

She'll do anything

She'll do anything

She'll do anything

To make you feel like an asshole



Call her name

She looks the same as you

With questionmarks stretched across her skin

She dangles carrots

Makes you feel embarrased

To be the fool you know you are



(Chorus)


DEEP PURPLE lyrics - River Deep, Mountain High



(Spector/Greenwich/Barry)



When you were a young girl

Did you have a rag doll

The only doll you've ever owned

Now I'll love you just the way you loved that rag doll

Only now my love has grown



It gets stronger as the river flows

Deeper baby, heaven knows

Higher, as it goes



Do I love you, my oh my

River Deep, Mountain High, yeah, yeah, yeah

Do I love you, would I cry

Oh I love you baby, how I love you baby



When you were a young girl

Did you have a puppy

That always followed you around

Well I'm gonna be as faithful as that puppy

No I'll never never let you down



Cos it gets stronger as the river flows

It gets deeper baby, heaven knows

It gets higher, so much higher, as it goes



Do I love you, my oh my

River Deep, Mountain High, yeah, yeah, yeah

Do I love you, would I cry

Oh I love you baby, how I love you baby



I love you baby like a flower loves a spring

I love you baby like a robin likes to sing

I love you baby like a schoolboy likes his pie

And oh I love you baby, River deep, Mountain high





Do I love you, my oh my

River Deep, Mountain High, yeah, yeah, yeah

Do I love you, would I cry

Oh I love you baby, how I love you baby

PRINCE lyrics - Can't Stop This Feeling I Got



Dear Dad,

Things didn't turn out quite like I wanted them 2

Sometimes I feel like I'm gonna explode



Everybody wanna see u down 4 the count

But that ain't what being a real man's about

The brave and the bold hang around 4 the kill

So the bigger the hole, the bigger we fill it (fill it!)

They can hit us with all they got

But cha know what?

What?



I can't stop this feeling I got

I feel it right down 2 my toes

I can't stop this feeling I got

My body got 2 have it u know

I can't stop this feeling I got

I'll write a letter to the whole world

I can't stop this feeling I got

Every man, woman, boy and girl



Can't stop this feeling I got, I can't stop this feeling I got

I can't stop this feeling I got, I can't stop this feeling I got



I can't stop this feeling I got

U know I can't sleep at night

I can't stop, u know I love it a lot,

I'm talking about an everlasting light.

I can't stop this feeling I got

I get to shaking all in my shoes

I can't stop this feeling I got

The doctor say there's nothing that he can do



Can't stop this feeling I got, can't stop this feeling I got

I can't stop this feeling I got, can't stop this feeling I got

Keep on singing now



Can't stop. try 2 tell me how 2 paint my palace,

That ain't where it's at,

That's like trying 2 tell Columbus that the world is flat.

If the song we're singing truely is the best

Then that my brothers is the ultimate test

All in favor say Aye.

We can change anything at all.



I, I, I can't stop. can't stop.

I'm in a butt kicking mood tonight ya'll

Can't stop. can't stop.

Can't stop this feeling I got

Can't stop this feeling I got

Can't stop this feeling I got

Can't stop this feeling I got

Can't stop this feeling I got

Can't stop this feeling I got

Can't stop this feeling I got

(no, no, no, no)

Feeling, feeling, feeling, hey!

Hey, pardon me 4 living, (pardon me 4 living)

But this is my world, (this is my world)

U can't make me change (u can't make me change)

Maybe we all got to rearrange (rearrange)

Our brains (our brains)



Yeah. Only we can change the world

Only we can change the world

Only we can change the world



1, 2, 1, 2, 3

I can't stop this feeling I got

I can't stop this feeling I got

I can't stop this feeling I got

Feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling, yeah!

Yeah!


ELVIS PRESLEY lyrics - Do You Know Who I Am



(Russell)



Do you know who I am

Have you have any idea who I am

Yes it's been quite a while

And it's so good to see you again



It's so dark in this place

That I can't see your face

May believe Oh I see

Does he know who I am

And what once was between you and me



Do you know how I tried

Have you any idea how I tried

Not to keep you in sight

Do you know darling how much I cried



I remember you said

That you had to forget about me, and be free

Do you know who I am or have you forgot about me



Do you think there's a chance

You and I could start over again

Is there a prayer you still pray

Or has it just been too long and we're through

Well, what about you and him

Oh he's only a friend

Well I see there's still a chance for me



Well maybe some other time, in some other place

With our love in your heart and a smile on your face

You will know who I am

When that time comes you'll know who I am

You will know who I am

When that time comes you'll know who I am

You will know who I am

When that time comes you'll know who I am


CHARLOTTE GAINSBOURG lyrics - Dandelion



Red River, keep on rolling down

It's been a long time since I let my hair hang down

I'll take my time before I go under the ground

Oh dandelion, tell me what you're thinking now



Shape I'm in, I better get back home soon

I got one eye on the road and one eye on the big black moon

Dandelion, won't you tell me what to do



Ironsides rusting in the railroad rain

Now I found out what the Captain of the Morning was saying

Dandelion, better hope your mother's praying



Dumb luck is only the luck I ever knew

I'd make a wish but I don't think it'd ever come true

Dandelion, I guess I'll leave it up to you



Belle Starr, she doesn't have any shoes

She walks crooked and paints her eyelids blue

Dandelion, I wanna go there too


KISS lyrics - Rock And Roll Hell



Been under fire sixteen years,

just waitin' for his time to come

He fought the lies, fought back the tears,

can't wait to hear that starting gun

There ain't nobody gonna step on his dreams

So he held his hands high and screamed



Chorus:

Get me out of this rock and roll hell, take me far away

Get me out of this rock and roll hell

Get me out of this rock and roll hell, I need to get away

Get me out of this rock and roll hell

He's on the edge, he can feel it in his heart

This time the pressure's really on

He's gonna fight it, might even steal a guitar

This time tomorrow he'll be gone

There ain't nobody gonna tell him what to do

Think he's a little like me and you



chorus

He's on the run, won't stand for second place,

but his turn may never come

He's not a victim, you can see it in his face

But he can't see what he's become

Well, he wants it bad, but he wants no charity

He seems to think it's his destiny



I need to get away



chorus repeats out

TOO $HORT (TOO SHORT) lyrics - Be My Dirty Love



[singer croons "be my.. dirty love" 2x while Short spits]



Ain't nuttin changed.. Short Dawg

Sheezee.. sheezee



[singer croons "be my.. (be my) dirty love (dirty love)" 2x]



Much love y'all

Short Dawg's in this



[Verse One: Too $hort]

I'm high profile, but you can't see me hoe

Got limosine tint like a real CEO

Hands free, talkin on the speaker phone

Handlin my business, just tryin to get my freak on

You know, bitches always beepin me with code 69

I'm real with mine, I make hoes wait in line

Can't fuck em all, and don't want to

Cause some of these tramps might front you (watch out)

You waited six months, I fucked her on the first date

And so I smoke the green weed to keep my mind straight

It's Friday, doin shit my way

Me and yo' bitch, rollin down the highway (right)

While you shootin that.. she gave it up easy

Fore-a-play and all that, wasn't tryin to tease me

Now you wanna feud, fuck that shit (slut)

Let's fight behind a lady, not that punk ass bitch



[singer croons "be my.. dirty love" 2x while Short spits]



Watch em.. keep your eyes open

Doesn't make sense



[Verse Two: Too $hort]

Now here I go, spittin another verse

Let the pen read my mind cause the shit ain't rehearsed

I'm so curious, about what this fat bitch have

A big bag of weed and a pack of zig-zags (smokin)

So I kicked it with her, with no intentions to fuck

Smoked up her weed and got my dick sucked (yeah right)

I said I got a lot of money but I'm short on cash

Could you give a nigga some so I can get some gas? (stupid shit)

She gave me twenty dollars, I know it's small pimpin

But it's mandatory, when I deal with all women (all these hoes)

It ain't gon' be no one-sided, I support her shit

Just because she hurt, Too $hort got a grip, beyitch!

