SANDRA lyrics - You'll Be Mine



(Cretu/Kemmler - Cretu/Hirschburger)



i've never been lyin'

you've never been tryin'



to my jealousy

you're leavin' me every night

if you would change your mind

just for me



you'll be mine, you'll be mine, b't empty time

seams to burn us up forever

we had that night an' day

looks so fine in my mind, we will find

just the calm where we can hide

i won't delay a promise i made

hear the poundin' of my heart

lyin' in the dark

you'll be mine, you'll be mine, take my time

i won't give up



i wanna be lonesome

i don't wanna rely on



oh my jealousy

it's gonna be for my life

an' if we have no doubt

we can see



you'll be mine, you'll be mine, b't empty time

seams to burn us up forever

we had that night an' day

looks so fine in my mind, we will find

just the calm where we can hide

i won't delay a promise i made

hear the poundin' of my heart

lyin' in the dark

you'll be mine, you'll be mine, take my time

i won't give up


JERMAINE JACKSON lyrics - Let Me Tickle Your Fancy



Like the sun, I rise and shine

With last night on my mind

It's so hard to concentrate

Til our love we recreate



[Chorus:]

Let me tickle your fancy

Let me excite your soul

Let me tickle your fancy

Let me excite your soul



When I think about us

I get all keyed up

And the tantalizing touch

That I love



[Chorus]



Honey words cannot express

The sensation that I get

It's a quiverin tremblin feelin

Make me wiggle

It makes me shake

When I think about us

I get all keyed up

And the tantalizing touch

That I love



[Chorus]



It's gettin late

And I can't wait

To relieve that love we made

I got an itchin in my heart

You control that vital part

(Let me) tantalizing tickle

Keyed up for touch (good God)

C'mon let me tickle your fancy

Let me excite your soul

ROD STEWART lyrics - Country Comforts



(Bernie Taupin, Elton John)



Soon the pines will be falling everywhere

Village children always fighting for fair share

And the six-o-nine goes roarin' down the creek

As Parson Lee prepares his service for next week



I saw grandma yesterday down at the store

Well she's really lookin' fine for eighty-four

And she asked me if some time I'd fix the barn

Poor old girl, she needs a man down on the farm



Chorus:

And it's good old country comforts in my bones

Just the sweetest sound my ears have ever known

Just an old fashioned feeling in my bones

Country comforts and the road that's going home



Down at the mill they've got a new machine

Foreman says it cuts manpower by fifteen

"Oh, but that ain't natural" old man Grayson says

'cause he's a horse-drawn man until his dying days



(Chorus)


ALBERT KING lyrics - Everybody Wants To Go To Heaven



(Don Nix)



Ev'rybody wants to laugh

Ah, but nobody wants to cry

I say ev'rybody wants to laugh

But nobody wants to cry



Ev'rybody wants to go to heaven

But nobody wants to die



Ev'rybody wanna hear the truth

But yet, ev'rybody wants to tell a lie

I say ev'rybody wants to hear the truth

But still they all wanna tell a lie



Oh ev'rybody wants to go to heaven

But nobody wants to die



Ev'rybody wanna know the reason

Without even askin' why

Oh, ev'rybody wanna know the reason

Oh, without even askin' why



You know ev'rybody wanna go to heaven

But nobody wants to die


GOLDEN EARRING lyrics - Please Go



(M. Gerritsen/G. Kooymans)



Please go, before tears come from my eye

You throw my love away, I wonder why

Now I am thinking what the reason could be

You said you got no other love, was it a lie to me

You know I'd really die if I should see

You're making love to a man, no matter who you'll be



Listen baby, you can't imagine what happens to me now

You said you wanna be free like other people always told me before

And so if you won't hurt me

Don't stay in this place where our love started

I ask you, I ask you now



Please go, before tears come from my eye

You throw my love away, I wonder why

Now I am thinking what the reason could be

You said you got no other love, was it a lie to me

You know I'd really die if I should see

You're making love to a man, no matter who



I said please go home now

Before tears come from my eye

I guess you said that I

I should know, oh no, oh no



Please go, before tears come from my eye

You throw my love away, I wonder why


LOU REED lyrics - With You



With you, life moves so fast

With you, everything's the last

Slow down



Don't you think you could be less capricious

I've met you, I don't have no death wish

Slow down, slow down



With you, there is no denying

It's you, not my lack of trying

With you, everybody's dying

It's you, it's not me who's crying

Crying, crying, crying, crying



With you, staying home tidy from the streets

With you, every friend is a possible freak

Slow down, slow down



With you, it's a foregone conclusion

With you, empty, it's all a delusion

With you, I can have no illusions

It's you, who has such delusions

Crying, crying, crying, crying



With you, everyone's a sucker

With you, it's got to be your father

Slow down, slow down



With you, life is just a scramble

With you, every day it's a gamble

With you, I can't get my bearings

With you, playing the Virgin Mary

And your crying, crying, crying, crying

Crying, crying


U. D.O. lyrics - Network Nightmare



(Music: Dirkschneider/Kaufmann - Words: Dirkschneider/Kaufmann)



You're gonna drown out

While you're within the net

A megatronic murder

Upon the world wide web

My mind is "read all memory"

Your access is denied

A massive infestation

Infected RAM inside

I smile - while I'm infecting your veins

My style - I'm Dr. No I'm delivering the blow

I'm your network nightmare

I'm your network nightmare

I'll powersurge the virus

Directly to your brains

A gigabotic meltdown

Manic - cold - insane

I activate the relay

The master of the code

Expect hard driven lessons

All systems overload



[Bridge]



[Chorus]

DONNA SUMMER lyrics - Bad Reputation



When I was young, my momma always told me

I still hear her advice

She said don't ever bet against your feelings

Always think twice

Don't go and throw your love away

To some man just for the night

Promises, promises, don't waste your time

If his intentions don't feel right



Your reputation follows you wherever you go

Don't get a bad reputation

Your reputation can't be bought, it can't be sold

Don't get a bad reputation

Don't need a bad reputation



I'm so thankful momma I am waiting

To find someone who

Was looking in the same direction

That you pointed to



I'll never turn and walk away

If my heart gives me the sign

When the one, comes along

He'll understand

That the wait was worth the while



Your reputation follows you wherever you go

Don't get a bad reputation

Your reputation can't be bought, it can't be sold

Don't get a bad reputation

Don't need a bad reputation



(Momma said, she said)

Listen to me, listen to me, listen to me, listen to me

Listen to me, listen to me, listen to me, listen to me



Your reputation follows you wherever you go

Don't get a bad reputation

Your reputation can't be bought, it can't be sold

Don't get a bad reputation

Don't need a bad reputation..


BAD RELIGION lyrics - Operation Rescue



it is an s. o.s. sent out telepathically, signs of our distress don't

allow complacency, we need restoration now of our integrity and a

drastic bold reminder of our morality, the rectifying troop is here,

the ones we have needed all these yers to stop the heious wrongdoings

and verify our moral benevolence as a people, operation rescue,

they're here to right our fall, they have heard a troubled call,

operation rescue, you may wonder where they come from, but i just

wonder why they're here at all, life ever-after is what they're in the

business for, see them brandish the key to their kingdoms door, it's

persuasive, it's a part of yoy and me but it's not overwhelming as

they wish it to be, if no one believed in fairy tales there would be

nothing they could do but fail yet everywhere we look someone is

trying to reassure our moral benevolence as a poeple, operation

rescue..., you may wonder where they come from, but i just wonder what

compels them all


NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK lyrics - My Favorite Girl



My favorite girl, oh, she's my favorite girl, don't you know,

my favorite girl, oh, she's my favorite girl.



You walked into my life, your love was so new,

and nothing will ever change my feelings for you,

well, you were so far away, now I am close to you, girl,

so let us run away, our heart that's waiting will stay.



My favorite...



There's so much I like in you I can't go on,

I wanted a girl like you I've looked so long,

girl, nothing will make us wrong, I know our love is too strong,

let's leave the rest behind, our dreams ask what we will find.



My favorite...

My favorite...

[Rap:] She's my favorite girl, the one I'm always thinking of, that one.

[Rap:] My favorite girl, the one I love.



My favorite... [repeat & fade ad lib]


JUDAS PRIEST lyrics - Pain And Pleasure



I wanna tell ya, hey, I think you oughta know

The way you're treating me, now, I feel I have ta go

I've heard the rumors, and it seems they're comin' true

You do what suits ya, but then that's nothin' new



Do what you wanna do

Oh what you put me through

How I suffer for your love

Say what you wanna say

You know that you're gonna pay

For all the times I've cried



You give me pain, but you bring me pleasure

Get out of my life

You bring me pain, but you give me pleasure

Don't know what I like.



