RICKY NELSON lyrics - The Christmas Song

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire

Jack Frost nipping at your nose

Yuletide carols being sung by a choir

And folks dressed up like Eskimos



Everybody knows a turkey and some

Mistletoe help to make the season bright

Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow

Will find it hard to sleep tonight



They know that Santa's on his way

He's loaded lots of toys and goodies

On his sleigh

And ev'ry mother's

Child is gonna spy to see if

Reindeer really know how to fly



And so, I'm offering this

Simple phrase to kids from

One to ninety-two

Altho' it's been said many times

Many ways; "Merry Christmas to you"

RINGO STARR lyrics - Cryin'

(Richard Starkey and Vini Poncia)



I tried my best to get things over,

Did ev'rything that i could do.

I didn't really want to hurt you,

But you must have realised we were through.



Now don't it make you feel cryin',

Watching a good love slowly die?

You and me could spend a lifetime tryin',

But we'd be better off just to simply say goodbye.



Just like two fools we couldn't make it,

The movie just went on too long.

I've been 'round and you've been through it,

But now i know we're getting strong.



Now don't it make you feel cryin',

Watching a good love slowly die?

You and me could spend a lifetime tryin',

But we'd be better off just to simply say goodbye.



It's time we burned our old love letters

And started out on a brand new life.

No one else can come between us,

'Cause i'm not your man, you're not my wife.



Still it makes me feel like cryin',

Watching a good love slowly die?

You and me could spend a lifetime tryin',

But we'd be better off just to simply say goodbye.



Still it makes me feel like cryin',

But we'd be better off just to simply say goodbye,

Bye-bye, bye-bye,

Bye-bye, bye-bye,

Bye-bye, bye-bye,

Bye-bye, bye-bye.

JOHN PRINE lyrics - My Darlin' Hometown

Far away over the sea

There's a river that's calling to me

That river she runs all around

The place that I call my hometown



There's a valley on the side of the hill

And flowers on an old windowsill

A familiar old picture it seems

And I'll go there tonight in my dreams



Where it's green in the summer

And gold in the fall

Her eyes are as blue

As the sky I recall



Far away over the sea

There's a place at the table for me

Where laughter and music abound

Just waiting there in my hometown



The river she freezes

When there's snow on the ground

And the children can slide

To the far side of town



Far away far away me

Hung up on a sweet memory

I'm lost and I wish I were found

In the arms of my darlin' hometown



With the evening sun sittin'

On the top of the hill

And the mockingbird answering

The old chapel bell



Far away over the sea

My heart is longing to be

And I wish I could lay myself down

In the arms of my darlin' hometown

PAUL SIMON lyrics - Me & Julio Down By The School Yard

(Paul Simon)



The mama pajama rolled out of bed

And she ran to the police station

When Ihe papa found out he began to shout

And he started the investigation



It's against the law

It was against the law

What the mama saw

It was against the law



The mama looked down and spit on the ground

Everytime my name gets mentioned

The papa said oy if I get that boy

I'm gonna stick him in the house of detention

Well I'm on my way

I don't know where I'm going

I'm on my way I'm taking my time

But I don'l know where

Goodbye to Rosie the queen of Corona

See you, me and Julio

Down by the schootyard

See you, me and Julio

Down by the schoolyard

Me and Julio down by the schoolyard



In a couple of days they come and

Take me away

But the press let the story leak

And when the radical priest

Come to get me released

We was all on the cover of Newsweek

And I'm on my way

I don't know where I'm going

I'm on my way I'm taking my time

But I don't know where

Goodbye to Rosie the queen of Corona

See you, me and Julio

Down by the schoolyard

See you, me and Julio

Down by the schoolyard

See you, me and Julio

Down by the schoolyard

IGGY POP lyrics - Keep On Believing

I woke up in the quiet dark

Fed the cat and hit the park

Cutest chicest chocolate queen

Look and smiled right at me

Keep on believing, keep on believing

Keep on believing, keep on believing



She said "hi" without no sound

Made my head go Iight and 'round

She was dressed to kill tne pope

Ard what she did she gave me hope

I smiled back without no sound

I said "hi" and left the ground

Keep on believing, keep on believing, keep on believing



Life won't leave me alone

Trouble won't leave rne alone

Strenght don't leave me alone

Truth don't leave me alone



She looked so bright in pixie hair

She made me know how much I cared

Her brown eyes gave me butterflies

Sho towed my soul up to the sky

Keep on believing, keep on believing

Keep on believing, keep on believing

THE CHURCH lyrics - For A Moment We're Strangers

In the empty place the soul stripped bare

Of skins and heart and I come apart

In your icy hands

I forget my role, as I stare into your soul



In the empty place you change your mind

You change your clothes you change your pose

For a perfect fit

I forget the cast, as I stare into your past



For a moment we're strangers

For a minute you look away

For a second or always

For an instant another day

Such strange things you say



In the empty place we dress our wounds

Collect our coats, and a window gloats

Above a street

I prepare my case, as I stare into your face



Just one me one you

This world contains a few

Is it true, is it truly new

Are we through the stolen door once more

NEIL YOUNG lyrics - Day And Night We Walk These Aisles

Day and night we walk these aisles

In the same old movie show

And look for someone

to feel for a while.

There's matinees on Saturdays

When we sit in the velvet chairs

Popcorn boxes fly through the air.



Sad movies, they make you cry

Sad movies make you wonder why

You ever came.

Do something to me,

Don't make me wait

Stab something through me,

Don't cry out the good things

That I appreciate.



Day and night we walk these aisles

In the same old movie show

And look for someone

to feel for a while

The light's go on, the movie's gone

And the manager's up there

He says he doesn't care

And we take our money back.



Sad movies, they make you cry

Sad movies make you wonder why

You ever came.

JOHN PRINE lyrics - You Got Gold

Is there ever enough space between us

To keep us both honest and true?

Why is it so hard just to sit in the yard

And stare at the sky so blue?

I've got a new way of walking and a new way of talking

Honey when I'm around you,

But it gives me the blues when I've got some good news

And you're not there to bring it to.



Life is a blessing, it's a delicatessen

Of all the little favors you do.

All wrapped up together no matter the weather,

Baby you always come through.

It's a measure of treasure that gives me the pleasure

Of loving you the way I do

And you know I would gladly say I need your love badly

And bring these little things to you.



Cause you got gold

Gold inside of you

You got gold

Gold inside of you

Well I got some

Gold inside me too



Well I'm thinking I'm knowing that I gotta be going

You know I hate to say so long.

It gives me an ocean of mixed up emotion

I'll have to work it out in a song.

Well I'm leaving a lot for the little I got

But you know a lot a little will do

And if you give me your love

I'll let it shine up above

And light my way back home to you.



Cause you got gold

Gold inside of you

Cause you got gold

Gold inside of you

Well I got some

Gold inside me too



You got wheels

Turning inside of you

You got wheels

Turning inside of you

Well I got wheels

Turning inside me too.

'Cause you've got paradise (All in your eyes) in your eyes

SANTANA lyrics - All I Ever Wanted

(Carlos Santana, Chris Solberg, & Alex Ligertwood)



Well I told you 'bout your attitude

And it didn't do me any good

'Cause you took your love away

Left me here alone with all this lonely heartache.



There are places I remember

Where the ladies still are tender

Against you they can't compare

Baby we've just got to get it back together.



All I ever wanted was to be with you

All I ever wanted was to be with you.



I just got to get it through to you

That my loving heart is ever true

Please come back to where you belong

Girl you got to know I'll never do you wrong.



All I ever wanted was to be with you

All I ever wanted was to be with you.

Yeah you.

Oh oh.



All I ever wanted was to be with you

All I ever wanted was to be with you.



Well I told you 'bout your attitude

And it didn't do me any good

'Cause you took your love away.



All I ever wanted was to be with you

All I ever wanted was to be with you

All I ever wanted was to be with you

All I ever wanted was to be with you

You!