I break it down, like the beat

Ride you like a motherfuckin seventy-three

Old school, everytime I roll through

All you suckers know who all the bitches go to, Short Dawg



[singer croons "be my.. dirty love" 2x while Short spits]



Fuck a bitch.. they fuck with you main

Foul mouthed little motherfuckers.. ?



[Verse Three: Too $hort]

It's cause rap music is like sellin dope

Every dollar you invest you get seven mo' (and that's real)

I hope you never ask me, how much it costs

If you can't figure out how the fuck I floss (big ballin)

You better get in where you fit in

Cause a nigga like me ain't kiddin (no jokes)

Here come her boyfriend, with that narrow minded shit

Kissin on the bitch, she sucked e'rybody dick (slut)

Don't get mad, you knew the bitch had flaws

Ridin in the Benz (bitch) dick hangin out my drawers..

.. now why she give me head? (why?)

All she ever wanted was to get in my bed

I ain't gotta be a trick to tramp your hoe (nope)

I spit the game like a pimp while I'm ridin chrome

I had a dream I was through, can't sell records

Can't catch hoes, bring em home and get naked (what?)

It's not the first time, I had this dream

But music is my drug and I'm a dopefiend (straight)

The way I put it down, it don't seem too hard

Scorin points like Kareem-Abdul Jabbar (swish)

And if you tryin to catch me, you'll find out fast

What you tryin to do is an impossible task (can't do it)

Cause what I'm doin (can't do that) no rapper ever did it

(can't do that) Eleven albums and I'm still the shit, bitch!



[singer croons "be my.. dirty love" 2x while Short spits]



Can't do that.. nah nah.. ain't gon' happen

Old school Too $hort, that's right I said Too $hort



[singer croons "be my.. (be my) dirty love (dirty love)" 2x]



We go way back, youknowhatI'msayin?

Buy you some motherfuckin business

Get up out the madness


THE TEMPTATIONS lyrics - For Once In My Life



For once in my life

I have someone who needs me.

Someone I needed so long.



For once unafraid

I can go where life leads me.

Some how I know I'll be strong.



For once I can touch

What my heart used to dream of.

Long before I knew.

Aww, someone like you

Would make my dream come true.



For once in my life

I won't let sorrow hurt me.

Not like it's hurt me before.



For once I have something

I know won't desert me.

I'm not alone anymore.



For once I can say

This is mine, you can't take it.

As long as I know

I have love I can make it.



For once in my life

I have someone who needs me.



For once I can say

This is mine, you can't take it.

Long as I know

I have love I can make it.



For once I can feel

That somebody heard my plea.

For once in my life

I have someone who needs me.



(For once in my life)

(In my life)


MIKE AND THE MECHANICS lyrics - A Beggar On A Beach Of Gold



I didn't know when I was lucky

Discontented feeling bad

Filled with envy

For possessions other people had



I found my pride had always hurt me

Fought the world to gain control

Not realising

I was sitting on a beach of gold



Oh lord I'm a poor man

With all the riches I can hold

I'm a beggar

And I'm sitting on a beach of gold



The problems I encountered

Gave me strength helped me sustain

To know the pleasure

First I had to cure the pain



When I was searching for solutions

I found the answer lay in me

I'm a drifter

But I'm drifting on a silver sea



Oh lord I'm a poor man

With all the riches I can hold

I'm a beggar

And I'm sitting on a beach of gold



I didn't have courage

My life was as dark as night

When alone in the darkness

I saw the brightest light

Let the light shine down



Are you out there now on empty

Feel you've nothing left to give

Sick of trying

Have you lost the will to live?



Don't be drowning in the shallows

With the beach so near at hand

Hear the voice say

Stand up get up

And join me on the gilded sand



Come and join me on the beach

With all the riches I can hold

Cause I'm a beggar

And I'm sitting on a beach of gold



Oh lord I'm a poor man

With all the riches I can hold

I'm a beggar

I'm sitting on a beach of gold



My children my salvation

The father to this man

They're my teachers

Playing on the golden sand



With my family all around me

I've all the riches I can hold

I'm a beggar

Sitting on a beach of gold



Oh lord I'm a poor man

With all the riches I can hold

I'm a beggar

Sitting on a beach of gold

GENESIS lyrics - Heathaze



(Tony Banks)



No cloud, a sleepy calm,

Sunbaked earth that's cooled by gentle breeze,

And trees with rustling leaves,

Only endless days without a care,

Nothing must be done.



Silent as a day can be,

Far-off sounds of others on their chosen run

As they do all those things they feel give life some meaning,

Even if they're dull.



It's time to stop this dreaming, must rejoin the real world

As revealed by orange lights and a smoky atmosphere.



The trees and I are shaken by the same wind but whereas

The trees will lose their withered leaves,

I just can't seem to let them loose.

And they can't refresh me those hot winds of the south.

Oh I feel like an alien, a stranger in an alien place.



Now the light is fading fast,

Chances slip away, a time will come to pass

When there'll be none,

Then addicted to a perfumed poison,

Betrayed by its aftertaste,

Oh we shall lose the wonder and find nothing in return.

Many are the substitutes but they're powerless on their own.



Beware the fisherman who's casting out his line

Into a dried up river bed,

But don't try to tell him 'cos he won't believe you.

Throw some bread to the ducks instead, it's easier that way.

I feel like an alien, a stranger in an alien place.



The trees and I are shaken by the same wind but whereas

The trees will lose their withered leaves,

I just can't seem to let them loose.

And they can't refresh me those hot winds of the south.

I feel like an alien, a stranger in an alien place.

DOLLY PARTON lyrics - For The Good Times



(Kris Kristofferson)



Don't look so sad I know it's over

But life goes on and this old world will keep on turning

Let's just be glad we had some time to spend together

There's no need to watch the bridges that were burning



Lay your head upon my pillow

Hold your warm and tender body close to mine

Hear the whisper of the rain drops

Blowing soft against the window

And make believe you love me one more time

For the good times



I'll get along and you'll find another

And I'll be here if you should find you ever need

Don't say a word about tomorrow or forever

They'll be time enough for sadness when you leave me



Lay your head upon my pillow

Hold your warm and tender body close to mine

Hear the whisper of the rain drops

Blowing soft against the window

And make believe you love me one more time

For the good times



For the good times

For the good times


JOHN DENVER lyrics - The Coventry Carol



(Traditional)



Lullay, thou little tiny child, by, by, lully, lullay.

Lullay, thou little tiny child, by, by, lully, lullay.

O sisters too, how may we do, for to preserve this day,

this poor youngling for whom we sing, by, by, lully, lullay.



Herod the king in his regime charged he hath this day,

His men of night, in his own sight, all children young to slay.