You've got me tied up, dog upon a leash

Instead of messin' round, practice what you preach

Your days are numbered, my day's arrived

The way I see it, we're dead or we're alive



You give me pain, but you bring me pleasure

Get out of my life

You bring me pain, but you give me pleasure

Don't know what I like.


THE CHURCH lyrics - Cortez The Killer



[Originally by Neil Young]



He came dancing across the water

With galleons and his guns

Looking for the new world

A palace in the sun



On the shore lay Montezuma

With his cocoa leaves and his pearls

In his halls he often wondered

With the secrets of the worlds



And his subjects gathered 'round him

Like the leaves around a tree

In their coats of many colors

For the angry gods to see



And the women all were beautiful

The men were tall and strong

He offered life in sacrifice

So that others could go on



War was just a legend

Hate was quite unknown

And the people worked together

And they lifted many stones



And they carried them to the flatlands

And they died along the way

But they raised up with their bare hands

What we still can't do today



And I know she's living there

She loves me to this day

I still don't know where

Or how I lost my way



He came dancing across the water

Cortez, Cortez

What a killer

What a killer

ERNEST TUBB AND LORETTA LYNN lyrics - Let The World Keep On A Turnin'



(Buck Owens)



Let the world keep on a turnin' let the fire keep on a burnin'

Let our love keep on a growin' to the sky

Let our ship of love keep sailin' keep the storm clouds far away and

Hand in hand we'll walk together side by side



Please don't pay me attention to someone that they should mention

That they saw me in the arms of Mary Jane

Oh it's plain they're only jealous and their hearts are filled with malice

Their intention is to only bring us pain

Let the world keep on a turnin'...

[ steel ]

When they try to cause us trouble we'll politely pop their bubble

By ignoring any gossip they might start

So let the north wind keep a blowin' we'll be safe cause we'll be a knowin'

That our love is safely locked inside our hearts

Let the world keep on a turnin'...

Hand in hand we'll walk together side by side


PAUL MCCARTNEY lyrics - Hope Of Deliverance



I Will Always Be Hoping, Hoping.

You Will Always Be Holding, Holding

My Heart In Your Hand. I Will Understand.



I Will Understand Someday, One Day.

You Will Understand Always,

Always From Now Until Then.



When It Will Be Right, I Don't Know.

What It Will Be Like, I Don't Know.

We Live In Hope Of Deliverance From The Darkness That Surrounds Us.



Hope Of Deliverance, Hope Of Deliverance.

Hope Of Deliverance From The Darkness That Surrounds Us.



And I Wouldn't Mind Knowing, Knowing

That You Wouldn't Mind Going, Going Along With My Plan.



When It Will Be Right, I Don't Know.

What It Will Be Like, I Don't Know.

We Live In Hope Of Deliverance From The Darkness That Surrounds Us.



Hope Of Deliverance, Hope Of Deliverance.

Hope Of Deliverance From The Darkness That Surrounds Us.



Hope Of Deliverance, Hope Of Deliverance.

Hope Of Deliverance From The Darkness That Surrounds Us.



Hope Of Deliverance, Hope Of Deliverance.

Hope Of Deliverance From The Darkness That Surrounds Us.



Hope Of Deliverance, Hope Of Deliverance.

Hope Of Deliverance From The Darkness That Surrounds Us.

AEROSMITH lyrics - Lick And A Promise



Johnny come lately on a Saturday night

Singin' how de do

Backstreet a boogie in the house of delight

Where they steal the show

The money come sour but the ladies are sweet

It's a love affair

Whole place rockin', people stompin' their feet

A when the gang's all there



He gets his woman every night for free

He's out there rockin' like you wouldn't believe

I sing na, na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na, na



Johnny like to gamble with his lady Louise

She was a black jack deuces are wild

He got to thinking 'bout his nose in the breeze

Put it there, Johnny looked and he smiled

He started thinking 'bout the fortune and fame

With the young girls down at his knees

He dug the money but forgot all the names

So he knew just how to appease



[Chorus:]

Lick and a promise

Lick and a promise

Lick and a promise

He gave the ladies a

Lick and a promise



Lick and a promise

He gave the ladies a

Lick and a promise



Loose change grubber in his early, early years

Had his poor mama pacin' the floors

He grabbed a guitar and a couple a beers

Now the crowd keeps screamin' for more



He gets his woman every night for free

He's out there rockin' like you wouldn't believe



I sing na, na, na, na, na

Sing na, na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na


BOB DYLAN lyrics - I'd Have You Any Time



Let me in here, I know I've been here,

Let me into your heart.

Let me know you, let me show you,

Let me roll it to you.

All I have is yours,

All you see is mine

And I'm glad to have you in my arms,

I'd have you any time.



Let me say it, let me play it,

Let me lay it on you.

Let me know you, let me show you,

Let me grow it on you.

All I have is yours,

All you see is mine

And I'm glad to have you in my arms,

I'd have you any time.



Let me in here, I know I've been here,

Let me into your heart.

Let me know you, let me show you,

Let me roll it to you.

All I have is yours,

All you see is mine

And I'm glad to have you in my arms,

I'd have you any time.


ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA lyrics - Believe Me Now



[Instrumental with some words]





Can you hear me?

Ahhhhhh, Something, something!



Believe me now,

I could never say goodbye,

Don't leave me now,

Believe me now.


DIRE STRAITS lyrics - Communique



They wanna get a statement for Jesus' sake

It's like a talking to the wall

He's incommunicado no comment to make

He's saying nothing at all



But in the communique you know he's gonna come clean

Think what he say

Say what he means

Maybe on Monday he got something to say



Communication

Communique

Communique



Maybe he could talk about the tricks of the trade

Maybe he could talk about himself

Maybe he could talk about the money that he made

Maybe he'd be saying something else



But in the communique you know he's gonna come clean

Think what he say,

Say what he means

Maybe on Monday he got something to say



Communication

Communique

Communique



And now the rumors are flying

Speculation rising

Say that he's been trying someone else's wife

Somebody at the airport

Somebody on the phone

Says he's at the station and he's coming on the noon

Then we get the story a serious breeze

And a photograph taken in the hall

You don't have to worry with the previous release

Right now, he's saying nothing at all

But in the communique you know he's gonna come clean

Think what he say

Say what he means

Maybe on Monday he got something to say



Communication

Communique

Communique

OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN lyrics - Everything I Own



(David Gates)



You sheltered me from harm

Kept me warm, kept me warm

You gave my life to me

Set me free, set me free

The finest years I ever knew

Were all the years I had with you



I would give anything I own

Give up my life, my heart, my home

I would give anything I own

Just to have you back again



You taught me how to love

What it's of, what it's of

You never said too much but still you showed the way

And I knew from watching you

Nobody else could ever know

The part of me that can't let go



I would give anything I own

Give up my life, my heart, my home

I would give anything I own

Just to have you back again



Is there someone you know

You're loving them so

You're taking them all for granted

You may lose them one day

Someone takes them away

And they don't hear the words you long to say



I would give anything I own

Give up my life, my heart, my home

I would give anything I own

Just to have you back again

Just to touch you once again


JOHN LEE HOOKER lyrics - Pea Vine Special

NEIL DIAMOND lyrics - If You Know What I Mean



When the night returns just like a friend

When the evening comes to set me free

When the quiet hours

That wait beyond the day

Make peaceful sounds in me



Took a drag from my last cigarette

Took a drink from a glass of old wine

I closed my eyes and I could make it real

And feel it one more time



Can you hear it, babe

Can you hear it, babe

From another time, from another place

Do you remember it, babe



And the radio played like a carnival tune

As we lay in our bed in the other room

When we gave it away

For the sake of a dream in a penny arcade

If you know what I mean

If you know what I mean, babe



And here's to the songs we used to sing

And here's to the times we used to know

It's hard to hold them in our arms again

But hard to let them go

Do you hear it, babe

Do you hear it, babe



It was another time

It was another place

Do you remember it, babe



And the radio played like a carnival tune

As we lay in our bed in the other room

When we gave it away

For the sake of a dream in a penny arcade

If you know what I mean

If you know what I mean

If you know what I mean

If you know what I mean



If you know what I mean, babe

If you know what I mean

JOE COCKER lyrics - Sticks And Stones



(Turner)



People talkin', tryin' to break us up

Why don't they let us be

Sticks and stones may break my bones

But talk don't bother me



(No) People talkin', tryin' to break us up

When they know that I love you so

So I don't care what the people might say

I'm never gonna let you go



I've been abused (I've been abused)

In my heart (I've been accused)

I've been accused (I've been accused)

I've been rebuked and I've been stomped



(Well) People talkin', tryin' to break us up

They're scandalizing my name

They'll say anything just to make me feel bad

They'll say anything to make me shamed



I've been abused (I've been abused)

In my heart (I've been accused)

I've been accused (I've been accused)

I've been rebuked and I've been stomped



(Well) People talkin', tryin' to break us up

They're scandalizing my name

They'll say anything just to make me feel bad

They'll say anything to make me shamed

THE TEMPTATIONS lyrics - Fading Away



The feeling we used to get, whenever our lips met.

