U. D.O. lyrics - Animal House

Morning is breaking with death on the street

Driving downtown in a red corvette

The daemons and satans are creeping around

LA nights are madhouse nights



The murderers - are heroes

They're speeding all over the town

And justice - is drunken

I'm tumbling upside down



I'm a madman

Living in an animal house

I'm a madman

Living in an animal house

Living in an animal house



Rockers in concert are serving the bible

Praying in public is getting a habit

For selling out everything seems to be right, oh yeah

The sunset is crowded with tramps passing out



They're sleeping - in trash cans

There's witchcraft in everyone's eyes

Satans and daemons

All dressed up in suits and ties



I'm a madman

Living in an animal house

I'm a madman

Living in an animal house

Madman - going crazy - living in an animal house



I'm a madman...

BOB DYLAN lyrics - Meet Me In The Morning

Meet me in the morning 56th and Wabasha

Meet me in the morning 56th and Wabasha

Honey we could be in Kansas

By time the snow begins to thaw.



They say the darkest hour is right before the dawn

They say the darkest hour is right before the dawn

But you wouldn't know it by me

Every day's been darkness since you been gone.



Little rooster crowing there must be something on his mind

Little rooster crowing there must be something on his mind

Well I feel just like that rooster

Honey ya treat me so unkind.



Well I struggled through barbed wire felt the hail fall from above

Well I struggled through barbed wire felt the hail fall from above

Well you know I even outran the hound dogs

Honey you know I've earned your love.



Look at the sun sinking like a ship

Look at the sun sinking like a ship

Ain't that just like my heart babe

When you kissed my lips?

PRINCE lyrics - My Little Pill

What's a single woman with no real man 2 do?

Tryin' 2 raise your kid when he couldn't give a damn about U

All my cares and troubles dive right off my window sill

Everytime I pop my little pill



A pixie does my laundry and the universe my will

All my cares and troubles dive right off my window sill

All my cares and troubles dive right off my window sill

Everytime I pop my little pill

DEEP PURPLE lyrics - Soldier Of Fortune

(Blackmore/Coverdale)



I have often told you stories

About the way

I lived the life of a drifter

Waiting for the day

When I'd take your hand

And sing you songs

Then maybe you would say

Come lay with me love me

And I would surely stay



But I feel I'm growing older

And the songs that I have sung

Echo in the distance

Like the sound

Of a windmill goin' 'round

I guess I'll always be

A soldier of fortune



Many times I've been a traveller

I looked for something new

In days of old

When nights were cold

I wandered without you

But those days I thougt my eyes

Had seen you standing near

Though blindness is confusing

It shows that you're not here



Now I feel I'm growing older

And the songs that I have sung

Echo in the distance

Like the sound

Of a windmill goin' 'round

I guess I'll always be

A soldier of fortune

Yes, I can hear the sound

Of a windmill goin' 'round

I guess I'll always be

A soldier of fortune

ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA II lyrics - Love Or Money

Just don't look, no matter what they say

Don't let her get to you, make her go away

But you're only human

And the best laid plans of men go astray

So all your good sense

Goes out the door

When you see that girl walk across the floor

Too late you've seen her

You've had a glimpse of paradise



CHORUS

You never want to have to choose

Is it love or money now

Even if you win you lose

Is it love or money now



I'll close my eyes, I don't want to see you

Just go ahead say what you will

And I'll agree

I don't want illusions

Don't want confusions anymore



CHORUS



Is it love or money, I said love or money

That can make your dreams come true

I know it sounds so funny

But it's always love or money

That makes you do the crazy things that you do



CHORUS

BAD COMPANY lyrics - Excited

I've had enough of watching everything you do

It's just too much, I feel I'm going crazy over you

When you smile, I'm burning with a hundred flames

You're my dream, and you don't even know my name, yeah



There's something about you, you've been on my mind

Oh I can't live without you, so now is the time to get



Excited, tonight's the night, you know that I'm

Excited, tonight's the night



Don't you know, ooh I'm looking over your shoulder

Tell me now, exactly what you feel for me

Set me free, can't you see I'm starting to smoulder

I'm on fire, tell me that you feel the same, yeah



I'm feeling a hunger, it's starting to show

Oh I know you're the one, girl, so baby let's go and get



Excited, tonight's the night, we're gonna get

Excited, tonight's the night, you got me

Excited, burning with desire, you know that I'm

Excited, yeah I'm on fire, see me burn, yeah



(Solo)



I'm feeling a hunger, it's starting to show

Yeah, I know you're the one, girl, so baby let's go and get



Excited, tonight's the night, you'd better get

Excited, ooh tonight, you get me

Excited, and now's the night, and I'm

Excited, you know I'm right, let's get

Excited, let's get

Excited, and I'm gonna set you in flight

SUPERTRAMP lyrics - From Now On

Monday has come around again

I'm in the same old place

With the same old faces always watching me

Who knows how long I'll have to stay

Could be a hundred years

Of sweat and tears

At the rate that I get paid



Sometimes I slowly drift away

From all the dull routine

That's with me every day

A fantasy will come to me

Diamonds are what I really need

Think I'll rob a store, escape the law

And live in Italy



Lately my luck has been so bad

You know the roulette wheel's

A crooked deal

I'm loosing all I had



Soon be like a man that's on the run

And live from day to day

Never needing anyone

Play hide and seek

Throughout the week



My life is full of romance



Guess I'll always have to be

Living in a fantasy

That's the way it's got to be

From now on

You think I'm crazy I can see

It's you for you, and me for me

Living in a fantasy

From now on

STATUS QUO lyrics - Ease Your Mind

(Lancaster)



I'm gonna ease your mind, I'm gonna write a line

And write a letter to you

I'm gonna let you know that I'll be coming home

And make it better with you



I sang a sad lullaby

I left you all alone to cry

Well I need you, oh my

Just to sing a lullaby

It won't be very long before I right my wrongs

And make it better with you.



It's such a crying shame I had to break away

To find the same old road

But now I'm getting wise, and I've realised

That that's the way that it goes



So put a smile upon your face

Let me know I've found my place

We've got no time to waste

'Cos all the time for heaven's late.

Now don't you be afraid, it's gonna be the same

I'll make it better with you



I'm gonna ease your mind, I'm gonna write a line

And write a letter to you

I'm gonna sign my name and send it straight away

And I'll be following through



I sang a sad lullaby

I left you all alone to cry

Well I need you, oh my

Just to sing a lullaby

It won't be very long before I right my wrongs

And make it better with you.

MICHAEL JACKSON lyrics - Whatever Happens

He gives another smile, tries to understand her side

To show that he cares

She's consumed with everything that's been goin' on

She says



[Chorus]

Whatever happens, don't let go of my hand



Everything will be alright, he assures her

But she doesn't hear a word that he says

Preoccupied, she's afraid

Afraid that what they're doing is not right

He doesn't know what to say, so he prays

Whatever, whatever, whatever



[Chorus]

Whatever happens, don't let go of my hand

Whatever happens, don't let go of my hand

Whatever happens, don't you let go of my hand



Don't let go of my hand

Don't let go of my hand



He's working day and night, thinks he'll make her happy

Forgetting all the dreams that he had

He doesn't realize it's not the end of the world

It doesn't have to be that bad

She tries to explain, "It's you that makes me happy,"

Whatever, whatever, whatever



[Chorus]

Whatever happens, don't let go of my hand

Whatever happens, don't let go of my hand

Whatever happens, don't let go of my hand

Whatever happens, don't you let go of my hand



Whatever happens, don't let go of my hand

Whatever happens, don't let go of my hand

Whatever happens, don't you let go of my hand



Whatever happens, don't let go of my hand



[Carlos Santana:] Thank you, man!

[Michael Jackson:] Thank you, Carlos!

