ERIC CLAPTON lyrics - Danger

Danger

She's out into the night

Danger

She's such a pretty sight

She was treated so badly it seems

Now she's looking full of dreams



Danger

She's out into the night

Danger

She walks the streets alone

Danger

All above she now knows

All the men that look her way

Could be hers, hers today



Danger

She's out into the night

Locked into a love affair

Didn't seem to go nowhere

With no choice she thought she might

Rush out of the way and rowd into the night



Danger

She walks the streets alone

All above she now knows

All the men that look her way

Could be hers today

The risk you take, defines your moment

She don't know where, or whom

She wants to do, doing it right

She's going out, to the night



Danger

She's out into the night

Danger

She's such a pretty sight

Danger

She's out into the night

Danger

She's such a pretty sight

Danger

She's out into the night

Danger

She's such a pretty sight

STATUS QUO lyrics - Elizabeth Dreams

(Wilde/Scott)



Elizabeth dreams of the day when the way

That I looked at her made her feel she was real

Elizabeth dreams of the time she was mine

When she didn't need any more, she was sure

She was sure



Out of sight, by candlelight

And sea green, and see green horses

I said she's out of sight by candlelight??

And fairy, fairy stories

Elizabeth is not what she seems

Elizabeth dreams, Elizabeth dreams



Elizabeth dreams, holding fast through the past

When a morning was something new, flowers grew

Elizabeth dreams but it's late and she's waited too long

And tomorrow goes, now she knows

Now she knows



Out of sight by candlelight

And sea green, and sea green horses

I said she's out of sight, by candlelight

And fairy, fairy stories

Elizabeth is not what she seems

Elizabeth dreams, Elizabeth dreams

Elizabeth dreams



Elizabeth dreams, Elizabeth dreams

Elizabeth dreams

PETE SEEGER lyrics - Crawly Creepy Little Mousie

Crawly creepy little mousie,

From the barnie to the housie.

In the pantry under the shelf!

Found some cheese and helped himself.

Nibble nibble nibble nibble!

ANTHRAX lyrics - Soldiers Of Metal

We are fighting for your lives

Oooh, we are the soldiers in the line of fire



Down in the trenches we wait for the night

The time is approaching

We're ready to strike



We'll stop at nothing

There's no holding back

Born to raise hell

We will attack



Pounding away

Tearing through flesh

Soldiers of metal

Fight to the death



Blasting the cannons

Shaking the ground

Hacking and killing

We're not fooling around



Warriors in battle

All dressed in black

A slash and a thrust

A stab in the back



The rages of fury

The cause of the fight

We're soldiers of metal

And we rule the night

BOB MARLEY lyrics - Riding High

You've been riding

You've been riding quite a while, child

(keep on riding, keep on riding)

You've been jiving

Like a peacock, that's your style

(keep on jiving), ooh (keep on jiving)



Now I remember the days in school

There wasn't a time when you didn't treat me cruel

Ooh, wait till I get my hooks on you

I'll show you what a fisherman can do



You're riding

Been riding quite a while, child

(keep on riding, keep on riding)

You've been jiving

Like a peacock, that's your style

(keep on jiving), ooh-wee (keep on jiving)



I say now, you always try to hurt me in the end

In the presence of all our good, good friends

But the patient man always win

Now I'll just wait till you give in



You've been riding

You've been riding quite a while

(keep on riding), keep on, ride (keep on riding)

You've been jiving

Like a peacock, that's your style

(keep on jiving...), ooh-wee, alright (... on jiving)



At Christmas, more like an Easter bunny

Just like a rabbit, you're always on the run

But wait till I get my trap on you

I'll see where you gonna run to

Wait till I get my trap on you

Then I'll see where you gonna run to



You've been riding

You've been riding quite a while

(keep on riding), keep on, ride (keep on riding)

You've been jiving

Like a peacock, that's your style

(keep on jiving), ooh-wee (keep on jiving)



(So riding on my own) I need your love tonight

(Riding on my own) A-when you hold me right...

FRANK SINATRA lyrics - I've Got A Crush On You

How glad the many millions of Annabelles and Lillians

Would be to capture me

But you had such persistence, you wore down my resistance

I fell and it was swell



I'm your big and brave and handsome romeo

How I won you I shall never never know

It's not that youre attractive

But, oh, my heart grew active

When you came into view



Ive got a crush on you, sweetie pie

All the day and night-time give me sigh

I never had the least notion that

I could fall with so much emotion



Could you coo, could you care

For a cunning cottage we could share

The world will pardon my mush

Cause I have got a crush on you



Could you coo, could you care

For a cunning cottage

That we could share

The world will pardon my mush

Cause I have got a crush, my baby, on you

THE CHURCH lyrics - Volumes

Borrowed grapes from stores of gold

Put plastic back where metal's sold

Men in quarries connect their bomb

One two three a new Saigon

Check the bottle is it full?

Have you found which pin to pull?

Boys in shirts get dirty hands

Smoke kills seagulls on the sands



They have pages, they take ages

To read and to learn they're heavy to carry

And easy to burn

Volumes have secrets, take them on holiday

Book them a room, save them a moment

Swallow their swoon



Pretty things all in a row

Flowers who can't seem to grow

Finding the pearls then finding the blood

Then finding the water is wood

The something I wanted has just flown by

It looked at me sideways and told me to try

I hope it's a message from someone obscure

I hope it's the man next door

KINGDOM COME lyrics - Gonna Try

Winds of change is blowing strong, head on

I've ignored whats going on, too long

I can hear a distant voice, saying leave her

While my heart is crying out, I need her



Ain't afraid to stand alone

To start over

It's just a shame as time goes by

I'm growing colder



I believe in someone wrong

Is what my friends said

I kept hanging on too long

Now it turned bad



Gonna try - To get away

Gonna cry - Stay away



She has promised on and on

Baby, I'll change

While I'm scared of what will come

With the next page



Now I'm scared of what will come

It's tearing me apart



Gonna smile - Another day

Dynamite - Is in my veins



I don't care who's got the blame

It's just a sad thing

Cannot wait to feel the pain

When she's leaving

BESSIE SMITH lyrics - Oh Daddy Blues

(Elisha Herbert / W. Russell)



Just like a flower I am fading away

The doctor call to see me most every day

But he don't do me no good, why?

Because I'm lonesome for you

And if you care for me

Then you will listen to my plea

Oh, daddy, look what you doin', look what you doin'

Oh, daddy, you with your foolin', think what you're losin'

All the little love I gave you

Is goin' to make you feel so awfully blue

When you miss me and long to kiss me

You'll curse the day that you ever quit me

Oh, daddy, think when you're all alone

You'll get so lonely just wait and see

But there will be someone else makin' love to me

Then daddy, daddy, you won't have no mama at all



Oh, daddy, look what you doin', look what you doin'

Oh, daddy, you and your foolin', think what you losin'

All the little love I gave you

Is goin' to make me feel so awfully blue

When you miss me, and long to kiss me

You'll curse the day that you ever quit me

Oh, daddy, think when you're all alone

You know that you are getting old

You'll miss the way I baked your jelly roll

And daddy, daddy, you won't have no mama at all

THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS lyrics - The Guitar (The Lion Sleeps Tonight)

Hey

Who's that playing

Hey

The guitar?



Is it Jim?

I don't know

Is it Jim?

I don't know



In the spaceship, the silver space ship, the lion takes control

In the spaceship, the silver space ship, the lion takes control



Hey

Who's that playing

Hey

The guitar?



Hush my darling, be still my darling, the lion's on the phone

Hush my darling, be still my darling, the lion's on the phone



Hush my darling, be still my darling

Hey

Hush my darling, be still my darling

Hey



Turn it up

The guitar

I can't hear

The guitar



In the spaceship, the silver space ship, the lion waves good-bye

In the spaceship, the silver space ship, the lion waves good-bye



Hey

Who's that playing

Hey

The guitar?