Like smoke from a cigarette, it's fading away.

Fading away, fading away.



It hurts me to think about, how love where there was no doubt.

Like a cloud when the sun comes out, it's fading away.

Fading away, fading away.



Hmm, you've changed and it's showing, baby.

You've changed and it's showing.

Tell me, where is your love going?



The plans we were making up, for I'll never breaking up.

Like dreams when you're waking up, are fading away.

Fading away, fading away.



The good times we shared alot, when you really cared alot.

Like steam from a coffee pot, it's fading way.

Fading away, fading away.



You've changed and it's showing, baby.

You've changed and it's showing.

Tell me, where is your love going?



[Instrumental]



Like smoke from a cigarette, of dreams that you soon forget.

Our love from the day we met, it's fading away.

Fading away, fading away.



You've changed and it's showing, baby.

You've changed and it's showing.

Tell me, where is your love going?

Going.



You've changed and it's showing, baby.

You've changed and it's showing.

Tell me, where is your love going?

Going.


HAWKWIND lyrics - The Secret Agent



(Brock)



I was trained in Arizona,

in a secret desert camp

where we did night manoeuvres

without a lighted lamp.

I've got an old worn Trilby hat

that doesn't keep me dry

when the rain falls on my mac

plays havoc with the dye

I wear my dark shades every day of the year

when I see my reflection it strikes a note of fear.

I've got a dozen gadgets concealed in my clothes

I've got some suicide pills that taste like herb of cloves

I've not got a single friend just my armpit gun

and when I go to bed at night it certainly helps me son

I'm always getting in tight spots

I manage to escape

by either jumping off a train

or swimming in a lake

soon I'm in a right state

I'm a secret agent there's nowhere you can hide

I'm a secret agent taking you for a ride

what's your name what's your game

details never stop

work alone on your own

collar up, hat pulled down

on the beach, with a peach

sometimes good, sometimes bad

drinking coffee, feeling sad.

There's one thing that I want to be involved with

That's Truth and Justice and I sincerely mean that.

And if everybody was involved in Truth and Justice

There would be no need for secret agents.

That's what happens when you get in tight spots.

He's in a tight spot

I've yet to crack-up

Ain't got no backup

what's your name

what's your game

A bit strung out

Ain't got no backup

I'm beginning to crack-up

Think I'll go bankrupt

It's all confusion

disappearing without a trace

I'm a secret agent

He's in a tight spot

Attention, Attention

REPEAT VERSE 1

and everybody rushes away to hide

certainly take you for a ride baby! baby!

(listen)

REPEAT VERSE 2

That's because I'm in a tight spot

He's in a tight spot

I like tight spots

He's in a tight spot

What's your name, what's your game

Details never stop.

Working alone on your own

There's no backup beginning to crack-up

no backup beginning to crack-up

It's a rainy night, neon light

rainy night, neon light

rainy night, neon light

Beginning to crack-up

Ain't got no backup


BARRY MANILOW lyrics - I Only Have Eyes For You



My love must be a kind of blind love

I can't see anyone but you

And dear, I wonder if you find love

An optical illusion, too?



Are the stars out tonight?

I don't know if it's cloudy or bright

'Cause I only have eyes for you, dear

The moon may be high

But I can't see a thing in the sky

'Cause I only have eyes for you.



I don't know if we're in a garden

Or on a crowded avenue

You are here, so am I

Maybe millions of people go by

But they all disappear from view

And I only have eyes for you


ELTON JOHN lyrics - Postcards From Richard Nixon



(Music by Elton John, lyrics by Bernie Taupin)



We heard Richard Nixon say, welcome to the USA

The common sense I sometimes lack

Has opened up a seismic crack

We've fallen in and I can't pull back

And I guess we'll have to stay



In open arms we put our trust they put us on a big red bus

Twin spirits soaking up a dream

Fuel to feed the press machine

After years that were long and lean

We're finally on our way



[Chorus:]

And Richard Nixon's on his knees he's sent so many overseas

He'd like to know if you and me could help him in some way

A little camouflage and glue to mask the evil that men do

A small diversion caused by two, pale kids come to play

And we heard Richard Nixon say "welcome to the USA"



Neither of us understood the way things ticked in Hollywood

We just loaded in and grabbed the bat

With little room to swing a cat

And pretty soon we were where it's at

Or so the papers say



And all around us suntanned teens, beauty like we'd never seen

Our heroes led us by the hand

Through Brian Wilson's promised land

Where Disney's God and he commands

Both mice and men to stay



[Chorus]



In a bright red Porsche on Sunset I saw Steve McQueen

I guess he's just about the coolest guy I've ever seen

And for you and me that speeding car is how it's going to be

I see no brakes just open road and lots of gasoline



Oh we heard Richard Nixon say, welcome to the USA

The common sense I sometimes lack

Has opened up a seismic crack

We've fallen in and I can't pull back



Pale kids come to play

And we heard Richard Nixon say, I've gotta go but you can stay


MADNESS lyrics - The Sweetest Girl



(Green)



The sweetest girl in all the world

These eyes are for you only

The sweetest girl in all the world

These eyes are for you only

The sweetest girl in all the world

These words that die before me

The sweetest girl in all the world

These words that die before me



When we walk in the park

I never can tell

When we walk in the dark

I never can tell

It's just loving it

Ooooo loving it



The sweetest boy in all the world

His life has got so lonely

The sweetest boy in all the world

His life has got so lonely

The maddest group in all the world

How could they do this to me

The maddest group in all the world

How could they do this to me



What I want I shall take

What you think that you know

Oooo such an awful mistake

To never let go



When the government falls

I wish I could tell

When necessity calls

I never can tell



The weakest link in any chain

I always want to find them

The strongest words in each belief

Find out what's behind them

Politics is prior to the vagaries of science

She left because she understood

The value of defiance



The sweetest girl in all the world

These eyes are for you only

The sweetest boy in all the world

His life has got so lonely

The sweetest girl in all the world

These words that die before you

She wants to go but she don't know why

Loving it oooo loving it

The maddest group in all the world

How could they do this to me

The sweetest boy in all the world

His life has got so lonely

The sweetest girl in all the world

These words that die before you

The sweetest boy in all the world

His life has got so lonely


DAVID BOWIE lyrics - Reality



Tragic youth was looking young and sexy

The tragic youth was wearing tattered black jeans

Bearing arms and flaunting all her mischief

The tragic youth was going down on me



And I swear

Woo hoo

Yes I swear



I built a wall of sound to separate us

And hid among the junk of wretched highs

I sped from Planet X to Planet Alpha

Struggling for reality



Ha ha ha ha

Woo hoo

Ha ha ha ha

Whoo hoo



Hey, now my sight is failing in this twilight

Da da da da da da da da da

Now my death is more than just a sad song

Da da da da da da da da da

And I swear

Woo hoo

Yes I swear

Woo hoo



I still don't remember how this happened

I still don't get the wherefores and the whys

I look for sense but I get next to nothing

Hey boy welcome to reality



Ha ha ha ha

Woo hoo



I've been right and I've been wrong

Now I'm back where I started from

Never looked over reality's shoulder



Ha ha ha ha

Huh ha ha ha

Woo hoo



Huh ha ha

Wooh

Woo hoo

Wooh


SKID ROW (GARY MOORE) lyrics - Unco-Up Showband Blues



(Brendan "Brush" Shiels/Noel Bridgeman/Gary Moore)



Well, I tell all you pretty girls.

Hey, all you pretty girls

With your pretty faces.

Yeah, I wanna tell all you pretty girls.

Mm, all you pretty girls

With your pretty faces.

You know, do you ever meet these girls, baby.

Ho, but I say nothing and made no mistakes.



I got a job in a showband.

Working like a slave

Six nights and every Sunday.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You know they put me,

Put me on a weekly wage.

But I say nothing, no, and made, made no mistakes.



I got a job in a showband.

Working like a slave

Six nights and every Sunday.

