ZUCCHERO lyrics - Suona Il Corno
Suona il corno, dai
suonalo per me
e stagione ormai
di andarmene un po' cosi.
Senza piu ali
Senza la tua luce
Come un cielo che
Stelle piu non ha.
Ero il sogno di un soldato
Ero liberta
E moriro per te
Portami via o lasciami cosi
Suona il corno dai,
Tanto fa lo stesso,
non c'e piu strada ormai
che porti fino a te.
Il buio mi assale
Mi porta via e in alto se ne va
L'anima mia che sale
Lasciami qui.
Ma da lontano
Oltre le montagne
Una voce dice ricordati chi sei
Sei un soldato che non sara mai schiavo
Non ti arrendere
Ricordati chi sei.
Yeah
Sei un guerriero
che combatte per la vita
Per la liberta.
Yeah
Per la liberta
DIANNE REEVES lyrics - Christmas Time Is Here
Christmas time is here
Happiness and cheer
Fun for all that children call
Their favorite time of the year
Snowflakes in the air
Carols everywhere
Olden times and ancient rhymes
Of love and dreams to share
Sleigh bells in the air
Beauty everywhere
Yuletide by the fireside
And joyful memories there
Christmas time is here
We'll be drawing near
Oh that we could always see
Such spirit through the year
Sleigh bells in the air
Beauty everywhere
Yuletide by the fireside
And joyful memories there
Christmas time is here
We'll be drawing near
Oh that we could always see
Such spirit through the year
Christmas time is here
ROD STEWART lyrics - My Heart Can't Tell Me No
(Simon Climie/Dennis Morgan)
I don't want you
to come round here no more
I beg you for mercy
You don't know how strong
my weakness is
Or how much it hurts me
Cause when you said it over with him
I want to believe it's true
So I let you in knowing tomorrow
I'm gonna wake up missing you
wake up missing you
When the one you love's
in love with someone else
Don't you know it's torture
I mean it's a living hell
No matter how I try to convince myself
this time I won't lose control
One look in your blue eyes
And suddenly my heart can't tell you no
I don't want you
To call me up no more
Saying you need me
You're crazy if you think
just half your love
could ever please me
Still I want to hold you, touch you
when you look at me that way
There's only one solution I know
You gotta stay away from me
Stay away from me
When the one you love's
in love with someone else
Don't you know it's torture
I mean it's a living hell
No matter how I try to convince myself
this time I won't lose control
One look in your sad eyes
And suddenly my heart can't tell you no
My Heart can't tell you no
I don't want you
to come round here no more
I beg you for mercy
You don't know how strong
my weakness is
Or how much it hurts me
Cause when you say its over with him
I want to believe it's true
So I let you in knowing tomorrow
I'm gonna wake up missing you
Wake up missing you
When the one you love's
in love with someone else
Don't you know it's torture
I mean it's a living hell, a living hell
When the one you love's
in love with someone else
Don't you know it's torture
I mean it's a living hell, a living hell
AEROSMITH lyrics - Jesus Is On The Main Line
(Mississippi Fred McDowell)
Jesus is on that mainline... tell him what you want
Jesus is on that mainline... tell him what you want
Jesus is on that mainline... tell him what you want
You gotta call him up and tell him what you want
Oh... the line ain't never busy... tell him what you want
Oh... the line ain't never busy... tell him what you want
The line ain't never busy... tell him what you want
Call him up... and tell him what you want
Now... if you're feeling down and out... tell him what you want
If you're feeling down and out... tell him what you want
If you're feeling down and out... tell him what you want
Call him up and tell him what you want
If you're sick and you want to get well... tell him what you want
If you're sick and you want to get well... tell him what you want
If you're sick and you want to get well... tell him what you want
You gotta call him up and tell him what you want
If your soul's in danger... tell him what you want
If your soul's in danger... tell him what you want
If your soul's in danger... tell him what you want
Call him up and tell him what you want
Jesus is on that mainline... tell him what you want
Jesus is on that mainline... tell him what you want
Jesus is on that mainline... tell him what you want
You gotta call him up and tell him what you want
OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN lyrics - I Love You Crazy
(Brooke McClymont, Robert Parde, Steve Werfel)
Watching the shadow dance
Reflected in your eyes
Open up and take a chance - talk to me
Don't hold everything inside
And if you want me say
Hold me now - hold me now
And it's ok to say - please hold me now
Lay your head down in my arms
Whispering my name
Go ahead and fall asleep
Dream the night away
I love you right - I love you wrong
I love you weak - I love you strong
I love you crazy everyday and all night long
I share your joy - I'll ease your pain
I'll take your sunshine and your rain
Oh my baby - I love you crazy
My hands are innocent - my arms are open wide
There's nothing to fight against
I'll help you thru the stone cold night
And if you feel afraid - reach for me - reach for me now
'Cos I can't stand the wait - reach for me now
I'll be here when you awake
Whispering your name
Here's a promise I will make
My love will never change
I love you right - I love you wrong
I love you weak - I love you strong
I love you crazy everyday and all night long
I share your joy - I'll ease your pain
I'll take your sunshine and your rain
Oh my baby
I love you crazy high and crazy low
More than you will ever know
I will love you crazy all my life
I love you right
I love wrong
I love you weak
I love you strong
I love you right - I love you wrong
I love you weak - I love you strong
I love you crazy everyday and all night long
I share your joy - I'll ease your pain
I'll take your sunshine and your rain
Oh my baby - I love you crazy
BABYFACE lyrics - Simple Days
I was born on the north side of a Midwestern town
There were nine of us living in a three bedroom house
Didn't have much money
But we made due
'Cause Momma worked all day long
And Daddy did too
Did all they could
Made sure we had clothes and food
Went to public schools and we
Followed public rules
We used second hand books, but oh
I didn't mind the books
Momma taught us early in life
Everybody's gotta struggle sometime
Bring back those simple times of yesterday
When a man was a man
And a friend was a friend
Bring back those simple times of yesterday
When you said what you meant
And you meant what you said
Had a friend named Bobby
Who always kept his word
We went through schoolyard fights
Had a thing for pretty girls
Didn't cost much money to
See the picture show
So we hopped the bus into town
That's where all the girlies used to go
Fifty cents would buy us popcorn for two
'Cause Bobby's girl, she worked there
And sometimes she'd break the rules
Picnics in the summer
Wouldn't wake up 'till noon
And even though Bobby's gone now
I can still hear him laugh
In the middle of June
[HOOK]
Sometimes I sit, I wonder
I reminisce, I think of all the good times
That we had in our lives
Sometimes I can't get over
How wonderful those days were
Back in our lives
Simple days for simple times
[HOOK]
WEIRD AL YANKOVIC lyrics - Here's Johnny
There he goes, he drives me crazy
When he says "Here's Johnny"
That's his job, it's so amazing
All he says is "Here's Johnny"
I never miss a moment when he's on the tube
His being there has made my life worth living
The chills run down my spine
Each time he says that line
"Here's Johnny" He says, and laughs in his special way
"Johnny" he says, you know I love him
"Here's Johnny" he says and second fiddle is his game
Ed McMahon's his name, all right
Woah, oh yeah
Dressed so fine, he's such a cool dude
Hear him say "Here's Johnny"
Watch him selling beer and dog food
Hear him say "Here's Johnny"
I got a letter from him just the other day
He said "You may already be a winner"
A trooper to the end
A Clydesdale's best friend
"Here's Johnny" he says and laughs in his special way
"Johnny" he says, you know I love him
"Here's Johnny" he says and that's the way he gets his pay
What a living
Oh "Here's Johnny, Here's Johnny" Woah no
"Here's Johnny, Here's Johnny" No no, no no no no I don't believe it
"Here's Johnny" he says and everytime it's just the same
Ed McMahon's his name
(Special guy) A very special guy, all right
(He's on) He's on every night
(Every night) Can't change the channel
When he's sitting on the panel
"Here's Johnny"
There he goes, he gives me goose bumps
When he says "Hey-Oh, Hey-Hey-Oh"
"Here's Johnny" he says and laughs in his special way
"Johnny" he says, you know I love him
"Here's Johnny" he says, that seems to be his claim to fame
Ed McMahon's his name
"Here's Johnny"
"Here's Johnny"
"Here's Johnny" (laughing)
"Here's Johnny"
"Here's Johnny" (laughing)
"Here's Johnny" (laughing)
"Here's Johnny" (laughing)
"Here's Johnny"
"Here's Johnny" (laughing)
"Here's"
"Here's Johnny"
THE TEMPTATIONS lyrics - Smiling Faces Sometimes
Smiling faces sometimes pretend to be your friend
Smiling faces show no traces of the evil that lurks within
Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes
They don't tell the truth uh
Smiling faces, smiling faces
Tell lies and I got proof
The truth is in the eyes
Cause the eyes don't lie, amen
Remember a smile is just
A frown turned upside down
My friend let me tell you
Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes
They don't tell the truth, uh
Smiling faces, smiling faces
Tell lies and I got proof
Beware, beware of the handshake
That hides the snake
I'm telling you beware
Beware of the pat on the back
It just might hold you back
Jealousy (jealousy)
Misery (misery)
Envy I tell you, you can't see behind smiling faces
Smiling faces sometimes they don't tell the truth
Smiling faces, smiling faces
Tell lies and I got proof
Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes
They don't tell the truth
Smiling faces, smiling faces
Tell lies and I got proof
(Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes)
(Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes)
I'm telling you beware, beware of the handshake
That hides the snake
Listen to me now, beware
Beware of that pat on the back
It just might hold you back
Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes
They don't tell the truth
Smiling faces, smiling faces
Tell lies and I got proof
Your enemy won't do you no harm
Cause you'll know where he's coming from
Don't let the handshake and the smile fool ya
Take my advice I'm only try' to school ya