BOB SEGER lyrics - Midnight Rider

I got to run to keep from hiding

And I'm bound to keep on riding

I've got one more silver dollar

But I'm not gonna let 'em

Catch the midnight, rider



I don't own the clothes I'm wearing

And the road goes on forever

I've got one more silver dollar

But I'm not gonna let 'em

Catch the midnight, rider



I don't own the clothes I'm wearing

Some old bed I'll soon be sharing

I've got one more silver dollar

But I'm not gonna let them catch

The midnight, rider



Not gonna let 'em catch me

ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA lyrics - Wild West Hero

Wish I was, yeah, a wild west hero.



Sometimes i look up high and then I think there might

just be a better life.

Away from all we know, that's where I wanna go,

out on the wild side

and I wish I was, o-oo-o-oh, a wild west hero.



Ride the range all the day till the first fading light,

be with my western girl round the fire, oh, so bright.

I'd be the Indians friend, let them live to be free,

ridin' into the sunset, I wish I could be.



I'd ride the desert sands and through the prairie lands,

try'n to do what's right.

The folks would come to me, they'd say, we need you here.

I'd stay there for the night.

Oh, I wish I was, o-oo-o-oh, a wild west hero.



Ride the range all the day till the first fading light,

be with my western girl round the fire, oh, so bright.

I'd be the Indians friend, let them live to be free,

ridin' into the sunset, I wish I could be.



Oh, I wish I was, o-oo-o-oh, a wild west hero.

Oh, I wish I was, o-oo-o-oh, a wild west hero.

Oh, I wish I was, o-oo-o-oh, a wild west hero.

Oh, I wish I was, o-oo-o-oh, a wild west hero.

Wish I was, o-o-oo-o-o-o-oo, a wild west hero.

BILLY JOEL lyrics - State Of Grace

There you go, slipping away into a state of grace

I know the look that comes across your face

It's so familiar to me

Here I am, trying to keep you in my line of sight

I'm never certain that you read me right

Sometimes you don't want to see

Here we are, both of us know we're in love

But that isn't always enough

I never could rise above it all, down I fall



But darling there you go, slipping away into a state of grace

Granted, this world is not a perfect place

Still it's the world that I'm in

Here I am talking while you don't hear a word I say

Knowing you're watching me from far away

Somewhere that I've never been



Don't you see, you lived a different life than me

It doesn't mean you have to be afraid of how

We're not the same, don't leave me now



But darling there you go, slipping away



How can I get you to stay where you are

Keep you for going too far

Holding you here is so hard to do...I'm losing you



And darling there you go, slipping away into a state of grace

Drifting away into your sacred place

Someplace that I've never been

There you go, slipping away, slipping away, into a state of grace

There you go, slipping away into a state of grace

There you go...drifting away...

JAYE P. MORGAN lyrics - Chee Chee-Oo Chee

(Chee-chee, chee-chee)



Oh, once on a tree top tall the little bird

Sang out the sweetest song I ever heard



Chee chee-oo chee

It sang to me so merrily

Chee chee-oo chee

The little birdie on a tree



Life's such a lovely thing it seemed to say

If you will only sing your cares away



Chee chee-oo chee

So merrily it went along

Chee chee-oo chee

So happily his little song



And so (chee-chee, chee-chee)

I sing (chee-chee, chee-chee)

Chee chee-oo chee

This happy, happy little thing



If you (chee-chee, chee-chee)

Feel blue (chee-chee, chee-chee)

Sing chee-oo chee

And you can be as happy too



Life's such a lovely thing it seemed to say

(chee-chee, chee-chee)

If you will only sing your cares away

(chee-chee, chee-chee)



[Instrumental Interlude]



And so (chee-chee, chee-chee)

I sing (chee-chee, chee-chee)

Chee chee-oo chee

This happy, happy little thing



If you (chee-chee, chee-chee)

Feel blue (chee-chee, chee-chee)

Sing chee-oo chee

And you can be as happy too



Sing chee-oo chee

And you can be as happy too



Sing chee-oo chee

And you can be as happy too



(Chee-chee)

WARREN ZEVON lyrics - Detox Mansion

(Warren Zevon & Jorge Calderon)



Well, I'm gone to Detox Mansion

Way down on Last Breath Farm

I've been rakin' leaves with Liza

Me and Liz clean up the yard



Left my home in Music City

In the back of a limousine

Now I'm doin' my own laundry

And I'm getting those clothes clean



Growin' fond of Detox Mansion

And this quiet life I lead

But I'm dying to tell my story

For all my friends to read



Well, it's tough to be somebody

And it's hard not to fall apart

Up here on Rehab Mountain

We gonna learn these things by heart



Well, I'm gone to Detox Mansion

Way down on Last Breath Farm

I've been rakin' leaves with Liza

Me and Liz clean up the yard



What goes on in Detox Mansion

Outside the rubber room

We get therapy and lectures

We play golf in the afternoon



Well, it's tough to be somebody

And it's hard not to fall apart

Up here on Rehab Mountain

We gonna learn these things by heart

THE EAGLES lyrics - Busy Being Fabulous

I came home to an empty house

And I found your little note

"Don't wait up for me tonight"

And that was all she wrote



Do you think I don't know that you're out on the town

With all of your high-rollin' friends?

What do you do when you come up empty?

Where do you go when the party ends?



And you were just too busy being fabulous

Too busy to think about us

I don't know what you were dreaming of

Somehow you forgot about love

And you were just too busy being fabulous, uh-huh



A little time in the country

A day or two to slow down

A bottle of wine and a walk in the moonlight

Maybe some foolin' around



But you think time is just a magazine

And money's just a thrill

I've waited so long for you to change your way of livin'

Now I realize that you never will



'Cause you were just too busy being fabulous

Too busy to think about us

Lookin' for something you'll never find

You'll never know what you left behind

'Cause you were just too busy being fabulous, uh-huh



You tell a joke and everybody's laughin'

That's something you know how to do

You've always been the life of the party

But now my baby, the joke is on you



'Cause you were just too busy being fabulous

Too busy to think about us

Running after something that never comes

What in the world are you runnin' from?



And you were just too busy being fabulous

Too busy to think about us

To drink the wine from your winner's cup

To notice the children were growin' up



And you were just too busy being fabulous

Too busy, too busy

Too busy

Aw, baby

THE PROCLAIMERS lyrics - Sky Takes The Soul

It could be tomorrow, or it could be today

When the sky takes the soul

The earth takes the clay

I sometimes wonder why I pray

When my spirit drives away

With a faith and a bit of luck

And a half-tonne bomb in the back of a truck



Feel the towel it's wet with sorrow

From the tears we'll shed tomorrow

Don't bring flowers, take a chance

On some graves you should dance

It its tomorrow, or if its today

I don't say it will be, I just say it may

When I'm on my knees

To the gates I'll stumble

And plead my case

In a style thats humble.

MIKE AND THE MECHANICS lyrics - The Way You Look At Me

Softly you told me what I already knew

No doubt in my mind, no doubt that it was true

The tenderness we had and the love that we used to share

Have long since disappeared if ever really there

Torn by the pleasure and the pain of loving you

I'm so confused I don't know what to do



Just when I'm saying the need for you is gone

That's when I realise the feeling's just as strong



[Chorus:]

Something in the way you look at me

Something that you just can't hide

Something in the way you look at me

Oh could never be denied

Nothing I can do to change it

Nothing I can even try

Something in the way you look at me

Darlin' I don't know, I don't know why



Too long it's been easy to carry on this way

When the words that really hurt are the ones we don't say

Hard to believe we had a love so strong

And I just can't accept that it could go so wrong



Try to explain I don't know if I can

What will it take to make you understand there's



[Chorus 2x]



Something in the way you look at me

Something I just can't explain

Something in the way you look at me

And I know I've got to try try again

Nothing I can do to change it

Nothing I can even try

Something in the way you look at me

I don't know why

THE FACES lyrics - Last Orders Please

(Ronnie Lane)



Well, well, hello and how are you?

Fancy seeing you here.

Don't let it show.

No look, no one must know

Why! They're playing "Tracks Of My Tears"



Just pretend its all over,

Like you have for so long.

I thought time was a healer,

But i guess I was wrong.

I am to blame

But we were so young.

Oh, how was I to know?



