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
[Repeat 1]
(Love is what the word was)
[2] - I was loving you like a child
All the time you were smiling
The same smile
I was loving you like a child
I really trusted you
Every word you said
Every word you said
(Love is what the word was)
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!
It's crazy... Yeah!
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
(Marvin Gaye, Ed Townsend)

I've been sanctified
Hey, hey
Girl, you give me good feelings, so good
Nothin' wrong with love
If you want to love me
Just let yourself go
Oh, baby
Let's get it on
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)
Marianne, Marianne, Marianne, Marianne

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
