ELLA FITZGERALD lyrics - Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man



Oh listen, sister,

I love my mister man,

And I can't tell yo' why,

Dere ain't no reason

Why I should love dat man.

It must be sumpin' dat de angels done plan.



[Refrain:]

Fish got to swim, birds got to fly,

I got to love one man till I die.

Can't help lovin' dat man of mine.

Tell me he's lazy, tell me he's slow,

Tell me I'm crazy (maybe I know).

Can't help lovin' dat man of mine.

When he goes away

Dat's a rainy day,

But when he comes back dat day is fine,

De sun will shine!

He kin come home as late as kin be,

Home widout him ain't no home to me.

Can't help lovin' dat man of mine.



My man is shif'less

An' good for nuthin' too

(He's mah man jes' de same)



He's never round here

When dere is work to do.

He's never round here when dere's workin' to do.

De chimbley's smokin',

De roof is leakin' in,

But he don't seem to care.

He kin be happy

Wid jes' a sip of gin.

Ah even love him when his kisses got gin!



[Repeat Refrain]


IRVING BERLIN lyrics - Everybody's Doin' It Now



[1st verse:]

Honey, honey, can't you hear?

Funny, funny music, dear

Ain't the funny strain

Goin' to your brain?

Like a bottle of wine, fine

Hon', hon', hon', hon' take a chance

One, one, one, one little dance

Can't you see them all

Swaying up the hall

Let's be gettin' in line



[Refrain:]

Ev'rybody's doin' it

Doin' it, doin' it

Ev'rybody's doin' it

Doin' it, doin' it



See that ragtime couple over there

Watch them throw their shoulders in the air

Snap their fingers

Honey, I declare

It's a bear, it's a bear, it's a bear

There!



Ev'rybody's doin' it

Doin' it, doin' it

Ev'rybody's doin' it

Doin' it, doin' it



Ain't that music touching your heart

Hear that trombone bustin' apart?

Come, come, come, come let us start

Ev'rybody's doin' it now



[2nd verse:]

Baby, baby get a stool

Maybe, maybe I'm a fool

Honey, don't you smile

Let us rest a while

I'm so weak in the chest, best

Go, go, go, go get a chair

No, no, no, no leave it there

Honey, if the mob

Still are on the job

I'm as strong as the rest


MARVIN GAYE lyrics - The End Of Our Road



(Norman Whitfield/Barrett Strong/Roger Penzabene)



Oh, it's over, it's all over

Said it's over, it's all over, baby

I gotta get away from you as fast as I can

You're too much for me, woman

More than my heart can stand

Like a kid behind the wheel

You've been reckless with my heart

If I stayed around

You'd surely tear it all apart



The road has got to end somewhere

Woman, woman, every road has got to end somewhere

Now is the time for the showdown

So let me give you the lowdown

We've come to the end of our road



Woman, I'm just thinkin' 'bout all the times you promised to call

and I sat at home lonely

You only did it 'cause you knew I love you only

Runnin', runnin' around with every guy in town

I'm tellin' you, woman, no longer will I be your clown



The road has got to end somewhere

Every road has got to end somewhere

I'm tired of your stuff

Say enough is enough

We've come to the end of our road

I can't take it no more



Woman, there's no sense in you beggin' and pleadin'

To hold on when I'm the one you're leavin'

Say I've 'bout had my fill of you (had my fill of you)

Flirtin's all through the years

And I've almost run out of tears

I'm tellin' you, I couldn't cry if I wanted to



The road has got to end somewhere

Every road has got to end somewhere

Time and again I've begged you to slow down

So I'm givin' you the lowdown

We've come to the end of our road, road, road



[Repeat and fade:]

(Oh, this is the end, the end of our road)


BONEY M lyrics - Consuela Biaz



In the hills above Freno

By a shiny mountain stream

A young man laid where he fell

In the ruins of his dreams

He looked into the sky

Happy to see that the dawn was slowly breaking

And the women knelt beside him

Consuela Biaz



Consuela Biaz she knelt there and gently

She bathed his wounds

And he kissed her trembling fingers

Consuela Biaz



Consuela Biaz she knelt there and gently

She bathed his wounds

And he kissed her trembling fingers

Consuela Biaz



In the town San Domingo

As we laughed and danced all night

To the thrub of flamingo guitars

Seemed a long long way from tomorrow's fight

He came from over the sea

Full of the passion of when

You were born to be free

From the Valley of Ronda

Consuela Biaz



Consuela Biaz she knelt there and gently

She bathed his wounds

And he kissed her trembling fingers

Consuela Biaz



Consuela Biaz from the Valley of Ronda

To the hills above Freno

Just to die against her shoulder

Consuela Biaz



I'm sorry if I have failed you


PURE PRAIRIE LEAGUE lyrics - That Changes Everthing Again



(Craig Fuller/Steve Dean)



Every time I think I've moved beyond the point

Of falling back into your spell

That's when you seem to know just when to call me up

And you repeat those lines I know so well



You say you've finally learned your lesson

That hearts aren't made to break

That you've finally seen the light

And you've made your last mistake



Ooh, That changes everything again

It's hard to say just how many times it's been

And even though I know it's a game I'll never win

You reeled me right back in

And that changes everything again



I told my self the last time you broke my heart

Would be the last time, and I'd move on

But at the slightest indication you might want me back

I find my strength to resist just ain't that strong



Well no matter how I try not to love you anymore

All it takes is seein' you standing at my door



Ooh, That changes everything again

It's hard to say just how many times it's been

And even though I know it's a game I'll never win

You reeled me right back in

And that changes everything again



Seems no matter how I try not to love you anymore

Just one touch, and I'm right back where I was before



Ooh, That changes everything again

It's hard to say just how many times it's been

And even though I know it's a game I'll never win

You reeled me right back in

And that changes everything again

THE TOY DOLLS lyrics - Howza Bouta Kiss Babe??!



Bored at a party Saturday night looking at Tupperware,

In came a chick who made me quickly glad I was th there,

How could I get the courage to ask her for a date?

Twas such a task for me to ask by then it was too late



[Chorus:]

Howza bouta... Howza Bouta, oooo she drives me crazy

Howza bouta, howza bouta kiss baby!