CARL WILSON lyrics - They're Only Words
(Carl Wilson/Phil Galdston)
The promises I made When I was young, unafraid
I hurt so many hearts
And even my own could not escape
It comes to me now
I've seen (oh yeah), I've heard (I've heard)
And now I've finally learned
They're only words
They're only words
I've learned
I've pledged
I've burned
I've burned
And now the world has turned
They're only words
They're only words
Unless they're true
And when I took your hand
I thought we found wonderland
I wanted to be brave, oh I changed the world
But it's me who changed
It comes to me now
I've seen (oh yeah), I've heard (I've heard)
And now I've finally learned
They're only words
They're only words
I've learned
I've pledged
I've burned
I've burned
And now the world has turned
They're only words
They're only words
Unless they're true
They're only words (they're only words)
Unless they're true (unless they're true)
All these words
Show me once again
That lonely ends where love begins
You don't have to speak
Cos' its your eyes that I believe
I do believe
I've seen, I've heard (I've heard)
And now I've finally learned
They're only words
They're only words
I've learned
I've pledged
I've burned
And now
And now the world has turned
World has turned
They're only words
I've seen (oh yeah), I've heard (I've heard)
And now I've finally learned (I've learned)
They're only words
Unless they're true
DIANNE REEVES lyrics - A Child Is Born
Now out of the night
New as the dawn into the light
Oh this child, innocent child,
Soft as a fawn
This child is born
One small heart
One pair of eyes
One work of art
Here in my arms
Here he lies
Trusting and warm
Blessed this bond
A child is born
Now out of the night
New as the dawn into the light
Oh this child, innocent child,
Soft as a fawn
This child is born
One small heart
One pair of eyes
One work of art
Here in my arms
Here he lies
Trusting and warm
Blessed this bond
A child is born

It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll

It's a long way, such a long way
COWBOY JUNKIES lyrics - Crossroads
I went to the crossroads
Fell down on my knee
I asked the Lord above me for mercy
"Save Bob, if you please"
Standing, standing on the crossroad
Yeah, I try to flag a ride
Don't nobody seem to know me
Just everybody passing me by
I went down to the crossroads
Fell down on my knee
I asked the Lord above me for mercy
"Save Bob, if you please"
Standing, standing on the crossroad
I try to flag a ride
Don't nobody seem to know me
Just everybody passing me by
I'm standing on the crossroad, baby
Yeah, I think I'm sinking down
Sinking, sinking down

Wondering how come nobody told me
All that I was looking for was somebody
Who looked like you

Oh yeah, oh yeah
I've got a feeling, I think that everybody knows
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

TOMMY BOLIN lyrics - Wild Dogs (Early Demo)
(Tommy Bolin & John Tesar)
Baggage Handcuffed to my Wrist,
I drag it everywhere I Go
Sometimes I fight it with My Fists,
If I knew which Way Was Home
That's Where I'd Go,
If I knew Which Way Was Home
Porter Come and Cut Me Loose,
Bring me Whiskey and My Water
Sometimes I get the Blues,
But I know I shouldn't oughta
That's Where I'd Go,
If I knew which Way Was Home
Run Down Ghost Trail, No
Chance For Love, No Sign Of
Life
- Just Wild Dogs - Howlin'
In the Night
Hey Porter Come and Cut Me Free,
I'm sick of My Own Company
Sometimes I miss the Gold,
Most Times I miss my Home
That's Where I'd Go,
If I Knew Which Way Was Home
Run Down Ghost Trail, No Chance For Love, No Sign Of Life
- Just Wild Dogs - Howlin' in the Night
(That's what I like...)
Hear 'em Howl!
FRANK ZAPPA lyrics - The Poodle Lecture
In the beginning GOD made 'the light.' Shortly thereafter GOD made the poodle-as you can see by this model that we have in front of us. When GOD made the poodle initially it was a very handsome sort of a dog-it had HAIR, HAIR, HAIR, evenly distributed all over its charming canine poodle-shape body.
Shortly after the construction of the poodle itself, GOD made TWO big mistakes. The first one was called MAN, and the second one was called WO-MAN. WO-MAN looketh upon the poodle and saith unto herself, "This poodle, with hair evenly distributed all over its body, is of no use to me for it is not SLICK, it is not STREAMLINE, it is not FASHIONABLE, and in many instances it is REPULSIVE because of the brown things attached to the hair on the rear part of the dog, and I must have this dog modified," so he turneth onto MAN, and saith unto MAN, "SUCKER, GO GET A JOB!" And MAN, being the chump that he was, wenteth out and wenteth forth and lefteth the cave, and went into the world itself and gotteth a job.
Whereupon he returneth to the cave with his MONEY, and the WO-MAN looketh upon the money and said, "SUCKER! Take this money and go buy me a pair of scissors, whereby I may clippeth upon this poodle and modify it to my own personal taste and secret moist innermost DESIRES." And the MAN, being the chump that he was, went out and bought her the poodle clipping shears and broughth 'em back to the WO-MAN and handeth the shears to the WO-MAN, whereupon she GRABBETH the poodle thusly. . . and with a DEFT, SWIFT, DENSE ECUMENICAL PATINA (Talk about it!) of STROKE (Talk about it!), she clippeth upon the poodle, near the FETLOCK, all across the THORAX, in the MEDULA, and. . . right near the cappuciano o'er here, and streamlined that sucker until it looked just like this, with little feet sticking out and a little ball on the end, making the dags very easy to remove, and she putteth the poodle in a quasi erotic sort of a position, near where she was sprawled out on the cave. . . stucketh her leggeths up unto the air, "Buf," like this, exposing to the poodle the central core of her desire, and looked deep into the poodle's eyes and said these piquant little words that we shall not soon forget:
BLUE OYSTER CULT lyrics - Good To Feel Hungry
(John Shirley, Danny Miranda, Eric Bloom, and Donald Roeser)
It's good to feel hungry when you're about to eat well
It's good to be angry when you're ready to yell
It's good to be angry
It's good to feel certain even when you're not right
Sweep back the curtain and let in some light
If there is any light
She calls me, she summons me with a purr
And no amount of cryin' will set me free from her
And only deep feeling, finding my way into feeling
Only just being, will free me from her
Sometimes I flirt with despair, as if she were a lady
A pale and black-haired lady
A cool and bloodless lady, yeah
Good to feel, good to feel it's good to feel damn good to feel
Good to feel, it's good to feel, it's good to feel damn good to feel
It's good to feel, it's good to feel, it's good to feel damn good to feel
It's good to feel, it's good to feel, it's good to feel damn good to feel
Damn good to feel
Damn good to feel
Damn good to feel
ELOY lyrics - Sensations
A latent haze surrounding me
is spreading out sensations.
Silent faces stare with stale eyes
mechanized and sad, so sterilized.
Let the rays of the gentle sun reach me
penetrating deep, melting all taboos
and my soul cries out: free me!
Bring me to the light
Understand my plight
Dissipate my fear
Take me out of here
Nature's womb is still, her furtive love
evades me still no chance to reach
Loneliness prevails, a vacuum forms
isolation steers a barren mind
In this atmosphere movements petrify
From my deepest self
uncontrolled and wild
and driving force compels my cry:
Bring me to the light
Understand my plight
Dissipate my fear
Take me out of here
New dimensions in sight
bring sensations to life
and unveils what's been in secrecy
Solitary am I
but at least I am me!
Bring me to the light
Understand my plight
Dissipate my fear
Take me out of here
(repeat)