Hey

Hey

Hey

Hey

GILBERT O'SULLIVAN lyrics - Taking A Chance On Love

I wanted to give her my heart

But as the doctor observed

What could she do with it

Then when she said we must part

Albeit for only an hour

Couldn't go through with it



I was unhappy until she came along

Suddenly problems

That seems insurmountable

Left in a huff

You can be sure

When you know you're

Taking a chance on love



What would you do if like me

You had the girl of your dreams

Only you blew it

How do you think you would feel

Looking back and saying to yourself

That was so stupid



I don't know what makes

The perfect romance

Could be as simple as tickling her toes

When you're both in the tub

You'll never lose

Not when you choose

Taking a chance on love



When will you find it

Will it be true

What is the answer

I wish that I knew

Somebody's partner

Whose wife is a friend

Illustrates just what I mean



I was so set in my ways

Had someone followed me home

They couldn't beat me there

Never believed in the phrase

That you haven't lived till you've love

Oh, I didn't seem to care



Call me old fashioned but I still aspire

Standing with her

In a church full of people

A priest up above

Saying I do

Her saying it, too

Taking a chance on love



No one can tell you it isn't a game

Taking a chance on love

You win some you loose some

It's never the same

Taking a chance on love

Uum, love



Well, even if wrong

Oh, I still go on

Taking a chance on love

Taking a chance on love

Taking a chance on love ooh

THE STOOGES lyrics - Ann

You took my arm and you broke my will

You made me shiver wiht a real thrill

You took my arm and we walked along

Down the road to a quiet song

I looked into your cool cool eyes

I felt so fine, I felt so fine

I floated in your swimming pools

I felt so weak, I felt so blue

Ann, my Ann I love you Ann

My Ann I love you right now!

RICK SPRINGFIELD lyrics - I'm Not In Love

[Originally by 10cc]



I'm not in love, so don't forget it

It's just a silly phase I'm going through

And just because I call you up

Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made

I'm not in love, no, no, it's because...

I like to see you, but then again

That doesn't mean you mean that much to me

So if I call you, don't make a fuss

Don't tell your friends about the two of us

I'm not in love, no, no, it's because...

Be quiet, big boys don't cry, big boys don't cry

Big boys don't cry, big boys don't cry

I keep your picture upon the wall

It hides a nasty stain that's lying there

So don't you ask me to give it back

I know you know it doesn't mean that much to me

I'm not in love, no, no, it's because...

Ooh you'll wait a long time for me,

Ooh you'll wait a long time

Ooh you'll wait a long time for me

Oooooh you'll wait a long time

I'm not in love, so don't forget it

It's just a silly phase I'm going through

And just because I call you up

Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made

Ooh I'm not in love, I'm not in love

BRYAN FERRY lyrics - Can't Let Go

Well I rush out blazin

'My pulse is racin'

As the rain streams down my face

There's no turning back now

To fight with fate

Outnumbered 'n out of place

They said go west young man, that's best

It's there you'll feel no pain

Bel-air's okay if you dig the grave

But I want to live again

Can't let go

There's a madness in my soul tonight

Can't let go

Must ride like the storm

Can't let go

Will I run out of control tonight

Can't let go

Until every trace is gone

It's a winding road from cuesta way

Down sunset to the beach

Though Canoga Park is a straight safe drive

It's too far outa reach

But now the headlights are flashin' by so fast

All directions seems the same

And the windscreen wipers keep a beat repeatin'

You can't let go again

What's in a name on the street tonight

I'm only a face in the crowd

All in the dark and afraid tonight

Nowhere to run or to hide

But I can't let go

Sometimes the world outside'll take you in

With just a smile

And you so blinded with desire

A hundred sleepless nights have left me

Wasted and so cold

But I can take it I'm hangin' on

Can't let go

There's a madness in my soul tonight

Can't let go

Must ride it like the storm

Can't let go

Will I run out of control tonight

Can't let go

Until every trace is gone

SUPERTRAMP lyrics - Where I Stand

Well I'm a wreck and I'm a tangle

And tho I try to find an angle

Can't find my way around you

No matter what I do



And nothing's right since you left me

My life was full but now it's empty

Can't find my way around you



You say, that you can't see a way

That I can be a part of you

It doesn't matter what I do



Tried every trick that I could think of

But you don't seem to think it's true love

You take no notice of me



Oh my, chance has passed me by

See a way to change your mind

Just let me know and I'll keep trying



All my confidence is gone

I was pretty sure that you would come along

Thought that I would be your man

But now I never know just where I stand

With you



I used to be the kind of guy

Who could be in your arms before you'd realize

Now the tables have been turned

If you play with fire you know you sure get burned



All my confidence...



Just where I stand, where I stand

where I stand with you

I never know, you had to go

where I stand with you

You broke my heart

It came apart

Where do I stand with you?

LORETTA LYNN lyrics - You Can't Hold On To Love

(Glen Johnson)



You can't hold on to sunlight when shadows are falling

You can't hold on to summer when winter is calling

You can't hold on to moonlight you'd be cheating the dawn

And you can't hold on to love when it's over and gone

You can't pick up a rosebud then keep it from dying

You can't tell me you love me if you did you'd be lying

You can't hold on to my heart by leading me on

And you can't hold on to love when it's over and gone



You can't count all the raindrops in one April shower

You can't count on my heartaches in one lonely hour

You can't love me the right way by doing me wrong

And you can't hold on to love when it's over and gone

STATUS QUO lyrics - Roll Over Lay Down

(Parfitt/Rossi/Lancaster/Young/Coghlan)



When I got home that night early one morning

Seeing the note written in ink pinned to the door

Drinking the drink cold from the fridge on the table

I drank a toast you were the most the night before



Roll over lay down and let me in

Roll over it's a long way where I've been

Roll over lay down and let me in

Roll over lay down



When I get home tomorrow night after this morning

Show me the care you showed in the note the night before

Maybe I won't take a drink from the table

Reckon I'll lay me straight down on the floor

Roll over lay down and let me in

Roll over it's a long way where I've been

Roll over lay down and let me in

Roll over lay down



When I get home tomorrow night after this morning

Show me the day, show me the note the night before

Maybe I won't take a drink from the table

Reckon I'll lay me straight down on the floor

Roll over lay down and let me in

Roll over it's a long way where I've been

Roll over lay down and let me in

Roll over lay down

ERIC CLAPTON lyrics - Crosscut Saw

(R. G. Ford)



[Chorus:]

I'm a crosscut saw,

Baby, drag me across your log.

I'm a crosscut saw,

Baby, drag me across your log.

I cut your wood so easy for you,

You can't help but say, "Hot Dog!"



Some call me Woodcutting Sam,

Some call me Woodcutting Jim.

The last girl I cut wood for,

She wants me back again.



I'm a crosscut saw,

Baby, drag me across your log.

I cut your wood so easy for you,

You can't help but say, "Hot Dog!"



I got a double-bladed axe

That really cuts good.

Well, I'm a crosscut saw,

Gonna bury me in your wood.



[Chorus]

COWBOY JUNKIES lyrics - Close My Eyes

I want to walk away

Like Judas from the table.

Turn my back

And walk away.



I want to close my eyes

Like that novice at the altar.

Bow my head

And close my eyes.



Sorrow took Love's splintered hands

And waltzed her 'cross a painted floor.

Whispered softly in her ear,

"let's get outta here".



I'm going to breathe the air

That my children will be breathing.

Breathe them out

And breathe them in again.



I'm going to close my eyes

And walk away.

Turn my back

Bow my head

And close my eyes.

RAY CHARLES lyrics - Girls, Girls, Girls!

Though our country will never make war

We've a reason that's worth marching for

Not for battle our banner unfurls

But for girls, girls, girls, girls, girls.

When we're marching we never retreat

For we're charging a foe that is sweet!

But we're caught in the swirls

Of the enemy's curls

And surrender to girls, girls, girls.



[Verse (Not heard in the film)]

Ruby lips taste like claret

When they're pressing close to mine.

What a flavor!

I compare it to that oldest vintage wine.