Why am I such a whimp I thought a soft and skinny puff

For me to ask a kiss from her was difficult & tough

Right that's it I decided to confront the lass,

I started shakin at the knees & tried to make a pass



[Chorus]



I lose my bottle everytime I see a girl I like

I start talkin jibberish & she says "on yer bike"

There must be something I can do a kiss would make my day

But everytime my gob opens I don't know what to say



[Chorus]


MICHAEL JACKSON lyrics - Blame It On The Boogie



My baby's always dancin' and it wouldn't be a bad thing

But I don't get no lovin' and that's no lie

We spent the night in Frisco at every kinda disco

From that night I kissed our love goodbye



Don't blame it on the sunshine

Don't blame it on the moonlight

Don't blame it on the good times

Blame it on the boogie



Don't blame it on the sunshine

Don't blame it on the moonlight

Don't blame it on the good times

Blame it on the boogie



That nasty boogie bugs me, but somehow how it has drugged me

Spellbound rhythm gets me on my feet

I've changed my life completely, I've seen the lightning leave me

And my baby just can't take her eyes off me



Don't blame it on the sunshine

Don't blame it on the moonlight

Don't blame it on the good times

Blame it on the boogie



Don't you blame it on the sunshine

Don't blame it on the moonlight

Don't blame it on the good times

Blame it on the boogie, woo



I just can't, I just can't

I just can't control my feet

I just can't, I just can't (Yeah)

I just can't (Woo) control my feet



I just can't, I just can't

I just can't control my feet

I just can't, I just can't

I just can't control my feet



Sunshine

Don't blame it on the moonlight

Don't blame it on the good times

Blame it on the boogie



Don't blame it on the sunshine

Don't blame it on the moonlight

Don't on the good times

Blame it on the boogie



This magic music grooves me, that dirty rhythm fools me

The devil's gotten to me through this dance

I'm full of funky fever, a fire burns inside me

Boogie's got me in a super trance



Don't blame it on the sunshine

Don't blame it on the moonlight

Don't blame it on the good times

Blame it on the boogie



Don't you blame it sunshine

Don't blame it on the moonlight

Don't blame it on the good times

Blame it on the boogie



Ow (Sunshine)

Ooh (Moonlight)

Yeah (Good times)

Mmm (Boogie)



You just gotta (Sunshine)

Yeah (Moonlight)

(Good times)

Good times (Boogie)



Don't you blame it (Sunshine)

You just gotta (Moonlight)

You just wanna (Good times)

Yeah, oh (Boogie)



Blame it on yourself (Sunshine)

Ain't nobody's fault (Moonlight)

But yours and that boogie (Good times)

All night long (Boogie)



Can't stop that boogie (Sunshine)

Ain't nobody's fault (Moonlight)

But yours and that boogie (Good times)

Dancin' all night long (Boogie)



Blame it on yourself (Sunshine)

Ain't nobody's fault (Moonlight)

But yours and that boogie, boogie, boogie (Good times)

All night long (Boogie)

PURE PRAIRIE LEAGUE lyrics - Hold On To Our Hearts



(Vince Gill)



Well I got a notion that you love me

I got a notion you're thinkin' of me

An' I got a feelin' about you from the start

An' I got a feelin' we will never part



Cause we gotta hold on (we gotta hold on)

We gotta hold on to our hearts, to our hearts

To our hearts, to our hearts



When I first saw you it was then that I knew

That you wanted me as bad as I wanted you

Well I gotta have you, I gotta have you now

So bring me lovin' baby and let me show you how



Cause we gotta hold on (we gotta hold on)

We gotta hold on to our hearts, to our hearts

To our hearts, to our hearts



An' we've had some bad times and hard times it's true

But I wanna hang on baby, you better hang on too

So bring me your lovin', you know it's my favorite part

We're gonna hold on... we're gonna hold on to our hearts



We gotta hold on (we gotta hold on)

We gotta hold on to our hearts, to our hearts

We gotta hold on (we gotta hold on)

We gotta hold on to our hearts, to our hearts

To our hearts, to our hearts

To our hearts, to our hearts

To our hearts, to our hearts...


TOO $HORT (TOO SHORT) lyrics - I Wanna Do It



[Chorus: Too $hort]

I wanna do it [4x]



[Too $hort]

She wanna do it like that, I love the way she do me

With that pretty-ass face and that big fat booty

Got me horny, I wanna have sex wit'chu

And do all them things, we never ever get to do

We already talked about it, you said you wit it

Get butt-naked in the bed and let me hit it

Last time I saw you, you was quick with the jag

Wanna hit it from the back, let them big titties sag

Bitch hella thick, lotta junk in her trunk

When you start don't stop cause I just wanna cum

And then fuck you again, bust a nut on your chin

Get my dick back hard and run up in your friend

We can all get together on the late night

A whole lotta fuckin and suckin, 'til it's daylight

I'm $hort Dawg, you better hand me that cat

You so sexy when you up there dancin like that



[Chorus]



[Too $hort]

Did you think I wouldn't be in here spankin that cat

Tryin to put her motherfuckin ankles on her neck

I made her lick it, suck it, swallow it, she asked me

How it get so damn hard again, I'm nasty

But I'm not a freak

I just say a lot of rhymes to a lot of beats

It comes easily, I'm a pimp in these streets

I'ma keep makin money in this industry

So when she bends her knees, I'll be standin up

Gettin head for 30 minutes, bitch can I fuck?

I know I came in your mouth I can't trust you slut

That's why I'm 'bout to raise up, when I bust a nut

Wipe your face with a napkin from KFC

I give a fuck what happened, bitch c'est la vie

I'm out! What'chu complainin about?

You should be happy, I left some DNA in your mouth



[Girl] You wanna do what muh'fucker, you wanna fuck?

I wanna do it

[Girl] Shit it ain't free

I cain't lie

[Girl] If you got that money you can get in this real quick

I wanna do it

[Girl] But I don't fuck with broke-ass niggaz

So what'chu wanna do?

[Girl] What'chu tryin to do?

I wanna do it

[Girl] Motherfucker you cain't get in this shit!

That ain't fly... I wanna do it

[Girl] Nigga you better have yo' cash first, ass last



[Too $hort]

Hell nah bitch you can't get over on me

I'm always sharp, I'm even sober when I drink

You runnin game on me, I gotta go

Bitch slick talkers might talk you out of your shit

But not mine, I keep ridin clean

I don't need you BITCH you need a lot of things

All I need is mo' money, and some choosin hoes

What I look like buyin bitches new shoes and clothes

Everythang on a bitch that's how it used to go

Back when them old school niggaz rode trues and vogues

I'll be talkin this pimp shit daily

Bitch you can't play me, what'chu do for me lately?

