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
You can all go to hell
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
I flunked, I didn't pass
I'm gonna brag about it
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
You lay your homework was the rule
And just thinkin' 'bout the music
Puts you in a trance
You never have to worry
If you save your lunch money
So you'll have the chance
To get your ticket in a hurry
For the high school dance
Dance to the beat of the band
Were gonna dance at the high school dance
Boogie to the beat of the band, Oow
Boogie to the high school dance
Dance to the beat of the band
Were gonna dance at the high school dance
Boogie to the beat of the band, Oow
Boogie to the high school dance
It only costs a dollar
To dance to the music
With the one you love best, uh-huh
It makes you wanna holler, Oow
The music sounds good
You just don't want to rest
And then they turn the lights down
So you can slow dance
Or sneek a little romance
All the baddest sit around
Talkin' 'bout the high school dance
Dance to the beat of the band
Were gonna dance at the high school dance
Boogie to the beat of the band, Oow
Boogie to the high school dance
Dance to the beat of the band
Were gonna dance at the high school dance
Boogie to the beat of the band, Oow
Boogie to the high school dance
Dance at the high school dance
It only costs a dollar
To dance to the music
With the one you love best, yeah
It makes you wanna holler, Oow
The music sounds good
You just don't want to rest, yeah
And then they turn the lights down
So you can slow dance
Or sneek a little romance, yeah yeah

Talkin' 'bout the high school dance
Dance to the beat of the band
Were gonna dance at the high school dance
Boogie to the beat of the band, Oow

Were gonna dance at the high school dance
Boogie to the beat of the band, Oow
Boogie to the high school dance
Dance at the high school dance
Oow, dance at 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

And I'm lookin' for somebody to squeeze. Uh! Uh!

Baby, don't get uptight

Wanna see my ID? Try to clip my wings
Don't have to show you proof o' anything

At the 'leventh hour I'm goin' back outside
Ooh, give it a try. I'm your last loose end

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)