HELLOWEEN lyrics - Mr. Torture
Welcome to the torture chamber
Said the sign above the entrance
Laughing as he taked you by the hand
Looking like a maniac savage
Inside you can sense the anguish
Theatre of pain has just begun
Mr. Torture gives pain
With his whips and his chains
He knows just what you crave
Mr. Torture
If you're feeling alone
Then just pick up your phone
Dial 18 double 0
Mr. Torture
Mr. Torture sells pain
Only sixty cents a minute
For his special brand of sinning
Phone guaranteed to blow your mind
You can catch him on the website
Has a live chat every weeknight
Cyber-torture soon coming your way
Mr. Torture sells pain
To the housewives in Spain
He knows just what they crave
Mr. Torture
If you're feeling alone
Then just pick up your phone
Dial 18 double 0
Mr. Torture
Mr. Torture sells pain
Handcuffed, bound, chained, and blinded
Body, soul, and mind ignited
Every sense is torn and ripped apart
He's been banned in twenty countries
Though he does it for money
He gets pleasure from hearing you scream
Mr. Torture gives pain
With his whips and his chains
He knows just what you crave
Mr. Torture
If you're feeling alone
Then just pick up your phone
Dial 18 double 0
Mr. Torture
Mr. Torture
Mr. Torture sells pain
ABBA lyrics - The Winner Takes It All
I don't wanna talk
about the things we've gone through
though it's hurting me
now it's history
I've played all my cards
and that's what you've done too
nothing more to say
no more ace to play
The winner takes it all
the loser standing small
beside the victory
that's her destiny
I was in your arms
thinking I belonged there
I figured it made sense
building me a fence
building me a home
thinking I'd be strong there
but I was a fool
playing by the rules
The gods may throw a dice
their minds as cold as ice
and someone way down here
loses someone dear
the winner takes it all
the loser has to fall
it's simple and it's plain
why should I complain
But tell me does she kiss
like I used to kiss you
does it feel the same
when she calls your name
somewhere deep inside
you must know I miss you
but what can I say
rules must be obeyed
The judges will decide
the likes of me abide
spectators of the show
always staying low
the game is on again
a lover or a friend
a big thing or a small
the winner takes it all
I don't wanna talk
if it makes you feel sad
and I understand
you've come to shake my hand
I apologize
if it makes you feel bad
seeing me so tense
no self-confidence
But you see
the winner takes it all

REBA MCENTIRE lyrics - Don't You Believe Him
(N. Stuckey)
He can give you a reason to live if he wants to
He can make you forget other loves that you had known
He has two lips and two arms that thrill you as very few do
And if you want him to give them to you just ask and he will
Don't you believe him
I did and soon he'll be leaving me
No don't believe him if you do
Then soon he'll be leaving you too
He can tell you a lie you believe if he has to
And you'll trust me till time and the tide both stand still
He can cry on your shoulder and swear to the things that he won't do
But be careful for when you're not looking he will
Don't you believe him
I did and soon he'll be leaving me
No don't believe him if you do
Then soon he'll be leaving you too

JOE COCKER lyrics - Catfish
(Dylan/Levy)
Lazy stadium night
Catfish on the mound.
"Strike three," the umpire said,
Batter have to go back and sit down.
Catfish, million-dollar-man,
Nobody can throw the ball like Catfish can.
Used to work on Mr. Finley's farm
But the old man wouldn't pay
So he packed his glove and took his arm
An' one day he just ran away.
Catfish, million-dollar-man,
Nobody can throw the ball like Catfish can.
Come up where the Yankees are,
Dress up in a pinstripe suit,
Smoke a custom-made cigar,
Wear an alligator boot.
Catfish, million-dollar-man,
Nobody can throw the ball like Catfish can.
Carolina born and bred,
Love to hunt the little quail.
Got a hundred-acre spread,
Got some huntin' dogs for sale.
Catfish, million-dollar-man,
Nobody can throw the ball like Catfish can.
Reggie Jackson at the plate
Seein' nothin' but the curve,
Swing too early or too late
Got to eat what Catfish serve.
Catfish, million-dollar-man,
Nobody can throw the ball like Catfish can.
Even Billy Martin grins
When the Fish is in the game.
Every season twenty wins
Gonna make the Hall of Fame.
Catfish, million-dollar-man,
Nobody can throw the ball like Catfish can.
CROSBY, STILLS, NASH & YOUNG lyrics - On The Way Home
When the dream came
I held my breath
With my eyes closed
I went insane,
Like a smoke ring day
When the wind blows
Now I won't be back
Till later on
If I do come back at all
But you know me,
And I miss you now.
In a strange game
I saw myself as you knew me
When the change came,
And you had a
Chance to see through me
Though the other side
Is just the same
You can tell
My dream is real
Because I love you,
Can you see me now.
Though we rush ahead
To save our time
We are only what we feel
And I love you,
Can you feel it now.
THE CURE lyrics - Bird Mad Girl
This girl has got a smile
That can make me cry
This girl just burns with love
She's burning burning deep outside
Night time night time
Sets my house on fire
I'll turn into the melting man
I'll lose my life
To feel I feel desire
Oh I should feel
Like a polar bear...
It's impossible
She flies outside this cage
Singing girlmad words
I keep her dark thoughts deep inside
As black as stone
And mad as birds
Wild wild wild
And never turn away
Sends me all her love
She sends me everything
She sends me everywhere
Oh I could be
A polar bear...
It's impossible
I try to talk
The sky goes red
I forget
So fill my head
With some of this
Some of that
Some of every word she said
Oh I should be
A polar bear...
But it's impossible
B. B. KING lyrics - Makin' Love Is Good For You
(Tony Joe White)
Makin' love is good for you
Makin' love is good for you
Makin' love is good for you
Makin' love is good for you
So take care of your body
Make a little love today
Ain't nobody can live forever
It's just something that we all understand
But while you're young, y'all
We can make it better
If we take care of our bodies while we can
'Cause makin' love is good for you
Makin' love is good for you
So take care of your body
Make a little love today
Man and woman get together
Play the game and swear they're havin' fun
But if we make a little love
From the very start
What a lovely way to getto know someone
So makin' love is good for you
Makin' love is good for you
So take care of your body
Make a little love today
Let the wise man think about it
I'll just put my thinkin' all on the shelf
But if the good Lord made something
Better than love
I swear he must've kept it there for myself
Hey, makin' love is good for you
Makin' love is good for you
So take care of your body
Make a little love today

RANDY NEWMAN lyrics - You Can Leave Your Hat On
Baby, take off your coat...(real slow)
Baby, take off your shoes...(here, I'll take your shoes)
Baby, take off your dress
Yes, yes, yes
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on
Go on over there and turn on the light...no, all the lights
Now come back here and stand on this chair...that's right
Raise your arms up in to the air...shake 'em
You give me a reason to live
You give me a reason to live
You give me a reason to live
You give me a reason to live
Suspicious minds are talking
Trying to tear us apart
They say that my love is wrong
They don't know what love is
They don't know what love is
They don't know what love is
They don't know what love is
I know what love is

CHARLOTTE GAINSBOURG lyrics - Elastique
Elastique
Gimmicks
Je te replique
Du tac tac au tic
Quand certains jours pour moi ca rigole pas des masses
Devant ma glace
Je me fais des grimaces
Elastique
Des gimmicks
Un peu comme Mick
Jagger que je trouve comique
Elastique
Gimmicks
Informatique
Sur l'amour file-moi ta doc
J'suis elastique
Dans mes gimmicks
Maths et chimique
Pas louper mon bac
Quand certains jours pour moi ca rigole pas des masses
Devant ma glace
Je me fais des grimaces
Elastique
Des gimmicks
Oui j'ai des ticks
Et c'est pas du toc
Elastique
Gimmicks
J'aime la musique
Le funky le roll and rock
J'suis elastique
Dans mes gimmicks
Mais helas tic
Je vois tout en toc