CROSBY & NASH lyrics - Time After Time

(David Crosby)



Day after day when I wake up

I look in your eyes

At the smile in your eyes

And time after time

When I look there

We're running in rhyme

In a slow easy climb

Up the road that we'll run together

And the love that is growing in my heart

We should not be apart

After part of the puzzle

Falls into place

When I look at your face

I see a smile on your face

THE RAMONES lyrics - Time Bomb

I'm gonna brag about it

I'm not gonna stay in school

I'm gonna rob and steal

Gonna break every rule



I'm a time bomb, baby

I'm a time bomb, baby

I'm a time bomb, baby

I'm a time bomb, baby



I'm gonna brag about it

Gonna kill my mom and dad

I won't be sad about it

'Cause they treat me so bad



I'm a time bomb, baby

I'm a time bomb, baby

I'm a time bomb, baby

I'm a time bomb, baby



I gonna chance to tell you off

And I'm gonna use it well

Everybody, everywhere

Gonna kick somebody's ass



I'm a time bomb, baby

I'm a time bomb, baby

I'm a time bomb, baby

I'm a time bomb, baby

THE STEVE MILLER BAND lyrics - Jackson-Kent Blues

(Steve Miller)



I was down in Nashville just payin' my dues

Headed for Ohio when I read the news

'Bout the people demonstrating 'gainst the President's views

Four were shot down by the National Guard troops

Just like Uncle Sam I put on my fighting shoes

School shot down cause there's no more to lose

Now we're headed to D. C. two by twos

Cause those low down, profound, killin' four blues



Lookin' for my Congressman to make it well known

But the politicians already won't answer his telephone

Making in his office while they're shooting kids down at home

Worried about the voters but he won't be worried long



Silent majority still glued to the tube

Say CIA ain't lookin', FBI come unglued

Shot some more in Jackson just to show the world what they can do

While we're marching to D. C. cause there's too much to do



Give peace a chance

Give peace a chance

There's no turnin' back my friend

There's no turnin' back



When the President said that the tear gas is gone

The army's pulled out leavin' blood on the ground

The streets are empty and the crying's died down

You can be President if no one's around

Just like Kow Kow, you've heard it before

Get back gangster, don't you open that door

Space Cowboy's back to tell you the score

Nothing any good is gonna come from a war

Got those low down, profound, killin' four blues



Give peace a chance

Give peace a chance

Give peace a chance

THE SYLVERS lyrics - High School Dance

Remember back in high school

When you couldn't wait

For the very first dance

And just thinkin' 'bout the music

Puts you in a trance

So you'll have the chance

To get your ticket in a hurry

For the high school dance

STEVIE WONDER lyrics - Higher Ground

People keep on learnin'

Soldiers keep on warrin'

World keep on turnin'

Cause it won't be too long



Powers keep on lyin'

While your people keep on dyin'

World keep on turnin'

Cause it won't be too long



I'm so darn glad he let me try it again

Cause my last time on earth I lived a whole world of sin

I'm so glad that I know more than I knew then

Gonna keep on tryin'

Till I reach my highest ground



Teachers keep on teachin'

Preachers keep on preachin'

World keep on turnin'

Cause it won't be too long

Oh no



Lovers keep on lovin'

Believers keep on believin'

Sleepers just stop sleepin'

Cause it won't be too long

Oh no



I'm so glad that he let me try it again

Cause my last time on earth I lived a whole world of sin

I'm so glad that I know more than I knew then

Gonna keep on tryin'

Till I reach my highest ground...Whew!



Till I reach my highest ground

No one's gonna bring me down

Oh no

Till I reach my highest ground

Don't let nobody bring you down (they'll sho 'nuff try)

God is gonna show you higher ground

He's the only friend you have around

ALISON KRAUSS AND UNION STATION lyrics - Faraway Land

When years seem like days to me,

No time on my hands.

I run away to a place in me to a faraway land.



When home seems so far from me,

Heaven's lights grow dim.

It's just as far as my deepest heart,

Where my heart's father lives.

His quiet voice speaking in silence every day,

If I will only listen to the words he has to say.

I'll walk in his spirit and see him in my face.

I will live cause he will live in my place.



When life seem so hard to bear,

When shadows look real.

The circumstance is your father's care,

Don't find faith by what you feel.

If you have been running too,

Stop now in your tracks.

Turn again to the one in you,

And put your burdens on his back.



His quiet voice speaking in silence every day,

If I will only listen to the words he has to say.

I'll walk in his spirit and see him in your face.

I will live cause he will live in my place.



When years seem like days to me,

No time on my hands.

I run away to a place in me to a faraway land.

LITA FORD lyrics - Still Waitin'

You were my best friend

You never let me down

Whenever I needed you

You were always around



Those days are lost

Gone and thrown them away

You said it's over for you

But it ain't over for me



I'm still waitin'

Waitin' for you

I'm still waitin'

Waitin' for you



You drank my fine wine

You took my precious time

And you left me with nothin'

'Out a kiss

You were a bad move

What you tryin' to prove

With the way that ya treat me

I guess now I'm the fool



I'm still waitin'

Waitin' for you

I'm still waitin'

Waitin' for you



I'm still waitin'

Waitin' for you

I'm still waitin'

Waitin' for you



I tried, I tried to get on your best side

Playin' your game, I'll never give in

Don't throw our love away

You'll come runnin' back, beggin' for another day

If I can't hold on, then I can just be strong



I've been waitin'



Still waitin'

I'm still waitin'

I'm still waitin'

Waitin' for you, yeah!



I'm still waitin'

I'm still waitin'

I'm still waitin'

Waitin' for you

IRVING BERLIN lyrics - If The Managers Only Thought The Same As Mother

[1st verse:]

There's no mistake that I can act

I'm talented and that's a fact

I know, because my mother told me so

She kept a house for actor folks

And listened to their funny jokes

So now I guess my mother ought to know

But managers are awful dense

It seems to me they have no sense

I know my darling mother wouldn't lie

She thinks I'm better than the best

But managers think I'm a pest

And all they say is, "Go somewhere and die"



[Refrain:]

If the managers only thought the same as mother

You bet I'd show them all a thing or three

They'd have starred me in "The Thief"

For it's mother's firm belief

Margaret Illington could never steal like me

If the Shuberts only took a tip from mother

I'd be starring like a star was never starred

Leslie Carter and that bunch

Would be at Childs serving lunch

If the managers only thought the same as ma



[2nd verse:]

My mother goes to all the shows

She knows what ev'ry woman knows

She knows Maude Adams knows a thing or two

But when she saw her in that play

She said to me that very day

"My child, she doesn't know as much as you"

So I got busy with my pen

And wrote to Charlie Frohman then

I asked him if he wouldn't star me quick

His answer nearly knocked me dead

For in his letter Charlie said

"I didn't even know that you were sick"



[2nd refrain:]

If the managers only thought the same as mother

I'd act like Sarah Bernhardt never did

Harry Miller would forget

Margret Anglin you bet

He would want me as his real supporting kid

If Frohman only took a tip from mother

He would label me as Frohman's only star

Missus Fiske would take a drop

To some Broadway candy shop

If the managers only thought the same as ma

JOURNEY lyrics - Escape

(Perry/Schon/Cain)



He's just a young boy out of school

Livin' his world like he wants to

They're makin' laws, but they don't understand

Turns a boy in to a fightin' man

They won't take me

They won't break me

No one could tell him what to do

Had to learn everything the hard way

He's on the street, breakin' all the rules

I'm tellin' you that he's nobody's fool

They won't take me

They won't break me



Now he's leavin', gettin' out from this masquerade

Oh gotta go

I'm finally out in the clear and I'm free

I've got dreams I'm livin' for

I'm movin' on where they'll never find me

Rollin' on to anywhere

I'll break away, yes I'm on my way

Leavin' today, yes I'm on my way



Just when you think you had it all figured out

Runnin' scared can change your mind

I never knew I had so much to give

How hard times can fool ya

Oh I'm okay, I'm alright

Feelin' good out on your own

I'll break away, I'll break away tonight

I've got dreams I'm livin' for

I'll break away

Yes, I'm on my way

I'm leaving', leavin' today

Yes, I'm on my way

This is my escape

Yes, I'm on my way

I'll break away

Yes, I'm on my way

ERIC BURDON & THE ANIMALS lyrics - White Houses

White houses in neat little rows

Contrasting against the sky

Tumbled down black shacks over the tracks

Children so hungry they could cry

The chrome, the steel, the metal dream

Leaving the teepee to rot

The escapist young mind, left behind

Saving dimes for community pot



You better get straight

Better, better get straight

I feel you better get straight right now

Better get straight babe



They're crying out for love

All the time

But they fail to see the neighbors eyes

The TV is on, 6 o clock news

And channels in full colored lies

The company meets, the president speaks

He's young but his bones creak

Young girl dresses for the highschool dance

And the guy next door is dying for a beat



Get straight

You better, yes you better get straight babe

Did you hear what I said?