Tadda-da, tadda-da, tadda-da,

Tadda-da, tadda.

Baby, baby, hey I'm old,

Do you ever meet, ever meet these girls.

But I say nothing and never made my big mistake.


BARCLAY JAMES HARVEST lyrics - Hymn



Valley's deep and the mountain's so high

If you want to see God you've got to move on the other side

You stand up there with your head in the clouds

Don't try to fly you know you might not come down

Don't try to fly, dear God, you might not come down

Jesus came down from Heaven to earth

The people said it was a virgin birth

Jesus came down from Heaven to earth

The people said it was a virgin birth



He told great stories of the Lord

And said he was the saviour of us all

He told great stories of the Lord

And said he was the saviour of us all



For this they/we killed him, nailed him up high

He rose again as if to ask us why

Then he ascended into the sky

As if to say in God alone you soar

As if to say in God alone we fly.



Valley's deep and the mountain's so high

If you want to see God you've got to move on the other side

You stand up there with your head in the clouds

Don't try to fly you know you might not come down

Don't try to fly, dear God, you might not come down

STEVIE WONDER lyrics - Kiss Lonely Good-Bye



Give me a chance to catch my breath

Cause I'm in a state of awe

Guess miracles do never cease

For we're back together now



Pardon me please if I pinch myself

So to know this is not a dream

As I reminisce the love e shared

And the pain there was between



Look at the clouds in the sky

They seem so happy now

Look at the sun, feel its rays

With such a smiling face

Maybe we can't but maybe we can

With the love that we're feeling inside

Share it with all the world and see each heart

Kiss lonely good-bye



If given a chance to live again

I'd change not a single thing

Cause that little chance could sadly mean

That you to me faith wouldn't bring



Partly I cry for those linely nights

And a heartache I thought couldn't end

Yet joyfully I cry cause I know our love

We won't let us lose again, never again



Look at the clouds in the sky

They seem so happy now

Look at the sun, feel its rays

With such a smiling face

Maybe we can't but maybe we can

With the love that we're feeling inside

Share it with all the world and see each heart

Kiss lonely good-bye



Look at the clouds in the sky

They seem so happy now

Look at the sun, feel its rays

With such a smiling face

Maybe we can't but maybe we can

With the love that we're feeling inside

Share it with all the world and see each heart

Share it with all the world and see each heart

Share it with all the world and see each heart kiss lonely good-bye

Share it with all the world and see each heart kiss lonely good-bye


HERBIE HANCOCK lyrics - Hush, Hush, Hush



(Paula Cole)



[Originally by Paula Cole]



Long white arms

Losing their strength and form

Sixty year man on twenty year old skin

Skeleton, your eyes have lost their warmth

Look to your father for some support



[Chorus:]

Hush, hush, hush



Says your daddy's touch

Sleep sleep sleep

Says the hundredth sheep

Peace peace peace

May you go in peace



Cruel joke you waited so long to show

The one that you wanted wasn't a girl

All your life you kept it hidden inside

Now when you step

You stumble

You die



[Chorus]



Oh maybe next time

You'll be henry the 8th

Wake up tomorrow, alexander the great

Open your eyes in a new life again

Oh maybe next time

You'll be given a chance



Hush, hush, hush

Hush...


J. J. CALE lyrics - Tijuana



(J. J. Cale)



Just below San Diego

Tijuana, land of broken dreams

Senoritas dancing in the moonlight

Flashing Spanish dark eyes to everyone, it seems

They say "Hey, gringo

Can you take us across the border

Just tell them I'm your daughter

Of a local."

Down the backstreets, through the alleys

All the young men stand with pride

They guard the palace to the kingdom

Called Tijuana, their heritage they decide

They say "Hey, gringo

Can you take us across the border

We'll work for just a quarter

On the other side"


MOTLEY CRUE lyrics - Hypnotized



Oh, everybody, do you hear the big bass drum?

Louder, louder

Yeah, it's gettin' in you

Like the needle from a gun

Deeper, deeper

Oh, we don't need it

Since we've taken to the lust

Once you've slept with the rhythm, baby

The danger is a must



You're hypnotized, you're tripnotized

Oh, don't you hear it call your name?

You're hypnotized, yeah



Hey, turn it louder, 'cause I want to feel the push

Harder, harder

Ooo, under your skin

Well, slidin' through your veins

Well, I've got a nasty habit, babe

I always do it again



You're hypnotized, you're tripnotized

Oh, don't you hear it call your name?

You're mesmerized



You're hypnotized, you're tripnotized

Oh, don't you hear it call your name?

You're paralysed, hypnotized

Oh, don't you hear it call your name?

You're tranquilized, yeah

SAXON lyrics - One Step Away



Just another kid in the firing line

Up against the wall running out of time

Makes no difference what you do

That poison's taking hold of you (hold of you)



No warning

There's danger

This pain is

No stranger

You're falling

I hear you calling

Desperation

Is just one step away

One step away



Just another girl with the crying eyes

Up against the wall running out of lies

Makes no difference where she goes

That poison drags her down below (down below)



No warning

There's danger

This pain is

No stranger

You're falling

I hear you calling

Desperation

Is just one step away

One step away

One step away

One step away



Just another day like the one before

Living on the streets running from the law

Makes no difference what you said

That poison's got you in its web (in its web)



No warning

There's danger

This pain is

No stranger

You're falling

I hear you calling

Desperation

Is just one step away

One step away

One step away

One step away


GEORGE BENSON lyrics - Skylark



Skylark,

Have you anything to say to me?

Won't you tell me where my love can be?

Is there a meadow in the mist

Where someone's waiting to be kissed?



Skylark,

Have you seen a valley green with spring?

Where my heart can go a journeying

Over the shadows and the rain

To a blossom covered lane?



And in your lonely flight,

Haven't you heard the music in the night?

Wonderful music,

Faint as a will-o'-the-wisp,

Crazy as a loon,

Sad as a gypsy serenading the moon!



Oh Skylark,

I don't know if you can find these things,

But my heart is riding on your wings,

So, if you see them anywhere,

Won't you lead me there?


BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD lyrics - A Child's Claim To Fame



Well there goes another day

Now I wonder why

You and I, keep telling lies



I can't believe that what you say

'Cause tomorrows lullaby can't pacify

My lonesome crying



Make believe that's all you know

And to make believe is a game

A child's rein, you've changed your name



So sadly I watched the show

I watched you became, truth is the shame

Yeah, too much pain

ROXETTE lyrics - Physical Fascination



Hi!



I got to go, get aboard attack a love jet

Heaven and back

My - my-my-my-my-my-my



And I got to find a power station with a beat

I can't take no conversation

Looking for the inspiration

All succumb to the physical fascination

All succumb to the physical fascination



Hi!



Shake shake it up, this love divine

You're out of touch, babe

I'm going out of my mind

My-my-my-my-my-my-mind



Talk to me! Why don't you talk to me?

C'mon and use your body language

And have yourself a good time

My-my - my-my-my-my-my



And radiate your sweet temptation

All succumb to the physical fascination

All succumb to the physical fascination



And radiate your sweet temptation

All succumb to the physical fascination

All succumb to the physical fascination

I said: all succumb to the physical fascination

And all surrender to the physical fascination

Yea yea yea yea


BOB DYLAN lyrics - A Fool Such As I



Now and then there's a fool such as I

Pardon me if I'm sentimental, came to say goodbye

Don't be angry, don't be angry with me, should I cry

When you are gone, I will dream a little dream as years go by

Now and then there is a fool, a fool such as I.



Now and then there's a fool such as I am over you

You taught me how to love and now you happened to be untrue

I am a fool but I love you, dear, yes I will until the day I die.

Now and then there is a fool, a fool such as I.



Pardon me if I'm sentimental, came to say goodbye

Don't be angry, don't be angry with me, should I cry

When you are gone, when you are gone, I will dream a little

I will dream as years go by

Now and then, now and then there is a fool, a fool such as I.



Now and then there's a fool, a fool such as I am over you

You taught me how to love and now you say that we are through

I am a fool, yes, but I love you dear, I will love you dear

Till the day, till the day I die

Now and then, now and then there is a fool, a fool such as I.

Now and then there is a fool, a fool such as I.

Now and then there is a fool, a fool such as I.