J'aime les comic
Strip aussi les clips
Quand certains jours pour moi ca rigole pas des masses
Devant la glace
Je me fais des grimaces

J'ai trop de tact
Je manque de tactique
Elastique
Gimmicks
T'es qu'un pauv'mec

Un peu comme Mick
Jagger que je trouve comique
Elastique

T'es qu'un pauv'mec
T'es malade t'faudrait un doc
GEORGE MICHAEL lyrics - Cowboys And Angels
(George Michael)
When your heart's in someone else's hands
Monkey see and monkey do
Their wish is your command
You're not to blame
Everyone's the same
All you do is love and love is all you do
I should know by now the way i fought for you
You're not to blame
Everyone's the same
I know you think that you're safe
Mister
Harmless deception
That keeps love at bay
It's the ones who resist that we most want to kiss
Wouldn't you say?
Cowboys and angels
They all have the time for you
Why should i imagine that i'd be a find for you
Why should i imagine
That i'd have something to say
But that scar on your face
That beautiful face of yours
In your heart there's a trace
Of someone before
When your heart's in someone else's plans
Things you say and things you do
They don't understand
It's such a shame
Always ends the same
You can call it love but i don't think it's true
You should know by now
I'm not the boy for you
You're not to blame
Always ends the same
I know you think that you're safe
Sister
Harmless affection
That keeps things this way
It's the ones who persist for the sake of a kiss
Who will pay
Cowboys and angels
They all take a shine to you
Why should i imagine that i was designed for you
Why should i believe
That you would stay

HAWKWIND lyrics - Angels Of Death
(Brock)
We're angels of life, we're angels of death,
We're born to blaze a nuclear way through space,
A way out of the waste that held the human race,
We're angels of life, we're angels of death.
We are the dead who are never led,
we are the warriors at the edge of time,
we lurk inside your brain we hide inside your mind,
We're angels of life, we're angels of death.
We stalk the city streets to kill all we meet,
nostrils flare awhile, it makes you want to smile
SANTANA lyrics - Stay (Beside Me)
Stay
Beside me
Don't go away
Cause if you leave me I will lose my inspiration
I don't wanna be another victim of frustration
Stay
Please guide me
I need your love
That I may see
Below, above, and all around is all confusion
You're the only one that breaks the spell of all illusion
Take me
I belong to only you
Your love
Coming down like a gentle rain
To soothe my pain
Gently
Oh, won't you stay
Below, above, and all around is all confusion
You're the only one that breaks the spell of all illusion
Take me
I belong to only you
Your love
Coming down like a gentle rain
To soothe my pain
Gently
Oh, won't you stay

RAINBOW lyrics - Starstruck
If I'm high on the hill
She'd still been looking down at me
What does she see that brings her closer every day to my heart
If I'm away from home
And think I'm all alone
She's there, somewhere
I look around and see
And looking back at me
She's there, beware!
Creeping like a hungry cat
I've seen her before
I know it can mean that
The lady starstruck, she's nothing but bad luck
The lady starstruck, running after me
The lady starstruck, she's nothing but bad luck, yeah
I could fly to the moon
But she soon find me and wait me there
I never knew for a while as smile made me really care
She wants a souvenir
To everyone it's clear
She's hot, hot - hot, hot, one look
She want a photograph
But everybody laughs but not me 'cause I see
She's creeping like a hungry cat
I've seen her before
I know I can mean that
The lady starstruck, she's nothing but bad luck
The lady starstruck, running after me
The lady starstruck, she's nothing but bad luck, oh oh o-o-oh
Oh my
The lady starstruck, she's nothing but bad luck
The lady starstruck, running after me, yeah
The lady starstruck, she's nothing but bad luck, yeah
It used to be a game
Now I can't repeat my name at all
She seems to believe that
I never can refuse a call
She wants a souvenir
To everyone it's clear
She's hot; one look
She want a photograph
And everybody laughs, hah!
But not me 'cause I see
She's creeping like a hungry cat
I've seen her before
I know it can mean that
The lady starstruck, she's nothing but bad luck
The lady starstruck, running after me
The lady starstruck, she's nothing but bad luck, bad luck
The lady starstruck, she's nothing but bad luck
The lady starstruck running after me
The lady starstruck, she's nothing but bad luck
Bad luck, bad luck, bad luck
And back in the tree looking back at me
Climbing up my stair
I've just got to beware
Lady starstruck, yes, she's bad luck, bad luck
RAY STEVENS lyrics - Safe At Home
Remember back when working hard
That baseball games and grandma jar
Appetites grew strong in the Georgia sun
'Bout the time you could smell the meal
With clean hand in center field
Someone would holler at, "Dinners on"
And no matter who the battle won
We'd stop and drop our baseball gloves
Head for the water pump to wash our hands
All stars bowed their heads in grace
Each one with its own home plate
Filled with the fruits of their labor from our land
And we were family
Family with resemblances too strong for us to see
We're family, ageless family
And safe at home is all we longed to be
I can still see little brother's face
As he slit wide eyed in the second base
And countless times I've wished we could return
It's in that moment seems so clear
Just who we are, why we're here
And I pray that someday soon the world will learn
We're family
Big family with resemblances too strong for us to see
We're family, ageless family
And safe at home is all we longed to be
DAVID BOWIE lyrics - Nathan Adler
Old Touchschriek was
the main nameserver
Suspected of being a shoulder surfer
But he didn't know from shit
About challenge response systems
Now Ramona A Stone we know was selling
interest drugs
She got males all hung up
on her mind filters
She was if you don't mind me saying so an update demon
Now Leon
He couldn't wait for 12 o'clock midnight
He jumps up on the stage
With a criss criss machete
And slashes around cutting a zero on everything
I mean a zero
in the fabric of time itself
Was this a suspect?
I says to myself
Woa! "Quelle courage!"
Oh wait, I'm getting ahead of myself
Let me take you back to
when it all began
SARAH MCLACHLAN lyrics - Pills
(Ola Kluft/Mans Lundberg)
I hope my smile can distract you
I hope my fists can fight for two
So it never has to show
And you'll never know
I hope my love can blind you
I hope my arms can bind you
So you'll never have to see
What we've grown to be
One may think we're alright
But we need pills to sleep at night
We need lies to make it through the day
We're not okay
One may think we're alright
But we need pills to sleep at night
We need lies to make it through the day
We're not okay
One may think we're doing fine
But if I had to lay it on the line
We're losing ground with every passing day
We're not okay
But that's one thing I would never
One thing I would never
One thing I would never say to you
That's one thing I would never
One thing I would never
That's one thing I would never say to you

DONNA SUMMER lyrics - Be Myself Again
Let me introduce myself
I'm a woman that you've never seen
You might know me from somewhere else
As someone that I've never been
I gave everything to play the game
My soul fell apart at the seems
I fell down like a house of cards
When somebody pulled the Queen
'Cause you could spend your life
Looking for your own reflection
Time can blur the lines
Between what's real and what's projected
Had I known what I lost,
What I'd gained
What it cost
I'd still give what remains
To be myself again
You must believe me when I say
Don't live someone else's desire
Turn it around like a photograph
The writing's been there all the time
Now you can have all these hopes and dreams
The ones I can't use anymore
I don't know what it is you lost
But I hope you got what you came for
'Cause you could spend your life
Looking for your own reflection
Time can blur the lines
Between what's real and what's projected
Had I known what I lost,
What I'd gained
What it cost
I'd still give what remains
To be myself again
Sometimes I wanna leave right now
Sometimes I wanna cry out loud
I wanna let it all hang out
But I don't wanna let you down
Sometimes I wanna just lay here
Sometimes I wanna disappear
I wanna show you all my fear
But I don't wanna let you down
'Cause you could spend your life
Looking for your own reflection
Time can blur the lines
Between what's real and what's projected
Had I known what I lost,
What I'd gained
What it cost
I'd still give what remains
To be myself again
To be myself again...
SANTANA lyrics - Try A Little Harder
(Leon Patillo)
Chorus:
Try a little harder now
Try a little harder now
Try a little harder now
Try a little harder now
No one ever said it would be easy
Doin' whatever you do
You just might have to suffer
But keep on movin' right through
You've got to
Chorus
Sometimes you have to change your tune
To get where you want to be
But don't you let that satisfy you
You can have all you see
Chorus
THE SUPREMES lyrics - Without A Song
(Billy Rose/Edward Eliscu/Vincent Youmans)
Without a song
The day would never end
Without a song
The road would never have been
When things go wrong
A man ain't got a friend
Without a song
That field of corn
Would never ever see a plow
That field of corn
Would be deserted now
A man is born
But he's no good no how
Without a song
I've got my trouble and woe
But sure as I know
The Jordan will roll
I'll get along
As long as a song
Is strung in my soul
I'll never know
What makes the rain to fall
I'll never know
What makes the grass so tall
I only know
There ain't no love at all
Without a song