I know what it is, don't wanna hear about sex

It's two different things with a player and a trick

She can hold out her hand... and I won't pay her shit

I just say bee-itch!



[Chorus]



[Too $hort talking over Chorus]

CELINE DION lyrics - Tu Nages



Je connais bien ce regard

Ces yeux qui se ferment par instants

Ces pensees qui nous separent

Et qu'on ne partage meme en revant

Fixes droit vers l'ocean

Peines muettes ou courses d'enfant

Bouts de vie que tu caches

A l'abri dans ton silence

Que brise ma voix, je le sens



J'aimerais tant savoir

Souffler comme le vent

Sur ton doux visage

Fair partir le noir, disparaitre le temps

Casser les nuages

Parler meme tout bas

Juste pout toi et meme

De petits riens

Mais la-bas

Au loin, tu nages



Tu nages sans t'arreter

Dans les eaux pronfondes, quelque part

Tu nages pour ne pas couler

Et ici bas, c'est deja le soir



Et moi j'attends sur le pont

Impuissante et seule si souvent

Moi qui n'aime que ta voix

Petit point sur l'horizon

J'ai peur qu'un jour tu n'reviennes pas



J'aimerais tant savoir

Souffler comme le vent

Sur ton beau visage

Paire se lever l'espoir, les richesse d'avant

Nos plus belles pages

Parler meme tout bas

Juste pour toi et moi

Tu te souviens?

Mais la-bas

Au loin, tu nages



Tu nages....tu nages....tu nages


THE KINKS lyrics - Missing Persons



Have you seen this face?

Does it ring a bell?

Does it strike a chord somewhere in your mind?

And there's a big reward,

If you help us solve this crime,

And if you recognize this face, dial 999.



Have you seen this face?

Dig deep in your mind.

Has anybody seen that little girl of mine?

She was always a rover,

But I'm afraid to say she's strayed

Too far this time.



Now I'm sitting at home, staring at the wall.

Waiting for the missing person to call.

Waiting for the message I'm dreading to hear.

Waiting to confirm my darkest fears.

She's a missing person, I wish I could see

All of the places she might be.

Maybe I stopped her from being free.

Maybe there was something missing in me.



Wherever she is, I hope she's doing fine,

But I wish that she would phone or drop us a line.

Till then I've got nothing to ease my mind,

And I'm thinking about her all the time.


BARRY MANILOW lyrics - A Linda Song



He never wrote a song for Linda

He wrote as though he lived alone

He wrote of dreams that end of sad brave men

Inventing worlds he never know



But he never wrote a song for Linda

And she was right there all alone

Loved him back to life

When his luck ran low

But he never wrote a Linda song



He nearly broke his heart at writing

Linda kept him from despair

Standing by his side, through the hungry days

But he hardly seemed to see her there



And he never wrote a song for Linda

And she was right there all alone

The one real thing in his crazy world

And he never wrote a Linda song



When the bills piled up and couldn't pay

He couldn't dream no more

So he hitched a ride and he road away

And he left a note for Linda by the door

By the door



When times got rough he phone her

Once or twice she took the call

Then she changed her number and she turned her head

And Linda never looked back at all



He'll never write a song for Linda

And she was right there all alone

Oh he knows, is no one understands

And he never wrote a Linda song

No he never wrote a Linda song

FRANK SINATRA lyrics - MacArthur Park



(J. Webb)



[Recorded August 20, 1979, New York]



Spring was never waiting for us, girl, it ran one step ahead as we followed in the dance,

Between the parted pages that were pressed,

A love hot fevered like a striped pair of pants,

MacArthur Park is melting in the dark, all the sweet, green icing flowing down.

Someone left the cake out in the rain,

I don't think I could take it, `cause it took so long to bake it,

And I'll never have that recipe again, oh no!

I still see the yellow cotton dress foaming like a wave upon the ground.

Around your knees, and the birds like tender babies in your hands,

And the old men playing checkers by the trees.

There will be another song for me, for I will sing it.

There would be another dream for me, someone will bring it.

Oh, I will drink the wine while it is warm,

And never let you catch me looking at the sun.

But after all the loves of my life, after all the loves, you'll still be the one.

I would take my life into my hands and I will use it,

I will win the worship in their eyes, and I will lose it.

I will have all the things that I desire, and my passions flow like rivers in the sky,

And after the loves of my life, after all the loves of my life,

You'll still gonna be the one.

MacArthur Park is melting in the dark, all the sweet, green icing flowing down,

Someone left the cake out in the rain,

I don't think I can take it, cause it took so long to bake it,

And I'll never have that recipe again, oh no, oh no!


FAITH NO MORE lyrics - The Last To Know



Where it grows on trees

But never blooms

Where it hurts the least for whoever

Saw it first



First to go and the last to know



Last longer than a lifetime

Takes the least amount of effort

Feels better than a bargain

Just to know it's there



Can't you see

There's always one me

And that me is me



I know where but I cannot share

You'll call me - I'll stand in line till then

I'll be waiting



Can't you see

All circuits are busy

Please try back again


DIANA ROSS lyrics - I'm A Winner



(Nickolas Ashford/Valerie Simpson)



I roll the dice

Seven eleven

You'll either take me down

Or you'll take me to heaven



And I'm so glad

I took the chance on you baby

I said I'm so glad

I took the chance on you baby



My friends all say

He don't play by the rules

So listen

Don't you be no fool

Don't you know, you're just a beginner

So look at me now



I'm a winner

I'm a winner

Yes, I am

She's a winner

Yeah, yes I am

She's a winner



Like a roulette wheel

Spinning around in my head

I put my chips on nine

Gamblin' you'd be mine



And I'm so glad

I took a chance on you baby

Say I'm so glad

I took the chance on you baby



My friends all say

We just don't understand it

You play this game

You'll come out empty handed



'Cause here we arrange her

And then shortchange her

But I fooled them, y'all



I'm a winner

I'm a winner

Yes I am

She's a winner

Yes I am



Put that money down

and put 'dem chips on nine



I'm a gambling girl

And I give all I got

So I am at your love

And I hit the jackpot



And I'm so glad

I took a chance on you baby

I'm so glad

I took the chance on you baby



I'm a winner

Yes I am

I'm a winner

Yes I am

PANTERA lyrics - Yesterday Don't Mean Shit



There's nothing special about it

It's either there when you're born or not

Gifted with talent are no big deal

Welcome to the death of a century...