ELTON JOHN lyrics - Satellite



Well you come on like a comet, ideas in your head

Starving for affection, waiting to be fed



Crazy like a full moon, eyes open wide

Taking in everything you need to stay alive



Who leads who, who knows where

If you leave me now will I see you again



I'm telling you love bites

Like a satellite

Going round and round

It's something, something you can't fight

Oh in the daylight

And even in the dark night

I want you to surround me

Surround me like a satellite



Oh you move like a shadow of your own design

Do you want to trap me in between the lines



I don't walk on water if you think I can

If you want a miracle call up a Superman



Are we there

Is this love

Is this a space race

That we're both part of


ALICE COOPER lyrics - I'm Your Gun



I'm dressed in black

I'm heart attack

And my draw is lightning quick

If you're looking for a man with a magic hands

I can really do the trick

And if you see me on the street

And you're burnin'from the heat

There's a fire down below

You be the target on the bed

I'll be shooting hot lead

Let me take control

You're scared little girl in this big, bad town

So easy to sink, so easy to drown

Pull my trigger, I get bigger

Then I'm lots of fun

I'm your gun

I'm your gun, gun, gun

Bite my bullet

Push and pull it

Tell me I'm the one

I'm your gun

I'm your gun, gun, gun

Hold on steady, always ready, yeah

Well, I'm as hard as they come

I'm a hit and run

I'm a pistol packin'boy

Better walk real slow

I'm on the edge, y'know

And I'm easily annoyed

If someone's giving you trouble

I'll be there on the double

Just call me on the line

I've got the muscle I can flex

It'll fog your little specs

Till you think you're going blind

I know these streets like scars on my back

And I stay as loaded as this gun on my back

Pull my trigger, I get bigger

Then I'm lots of fun

I'm your gun

I'm your gun, gun, gun

Bite my bullet

Push and pull it

Tell me I'm the one

I'm your gun

I'm your gun, gun, gun

Squeeze it tighter

Aim and fire, yeah

Hold on steady, always ready

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Pull my trigger, I get bigger

Then I'm lots of fun

I'm your gun

I'm your gun, gun, gun

Rub my barrel

Straight and narrow

Dress up like a nun

I'm your gun

I'm your gun, gun, gun

Load my clip and lick your lips

This is gettin'fun

I'm your gun

I'm your gun, gun, gun

Hold on steady, always ready, yeah!


THE OFFSPRING lyrics - Race Against Myself



All I want

All I need

Always lies just out of reach

I've been coming up empty



I've run as fast

As I can run

I've pushed as hard as anyone

Still there's nothing for me



I've tried as hard as I can

I've taken all I can stand

But I am running a race

Against myself



Burning out

Strung along

Now my sorrow is my song

My whole world is half-hearted



For my pain

I have none

After all is said and done

Now I'm back where I started



I've gone as far as I can

I've taken all I can stand

But I am running a race

Against myself


JANIS JOPLIN lyrics - Down On Me



Down on me, down on me,

Looks like everybody in this whole round world

They're down on me.



Love in this world is so hard to find

When you've got yours and I got mine.

That's why it looks like everybody in this whole round world

They're down on me.



Saying they're down on me, down on me.

Looks like everybody in this whole round world

Down on me.



When you see a hand that's held out toward you,

Give it some love, some day it may be you.

That's why it looks like everybody in this whole round world

They're down on me, yeah.



Lord, they're down on me, down on me, oh!

Looks like everybody in this whole round world

Is down on me.



Believe in your brother, have faith in man,

Help each other, honey, if you can

Because it looks like everybody in this whole round world

Is down on me.



I'm saying they're down on me, all down on me, oh!

It looks like everybody in this whole round world

Down on me!!


ICE CUBE lyrics - The World Is Mine



[Dangerous Ground Soundtrack]



The world is mine ([whispered] the world is mine)

[4x]



The world, belongs to me

Niggaz don't know my pedigree, W-S to the C

We be them hogs, that make it rain cats and dogs

We got the "Bud" just like them frogs

Now everybody on the West, show some love

And everybody on the East, respect the Corniche, it's not on lease

Breakin laws, swimmin through the water like Jaws

Gumby's pause, and take they drawers, no balls

God damnit, niggaz take my planet for granted I can't stand it

Catch a flight across the Atlantic

Step off the plane, nuttin but expense of the game

Bitch I'm rich you know my name, show me the cane

Now are you sure? One hundred percent pure

Cause if it's not, believe me the shit gettin hot

I got a plot to make your whole family deaf dumb and blind

(tell em one more time) the world is mine



[Chorus: Ice Cube]

The world is mine nigga, back up

I gots to get mine before I act up

[2x]



It's a quarter to eight, I'm not finished my plate

I got a phone call to make, my niggaz tell me it's fake

Oh what a mistake, here's what I want you to break

Tie his feet with some weight, throw his ass in a lake

And then set up a date, between me and his mate

Tell her lobster and steak, and bitch don't be late

Oh the pussy was great, I'm still sealin your fate

Cause you can't imitate, the nigga you love to hate



[Chorus]



Can I grin, show my fin, I'm down with mack 10

Dub-C, K-Dee, and Kausion

It don't stop, niggaz get to bowin a lot

When we enter the spot, look all the niggaz we got

Worldwide, nigga take a look outside

Got a brother named Clyde, he's like Jekyll and Hyde

Ice Cube is the lick, Westside is the click

(Can't get enough of this gangsta shit)

You wanna check our cajones we got the feds up on us

We gotta roll on Daytonas because we know that they want us

And if they catch us in rap, it's a reasonable doubt

My niggaz pointin me out, my momma scream and she shout

But we got enough green, from our triple beam

To hire the prosecution, and the dream team

This world ain't nuttin but a dollar sign (ching ching)

I'm a partner in crime, the world is mine



[Chorus]



[Mack 10:]

Yeah, you punk ass niggaz know the side, so check it

When you meet us, you better bring your heaters

Cause the only way you could beat us, is if you cheat us nigga



[Chorus]



[Mack 10:]

We tight, ha hah

Where you from nigga?

Where you from nigga?



(tell them one mo' time)

[Ice Cube:] The world is mine [4x]



Ha ha ha, Westside

ERIC CLAPTON lyrics - Bell Bottom Blues



(Eric Clapton)



[Chorus:]

Bell bottom blues, you made me cry.

I don't want to lose this feeling.

And if I could choose a place to die

It would be in your arms.



Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you?

Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back?

I'd gladly do it because

I don't want to fade away.

Give me one more day, please.

I don't want to fade away.

In your heart I want to stay.



It's all wrong, but it's all right.

The way that you treat me baby.

Once I was strong but I lost the fight.

You won't find a better loser.



[Chorus 2x]



Bell bottom blues, don't say goodbye.

I'm sure we're gonna meet again,

And if we do, don't you be surprised

If you find me with another lover.



[Chorus]



I don't want to fade away.

Give me one more day please.

I don't want to fade away.

In your heart I long to stay.

PAUL MCCARTNEY & WINGS lyrics - Girls' School



Sleepy head, kid sister

lying on the floor

18 years and younger, boy

Well she knows what she's waiting for

Yuki's a cool school mistress

She's an oriental princess

She shows films in the classroom, boy

The put the paper on the windows.



Ah...what can the sisters do

Ah...Girls' School



Head nurse is Sister Scala

Now she's a Spanish doll

She runs a full body out call massage parlour

From the teacher's hail



Ah...what can the sisters do

Ah...Girls' School



Well now, Roxanne's he woman trainer

She puts the Kids to bed

She gives them pills in a paper cup

And she knocks them on the head



Ah...what can the sisters do

Ah...Girls' School

Ah...what can the sisters do

Ah...Girls' School

She shows films in the classroom, boy

The put the paper on the windows.



Ah...what can the sisters do

Ah...Girls' School


CHRIS DE BURGH lyrics - Here For You



I don't know where the time has gone, suddenly here we are alone,

Only a word before you go, everyone's waiting;

So many friends to say goodbye, so many tears they'll have to cry,

So many wings to help you fly where you are going;



And now a plane must take away my child that life has found,

And you will be up in the sky, and I'll be on the ground,

Sending my love with you tonight;



I will be waiting, I will be waiting, here for you, here for you;



I don't know where the years have gone,

Suddenly here, and you have grown,

It was like only yesterday when you were so young;

But here is the day we had to see, always the same eternally,

This is the way that it must be, now it is your world;



And so a plane must take away my child that time has found,

And you will be up in the sky, and I'll be on the ground,

Sending my dreams with you tonight;



I will be waiting.....I'm trying not to show,

But seeing you go, is the hardest thing that I have known;



I will be waiting, don't worry 'bout me, I'll be alright

I will be waiting, don't worry 'bout me, I'll be alright,

Here for you, here for you,



I don't know where the years have gone.....