But you said you still want me,

You opened up an old wound

Then you left me here bleeding.

And my minds black and blue.

Now you got yours, and I got mine.

And theres no debts or dues

Oh, what can we do?

GENTLE GIANT lyrics - Knots

All in all each man in all men

All men in each man.

He can see she can't, she can see

she can

see whatever, whatever.

You may know what I don't know,

but not that

I don't know it and I can't tell you

so you will.



To tell me all man in all men

All men in each man.

He can see she can't, she can see

she can

see whatever, whatever.

You may know what I don't know,

but not that

I don't know it and I can't tell you

so you will have to tell me all.



It hurts him to think that she is

hurting her by him being hurt to think

that she thinks he is hurt by making her

feel guilty at hurting him by her thinking

she wants him to want her. Her wants

her to

want him to get him to want him to get

him to want her she pretends.



He tries to make her afraid by not

being afraid. (permutations)



You may know what I don't know, but not

that I don't know it and I can't

tell you so you will have to tell

me all.



I get what I deserve. I deserve what I

get. I have it so I deserve it. I deserve

it for I have it. I get what I deserve.

What I deserve - what I deserve what

I get.

I have it so I deserve.



He tries to make her afraid by not

being afraid.

VONDA SHEPARD lyrics - I Only Want To Be With You

(Mike Hawker & Ivor Raymond)



I don't know what it is that makes me love you so

I only know I never want to let you go

'Cause you started something, can't you see

That ever since we met you've had a hold on me



It happens to be true

I only want to be with you



It doesn't matter where you go or what you do

I wanna spend each moment of the day with you

Look what has happened with just one kiss

I never knew that I could be in love like this



It's crazy but it's true

I only want to be with you



You stopped and smiled at me, asked me if I'd care to dance

I fell into your open arms and I didn't stand a chance



Now listen honey, I just wanna be beside you everywhere

As long as we're together honey I don't care

'Cause you started something, can't you see

That ever since we've met you've had a hold on me



No matter what you do

I only want to be with you



You stopped and smiled at me, asked me if I'd care to dance

I fell into your open arms and I didn't stand a chance

Now listen honey, I just want to be beside you everywhere

As long as we're together honey I don't care



'Cause you started something can't you see

That ever since we met you've had a hold on me



No matter what you do

I only want to be with you

No matter what you do

I only want to be with you

Girl I just know I love ya now...



Flowers and beads are one thing,

But having a girl is something.

MOTLEY CRUE lyrics - In The Beginning

In the beginning

Good always overpowered the evils

Of all man's sins...

But in time

The nations grew weak

And our cities fell to slums

While evil stood strong

In the dusts of hell

Lurked the blackest of hates

For he whom they feared

Awaited them... Now many many lifetimes later

Lay destroyed, beaten, beaten down,

Only the corpses of rebels

Ashes of dreams

And blood stained streets

It has been written

"Those who have the youth

Have the future"

So come now, children of the beast

Be strong

And Shout at the Devil

OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN lyrics - The Rumour

(Elton John/Bernie Taupin)



This is the last time

I'll look across this table

And try to face a feeling I don't even recognize

This is a sad hand

That reached across and touched you

When all we'd built around us came crashing to the ground



There was a tide turning

Somewhere deep inside us

When all these years together seem lost behind my tears

Oh there were good times

But in between the dog days

I felt the pain of rumour whisper in my ears



But I still tried to love you

I still tried to care

Still tried to hold on with the power of my prayers

But you can't fight the rumour

You can't argue with you heart, no

Once the rumour spreads, once the rumour spreads

Once the rumour spreads, the truth is just a thing of the past



As the rain falls

I listen to the radio

And try to memorize the words to "Georgia On My Mind"

But we're no old song

We never stood the test of time

The lies inside the rumour left trust so far behind



But I still tried to love you

I still tried to care

Still tried to hold on with the power of my prayers

But you can't fight the rumour

You can't argue with you heart, no

Once the rumour spreads, once the rumour spreads

Once the rumour spreads, the truth is just a thing of the past



And when we say goodbye

Be sure to look me in the eye

And know the real secret

Was the thing we didn't have to hide



But I still tried to love you

I still tried to care

Still tried to hold on with the power of my prayers

But you can't fight the rumour

You can't argue with you heart, no

Once the rumour spreads, once the rumour spreads

Once the rumour spreads, the truth is just a thing of the past

Once the rumour spreads, once the rumour spreads

The truth is just a thing of, it's just a thing of

The truth is just a thing of the past

BIG BROTHER & THE HOLDING COMPANY lyrics - Flower In The Sun

Oh please don't you think baby that I have been wrong to cry, yeah.

You loved me, too,

So how come you just sit there and laugh

And laugh and laugh and laugh?

Things just can't be this way

Not for very long

No no no no no no no no no no no no no no.

Our love affair, yes it's just history, yes it is.



And I tried to love you in my own way,

I think that you know I did.

But to have you here, to see you living,

Oh so near to me, yeah, hey, hey, hey.

Oh but you are distant and so it's dead

And so often people are glad to be old, 'cause yeah,

Our love affair is just history, yes it is.



Once in a green time a flower

Oh, fell in love with the sun.

The passion lasted for an hour

And then she wilted from her loved one.



Once in a green time a flower

Oh, fell in love with the sun.

The passion lasted for an hour

And then she wilted, wilted from her loved one.



And I see you looking up at the sky, how high it is.

You wonder if there is, whoa another me

Now how can that be, honey how can it be?

Well, I sit here and I ask you, why all this?

I just got toni-ni-ni-night

Our love affair is just a history

Well, it's all over, baby, it's over, baby,

I can't stand another lo-lo-lonely,

I'm never too lonely.



It's over baby,

I can't help it 'cause I just cry inside,

I just cry inside,

Oh baby, oh baby, don't you feel me moving,

Oh baby, oh baby, don't you hear me crying?

Well I don't, I don't have to, yeah,

I said now I hurt you, hurt me too now,

Oh baby, oh baby...

CARLY SIMON lyrics - Laura

(Mercer/Raskin - additional lyrics by Carly Simon)



Lead-in with Haunting:

There's always someone, haunting someone, haunting someone,

I can't sleep easy, cause I'm afraid of dreaming

And then the memory of the dream

There's always someone, haunting someone, haunting someone



Laura is the face in the misty night

Footsteps that you hear down the hall

The laugh that floats on a summer's night

That you might never quite recall

And you see Laura on a train that is passing through

Those eyes how familiar they seem

She gave your very first kiss to you

That was Laura but she's only a dream



She gave your very first kiss to you

That was Laura

But she's only a dream



Yes she gave your very first kiss to you

That was Laura, but she's only a dream

A dream, a dream

DAVID LEE ROTH lyrics - Indeedido

Mercedes benz

And combat boots

Junk food

In brand new alligator shoes



Here comes baby jet

In her brand new red-hot pink humvee

Full of party girls with damaged lives

And tangled destinies

Well this must be my favourite chorus

I find your manners more important

Than your morals



All this and more you see

You mean so much to me

But do i love you?



Indeedido

Cops and robers

Tough guy pimps

And bad girl boxers

White trash lesbo psycho bikes

Lipstick tricks and diesel dykes

Check it out, without a doubt

I look into your eyes and dream

Of all of these my favourite things...

JEFF BECK lyrics - Pay Me No Mind

Now my train is never on time

I'm a come in the dead stake time

I'm the shame that the sun don't shine

Somebody don't pay me no mind



Don't understand it

Don't understand it

Don't' understand it

Don't understand it

Don't



I'm the pain when it hurts sometimes

And the mountain just can't hide

Tell a guy she never could find

Somebody don't pay me no mind yeah



Don't understand it

Don't understand it

Don't' understand it

Don't understand it

Don't



Oh and the scratch on your LP's mine

Don't understand it

Don't understand it

In the stolen shoes

Don't understand it

Don't

Don't understand it

Don't

Don't understand it

Don't



Now my train is never on time

I'm a come in the dead stake time

I'm the shame that the sun don't shine

Somebody don't pay me no mind



Don't understand it

Don't understand it

Don't' understand it

Don't understand it

Don't



I'm the pain when it hurts sometimes

And the mountain just can't hide

Tell a guy she never could find

Somebody don't pay me no mind yeah



Understand it

Understand it

Don't

Understand it

Don't

Understand it

GRAND FUNK RAILROAD lyrics - Freedom Is For Children

I wrote the words of freedom,

I've even sung the song.