I said to you, that you, you better get straight



They put a bible in a drawer

Of the motel room

And it's crying out to be read

But it stays right there, collecting dust

No one understands what's being said

Lovers make love in country boxes

What will tomorrow bring?

They've been told that it's wrong

But they don't give a damn

Soon another life it will bring



You better get straight babe

Yeah, you better get straight baby

ANITA BAKER lyrics - You Belong To Me

(Graham Lyle, Terry Britten & Billy Livsey)



She wants you near her

Only to be there

She won't let go of you now

Nobody loves you

Like I can love you

I just keep holding on somehow



It's pointless, I guess

To be so possessive

When I'm staking my claim to your heart



You belong

You belong to me

You know my love for you is guaranteed

You belong

You belong to me

Now and forever it will always be



Every moment we share is stolen

(feel in my heart)

Nothing's so precious as time

(you don't love me)

Then I'm reminded your world is calling

(I play a part)

I play a part on the sidelines

(I'll wait for you)



My role is to wait anticipating

The minute you walk through my door



You belong

You belong to me

You know my love for you is guaranteed

You belong

You belong to me

Now and forever it will always be



Maybe I have no rights

Oh but when your arms are holding me tight

And your kisses tell me all I want to know

My only problem is letting you go



And your kisses tell me all I want to know

But I will never get used to letting you go



You belong

You belong to me

You know my love for you is guaranteed

You belong

You belong to me

Now and forever it will always be

SINEAD O'CONNOR lyrics - Scarlet Ribbons

I peeked in to say goodnight

And I heard my child in prayer

"And for me some scarlet ribbons

Scarlet ribbons for my hair"

All the stores were closed and shuttered

All the streets were dark and bare

In our town, no scarlet ribbons

Scarlet ribbons for her hair

Thru the night my heart was aching

Just before the dawn was breaking

I peeped in and on her pillow

On her pillow lying there

Lovely ribbons, scarlet ribbons

Scarlet ribbons for her hair

If I live to be a hundred

I will never know from where

Came those ribbons, scarlet ribbons

Scarlet ribbons for her hair

BARRY MANILOW lyrics - I Write The Songs (Acoustic)

I've been alive forever

And I wrote the very first song

I put the words and the melodies together

I am music

And I write the songs



[Chorus:]

I write the songs that make the whole world sing

I write the songs of love and special things

I write the songs that make the young girls cry

I write the songs, I write the songs



My home lies deep within you

And I've got my own place in your soul

Now when I look out through your eyes

I'm young again, even tho' I'm very old



I write the songs that make the whole world sing

I write the songs of love and special things

I write the songs that make the young girls cry

I write the songs, I write the songs



Oh, my music makes you dance and gives you spirit to take a chance

And I wrote some rock 'n roll so you can move

Music fills your heart, well that's a real find place to start

It's from me, it's for you

It's from you, it's for me

It's a worldwide symphony



I write the songs that make the whole world sing

I write the songs of love and special things

I write the songs that make the young girls cry

I write the songs, I write the songs



I write the songs that make the whole world sing

I write the songs of love and special things

I write the songs that make the young girls cry

I write the songs, I write the songs



I am music and I write the songs

VAN MORRISON lyrics - Start All Over Again

The way you see me walking on

That's why I'm telling you in song

There's only one way to get ahead

You've got to give it up instead

Start all over again



You see me standing on the bridge

I see the sunset in my view

The field looks colourful to me

I know there's more than I can see

We can start all over again



Made it, made it, made it

Made it through the winter time

Made it through the spring

Made it through the summer

And the fall



That's why I'm giving you the time

You always wanted your own mind

The way is up to you and me

And there's horizons yet to see

When we start all over again

VAN DER GRAAF GENERATOR lyrics - Orthenthian Street Part I

I feel a calling for the sea, I want to walk on the sand dunes...

I hope you'll forgive me if I say I can't take you:

at some times I've got to get away,

if just to get a break from the play

that we're all involved in.



All the love I'm living now could have ended yesterday

if the snow had fallen too hard up there on the Motorway...

If it happens, don't feel sorry, I won't feel alone:

it's just another travelling zone

that you can't come on.

YUSUF ISLAM lyrics - The Beloved

His wisdom flowed from heaven's book

Just like threaded pearls,

Just like threaded pearls



He left his self to flee to God

And God sent him back to us



He was born to be the beloved

A will of the Divine

He was born to be the beloved,

He was born to guide



He prayed all his nights alone

And stars and angels sighed

And in the day he lead the way

With blazing words so bright



He was born to be the beloved

A will of the Divine

He was born to be the beloved,

He was born to be kind



He taught the people to worship

Bowing to one God,

Bowing to one God



His mercy stretched from East to West

To every man, woman and child



He was born to be the beloved-

A will of the Divine

He was born to be the beloved,

Nature Sublime



He opened up the doors of love

For every heart parched with thirst

He was a mercy to the words

And unto the human births



He was born to be the beloved

A will of the Divine

He was born to be the beloved,

He was born to guide

STYX lyrics - Prelude 12 (Promised Land)

(J. Baxter)



It was 'bout 15 years ago

Just about this time

The child we both were waiting for

Soon opened his eyes

First the cough & then the pain

Showed within your face

I felt the cold mist round your hand

Like death was in its place



Lord, Lord take my hand

Take me down to the promised land

Ever since you died my heart has died

I'll be with you in the sunshine, sand



I called the doctor to your side

He knelt down by your bed

He looked at you, he held your hand

Then he shook his head

The child you want won't give the love

You both want to get

As your wife come quickly now

Cos she has not long to live

He said--



Lord, Lord take my hand

Take me down to the promised land

Ever since you died my heart has died

I'll be with you in the sunshine, sand



Every day I go to kiss, the ground in which you lay

Your golden hair has turned to dust

Your smile has turned to clay

The pain I felt for 15 years

This life won't take a win

And I will lie within your arms

By the evening of this day



Lord, Lord take my hand

Take me down to the promised land

Ever since you died my heart has died

I'll be with you in the sunshine, sand



[repeat to fade]

BILLY WARD & THE DOMINOES lyrics - St. Therese Of The Roses

St. Therese of the roses

I will come to you each night

Near the altar in the chapel

I will pray by candle light



St. Therese of the roses

Won't you kindly hear my prayer

Give your blessings to my sweetheart

And the love that we both share



Won't you guide us (guide us)

And protect us (protect us)

Through the years that lie ahead

Won't you fill our hearts with sunshine

On the day that we are wed



You're the little flower of heaven

Guiding all who come to you

St. Therese of the roses

I know you'll make my prayer come true



[Instrumental Interlude]



You're the little flower of heaven

Guiding all who come to you

St. Therese of the roses

I know you'll make my prayer come true

MICHAEL JACKSON lyrics - Touch The One You Love

If I had a penny for everytime

I didn't hold your hand

If I had a nickel for everytime

I didn't understand



I'd be the world poorest millionaire

'Cause you're not there

And no one ever told me

What you're willing do



If I had only reach out

I might still be touching you

You got to touch the one you love

If you want the one you love to touch you

(You've got, you've gotta to touch

You gotta touch the one who loves you)



Would get embarrased for every time

I've moved and make you cry

You get sentimental, and

I would never know the reason why



I hold the world sings

Making for my selfish pride

Is it really over

When I get close to you



I only want to show you

That i'm learning a thing or two

If you want the one you love

If you want the one you love to touch

You got to....