Then woe is me, poor child, for thee, and ever mourn and say,

For thy parting not say, nor sing, by, by, lully, lullay.

Lullay, thou little tiny child, by, by, lully, lullay.

Lullay, thou little tiny child, by, by, lully, lullay.

O sisters too, how may we do, for to preserve this day,

this poor youngling for whom we sing, by, by, lully, lullay.


FRANK ZAPPA lyrics - "A Different Octave"



Spider: We are. . . actually the same note, but. . .

John: But different octave

Spider: Right. We are 4,928 octaves below the big note

Monica: Are ya. . . are you trying to tell me that. . . that this whole universe revolves around one note?

Spider: No, it doesn't revolve around it; that's what it is. It's one note



Spider: Everybody knows that lights are notes. Light, light, is just a vibration of the note, too. Everything is

Monica: That one note makes everything else so insignificant

John: What about negative light?

Spider: Pigs use it for a tambourine, which is one of the reasons why their music is so hard to understand

MARIAH CAREY lyrics - When I Saw You



Soft heavenly eyes gazed into me

Transcending space and time

And I was rendered still

There were no words for me to find at all

As I stood there beside myself

I could see you and no-one else



When I saw you

When I saw you

I could not breathe

I fell so deep

When I saw you

When I saw you

I'd never be

I'd never be the same



Only once in a lifetime love rushes in

Changing you with the tide

And dawn's ribbon of light

Bursts through the dark

Wakening you inside

And I thought it was all untrue

Until there, all at once, I knew



When I saw you

When I saw you

I could not breathe

I fell so deep

When I saw you

When I saw you

I'd never be

I'd never be the same



With no beginning

And without an end

You are the one for me

And it's evident

And your eyes told me so

Your eyes let me know



When I saw you

When I saw you

I could not breathe

I fell so deep

When I saw you

When I saw you

I'd never be

I'd never be the same

GLENN HUGHES lyrics - Don't Look Away



If I could give you something

I would give you my soul to you

And I would never leave you

Now what am I to do?



The valley that we walk through

Is filled with despair

Life is a lonely river

But I'll be waiting here



Be still, be here, don't hide from me

Just try to be the one that you can

Time to remember

And try to discover

Don't look away



The elevator moves slowly

And I can hardly catch my breath

And I would never scold you

I'll see it through



Jag дlskar dig

Jag behцver dig nu

Min lilla blomma



Jag дlskar dig

Jag behцver dig nu

Min lilla blomma


THE TEMPTATIONS WITH THE SUPREMES lyrics - Eleanor Rigby



Eleanor Rigby

Picks up the rice in the church

Where a wedding has been

Lives in a dream

Waits at the window

Wearing a face

That she keeps in a jar by the door

Who is it for?



All the lonely people

Where do they all come from?

All the lonely people

Where do they all belong?



Father McKenzie writing the words

To a sermon that no one will hear

Oh, no one comes near

Look at him working

Darning the socks in the night

When there's nobody there

Nobody cares



All the lonely people

Where do they all come from?

All the lonely people

Where do they all belong?

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN lyrics - 4th Of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)



Sandy the fireworks are hailin' over Little Eden tonight

Forcin' a light into all those stoned-out faces left stranded on this Fourth of July

Down in town the circuit's full with switchblade lovers so fast so shiny so sharp

As the wizards play down on Pinball Way on the boardwalk way past dark

And the boys from the casino dance with their shirts open like Latin lovers along the shore

Chasin' all them silly New York girls



Sandy the aurora is risin' behind us

The pier lights our carnival life forever

Love me tonight for I may never see you again

Hey Sandy girl



Now the greasers they tramp the streets or get busted for trying to sleep on the beach all night

Them boys in their spiked high heels ah Sandy their skins are so white

And me I just got tired of hangin' in them dusty arcades bangin' them pleasure machines

Chasin' the factory girls underneath the boardwalk where they promise to unsnap their jeans

And you know that tilt-a-whirl down on the south beach drag

I got on it last night and my shirt got caught

And that Joey kept me spinnin' I didn't think I'd ever get off



Oh Sandy the aurora is risin' behind us

The pier lights our carnival life on the water

Runnin' down the beach at night with my boss's daughter

Well he ain't my boss no more Sandy



Sandy the angels have lost their desire for us

I spoke to 'em just last night and they said they won't set themselves on fire for us anymore

Every summer when the weather gets hot they ride that road down from heaven on their Harleys they come and they go

And you can see 'em dressed like stars in all the cheap little seashore bars parked making love with their babies out on the Kokomo

Well the cops finally busted Madame Marie for tellin' fortunes better than they do

This boardwalk life for me is through

You know you ought to quit this scene too



Sandy the aurora's rising behind us

The pier lights our carnival life forever

Oh love me tonight and I promise I'll love you forever

ASIA lyrics - Under The Gun



(Downes/Payne)



As the world is caving in

From the pressures of the day

And you feel that you can't win

But you know you'll have to stay



We have to toe the line

It's so hard to take the pace

You're a better man that I

In the perfect human race



So... we live... Under The Gun...

We live... Under The Gun.



See the writing on the wall

In the city's caves of steel

Hear the echoes of the night

Will the anger ever heal?



So... we live... Under The Gun...

We live... Under The Gun... we live...

Under The Gun... we live...



Your mind control, your gift of lies

You brother, dear we're screaming

You said you cared, we needed you

You mother, now you're leaving



So... we live... Under The Gun...

We live... Under The Gun...

We live... Under The Gun... we live...

Under The Gun...

CARPENTERS lyrics - One Love



One love in my young life

Took me somewhere I had never been

And I want to live again, breathe again

In the shelter of his brightly woven love song

So long I have wanted love to be

Sitting just this near to me

Now my waiting heart is free



(*) Few are the choices we are given

The sands of time pass quickly by

One dream of my young life

Now stands holding out his hand to me

Now I can’t help but believe that my whole life will be

Spent in one love



Repeat (*)



Spent in one love

Spent in one love


MARIAH CAREY lyrics - How Much



The way I feel for you

I can't describe

It's almost too intense

To verbalize

Essentially you're all

I'm living for

And basically each day

I need you more and more



[Chorus:]

Have you even been so enamored baby

That's how much I love you

All I need in this life, you see

Is me and my boyfriend

Have you ever feit lost

When you know you gotta leave me

That's how much I love you



Love is yours and mine

Till the very end

Just me and my boyfriend



Don't underestimate the love in me

It's obvious these feelings run so deep

I fail and fail for you day after day

Nobody eise could ever take your place



[Chorus]



You don't gotta waste your time and worry

You don't gotta look for reassurance

'Cause elearly you're the only one that's getting this and

Sugar I don't need nobody else

But you

And honey I ain't letting go too soon

Because 1 can't get enough

Why you asking how much?

It's more than you can handle baby



[Chorus]

RINGO STARR lyrics - Simple Love Song



(Richard Starkey and Vini Poncia)



Oh my, i'm riding so high,

I keep telling myself that you love me.

Oh my, i'm up in the sky,

But i still see you so far above me.



Cheap thrills, well, i've had my fill,

They just empty your heart and your pocket.

Oo-wee, well, it's good to be

Riding your love like a rocket.



Well, i hope you understand,

But now i'm just a one woman man.

Before the sun goes down,

Ooh, i wanna see you,

Ooh, i wanna see you again.



Right now, i still wonder how,

I keep asking myself am i dreaming?