But freedom is for children,

'Cause they don't understand what's wrong.



The children are so very lucky,

'Cause they're not old enough to know.

Not old enough to realize,

But they'll find out as they grow.



The children are so very lucky,

But, on the other hand, who's gonna' save the land?

The children are so very lucky,

But man's invention is gonna' be the prevention of their life.



This song is nearly over,

And so's the world and the day.

There's something missin',

But who will listen enough to do what it will take?



Freedom is for children. Why can't it be for me?

Freedom is for children. Why can't it be for me?



Freedom is for children. Why can't it be for me?

Freedom is for children. Why can't it be for me?

Freedom is for children. Why can't it be for me?

COCTEAU TWINS lyrics - The Hollow Men

Her aura supposed he is

For all of them home alone

And the soul, Sleeps for days

The hollow place, Slow

See him, So that if I'm lost

The hollow place

Slow

See him

So that if I'm last

All, Stake, Stuck, Stake

And I'm stuck

Balk

PETE TOWNSHEND lyrics - Prelude

Sometimes walking thru the streets of this city

I see all the faces of the winners and the losers



Oh why, can't I see a change just one sign

Before I say goodbye

Before I say goodbye

DEAN MARTIN lyrics - Outa My Mind

Outa my mind I must have been outa my mind

I thought that I'd leave you behind

And never be sorry

Thought I could give you the brush one clean and final break

What's more I left in a rush what difference could it make

Boy was I mistaken



Outa my head I had to be outa my head

'til something inside of me said

You love her like crazy

And I came outa my spin

That dizzy spin I was in

Don't ask me where have I been

Been outa my mind



(Outa my mind I must have been outa my mind)

(I thought that I'd leave you behind)

(And never be sorry)

(Thought I could give you the brush one clean and final break)

(What's more I left in a rush what difference could it make)

(Boy was I mistaken)



Outa my head I had to be outa my head

'til something inside of me said

You love her like crazy

And I came outa my spin

That dizzy spin I was in

(Both) Don't ask me where have I been

(Both) Been outa my mind

BUDDY & JULIE MILLER lyrics - Through The Eyes Of A Broken Heart

(Julie Miller)



She don't want flowers cause they'll just die

She don't want love it'll just make her cry

And she don't want me cause I'll just say goodbye

That's how it look in her eyes



She don't see the sun cause it's just going

She waits for the night

Keeps her eyes to the ground

She dont trust me

Cause I won't be around

That's how it looks in her eyes



Through the eyes thru the eyes

Of a broken heart

Love is lies love is lies

And leaves you scared

Damage done in the past

Leaves a wound than can last

That's how it looks in her eyes

Through the eyes of a broken heart



She keeps safely hidden behind walls of fears

She keeps out the love that could dry every tear

She can't afford to let me come near

That's how it looks in her eyes

Through the eyes of a broken heart

LINDA RONSTADT lyrics - Silver Threads And Golden Needles

(Dick Reynolds & Jack Rhodes)



I don't want your lonely mansion with a tear in every room

All I want's the love you promised beneath the haloed moon

But you think I should be happy with your money and your name

And hide myself in sorrow while you play your cheating game



Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine

And I dare not drown my sorrows in the warm glow of your wine

You can't buy my love with money cause I never was that kind

Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine



Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine

And I dare not drown my sorrows in the warm glow of your wine

You can't buy my love with money cause I never was that kind

Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine



Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine

10CC lyrics - Reds In My Bed

There's a fat man who offers a change of scene

Says he'll guarantee my sheet will be clean

When I get on the outside

But who can you trust when the walls have ears

I'm for takin' a chance, like a drownin' man

I'm going under

I've got reds in my bed

I'm not easily led to the slaughter

And while the cold war exists

I'll stay warm with the commisar's daughter

We could meet at the zoo where the tiger roams

In a prison of steel

He reminds me so much of the way I feel

And we know that we're both in the danger zone

Where the eyes of the world

Full of shutters and bugs are upon us now

I've got reds in my bed

I get blues looking out of my window

And we're never alone, there's a tap on the phone

And my pillow

Let me go home

(There's a girl in a distant land)

Let me go home

(Who's nothing more than a memory)

She don't know that I'm gonna be free

Let me go home

(You're a land full of misery)

Let me go home

(You're a cruel and a faceless race)

I don't like your philosophy

I don't like your philosophy

The connections are made and the time is right

So my body is walled in the shell of a car

in the dead of night

And I laugh through the pain and the agony

As they cut me away to be born again

Back to humanity

You've got reds in your bed

There's a man lookin' over your shoulder

But don't you give him your mind

It's too late when you find that it's over

You!

Let me go home

(You're a land full of misery)

Let me go home

(You're nothing more than a memory)

I don't like your philosophy

Let me go home

(You're a cruel and a faceless race)

Let me go home

(You're nothing more than a memory)

I don't like your philosophy

THE TURTLES lyrics - She'd Rather Be With Me

(Bonner-Gordon)



Some girls love to run around

Love to handle everything they see

But my girl has more fun around

And you know she'd rather be with



Me-oh-my, (me-oh-my) lucky guy is what I am

Tell you why you'll understand

She don't fly although she can



Some boys (some boys) love to run around

They don't think about the things they do

But this boy (this boy) wants to settle down

And you know he'd rather be with you



Me-oh-my, lucky guy is what I am

Tell you why you'll understand

She don't fly although she can



Ba ba ba ba ba-da ba

Ba ba ba ba ba-da ba

Ba ba ba ba ba-da ba

Ba ba ba ba ba-da ba



Some girls (some girls) love to run around

Love to handle everything they see

My girl (my girl) has more fun around

And you know she'd rather be with

Ya, she'd rather be with

You know she'd rather be with me



Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba

You know she'd rather be with me...

DOLLY PARTON lyrics - A Better Place To Live

(Dolly Parton)