Cause yesterday don't mean shit

What's over is over and nothing between

Yesterday don't mean shit

Because tomorrow's the day you have to face

There's no rewinding time

Yesterday don't mean shit

Yesterday don't mean shit



Reliving old reviews is a useless tool of confusion

Don't hold your breath for the turn-around

Come into the world of endless odds...



They'll tell you about guilt

And in time you'll face the darkness...

But darkness is a friend to you

Embrace and fly through the madness

Flying past God and wars and conflict

Oppressor in you [x2]

Plowing through minds and paranoia

Oppressor in you

The oppressor's in you



Yesterday don't mean jack shit...



To protect you and I'll keep to myself

It can only be that way - yeah!

SARAH BRIGHTMAN lyrics - Chi Il Bel Sogno Di Doretta



Chi il bel sogno di Doretta

Pote indovinar?

Il suo mister come mai

Come mai fini



Ahime! un giorno uno studente

In bocca la bacio

E fu quel bacio

Rivelazione:

Fu la passione!

Folle amore!

Folle ebbrezza!

Chi la sottil carezza

D'un bacio cosi ardente

Mai ridir potra?



Ah! mio sogno!



Ah! mia vita!



Che importa la ricchezza

Se alfine e rifiorita

La felicita!

O sogno d'or

Poter amar cosi!



[Doretta's Beautiful Dream:]



Who could guess

The beautiful dream Doretta had?

Why her mystery

Came to an end



One day a student

Kissed her on the mouth

And that kiss

Was the revelation:

It was the passion!

Mad love!

Mad happiness!

Who will ever be able again

To describe the light caress

Of a kiss so burning?



Oh! My dream!



Oh! My life!



Who cares for wealth

If at last happiness flourishes!

Oh golden dream

To be able to love

In this way!


PETER GABRIEL lyrics - Mundzumundbeatmung



Zeig mir die Frau, oh

Gott, wie sie tanzt

zeig mir die Frau

Koerper voll in Trance

wie sie tanzt!



Sie tanzt auf den Tischen

fegt Bestecke weg

Greift sich den Staerksten

nimmt auch den Buckel mit

Glitzert abends auf der Pier

erloest den Jungen

dann das Tier

und das Tier



Brennen, brennen

will brennen: Zuend mich an!



Zeig mir die Frau, oh

Gott, wie sie tanzt

zeig mir die Frau

Koerper voll in Trance

wie sie tanzt!



Du hast mich verzaubert

will in deine Seele sehn

Die eine will kommen

die and're Seele will schnell gehn

Frag mich, wer ihr Schweigen bricht -

kannst Du ihre Sprache nicht

verstehn?

verstehn?



Unten am Meer

liegt ein Koerper im Sand

Die Frau sitzt da

seinen Kopf in der Hand

Die Haut vibriert, Ihr Atem macht wund

Sie blaest heiss

sie blaest stark in den toten Mund



Brennen, brennen

will brennen: zuend mich an


CHRIS REA lyrics - Just One Of Those Days



Cold red sunsets that freeze the rainbows out

Standing here in the rain

I've been thinking how, how much happier

I have been since you came

Staring down at the sidewalk shining

Satin winds floating down

Change the crystals on ladies faces

I think I'll stick around

Laden gutters, flowing over

Hit the streets and explode

Young girls laughing and make up streaming

Go running down the road

I've been thinking and too much drinking

And things I just don't dare to say

It's still raining but who's complaining

It's just one of those days

PINK FLOYD lyrics - Take Up Thy Stethescope And Walk



Doctor doctor!

I'm in bed

Achin' head

Gold is lead

Choke on bread

Underfed

Gold is lead

Jesus bled

Pain is red

Are goon

Grow go

Greasy spoon

You swoon

June bloom

Music seems to help the pain

Seems to cultivate the brain.

Doctor kindly tell your wife that

I'm alive - flowers thrive - realize - realize

Realize.


THE KINGSTON TRIO lyrics - Midnight Special



(Nick Reynolds/Bob Shane/John Stewart)



[Chorus:]

Oh, let the midnight special, shine her light on me. Oh, let the midnight special shine her everlovin' light on me.



Well, if you ever go to Texas you better walk straight. You better not stop. Hey! You better not wait

For the sheriff will arrest you and your head he'll pound. You'll wake up in the morning; the prison walls all around.



[Chorus]



Well, you wake up in the morning and they take you to the train. You better answer to the captain when he calls your name.

Then your guts are gonna get you and your body's gonna shake but they got you on a big chain, so you can't escape.



[Chorus]



Yonder comes my woman. How in the world do I know? Well, I know her by her wiggle and the dress she wore.

The last time that I was with her, she made me jump and shout. I'm gonna whip that captain. Watch me jump on out!



[Chorus 2x]

MICHAEL BOLTON lyrics - Simply



I simply love you, I don't have to ask why

I simply know this, like the sun knows to shine

The way you touch me, is there anything so right

In the soul of every part of me, I feel alive



[Chorus:]

It's true, I don't have to think twice

So true, baby, you're the fact of life

Every little thing you say and do

Just breaks me down and brings me back to you

It's true, there ain't no doubt in my heart

It's you, even in the deepest part

Never gonna be a way around it

It all comes down to...



I simply need you and I want you 'till I ache

You made me need you

The choice was never mine to make

I surrender, I'm just a man with no escape

'cause I'm really not about to live without you, baby



[Chorus]



Ain't got no temptation, try to solve this mystery

There ain't no explanation, just need to find out what's meant to be



[Chorus]



Now I've told you, what I've been feeling all along

Search for the right way as if it ever could be wrong

To simply say, all there is to say

I simply love you.....