NICK CAVE AND THE BAD SEEDS lyrics - Jangling Jack



Jangling Jack

Goes Yackety Yack

Visits the home of the brave

Hails a fat yellow cab

Jack wanna celebrate

Jack wanna big drink

Driver drops him at a bar

Called the Rinky Dink

Jack pushes through the door

And crosses the floor

Tips his hat to a man

Grinning in the corner

Going Do da do Do da do



Says, I'm Jangling Jack

I go Do da do

I wanna Rinky Dink Special

I wanna little umbrella too

Jack flops on his stool

Sees the grinning man laugh

So Jack laughs back

Jack raises his glass

Says, God bless this country

And everything in it

The losers and the winners

The good guys and the sinners

The grinning man says, Buddy

It's all Yackety Yack

Whips out a little black pistol

Shoots a bullet in Jack



Jangling Jack

Do Da Do Do Da Do

Jangling Jack

How do you Do Da Do



Jangling Jack Flies off his seat

Crashes through the door

Lands in a heap on the street

Hears his mother's voice

Going, Do do do

Jack is shouting

Mummy is that you?

He sees the berserk city

Sees the dead stacked in piles

Sees the screaming crowd

Screams, Where am I?

Going Do da do Going Do da do



Well Jangling Jack

As a matter of fact

Crawls through the crowd

Back into the bar

Jack crawls to his stool

Jack drags himself up

Falls back down on his arse

In a puddle of blood

Going Goodbye Mummy

Goodbye Goodbye

Jack doubles over

And he vomits and dies

Going Do do do Going Do do do


THE HOLLIES lyrics - Burn Out



(Clarke / Sylvester / Hicks)



Jimmy's outside with his motor engine hummin'

Sent me along to see if you were comin'

Out onto the highway gonna break the city limits

Jimmy's gettin ready gonna put his foot in it

Soft shoe Louie drinkin with his floozy Sue

Got the invitation the burn out's due



I'd be a rebel when I'm good and ready

Headin for the bar

Tell Jimmy to cool it

But not to go too far



Burn out on highway nine

There's gonna be a burn out on highway nine



Louie and Jimmy didn't know about the plan

Cops out on the highway

Gonna take the job at hand

Been hidin out for Louie gonna get him canned

Gonna catch him in the action

He's gonna wanna make a stand



Jimmy's impatient wants to burn on rubber

He's gotta wait for Louie

Cause there ain't no other

The undisputed king of the road said "Jimmy, I'm ready You better shift your load"



Burn out on highway nine

There's gonna be a burn out on highway nine

C'mon and get it, boy



Louie and Jimmy's out to have a fight

Shakin hands with the man below

Stokin' out the flames

Flames burnin' higher

One of them has gotta go

One of them has gotta go



Highway nine and they're starting to roll

Jimmy's hearts thumpin

Blood runnin cold

Louie looks over and gives a sly smile

Says look in your mirror boy

Cops are behind

Get a move on Jimmy

You're fallin for the trap

There's only one winner

The loser takes the rap

Well, Bye bye Jimmy,

Don't wait for me inside

I'm goin back to floozy Sue

And thanks for the ride



Burn out on highway nine

There's gonna be a burn out on highway nine

Burn out on highway nine

There's gonna be a burn out on highway nine


NEW EDITION lyrics - Come Home With Me



I'm standing here all alone this nights about to end

(I'm looking for somebody)

To wil' out with me sexually

Come with me baby

Girl it's been long

Close the door

Shed your clothes for me nice and slow

Will you dance for me(dance for me)

Freak for me(freak for me)

Jump in my bed so I can take you undercover

Making love room to room until the sun's up

Then I'll let you fall asleep naked on me (naked on me)

This is our bedroom scene (baby baby baby baby baby baby baby)

(Get ready to take my love tonight) (alright)

See cause I'm gonna take you all the way donw tonight

(Get ready for what's in me through love)

See I want to wrap my arms around you tonight

And I want you to feel my love (get ready to taste my love every drop)

Cause I run deep so deep so deep

Inside your love cause I got one question for you baby (ahhhhhhhhh)

If you're ready to feel it and taste it

Come on and take it



[Chorus til end]


ALPHAVILLE lyrics - Elegy



(Lyrics: Janey Diamond / Music: Gold-Bloss)



He is sitting on a hill

A vapid night is crawling through the vale

The trees are fangs of transiency

The demons forge hammers and nails

He will travel all the ways

That lead to the unknown lands

Time has distorted his view

An amen in his due

He is gazing at the skies

Without yearning in his eyes

And he will follow the invisible trace

When the sirens sing again...

The spring is in the air, the silence in the skies

The wind is in his hair, the moon is in his eyes

The bats play on but he'll be gone

Before the world has left the night

...the birds sing on but he has gone

Before the morning spreads its light


BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN lyrics - Johnny 99



Well they closed down the auto plant in Mahwah late that month

Ralph went out lookin' for a job but he couldn't find none

He came home too drunk from mixin'

Tanqueray and wine

He got a gun shot a night clerk now they call 'm Johnny 99



Down in the part of town where when you hit a red light you don't stop

Johnny's wavin' his gun around and threatenin' to blow his top

When an off duty cop snuck up on him from behind

Out in front of the Club Tip Top they slapped the cuffs on Johnny 99



Well the city supplied a public defender but the judge was Mean John Brown

He came into the courtroom and stared poor Johnny down

Well the evidence is clear gonna let the sentence son fit the crime

Prison for 98 and a year and we'll call it even Johnny 99



A fistfight broke out in the courtroom they had to drag Johnny's girl away

His mama stood up and shouted "judge don't take my boy this way"

Well son you got a statement you'd like to make

Before the bailiff comes to forever take you away



Now judge I got debts no honest man could pay

The bank was holdin' my mortgage and they was takin' my house away

Now I ain't sayin' that makes me an innocent man

But it was more 'n all this that put that gun in my hand



Well your honor I do believe I'd be better off dead

And if you can take a man's life for the thoughts that's in his head

Then won't you sit back in that chair and think it over judge one more time

And let 'em shave off my hair and put me on that execution line


JUNIOR WELLS lyrics - Hoodoo Man



(Sonny Boy Williamson I (John Lee))



Lord, I wonder what's the matter, I'm crying all the time

The minutes seem like hours, everything's the same

But I'm holding my hand, Lord I'm trying to make my baby understand



Somebody done tell me, Junior, somebody done hoodoo the hoodoo man

I buzzed your bell this morning, elevator running slow

I buzzed your bell this morning, take me up to your third floor.

But I'm holding my hand, Lord I'm trying to make my baby understand



I'm gonna tell you one time, ain't gonna tell you no more

If I have to tell you again, I'm gonna let you go

But I'm holding my hand, Lord I'm trying to make my baby understand

THE FLAMING LIPS lyrics - Be My Head



You can be my head

Oh, I really need one

'cause it's used all its better days

You can be my head

'cause I've ruined this one

Blasting holes where it used to be



And if it's not a big thing,

You could swap or lend me

You should stop and ask me



Be my head, and I'll be yours [2x]



You can be my head

Oh, they've eaten this one

Putting swirls in this giant hole

You can be my head

'cause I can't afford to buy one

Seeking stars in its other side



And if it's not a big thing,

You could swap or lend me

You should stop and ask me



Be my head, and I'll be yours [2x]

Won't you be my head, and I'll be yours

Be my head and I'll be yours [3x]


EMMYLOU HARRIS lyrics - Can You Hear Me Now



(Emmylou Marris/Malcolm Burn)



O the walls are closin' in I can feel it in my bones

Like water risin' up to my chin

Another long night to be alone

I could go out on the town

Talk too much and laugh too loud

If I'm already on my way down

I might as well just work the crowd



Can you hear me now



O the stories I could teil

Sometimes I really hit my stride

We make our own Heaven and our own Heil

Tryin' to get across to the other side

But everyday ends up the same

One step up, two steps back

Like some old silent movie frame

Zoom in close, then fade to black



Can you hear me now



How did the load get to be

so heavy I used to wear my troubie like a crown

A bad flood's poundin' on the levee

And l'm gonna need some help

To hold my ground



But I'm sinkin' like a stone

To where in solitude this life I'll spend

In the coldest place I've ever known

I'm here just waitin' until the end I send up my S. O.S.

A message in a bottle set out to sea It just reads "Soul in distress"

But nobody ever got back to me Can you hear me now


THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS lyrics - "Returning To The U. S."



[From the Venue Songs DVD:]

Returning once again to the United States, They Might Be Giants enters the Old Dominion, Charlottesville, Virginia. Here, Thomas Jefferson founded the University Of Virginia, and built his magnificent bat cave, Monticello, where he made sweet love to Sally Hemings. Moved by the aesthetic brilliance and the enlightenment ideals of America's third president, They Might Be Giants creates a song for the Starr Hill Music Hall that is steeped in history.