There's a bit of magic in a simple little smile

Something that just makes life seem a little more worthwhile

And there's a world of meaning in the touch of someone's hand

A gentle touch that let's your brother know you understand

Oh if people would stop taking and just once try to give

We could make the world we're living in a better place to live

La la la la la la la la la la la la



And if we'd love one another instead of finding faults

We could afford the price of peace, love is all it costs

Oh wouldn't it be great to live and sing in harmony

Everybody take your brother's hand and sing my song with me



La la la la la la la la la la la la



All life has to offer that's what most folks desire

But offer nothing in return, cause they don't seem to care

And if we'd ask to be forgiven and be willing to forgive

We could make the world we're living in a better place to live

And if we'd all climb together, we could climb the highest hill

We could make the world we're living in a better place to live



And if we'd love one another instead of finding faults

We could afford the price of peace, love is all it costs

Oh wouldn't it be great to live and sing in harmony

Everybody take your brother's hand and sing my song with me



La la la la la la la la la la la la

PATTY LOVELESS lyrics - The Last Thing On My Mind

I don't love him anymore just ask all my friends

I've told them and I tell them time & time again

I don't have no regrets no I'm not that kind

Honestly he's the last thing on my mind



When the day turns into dusk

And the shadows start to fall

And this empty bed's as big as Arkansas

And when I'm driftin' off to sleep

Something in my broken heart rewinds

He's the last thing

He's the last thing on my mind



Now, rushing through the day

I might seem improved

There isn't time to second guess my foolish moves

No I can only see

Once the lights go out

What it is I can live with and without



When the day turns into dusk

And the shadows start to fall

And this empty bed's as big as Arkansas

And when I'm driftin' off to sleep

Something in my broken heart rewinds

He's the last thing

He's the last thing on my mind



When the day turns into dusk

And the shadows start to fall

And this empty bed's as big as Arkansas

And when I'm driftin' off to sleep

Something in my broken heart rewinds

He's the last thing

He's the last thing on my mind

JOHNNY CASH lyrics - Country Boy

Country boy, ain't got no shoes

Country boy, ain't got no blues

Well, you work all day while you're waitin' to play In the sun and the sand,

with a face that's tan

But at the end of the day, when your work is done

You ain't got nothin' but fun



Country boy, you got a shaggy dog

Country boy, up a hollow log

Well, he comes in a run, when you pick up your gun

And with a shell or two, and your dog and you

When you get your rabbit, you'll skin his hide

He's gonna be good fried



Country boy, you got alot to lose

Country boy, how I wish I was in your shoes



Country boy, ain't got no ills

Country boy, don't owe no bills

You get a wiggly worm and then you watch him squirm

While you put him on a hook and you drop him in a brook

If everything's gonna turn out right, you're gonna fry fish tonight



Country boy, got alot to lose

Country boy, how I wish I was in your shoes



Country boy, you got work to do

Country boy, in the morning dew

You gotta plant the seed, you gotta cut the weeds

There's many a row you know you gotta hoe

When it's quittin' time, and your work is through

There's alot of life in you



Country boy, you lucky thing

Country boy, I wish I was you, and you were me

RINGO STARR lyrics - Down And Out

(Richard Starkey)



Looked at the sky, what did i see?

I saw someone looking at me.

And i'm down and out, down and out,

Well, i'm down, so down, down and out.



Looked in the fire, what did i see?

I saw someone looking at me.

And i'm down and out, down and out,

Well, i'm down, so down, down and out.



Alright, gary!



Looked in the fridge, what did i see?

I saw someone looking at me.

And i'm down and out, down and out,

Well, i'm down, so down, yeah, down and out.



Looked at the sky, what did i see?

I saw someone looking at me.

And i'm down and out, down and out,

Well, i'm down, so down, down and out.



Looked in the fire, what did i see?

I saw someone looking at me.

And i'm down and out, down and out,

Well, i'm down, so down, down and out,

Well, i'm down, so down, down and out.

SHELBY LYNNE lyrics - You Don't Have A Heart

Can't believe the words you said your voice keeps hitting me in the head

I remember when you told me you'd never say mean things like that.

Thought you had your love in tact but I was wrong thinking things like that

Might be time to reconsider what my plans have been.



Cause when the girls walked by I could see that you never really wanted to be with me

Out the corner of your eye you were saying hi you're never satisfied.



[Chorus:]

You don't have a heart.

You don't have a soul.

You don't see things clear and baby I'm too old

To teach you about love

Or get down on my knees

I wish you the best but it's time for me to leave

No, You don't have a heart.



Oh I used to think that you had it all you said the words and I'd start to crawl

What a fool believes is the everything.

Oh I must have had a head made out of wood wasn't thinking with my brain like I know I should.

My heart led the way but I'm not ashamed.



Cause when a woman's blind to all the heartaches she never knows the price she's gonna have to pay

You stole my heart and took my pride but I'll survive and come out on the other side.



[Chorus]



Oh we all reap what we all sow your times coming you don't even know.

It's worth the wait to watch you burn

I'm front row center as the tables turn.



[Chorus]

AMY GRANT lyrics - All That I Need Is You

(Amy Grant)



Lord, You know it's been a busy day

And I'm just weary to my bones

I hope You'll understand if I don't pray

But I need my rest to carry on



Why do I kid myself, You see my heart

The me I try so to ignore

And Lord You know how very weak I am

I just can't hide it any more



[Chorus:]

All of a sudden I knew

That I'd never be wanting as long as I'm leaning on You

Oh Lord, all that I need is You



Everytime when the doubting comes

And I seem to lose my way

When I cry within 'cause I need a friend

But I just don't say

You know that I need You



All at once it's clear, even though You're here

I've tried to make it on my own

I'm not trusting You

Lord, you know that I really need our time together

Only Your strength can see me through

So talk with me now

As You walk with me now in this quiet time

I'm waiting on You

Cause...



[Chorus]

LORETTA LYNN AND CONWAY TWITTY lyrics - Never Ending Song Of Love

(Delaney Bramlett)



I've got a never ending love for you from now on that's all I wanna do

From the first time we met I knew I'd have a never ending love for you

After all this time of being alone

We can love one another feel for each other from now on

Feel so good I can hardly stand it

Never ending love for you from now on that's all I wanna do

From the first time we met I knew I'd sing my never ending song of love for you

[ steel - guitar ]

After all this time of being alone...

I'd sing my never ending song of love for you

JOHN KAY & STEPPENWOLF lyrics - (Give Me Some) News I Can Use

(John Kay)



Good evening one and all, this is channel 24

Bringing you the latest news around the world

Down in Florida today, someone tried to get away

When he commandeered the train at Disney World

Until noon it was a standoff, but then he lost his luck

When someone shot him down, dressed up like Donald Duck

It was a midget G-man

And we're sorry that we could not show it live

But we'll have film of the shooting here at five



Give me some news I can use, let me smile for a while

For the madness has taken it's toll

Give me some news I can use, just a break for the sake

Of my mind which is losing control



From Washington today, called a senator to say

That our future has been cancelled 'cause we're broke

We called the white house without end finally reached the President

Says he don't know if it's real or just a joke

And last night at the playoffs, things got pretty grim

They crucified the referee and tore him limb from limb

Ah, you should have been there

And in the weather, there's a hurricane in sight

And that's the way it is with us tonight



Give me some news I can use, let me smile for a while

For the madness has taken it's toll

Give me some news I can use, just a break for the sake

Of my mind which is losing control



Seems like every single day another mind gets blown away

And the world goes just a little more insane

I got problems of my own, tryin' to keep my house and home

And I sure could stand some cheerful news again

My agent called to tell me my record's on the chart

It's number 90 with an anchor, I never said that it was art

I gotta eat too, ya know

And my buddy who still owes me for his bail

He says, "don't worry, your check is in the mail"



Give me some news I can use, let me smile for a while

For the madness has taken it's toll

Give me some news I can use, just a break for the sake

Of my mind which is losing control

BUDDY HOLLY lyrics - Maybe Baby

Maybe baby, I'll have you

Maybe baby, you'll be true

Maybe baby, I'll have you for me



It's funny honey, you don't care

You never listen, to my prayer

Well you are the one that, makes me glad

Any other one that, makes me sad

When some day, you'll want me

Well, I'll be there, wait and see ee ee



Maybe baby, I'll have you

Maybe baby, you'll be true

Maybe baby, I'll have you for me**

BRYAN ADAMS lyrics - Don't Look Now

Now you took your love from me,

When I needed it most,

I wanted you so desperately,

So baby,

Don't look now cause I'm comin' around,

Baby don't look now cause I'm comin' around.



You planned it all so carefully,

You just faded to black,

And even in your wildest dreams,

You never thought I'd be back

So you thought you'd seen the last of me,

Now ya better think twice,

You can't fool me that easily,

Now baby,



Don't look now cause I'm comin' around,

Baby don't look now cause I'm comin' around.



You planned it all so carefully,

You just faded to black,

And even in your wildest dreams,

You never thought I'd be back.



So you thought you'd seen the last of me,

Now ya better think twice,

You can't fool me that easily, Now baby,



Don't look now cause I'm comin' around,

Baby don't look now cause I'm comin' around.

BOB MARLEY lyrics - Buffalo Soldier

Buffalo Soldier, Dreadlock Rasta:

There was a Buffalo Soldier in the heart of America,

Stolen from Africa, brought to America,

Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival.



I mean it, when I analyze the stench -

To me it makes a lot of sense:

How the Dreadlock Rasta was the Buffalo Soldier,

And he was taken from Africa, brought to America,

Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival.



Said he was a Buffalo Soldier, Dreadlock Rasta -

Buffalo Soldier in the heart of America.



If you know your history,

Then you would know where you coming from,

Then you wouldn't have to ask me,

Who the 'eck do I think I am.



I'm just a Buffalo Soldier in the heart of America,

Stolen from Africa, brought to America,

Said he was fighting on arrival, fighting for survival;

Said he was a Buffalo Soldier win the war for America.