I don't need a book of verses

Or a jug beneath the bough,

And my memory rehearses

Not a moment so sweet as now.



Let us gaze in the wine while it's wet.

Let's do things that we'll live to regret.

Let me dance till the restaurant whirls

With the girls, girls, girls, girls, girls!

When there's wine and there's women and song

It is wrong not to do something wrong!

When you do something wrong,

You must do something right,

And I'm doing all right tonight.

RICKY NELSON lyrics - More

More than the greatest love the world has known

This is the love I'll give to you alone

More than the simple words I try to say

I only live to love you more each day



More than you'll ever know

My arms long to hold you so

My life will be in your keeping

Waking, sleeping, laughing, weeping



Longer than always is a long long time

But far beyond forever you'll be mine

I know I never lived before and my heart is very sure

No one else could love you more



I know I never lived before and my heart is very sure

No one else could love you more

STEVEN CURTIS CHAPMAN lyrics - God Is God

(Steven Curtis Chapman)



[Rom. 11: 33-36; Psalm 8: 3-4; 95: 3-6; 103: 13-22]



And the pain falls like a curtain

On the things I once called certain

And I have to say the words I fear the most

I just don't know



And the questions without answers

Come and paralyze the dancer

So I stand here on the stage afraid to move

Afraid to fall, oh, but fall I must

On this truth that my life has been formed from the dust



God is God and I am not

I can only see a part of the picture He's painting

God is God and I am man

So I'll never understand it all

For only God is God



And the sky begins to thunder

And I'm filled with awe and wonder

'Til the only burning question that remains

Is who am I



Can I form a single mountain

Take the stars in hand and count them

Can I even take a breath without God giving it to me

He is first and last before all that has been

Beyond all that will pass



Oh, how great are the riches of His wisdom and knowledge

How unsearchable for to Him and through Him and from Him are all things



So let us worship before the throne

Of the One who is worthy of worship alone

MEMPHIS MINNIE lyrics - What Fault You Find Of Me? (Part 2)

(Memphis Minnie)



MM:

I wouldn't mind being your hopping frog

Drink muddy water, sleep in a hollow log

Now I've got tired the way you treated me

And I believe I'll go now, back to my used to be



KJ:

One thing certainly can't understand

Cornbread for me and biscuits for your man

Now I've got tired the way you treated me

And I believe I'll go now, back to my used to be



MM:

You know I been begging you so long. so long

Quit your foolishness, bring your clothes back home

Now I've got tired the way you treated me

And I believe I'll go now, back to my used to be



KJ:

Before I got you, I had my diamonds on

Now I got you, they all in pawn

Now I've got tired the way you treated me

And I believe I'll go now, back to my used to be



MM:

If I could holler like a mountain jack

Go up on the mountain, call them diamonds back

Now I've got tired the way you treated me

And I believe I'll go now, back to my used to be

SADE lyrics - No Ordinary Love

I gave you all the love I got

I gave you more than I could give

I gave you love

I gave you all that I have inside

And you took my love

You took my love

Didn't I tell you

What I believe

Did somebody say that

A love like that won't last

Didn't I give you

All that I've got to give baby



I gave you all the love I got

I gave you more than I could give

I gave you love

I gave you all that I have inside

And you took my love

You took my love



I keep crying

I keep trying for you

There's nothing like you and I baby



This is no ordinary love

No ordinary Love

This is no ordinary love

No ordinary Love



When you came my way

You brightened every day

With your sweet smile



Didn't I tell you

What I believe

Did somebody say that

A love like that won't last

Didn't I give you

All that I've got to give baby



This is no ordinary love

No ordinary Love

This is no ordinary love

No ordinary Love



I keep crying

I keep trying for you

There's nothing like you and I baby



This is no ordinary love

No ordinary Love

This is no ordinary love

No ordinary Love



Keep trying for you

Keep crying for you

Keep flying for you

Keep flying I'm falling



I'm falling



Keep trying for you

Keep crying for you

Keep flying for you

Keep flying for you I'm falling

I'm falling

ERIC CLAPTON lyrics - Four Until Late

(Robert Johnson)



From four until late

I was wringing my hands and crying.

From four until late

I was wringing my hands and crying.

I believe to my soul

That your daddy's Gulfport bound.



From four until late,

She made me a no-good barroom clown.

From four until late,

She made me a no-good barroom clown.

You know she won't do nothing

But tear a good man's reputation down.



A woman is like a dresser,

Some man always running through its drawers.

A woman is like a dresser,

Some man always running through its drawers.

She cause so many men

To wear an apron overall.



When I leave this town

I will bid you fare farewell.

When I leave this town

I will bid you fare farewell.

And when I return again,

You'll have a great long story to tell.

THE CURE lyrics - Charlotte Sometimes

All the faces

All the voices blur

Change to one face

Change to one voice

Prepare yourself for bed

The light seems bright

And glares on white walls

All the sounds of

Charlotte sometimes

Into the night with

Charlotte sometimes



Night after night she lay alone in bed

Her eyes so open to the dark

The streets all looked so strange

They seemed so far away

But Charlotte did not cry



The people seemed so close

Playing expressionless games

The people seemed

So close

So many

Other names...



Sometimes I'm dreaming

Where all the other people dance

Sometimes I'm dreaming

Charlotte sometimes

Sometimes I'm dreaming

Expressionless the trance

Sometimes I'm dreaming

So many different names

Sometimes I'm dreaming

The sounds all stay the same

Sometimes I'm dreaming

She hopes to open shadowed eyes

On a different world

Come to me

Scared princess

Charlotte sometimes



On that bleak track

(See the sun is gone again)

The tears were pouring down her face

She was crying and crying for a girl

Who died so many years before...



Sometimes I dream

Where all the other people dance

Sometimes I dream

Charlotte sometimes

Sometimes I dream

The sounds all stay the same

Sometimes I'm dreaming

There are so many different names

Sometimes I dream

Sometimes I dream...



Charlotte sometimes crying for herself

Charlotte sometimes dreams a wall around herself

But it's always with love

With so much love it looks like

Everything else

Of Charlotte sometimes

So far away

Glass sealed and pretty

Charlotte sometimes

RICHARD THOMPSON lyrics - Yankee Go Home

(Richard Thompson)



Oh GI Joe put your gun away

The sun is setting on another day

Why don't you leave us alone?

Yankee go home!



They're burning effigies out in the street

Man the life boats, sound the retreat

Pentagon's on the 'phone

Yankee go home!



You can't just kiss and run away

There ain't enough money on a sergeant's pay

When the dancehall girl you banged's in the family way



Oh you turned my sister into a whore

With a pair of silk stockings from the PX store

Why don't you leave us alone?

Yankee go home! Yankee go home! Just go home!



My girlfriend still won't talk to me

Since she met with a sailor from the land of the free

I'm tired of being alone

Yankee go home!



I lost count of the chewing gum that I've had

And coca-cola make my teeth go bad

We'll handle this on our own

Yankee go home!



Dow Jones going into a stall

Spray paint saying it on every wall

The climb was fine, now it's time to decline and fall



Over-paid, over-sexed and over here

Get smart, gringo, disappear

The Hun's at the gates of Rome

Yankee go home! Yankee go home! Go home!

Go home! Go home!

LIGHTNIN' HOPKINS lyrics - Short Haired Woman

(Sam (Lightnin') Hopkins)



I don't want no wom'n,

If her hair it ain't no longer 'an mine

I don't want no w'man,

If her hair it ain't no longer 'an mine

Yeah, ya know, she ain't no good for nothin' but trouble, did ya know 'at?