[Fade out]

MUDCRUTCH lyrics - Depot Street

(Tom Petty)



I live on the West side

By the county reservoir

And she lives down on Depot Street

Behind the city hall, behind the city hall

Her father's name is Macintosh

Her mother's name is Pearl

And they live down on Depot Street

But she's my little girl

She's my little girl



Down on Depot Street

Goin' to see my baby

Depot Street

To see my girl

Depot Street

Baby, baby, baby

Depot Street

Behind the city hall



Now we ain't got no money

We don't have no car

We stepped out on Depot Street

Just dancin' in the bars, dancin' in the bars

And her sister doesn't like me

But I don't really care

I know the only reason is

She wants me for herself

She wants me for herself



Down on Depot Street

Goin' to see my baby

Depot Street

To see my girl

Depot Street

Baby, baby, baby

Depot Street

Behind the city hall



Now we ain't been to college

We don't care at all

There's way too many people there

Makin' way too many rules

Way too many rules

So we got no education

But we don't care at all

'Cause it don't mean much on Depot Street

Behind the city hall

Behind the city hall



Down on Depot Street

Goin' to see my baby

Depot Street

To see my girl

Depot Street

Baby, baby, baby

Depot Street

Behind the city hall



Down on Depot Street

Goin' to see my baby

Depot Street

To see my girl

Depot Street

Baby, baby, baby

Depot Street

B. B. KING lyrics - You Shouldn't Have Left Me

(B. B. King / Joe Josea)



You shouldn't have left me, baby

Baby, you shouldn't have gone away

Oh, you shouldn't have left me, baby

Baby, you shouldn't have gone away

Oh, you left the one that love you, woman

Cryin' every night and every day



Someone that you love more, baby

Made you break my heart in two

Someone that you love more, baby

Made you break my heart in two

I want you to remember, baby

The same thing could happen to you



When the pains in your heart, woman

Make you feel like you could die

Oh, when the pains, the pains in your heart, baby

Make you feel like you could die

Oh, you'll know then that you shouldn't have left me, woman

Baby, and how it feels to say goodbye

ZUCCHERO lyrics - Sento Le Campane

Gino sei un cane

Fammi bere fammi bu

Meno male bella infame

Che dal buio arrivi tu



Quando vedo te

Sento le campane

Mi scappa la pipi

Da da dall'emozione



Sono proprio un bel tacchino

Nella notte coccode

Vuoi vedere che dal fango

Nasce un fiore anche per me



Quando vedo te

Sento le campane

Mi scappa la pipi

Da da dall'emozione



E sempre il solito riff, si

Pero mi sento bene

Quando vedo te

Sento le campane



Sono figlio di una pistola

Vieni via con me

Sono figlio di una notte che vola

Ti porto via con me



Get down... I wanna give you my love... yeah

Stand up... I wanna give you my love... yeah

Black out... I wanna give you my love... yeah



Gino sei un cane

Ora vado via perche

Lei mi vuole, lei ha fame

Nella notte coccode



Quando vedo te

Sento le campane

Mi scappa la pipi

Da da dall'emozione



E sempre il solito riff, si

Pero mi sento bene

Mi scappa solo la pipi

Su questo mondo infame



Get funk!

THE MONKEES lyrics - Do Not Ask For Love (Prithee)

And is it so, once you thou art returning?

Hast thou lost thy way as once before?

I warned thee more than many times, thus would it be.

I shall not be thy refuge once more.



Thou makest me free then soon thou makest demands on me

And I am not thy love, thou workest in me slavery.

But I shan't hear thee as before.

I prithee, do not ask for love once more.



So go my way, and soon I shall go likewise.

And if thy path be high, then be mine low.

Behold my footsteps in the sand, but follow not.

For soon they shall be covered with snow.



Thou makest me free then soon thou makest demands on me

And I am not thy love, thou workest in me slavery.

But I shan't hear thee as before.

I prithee, do not ask for love once more.



I prithee, do not ask for love once more.

THE TOY DOLLS lyrics - Blaze Of The Borough

Jimmy's running short o' cash,

The bar takings have took a crash

Jimmy can't think what to do,

The bills in from the local breweryyyy Oi!



Jim's a nutcase round the twist,

Jimmy is an arsenist

Jimmy thinks nowt of the cost & sets

Alight to his own hosterlryyyyy



[Chorus:]

Flames grow high,

In the blaze of the borough Jimmy fried.

In the blaze of the borough,

The blaze of the borough

Hey!



Windows cracked & bottles broke,

The bar & lounge were full o' smoke

Things would soon look bright n' sunny when

Jim claims the insurance money back Oi!

Jimmy's a crackpot, he forgot,

He was trapped inside, the clot

A ring of flames with Jimmy in the middle,

He'd cocked up his insurance fiddleoo



[Chorus]... [guitar bit]



Flames grow high, flames grow high,

In the borough ohhhhh Jimmy fried.

Oh yes he fried, nin the borough ohhhhh

BARBRA STREISAND lyrics - Higher Ground

Walk me over

this horizon

let the sun's light

warm my face

once again the times are changin

once again i lost my way

well the words of ancient poets

fall like dust upon my shoes

grief has robbed me of my vision

turned my heart from higher truths

so take my hand

and lift me higher

be my love and my desire

hold me safe

and honor bound

take my heart to

higher ground

I have walked

too long in darkness

I have walked

too long alone

blindly clutching

fists of diamonds

that i found were only stones

i would trade the world of ages

for a warmer hand to hold

the path of light is narrow

but it leads to streets of gold

so take my hand

and lift me higher

be my love and my desire

hold me safe

and honor bound

take my heart to

higher ground



in this world

we move through shadows

never sure

of what we see

while the truth that lies between us

come and share the truth with me

so take my hand

and lift me higher

be my love and my desire

hold me safe

and honor bound

take my heart to

higher

higher ground



hmmmmm hmm hmmmm hmmmm

KMFDM lyrics - No Peace

Without rhyme whithout reaseon

Everyday a public treason

No peace for the people

And a handfull of fools

How much longer will ignorance rule



We're getting off

We're getting off

You have to know that we have enough



So face it, the place is a mess

No, no good for you act like you should

We, we're doomed right from the start

No, no doubt for the choices to hold



We're getting off

We're getting off

You have to know that we have enough



Now it's your turn to fight

Armed and ready, famous and rich

Now it's your turn to fight

Time has come to flip the switch

Now it's your turn to fight

So what do you know, and how does it feel

Now it's your turn to fight

No peace without justice and that's for real



We deserve a much better life

Control a harmless obsession

We, we're big and never bad

You, your days are not (?)



We're getting off

We're getting off

You have to know that we have enough



Now it's your turn to fight

Armed and ready, famous and rich

Now it's your turn to fight

Time has come to flip the switch

Now it's your turn to fight

So what do you know, and how does it feel

Now it's your turn to fight

No peace without justice and that's for real



Now it's your turn to fight

Your turn to fight

Now it's your turn to fight

Now it's your turn to fight

Now it's your turn to fight

Now it's your turn to fight

Now it's your turn to fight

No peace without justice and that's for real



No peace without justice and that's for real

GILBERT O'SULLIVAN lyrics - The Luck Of The Irish

One and one and two are three

If you adhere to Irish logic

That's just one of the many jokes of which

The Irish are the topic

You can talk about the luck of but in

Truth there's not a lot



So we have this reputation of being

As thick two short planks

And although George Bernard Shaw

Was Irish he's an Englishman

No we don't live in houses that are

Otherwise known as bars

Yes we do have other transport

Besides donkeys and carts

Go to Dublin day or night

And see for yourself there's

Not a bog in sight



In America the joke about the irishman

Would die

There for some peculiar season it's

The polish they decry

Bet in sweden it's norwegians and in

Norway it's the danes



And it's a fallacy to think that irish

People drink the most

When in njoy germany alone their beer

Consumption unapproached

As for britian far from being sober

They would enjoy thier drink

But to call an enghlishman a drunk

Would be an awful thing

What you need todo for that

Is a chap named pat and the luck of the irish



Kiss the blarney stone but get down on your back to do it

Okay on the surface I admit it does seem rather stupid

But you mustn't judge a book by all accounts

But by what's underneath it's

Cover up your daughters what they don't see they won't miss

Remember contraception is despair but ignorance is bliss

The church will tell you what you should and what you

Shouldn't do is argue with it



Shergar's body been exhumed by irish terrorists today

If the ransom isn't paid out then his life may not be saved

No we don't live in houses that are

Otherwise known as bars

Yes we do have other transport

Besides donkeys and carts

Go to Dublin day or night

And see for yourself there's

Not a bog in sight

The luck of the irsh



Kiss the blarney stone but get down on your back to do it

Okay on the surface I admit it does seem rather stupid

But you mustn't judge a book by all accounts

But by what's underneath it's

Cover up your daughters what they don't see they won't miss

Remember contraception is despair but ignorance is bliss

The church will tell you what you should and what you

Shouldn't do is argue with it

CAROLE KING lyrics - Sweet Sweetheart

You're a sweet sweetheart

You've been a real good friend

You're around when I'm down

To pick me up again

Though it could never be said

To my faults you're blind

You overlook the bad

And you keep all the good in mind



Now, there have been times

When we couldn't get it on

And I thought I'd have to admit

The feeling was gone

But you just closed your mind

To all the seeds of doubt

And somehow you found a way

To make it all work out



You're a sweet sweetheart

You've been a real good friend

You're around when I'm down

To pick me up again

Though it could never be said

To my faults you're blind

You overlook the bad

And you keep all the good in mind



Now when you come home

At the close of the day

You got a way of lookin'