Dreadie, woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy,

Woy yoy yoy yoy, yoy yoy-yoy yoy!

Woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy,

Woy yoy yoy yoy, yoy yoy-yoy yoy!

Buffalo Soldier troddin' through the land, wo-ho-ooh!

Said he wanna ran, then you wanna hand,

Troddin' through the land, yea-hea, yea-ea.



Said he was a Buffalo Soldier win the war for America;

Buffalo Soldier, Dreadlock Rasta,

Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival;

Driven from the mainland to the heart of the Caribbean.



Singing, woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy,

Woy yoy yoy yoy, yoy yoy-yoy yoy!

Woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy,

Woy yoy yoy yoy, yoy yoy-yoy yoy!



Troddin' through San Juan in the arms of America;

Troddin' through Jamaica, a Buffalo Soldier# -

Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival:

Buffalo Soldier, Dreadlock Rasta.

Woy yoy yoy yoy, yoy yoy-yoy yoy!

Woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy,

Woy yoy yoy yoy, yoy yoy-yoy yoy! [fadeout]

STYX lyrics - I Can See For Miles

I can see for miles and miles

I can see for miles and miles

I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles



I know you've deceived me, now here's a surprise

I know that you have 'cause there's magic in my eyes



I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles

Oh yeah



If you think that I don't know about the little tricks you've played

And never see you when deliberately you put things in my way



Well, here's a poke at you

You're gonna choke on it too

You're gonna lose that smile

Beacuse all the while



I can see for miles and miles

I can see for miles and miles

I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles

Oh yeah



You took advantage of my trust in you when I was so far away

I saw you holding lots of other guys and now you've got the nerve to say



That you still want me

Well, that's as may be

But you gotta stand trial

Because all the while



I can see for miles and miles

I can see for miles and miles

I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles

Oh yeah



I know you've deceived me, now here's a surprise

I know that you have 'cause there's magic in my eyes



I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles

Oh yeah



The Eiffel Tower and the Taj Mahal are mine to see on clear days

You thought that I would need a crystal ball to see right through the haze



Well, here's a poke at you

You're gonna choke on it too

You're gonna lose that smile

Beacuse all the while



I can see for miles and miles

I can see for miles and miles

I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles

And miles and miles and miles and miles



I can see for miles and miles

I can see for miles and miles

I can see for miles and miles

I can see for miles and miles

JOHN PRINE lyrics - Maureen, Maureen

Maureen, Maureen,

I shot a doctor last night on the airplane

Well, they said he wouldn't hurt us

But he got me real nervous and mean

He was fat and he stank

And God knows that he drank more than we do

So I shot him in the first class

Then I bailed out and ran home to you



[Chorus:]

But you don't believe me

I could tell by your smile

Honey, why don't you leave me

Get lost for awhile, Maureen.



Maureen, Maureen,

There's a hole in between where we come from

And the things that I'm thinking

Ain't necessary the things that I say

I may have lied to myself

But I tried to tell God how I love you

But even He don't answer

His phone anymore when I pray



Maureen, Maureen,

I shot a doctor last night on the airplane

Well, they said he wouldn't hurt us

But he got me real nervous and mean

Real nervous and mean

10CC lyrics - Overdraft In Overdrive

I got a letter this morning

My overdraft's in overdrive

They wanna know what I'm gonna do about it

How I'm proposing to survive

Stay alive stay alive oooh

They want the money

So I work and work and work

And work and work and work and work

They're making me roast

The cheque's in the post

You needn't worry, worry, worry

Worry, worry, worry, worry

You hit the roof when I'm on the floor

Did I ever let you down before?

I got a letter from my broker

He say he broker than me

My silver mine has tarnished over

I'm on the road to tragedy

Help me, help me, oooooh

I need the money

So I work and work and work

And work and work and work and work

I'm deeper in debt, I'm covered in sweat

You make me worry, worry, worry

Worry, worry, worry, worry

This nightmare's giving me the shakes

Hope I wake and find it's all a mistake

I started with nothing, and worked my way down

I know the things that I do, they mystify you

It's a strange way of living

But I like playing with fire

I'm always walking the wire

And when the tightrope snaps

You'll see my world collapse

I got a letter this morning

Must be my lucky day

Seems I've inherited a fortune

My Uncle Sam has passed away, away, away, ooooh

I'm in the money

No more work and work and work

And work and work and work and work

My banker's aghast, I'm dripping with cash

No need to worry, worry, worry

Worry, worry, worry, worry

You need an angel to survive

An overdraft in overdrive

MEGADETH lyrics - 44 Minutes

It was a cold winter's morning

Somewhere shortly past 9:00 AM

The armored car they wanted to heist wasn't coming

So instead they went for the bank



The fateful duo that sat in the get-away car

Heavily sedated with thousands of rounds

Armor piercing, fully automatic weapons

The bowls of wrath poured out on the ground



[Chorus:]

Baptized in a firefight

Hot blood running cold as ice

44 minutes of target practice

All hell's breaking loose

Outgunned, watching "The Force" come to a firefight with a pocketknife

Getting schooled until they shot Achilles' heel

And brought down the beast!!!



[Guitar Solo]



This was an accident waiting to happen

It wasn't if it would happen, it was when

The city's people sabotaged themselves

Calling their firepower unneeded expense



The two most violent men it seemed couldn't be stopped

Standard police issued guns were just not enough

But SWAT arrived to settle the fight

Between AK-47 and AR-15



[Chorus:]

Baptized in a firefight

Hot blood running cold as ice

44 minutes of target practice

All hell's breaking loose

Outgunned, watching "The Force" come to a firefight with a pocketknife

Getting schooled until they shot Achilles' heel

And brought down the beast!!!



[Guitar Solo 3x]



[Chorus:]

Baptized in a firefight

Hot blood running cold as ice

44 minutes of target practice

All hell's breaking loose

Outgunned, watching "The Force" come to a firefight with a pocketknife

Getting schooled until they shot Achilles' heel

And brought down the beast!!!



[Guitar Solo]

KANSAS lyrics - Lamplight Symphony

(Kerry Livgren)



On a winter's night, stars are cold and bright in the sky,

The slumber of the earth is pure and deep

From a distant wood, drifts the echo of a beast

The old man stirs and wakens in the night

He stands before his window gazing at the grave

Forgotten dreams are flashing through his weary mind

And though his life is empty, he pretends that she's still there



With hunger in his soul, he yearns for life and love gone by,

With memories his one and only joy

All he has to give, he would give to bring back the life,

And raise the one who lies beneath the snow

He lights a lamp and looks at pictures of the past

The faces of their youth still glow with new-found love,

But the picture's faded, and time has stolen youth away



With a spoken word that he thought he heard from her lips,

He felt another presence in the room,

He was filled with fear but filled with joy he arose

And turned to face the image that he knew

She stood before him and her hand reached out for his

A peaceful light shone in her eyes

She said she'd come to soothe him, and someday they'd be as one



She began to fade and her image disappeared,

So he was left alone to face the night,

Never in his life, had he been so held in awe,

As he faced the apparition of his wife

He stood before the window gazing at the grave,

And with a lightened heart he saw the first of dawn,

He knew that she was waiting, that someday they'd be as one

THE TOY DOLLS lyrics - Jean's Been

JUDAS PRIEST lyrics - Jekyll And Hyde

(Glenn Tipton)



Your innocence all but fades

When we peel the veneer away

It's all an act which you stage

With your two faced barricades



Rage consumes

You every night

Caged inside you

Trying to get out



Schizophrenic basic needs

Fools me into complacency

But now I see through your facade

Behind the mask a monster snarls



Hatred burning

In your chest

Dazed but learning

In your quest



[Chorus:]

Oh it's killing me your unpredictability

Oh all the time

You hide behind

Your Jekyll and Hyde



Now I realise

There's a dark side

Disguised



Always changing

Then love hating

Baiting me



Your innocence all but fades

When we peel the veneer away

It's all an act which you stage

With your two faced barricades



Rage consumes you every night

Caged inside you trying to get out



[Chorus]

JUDAS PRIEST lyrics - The Ripper

(Tipton)



You're in for surprise

You're in for a shock

In London town streets

When there's darkness and fog

When you least expect me

And you turn your back

I'll attack



I smile when I'm sneaking

Through shadows by the wall

I laugh when I'm creeping

But you won't hear me at all



All hear my warning

Never turn your back

On the ripper



You'll soon shake with fear

Never knowing if I'm near

I'm sly and I'm shameless

Nocturnal and nameless

Except for "The Ripper"

Or if you like "Jack The Knife"



[Solo (Glenn)]



Any back alley street

Is where we'll probably meet

Underneath a gas lamp

Where the air's cold and damp

I'm a nasty surprise

I'm a devil in disguise

I'm a footstep at night

I'm a scream of the fright



All hear my warning

Never turn your back

On the ripper...the ripper....the ripper

BLONDIE lyrics - Boom Boom In The Zoom Zoom Room

Passing the match test?