THE 5TH DIMENSION lyrics - Last Night I Didn't Get To Sleep At All
(Tony Macaulay)
Last night I didn't get to sleep at all, no, no
I lay awake and watched until the mornin' light
Washed away the darkness of the lonely night (lonely night)
Oh, and last night I got to thinkin' maybe I, I, I
Should call you up and just forget my foolish pride
I heard your number ringin', I went cold inside
And last night I didn't get to sleep at all
I know it's not my fault, I did my best
God knows this heart of mine could use a rest
But more and more I find the dreams I left behind
Are somehow too real to replace (to replace)
Oh, last night I didn't get to sleep at all, no, no
The sleepin' pill I took was just a waste of time
I couldn't close my eyes 'cause you were on my mind
And last night I didn't get to sleep, didn't get to sleep
No, I didn't get to sleep at all at all
[Instrumental Interlude]
But more and more I find the dreams I left behind
Are somehow too real to replace (to replace)
Oh-uh-oh last night I didn't get to sleep at all no, no
The sleepin' pill I took was just a waste of time
I couldn't close my eyes 'cause you were on my mind
And last night I didn't get to sleep, didn't get to sleep
No, I didn't get to sleep at all at all
No, no, no
No, no, no
Last night I didn't get to sleep at all, no, no
Last night I didn't get to sleep at all
(oh, oh)
THE TEMPTATIONS lyrics - I Need Your Lovin'
Da-da-da-daa-da-da-hoo
Da-da-da-daa-da-da-da-hoo-hoo
You say you gonna leave me, for the arms of another.
You say my love for you is no good and we can't go any further.
But have pity on me.
I was blind but know I see.
Stay with me and never walk out of my life.
Because...
Ooo, I need your lovin'. (I need your lovin')
Oh, ooo, I need your lovin'. (I need your lovin', baby)
Inspite of all the wrong I've done, I'll make it up to ya.
Even if it takes all my life, I'll prove my love to ya.
So please don't go away.
With me always stay, 'cause I love you.
And I couldn't stand it being away, girl.
Ooo, I need your lovin'. (I need your lovin')
Oh, ooo, I need your lovin'. (I need your lovin', baby)
Girl, restore the faith you had in me.
I'm beggin' you down on my knees.
Please don't take your love from me.
Don't leave me, don't leave.
Forgive this fool, for causing your heart to suffer.
Remember two wrongs don't make a right, it'll only make things tougher.
So have little sympathy, on a poor fool like me.
And stay with me, please don't walk out of my life.
Because...
Ooo, I need your lovin'. (I need your lovin')
Oh, ooo, I need your lovin'. (I need your lovin', baby)
Oh baby, baby, baby. (I need your lovin')
Oh, woo, I need your lovin'. (I need your lovin', baby)
Oh-oh-oh (I need your lovin')
I need your lovin' baby, baby, baby. (I need your lovin', baby)
Oh, woo, I need your lovin'. (I need your lovin')
I need it, I need it.

L. L. COOL J lyrics - Life As
[The Street Fighter Soundtrack]
Aaah, get the burner, uhh, the burner, let loose the cannon
Blood drippin, slippin off my planet
Man, the panic, funkmode
Mechanical mix flows competition in my dojo
Swing a hook, got the vertabrae, be brave
Heat gain meltin on my heatwave
Power to the crowd, pandemonium
Showin em how I gets down
[Chorus:]
The life of a killer is scandalous
The life of a killer is dangerous
[repeat]
Triggedy, sky high like a kite
God diggity, every other cloud's blue
Puff on a, yeah, puff on a
Bring it on, off, on, baby one-two
Peep in the arena, death at your doorstep
Right around the corner is the land of regret
When ya sweat to get down, sweat to get off and on
till the... nothin normal bout my songs
[Chorus x2]
LL Cool, J jazzy jewel
Takin dime pieces to the real school
I got em on nations buckin like fools
Pitbulls fightin over streets I rule
Catch it if you can when it's hot ta hit'cha hand
Throw ya skunks in the air, my funk got the flair, man
I can do division, baby I can do math
Multiplying fractions now ya know the half
Knuckle games played, must pack steel
Oh yes I'm livin like real
to the highest extent, bloody clothes doin battle
til the death of my foes, it's my show
[Chorus x2]
HEART lyrics - Sand
I asked a distant star
I wonder where you are
The shadow at my door
A friend who is no more
I watched him go to the wind
I close my eyes
Goodbye, goodbye my friend
Friends and family
The branches of the tree
Sheltered in the rain
Telling me again
No matter how raindrops run
World will ture
Turn back to the sun
Yeah, yeah
A trick of light upon our eyes
A trick of time upon our lives
Ancient songs cry out to you
Surely this sweet sand is slipping through
I watched him go to the wind
I close my eyes
Goodbye, goodbye my friend yeah
A trick of light upon our eyes
A trick of time upon our lives
Ancient songs cry out to you
And surely this sweet sand is slipping through
Slipping through the glass of time
Surely this sweet sand will run on by and by
And while the days come down to you
You are just a traveler passing through, yeah
Yeah
LYNYRD SKYNYRD lyrics - Talked Myself Right Into It
(Johnny Van Zant - Robert White Johnson - Donnie Van Zant - Pat Buchanan)
Alarm clock rings about a quarter after five
I've been up all night
Raisin' hell with some friends of mine
I take one good look in the mirror
But only one things gettin' clearer
The way I live, I'm lucky to be alive
There I go lying to myself
Said I wasn't gonna do it
Next thing you know, here I go again
Talked myself right into it
Supposed to be to work an hour ago
When I pass that boss stormin' down the road
Now there's an angel on my shoulder
thinnkin' she can win me over
Devil's got my number don't you know
There I go lying to myself
Said I wasn't gonna do it
Next thing you know, here I go again
Talked myself right into it
Maybe, maybe have I gone to far this time
Maybe, maybe is my conscience workin' overtime
Nah
There's a knockout Georgia Peach givin' me the eye
Well if the truth beknown I'm just a little shy
Turns out she wasn't alone
She had a six foot chaperone
But that didn't slow me down
Don't ask me why
There I go lying to myself
Said I wasn't gonna do it
Next thing you know, here I go again
Talked myself right into it
I got no one to blame except myself
I said I wasn't gonna do it
Next thing you know here I go
Talk myself right into it
Talk myself, talk myself right into it
Talk myself, talk myself, talk myself right into it
Said I wasn't gonna do it
Here I go again baby
FREE lyrics - Don't Say You Love Me
(Fraser / Rodgers)
You say you needed someone
But you just needed somewhere to stay
Oh any other time
Any other time
I'd have told you to be right on your way
You say you needed a friend
But you just needed sympathy
Oh any other time
Any other time
I'd have told you just to let me be
But I was so alone
So alone.
Don't say you love me baby
Don't say you love me
Don't say you love me
'cause I know it would be just a lie.
I lost the warmth in my life
And you came and helped me up
When I was down
Oh any other time
Any other time
I'd have let you carry on
Fooling around
I let you into my home
And I even let you into my heart
Oh but any other time
Any other time
I'd have let you carry on
From the very start
But I was so sad and blue
And I just didn't know what to do
Don't say you love me baby
Don't say you love me
Don't say you love me
'cause I know it would be just a lie.
Time
Has told me what I need to know
Time
Has showed me now what love is for
Time
Keeps telling me that I have got to go
Yeah I needed someone
But that time's gone
Now baby I'm gonna try and do it
All on my own.
So don't say you love me
Don't say you love me
Don't say you love me
'cause I know it would be just a lie.
Don't say you love me baby
Don't say you love me
Oh don't say that you love me
'cause I know it would be just a lie
I don't want you to tell me that you love me
Because I know, because I know
Yeah I know, yes I know
I know that it would be just a lie
PAUL SIMON lyrics - Congratulations
(Paul Simon)
Congratulations
Oh, seems like you've done It again
And I ain't had such misery
Since I don't know when
Oh, and I don't know when, oh, and I don't know when
I notice so many people
Slipping away
And many more waiting in the lines
In the courtrooms today
In the courtrooms today
Love is not a game
Love Is not a toy
Love's no romance
Love will do you in
And love will wash you out
And needless to say
You won't stand a chance, you won't stand a chance
I'm hungry for learning
Won't you answer me please
Can a man a woman
Live together in peace
Oh, live together in peace