That sends a message my way

What this message means

Any old fool could see

And the thing that makes me feel so well

Is you mean it just for me



You're a sweet sweetheart

You've been a real good friend

You're around when I'm down

To pick me up again

Though it could never be said

To my faults you're blind

You overlook the bad

And you keep all the good in mind



You're a sweet sweetheart

You've been a real good friend

You're around when I'm down

To pick me up again

Though it could never be said

To my faults you're blind

You overlook the bad

And you keep all the good in mind



You're a sweet sweetheart

THE RAMONES lyrics - Oh Oh I Love Her So

I met her at the Burger King we fell in love by the soda machine

So we took the car downtown the kids were hanging out all around

Then we went down to Coney Island on the coaster and around again

And no one's gonna ever tear us apart cause she's my sweetheart

All right, oh yeah



Oh oh I love her so Oh oh I love her so Oh oh I love her so



Oh oh I love her so Oh oh I love her so Oh oh I love her so



Hanging out on a night like this I'm gonna give her a great big kiss

I'm gonna make her mine and everything's gonna be real fine



I met her at the Burger King we fell in love by the soda machine

So we took the car downtown the kids were hanging out all around

Then we went down to Coney Island on the coaster and around again

And no one's gonna ever tear us apart cause she's my sweetheart

All right, oh yeah



Oh oh I love her so Oh oh I love her so Oh oh I love her so



Oh oh I love her so Oh oh I love her so Oh oh I love her so

FLEETWOOD MAC lyrics - Heroes Are Hard To Find

(Christine McVie)



Girls you know

When you're in the mood

(In the mood)

You may meet a man

Can't do anything good

(nothing good)

But you've got to pity him

And ty to understand

(understand)

That a hero, a hero is so hard to find

When he takes you

For his love

(for his love)

And he tries to tell you

That there is'nt any other

(don't believe him)

Oh, he may kiss you

And tell you he'll miss you

(such a shame)

But don't forget, a hero is so hard to find

When he says hello

Don't forget they're all the same

(you know they're all the same)

You may end up sitting all alone

And with yourself to blame

Oh, don't you let him

So when he tells you

You've got diamonds in your eyes

(he's just lying)

Don't get carried away

Cause you know he's selling you lies

(he's just lying)

So when you get the feeling

The man you've got's no good

He's no good

Well just remember, a hero is so hard to find

Well just remember, a hero is so hard to find

Heroes, heroes are hard to find

Heroes, heroes are hard to find

Heroes, heroes are hard to find

Heroes, heroes are hard to find...

BARRY MANILOW lyrics - When Love Is Gone

When love is gone

What good is candlelight

Each lonely day

Becomes a sleepless night

No one is there to share the rising down

And so it fades away when love is gone



When love is gone

Life's just a hollow shell

The stars don't shine

The moon has lost its spell

That old familiar ache that makes the night

So long

Just seems to linger on when love is gone



When love is gone

There's just the memories

An empty heart where love once used to be

Those lonely blues refuse to let you carry on

It's just that way each day when love is gone

When love is gone

When love is gone

MUDDY WATERS lyrics - Trouble No More

(McKinley Morganfield a. k.a. Muddy Waters)



Can't tell how long you're gone, can't tell how long you stay

It's good country fun, it's your home some day

Someday baby, ain't no trouble for me, anymore



Ah keep on dancin' baby, let me dance one dance

Well I know when I go, I'm livin' too fast. Someday

I'll tell him about it, in my neighborhood

Gonna tell that little woman, that she don't do me no good. Someday



I know you're leaving, and your comin' back home

Oh, without my lovin lady, I can't stay long. Someday



Good Bye baby, ah take my hand

Don't want no woman no, which ain't have no man

Someday baby, you ain't gonna trouble poor me, anymore

SKID ROW lyrics - Here I Am

(Bolan, Snake)



Six foot one and lonely

Dressed in spaghetti rags

Standing at the bus stop

With her alligator bags



What can u do?

No, no, no, what can I do

I better see a doctor

'Cause I think I'm getting hooked on you



I ain't much for talkin'

But all I got to say is



Here I am

Close your eyes and I'll be Superman

Here I am

Come and take my lovin' while you can



She broke a million hearts

On 2nd Avenue

With her German cigarettes

And designer attitude



What can u do?

No, no, no, what can I do

My love's been goin' blind

Since the first time I laid eyes on you



Ain't much for conversation

But I got to let you know



Here I am

Close your eyes and I'll be Superman

Here I am

Come and take my lovin' while you can



You don't need a crystal ball

To see she's got it all



Here I am

Close your eyes and I'll be Superman

Here I am

Come and take my lovin' while you can

THIN LIZZY lyrics - Borderline

Midnight in the big city

At the bar drinking all on my own

Just thinking about that girl and me

How something's going wrong



Mister, tell me, what's my saving grace?

The back room boys

Were all telling me

I'm a borderline case



Back on the borderline one more time



Seven beers and still sober

It's time to change to something stronger

I cannot take this scene no longer

She could have told me it's all over



Back in my home town

The old place is still the same

But time can cast a spell over something

You can't go back again



Back on the borderline one more time



Mister, fill me another

Till I go crazy and it turn my mind around

Just pass that bottle one more time

And slowly drink it down



Jeanie can I tell you?

The shame of my disgrace

It's just love or rejection

For this borderline case



Back on the borderline one more time



I'm on my bended knees crawling

I'm begging you darling

IDA COX lyrics - Hard Time Blues

(Ida Cox)



I never seen such a real hard times before

I never seen such a real hard times before

The wolf keeps walkin' all 'round my door



They howl all night and they moan till the break of day

They howl all night and they moan till the break of day

They seem to know my good man's gone away



I can't go outside to my grocery store

I can't go outside to my grocery store

I ain't got no money and my credit don't go no more



Won't somebody please try and find my man for me

Won't you please try and find my man for me

Tell him I'm broke and hungry, lonely as I can be



If he didn't like my potatoes, why did he dig so deep

If he didn't like my potatoes, why did he dig so deep

In his mama's potato patch, five and ten times a week?

JOHN DENVER lyrics - I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free

And I wish I knew how

It would feel to be free

I wish that I could break

All the chains holding me

I wish I could say

All the things that I'd like to say

Say 'em loud say 'em clear

For the whole round world to hear

I wish I could share

All the love that's in my heart

Remove every doubt that keeps us apart

And I wish you could know

What it means to be me

Then you'd see and agree

Every man should be free



I wish I could live



Like I'm longin' to live

I wish I could give

What I'm longin' to give

And I wish I could do

All the things I'd like to do

You know they still are quite a few

Yes Sir...

And I'm way way over due



I wish I could be like a bird up in the sky

How sweet it would be

If I found out I could fly

So long to the sun

And look down upon Ihe sea

And I sing because I know

how it feels to be

And I sing because I know

how it feels to be

And I sing because I know

how it feels to be free

Yeah

AC/DC lyrics - Gimme A Bullet

(A. Young / M. Young / B. Scott)



She had the word

Had the way

The way of letting me know

She knew the game

Called the play

She hit me low

Said now you go your way

I'll go mine

And that's the start

Doctor, doctor

Ain't no cure

For the pain in my heart



Gimme a bullet to bite on, something to chew

Gimme a bullet to bite on, and I'll make believe

I'll make believe it's you



Don't need no drink

Don't need no drug

Don't need no sympathy

Sooner or later

Send me a bill

For what she's doing to me

Operator

Long distance lips

On the telephone

Come tomorrow

Come to grips

With being all alone



Gimme a bullet to bite on, something to chew

Gimme a bullet to bite on, and I'll make believe

I'll make believe it's you



A bullet to bite on

Gimme a bullet to bite on

Come on now

Gimme a bullet to bite on

Bullet to chew

I'll make the lady chew

I'll make the lady chew

Gimme a bullet to bite on

You're a bullet baby

I want a bullet to bite on

BUDDY HOLLY lyrics - Wait Till The Sun Shines, Nellie

(Sterling / VonTilzer)



Wait till the sun shines, Nellie

Wait till the sun shines, Nellie

By and by



Wait till the sun shines, Nellie

And the clouds go a-drifting by

We will be happy, Nellie

Don't you cry



Down Lover's Lane we'll wander,

Sweethearts you and I

Wait till the sun shines, Nellie

By and by



Down Lover's Lane we'll wander,

Sweethearts you and I

Wait till the sun shines, Nellie

By and by

STEVE EARLE lyrics - Satellite Radio

Top of my shift-frog in my throat-sleep in my eyes

Startin' to drift, cuppa hot joe, checkin' the sky

Never can tell, makin' my list, checkin' it twice

Fasten my belt, flippin' my switch, checkin' my mic



Is there anybody out there? One-two-three on the satellite radio?