Vets keep ya buyin' rats all the time



Yeah, you know I got on the good side of my woman,

I told her, "Darlin', I's a-comin' to go have some fun"

You know, I went to make her swing out when a rat fell from her head like,

One from a burnin' barn

I just don't want, want no woman,

Boy, if her hair it ain't no longer 'an mine

Whoa, ya know she ain't no good for nothin' but trouble

Vets keep ya buyin' rats all the time

Yeah, you know rats and wigs'll get ya killed



Yeah, you know I got on the good side of my woman,

I told her, "Darlin', I's comin' to go have some fun"

You know, I went to make her swing out when a rat fell from her head like,

One from a burnin' barn

I say, I don't want no woman,

Boy, if her hair it ain't no longer 'an mine

You know she ain't no good for nothin' but trouble, did ya know 'at?

Vets keep ya buyin' rats all the time

METALLICA lyrics - Overkill

(Kilmister / Clarke / Taylor)



[Originally recorded by Motorhead]



Only way to feel the noise

Is when it's good and loud

So good I can't believe it

Screamin' with the crowd



Don't sweat it

Give it back to you

Don't sweat it

Give it back to you

Overkill

Overkill

Overkill

Shut up



On your feet you feel the beat

It goes straight to your spine

Shake your head, you must be dead

If it don't make you fly



Don't sweat it

Give it back to you

Don't sweat it

Give it back to you

Overkill

Overkill

Overkill

Get the fuck down



Ooh yeah



Know your body's made to move

It goes straight to your spine

You gotta move it

If it don't make you fly



Don't sweat it

Give it back to you

Don't sweat it

Give it back to you

Overkill

Overkill

Overkill

Get on it!

BLACK SABBATH lyrics - Call Of The Wild

In this last and final hour, you can't hide

There's nowhere now that you can run

All eyes are on you, like a lost Eternal Light

Princes and Kings, Demons with wings

Summon your fears from hell



It's the call of the wild Calling you



In this last macabre hour, witches cry

and turn to dust before the moon

Many spirits are lost forever, but one survives

To call the tune of lucifer



It's the call of the wild Calling you



Hero, only in the grave are there no dreams

Hero, don't beleive in fate, it ain't what it seems



All you gotta do now is stay free

You're the one they turn to when hell screams



Fear of the devil has no place among the brave

Faced with pain, there's a battle to be won

All eyes are on you, like a lost Eternal Light

Princes and Kings, Demons with wings

Summon your fears from hell



It's the call of the wild Calling you



Hero, only in the grave are there no dreams

Hero, don't beleive in fate, it ain't what it seems



Hero, only in the grave are there no dreams

Hero, don't beleive in fate, it ain't what it seems



Hero, you got the fear of the devil burning your soul

Hero, It's the call of the wild

Hero, Tearing your soul

MARLON JACKSON lyrics - She Never Cried

(Fred Maher/Marlon Jackson)



I remember when I was young

You used to hold me in your arms

You always told me whatever I do

Have love for your father he's a part of you

Even though he left us alone

How can your heart speak so strong



You deserve much more

You're not the lady next door

Why does she have so much pride

She never cried

What can I do

He walked out on you

Everyday I cry

I feel the pain you hide

The voice of light

Will shine some night

And that's the day

That hurt will go away



To raise a kid, while still in school

L'll always respect you

You worked two jobs it carried us through

L'm sorry for the pain he caused you



What he expected you

To do with your life

You were young

Running out on you

With his child

That was wrong

How can he live

Not knowing we're alive

Where is my father

In this world I cried

You deserve much more

You're not the lady next door

Why does she have so much pride

She never cried

What can I do

He walked out on you

Everyday I cry

I feel the pain you hide

The voice of light

Will shine some night

And that's the day

That hurt will go away I saw my father walking

Down the street

I stopped and stared

Mom turned her head I said



You left us all alone

You never did come home

Stop don't turn away

I've been waiting for this day

To tell you how feel

Everyday regret that I

Was born into this world

Because of me her heart is lonely

She sat all alone

Hoping that you would phone

Never once she put you down

Responsibility you should have faced

Instead you ran away

Leaving us astray

Not once did you try

You're less than a man inside



You deserve much more

You're not the lady next door

Why does she have so much pride

She never cried

What can I do

We walked out on you

Everyday I cry

I feel the pain you hide

The voice of light

Will shine some night

And that's the day

That hurt will go away

PERRY COMO lyrics - Papa Loves Mambo

Papa loves mambo

Mama loves mambo

Look at 'em sway with it

Gettin' so gay with it

Shoutin' "olay" with it, wow (huh)



Papa loves mambo

(Papa loves mambo)

Mama loves mambo

Papa does great with it

Swings like a gate with it

He loses weight with it, now

He goes fast, she goes slow

He goes left 'n' she goes right



(Papa's lookin' for Mama)

(But mama is nowhere in sight) (huh)



Papa loves mambo

Havin' their fling again

Younger than spring again

Feelin' that zing again, wow (huh)

Don't let her rumba and don't let her samba

'Cause Papa loves Mama tonight (huh)

'Cause Papa

Loves a mambo tonight

THE PRETENDERS lyrics - Sense Of Purpose

Everybody chokes

When they see someone cut down in their prime

It may not show when you look at me

But I know I'm in mine

I'm potent, baby, I'm potent

Dangerous to the naked eye

Rest your head on this bed of mother's pride

And find out why



Don't you wanna take me home?

Don't you wanna take me home?



Give me a sense of purpose

A real sense of purpose now

Give me a sense of purpose

A real sense of purpose now



Bully boys don't bother me

I purse my lips and they run away

Guys like you who are gentle and true

Don't come around here everyday

I'm potent, baby, I'm potent

Just one swing of me would get most guys smashed

But a drop of yours makes me stagger and swerve

I guess I'm outclassed



Everybody chokes

When they see someone cut down in their prime

Take this plea to your heart

- lift me in mine



Don't you wanna take me home?

Don't you wanna take me home?



Give me a sense of purpose

A real sense of purpose now

Give me a sense of purpose

A real sense of purpose now



Give me a sense of purpose

A real sense of purpose now

Give me a sense of purpose

A real sense of purpose now

JAY AND THE TECHNIQUES lyrics - Apples, Peaches, Pumpkin Pie

Ready or not here I come

Gee that used to be such fun



Apples peaches pumpkin pie

Who's afraid to holler I?

That's a game we used to play.

Hide and seek was its name.

Oh ready or not, hear I come,

Gee that used to be such fun.

I always used to find a hiding place,

Times have changed.

Well I'm one step behind you, but still I can't find you.

Apple peaches pumpkin pie,

You were young and so was I.

Now that we've grown up it seems

You just keep ignoring me.

I'll find you anywhere you go,

I'll follow you high and low.

You can't escape this love of mine anytime.

Well, I'll sneak up behind you,

Be careful where I find you.

Apple peaches pumpkin pie,

Soon your love will be all mine.

Then I'm gonna take you home,

Marry you so you won't roam.

Marry you so you won't roam. Right now

I'll find you anywhere you go,

I'm gonna look high and low.

You can't escape this love of mine anytime.

Well, I'll sneak up behind you,

Be careful where I find you.

Ready or not here I come,

Gee that used to be such fun



[Repeat And Fade]

MARILLION lyrics - A Voice From The Past

A voice from the past

Entered my head today

Fresh & alive. Full of life, passion and pain.

A voice now past.

A beautiful soul. Gone, gone, gone.



Speaking clearly - clearer than the living

Talking perfect sense

Used to not being understood

While talking perfect sense to the next generation



Have we caught up yet?

Is it time?

I think it is.

Enough is enough

Enough is enough



A voice from the past

Entered my head today

Tiny child sighed in my ear.

Giving up breathing in

Over & out

Over & out

Taken by bad luck & the ill fortune of geography.



Common cold. Dirty water. HIV.

Common apathy. Common crime.

Perfect nonsense to the next generation



Dead yet alive

Dead yet alive

Gone but shouting anger

Gone but talking perfect sense



Have we caught up yet?

Is it time? Well I say it is. I say it is.

Deaf & dumbed-down

Enough is enough



Give me a smile. Hold out your hand.

I don't want your money

I don't want your land

Gimme a smile. Hold out your hand.