That's some kind of tease, cuz everything rests on the moment the little flame sees.

Let's go boom boom in the zoom zoom room.



If you get past that brief little flash, take down my number with your pencil moustache.

Play truth or dare in the light of a strike anywhere.

Don't follow the fallen already lying down there.



Let's go boom boom in the zoom zoom room.

Oh yeah, uh huh.

Boom boom in the zoom zoom room.



I'll be the cause you can champion.

Your scarlet companion.

And won't it be fine?

Keeping my head above water.

I'm no farmer's daughter.

No clinging vine.



When we trip the light fantastic, a feeling so rare, it will follow your features aligned by the glare...

Let's go boom boom in the zoom zoom room.

Let's go boom boom in the zoom zoom room.



I'll be the cause you can champion.

Your scarlet companion.

And won't it be fun?

I'll keep my head above water.

I'm no farmer's daughter.

No clinging vine.



Passing the match test and no one says thank you cuz they're gone just as fast as a breeze.



Boom boom in the zoom zoom room.

Yeah, let's go boom.

Boom boom in the zoom zoom room.

Ah, let's go, let's go boom boom in the zoom zoom room.

ALBERT KING lyrics - Angel Of Mercy

(Homer Banks / Raymond Jackson)



I went to work this mo'nin'

My foreman looked me in the eye

He said, "Fella I don't know what's wrong with ya,

But you look sick enough to die"



He sent me to the company doctor

And he examined from head to toe

"Whatever's wrong with ya, young man,

My x-rays just won't show"



I say, angel of mercy

Won't you please look down on me?

Angel of mercy

A little mercy is all I need



The finance company

They just don't receive my check

They say they want a payment by Friday

Or they want all-a the furniture back



I went to the credit union

To try to get myself a loan

They said, "I would let ya have it young man,

But we hear that you won't be workin' here much longer



Angel of mercy

Won't you please look down on me?

Oh, angel of mercy

A little mercy is all I need



Lord have mercy! Oh angel! Oh!



Oh!



Cut my lights off this mo'nin'

They set my furniture out doors

I was listenin' to the weatherman 'while ago

An' he's says it's gonna rain an'snow



My daughter's got pneumonia

An' my son is down with the flu

My whole family's sufferin' from malnutrition

And I can't even 'fford them soup



I say, angel of mercy

Won't you please look down on me?

Oh, angel of mercy

A little mercy is all I need

JOAN BAEZ lyrics - Song Of Bangladesh

(J. Baez)



Bangladesh, Bangladesh

Bangladesh, Bangladesh

When the sun sinks in the west

Die a million people of the Bangladesh



The story of Bangladesh

Is an ancient one again made fresh

By blind men who carry out commmands

Which flow out of the laws upon which nation stands

Which is to sacrifice a people for a land



Bangladesh, Bangladesh

Bangladesh, Bangladesh

When the sun sinks in the west

Die a million people of the Bangladesh



Once again we stand aside

And watch the families crucified

See a teenage mother's vacant eyes

As she watches her feeble baby try

To fight the monsoon rains and the cholera flies



And the students at the university

Asleep at night quite peacefully

The soldiers came and shot them in their beds

And terror took the dorm awakening shrieks of dread

And silent frozen forms and pillows drenched in red



Bangladesh, Bangladesh

Bangladesh, Bangladesh

When the sun sinks in the west

Die a million people of the Bangladesh



Did you read about the army officer's plea

For donor's blood? It was given willingly

By boys who took the needles in their veins

And from their bodies every drop of blood was drained

No time to comprehend and there was little pain



And so the story of Bangladesh

Is an ancient one again made fresh

By all who carry out commands

Which flow out of the laws upon which nations stand

Which say to sacrifice a people for a land



Bangladesh, Bangladesh

Bangladesh, Bangladesh

When the sun sinks in the west

Die a million people of the Bangladesh

GOO GOO DOLLS lyrics - Iris

And I'd give up forever to touch you

Cause I know that you feel me somehow

You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be

And I don't want to go home right now



And all I can taste is this moment

And all I can breathe is your life

And sooner or later it's over

I just don't want to miss you tonight



And I don't want the world to see me

Cause I don't think that they'd understand

When everything's made to be broken

I just want you to know who I am



And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming

Or the moment of truth in your lies

When everything feels like the movies

Yhea you bleed just to know you're alive



And I don't want the world to see me

Cause I don't think that they'd understand

When everything's made to be broken

I just want you to know who I am

IGGY POP lyrics - Angel

Still when I was crying

You were on my side

Angel, you can come and see me here tonight

Angel, of course you're always more than welcome here

Still I'm needing somebody else: again.



Writings up my place

There is nothing much I want to do about it

The way I fall without you

The way I'm dull without you

I split my score, offer you love.



Still when I was crying

You were on my side

Angel, I never thought that I'd be free or clear

Angel, except for you, I doubt that I'd be here

Still I'm needing somebody else: again.

Still I'm needing somebody else: again.

THE CHURCH lyrics - No Explanation

You pull the sheets around your throat

Talking like a harpy again

I've got this heartache in my coat

Since I don't remember when

It's guaranteed to live and to bleed

And you feed it with your bitterest lies

Hope you can see what that's done to me

But I don't care to look into your eyes

There's no explanation

There's no complication



Dreamtongued man from the golden land

Standing with the keys to your door

I had to laugh as I shook his hand

Didn't know he'd been here before

I know him well but I never can tell

If he sees right through my futile disguise

Hope you can see what that's done to me

But I don't care to look into your eyes

There's no explanation

There's no complication



Walking alone down the path to your home

On a silent and sensual day

It almost could be my very own

Before I went and lost my way

Directions aren't clear when you're standing here

And you cheer me with your faithless surprise

Hope you can see what that's done to me

But I don't care to look into your eyes

There's no explanation

There's no complication

BONNIE RAITT lyrics - Back Around

Turning into something

Drifting off to old ways

Got to pull myself back in



Holding back the questions

We're bruised with all rejection

Gotta pull myself back in



[Chorus:]

Suffer the breaks

You know I still remember it

It keeps burning away

I know that you may take a while

To come back around



Come back around

I miss you around



Reaching out for someone

Burning out for so long

Got to pull myself back in

There's no new religion

And there's no real solution

Gotta pull myself back in



[Chorus 2x]



Come back around

Come back around



Feel you're going under

So keep on treading water

Got to pull myself back in

Feel no obligation

But no more indecision

Gotta pull myself back in

JIMMY BUFFETT lyrics - Six String Music

Turn off the TV

Turn off the crap

Kick off your high heels

Climb up in my lap

And I'll play music

A song from me to you



Simple six string music

A ballad or the blues



No interruptions from the telephone

Don't need call waiting

Just you and me alone

And my six string music

A song from me to you

Simple six string music

A ballad or the blues



Oh I remember that night in Africa

My daughter and my little guitar

Straddling the equator

The king of Zanzibar

Those shy black hidden faces

They didn't know me from Adam's cat

But the words and the singing

And the people in a ring

And the whole night went like that



Some folks like icing, some folks like cake

Some swim in the ocean, some paddle in a lake

You can get into Beethoven, you can groove on Jimmy Reed

But keep it simple stupid

All we really need



Is six string music

A song from me to you

Simple six string music

A ballad or the blues



Six string music

Ain't no symphony

It's just six string music

So elementary

AEROSMITH lyrics - Angels Eye

What ya gonna do when the angel's come

Ya move on; can't move them

I'm gonna get your kicks from the 911

It's moving; so soothing



Your passions deplete, it's just looking to feed

Your own fantasy

The blind side of you is a bad dream come true

That you can't see



[CHORUS]

From an Angel's Eye

Kiss Your Life Goodbye

From An Angel's Eye

Ain't no place to hide



Tell me what you see through an Angel's Eye

The halo; on fire

You never really know till it's do or die

Your devil's desire



Your running in place like a rat in a race

Going no where

The evil you speaks from the tongue of the freaks

So don't go there



[CHORUS]

[GUITAR SOLO]



What ya gonna do when the angel's come

What ya gonna do when you come undone

I'm gonna get your kicks from the 911

Ya so bad; can't hold them



From an Angel's Eye

Kiss your life goodbye

From an angel angel angel's eye

Ain't no place to hide



Fallen Angel

Fallen Angel

Fallen Angeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel.