Big daddy on the air, are you listenin' to me? On the satellite radio

At the galaxy's end where the stars burn bright are you tunin' in and turnin' on?

Is there anybody listenin' to earth tonight on the satellite radio?



Listen to the radio

Listen to the radio



Turn it on

Turn it up



What if they're right? What if I'm wrong? What if we're kings?

One of these nights-play the right song-telephone rings

Stone in the sea, shot in the dark, splittin' the air

Listen to me, kindle the spark, answer my prayer



Is there anybody out there? One-two-three on the satellite radio?

Does anybody care, are you listenin' to me? On the satellite radio

At the galaxy's end where the stars burn bright, are you tunin' in and turnin' on?

Is there anybody listenin' to us tonight on the satellite radio?



Listen to the radio

Listen to the radio



Turn it on



Is there anybody out there? One-two-three on the satellite radio?

Big daddy on the air, are you listenin' to me? On the satellite radio

At the galaxy's end where the stars burn bright, are you tunin' in and turnin' on?

Is there anybody listenin' to earth tonight on the satellite radio?



Is there anybody out there? One-two-three on the satellite radio?

Big daddy on the air, are you listenin' to me? On the satellite radio

At the galaxy's end where the stars burn bright, are you tunin' in and turnin' on?

Is there anybody listenin' to earth tonight on the satellite radio?



Listen to the radio

DURAN DURAN lyrics - Land

Baby, I'm really sorry

To break your dream

When it's so early

Headlights

On the windowpane

They're getting lost

In the light of day



Tomorrow is today

And soon my ship will sail



Away from here

To walk a howling sealane

Stay for me

Your love is life

For love is land



Baby, just hear my story

Before I leave

Before we write the end

Standing, across the ocean stream

I'll need to know

I'll need your country then



Tomorrow and today

You keep my landfall safe



Away from here (away from here)

To walk a howling sealane (away from you)

Stay for me (stay for me)

I need your love to land

Away from here (away from here)

To walk a howling sealane (away from you)

Stay for me (stay for me)

Your love is life, for love is land



Away from here (away from here)

To walk a howling sealane (away from you)

Stay for me (stay for me)

I need your love to land

Away from here (away from here)

To walk a howling sealane (away from you)

Stay for me (stay for me)

Your love is life, for love is land



Love is land

Love is land

Love is land

LIONEL RICHIE lyrics - Goodbye

I wanted you for life

You and me

In the wind

I never thought there come a time

That our story would end

It's hard to understand

But I guess I'll have to try

It's not easy

To say goodbye.



For all the joy we shared

All that time we had to spend

Now if I had one wish

I'd want forever back again

To look into your eyes

And hold you when you cry

It's not easy

To say goodbye



I can remember all those great times we had

There were so many memories, some good some bad

Yes and through it all

Those memories will last

Forever



There's peace in where you are

May be all I need to know

And if I listen to my heart

I'll hear your laughter once more

And so I got to say

I'm just glad you came my way

It's not easy to say

Goodbye



Goodbye

RAY DAVIES lyrics - In A Moment

Sunlight and the city is barely awake

As all the early morning drifters make their way

Headlights in the distance too bright for my eyes

Still I love the dusk, the dawn, between times

They are mine



'Cos you can't tell if it's day or night

Do we see the moon or the sunlight?

Everything around is so transitional

Momentary lapse of rational



Walking past the writing on the wall

Something apocalyptic

Then a momentary lapse of faith

Before I become more optimistic



Like a momentary loss of sight

Fleetingly it went so wrong from right

In a second it can change from night to day

Any second love can turn to hate



Sunlight and the city is barely awake

As all the seconds in our lifetime drift away

So live every moment and hold me so tight

A second changes day to night



I had a momentary loss of sight

Fleetingly it went so wrong from right

In a second you would change your point of view

In my hesitation I lost you



It only takes a moment sometimes

The difference between joy and pain

In a second you can look away

Turn around to find it's all changed



Because you can't tell if it's day or night

Do we see the moon or the sunlight?

Everything around is so transitional

Momentary loss of rational



Like a momentary loss of sight

Fleetingly it went from dark to light

In a second it can change from night to day

But in a moment hope will find the way

THE SEX PISTOLS lyrics - EMI (Orch)

(J. Rotten, G. Matlock, S. Jones, P. Cook)



There's unlimited supply

and there is no reason why

I tell you it was all a frame

they only did it 'cos of fame -

Who? EMI



Too many people had the suss

Too many people support us

An unlimited amount

too many outlets in and out -

Who? EMI



And sir and friends are crucified

a day they wished that we had died

We are an addition

we are ruled by-none

Never ever never



And you thought that we were faking

that we were all just money making

you do not believe we're for real

or you would lose your cheap appeal?



Don't judge a book just by the cover

Unless you cover just another

And blind acceptance is a sign

of stupid fools who stand in line like EMI



Unlimited edition

with an unlimited supply

That was the only reason

we all had to say goodbye



Unlimited supply

EMI there is no reason why

EMI I tell you if was all a frame

EMI they only did it 'cos of fame

EMI I do not need the pressure

EMI I can't stand the useless fools

EMI unlimited supply

EMI Hallo EMl goodbye A & M

GRAND FUNK RAILROAD lyrics - I Just Gotta Know

Hey, people are you ready to get in the streets,

To be your own police?

Are you ready to start tonight,

To stand up and fight for your rights?



CHORUS

Woah... oh, I gotta' know.

I gotta' know.

I gotta' know.

I gotta' know.



Young people would you do the patriotic thing?

Are you ready to stand up and sing,

That you're tired of the war and all that shit?

Oh, tell me, are you ready to do your bit?



CHORUS



You gotta' take a stand,

Give your brother a helping hand.

We got to start today,

So tomorrow our kids can play.

We better do what's right,

So we don't have to fight,

No more.



'Bout the only way I see that we can change the plan,

Is to vote and get our man.

The man whose not afraid,

And one whose not over-paid.



CHORUS



You gotta' take a stand,

Give your brother a helping hand.

We got to start today,

So tomorrow our kids can play.

We better do what's right,

So we don't have to fight,

No more.

TOM WAITS lyrics - Murder In The Red Barn

(Tom Waits/K. Brennan)



There was a murder in the red barn

Murder in the red barn



The trees are bending over

The cows are lying down

The atumn's taking over

You can hear the buckshot hounds

The watchman said to Reba the loon

Was it pale at Manzanita

Or Blind Bob the raccoon?