I don't want your money

I don't want your land

I want you to wake up & do

Something strange

I want you to listen

I want you to feel someone else's pain

Someone else's pain

Someone else's pain

Someone else's pain.



Deaf & dumbed-down

Deaf & dumbed-down



A tap with clean water

NEIL YOUNG lyrics - Love And Only Love

Long ago in the book of old,

Before the chapter

where dreams unfold

A battle raged

on the open page,

Love was a winner there

overcoming hate

Like a little girl

who couldn't wait.



Love and only love

will endure

Hate is everything

you think it is

Love and only love

will break it down

Love and only love,

will break it down

Break it down, break it down.



Tomorrow is a long long time

if you're a memory

Trying to find peace of mind

Spirit come back to me,

Give me strength and set me free

Let me hear the magic in my heart.



Love and only love

will endure

Hate is everything

you think it is

Love and only love

will break it down

Love and only love,

will break it down

Break it down, break it down.



Long ago in the book of old,

Before the chapter

where dreams unfold

A battle raged

on the open page,

Love was a winner there

overcoming hate

Like a little girl

who couldn't wait.



Love and only love

will endure

Hate is everything

you think it is

Love and only love

will break it down

Love and only love.

WARLOCK lyrics - Earthshaker Rock

Hey you, whatcha gonna do,

Whatcha gonna do tonight

Stand up and let it out

Metal rock is here tonight.



In the streets a wave of heat

Burning half the town

Finish the day in a rocking good way



Out of hell and out of fire

The night is filled with dark desire

Metal sounds will take ( send ) you higher

Listen to the beat all through the night



When you get here

You will see the light

And sounds will heat up

The heat of the night



Earth'shaker Rock

Come on, ( let me ) make you feel alright

State of shock - metal rock



Higher, higher

Set your light on fire

You get higher

Bang your head, bang your head.



Earthshaker rock

Heat of the night

Earthshaker rock

Baby, I make you feel alright

State of rock - metal rock.

SIMPLY RED lyrics - Shine

Ooh I remember those old love letters

Plagued with memories, I can't forget us

Trying to fight it, trying to hide it



Rekindled flames are not recommended

But it never went out boy, it never ended

Trying to fight it, trying to hide it

But your love it shines



In a cruel hard world

It's a miracle to find

Someone good, someone whose love it shines

Your love it shines



Here in this apartment with oh too many rooms

Pearls once meant something, they brought me only gloom

Trying to fight it, trying to hide it

Rekindled flames they're not recommended

But it never went out boy, it never ended

Crime can fight it, lies can hide it

But your love it shines



In a cruel hard world

It's a miracle to find

Someone good, someone whose love it shines

Your love it shines



You'd better shine your love, shine your love, shine it up

You'd better shine your love, shine your love, shine it up



In a cruel hard world

It's a miracle to find

Someone good, someone whose love it shines

Your love it shines

PHISH lyrics - Bouncing Around The Room

The woman was a dream I had

Though rather hard to keep

For when my eyes were watching hers

They closed,

And I was still asleep.



For when my hand was holding hers

She whispered words and I awoke

And faintly bouncing around the room

The echo of whomever spoke

I awoke and faintly bouncing round the room

The echo of whomever spoke.



The place I saw was far beneath

The surface of the sea

My sight was poor

But I was sure

The sirens sang their songs for me

They dance above me as I sink

I see them through a crystal haze

And hear them bouncing round the room

The never ending coral maze



That time and once again I'm bouncing around the room.

STEVIE WONDER lyrics - Big Brother

Your name is big brother

You say that you're watching me on the tele,

Seeing me go nowhere,

Your name is big brother,

You say that you're tired of me protesting,

Children dying everyday,

My name is nobody

But I can't wait to see your face inside my door



Your name is big brother

You say that you got me all in your notebook,

Writing it down everyday,

Your name is I'll see ya,

I'll change if you vote me in as the pres,

The President of your soul

I live in the ghetto,

You just come to visit me 'round election time



I live in the ghetto,

Someday I will move on my feet to the other side,

My name is secluded,

we live in a house the size of a matchbox,

Roaches live with us wall to wall,



You've killed all our leaders,

I don't even have to do nothin' to you

You'll cause your own country to fall

JOHN PRINE lyrics - Rocky Mountain Time

The station was empty

The trains were all gone

I reached in my pocket

And I wanted for dawn



[Chorus:]

The clock played drums

And I hummed the sax

And the wind whistled down

The railroad tracks

Hey three for a quarter

One for a dime

I'll bet it's tomorrow

By Rocky Mountain time



I walked in the restaurant

For something to do

The waitress yelled at me

And so did the food

And the water taste funny

When you're far from your home

But it's only the thirsty

That hunger to roam



[Chorus]



We'll build us a castle on Main Street

And pretend that we're down on the farm

Hell, we'll hold out as long as we have to

Then we'll twist off each other's arm



Christ I'm so mixed up and lonely

I can't even make friends with my brain

I'm too young to be where I'm going

But I'm too old to go back again



The station was empty

The trains were all gone

I reached in my pocket

And I wanted for dawn



[Chorus]

CYNDI LAUPER lyrics - Higher Plane

(Cyndi Lauper, Jan Pulsford)



Wake Me

Shake me

Come on take me

To a Higher Plane

Make the music and the rhythm

Carry me away



I want to be with you

I want to be free

I want to be connected to everyone I see

(Ohh) Ooo... everyone moving with the same emotion

(Ohh) Ooo... and he looks just like a silent word being spoken



Wake Me

Shake me

Come on take me

To a Higher Plane

Make the music and the rhythm

Carry me away



Rhythm is my spirit

Rhythm is my speech

Rhythm is pulsating

The rhythm of the street

(Ahh) Ooo... to find myself in the still of the thunder

(Ahh) Ooo... 'til another moment passing by pulls me under... pulls me under



Wake me

Shake me

Come on take me

To a Higher Plane

Make the music and the rhythm

Carry me away



I want to be with you



Ohhhhhhh Yeah!



Wake me

Shake me

Come on take me

To a Higher Plane

Make the music and the rhythm

Carry me away



I want to be with you

I want to be free

I want to be connected from my heart to be beat

Beam myself in the light against the darkness

'Til your love descends and smoothes away all the harshness, all the harshness



Wake me

Shake me

Come on take me

To a Higher Plane



Make the music and the rhythm

Carry me away



Wake me

Shake me

Come on take me

To a Higher Plane



Make the music and the rhythm

Carry me away-ay-ay-ay-ay

DEAN MARTIN lyrics - Release Me (And Let Me Love Again)

Oh please release me let me go

I don't love you anymore

To live a lie would be a sin

Release me and let me love again



Oh I have found a new love dear

And I'll always want her near

Her lips, they're warm while yours are cold

Release me and darling let me go



Please release me let me go

I don't love you anymore

To live a lie would be a sin

Release me and let me love again



Please release me let me go

You'd be the fool to cling to me

Oh to live a lie would bring us pain

Release me and let me love again

RICHARD THOMPSON lyrics - Wall Of Death

(Richard Thompson)



Let me ride on the Wall Of Death one more time

Let me ride on the Wall Of Death one more time

You can waste your time on the other rides

This is the nearest to being alive

Oh let me take my chances on the Wall Of Death



You can go with the crazy people in the Crooked House

You can fly away on the Rocket or spin in the Mouse

The Tunnel Of Love might amuse you

Noah's Ark might confuse you

But let me take my chances on the Wall Of Death



On the Wall Of Death all the world is far from me

On the Wall Of Death it's the nearest to being free



Well you're going nowhere when you ride on the carousel

And maybe you're strong but what's the good of ringing a bell

The switchback will make you crazy. Beware of the bearded lady

Oh let me take my chances on the Wall Of Death



Let me ride on the Wall Of Death one more time

Oh let me ride on the Wall Of Death one more time

You can waste your time on the other rides

This is the nearest to being alive

Oh let me take my chances on the Wall Of Death

Let me take my chances on the Wall Of Death

Oh let me take my chances on the Wall Of Death

STYX lyrics - Half-Penny, Two-Penny

(James Young)



Half penny, two penny, gold Krugerrand

He was exceedingly rich for such a young man

Sad story, old story

Bring out the band

Another divorce just a few hundred grand



Half penny, two penny, back of the queue

Yes mister poor man this means you

Justice for money what can you say

We all know it's the American Way



Yes, I'm gonna shake myself loose

Back home across the sea

Where I know that I will be free



Half penny, two penny, back in the States

You just couldn't take that African pace

Yes, Mrs. Cleaver your son's home to stay

We all know it's the American Way



Yes, I'm gonna shake myself loose

Back home across the sea

Where I know that I will be free



"Come here - hey Angelo... what's happenin'?"