GUNS 'N' ROSES lyrics - Don't Damn Me



Don't damn me

When I speak a piece of my mind

'Cause silence isn't golden

When I'm holding it inside

'Cause I've been where I have been

An I've seen what I have seen

I put the pen to the paper

'Cause it's all a part of me



Be it a song or casual conversation

To hold my tongue speaks

Of quiet reservations

Your words once heard

They can place you in a faction

My words may disturb

But at least there's a reaction



Sometimes I wanna kill

Sometimes I wanna die

Sometimes I wanna destroy

Sometimes I wanna cry

Sometimes I could get even

Sometimes I could give up

Sometimes I could give

Sometimes I never give a fuck



It's only for a while

I hope you understand

I never wanted this to happen

Didn't want to be a man

So I hid inside my world

I took what I could find

I cried when I was lonely

I fell down when I was blind



But don't damn me

When I speak a piece of my mind

'Cause silence isn't golden

When I'm holding it inside

'Cause I've been where I have been

An I've seen what I have seen

I put the pen to the paper

'Cause it's all a part of me



How can I ever satisfy you

An how can I ever make you see

That deep inside we're all somebody

An it don't matter who you wanna be

But now I gotta smile

I hope you comprehend

For this man can say it happened

'Cause this child has been

condemned

So I stepped into your world

I kicked you in the mind

An I'm the only witness

To the nature of my crime



But look at what we've done

To the innocent and young

Whoa listen to who's talking

'Cause we're not the only ones

The trash collected by the eyes

And dumped into the brain

Said it tears into our

conscious thoughts

You tell me who's to blame



I know you don't wanna hear me cryin'

An I know you don't wanna hear me deny

That your satisfaction lies in your ILLUSIONS

But your delusions are yours and not mine

We take for granted we know the whole story

We judge a book by its cover

And read what we want

Between selected lines



Don't hail me

An don't idolize the ink

Or I've failed in my intentions

Can you find the missing link

Your only validation is living your own life



Vicarious existence is a fucking waste of time

So I send this song to the offended

I said what I meant and I've never pretended

As so many others do intending just to please

If I damned your point of view

Could you turn the other cheek



But don't damn me

When I speak a piece of my mind

'Cause silence isn't golden

When I'm holding it inside

'Cause I've been where I have been

An I've seen what I have seen

I put the pen to the paper

'Cause it's all a part of me

Don't damn me

I said don't damn me

I said don't hail me

Don't damn me


THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS lyrics - Hearing Aid



Frosty the supervisor

Lives by himself

Sometimes I feel sorry for him

Usually I can't



I've turned off my hearing aid

Don't say the electric chair's not good enough

For king-lazy-bones like myself



More coffee for me boss

'Cause I'm not as messed up as I want to be



I've turned off my hearing aid

Don't say the electric chair's not good enough

For king-lazy-bones like myself



Because

Because


AMERICA lyrics - What Does It Matter



(Great hits of the sixties)

Look the lady's got a photograph

Silver framed and velvet backed

Well, she took it quite a while ago

Funny that she never let me know



What does it matter to me

If it doesn't show

I just don't know

It's only just a memory

Just a little history

Oh, oh, oh



And now she's wearing satin shoes

Gilded hair to pay the dues

I guess that I should tip my hat

I wonder if she'd think of looking back



What does it matter to me

If it doesn't show

I just don't know

It's only just a memory

Just a little history

Oh, oh



In the parking lot late at night

Paper straws never worked out right

I knew I wanted to

But didn't know why

So I just said "Hi"

(Everybody sing along now)

PETE SEEGER lyrics - English Is Cuh-Ray-Zee



English is the most widely spoken language in the history of the planet.

One out of every seven human beings can speak or read it.

Half the world's books, 3/4 of the international mail are in English.

It has the largest vocabulary, perhaps two million words,

And a noble body of literature. But face it:

English is cuh-ray-zee!



Just a few examples: There's no egg in eggplant, no pine or apple in pineapple.

Quicksand works slowly; boxing rings are square.

A writer writes, but do fingers fing?

Hammers don't ham, grocers don't groce. Haberdashers don't haberdash.

English is cuh-ray-zee!



If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldn't the plural of booth be beeth?

It's one goose, two geese. Why not one moose, two meese?

If it's one index, two indices; why not one Kleenex, two Kleenices?

English is cuh-ray-zee!



You can comb through the annals of history, but not just one annal.

You can make amends, but not just one amend.

If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one, is it an odd or an end?

If the teacher taught, why isn't it true that a preacher praught?

If you wrote a letter, did you also bote your tongue?

And if a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?

English is cuh-ray-zee!



Why is it that night falls but never breaks and day breaks but never falls?

In what other language do people drive on the parkway and park on the driveway?

Ship by truck but send cargo by ship? Recite at a play but play at a recital?

Have noses that run and feet that smell?

English is cuh-ray-zee!



How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same

When a wise man and a wise guy are very different?

To overlook something and to oversee something are very different,

But quite a lot and quite a few are the same.

How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next?

English is cuh-ray-zee!



You have to marvel at the lunacy of a language in which your house can burn down

While it is burning up. You fill out a form by filling it in.

In which your alarm clock goes off by going on.

If pro is the opposite of con, what is the opposite of progress?



Well, English was invented by people, not computers

And reflects the creativity of the human race.

So that's why when the stars are out, they're visible,

But when the lights are out, they're invisible.

When I wind up my watch I start it, but when I wind up this rap,

I end it. English is cuh-ray-zee!


BELINDA CARLISLE lyrics - Stuff And Nonsense



(T. Finn)



Disobey my own decisions

I deserve all your suspicions

First it's yes and then it's no

I dilly dally down to you, oh

But I've got no secrets that I battle in my sleep

I won't make promises to you that I can't keep



And you know that I love you

Here and now not forever

I can give you the present

I don't know about the future

That's all stuff and nonsense



I once lived for the future

Everyday was one day closer

Greener on the other side

Yes I believe before I met you

I assumed that your love was brighter than the stars in my eyes

Now I know how and when I know where and why



And you know that I love you

Here and now not forever

I can give you the present

I don't know about the future

That's all stuff and nonsense


AMERICA lyrics - Close To The Wind



Ah

Lately, it hasn't been easy

I've been wanderin' all night

Searchin', tryin' to find an answer

Why I'm in this situation



I've been sailing close to the wind

Trying to keep my head above water

Close to the wind, without you

I've been sailing close to the wind

Everyday it just gets harder

But you're all I need to survive



For so long it felt like

I was walking on the water

I found the hard part

Is waking without you in the morning



I've been sailing close to the wind

The weight of the world's on my shoulders (everyday now)

Close to the wind, without you

I've been sailing close to the wind

The loneliness it's neverending (yes I'm falling)

Open your heart, come aboard



And if we're back together

I know our love will be everlasting

I still believe that there's a chance

For us to have a happy ending

Peace will reign on earth

LIfe for all it's worth, oh yeah



I pray every single morning

That this time we will be much stronger



I've been sailing close to the wind

Help me try to find a shelter (to protect you)

Close to the wind without you

I've been sailing close to the wind

But inside it's safe and warm now (we're together)



Don't be afraid of the storm

I've been sailing close, close to the wind (been sailing in)

(Close to the wind) Don't be afraid of the storm

I've been sailing close, close to the wind (been sailing in)

(Close to the wind) Don't be afraid of the storm...