[Alternate version:]

Returning once again to the United States, They Might Be Giants enters the Old Dominion, Charlottesville, VA. Despite being "pigeonholed" by "critics" as "Brooklyn-based", true rock historians know well the band's earliest beginnings as the hard-drinking, Southern-fried sound engineers for the third lead guitarist in the boogie rock band.38 Special. At the [http://www. starrhill. com/ Starr Hill Music Hall], They Might Be Giants finally has a chance to put on their imaginary buckskin jumpsuits, let down their imaginary waist-long hair, and imaginarily rock it the way they imagined they once did.


THE TEMPTATIONS lyrics - Take A Look Around



Feather in your cap if you catch a robber,

Dirt in your face if your scheme falls through

Pay close attention to my story

Youll find every word is true.

Junk man standing on the corner

Selling death, no concience has he.

In the name of God, wont somebody stop him

stop him, think about the children

Its a matter of life and death, you see.

Aint no time to stand back and point your finger,

Weve got to face reality.

No, no, no, no, no...

Dont turn your back on this problem, people,

too much depends on you and me.

Desprate with no sense of value,

just an evil mind lurking through the night.

Because of you, the streets aint safe no more for walking,

cause youre feeling so up-tight.

Take a look around


LIONEL RICHIE lyrics - You Mean More To Me



You mean more to me,

than words can ever say

Just to hold your hand

and to know our love will stay

feels so right

you're in my arms, my love

tonight



Oh you,

You mean more to me

than any love I've ever known

And I want to give you all my love

just you alone



Oh

You're all my dreams come true

there's so much joy in your eyes

and all the love you give

you've finally made me realize

you're all I need



Oh you

You mean more to me

than words can ever say.


THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS lyrics - Meet James Ensor



Meet James Ensor

Belgium's famous painter

Dig him up and shake his hand

Appreciate the man



Before there were junk stores

Before there was junk

He lived with his mother and the torments of Christ

The world was transformed

A crowd gathered round

Pressed against his window so they could be the first



To meet James Ensor

Belgium's famous painter

Raise a glass and sit and stare

Understand the man



He lost all his friends

He didn't need his friends

He lived with his mother and repeated himself

The world has forgotten

The world moved along

The crowd at his window went back to their homes



Meet James Ensor

Meet James Ensor

Belgium's famous painter

Dig him up and shake his hand

Appreciate the man

DAN FOGELBERG lyrics - What Child Is This?



What child is this who laid to rest

On Mary's lap is sleeping

Whom angels greet with anthems sweet

While shepherds watch are keeping

This, this is Christ the King

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing

Haste, haste to bring Him laud

The Babe, the Son of Mary

Why lies He in such mean estate

Where ox and ass are feeding

Good Christian fear for sinners here

The silent word is pleading

Nails, spears shall pierce Him through

The Cross be borne for me, for you

Hail, hail, the Word made flesh

The Babe, the Son of Mary

So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh

Come peasant, King, to own Him

The King of Kings, salvation brings

Let loving hearts enthrone Him

Raise, raise the song on high

The Virgin sings her lullaby

Joy, joy for Christ is born

The Babe, the Son of Mary


TELEVISION lyrics - Torn Curtain



(Verlaine)



Torn Curtain reveals another play.

Torn Curtain, Such an expose!

I'm uncertain when beauty meets abuse.

Torn Curtain loves all ridicule.



Tears... tears rolling back the years

Years... Flowing by like tears.

Tears holding back the years.

Years. The tears I never shed.

The years I've seen before



Torn Curtain giving me the glance.

Torn Curtain bringing on the trance.

I'm not hurting: Holding to the thread.

Torn Curtain lifts me on the tread.



Torn Curtain feels more like a rake.

Torn Curtain - how much does it Take?

Burn it down

Tears, tears. Years, years.


JOAN ARMATRADING lyrics - Straight Talk



Every time I try to tell you

Just what's on my mind

You try

And calm me down

But this thing's got to come out

In the open some time

Yeah



You've been seeing

Somebody else

Behind my back

It don't seem fair

I'm the one who ends up

Looking like trash

Straight talk



I'm seriously thinking

That your brain is in revers

Don't try and change my track

I'm gonna spell out something

Remember where you heard it first

Yeah



You had my respect

I believed I had your

Respect back

But that's all changed

Now I find you really silly

Straight talking



Oooo you get these weird ideas

Oooo let's get your image clear

You're not bad

But you're no

No Romeo

You know that

No Romeo

You know that

You know that

You know that



Every time I try to tell you

Every time I try to tell you

Got to come out in the open sometime

Oooo you get these weird ideas

Oooo let's get your image clear

You're not bad

But you're no

No Romeo

You know that

No Romeo

You know that

You know that

You know that



Every time I try to tell you

Every time I try to tell you

Got to come out in the open sometime

You've been seeing

Somebody else behind my back

And it don't seem fair

I'm the one who ends up

Looking like trash

Had my respect

I believed I had your

Respect back

But that's all changed

I just find you really silly

Straight talk


IRVING BERLIN lyrics - Climbing Up The Scales



[1st verse:]

Singing is a part of ev'ry creature

Ev'rybody likes to hum a tune

Let me be your little singing teacher

I've prepared your lesson

You can learn it soon



[Refrain:]

Strike a key and begin with do

Do re mi and the rest you know

One, two, three, come along, let's go

Climbing up the scales



Oh, what fun going up and when

That's all done you go down and then

Ev'ryone should begin again

Climbing up the scales



A tenor or a soprano

Can try it on a piano



Strike a key and begin with do

Do re mi and the rest you know

One, two, three, come along, let's go

Climbing up the scales



[2nd verse:]

In this very ordinary chorus

There's an old effect that never fails

So we'll ask you to do something for us

While we sing the chorus

You go up the scales

HELLOWEEN lyrics - Fallen To Pieces



(Deris)



Thunder

Rain

My aching mind

Arise from a dream

Step aside

Into the shadows

Brightness

Just borrowed

For too short a time



Why must I die one more time if I try?

Way down I pray but the skies turn to grey

How long lived I waiting?

How long can I vie?



I run high and low

I'm Fallen To Pieces

My heart cried for you

I'm Fallen To Pieces



Say, do you see you're just playing with me?

Way down I flee from your spell and appeal

No more I'll be waiting

No longer I'll vie



I run high and low

I'm Fallen To Pieces

My heart cried for you

I'm Fallen To Pieces



Hold on

Hold on



Lies turn to ties for ill famed and disguised

One day you'll pay and your skies turn to grey



I run high and low

I'm Fallen To Pieces

My heart cried for you

I'm Fallen To Pieces

I died times ago

I'm Fallen To Pieces

Now I rise alone

I'm Fallen To Pieces

Fallen To Pieces


THE ORIGINAL ANIMALS lyrics - Bring It On Home To Me



(Cooke)



If you ever change your mind

About leaving, leaving me behind

Oh, bring it to me, bring your sweet loving

Bring it on home to me, oh yeah



You know I laughed, when you left

But now I know I've only hurt myself

Oh, bring it to me, bring your sweet loving

Bring it on home to me, yeah, yeah, yeah



I'll give you jewelry, money too

And that's not all, all I'll do for you

Oh, bring it to me, bring your sweet loving

Bring it on home to me, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah



You know I'll always be your slave

Until I'm dead and buried in my grave

Oh, bring it to me, bring your sweet loving

Bring it on home to me, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah



If you ever change your mind

About leaving, leaving me behind

Oh, bring it to me, bring your sweet loving

Bring it on home to me, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

JOHN FOGERTY lyrics - Travelin' High



Here come that good ol' travelin' band once again mmm-hmmm

Back in the alley, lookin' like a long-lost friend, oh yeah.

I know for certain there won't be no jive,

We're back in business, and you know I can fly, fly, fly.

Oh my my, travelin' high! Yeah.



Hey, hey, it's been a long long time, yeah,

But if it's all right, you know you're gonna blow my mind, oh yeah,

'Cause I'm a natural boogie-woogie fool,

Ain't good for nothin' but chasin' down the hoochie-coo.

Oh my my, travelin' high! Yeah.



Now whatcha gonna do with the old rockin' chair, Mmm-hmm,

Just sit you right down, start to rock, start to rock,

Start to rockin' away from here,

'Cause you ain't nothin' but a struttin' fool,

Back in the alley with the hoochie-coochie-coo.