We two, it's just me and you,

You have given this song a new meaning.



Well, i hope you understand,

But now i'm just a one woman man.

Before the sun goes down,

Ooh, i wanna see you,

Ooh, i wanna see you again.



Right now!



(doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo, it's a simple love song)

(doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo, it's a simple love song)



(mm-mm-mm, simple love song)

(mm-mm-mm, simple love song)



We two, it's just me and you,

Keep on wearing my love like a locket.

Sweet thing, well, i buy a new ring,

If that's what it takes, then you got it.



(doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo, it's a simple love song)

(doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo, it's a simple love song)

(doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo, it's a simple love song)

(doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo)

It's a simple love song,

(doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo)

It's a simple love song,

(doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo)


FLEETWOOD MAC lyrics - Like Crying



She's got so much blues

Her best friend can't help her

Her best friends a woman

How can a woman help her

Woman's got the blues



She just feels like crying

She just feels like dying

Woman's got the blues



She just feels like dying

She just feels like dying

Woman's got the blues



Womans got the blues

STEVIE NICKS lyrics - Free Fallin'



(T. Petty, J. Lynne)



[Appears on Party of Five soundtrack (1996)]



She's a good girl

Loves her mama

Loves Jesus and America, too



She's a good girl

Crazy 'bout Elvis

Loves horses and her boyfriend, too



It's a long day living in Reseda

There's a freeway running through the yard

He's a bad boy 'cause he doesn't even miss her

He's a bad boy for breaking her heart



I'm free

I'm free fallin'



All the vampires walking through the Valley

Move west down Ventura Boulevard

All the bad boys standing in the shadows

All the good girls are home with broken hearts



I want to glide down over Mulholland

I want to write your name in the sky

I want to free fall out into nothing

I want to leave this world for a while


KMFDM lyrics - Torture



My motivations unresolved

Things are just never what they seem

Apathy's currencies deceit

Pitch bending radiated dreams



The jackal's wishing well forgotten

Dark cloud sunrise

The view of someone somewhere else is

Burnt in my eyes



How long dug up remains

How low the rotting fame

How low to see right through

Low long the hole i knew

How low the clear eyed staind

How long to set aflame

How low to be set up

How long and taken out



The ant-like karma from the crack in a hand

Full painting on a mural in a foreign landfill

Mind controlled by the pulley of the strings

So remote the view from the puppetry swingset



My reservations have evolved

Scenes once negated ushered in

Mercy killings one to one defend

Visionary criminals descend

On knees all burning



A term of useless lifeless thought

What a paid ride

Alchemic jail cell vivisection

Text subject day job



How long to pacify

How low you still deny

How low from up above



How long the creeping crown

How low the tripping sound

How long to kick back down

How low the holy cheat

How long the leap of faith



These revelations undermined

Controlled belief in leads mankind

Each penny sold and mesmerized

We're stoned

Two fold reversal beckoning



The binding crayon words inverted

Justice in travestia



We worship acid moans and curbside holidays

Recycle shit we throw away in glossy packaged craze

Maybe in a day or so i'll stumble on that grassy knoll

To set the record straight

Announcing to myself: wake up



We kill everything that's not tied down

We euthanize but keep alive the lowest form of prison life

So useful and experimental

Treatment of the sick and dying

What about the torture?


ERIC BURDON lyrics - Monterey



(Burdon/Weider/Briggs/McCulloch/Jenkins)



The people came and listened

Some of them came and played

Others gave flowers away, yes they did

Down in Monterey

Down in Monterey



Young Gods smiled upon the crowd

Their music being born of love

Children danced night and day

Religion was being born

Down in Monterey



The birds and the airplane did fly

Oh, Ravi Shankars music made me cry

The Who exploded into fire and light

Hugh Masakela's music was black as night

The Grateful Dead blew everybodies mind

Jimi Hendrix baby, believe me, set the world on fire, yeah

His Majesty, Prince Jones, smiled as he moved among the crowd

Ten thousand electric guitars were grooving real loud, yeah



You want to find the truth in life

Don't pass music by

And you know I would not lie, no I would not lie,

No, I would not lie

Down in Monterey



Three days of understanding of moving with one another

Even the cops grooved with us

Do you believe me, yeah?

Down in Monterey



I think that maybe I'm dreaming

Monterey

Down in monterey

Did you hear what I said?

DORO PESCH lyrics - Under The Gun



Tell me no secrets

and ill tell you an lies

the future has been twisted

and rehearsed for its demise

The warning lights are flashin'

and their circlin' in the sky

but no one feels the sinners blow

it's right before their eyes



The wicked watch their heroes

with evil on their minds

While reachin' out for heaven's gate

there shots ring through the night

Hellbent for thunder

We're racin' with the time

but no one knows which way to go

and no one knows to try



5 million reasons with 10 million pieces to go

Wheelers and dealers with nothing but dreams of control

I helieve, we're under the gun

I heheec, we're under the gun

Sold out to madness

Prisoners of sadness

I believe, we're under the gun

We're under the gun



In the land of milk and money

the devil has his spies

While workin' undercover

they all keep a watchful eye

Buildin' up their underworld

their rotten to the bone

Crossin' out the others

while their sellin' out their own



5 million reasons with 10 million pieces to go

Wheelers and dealers with nothing but dreams of control

I helieve, we're under the gun

I heheec, we're under the gun

Sold out to madness

Prisoners of sadness

I believe, we're under the gun

We're under the gun



5 million reasons with 10 million pieces to go

Wheelers and dealers with nothing but dreams of control

I helieve, we're under the gun

I heheec, we're under the gun

Sold out to madness

Prisoners of sadness

Sold out to madness

Prisoners of sadness

I believe, we're under the gun

We're under the gun


ERIC BURDON & THE ANIMALS lyrics - No Self Pitty



(Burdon, Briggs, Weider, Jenkins, McCulloch)



Electric light shines bright

But against the sun it is dim

Jet airplanes sure travel fast,

But how fast is the speed of light?

And no matter how low you are

There is always somebody lower

And no matter how slow you are

There is always somebody slower



Modern day structures are fantastic

But have you seen a butterfly's wings?

Man has created symphony

But have you heard a blackbird sing?

And no matter how dumb you are,

There is always somebody dumber

And no matter how fine you are

There is always somebody finer



I am blind, I am blind,

But I see behind my eyes



Man can make sweet red wine

But have you tasted a mountain stream

Hollywood has created movies

But listen to the color of your dreams

And no matter how ugly you are

There is no such thing as ugly

And no matter how bad you are

There is always someone to forgive you

And no matter how fine you are

There is always somebody finer

And no matter how low you are

There is always somebody lower

And no matter how fast you are,

There is always somebody faster

Faster, faster, faster, faster, faster, faster, and faster, and faster

And slower, and lower, and finer, and finer, and slower, and faster, and lower...


QUEEN lyrics - Too Much Love Will Kill You



(May, Musker, Lamers)



I'm just the pieces of the man I used to be

Too many bitter tears raining down on me

I'm far away from home

And I've been facing this alone for much too long

I feel like no-one ever told the truth to me

About growing up and what a struggle it would be

In my tangled state of mind

I've been looking back to find where I went wrong



Too much love will kill you

If you can't make up your mind

Torn between a lover and the love you leave behind

You're headed for disaster 'cos you never read the signs

Too much love will kill you - every time



I'm just the shadow of the man I used to be

And it seems there's no way out this for me

I used to bring you sunshine

Now all I ever do is bring you down

How would it be if you were standing in my shoes

Can't you see that it's impossible to choose

No there's making sense of it

Every way I go I have to lose



Too much love will kill you

Just as sure as none at all.