PAUL PENA lyrics - Let's Move And Groove Together



I know you about a mover

I want to move with you

I know you got to be a real good groover, groover

I like to groove some too, so come on:



Move and groove

Move and groove

Move and groove, I wanna

Tell me you a real fine walker

Come and step a while with me

Ooh, and it sound like you a real sweet talker

I've got something to say to you baby, so come on:

Move and groove

Walkin' tall

PAUL MCCARTNEY lyrics - No Other Baby



(Bishop/Watson)



But I don't want no other baby but you, I don't want no other baby but you,

cause no other baby can thrill me like you do.



Got a little woman, lives across the hall, I got a little woman, she lives across the hall

and most every evening she's asking me to call.

But I don't want no other baby but you, I don't want no other baby but you,

cause no other baby can thrill me like you do.



But lots of other women say be my daddy do, yeah, lots of other women say be my daddy do,

but I tell them I don't want no other baby like you.

I said, I don't want no other baby but you, I don't want no other baby but you,

cause no other baby can thrill me like you do.


JOHN KAY & STEPPENWOLF lyrics - Now And Forever



(John Kay, Michael Wilk and Rocket Ritchotte)



I been fightin' shadows wrapped in camouflage

Screamin' bloody murder at the daily sabotage

And though it's never over, I give up for today

Now all I really want is to see you smilin' face

You're the only one that ever found the way to my heart

And said to my surprise



Now and forever, I'll stay with you

My love will never turn cold on you

We belong together, like fire and heat

Now and forever, you're all I want, all I need



I been chasin' demons, you been racin' luck

We've been facin' deadines tryin' to beat the clock

Tryin' to get together, tryin' to find the time

And quit this makin' love on the telephone line

You're the only one that ever found the way to my heart

You're one in a million, you're second to none

Baby, you're the one



Oh, come lie here by my side

Let the world and all it's troubles be, just for tonight

I think about the lonely souls I've known along the way

I wish them all the joy and wonder of hearing someone say



Now and forever, I'll stay with you

My love will never turn cold on you

We belong together, like fire and heat

Now and forever, you're all I want, all I need

B. B. KING lyrics - Freedom



(Tommy Faragher / Lotti Golden)



Don't understand

How I could be so blind

Something is changing

And I don't know why

Heaven knows how much I sacrifice

(I hear you, I hear you)

Now nothing in this world

Will ever change her mind



Freedom, what she needs

She wants freedom

'Cause she got dreams

In her heart it's time to go

A long way from home

Yes, it's a long way from home



I still remember

Her standing there

(Yeah, baby)

The sun was shining

On her soft brown hair

Well, all my life

Every tear I cried

I saw the future in her eyes

Now her heart says it's time to go

A long way from home



Freedom is what she needs

She wants freedom

'Cause she's got dreams

And I hope she knows she's not alone

'Cause it's a long way from home

It's a long way from home



I think about her and then I pray

That she'll be safe and warm

(Safe and warm)

I get on my knees

(Down on my knees)

Oh Lord

(Oh Lord)



Freedom is what she needs

She wants freedom

'Cause she's got dreams

Give her freedom to believe

Her heart says it's time to go

A long way from home

Such a long way from home

It's a long way from home



Freedom

(Uh huh, that's what I want)

Freedom

(That's what I need)

Freedom

(That's what I've got to have)



Freedom

(Oh baby, that's what I've gotta have)

Freedom

(Oh baby, baby)

Freedom

Freedom, freedom

(She needs freedom)

Freedom

(That's what she needs)

(She wants, she wants freedom)

Freedom, she wants freedom

(She's got to have)

Freedom, she wants freedom...


THE MONKEES lyrics - Midnight Train (Alt. Version)



Well I'm an angry man, I sing an angry song,

Tell you honey it won't be long,

Well I'll pack my bags, get outa here,

With my guitar and a case o' beer.

Well I'm goin' north and I'm goin' south,

Tell you honey, better shut you're mouth,

Well I'll kick your head from here to hell,

You better know I can do it well.



[Chorus:]

Midnight train, ramblin', ramblin',

All night long I'm a-gamblin', gamblin',

Losin' all my money well it really is funny, hon.

Midnight train, ramblin', ramblin',

All night long I'm a-gamblin', gamblin',

Tell you what'n baby well you better be movin' on.



Well I really don't know where I'm goin' for sure,

Ain't got a map, and it ain't no tour,

I'm just headin' out for the open sky,

Who knows? Might even die.

Well don't you worry your pretty little head,

I never give a damn what I did or said.

That's why I'm packin' to leave this place,

Can't stand look at your cheatin' face.



[Chorus]



Well you treated me like a little boy,

And you played around like I was a toy.

I guess you thought I'd have the blues,

Look who's cryin', guess you lose.



[Chorus 3x]



It's about that time, better be movin' on.

Get outa here, you better be movin' on.

Well that's all she wrote, you better be movin' on.