"Hey, Stosh, good to see ya"

"What the hell you doin'?"

"We're tearing this old building down here"

"Oh you're kiddin' me. Remember when we were kids, and we used to come here every Saturday afternoon to see a cartoon?"

"Yeah, I remember"

"Well what's she lost to?"

"Who knows - politicians, taxes...it's a disgrace"

"I'm not surprised, they make me sick. They don't make theaters like thisany more."



Half penny, two penny, ashes to dust

The almighty dollar says "In God we trust"

Justice for money how much more can I pay

We all know it's the American Way



Yes, I'm gonna shake myself loose

Back home across the sea

Where I know that I will be free

(I want to be free)



Yes, I'm gonna shake myself loose

Back home across the sea

Where I know that I will be free

(We all want to be free)

JOAN BAEZ lyrics - La Colombe (The Dove)

(A. Clayre, J. Brel)



Why all these bugles cry

These squads of young men drill

To kill and to be killed

Stood waiting by the train



Why the orders loud and hoarse

Why the engine's groaning cough

As it strains to drag us all

Into the holocaust



Why crowds who sing and cry

And shout and fling us flowers

And trade their rights for ours

To murder and to die



[Chorus:]

The dove has torn her wing

So no more songs of love

We are not here to sing

We're here to kill the dove



Why must this moment come

When childhood has to die

When hope shrinks to a sigh

And speech into a drum



Why are they pale and still

Young boys trained over night

Concripts payed to kill

And dressed in gray to fight



These rainclouds massing tight

This train load battle bound

This moving burial ground

Goes thundering to the night



[Chorus]



Why statues towering grave

Above the last defeat

Old words and lies repeat

Across a new made grave



And why the same still birds

That victory always brought

These hours of glory bought

By men with mounds of earth



Dead ash without a spark

Where cities used to be

Where guns probe every spark

And crush it into dust



[Chorus]



And while your face undone

With jagged lines of tears

That gave in those first years

All the peace I'd ever want



Your body in the gloom

The platform fading back

Your shadow on the track

A flower upon a tomb



And why these days ahead

When I must let you cry

And live prepared to die

And to....



[Chorus]

BERLIN lyrics - Angel's Wings

(T. Nunn / C. Caffey)



He's too loud and so young

And too lucky in love

Too hot and too wild

And so never enough

Crazy and nothing at all like my dreams

Dripping with sweat on my angel's wings



He's too pretty so nasty so wanting for more

Too lazy too sexy to throw out my door

Crazy I'm falling apart at the seams

Dripping with sweat on my angel's wings



Angels fly

Above the sky

So close your eyes

And hold on tight



Angels fly

I don't know why

Close your eyes

And hold on tight



He's too rowdy too happy too foolish and free

Too careless and reckless and shameless for me

Crazy I'm falling apart at the seams

It's wrong but you know what, I'd give anything

Dripping with sweat on my angel's wings

SYD BARRETT lyrics - No Good Trying

(Barrett)



It's no good trying to place your hand

Where I can't see because I understand

That you're different from me

Yes I can tell

That you can't be what you pretend

And you're rocking me backwards

And you're rocking towards the

Red and yellow mane of a stallion horse.



It's no good trying to hold your love

Where I can't see because I understand

That you're different from me

Yes I can tell

That you can't be what you pretend

The caterpillar hood won't cover the head of you

Know you should be home in bed.



It's no good holding your sequin fan

Where I can't see because I understand

That you're different from me

Yes I can tell

That you can't be what you pretend

Yes you're spinning around and around in a car

With electric lights flashing very fast...

ALICE COOPER lyrics - Didn't We Meet

Pardon me

But you see I've seen that face before

I know those eyes

Unearthly wise

I feel it more and more

To look at you

Deja Vu

Chills me to the core

They say that you are the king of this whole damn thing

But that only confused me

I don't stand aghost of a chance with my host

And if frankly amused me

So let's drink a few

Here's looking at you

I swear

Didn't we meet in the night in my sleep somewhere

Didn't we meet in the night in my sleep somewhere

Gradually I could see

Things are getting clear

That ancient face

Satanic grace

This sudden rush of fear

They say that you are the king of this whole damn thing

Now they got me believing

They said I don't stand aghost of a chance with my host

So I better be leaving

So let's drnk a few

Here's looking at you

I swear

Didn't we meet in the night in my sllep somewhere

Here I am

The door's been slammed

They're gonna roast

Make me bleed

Till I plead

For you to let me die

They say that you are the king of this whole damn thing

Now they got me believing

They said I don't stand aghost of a chance with my host

So I better be leaving

So let's drnk a few

Here's looking at you

I swear

Didn't we meet in the night in my sllep somewhere

PHISH lyrics - Glide

And we're glad glad glad that you're alive

And we're glad glad glad that you're a glide

BRENDA LEE lyrics - You're The First, The Last, My Everything

(B. White - T. Sepe - PS Radcliffe)



You're the first, the last, my everything

And the answer to all my dreams

Your my joy, my moon,

My guiding star my kind of wonderful that's what you are



I know that there's only,

Only one like you there's no way they could have made two

Yes, you all I'm living for

Your love I'll keep forever more

You're the first, you're the last, my everything



In you, I found so many things

A love so new only you could bring

Can't you see its new

You make me feel this way

Your like the fresh falling dew, on a brand new day



I've seen so many ways that I can love you till the day that I die

Your my reality then lost in love dreams



You're the first, my last, my everything

You're the first, my last, my everything

You're the first, my last, my everything

VINCE GILL lyrics - Go Rest High On That Mountain

(Vince Gill)



I know your life

On earth was troubled

And only you could know the pain

You weren't afraid to face the devil

You were no stranger to the rain



[Chorus:]

Go rest high on that mountain

Son, you work on earth is done

Go to heaven a shoutin'

Love for the Father and Son



Oh, how we cried the day you left us

We gathered round your grave to grieve

I wish I could see the angels faces

When they hear your sweet voice sing



[Chorus]

FRANK SINATRA lyrics - Moody River

(G. D. Bruce)



[Recorded November 13, 1968, Hollywod]



(Moody river, moody river)



[Chorus:]

Moody river, more deadly than the vainest knife

Moody river, your muddy water took my baby's life



Last Saturday evenin' came to the old oak tree

It stands beside the river where you were to meet me

On the ground your glove I found with a note addressed to me

It read "Dear love, I've done you wrong, now I must set you free"

No longer can I live with this hurt and this sin.

I just couldn't tell you that guy was just a friend"



[Chorus]



I looked into the muddy water and what could I see?

I saw a lonely, lonely face just lookin' back at me

Tears in his eyes and a prayer on his lips

And the glove of his lost love at his fingertips



[Chorus]

DIANA ROSS lyrics - So Close

(Diana Ross/Bill Wray/Bob Mounsey)



So close

When I look into your eyes

So close

I feel I'm hypnotized

I wanna stay here

For the rest of my life



So close

When you smile at me that way

So close

It takes my breathe away

I love you more

With every beat of my heart



Ooh, I remember the night we met

I knew I'd never, ever be the same

Ooh, I remember the night you said you loved me

In and instant my whole world changed



So close (closer and closer)

Feel your body next to mine

So close (closer and closer)

(closer and closer and closer)

I'll lose a sense of time

I wanna stay here for the rest of my life

I wanna stay here for the rest of my life



Ooh, I remember the night we met

I knew I never ever be the same

Ooh, I remember the first time you said you loved me

I love you darling

In an instant my whole world changed



So close (closer and closer)

Being here with you

So close

And there's nothing I'd rather do

Than make you stay here

And I'll keep you always so close



Closer and closer

Come on closer to me boy

HEART lyrics - Straight On

Quite some time, I been sittin' it out

Didn't take no chances

I was a pris'ner of doubt.