It'll drain the power that's in you

Make you plead and scream and crawl

And the pain will make you crazy

You're the victim of your crime

Too much love will kill you

Every time



Too much love will kill you

It'll make your life a lie

Yes, too much love will kill you

And you won't understand why

You'd give your life you'd sell your soul

But here it comes again

Too much love will kill you

In the end...

In the end.


ZUCCHERO lyrics - Jimmy Jimmy



(Zucchero - Cheope)



Jimmy Jimmy

Balla sui dispiaceri

Balla sopra le tue ansie di ieri

E sulla speranza di oggi avvilita



Jimmy Jimmy

Che la rabbia diventi

Una forza di mille correnti

Con te che ritorni la voglia di vita



Con te

Che la trucida follia

Lasci posto alla poesia

Da respirare insieme all'aria

Con te

Che la musica scateni

Una scintilla e arcobaleni

Rasserenino il mondo



Jimmy Jimmy

Coi tuoi muscoli vivi

Balla e lascia stare i dubbi cattivi

Perche l'innocenza e la luce dell'uomo



Jimmy Jimmy

Nei tuoi gesti ci sono

Adesso i misteri del sesso

Le radici felici di un uomo



Con te

Che la trucida follia

Lasci posto alla poesia

Da respirare insieme all'aria

Con te

Che la musica scateni

Una scintilla e arcobaleni

Rasserenino il mondo



Riprendi fiato adesso per un momento

Aspetta che calmi il vento

L'amore e nell'aria e vola


GREEN DAY lyrics - All The Time



All the time, every time I need it.

What's the time?

I'd say the time is right.

Here's to me.

Let's find another reason.

Down the hatch and a bad attitude.

Salud.



Wasting time

Wasting time down a bum fuck road.

And I don't know where the hell it'll go.

Heirlooms and huffing fumes, and I'm picking up the pace

and I'm gonna smash straight into a wall.



All the time.

A "New Year's Resolution"

How soon that we forget.

Doing time.

Loving every minute.

Live it up on another let down.

Salud.



Promises, promises, it was all set in stone, cross my heart and hope to die.

Sugar fix, dirty tricks and a trick question.

Guess i should have read between the lines.

Having the time of my life, watching the clock tick.



All the time, where did all the time go?

It's too late to say goodnight.

Time flies when you're having fun.

Time's up when you work like a dog.

Salud.

ROY ORBISON lyrics - Blue Bayou



(Roy Orbison/Joe Melson)



I feel so bad, I've got a worried mind

I'm so lonesome all the time

Since I left my baby behind

On Blue Bayou



Saving nickels, saving dimes

Working 'til the sun don't shine

Looking forward to happier times

On Blue Bayou



I'm going back some day

Come what may

To Blue Bayou

Where you sleep all day

And the catfish play

On Blue Bayou



All those fishing boats

With their sails afloat

If I could only see

That familiar sunrise

Through sleepy eyes

How happy I'd be



Go to see my baby again

And to be with some of my friends

Maybe I'd be happy then

On Blue Bayou



Saving nickels, saving dimes

Working 'til the sun don't shine

Looking forward to happier times on Blue Bayou

I'm going back some day

Gonna stay on Blue Bayou



Where the folks are fine

And the world is mine

On Blue Bayou

Ah, that girl of mine by my side

The silver moon and the evening tide

Oh some sweet day

Gonna take away this hurtin' inside

I'll never be blue

My dreams come true

On Blue Bayou

BLUE OYSTER CULT lyrics - E. T.I. (Extra Terrestrial Intelligence)



I hear the music, daylight disc

Three men in black said, "Don't report this"

"Ascension," and that's all they said

Sickness now, the hour's dread



All praise

He's found the awful truth, Balthazar

He's found the saucer news



I'm in fairy rings and tower beds

"Don't report this," three men said

Books by the blameless and by the dead

King in yellow, queen in red



All praise

He's found the awful truth, Balthazar

He's found the saucer news



Dead leaves always give up motion

I no longer feel the motion

Where prophecy fails, the falling motion

"Don't report this, agents of fortune"



All praise

He's found the awful truth, Balthazar

He's found the saucer news


LORETTA LYNN AND CONWAY TWITTY lyrics - God Bless America Again



(Bobby Bare - Boice Hawkins)



God bless America again you see all the troubles that she's in

Wash her pretty face dry her eyes and then God bless America again



God I sure to wish you bless America again

You know like you did way back when it all began

You blessed her then but we just sorta kinda took it for granted

And never did ask again

So just hold her hand God that's all

And if she should stumble please don't let her fall

God bless America again...



You know I don't understand every thing I'm readin' here

About what's wrong with America

But when you don't have a lotta book learnin'

I guess there's a lotta things you don't understand

But let me say this God she's like a mother to me

And all I am or ever hoped to be I owe to you and to her

Wash her pretty face dry her eyes and then God bless America again


U. D.O. lyrics - Living On A Frontline



Bad days are coming

Back into my head

They're looking for trouble, is that alright

You know you've seen them before



And now they're turning

Into the deepest nights

Shadows on the wall - don't surrender at all

You're not alone this time



Do or die - you'll always be on the run

Like a soldier in time - rain or shine

Aces high - you'd better be on the ball

Don't move outta the way - stand for what you've gotta say



We're living on a frontline

Always trying not to go

We're living on a frontline

It's much more than enough this time

We're living on a frontline



Now you start searching

For a better life

Better not look back - go straight ahead

Just be yourself all the time



Do or die - you'll always be on the run

Like a soldier in time - rain or shine

Aces high - you'd better be on the ball

Don't move outta the way - stand for what you've gotta say



We're living on a frontline

Always trying not to go

We're living on a frontline

It's much more than enough this time



We're living - living on a frontline

Always trying not to go

We're living on a frontline

It's much - it's much too much this time

Go ahead this time

Ah, we're living on a frontline



Ah, it's a bad game

I've told you before

So stay away from the frontline

And your friends next door



You say you're lonely

But I don't want them no more

But one day - you're gonna see

They're gonna disappear



We're living on a frontline

Always trying not to go

We're living on a frontline

It's much more than enough this time



We're living - living on the frontline

Always trying not to go

We're living on a frontline

It's much - it's much too much this time



On a frontline


VANESSA WILLIAMS lyrics - The Right Stuff



I was standin' at 7:15

Waitin' for my baby's car

Just when out stepped the driver of a limousene

And asked if I was going far



I said I've got my mind made up

I don't want to leave here baby cause it's clear to me

That it's just too tough to find another lover like mine



With (I mean the) right stuff

(I got to have) the right stuff baby

I don't want to miss out on the right stuff

(Ooh no with mister right stuff)



I just found him a week ago

He's gonna call me on the phone and say

I live in Paris, don't you want to go

I know you must be alone



Well it's take more than a fancy trick

Or chauffeured limousene for I have never seen

No one who can give me lovin' like this

The other fellas don't compare



With (I mean the) right stuff

(I got to have) the right stuff baby

I don't want to miss out on the right stuff

(Ooh no with mister right stuff)



He's the only one to give me that lovin'

Cause next to him there is no other one

He' very sexy, oh so sweet

Knocks me off my feet, sing

Ooh yeah, let me sing it again



With (I mean the) right stuff

(I got to have) the right stuff baby

I don't want to miss out on the right stuff

(Ooh no with mister right stuff)


JANE'S ADDICTION lyrics - So What!