TOM PETTY & THE HEARTBREAKERS lyrics - Joe
My name's Joe, I'm the CEO
Yeah I'm the man makes the big wheels roll
I'm the hand on the green-light switch
You get to be famous, I get to be rich
Go get me a kid with a good lookin' face
Bring me a kid can remember his place
Some hungry poet son-of-a-bitch
He gets to be famous, I get to be rich
Or bring me a girl
They're always the best
You put 'em on stage and you have 'em undress
Some angel whore who can learn a guitar lick
Hey! Now that's what I call music!
Well they'll come lookin' for money when the public gets bored
But we'll fight 'em with lawyers they could never afford
Yeah I'll make her look like a spoiled little bitch
She gets to be famous, I get to be rich
Or bring me a girl
They're always the best
You put 'em on stage and you have 'em undress
Some angel whore who can learn a guitar lick
Hey! Now that's what I call music!
So burned out Johnny thinks the books are shifty
What good's that alchy to me when he's fifty?
Well we could move catalog if he'd only die quicker
Send my regards to the gig and a case of good liquor
He gets to be famous, I get to be rich
He gets to be famous, I get to be rich
My name's Joe, I'm the CEO
I'm the man makes the big wheels role
TERRI GIBBS lyrics - Somebody's Knockin'
(Penney and Jerry Gillespie)
Somebody's knockin'
Should I let him in
Lord it's the devil
Would you look at him
I've heard about him
But I never dreamed
He'd have blue eyes and blue jeans
Well somebody's talkin'
He's whispering to me
Your place or my place
Well, which will it be
I'm gittin' weaker
And he's comin' on strong
But I don't wanna go wrong
He must have tapped my telephone line
He must have known
I'm spendin' my time
Alone
He says we'll have one heavenly night
My fever's burnin'
So he ought be right at home
Somebody's knockin'
Should I let him in
Lord, it's the devil
Would you look at him
I've heard about him
But I never dreamed
He'd have blue eyes and blue jeans
He must have tapped my telephone line
He must have known
I'm spendin' my time
Alone
He says we'll have one heavenly night
My fever's burnin'
So he ought be right at home
(Somebody's knockin')
Somebody's knockin'
Oh, somebody's knockin'
R. E.M. lyrics - Houston
If the storm doesn't kill me the government will
I've got to get that out of my head
It's a new day today and the coffee is strong
I've finally got some rest
So a man's put to task and challenges
I was taught to hold my head high
Collect what is mine,
Make the best of what today has
Houston is filled with promise
Laredo is a beautiful place
Galveston sings like that song that I loved
Its meaning has not been erased
And so there are claims forgiven
And so there are things that are gone
Houston is filled with promise
Laredo is a beautiful place
Galveston sings like that song that I loved
Its meaning has not been erased
And some things, they fall to the wayside
Their memory is yet to be still
Belief has not filled me
And so I am put to the test
MADONNA lyrics - A New Argentina
[Peron:]
Dice are rolling, the knives are out
Would-be presidents are all around
I don't say they mean harm
But they'd each give an arm
To see us six feet underground
[Eva:]
It doesn't matter what those morons say
Our nation's leaders are a feeble crew
There's only twenty of them anyway
What is twenty next to millions who
Are looking to you?
All you have to do is sit and wait
Keeping out of everybody's way
We'll... you'll be handed power on a plate
When the ones who matter have their say
And with chaos installed
You can reluctantly agree to be called
[Peron:]
There again we could be foolish not to quit while we're ahead
For distance lends enchantment, and that is why
All exiles are distinguished, more important, they're not dead
I could find job satisfaction in Paraguay
[Eva:]
This is crazy defeatist talk
Why commit political suicide, there's no risk
There's no call for any action at all
When you have unions on your side
[Workers:]
A new Argentina, the chains of the masses untied
A new Argentina, the voice of the people
Cannot be denied
[Eva:]
There is only one man who can lead any workers' regime
He lives for your problems, he shares your ideals and your dream
He supports you, for he loves you
Understands you, is one of you
If not, how could he love me?
[Workers:]
A new Argentina, the workers' battle song
A new Argentina, the voice of the people
Rings out loud and long
[Eva:]
Now I am a worker, I've suffered the way that you do
I've been unemployed, and I've starved and I've hated it too
But I found my salvation in Peron, may the nation
Let him save them as he saved me
[All:]
A new Argentina, a new age about to begin
A new Argentina, we face the world together
And no dissent within
[Peron:]
There again we could be foolish not to quit while we're ahead
I can see us many miles away, inactive
Sipping cocktails on a terrace, taking breakfast in bed
Sleeping easy, doing nothing, it's attractive
[Eva:]
Don't think I don't think like you
I often get those nightmares too
They always take some swallowing
Sometimes it's very difficult to keep momentum
If it's you that you are following
Don't close doors, keep an escape clause
Because we might lose the Big Apple
But would I have done what I did
If I hadn't thought, if I hadn't known
We would take the country
[Eva:]
Peron has resigned from the army and this we avow
The descamisados are those he is marching with now
He supports you, for he loves you
Understands you, is one of you
If not, how could he love me?
[All:]
A new Argentina, the chains of the masses untied
A new Argentina, the voice of the people
Cannot be, and must not be denied
[Che:]
How annoying that they have to fight elections for their cause
The inconvenience, having to get a majority
If normal methods of persuasion fail to win them applause
There are other ways of establishing authority
[All:]
A new Argentina, the chains of the masses untied
A new Argentina, the voice of the people
Cannot be, and will not be, and must not be denied.
AMY GRANT lyrics - I Have Decided
(Michael Card)
[Chorus:]
I have decided
I'm gonna live like a believer
Turn my back on the deceiver
I'm gonna live what I believe
I have decided
Being good is just a fable
I just can't, cause I'm not able
I'm gonna leave it to the Lord
There's a wealth of things that I profess
I said that I believed
But deep inside, I never changed
I guess I'd been deceived
Cause a voice inside kept telling me
That I'd change by and by
but the Spirit made it clear to me
That kind of life's a lie
[Chorus]
So forget the game of being good
And your self-righteous pain
Cause the only good inside your heart
Is the good that Jesus brings
When the world begins to see you change
Don't expect them to applaud
Just keep your eyes on Him and tell yourself
I've become the work of God
[Chorus]

ELVIS PRESLEY lyrics - Kentucky Rain
(Eddie Rabbit - Dick Heard)
Seven lonely days
And a dozen towns ago
I reached out one night
And you were gone
Don't know why you'd run,
What you're running to or from
All I know is I want to bring you home
So I'm walking in the rain,
Thumbing for a ride
On this lonely Kentucky backroad
I've loved you much too long
And my love's too strong
To let you go, never knowing
What went wrong
Kentucky rain keeps pouring down
And up ahead's another town
That I'll go walking thru
With the rain in my shoes,
Searchin for you
In the cold Kentucky rain,
In the cold Kentucky rain
Showed your photograph
To some old gray bearded man
Sitting on a bench
Outside a gen'ral store
They said "Yes, she's been here"
But their memory wasn't clear
Was it yesterday,
No, wait the day before
So I fin'ly got a ride
With a preacher man who asked
"Where you bound on such a dark afternoon?"
As we drove on thru the rain
As he listened I explained
And he left me with a prayer
That I'd find you
FRANK ZAPPA lyrics - Suicide Chump
You say there ain't no use in livin'
It's all a waste of time
'N you wanna throw your life away, well
People that's just fine
Go ahead on 'n get it over with then
Find you a bridge 'n take a jump
Just make sure you do it right the first time
'Cause nothin's worse than a Suicide Chump
You say there ain't no light a-shinin'
Through the bushes up ahead
'N we're all gonna be so sorry
When we find out you are dead
Go head on and get it over with then
Find you a bridge 'n take a jump
Just make sure you do it right the first time
'Cause nothin's worse than a Suicide Chump
Now maybe you're scared of jumpin'
'N poison makes you sick
'N you want a little attention
'N you need it pretty quick
Don't wanna mess your face up
Or we won't know if it's you
Aw, there's just so much to worry about
Now what you gonna do?
Go head on 'n get it over with then
Go head on 'n get it over with then
Go head on 'n get it over with then
Go head on 'n get it over with then
You're on the bridge;
Scared to leap,
But a girl walks over
To take a peep. . .
She says: "DON'T DO IT"
But wouldn't you know...
The girl got a head
Like a buffalo
With a little red hair
All over the top
An' her breath would make the
Traffic stop
She says "I LOVE YOU...
BUT FIRST, LET'S EAT"
And all you can say as you run down the street