I knocked down the wailin' wall

Ain't no sin

Got the feel of fortune; deal me in



Comin' straight on for you. You made my mind.

Now I'm stronger. Now I'm comin' through

Straight on, straight on for you

Straight on for you.



Now I know I got to play my hand

What the winner don't know, a gambler understands

My heart keeps playin' it through

with you, my friend

I'll take my chances on you again and again



Comin' straight on for you. You made my mind

Now I'm stronger. Now I'm comin' through

Straight on, straight on for you

Straight on for you

ENYA lyrics - Orinoco Flow (Sail Away)

Let me sail, let me sail,

let the orinoco flow,

Let me reach, let me beach

On the shores of Tripoli.

Let me sail, let me sail,

Let me crash upon your shore,

Let me reach, let me beach

Far beyond the Yellow Sea.



From Bissau to Palau - in the shade of Avalon,

From Fiji to Tiree and the Isles of Ebony,

From Peru to Cebu hear the power of Babylon,

From Bali to Cali - far beneath the Coral Sea.



From the North to the South,

Ebudc into Khartoum,

From the deep sea of Clouds

To the island of the moon,

Carry me on the waves

To the lands I've never been,

Carry me on the waves

To the lands I've never seen.



We can sail, we can sail...

We can steer, we can near

With Rob Dickins at the wheel,

We can sigh, say goodbye

Ross and his dependencies

We can sail, we can sail...

INXS lyrics - Shining Star

Mmmm I got a plan

Yeah, you got a plan

Gotta plan ahead

I got a plan that'll make you a star

Make you go rich, make you go far



Take your life and throw it on a bus

Make you feel like you make a fuss

Bright ideas and a fast hill too

Make you feel like you got feet of glue



Shining Star

Shining Star

Shining Star, yeah

take my soul, take my soul, take soul, take my soul



Just leave me with your heart, loving heart

loving heart, just leave me with your heart

Shining Star



There you go

Way up high



Joy in mind, cheat your heart

Make you wanna feel before it get's too hot

Let 'em gun you down while you run around

Before that shining star has gone



Shining Star

Shining Star

Shining Star, yeah

Shining Star

Shining Star, you go to far

Shining Star, yeah

Take my soul, take my soul, take my soul



Just leave me with your heart, loving heart

Loving heart, heart, heart, heart, heart

Just leave me with your heart



Shining Star

Shining Star, yeah

Shining Star



Give me your money honey

Give me your money honey

Give me your money honey

Give me your money honey



Shining Star

Yeah I got a plan

Yeah I got a plan

Make you go rich, make you go far

ELVIS COSTELLO lyrics - (I Don't Want To Go To) Chelsea

Photographs of fancy tricks to get your kicks at sixty-six

He thinks of all the lips that he licks

And all the girls that he's going to fix

She gave a little flirt, gave herself a little cuddle

But there's no place here for the mini-skirt waddle

Capital punishment, she's last year's model

They call her Natasha when she looks like Elsie

I don't want to go to Chelsea

Oh no it does not move me

Even though I've seen the movie

I don't want to check your pulse

I don't want nobody else

I don't want to go to Chelsea



Everybody's got new orders

Be a nice girl and kiss the warders

Now the teacher is away

All the kids begin to play



Men come screaming, dressed in white coats

Shake you very gently by the throat

One's named Gus, one's named Alfie

I don't want to go to Chelsea



Oh no it does not move me

Even though I've seen the movie

I don't want to check your pulse

I don't want nobody else

I don't want to go to Chelsea



Photographs of fancy tricks to get your kicks at sixty-six

He thinks of all the lips that he licks

And all the girls that he's going to fix

She gave a little flirt, gave herself a little cuddle

But there's no place here for the mini-skirt waddle

Capital punishment, she's last year's model

They call her Natasha when she looks like Elsie

I don't want to go to Chelsea



Oh no it does not move me

Even though I've seen the movie

I don't want to check your pulse

I don't want nobody else

I don't want to go to Chelsea

DOLLY PARTON lyrics - Daddy Come And Get Me

(Dolly Parton/Dorothy Jo Hope)



In this mental institution, lookin' out through these iron bars

How could he put me in here, how could he go that far

Yes I need help but not this kind, he didn't love me from the start

But it's not my mind that's broken, it's my heart

Oh Daddy come and get me and take me home with you

I'm depending on you Daddy, there's nothing I can do

And you said that I could come to you if I ever was in need

But Daddy I can't come to you, you'll have to come to me



When he said he loved another, I was crazy with jealousy

That's 'cause I was crazy over him and I couldn't stand to set him free

And I couldn't stand to lose him and I cried and cried for days

And he said that I was crazy but he just put me in here to get me out of his way

Daddy come and get me



Oh Daddy come and get me and take me home with you

I'm depending on you Daddy 'cause there's nothing else I can do

And you said that I could come to you if I ever was in need

But Daddy I can't come to you, you'll have to come to me



Oh Daddy, come and get me

BOB DYLAN lyrics - Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

Have yourself a merry little Christmas,

Let your heart be light

From now on,

Our troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas,

Make the Yule-tide gay,

From now on,

Our troubles will be miles away.



Here we are as in olden days,

Happy golden days of yore.

Faithful friends who are dear to us

Gather near to us once more.



Through the years we all will be together

If the Fates allow

Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.

And have yourself a merry little Christmas now.

SHOCKING BLUE lyrics - Tobacco Road

I was born in a dump

Mama died and daddy got drunk

Left me here to die or grow

In a middle of Tobacco Road



Grew up in a rusty shack

All I had was hangin' on my back

Only you know how I loathe

This place called Tobacco Road



But it's home the only life I've ever know

Only you know how I loathe

Tobacco Road



Gonna leave get a job

With the help and the graze from above

Save same money get rich I know

Bring it back to Tobacco Road



Bring dynamite and a crane

Blow it up start all over again

Build to a town be proud to show

Give the name Tobacco Road

B. B. KING lyrics - Ain't Gonna Worry My Life Anymore

(B. B. King)



Don't care when you go, how long you stay

Good time treatments, bring you back someday

Oh but someday, baby, I ain't gonna worry my life any more



Ain't but one thing, give me the blues

When I've worn a hole, in my last pair of shoes

Oh but someday, baby, I ain't gonna worry my life any more

STATUS QUO lyrics - Tango

(Rossi/Frost)



When I look at you something isn't true

What am I to do? Where am I to go?

When I find a way to take the blues away

What a funny day, what a funny world

And then it all just rolls on and on

It's like an echo echoing on



When you look at me what is it you see?

What are you to do? How are we to know?

If there is a way to chase the blues away

Tell me now, today, sooner if you can

But it still just rolls on and on

Just like an echo echoing on



Take me away, take me today

Find me a room, find me a view

If it's to be surely you see

Used to be you, used to be me.



When I look at you something isn't true

What am I to do? Where am I to go?

If there is a way to chase the blues away

Tell me now, today, sooner if you can

But it still just rolls on and on

Just like an echo echoing on

TOM VERLAINE lyrics - Pillow

(Verlaine)



What does the dove see

There at the window?

A man and woman furious.

that picture on the wall,

A bluebird in a tree,

Something here is not resolved.



Time is a crashing thing

That's what the old book says,

One day you'll be a saint,

I better make my bid,

I know the ink is dry,

I know they do not lie,

I better make my bid.



You are remembered well,

Putting on your overcoat in June,

Slipping off that old corsage,

It's nothing, really nothing...