Pin it on a drifter

They sleep beneath the bridge

One plays the violin

And sleeps inside a fridge

There was a murder in the red barn

A murder in the red barn



Someone's crying in the woods

Someone's burying all his clothes

Now Slam the Crank from Wheezer

Slept outside last night and froze

Road kill has its seasons

Just like anything

It's possums in the autumn

And it's farm cats in the spring

There was a murder in the red barn

A murder in the red barn



Now thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house

Or covet thy neighbor's wife

But for some

Murder is the only door through which they enter life



Now they surrounded the house

They smoke him out

They took him off in chains

The sky turned black and bruised

And we had months of heavy rains

Now the raven's nest in the rotted roof

Of Chenoweth's old place

And no one's asking Cal

About that scar upon his face

'Cause there's nothin' strange

About an axe with bloodstains in the barn



There's always some killin'

You got to do around the farm

A murder in the red barn

Murder in the red barn



Now the woods will never tell

What sleeps beneath the trees

Or what's buried 'neath a rock

Or hiding in the leaves

'Cause road kill has it's seasons

Just like anything

It's possums in the atumn

And it's farm cats in the spring

A murder in the red barn

A murder in the red barn



Now a lady can't do ntohin'

Without folks' tongues waggin'

Is this blood on the tree

Or is it autumn's red blaze

When the ground's soft for diggin'

ANd the rain will bring all this gloom

There's nothing wrong with a lady

Drinking alone in her room

But there was a murder in the red barn

A murder in the red barn

VAN MORRISON lyrics - Hey Mr. DJ

(Van Morrison)



Listen Mr. DJ

Won't you play me something slow

Play me the songs

For the lonely ones

Play me something

That I know



Hey Mr. DJ

I'm in a sad mood tonight

Play me something just for me and my baby

Won't you make everything alright



I'm gonna turn it way down low

Leave it on all night long

Till the morning comes

Like my lover my friend until the end

And that special someone



Hey Mr. DJ

Play me Rainbow 66

'Cos I'm drifting like a ship out on the fog

And I just don't know what's coming next



Gonna turn it way down low

Leave it on all night long

Until the morning comes

For my lover my friend until the end

And that special someone



Hey Mr. DJ

Play me Rainbow 66

'Cos I'm drifting like a ship out on the sea

And I just don't know what's coming next



Well, Mr. DJ

I'm in a sad mood tonight

Play me something for me and my darling

Want you to make everything

Alright



La, ta. ta, ta, tata...

GREG KIHN BAND lyrics - Breakup Song (They Don't Write 'Em)

We had broken up for good

Just an hour before

Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, aaah

And now I'm staring at the bodies

As they're dancing 'cross the floor

Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, aaah

And then the band slowed the tempo

And the music gets you down

Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, aaah

It was the same old song

With a melancholy sound

Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, aaah



They don't write 'em like that anymore

They just don't write 'em like that anymore



We'd been living together for a million years

Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, aaah

But now it feels so strange out of the atmospheres

Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, aaah

And then the jukebox plays a song I used to know

Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, aaah

And now I'm staring at the bodies

As they're dancing so slow

Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, aaah



They don't write 'em like that anymore

They don't write 'em like that anymore



[Instrumental Interlude]



Mmmm, now I wind up staring at an empty glass

Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, aaah

'Cos it's so easy to say

That she'll forget your past

Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, aaah



They don't write 'em like that anymore

No, they just don't write 'em like that anymore

They don't write 'em like that anymore

They just don't write 'em like that anymore

They just don't, no, they don't, no no, uh-uh

They just don't write 'em like that anymore

They just don't

VAN HALEN lyrics - Romeo Delight

I told her "Never in hell, no special reason"

Musta lied 'cause I ain't leavin'

You a desperate woman, need a man with a gun

High crime zone, in the city o' lights

At the 'leventh hour I'm goin' back outside

Ooh, give it a try. I'm your last loose end



Baby please, I can't take it anymore

MARK KNOPFLER lyrics - Right Now

Miles between us here we are

Sat by side a stranded car

Right now, baby right now

And it's too dark to see

Anyhow so where are we

Right now, baby, right now

You could say we've both come down

To a place called lonesome town

When did you loose a hold on me

Anyhow and where are we

Right now, oh, baby right now



We stood up and said 'I do'

Vowed to see each other through

Right now, baby right now

I'm looking down this road tonight

And i don't see a light

Right now, baby right now

If we're so clever tell me how

Were waiting for the wrecker now

Let's forget what used to be

Anyhow and where are we

Right now, oh baby right now

VONDA SHEPARD lyrics - Dreamin'

(David James and Lana Williams)



I sit and wonder

How my life would be

If you were here with me

What a beautiful fantasy

Early in the morning

I find myself with tears in my eyes

From a dream that you're featured in

And it hurts deep inside

To know that you won't let me in to your life

And I wonder why

I'm going crazy

I keep thinking about your foolish smile

Here I go I just can't stop



Dreamin'

Dreamin'

All the time

I'm dreamin' of all the joy we could have baby

Dreamin'

Dreamin'

For your heart

I'm dreamin' of all the love that we could share



It's my decision

To leave you now

Just because it hurts too much

Knowing you'll never give enough

But how I long to

Experience the magic of your touch again

Now you're always on my mind

I just can't stop



Dreamin'

Dreamin'

All the time

I'm dreamin' of all the time we could have baby

Dreamin'

Dreamin'

For your heart

I'm dreamin' of all the love that we could share



I think of the time we had

You're making me want you so bad

I'm watching you walk away

But I wish I could make you stay

The only thing that I can do

Is baby, baby to dream of you

I wake up in the morning thinking 'bout you baby

All the time and the time that we could be together yeah

OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN lyrics - Goodbye Again

(John Denver)



It's five o'clock this morning and the sun is on the rise

There's frosting on the window pane and sorrow in your eyes

The stars are fading quietly, the night is nearly gone

You slowly turn away from me and tears begin to come



And it's

Goodbye again, I'm sorry to be leaving you

Goodbye again, 'cause if you didn't know

It's goodbye again, and I wish you could tell me

Why do we always fight when I have to go?



It seems a shame to leave you now, the days are soft and warm

I long to lay me down again and hold you in my arms

I long to kiss the tears away and give you back your smile

But other voices beckon me and for a little while



It's

Goodbye again, I'm sorry to be leaving you

Goodbye again, 'cause if you didn't know

It's goodbye again, and I wish you could tell me

Why do we always fight when I have to go?



I have to go and see some friends of mine, and some that I don't know

And some who aren't familiar with my name

It's something that's inside of me, not hard to understand

It's anyone who will listen to me sing



But if your arms are empty now, then who am I to blame

You think if I was always here our love would be the same

But as it is, the time we have is worth the time alone

And lying by your side, the greatest peace I've ever known



But it's

Goodbye again, I'm sorry to be leaving you

Goodbye again, 'cause if you didn't know

It's goodbye again, and I wish you could tell me

Why do we always fight when I have to go?

J. J. CALE lyrics - Long Way Home

(J. J. Cale)



Early in the morning, about a quarter to four

Me and my girlfriend walkin' out the door

We're heading for the car and we got right in

And that's when I noticed the shape she was in

She turned to me and said right out

Let's steer it awhile, let's steer it about

Take the long way home, take the long way home

Make this night last

Well we drove down town and up in the woods

We drove around and around till I understood

I was holding the wheel, she was making out

And all this time I was driving about

She was fondling my hair and hugging my neck

And all I was thinking was, oh what the heck

Take the long way home, take the long way home

Make this night last

I was looking in the mirror and to my surprise

There was two big red lights shining in my eyes

I pull over and he drove alongside

And out of his car and up to my right

He looked at her and she looked at him

And the next thing I noticed he got right in

Take the long way home, take the long way home

Make this night last

Take the long way home, take the long way home

Take the long way home, take the long way home

Make this night last

BAD COMPANY lyrics - Fame And Fortune

Sittin' in the back of a limousine, feelin' just like a king

All the girls come runnin' to you, you're the latest thing

Sittin' up there at the top of the charts, lookin' like Mr. Cool

You take all the money, steal their hearts, they'll come runnin' to you



Your fame and your fortune, look what it brought you

All your fame and your fortune, you better take a look around

With your fame and your fortune, careful who you talk to

Or the fame and your fortune, watch it all tumble down, yeah, oh listen now



Now you're lookin' for inspiration, somethin' to say

When you find that it don't come easy, you find them running away

You had it all in the palm of your hand, and let it slip away

You made it big, ooh so big, and then you threw it all away



All your fame and your fortune, look what it brought you

Fame and your fortune, hey you better take another look

At your fame and your fortune, it set you up, then it caught you

Fame and your fortune, surely gonna let you down, hey tell me now



(Solo)



All your fame and your fortune, look what it brought you

Take your fame and your fortune, wait and take a look around

For your fame and your fortune, who do you talk to

'Bout your fame and your fortune, as it all comes tumbling down



Fame and your fortune, fame and your fortune, yes all come tumbling down

Fame and your fortune, fame and your fortune, all comes tumbling down...