IRVING BERLIN lyrics - Hey, Wop
[1st verse:]
I got da husband he's so lazy
Sleep all da time and he make me crazy
Seven o'clock he's still in bed, dead
Good-a-ness me but he make-a me sore-a
Like-a da cannon he make da snore-a
Every morning, I
Got to wake him up and cry
[Refrain:]
Hey, wop
It's seven o'clock, get up
Sleep-a no more, sleep-a no more
You wake-a da kids when you make-a da snore
Hey, wop
Go to the barbershop
Take-a da razor and make-a da skip
Shave-a da face and collect-a da tip
What's dat?
You want your breakfast brought in da bed
Shut up, wop
I think you got the swell-a da head
You can sleep just as much as you like when you're dead
It's seven o'clock, get up
[2nd verse:]
While I get up and put on my clothes-a
He sing an opera through his nose-a
All-a da kids they holler "Pop, shut up"
When he begin to make da snore-a
All-a da neighbors who live next door-a
Holler, "Holy Mose!
Put a clothes pin on his nose"

BACHMAN-TURNER OVERDRIVE lyrics - Just For You
You can be the life of the party
Or you can be the belle of the ball
You can break my heart if you want to
And you can make me wait for your call
I can only give you my promise
That I will always stay by your side
You can make my heart spin in circles
And I'll go along for the ride
Just for you - just for you
Ya ya ya ya - just for you
There are so many things I would do
D d d d d d - just for you
Woo-oo-oo
D d d d d d - just for you
Woo-oo-oo
You can be the tiffany diamond
Or you can be the real Coupe de Ville
You can tear my life into pieces
Or you can make my world stand still
I can only say that I love you
So take me for just what I am
You can see the stars in my future
And I'll go along with the plan
You can be the sun in the morning
To shine your light through all of the day
You can lose my love in the darkness
And you can only show me the way
I can only give you my promise
That I will always stay by your side
You can make my heart spin in circles
And I'll go along for the ride
BARRY MANILOW lyrics - New York City Rhythm
When my heart is torn apart
By love I wish I had
Well I spend my nights in the city's lights
And things don't seem so bad
You know the movement seems to soothe me
And the tempo takes control
And I loss my blues when the New York City Rhythm fills my soul
It's the New York City Rhythm runnin' thru my life
The poundin' beat of the city's streets
That keep my dreams alive
I'm lost, I'm found
I'm up, I'm down
But somehow I survive
It's got to be the New York City Rhythm in my life
It's got to be the New York City Rhtym in my life
In my life
When I'm out for love or sin
Oh it's good to be in town
In the funky dives, on the old West Side
There's always something goin' down
Yes, I live my life with strangers
And the danger's always there
But when I hit Broadway and it's time to play
And you know that I don't care
Cause it's the New York City rhythm runnin thru my life
The poundin' beat of the city's streets
That keeps my dreams alive
I'm lost, I'm found
I'm up, I'm down
But some how I survive
It's got to be the New York City rhythm in my life
Oh It's got to be the New York City rhythm in my life
In my life
Oh got to, got to, got to be
You know the movement seems to soothe me
And the tempo makes me high
Its got to be the New York City rhythm in my life
Oh its got to be the New York City rhythm in my life
In my life
Oh got to, got to, got to be
The city in my life

ROXY MUSIC lyrics - She Sells
(Ferry/Jobson)
Now you're talking in headlines
Up to the minute and free
Stop press, hold the front page
Up as a mirror
Are you reading me'
Watch you walking in waltz time
A jigsaw puzzle in tune
Or are you faking a straight line
To suit yourself too soon
Rather nouveau than never
Contemporary ideal
Some natural kind of poet might slow it
But she sells more my speed
She sells country and modern
Ancient western song
Of oriental confusion
You so right, me so wrong
Now you're fixing to fly me-
Auto-erotic, please,
On the break that you're gliding.
Your lingerie's a gift-wrap
Slip it to me
Nine till five
The daily grind
Made-up lies
Make up my mind
Same machine consuming you
Consuming you
Oh why
She sells
I need
Oh why love why
She sells
I need.
THE FLAMING LIPS lyrics - Oh My Pregnant Head (Labia In The Sunlight)
When will you shut your mouth
Stop all the vibrate
Birds flying out of a mountain
Somewhere the snow cools my fever
I just have stumps left for fingers
Wonderin' can you still play guitar?
Just like a baby
Just like the smoke rings
Labia in the sunlight
When will you stop all yours buzzing
Smow crushing hummingbird
(all day)
Somewhere the star burns the universe
Gold eagle paints in my fingers
(all day)
Can of spaghetti diseases
Hopin that you can still play guitar?
Just like a baby
Just like the smoke rings
Labia in the sunlight
Labia in the sunlight [6x]
MANOWAR lyrics - Courage
Some want to think hope is lost see me stand alone
I can't do what others may want then I'll have no home
So for now wave good-bye and leave your hands held high
Hear this song of courage long into the night
So for now wave good-bye and leave your hands held high
Hear this song of courage long into the night
And the wind will bear my cry to all who hope to fly
Hear this song of courage ride into the night
Battles are fought by those with the courage to believe
They are won by those who find the heart
Find a heart to share
This heart that fills the soul will point the way to victory
If there's a fight then I'll be there, I'll be there
So for now wave good-bye, leave your hands held high
Hear this song of courage long into the night
And the wind will bear my cry to all who hope to fly
Lift your wings up high my friend fearless to the end
So for now wave good-bye, leave your hands held high
Hear this song of courage ride into the night
GOLDEN EARRING lyrics - Faded Jeans
(G. Kooymans/B. Hay)
Eatin' TV dinner, with the radio on
Made me cough up this kinda song
There's a guy singin' "I'd die for you"
And it sounds like he means business too
Here's me thinkin' all through the meal
Thank you for bein' so real and givin' me chills
You're the prettiest girl in the world
It's the best joke I ever heard
Young forever, never never grow old together
Gotta put on your blinkers, for a cakewalk in the sun
Like a mission impossible, like Atilla the Hun
Tomorrow's got me hidin' away
Yesterday's got me on the run
And my jeans keep fadin', fadin'
And my jeans keep fadin'
Don't know where these guys do come from
That say they'll kill and die for someone
It's a fluke people, that makes me puke, yeah, yeah
And I can't believe this is the truth
Here's me tryin' to make up my mind
One says "love is hard to find"
Two says that it's blind
You're the prettiest girl in the world
It's the best joke I ever heard
Young forever, never never grow old together
Gotta put on your blinkers, for a cakewalk in the sun
Like a mission impossible, like Atilla the Hun
Tomorrow's got me hidin' away
Yesterday's got me on the run
And my jeans keep fadin', fadin'
And my jeans keep fadin'
We're go out to yourself past
Get yourself a pair of new blue jeans
Into the washin' machine
Six times bleech, bleech, bleech
Mama's going crazy, see what you do
These pairs are brand new
I'll say, send it with
That's my jeans, keep fadin', fadin'
And my jeans keep fadin'
NEIL YOUNG lyrics - Thrasher
They were hiding behind hay bales,
They were planting
in the full moon
They had given all they had
for something new
But the light of day was on them,
They could see the thrashers coming
And the water
shone like diamonds in the dew.
And I was just getting up,
hit the road before it's light
Trying to catch an hour on the sun
When I saw
those thrashers rolling by,
Looking more than two lanes wide
I was feelin'
like my day had just begun.
Where the eagle glides ascending
There's an ancient river bending
Down the timeless gorge of changes
Where sleeplessness awaits
I searched out my companions,
Who were lost in crystal canyons
When the aimless blade of science
Slashed the pearly gates.
It was then I knew I'd had enough,
Burned my credit card for fuel
Headed out to where the pavement
turns to sand
With a one-way ticket
to the land of truth
And my suitcase in my hand
How I lost my friends
I still don't understand.
They had the best selection,
They were poisoned with protection
There was nothing that they needed,
Nothing left to find
They were lost in rock formations
Or became park bench mutations
On the sidewalks
and in the stations
They were waiting, waiting.
So I got bored and left them there,
They were just deadweight to me
Better down the road
without that load
Brings back the time
when I was eight or nine
I was watchin' my mama's T. V.,
It was that great
Grand Canyon rescue episode.
Where the vulture glides descending
On an asphalt highway bending
Thru libraries and museums,
galaxies and stars
Down the windy halls of friendship
To the rose clipped by the bullwhip
The motel of lost companions
Waits with heated pool and bar.
But me I'm not stopping there,
Got my own row left to hoe
Just another line
in the field of time
When the thrasher comes,
I'll be stuck in the sun
Like the dinosaurs in shrines
But I'll know the time has come
To give what's mine.