PET SHOP BOYS lyrics - Decadence

You don't care about nothing

So you don't care about love

If you want me to come back

You'd better change



You'd better give up talking about money

Begin thinking of love

If you want me to come back

You'd better change



You'd better change for the better

It cost more than dollars and cents

Take it from me there's - got to be

An end to this decadence

This decadence



You don't care about people

So you don't care about pain

If you want me to come back

You'd better change



You'd better change for the better

Start using some common sense

Take it from me there's - got to be

An end to this decadence



For decadence - is fatal

It's the beginning of the end

In self-defense

I cannot recommend

This decadence



You don't care about real life

You're too distant and strange

If you want me to come back



You'd better change for the better

It may be rather intense

Stop this caprice, you've got to cease

This fin-de-siecle pretence



For decadence - is fatal

It's the beginning of the end

In consequence

I cannot recommend

This decadence

This decadence

This decadence

This decadence

DIO lyrics - Rainbow In The Dark

When there's lightning - it always bring me down

Cause it's free and I see that it's me

Who's lost and never found

I cry for magic - I feel it dancing in the light

But it was cold - I lost my hold

To the shadows of the night



There's no sign of the morning coming

You've been left on your own

Like a Rainbow in the Dark



Do your demons - do they ever let you go

When you've tried - do they hide - deep inside

Is it someone that you know

You're a picture - just an image caught in time

We're a lie - you and I

We're words without a rhyme



There's no sign of the morning coming

You've been left on your own

Like a Rainbow in the Dark



When there's lightning - it always brings me down

Cause it's free and I see that it's me

Who's lost and never found

Feel the magic - feel it dancing in the air

But it's fear - and you'll hear

It calling you beware



There's no sign of the morning coming

There's no sight of the day

You've been left on your own

Like a Rainbow in the Dark

PETER GABRIEL lyrics - Keine Selbstkontrolle

Essen - Essen - Essen

immer noch so hungrig

ich hoer nie wieder auf

ich hoer nie wieder auf



Schlafen - Schlafen - Schlafen

nachts immer so nervoes

ich hoer nie wieder auf

ich hoer nie wieder auf

ich hoer nie wieder auf

nein, hoer nie wieder auf



Schnell ans Telefon

egal welche Nummer

jede Stimme ist mir recht

zu weit diesmal

viel zu weit hab ich's getrieben

der Kopf platzt - mir ist schlecht

ich hoer nie wieder auf

ich hoer nie wieder auf



Hinter jedem Stuhl

steckt ein Schweigen, das lebt

es kommt hervor, wenn der Nebel sich hebt

es frisst alles -

ALARM!

Lichter gehn aus, Sterne stuerzen ab

Wie ein Bienenschwarm

Keine Selbst-

Keine Selbstkontrolle

Keine Selbst-

Keine Selbst-

Keine Selbstkontrolle



Reden - Reden - Reden

ich tu dir nicht gern weh

ich hoer nicht wieder auf

ich hoer nie wieder auf



Regen in der Strasse

Regen in der Nacht

ich muss jetzt weitergehn

ich muss jetzt weitergehn

Nein, ich hoer nie wieder auf

ich hoer nie wieder auf

Nein, ich hoer nie wieder auf

ich hoer nie wieder auf

ich hoer nie wieder auf

ich hoer nie wieder auf

IDA COX lyrics - Ida Cox's Lawdy Lawdy Blues

(Ida Cox)



Tell me pretty daddy, what's the matter now

Tell me pretty daddy, what's the matter now

Aw, you're trying to quit me and you don't know how



I'd rather be dead, buried in the sea

I'd rather be dead, buried in the sea

Than have the man I love say he don't want me



Lawd, Lawd, Lawd, Lawd, Lawd, Lawd

Lawd, Lawd, Lawdy, Lawdy, Lawd

Oh, the man I love treats me like a dog



I'd rather see my coffin come rolling in my door

I'd rather see my coffin come rolling in my door

Than hear the man I love say. "I don't want you no more"

SONIC YOUTH lyrics - Sunday

Sunday comes alone again

A perfect day for a quiet friend

And you - you will set it free

I see new morning yound yr face

Everybody sez its another phase

And now - now its come to me

See the magic in yr eyes

I see it come as no surprise

And you - you turn yr eyes away

Yeah you - you turn it all away

I guess its true its never too late

Still I don't know what to do today

Oh why - can't I set you free

Will you - do the same for me

Sunday comes and sunday goes

Sunday always seems to move so slow

To me - here she comes again

A perfect ending to a perfect day

A perfect ending what can I say

To you - lonely sunday friend

With you - sunday never ends

RICK SPRINGFIELD lyrics - Human

[Originally by The Human League]



Come on, baby, dry your eyes

Wipe your tears

Never like to see you cry

Won't you please forgive me?



I wouldn't ever try to hurt you

I just needed someone to hold me

To fill the void while you were gone

To fill this space of emptiness



I'm only human

Of flesh and blood I'm made

Human

Born to make mistakes



So many nights I longed to hold you

So many times I looked and saw your face

Nothing could change the way I feel

No-one else could ever take your place



I'm only human

Of flesh and blood I'm made

Human

Born to make mistakes



I am just a man



Please forgive me



The tears I cry aren't tears of pain

They're only to hide my guilt and shame

I forgive you now I ask the same of you

While we were apart I was human too



I'm only human

Of flesh and blood I'm made

I am just a man

Human

Born to make mistakes

10CC lyrics - Notell Hotel

I checked into the room and I checked the view

And then I locked and chained the door

I had time to kill I had space to fill

Like a prisoner on the floor

But then the silence broke, there's a woman

screaming down the hall

And I wondered what was going on

Here at the Notell Hotel

So I killed the light and I slipped the chain

And took a peek into the hall

I was just in time to see the waiter trip

and drop the dinner on the floor

But the bellboy smiled as the elevator started to fall

And I wondered what was going on

Down at the Notell Hotel

Ooh, I love a mystery (cover up and intrigue)

Life can be a thriller, a fantasy of everything I see

Ooh, how I love a mystery (turned up raincoats)

Secret agents, waiting for the missing clue

At a rendezvous

I heard the sound of feet and I looked out to

Meet a girl I knew I'd seen before

She had the kind of looks, you see in dirty books

And she was dripping on the floor

She was taking a shower when someone tiptoed in

And turned out the lights

It's gonna be one of those nights

Down at the Notell Hotel

I took her into my room and picked the lock on the bar

To get a drink to calm her down

Then the mirror cracked as the window shook

And the table turned around

And when I grabbed at the phone

There was a voice at the end of the line

"Is that 1059? Is anything wrong, Is there anything wrong"

Here at the Notell Hotel

Ooh, I love a mystery (cover up and intrigue)

Life can be a thriller, a fantasy of everything I see

Ooh, how I love a mystery (turned up raincoats)

Secret agents, waiting for the missing clue

At a rendezvous

Is anything wrong? Is anything wrong?

Is anything wrong? Is anything wrong?