Man ain't meant to work

C'mon build a machine!

So we can sleep and make love deeper

Later we can dance and we can drink!

Man ain't meant to work

C'mon build a machine!

So we can live for our own pleasure

Please yourself!

Please your queens!

Early morning the sun is yawning

I am not kind yet

I am certain

I have no doubt

Life is for playing

Days like these I hardly disagree

So what!

That's my conclusion

I think I'm gonna dig myself now


BAD RELIGION lyrics - Henchman



Stranded

In a life in which your struggle for acceptance

Is a never-ending chore,

Upbraided

For your actions past and present and rewarded for the ideas

Of the future's bright open door.

The henchman

Is the human analogue of the suffering multitudes

Who like good dogs sit and lick for their reward.

So what good advice have I got for you

To insure against your likely metamorphosis into this reprobate?

Don't be a henchman,

Stand on your laurels,

Do what no one else does and praise the good of other men

For good man's sake.

And when everyone else in the world follows your lead

(Although a cold day in hell it will surely be)

That's when the entire world shall live in harmony.

QUEEN LATIFAH lyrics - Princess Of The Posse



Basslines affect me when my rhymes direct me

Forgive the crowds, O Lord, they know not why they sweat me

Biting's against the law in the place that I live

So I lock up the door with the keys to my crib

The call me the high priestess of this hasta

Although I'm not a dread and not a rasta

There's never been a word I can't master

I've always been, a piddly pastor

I reign, the lesson of today

You have to listen to each and every single word I have to say

Because the Ruler Lord Ramsey is on my side

And I'm the princess of the posse, so yo, take it light



The Princess of the Posse, me say she a cool one

She rhyme on my record and she ram jam me gun

The Princess of the Posse, me say she a cool girl

She rhyme Brooklyn, the Bronx, USA, the world



You try to dissect my rhymes to see if there's a pattern

I bounced it all around you like the rings around Saturn

Let me know now if you'd like to protest

And proceeding a greeting, or would you rather progress

Onto a higher plateau, to the peak and I'm taking it slow

Enough for you to see the knowledge and to know

I'm the Q-U-E-E-N, L-A-T-I-F-A-H

Queen of the R. E. Posse the GLA which is

Get Live Alright, you standing there chewing on your fingernails

Nervous, watching me doing the live thing

Singing like a bird sing, ringing like the phone ring

I'm the Queen and you're the underling

I'm never following, I follow none

The princess of the posse is a cool one



The Princess of the Posse, me say she a cool one

She rhyme on my record and she ram jam me gun

The Princess of the Posse, me say she a cool girl

She rhyme Brooklyn, the Bronx, USA, the world



I'm the queen of the clan, with a mic in my hand

I step over suckers to position myself to rule this land

It's a concoction, for my ability

To show the skeezers the meaning of humility

Cause they don't know I'm the one to fly one or two

I'm snatching hearts cause I'm Latifah and I want to

I find it necessary to tell you to get off my tip

I'm kicking gold so grab a hold and get a good grip

Stop the lying, the trying

The time buying, you've been denying

You're dependent on me, the princess of the posse

I got the cards, so I'm dealing a death blow

You're taking no crowns, put that on cease

My DJ's name is Mark the 45 King to the posse

Peace, got to let you know where I come from

The princess of the posse is a cool one



The Princess of the Posse, me say she a cool one

She rhyme on my record and she ram jam me gun

The Princess of the Posse, me say she a cool girl

She rhyme Brooklyn, the Bronx, USA, the world



Now take run the family

Me say me have to do it for the R. E. posse

You try to be down, you can't take the crown

Maybe from someone else but not me [2x]


SADE lyrics - Every Word



(Love is what the word was)



I saw a picture

How could you be so careless

How could you have done that to us

And I write this letter

I send it all back to you

And every word you said



[1] - In there every word, oh oh oh oh

How could you have done that to us



You treated me like a stranger

And all the time I was loving you

All your slick moves

They were once innocent moves

I wanted to look up to you

I really trusted you

And every word you said

Every word you said

Every word you said

(Love is what the word was)

(Love is what the word was)



Every word you said

Every word you said



[Repeat 2]



Every word you said

Every word you said

(Love is what the word was)

I send it back to you, yeah

(Love is what the word was)



Every word you said

Every word you said

(Love is what the word was)

I send it all back to you, yeah

(Love is what the word was)


FRANK ZAPPA lyrics - Switching Girls



Motorhead: I keep switching girls all the time, because if I'm able to find a girl with really a groovy car that ain't build up, man, I'll go steady with her for a while until I'd build up her car and blow out the engine!


REBA MCENTIRE lyrics - Before I Met You



(Charles L. Seitz/Joe Lewis/Elmer Rader)



Well I thought I had seen good looking men in my time

That was before I met you

And I never saw one that I wanted for mine

But that was before I met you



Well I thought I was swinging the world by the tail

I thought I could never be blue

I thought I'd been kissed

And I thought I'd been loved

But that was before I met you



Well I wanted to ramble and always be free

That was before I met you

And I said that nobody could ever hold me

But that was before I met you



Well I thought I was swinging the world by the tail

I thought I could never be blue

I thought I'd been kissed

And I thought I'd been loved

But that was before I met you



I thought I'd been kissed

And I thought I'd been loved

But that was before I met you

Darling that was before I met you


ACCEPT lyrics - Restless And Wild



They're running wild

They're on a down hill ride

Like a rebel they look for more

Too young to die



Now you know your dreams are useless

And there 're lies You'll never tell



'cause you're so

Restless - restless and wild

Restless - restless and wild

Restless - restless and wild

Restless - restless and wild



Star born lovers

Angels in the night on a highway

They don't look back

Everybody's lost the way - yeah



The little girl wants to be an actress

Young boys are easy riders



They live so

Restless - restless and wild

Restless - restless and wild

Restless - restless and wild

Restless - restless and wild



Stay down - time will roll on

How do you feel when the night is gone

Stay down - time will come 'round

You are the man made for highway life

For the highway life



City lights moving on

No tomorrows - no destinations

Like a wheel turning on and on

You're a man born to run



Every world that you have seen was senseless

Keep moving on there's no other way



Cause you're so



Restless - restless and wild

Restless - restless and wild

Restless - restless and wild

Restless - restless and wild

THE HOLLIES lyrics - It's You



(Clarke / Hicks / Nash)



Don't raise your voice to me

And don't be unkind

I'm just a foolish man

Who doesn't know his mind

There is a reason

I don't love you like I should

And it's you

Yes, it's you

Oh it's you



Try understanding

I'm a simple man at heart

The way you carry on

I think we'll drift apart

I can't afford to live

The way you want us to

So, it's you

Yes, it's you

Oh, it's you



Why can't I love you

Why can't I love you

Cause I'm not the kind of man you are looking for



If everything is wrong

We'll go our separate way

You'll have to find a man

Who does just what you say

To break up is a shame

It spoils the chance we had

But it's you

Yes, it's you

Oh, it's you



Why can't I love you

Why can't I love you

Cause I'm not the kind of man you are looking for



If everything is wrong

We'll go our separate way

You'll have to find a man

Who does just what you say

To break up is a shame

It spoils the chance we had

But it's you

Yes, it's you

Oh, it's you


NEIL YOUNG lyrics - Feel Your Love



High on a balcony,

right where we used to be,

This city dancing

like a sparkling sea.