ART GARFUNKEL lyrics - Good Luck Charm



(Aaron Schroeder & Wally Gold)



I don't want a four leaf clover

I don't want a old horseshoe

I want your kiss

'Cause I just can't miss

With a good luck charm like you



C'mon and be my little good luck

charm uh huh huh

You sweet delight

I got a good luck charm

Hanging on my arm

To have, to hold

Tonight



I don't want a silver dollar

A rabbit's foot on a string

Happiness and your warm caress

No rabbit's foot can bring



C'mon and be my little good luck

charm, uh huh huh

You sweet delight

I got a good luck charm

Hanging on my arm

To have, to hold

Tonight



Uh huh huh, uh huh huh, uh huh huh,

If I found a lucky penny

I'd toss it across the bay

Your love is worth all the gold on earth

No wonder that I say



C'mon and be my little good luck

You sweet delight

I got a good luck charm

Hanging on my arm

To have, to hold

Tonight

CAMEL lyrics - Summer Lightning



(Latimer/Sinclair)



Here's that feeling once again

Across the room you turn and then

Smile - I've known that smile before

Yes we've been friends for sure

Dreams and memories so clear

Share the love that we once had

Let the music carry on

Keep on dancing



Summer nights - here on that shoreline

Meet again - and drink that wine

This old wine - still thinking of you

Missing all the things you do



Here in the falling rain

Once again we play love's game

Keep on dancing



You cast that magic

Dйjа-vu - it's in your stars

They reveal - you know the answer

They are true - so for a while



Let's renew all those lovers' ties

Summer lightning in your eyes

It keeps on dancing



I've always known love

Would return to life in the darkest day

We will meet again

But on a later lifetime

Cross the skyline, I'll always be your friend

Send my love to you

There'll be no sad goodbyes


IRVING BERLIN lyrics - Don't Wait Too Long



[1st verse:]

You may have a certain someone in mind

Someone that some day you're hoping to find

The one that you'll adore is worthwhile waiting for

But the rest of the world is mating while you sit there waiting

So



[Refrain:]

Don't wait too long

With your castles in the sky



Don't wait too long

While you're waiting, time will fly



Love songs are best when they're sung

In the Springtime when ev'rything's young

So



Don't wait too long

Happiness may pass you by



[2nd verse:]

So much time is wasted waiting around

Just for someone who may never be found

And when the years have flown, you may be all alone

Looking back on the days you wasted, leaving life untasted

So

AIR SUPPLY lyrics - When The Time Is Right



When the time is right

I will come back for you

To hold you through the night

Just like I always do



Oh Jane, take me to your room again

Why can't we learn how to love and let go

One more time



Oh Jane, hold me in your ams again

Don't you feel the heat of the night deep inside,

Oh Jane



When the time is right

And you reach out for me

I'll run back to your side

Just where I used to be, Oh Jane



You can take the pain away

Say we'll be together once more

Please open the door, Oh Jane



Oh Jane, hold me in your ams again

Will we ever learn how to love

Learn how to love and let go



When the time is right

I will come back for you

With arms to hold you tight

Just like I always do



Oh Jane, take me to your room again

Because I believe the heat of the night is still burning bright

Deep inside



Oh Jane, hold me in your ams again

Tell me if you want me to go

I'll leave you alone, Oh Jane.



Oh Jane, take me to your room again

Can't you feel the heat of the night is still burning bright

Deep inside



Oh Jane, hold me in your ams again

Why can't we learn how to love,

Learn how to love and let go.


JANET JACKSON lyrics - Would You Mind



Baby would you mind touching me

Ever so slowly

You're making me quiver

Baby would you mind undressing me

Making me feel sexy

While in the moment



[chorus:]

Cause I'm gonna

Bathe you, play with you, rub you, caress you

Tell how much I've missed you

I just wanna

Touch you, tease you, lick you, please you

Love you, hold you, make love to you

And I'm gonna

Kiss you, suck you, taste you, ride you

Feel you, make you come too



Baby would you mind kissing me

All over my body

You misseed a spot - there

Baby would you mind tasting me

It's making me all juicy

Feeling your lips on mine



[chorus]



Baby would you mind coming inside of me

Letting your juices free

Deep in my passion



[chorus]

BEE GEES lyrics - Spirits (Having Flown)



I never fell in love so easily

Where the four winds blow I carry on

I'd like to take you where my spirit flys

Through the empty skys

We go alone never before having flown

Faster than light'ning is this heart of mine

In the face of time I carry on

I'd like to take you where my rainbow ends

Be my lover friend

We go alone never before having flown



I am your hurricane

Your fire in the sun

how long must I live in the air

you are my paradise

My angel on the run

How long must I wait

It's the dawn of the feeling

that starts from the moment you're there



You'll never know what you have done for me

You broke all those rules I live upon

I'd like to take you to my shangrila

neither here or far away from home

never before having flown

There I'd like to take you where my spirit flys

Through the empty skys we go alone

Never before having flown


ROY ORBISON lyrics - My Prayer



(Jimmy Kennedy and Georges Boulanger)



When the twilight is gone and no songbirds are singing

When the twilight is gone you come into my heart

And here in my heart you will stay while I pray



My prayer is to linger with you

At the end of the day in a dream that's divine

My prayer is a rapture in blue

With the world far away and your lips close to mine



Tonight while our hearts are aglow

Oh tell me the words that I'm longing to know



My prayer and the answer you give

May they still be the same for as long as we live

That you'll always be there at the end of my prayer


MOODY BLUES lyrics - Late Lament



Breathe deep the gathering gloom,

Watch lights fade from every room.

Bedsitter people look back and lament,

Another day's useless energy spent.

Impassioned lovers wrestle as one,

Lonely man cries for love and has none.

New mother picks up and suckles her son,

Senior citizens wish they were young.

Cold hearted orb that rules the night,

Removes the colours from our sight.

Red is grey and yellow white.

But we decide which is right.

And which is an illusion???.

PETE TOWNSHEND lyrics - One Note - Epilogue



[Little Boy:]

One note, sounds like a light ray

One note, sounds like a new day

One note, holds all the others, millions of colors

So one note is best!



[Pete:]

One note is two in an echo

Two notes of a million reflections

A million, is all of the rest

The sound of a dream

A poem and a scream

So one note is best


THE KINKS lyrics - Natural Gift



See that girl walkin' down the street

She looks like a prima donna

She's a star in her head and the world's at her feet

She looks at you twice and your heart skips a beat

She didn't learn it at high school or from a glossy magazine

You see she's a natural, she gotta natural gift

You gotta rise above your stupidity

You're dumb but don't give in

You gotta rise above your station

Discover what's within

And with some luck and dedication and some careful manipulation



Everybody needs some inspiration

Everybody needs some motivation

Mix it up with some imagination

And use your natural gifts, you gotta natural gift

You got natural gifts

Ah, hey, hey, hey, ah, hey, hey

And use your natural gifts, you got natural gifts



You don't have to be a genius to find

All the hidden potential deep in your mind

You don't have to know about nuclear physics

Know all the formulas and vital statistics

You don't have to be an intellectual, you don't have to be a scientist

To use your natural gifts, you got natural gifts, yeh

Use your natural gifts, you got natural gifts

You gotta stop this depression you're in now

Stop this emotional rift, you need a psychological lift now

Everybody needs some inspiration, everybody needs some motivation

Mix it up with some imagination and use your natural gifts

There are bad people, mad people, bitter people, scared people

Wanna put you down and keep you in your place

But you gotta chance to break out, you gotta chance to get out

And use your natural gifts


REBA MCENTIRE lyrics - One Good Reason



(Bob DiPiero/Johnny MacRae)