SIMPLE MINDS lyrics - Glittering Prize
Shine On, Shine the Light on me,
In all of my Life so that much more I see
In the Light of his Love
In the Light of reflection
Oh what a world
Or sometimes oh so it seems
Eyes in the skies
In that silver gift friendship
A Glittering Prize
Is it the prize of lost loves
They can remember quiet sides of midnight
They can remember the attraction of fame
Like a Glittering Prize
I saw up on a clear day
First taking hearts
Then our last breath away
Always came a time - time was on our side
We were spending time - we were staring out
Catch me in a dream - Captured all in heart
We were spending time - we were staring out
Could there ever be - ever more than one
It's called an act of Love
Can you you never stop?
Shine On, Shine the Light on me,
In all of my Life
So much more I see
Like a Glittering Prize
I saw you up on a clear day
First taking heart then our last breath away
Only on a clear day coming into our lives
See it in the eye - satellite skies
We were spending time - we were staring out
Take in, Take in more - The Endless breath away
We were spending time - we were staring out
Could there ever be - ever more than one
It's called an act of Love
Can you you never stop?
Always on a clear day
Crashing into our lives
Is it the Price of Love
Like a Glittering Prize
Always on a clear day
Crashing into our lives
With your love
Only on a clear day
THE POLICE lyrics - Hungry For You (J'Aurais Toujours Faim De Toi)
(Sting)
Rien de dormier cette nuit
Je veux de toi
Jusque'a` ce que je sois sec
Mais nos corps sont tout mouille's
Comple'tement couvert de sueur
Nous nous noyons dans la mare'e
Je n'ai aucun de'sir
Tu as ravage' mon coeur
Et mois j'ai bu ton sang
Mais non pouvons faire ce que nous voulons
J'aurais toujours faim de toi
Mais non pouvons faire ce que nous voulons
J'aurais toujours faim de toi
Tout le monde est a` moi
Je l'ai gagne' dans un jeu de cartes
Et maintenant je m'en fous
C'e'tait gagne' trop facilement
Ca y est alors ma belle trai^tresse
Il faut que je bru^le de jalousie
Tu as ravage' mon coeur
Et moi j'ai bu ton sang
Mais non pouvons faire ce que nous voulons
J'aurais toujours faim de toi
Mais non pouvons faire ce que nous voulons
J'aurais toujours faim de toi
Mais non pouvons faire ce que nous voulons
J'aurais toujours faim de toi
Mais non pouvons faire ce que nous voulons
J'aurais toujours faim de toi
No matter what I do
I'm still hungry for you
No matter what I do
I'm still hungry for you
Rien de dormir cette nuit
Je veux de toi jusque'a` ce que je sois sec
Mais nos corps sont tout mouille's
Comple'tement couvert de sueur
JANET JACKSON lyrics - You Ain't Right
Took myself on to the doctor wasn't feeling fine
I had a fever 104
Oh that blew my mind
Must be I had enough
'Bout to explode from the gossip i said
Thought my friend had my back
Just to stab oh yeah
Hurts so bad when I talk
Wanna take something
Numb the pain I know it ain't right
Come face to face with her
Gotta tell her how I feel inside
Ooh hoo you ain't right
Ooh hoo sick and tired
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
The doctor said he'd give me something
And I'd be alright
I still feel queezy, feel uneasy
No more drugs for me
Friendships I cherish oh
Let very few in the circle I said
These walls I don't let down
Not very easily
Some friends you grow old with
And they'll be there 'til the very end
I do believe that
But not with her like I thought
Let her in and I'll get stabbed again
Ooh hoo you ain't right
Ooh hoo sick and tired
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
NANCI GRIFFITH lyrics - Let It Shine On Me
(Paul Kennerly)
There's a star in heaven's sky
Always shining bright
It's just a tear in an angel's eye
A gentle guiding light
[Chorus:]
Let it shine on me
Let it show the way
Let it always be
Let it always stay
Let it flood my soul
Let it hold the key
Let it all unfold
Let it shine on me
When the way seems so dark
Let it shine on me
Bringing home within my heart
A reason to believe
[Chorus 2x]

SOCIAL DISTORTION lyrics - Hour Of Darkness
An hour of anger an hour of love,
This hour of confusion as I look above.
Death life as I've never seen before,
One more trip like that I'm in the mental ward
[Chorus:]
These sights sounds are all around me,
They grasp and they don't let go.
The sirens, the cries, the laughter the sighs,
I hear thee hour - My Hour of Darkness
An hour of darkness, an hour that's passed,
This life I feel just won't be surpassed.
Death life as I've never seen before,
One more trip like that I'm in the morgue.
[Chorus]
TOM PETTY & THE HEARTBREAKERS lyrics - Can't Stop The Sun
Well you may take my money
You may turn off my microphone
But you can't steal
What you can't feel
Can't stop the sun from shining
Shining down and down and down
And you may think you control things
But there'll be more just like me
Who won't give in
Who'll rise again
Can't stop the world from turnin'
Turnin' round and round and round
Hey mister business man
Be sure to wash your hands
Be careful where you stand
'Cause life goes on and on and on
Life goes on and on and on
And you may think it's all over
But there'll be more just like me
Who won't give in
Who'll rise again
Can't stop a man from dreamin'
Dreamin' on and on and on
IRVING BERLIN lyrics - When The Black Sheep Returns To The Fold
[1st verse:]
When the robin returns to its nest
After straying away from the rest
There's a welcome that waits
From its feathery mates
A welcome that can't be expressed
So it is with the boy who decided
From his father and mother to roam
Through his travels he may be misguided
But when fin'lly the black sheep comes home
[Refrain:]
Ev'rything that he did is forgotten
And they welcome him back to the fold
He knows by their sad, wrinkled faces
That the pain of his absence has told
Once again, they all sit 'round the table
As they did in the days of old
And they'll weep tears of joy
As they whisper "My Boy"
When the black sheep returns to the fold
[2nd verse:]
When the smile of a fool starts to fade
When he finds out the errors he made
Then the old-fashioned truth
That he heard in his youth
Says, "Go home," but he is afraid
As he stands on the threshold of sorrow
With the doors of the world closed up tight
He compares yesterday with tomorrow
And decides that he'll go home that night

DEAN MARTIN lyrics - I'll String Along With You
You may not be an angel
'Cause angels are so few
But until the day that one comes along
I'll string along with you
I'm looking for an angel
To sing my love song to
And until the day that one comes along
I'll string along with you
For every little fault that you have
Say I have three or four
The human little fault that you do have
Just make me love you more
You may not be angel
But still I'm sure you'll do
So until that day that one comes along
I'll string along with you
For every little fault that you have
Say I have three or four
The human little fault that you do have
Just make me love you more
You may not be angel
But still I'm sure you'll do
So until that day that one comes along
I'll string along with you