CAT STEVENS lyrics - I Love Them All

While lookin' into my drawer only yesterday

you know, the things that I saw made me cry

I saw the pictures and letters,

I should have known better

than to try to deny



I love them all

I love them all

and if they came again

I'd do the same again

'cause I'm that kind of a guy



And as I walked through the park where we used to play

you know, the bench and the tree are still there

And the pictures that you did,

why am I so stupid?

They wont ever disappear



I love them all

I love them all

and if they came again

I'd do the same again

'cause I'm that kind of a guy

JOURNEY lyrics - Good Morning Girl

(Perry/Mathew Schon)



Good morning girl, how you been?

Good morning girl, is love within?

I see your face every where.

I see your smile your golden hair.

I see your eyes shinin' through.

Those gentle eyes silver blue.



Good morning girl, how you been?

Good morning girl, is love within?

Good morning girl, it's been long.

Good morning girl, to you this song.



I sing it girl from the heart.

I'll sing it girl from the start.

Good morning girl, how you been?

Good morning girl is love within?

RICHARD THOMPSON lyrics - Missie How You Let Me Down

(Richard Thompson)



Hailstones and a sickle moon and the north wind races

One more night of running my mind over lost embraces

The steps you made when you walked away

Still frozen in the ground

Oh missie how you let me down

Oh missie how you let me down

Oh missie how you let me down

And lies won't break my fall

Lies won't break my fall



Your food's still sitting there at the table where you used to be

The shape of you is still in the bed there next to me

Maybe I could find some trace of you to keep around

Oh missie how you let me down

Oh missie how you let me down



For far too long you kept me waiting

Reaching out into empty air

Even now you'd never say it face to face

That you really don't care

And if you never liked pulling teeth

Then why, why did you tie me in the dentist's chair



Ah you left your mark on this old place, that you did

I could stew in here like a pressure cooker and screw down the lid

Or maybe I should just take a match

And burn the whole thing to the ground



Oh missie how you let me down

Oh missie how you let me down

Oh missie how you let me down



Oh missie how you let me down

Oh missie how you let me down

Oh missie how you let me down

And lies won't break my fall

Lies won't break my fall

SWEET lyrics - Dorian Gray

Why all those younger guys

Falling for you in the looks disguise

Making you feel like you're thirty

And just being dirty

Your thick brown hair



Who was that millionaire

Showing you his piles of golden hair

He was so rich but uneasy

Trying to tease me

But I don't care



Painting your face

Finding the pace of life

Beatiful past under the mask

You wear



You're a movie star

Who's caught in a dream

The silver stream

You know what I mean



How can you sleep at night

Knowing that secrets, secrets, secrets

Secrets you locked up tight

Off your shoulder it's good being older

Without a care



Painting your face

Finding the pace of life

Beatiful past under the mask

You wear

GRATEFUL DEAD lyrics - Estimated Prophet

My time coming, anyday, don't worry about me, no

Been so long I felt this way, I'm in no hurry, no

Rainbows and down that highway where ocean breezes blow

My time coming, voices saying they tell me where to go.



Don't worry about me, nah nah nah, don't worry about me, no

and I'm in no hurry, nah nah nah, I know where to go.



California, preaching on the burning shore

California, I'll be knocking on the golden door

Like an angel, standing in a shaft of light

Rising up to paradise, I know I'm gonna shine.



My time coming, anyday, don't worry about me, no

It's gonna be just like they say, them voices tell me so

Seems so long I felt this way and time sure passin' slow

Still I know I lead the way, they tell me where I go.



Don't worry about me, no no no, don't worry about me, no

and I'm in no hurry, no no no, I know where to go.



California, a prophet on the burning shore

California, I'll be knocking on the golden door

Like an angel, standing in a shaft of light

Rising up to paradise, I know I'm gonna shine.



You've all been asleep, you would not believe me

Them voices tellin' me, you will soon receive me

Standin' on the beach, the sea will part before me

Fire wheel burning in the air!



You will follow me and we will ride to glory, way up, the middle of

the air!



And I'll call down thunder and speak the same and my work fills the

sky with flame

and might and glory gonna be my name and men gonna light my way.



My time coming, anyday, don't worry about me, no

It's gonna be just like they say, them voices tell me so

Seems so long I felt this way and time sure passin' slow

My time coming, anyday, don't worry about me, no



Don't worry about me, no no no, don't worry about me, no

and I'm in no hurry, no no no, don't worry about me, no.

AL GREEN lyrics - I'm Still In Love With You

Spending my day thinkin' 'bout you girl

Being here with you, being near with you

I can't explain myself

Why I feel like I do

Though it hurts me so to let you know that I

look in your eyes to let me know

How you feel

Let me know that love is really real

And it seems to me

that I'm wrapped up in your love



Don't you know that I'm

(Still in love, in love with you)

Sho' 'nuff in love with you, hey



And I look in your eyes

And all the years I see

Me lovin' you and you lovin' me

Well it seems to me

that I'm wrapped up in your love



Don't you know that I'm

(Still in love, in love with you)

Sho' 'nuff in love with you



Hey, ah-ha, ah, ah, ah, ah

Hey, ah-ha

Don't you know that I'm



(Still in love, in love with you)

Sho' 'nuff in love with you

Say I try it if you want me to

Ah-ha, ah-ha, aah, ah, ah, ah

HARRY CONNICK, JR. lyrics - Goodnight My Love (Pleasant Dreams)

Goodnight, my love

Pleasant dreams and sleep tight, my love

May tomorrow be sunny and bright

And bring you closer to me



Before you go

Please remember I need you so

And this love I have for me

Will never go cold



If you should awake in the still of the night

Please have no fear

Just close your eyes

Then you realize

That my love will watch over you, dear, always



Goodnight, my love

Pleasant dreams and sleep tight, my love

May tomorrow be sunny and bright

And bring you closer to me



If you should awake in the still of the night

Please have no fear

Just close your eyes

Then you realize

That my love will watch over you, dear, always



Goodnight, my love

Pleasant dreams and sleep tight, my love

May tomorrow be sunny and bright

And bring you closer to me

MOTT THE HOOPLE lyrics - Crash Street Kidds

(Ian Hunter)



See my thoughts - and see my scars - see my clothes - I dress to kill

See my blood - and see my gun.



The crash street kidds are comin' to get ya

(better run, better run, better run)

The crash street kidds are comin' to get ya

(you'll get done, you'll get done, you'll get done)



Heed my faults - and heed my curse - heed my frustration - you just don't

Know

A new town nothing - send for the hearse.



The crash street kidds are comin' to get ya

(better run, better run, better run)

The crash street kidds are comin' to get ya

(just for fun, just for fun, just for fun)



Pull down the wires, set you on fire - I'm getting too tired to resist,

We'll torture your flats, you keep us like rats - then you

Tell 'em we're brats and the press twist our fist - get me out of this mist.



Hear me swear - hear every word - I ain't just a number

I wanna be heard - the tv announcer he talks to the scum



The crash street kidds are comin' to get ya

(better run, better run, better run)

The crash street kidds are comin' to get ya

(prick your thumb, prick your thumb, prick your thumb)



I ain't been solved, I'm uninvolved - I've been annulled

And I can't seem to prove it.

You're so pure - you know the cures - just keep us poor

The juvenile delinquent bit



The crash street kidds are comin' to get ya

(better run, better run, better run)

The crash street kidds are comin' to get ya

(one's your son, one's your son, one's your son)

The crash street kidds are comin' to get ya

(better hide, better hide, better hide)

The crash street kidds are comin' to get ya

(take a ride, take a ride, take a ride)

The crash street kidds are comin' to get ya

(you're too late, you're too late, you're too late)

The crash street kidds are comin' to get ya

(where's your mates? Where's your mates? Where's your mates?)

The crash street kidds are comin' to get ya

(you're exposed, you're exposed, you're exposed)

The crash street kidds are comin' to get ya

(now you're closed, now you're closed, now you're closed)

The crash street kidds are comin' to get ya

(now you're dead, now you're dead, now you're dead

Now you're dead, now you're dead, now you're dead

Now you're dead, now you're dead, now you're dead

Now you're dead, now you're dead, now you're dead

Now you're dead, now you're dead, now you're dead

Now you're dead, now you're dead, now you're dead

Now you're dead, now you're dead, now you're dead ahhhhhhhhhhh)