I wanna catch a wave,

I wanna swim to shore.

Walk on that same beach

like I did before.



I really want the sun,

want the sun to rise,

I really want

to end the night.

I really wanna feel,

wanna feel your love.

I wanna feel your love.



I think of our old friends,

I count my enemies.

I hear you tell me how

I don't know love.

I wanna feel your love,

I wanna lay right down.

Wish I was swimming

in the sound of love.



I really want the night,

want the night to end.

I really want

the sun to rise.

I really wanna feel,

wanna feel your love.

I wanna feel your love.



And now the night is still,

the mansion on the hill,

The children sleeping

in their endless dreams.

I wanna feel your love,

I wanna feel your love,

I wanna feel your love,

feel your love,

feel your love.



I wanna feel your love,

I wanna feel your love,

I wanna feel your love,

feel your love,

feel your love.


TOM WAITS lyrics - Whistle Down The Wind



(Tom Waits)



I've grown up here now

All of my life

But I dreamed

Someday I'd go

Where blue eyed girls

And red guitars and

Naked rivers flow



I'm not all I thought I'd be

I always stayed around

I've been as far as Mercy and Grand

Frozen to the ground

I can't stay here and I'm scared to leave

(Just kiss me once and then)

I'll go to hell

I might as well

Be whistlin' down the wind



The bus at the corner

The clock's on the wall

Broken windmill

There's no wind at all

I've yelled and I cursed

If i stay here I'll rust

I'm stuck like a shipwreck

Out here in the dust



Sky is red

And there world's on fire

And the corn is taller than me

The dog is tied

To a wagon of rain

And the road is as wet as the sea

And sometimes the music from a dance

Will carry across the plains

And the places that I'm dreaming of

Do they dream only of me?

There are places where they never sleep

And the circus never ends

So I will take the Marley Bone Coach

And whistle down the wind


NEIL DIAMOND lyrics - Me Beside You



Could've been me beside you, baby

Could've been me beside you

But I wasn't smart



Isn't it kind of funny, baby

Isn't it kind of funny,

Two of us apart



Sayin' it's kind of funny, baby

But it's the kind of funny

That can break your heart



All through the night

I can see you

All through the night

I call your name

Close my eyes and

I see you coming back to me

Wonder, could it be that way again

And I lie awake

And think of what we could have been

While you're lying there with him



Could've been me beside you, baby

Could've been me beside you

I should be that guy



Sayin' it's kind of funny

But it's the kind of funny

That can make you cry



All through the night

I can see you

All through the night

I call your name

Close my eyes and

I see you coming back to me

But I know that it's only in my head

'Cause I lie awake

And think of what I should have said

And you're there with him instead



Should've been me beside you, baby

Should've been me beside you

I should be that guy



Never had time to take you dancin'

Never had time for dancin'

And I don't know why



Isn't it time we got together

Isn't it time we try it

Back to you and I



Could've been me beside you, baby

Could've been me beside you

I should be that guy



Could've been me beside you, baby

Could've been me beside you


STEVE EARLE lyrics - Nowhere Road



(Steve Earle, Reno Kling)



There's a road, in Oklahoma

Straighter than a preacher

Longer than a memory

And it goes, forever onward

Been a good teacher

For a lot of country boys like me

I push that load from here to someday

I'll push as long as I'm alive, but I don't know how long I'll last

'Cause it's just a road, it ain't no highway

I'm blowin' by the double five

I know I'm going way too fast



I been down this road just searching' for the end

It don't go nowhere, it just brings you back again

Leaves you lonely and cold, standin' on the shoulder

But you've come too far to go back home

So you're walkin' on a nowhere road



Some folks say, if you keep rollin'

And keep it on the yellow line

It'll take you on the big highway

But there's a toll to pay, if you're going

The keeper of the gate is blind

So you better be prepared to pay

THE CHURCH lyrics - Business Woman



Imagine her, all of her wealth

And in the arms of somebody else

I imagine her in bed

With her communication skills

Cabinet full of creams and pills

Paying the bills, being well-read

You'll never understand

The wonderful mind of that woman

Powerful beauty in her eyes



Look at that business woman

She's got a head on her shoulders

Look at that business woman

She's not that much older than you



And she reveals inner soul

Stock market flutters, index rose

When she reveals her secret life

All of the gifts come dear and swift

Promise her anything only if

You're going to have to leave your wife

She'll never understand

The wonderful mind of that woman

Beautiful power in her eyes



And when she comes the stars explode

Exquisite results in input mode

Just when she comes she's suddenly gone

Maybe you'll find her, maybe you won't

Maybe she loves you, baby she don't

Maybe you'll find that you are alone

You'll never comprehend

All of the means, all of the ends

Business woman in her eyes


STEPPENWOLF lyrics - Suicide



The spirit was freedom and justice

And it's keepers seem generous and kind

It's leaders were supposed to serve the country

But now they won't pay it no mind

'Cause the people grew fat and got lazy

And now their vote is a meaningless joke

They babble about law and order

But it's all just an echo of what they've been told

Yeah, there's a monster on the loose

It's got our heads into a noose

And it just sits there watchin'



Our cities have turned into jungles

And corruption is stranglin' the land

The police force is watching the people

And the people just can't understand

We don't know how to mind our own business

'Cause the whole worlds got to be just like us

Now we are fighting a war over there

No matter who's the winner

We can't pay the cost

'Cause there's a monster on the loose

It's got our heads into a noose

And it just sits there watching

HEART lyrics - Red Velvet Car



No need standing in the rain

Just call and tell me where you are

That icy wind will bring the pain

And I don't care if it's far



Don't sit cryin' in your room

Stealin' candy from the jar

I will be there very soon

In my red velvet car



Maybe you got hit real hard

Maybe you are on the floor

People screamin' out your name

'Cause they don't trust you anymore



I'm comin' for you, I comin' for you, I'm comin' for you, I'm comin'

Oh yeah

I'm comin' for you, I comin' for you, I'm comin' for you, yeah yeah

I'm comin', yeah yeah

Oay



So pull your weary bones inside

You can sleep while I drive

Watch the moon out on the lake, I won't even touch the brake

In my red velvet car

In my red velvet car

My red velvet car


CYNDI LAUPER lyrics - Like A Cat



(Billy Steinberg, Tom Kelly, Christina Amphlett)



I lived in your shadow

I drove your car

You thought I belonged in your four walls

I was never your bunny

I was never, never your pet

When you threw me out the window

I landed on my feet

Yeah you threw me out the window

Like a, like a, like a cat



Hey mister you can never own me

I only let you hold me like a cat

And mister you can never know me

I only let you stroke me, like a, like a



You thought I'd be purring

Curled up by your fire

Don't want to be kept for your desire

You said I should be happy

But it only made me sad

And when you could never tame me

That made you mad

No you could never tame me

Like a, like a, like a cat



Hey mister you can never own me

I only let you hold me like a cat

And mister you can never know me

I only let you stroke me



You rescued me I didn't want to be saved

I got tired of your missionary position babe



When you threw me out the window

I landed on my feet

Yeah you threw me out the window

Like, like a, like a cat



Hey mister you can never own me

I only let you hold me like a cat

And mister you can never know me



I only let you stroke me like a cat

And mister you can never know me

I only let you hold me like a



No you never can own me

Like a cat

No you never can own me

Like a cat

No you never can own me

Like a cat


PIXIES lyrics - Bailey's Walk

On parkin' lots and big highways

Daily!