Oh my my, travelin' high, high, high! Yeah.

BEACH BOYS lyrics - All Summer Long



(Brian Wilson)



Sittin' in my car outside your house

(Sittin' in my car outside your house)

'Member when you spilled coke all over you blouse



T-shirts, cut-offs, and a pair of thongs

(T-shirts, cut-offs, and a pair of thongs)

We've been having fun all summer long



(All summer long you've been with me)

I can't see enough of you

(All summer long we've both been free)

Won't be long til summer time is through

(Summer time is through)

Not for us now



Miniature golf and Hondas in the hills

(Miniature golf and Hondas in the hills)

When we rode the horse we got some thrills

Every now and the we hear our song

(Every now and the we hear our song)

We've been having fun all summer long



Won't be long til summer time is through

(Summer time is through)

Not for us now

Every now and the we hear our song

(Every now and the we hear our song)

We've been having fun all summer long

We've been having fun all summer long

(We've been having fun all summer long)

We've been having fun all summer long

(We've been having fun all summer long)

We've been having fun all summer long


PETER GABRIEL lyrics - Mirrorball



[Originally by Elbow]



I plant the kind of kiss

That wouldn't wake a baby

On the self same face

The lie wouldn't let me sleep

And the street is singing with my feet

And dawn gives me a shadow I know to be taller

All down to you, dear

Everything has changed



My sorry name

Has made it to graffiti

I was looking for

Someone to complete me

Not anymore, dear.

Everything has changed



You make the moon a mirrorball

The streets an empty stage

The city's sirens, violins

Everything has changed



So lift off love

All down to you, dear

And lift off love

All down to you, dear



And we took the town to town last night

We kissed like we invented it

And now I know what every step is for

To lead me to your door

Know that while you sleep

Everything has changed



You make the moon a mirrorball

The streets an empty stage

The city's sirens, violins

Everything has changed.

Everything has changed.

Everything has changed

TRAFFIC lyrics - Freedom Rider



(Winwood/Capaldi)



Like a hurricane around your heart when earth and sky are torn apart

He comes gathering up the bits while hoping that the puzzle fits

He leaves you, he leaves you

Freedom rider



With a silver star between his eyes that open up at hidden lies

Big man crying with defeat, see people gathering in the street

You feel him, you feel him

Freedom rider



When lightning strikes you to the bone, you turn around, you're all alone

By the time you hear that silent (or siren?) sound, then your soul is in the lost and found

Forever, forever

Freedom rider

Here it comes

MEMPHIS MINNIE lyrics - Mean Mistreater



(Memphis Minnie)



I have the blues at all times, they worry me night and day

I have the blues at all times, they worry me night and day

They fall so hard at times, till they send my mind away



Once I had a mistreater, kept accusing me of someone else

Once I had a mistreater, kept accusing me of someone else

When it come to a showdown, he was stepping out himself



I give him all of my money, my love, my everything

I give him all of my money, my love, my everything

He stays sweet all the winter, jumps salty in the spring



(spoken: Low down dog

That's a nasty man)



I give up all of my pleasure, forsaken all of my friends

I give up all of my pleasure, forsaken all of my friends

But now the way he been doing, I declare it's a crying sin


NAZARETH lyrics - Road To Nowhere



I tried to hang on for as long as I could

But now I can see that it just ain't no good

Our love it has wasted

Right down to the core

Whatever we had

We don't have anymore



You've got to get off a road to nowhere

You've got to get off a road to nowhere



Well I tried and I tried to make things work out right

But I guess we're two people who can't help but fight

Your eyes they are open

And oh so are mine

We both need our freedom

Don't you think it's about time



I'm trying to get off this road to nowhere

I'm trying to get off this road to nowhere



[lead]



Thank you for the good times we've had in the past

But we both know enough to know good times don't last

Baby you're just no good for me

And I'm no good for you

Let's not waste our time talkin'

We both know what to do



We've got to get off this road to nowhere

It's time to get off this road to nowhere

You've got to get off this road to nowhere

We've got to get off this road to nowhere

GENESIS lyrics - Image Blown Out



People moving about the town upside down, you know why

Little bits of coloured glass in the sky

Children pushing Mummy down to the park, in a pram

Look out the pavement's changing to jam



See them running

Now where are they going to

To follow them, leads you nowhere

Shout to them quickly but no one can hear you

All they can do is to stare



Your bowler hats are turning green

Your city suits are coloured cream

You, you who changed my life

You made it misery, sadness reins alone

Wonder why you do this, to me

When I've tried so hard for you



People talking to the man who's digging a hole, in his mind

He's no need to worry, he's deaf and blind

See the dustman doing his round in a Rolls made of glass

He's gained everything because he's got class



Friends are leaving me when I did everything

Just as they used to behave

Trying to copy them, losing my real self

Floating away in a cloud



Your minds have blown you out of step

The rules you taught you never kept

You, you who changed my life

You made it misery, sadness reins alone

Wonder why you do this, to me

When I've tried so hard for you


LOS LOBOS lyrics - Wicked Rain / Across 110th Street



(Cesar Rosas/Bobby Womack)



I hear thunder

Looks like the rain

Is gonna start falling

Rain, falling from the sky



Rain, rain, rain, a wicked rain

Falling from the sky

Down, down, down, pouring down

Upon the night

Well there's just one chance in a million

That someday we'll make it out alive



Rain, rain, rain an evil rain

Falling all the time

Sun, sun, sun, sun

Don't you ever want to shine

Well there'll be no light in the morning

Till some peace at last we find



Like travellers in the darkness

Can't see our way

Trying hard to make it through

Another day



Father, father, father

Why do you let your sons go astray

Brother, brother, brother

Why must we go on this way

There's a storm off in the distance

And it looks like it's here to stay



I was the third brother of five

Doing whatever I had to do to survive

I'm not saying what I did was alright

Tryin' to break out of the ghetto

Was a day to day fight



Bein' down so long

Getting' up didn't cross my mind

But I knew there was a better way of life

And I was just tryin' to find

You don't know what you're doin'

Till you're put under pressure

Across 100 and Tenth Street

Is a hell of a tester



Across 100 and Tenth Street

Pimps tryin' to catch a woman that's weak

Across 100 and Tenth Street

Pushers won't let the junkie go free

Across 100 and Tenth Street

A woman tryin' to catch a trick on the street

Across 100 and Tenth Street

You can find it all



Hey Brother, there's a better way out

Snorting that coke, shooting that dope

Man, you're coppin' out

Take my advice, it's either live or die

You gotta be strong if you wanna survive

The family up on the other side of town

Will catch hell if I don't get around

In ev'ry city you'll find the same thing goin' down

Harlem is the capital of ev'ry ghetto town



Across 100 and Tenth Street

Pimps tryin' to catch a woman that's weak

Across 100 and Tenth Street

Pushers won't let the junkie go free

Across 100 and Tenth Street

You can find it all



Across 100 and Tenth Street

Let the sun, let the sun shine down

Across 100 and Tenth Street

Like travellers in the darkness

Can't see our way

Across 100 and Tenth Street

Trying hard to make it

Make it through another day

Oh, stop the rain

Somebody stop the rain

Across 100 and Tenth Street

A little more love and a little less pain

BEE GEES lyrics - Smoke And Mirrors



When I was a boy all the books I read

I followed like a blind man

To heed the words my father said

Those golden summers fade into night, words become a dream

The echoes of my childhood and where the path is winding

May God bless you, keep you safe from all harm

I stand by you always

Time and motion hands touch

Lips find a way to heaven on high

Watch the children play, the child becomes a man

And all the tangled webs we weave

You swear it as we live and breath

We stay together death until you part

Winner takes the prize

The futures at your finger tips, right before your eyes

No more sorrow (smoke and mirrors)

No more nights with no end

(I really learned a lot, smoke and mirrors)

I see my tomorrows

And nothing from nothing

And ashes to ashes they say

All the more that you reach out

The more that it runs away

(Smoke and mirrors)

No more goodbyes

(That's all I ever got, smoke and mirrors)

No lies, you find your way there

(She show me what she's got, smoke and mirrors)

Heaven on high

May god bless you keep you safe from all harm

I stand by you always

Time and motion

(smoke and mirrors)

Hands touch, lips find a way to

(That's all I ever got, smoke and mirrors)

Heaven on high

No more sorrow

(I really learned a lot, smoke and mirrors)

No more nights with no end

(She show me what she's got, smoke and mirrors)

I rise or I fall

no more goodbyes

(She really makes me hot, smoke and mirrors)

No lies, you find a way there

Heaven on high