What does the dove see,

There at the window?

Two people fast asleep

Oh, you were such a clown,

Out on the balcony,

Time is a stupid thing,

That's what you read to me.

Watching the birdies fly,

You whispered, "I could die",

As I recall it's really nothing.



Some things are mot resolved,

a picture on a wall,

A bluebird in a tree,

A bluebird in a tree.



You are remembered well,

Putting on your overcoat in June,

Slipping off that old corsage,

It's nothing, really nothing...



What does the dove see,

There at the window?

These pains are very hard.

SEALS & CROFTS lyrics - Sweet Green Fields

(Lyrics and music by James Seals, 1967)



Lookin' up the sleeve of confidence, I jump down from the fence.

Been a long time since I've felt this way, let the feeling stay.

Reaching for the arms of love, livin', dreamin', thinkin' of

The moment I slip on the glove, my fear is gone. The grain of hope has grown.



Starin' at the face of happiness, this time it answers yes.

In aging peace my doubts will rest away, let the feeling stay.

Looking through the eyes of truth, I see faith and love and youth.

And all else dries up like the dew, my fear is gone. The grain of hope has grown.

And I'll be running, laughing, playing in the sweet green fields of belonging to someone.



The distant feeling's gone, and I can make it from now on.

My world has something new. It's all because of you.

The sweet green fields growing in my life will never die.



Lookin' up the sleeve of confidence, I jump down from the fence.

Been a long time since I've felt this way, let the feeling stay.

Walking up the road of togetherness, this time I must confess

This day's the very best. My fear is gone. The grain of hope has grown.

And I'll be running, laughing, playing in the sweet green fields of belonging to someone.

Now I'll be running, laughing, playing in the sweet green fields of belonging to someone.

Well I'll be running, laughing, playing in the sweet green fields of belonging to someone.

GREG BROWN lyrics - Walkin' Daddy

I'm walkin' daddy in the steps that you put down

I'm walkin' daddy & i know not where I'm bound



I'm walkin' daddy this road is dark & long

I'm walkin' daddy & your blood is in me strong



I'm walkin' daddy where the jack's fork river bends

Down in missouri where the jack's fork river bends

With you & ma & my sister & with all my dear friends



You're walkin' daddy off through the woods you old hillbilly

You said "this is my son in whom I am well pleased"



Ain't no road a good road until it's free to everyone

We're walkin' daddy father holy ghost & son



Ain't no sorrow can dim the love comes shining through

I'm walkin' daddy I know what I am here to do



To be of use try to help the deal along

I'm walkin' daddy & i'm just gonna keep walkin' on

IRVING BERLIN lyrics - They Love Me

[Verse:]

Oh! What a trip

What a wonderful trip

And to think that I was worried

At the start of the trip

I must confess that I was filled with doubt

But there was really nothing to worry about



[1st refrain:]

They love me, they love me

I'm welcome everywhere with open arms



They love me, they love me

I never knew I had so many charms



In Pakistan they took me sailing on a lovely lake

In India they let me see a mongoose kill a snake



Because they love me, they love me

And they want me to come back again



[2nd refrain:]

They love me, they love me

In Tokyo they think that I'm a dream



They claimed me and named me

"America's Ambassador Supreme"



They always have a banquet on the day that I arrive

In Borneo they made me eat an octopus alive



Because they love me, they love me

And they want me to come back again



[3rd refrain:]

They love me, they love me

With every place I visit it's the same



They meet me and greet me

With every kind of present you can name



A chieftain in New Guinea with his forehead painted red

Presented me with a poison arrow and a shrunken head



Because they love me, oh they love me

And they want me to come back again



[3rd refrain:]

They love me, they love me

I smile when I'm presented with a key



In Thailand 'twas my land

I spent a happy day from two to three



The day I left Arabia my seat was full of bumps

They made me ride a camel where I sat between the humps



Because they love me, they love me

And they want me to come back

They want me to come back

They want me to come back again

SUZANNE VEGA lyrics - The Queen And The Soldier

The soldier came knocking upon the queen's door

He said, "I am not fighting for you any more"

The queen knew she'd seen his face someplace before

And slowly she let him inside.



He said, "I've watched your palace up here on the hill

And I've wondered who's the woman for whom we all kill

But I am leaving tomorrow and you can do what you will

Only first I am asking you why."



Down in the long narrow hall he was led

Into her rooms with her tapestries red

And she never once took the crown from her head

She asked him there to sit down.



He said, "I see you now, and you are so very young

But I've seen more battles lost than I have battles won

And I've got this intuition, says it's all for your fun

And now will you tell me why?"



The young queen, she fixed him with an arrogant eye

She said, "You won't understand, and you may as well not try"

But her face was a child's, and he thought she would cry

But she closed herself up like a fan.



And she said, "I've swallowed a secret burning thread

It cuts me inside, and often I've bled"

He laid his hand then on top of her head

And he bowed her down to the ground.



"Tell me how hungry are you? How weak you must feel

As you are living here alone, and you are never revealed

But I won't march again on your battlefield"

And he took her to the window to see.



And the sun, it was gold, though the sky, it was gray

And she wanted more than she ever could say

But she knew how it frightened her, and she turned away

And would not look at his face again.



And he said, "I want to live as an honest man

To get all I deserve and to give all I can

And to love a young woman who I don't understand

Your highness, your ways are very strange."



But the crown, it had fallen, and she thought she would break

And she stood there, ashamed of the way her heart ached

She took him to the doorstep and she asked him to wait

She would only be a moment inside.



Out in the distance her order was heard

And the soldier was killed, still waiting for her word

And while the queen went on strangeling in the solitude she preferred

The battle continued on

STEVIE WONDER lyrics - Galaxy Paradise

You are so unpredictable

When I am not

You are so irresistible

That I can't stop

You say my name

And start walking on heaven



What flying saucer did you come here on

What extraterrestrial planet are you from

You're much more than life

You are from galaxy paradise

What flying saucer did you come here on

What will they say when they find that you're gone

Say you'll stay in my life

Queen from galaxy paradise



You are so unforgettable

When I will not

Our love's far more than sensual

And twice as hot

You touch my hand

And I know that we'll love forever



What flying saucer did you come here on

What extraterrestrial planet are you from

You're much more than life

You are from galaxy paradise

What flying saucer did you come here on

What will they say when they find that you're gone

Say you'll stay in my life

Queen from galaxy paradise

LINDA RONSTADT lyrics - Damage

(Waddy Wachtel)



I wasn't ready

I gave myself to you

Look at the damage

See what you put me through

I don't want to do what you want me to anymore

I won't feel better 'til I'm walking out of that door



Once you could stop me

Now I can say you won't

I will be going

I'm just afraid I don't

Know how I'm gonna get away from you

And I know I'm never gonna stay with you

Don't want to ever spend another day with you

Look at the damage you've done

Two can turn back into one



You hurt me so much

You'll never do that again

It's time to leave you

This has to come to an end

But I don't know how I'm gonna get away from you

And I know I'm never gonna stay with you

Don't think there's any other way to say to you

Look at the damage you've done

Look at the damage

Look at the damage

Look at the damage you've done

Two can turn back into one

Woah oh

Woah oh

Oh I know

Yes I know

Talking to you

BARBRA STREISAND lyrics - Clopin Clopant

(B. Coquatrix, P. Dudan & K. Goell)



In France when one is walking sadly

They say he walks Clopin Clopant

His step is slow, his fault is badly

Perhaps the one he loves is gone

Clopin Clopant I hear his footsteps

As in the night he passes by

And as I hear his endless footsteps

I get to thinking they'll go out

I'll go along Clopin Clopant

Whispering he's gone, he is gone, he is gone

My childish heart cries like a baby

Without my love what will each day be?

So I go on Clopin Clopant

Trudging alone Clopin Clopant

Love is a dance and one must learn it

I had my chance, why did I spurn it?

What can I do? Why carry on?

Going alone Clopin Clopant, Clopin Clopant, Clopin Clopant...