The method of stop tap spin

No talkin'

Bailey's walk



The method of stop tap spin

KANSAS lyrics - Dust In The Wind



(Kerry Livgren)



I close my eyes, only for a moment, and the moment's gone

All my dreams, pass before my eyes, a curiosity

Dust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind

Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea

All we do, crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see



Dust in the wind, All we are is dust in the wind



Don't hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky

It slips away, all your money won't another minute buy



Dust in the wind, All we are is dust in the wind


KENNY LOGGINS lyrics - Nobody's Fool



[Theme From "Caddyshack II"]



I know you think I'm no match for you baby

You like being rough on me don't ya, my my my (ha ha)

Back to the shack oh yeah

Nothing suits me better than that

If time has taught me anything

Got to learn to be the ball

And I can't keep from laughing at it all (whoa)

I'm goin laugh



I'm going all the way

Sooner or later gotta love somebody

Don't care how long it takes



Like a shock to the heart

I've got news for you

I may not look so smart

But I'm nobody's fool



Oh no, that's enough for you baby

Taking it slow, it's too much for me to analyze

Still all right, heading into the rhythm of a summer night

Winds of wild insanity, blow with me tonight

Saddle up all you cowboys, gonna ride

I'm gonna ride



I'm going all the way

Sooner or later gotta love somebody

Don't care how long it takes



You can turn up the heat

But I'm playing it cool

I know it's hard to believe

I ain't nobody's fool



I'm going all the way (all the way)

Sooner or later gotta love somebody (I don't care)

Don't care how long it takes



You might think that

I have not gone to school on you

Baby like it or not

I ain't nobody's fool



My hallucination may come as some surprise

You may try to deny it

You're amazed when the clown slaps you in the face

Leaves you dumbfounded there in his way (yeah)



I'm going all the way (yeah)

Sooner or later gotta love somebody (gotta love somebody)

Don't care how long it takes



Like a shock to the heart

I've got news for you

Maybe I'm not so smart

But I'm nobody's fool



I'm going all the way (oh yeah)

I'm going all the way (I'm nobody's fool, baby,:nobody's fool)

Don't care how long it takes (I don't care)

I'm going all the way (who's fooling who?)

BOB SEGER & THE SILVER BULLET BAND lyrics - Sunspot Baby



She packed up her bags and she took off down the road

Left me here stranded with the bills she owed

She gave me a false address

Took off with my American Express

Sunspot Baby

She sure had me way outguessed



She left me here stranded like a dog out in the yard

Charged up a fortune on my credit card

She used my address and my name

Man that was sure unkind

Sunspot Baby

She sure has a real good time



I looked in Miami

I looked in Negril

The closest I came was a month old bill

I checked the Bahamas and they said she was gone

I can't understand why she did me so wrong



But she packed up her bags

And she took off down the road

Said she was going to visit sister Flo

She used my address and my name

And man that was sure unkind

Sunspot Baby

I'm gonna catch up sometime

Sure had a real good time


JEFFERSON AIRPLANE lyrics - A Song For All Seasons



Well the word was out on the street today

All the friends that I'd met would have to say

While your records line the shelves

You're fighting amongst yourselves

That's a hell of a lot of dues for you to pay

Well the word my friend you know is on the street

It's on the lips of everyone I meet

While you're climbin up the chart

Your band just fell apart

I guess your life just ain't really that complete

You know your car with which I was impressed

Well I hear that it's gonna be repossessed

Well I thought you had it made

But you ain't even paid

For the things that you've bought

Since the acid test

I hear you manager skipped town with all your pay

And your lead singer's bulge turns the censors grey

Wall that's really a doggone shame

But who's there left to blame

And all you ever really wanted was just to play

They say your drummer he's crazy as a loon

Last night they found him baying at the moon

As as for your lead guitar

He just cracked up his car

But he should be out of traction very soon

Well my friend it's time for me to go

I just can't be late for my evening show

You see I've written this tune

And I hope that very soon

I'll be heard on Top 40 radio


POWER STATION lyrics - Let's Get It On

Nothin' wrong with love

If you want to love me

Just let yourself go

Oh, baby

ARETHA FRANKLIN lyrics - Day Dreaming



(Daydreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you)

(Daydreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you)

(Daydreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you)

(Daydreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you)

(Look at my love floating away)



He's the kind of guy that would say

Hey, baby let's get away

Let's go some place, huh

Well I don't care

He's the kind of guy that you give your everything

You trust your heart, share all of your love

Till death do you part



I want to be what he wants

When he wants it and whenever he needs it

And when he's lonesome and feelin' love starved

I'll be there to feed it

I'm lovin' him a little bit more each day

Turns me right on when I hear him say



(Hey, baby, let's get away)

(Let's go somewhere far)

(Baby can we)

Well, I don't care

(Hey baby let's get away)

(Let's go somewhere far)

(Baby can we)

Well, I don't care



I wanna be what he wants when he wants it

And whenever he needs it

And when he's lonesome and feelin' loved starved

I'll be there to feed it

Lovin' him a little bit more each day

It turns me right on when I hear him say



(Hey, baby, let's get away)

(Let's go somewhere far)

(Baby can we)

Well, I don't care



(Hey baby let's get away)

(Let's go somewhere far)

(Baby can we)

Well, I don't care



(Daydreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you)

(Daydreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you)

(Daydreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you)

(Daydreamin' and I'm thinkin' of you)

(Look at my love floating away)

(Daydreaming) of you

(Daydreaming)

Thinking of you



Day... dreaming

Day... dreaming


FRANKIE VALLI AND THE FOUR SEASONS lyrics - C'mon Marianne



Marianne, Marianne, Marianne, Marianne



Whoa-ho-ho here I am on my knees again

I'll do anything just to make it right

Say you'll understand, oh I know you can

C'mon Marianne





No matter what people say, it didn't happen that way

She was a passing fling and not a permanent thing

Say you'll understand, oh I know you can



C'mon Marianne (baby)

C'mon Marianne (baby)

C'mon Marianne (baby)

Say you can understand

My Marianne, Marianne, Marianne, Marianne



Well now your big brown eyes are all full of tears

From the bitterness of my cheatin' years

So I hang my head, wish that I was dead

C'mon Marianne (baby)

C'mon Marianne (baby)

C'mon Marianne (baby)

Say you can understand

My Marianne (baby)

C'mon Marianne (baby)

C'mon Marianne (baby)

RICKY NELSON lyrics - Be True To Me



Well if I'm a fool for loving you

And I guess I've a right to be

'Cause you told me when you fell in love

That you'd fall in love with me

And since that time I'm convinced that I'm

The one who's meant for you

So be true, be true, be true, be true to me



My friends all say that I'm just a fool

To sit home all alone

And to be content with a few love words

I hear on the telephone

But oh so precious are those tender words

I hear from you, that you'll

Be true, be true, be true, be true to me



I'll wait and waych the days go by

Untill we come of age

And to our precious book of love

We'll add another page

A page that says these two will walk

Together all life through, that you'll

Be true, be true, be true, be true to me