You said you were out with a friend

Well your friend left her lipstick in your car again

That mark on your neck didn't get there from shaving

I got a feeling you've been misbehaving



So give me one good reason why I should stay

Just one good reason not to walk away

Must be open season on cheating man-a-tease

And why do you do me this way

Just give me one good reason to stay

And I'll stay



You tell me your love is true

Well is that what you tell all the other girls too

You can't tell the truth babe

You're not even trying

I got a feeling you're just alibing



So give me one good reason why I should stay

Just one good reason not to walk away

Must be open season on cheating man-a-tease

And why do you do me this way

Just give me one good reason to stay

And I'll stay



So give me one good reason why I should stay

Just one good reason not to walk away

Must be open season on cheating man-a-tease

And why do you do me this way

Just give me one good reason to stay

And I'll stay



So give me one good reason why I should stay

Just one good reason not to walk away

Must be open season on cheating man-a-tease

And why do you do me this way

Just give me one good reason to stay

And I'll stay



So give me one good reason why I should stay

Just one good reason not to walk away

Must be open season on cheating man-a-tease

And why do you do me this way

Just give me one good reason to stay

And I'll stay

LINDA RONSTADT lyrics - Los Laureles



(Jose Lopez)



!Ay, que laureles tan verdes!

!Que rosas tan encendidas!

Si piensas abandonarme mejor quitame la vida;

Alza los ojos a verme

Si no estas comprometido.



Eres mata de algodon

Que vives en el capullo;

Ay, que tristeza me da

Cuando te llenas de orgullo

De ver a mi corazon

Enredado con el tuyo!



Eres rosa de castilla

Que solo en mayo se ve

Quisiera hacerte un invite,

Pero la verda no se

Si tiene quien te lo evite,

Mejor me separare.



Por "ai" va la despedida,

Chinito por tus quereres

La perdicion de los hombres

Son las benditas mujeres;



Y aqui se acaban cantando

Los versos de los laureles.


BLUE OYSTER CULT lyrics - X-Ray Eyes



Do not envy the man with the x-ray eyes

In the '50s Ray Milland pierced the skies



Do not envy who sees and plucks out his eyes

Do not envy the man with the x-ray eyes

Do not envy the man with the x-ray eyes

Do not envy the man with the x-ray eyes



You think you want

You want to see

Through all the lies

You think you'd like

To see past death

With x-ray eyes x-ray eyes

X-ray eyes x-ray eyes

X-ray eyes x-ray eyes



Do not envy who sees beyond the pale

Don't look there, pluck not at nature's veil

Do not envy the man with the x-ray eyes

Do not envy the man with the x-ray eyes



You think you want

To see the truth

But if you knew

You can't undo

You'd look away

With x-ray eyes x-ray eyes

X-ray eyes x-ray eyes

X-ray eyes x-ray eyes



Do not lift the veil of the skies

Do not lift the veil of the skies

Do not lift the veil of the skies

Do not lift the veil of the skies



Do not envy the man with the x-ray eyes

Do not envy the man with the x-ray eyes

Do not envy the man with the x-ray eyes

Do not envy the man with the x-ray eyes



With x-ray eyes x-ray eyes

With x-ray eyes x-ray eyes

X-ray eyes



Do not envy the man with the x-ray eyes

Do not envy the man with the x-ray eyes


THE ISLEY BROTHERS lyrics - Love The One You're With



If you're down and confused

And you don't remember who you're talking to

Concentration slips away

Because you're baby is so far away



Well there's a rose in a fisted glove

And the eagle flies with the dove

And if you can't be with the one you love honey

Love the one you're with



Don't be angry - don't be sad

Don't sit crying over good times you've had

There's a girl right next to you

And she's just waiting for something to do



Well there's a rose in a fisted glove

And the eagle flies with the dove

And if you can't be with the one you love honey

Love the one you're with



Turn your heartache right into joy

'Cause she's a girl and you're a boy

Get it together come on make it nice

You ain't gonna need anymore advice



Well there's a rose in a fisted glove

And the eagle flies with the dove

And if you can't be with the one you love honey


TOM WAITS lyrics - Emotional Weather Report



late night and early morning low clouds

with a chance of fog

chance of showers into the afternoon

with variable high cloudiness

and gusty winds, gusty winds

at times around the corner of

Sunset and Alvorado

things are tough all over

when the thunder storms start

increasing over the southeast

and south central portions

of my apartment, I get upset

and a line of thunderstorms was

developing in the early morning

ahead of a slow moving coldfront

cold blooded

with tornado watches issued shortly

before noon Sunday, for the areas

including, the western region

of my mental health

and the northern portions of my

ability to deal rationally with my

disconcerted precarious emotional

situation, it's cold out there

colder than a ticket taker's smile

at the Ivar Theatre, on a Saturday night

flash flood watches covered the

southern portion of my disposition

there was no severe weather well

into the afternoon, except for a lone gust of

wind in the bedroom

in a high pressure zone, covering the eastern

portion of a small suburban community

with a 103 and millibar high pressure zone

and a weak pressure ridge extending from

my eyes down to my cheeks cause since

you left me baby

and put the vice grips on my mental health

well the extended outlook for an

indefinite period of time until you

come back to me baby is high tonight

low tomorrow, and precipitation is

expected


DOLLY PARTON lyrics - Put A Little Love In Your Heart



(Jackie DeShannon/Randy Myers/Jimmy Holiday)



Think of your fellow man

Lend him a helping hand

Put a little love in your heart

You see it's getting late

Oh, please don't hesitate

Put a little love in your heart



And the world will be a better place

And the world will be a better place

For you and me

You just wait and see



Another day goes by

And still the children cry

Put a little love in your heart

If you want the world to know

We won't let hatred grow

Put a little love in your heart



And the world will be a better place

And the world will be a better place

For you and me

You just wait and see, wait and see



Take a good look around

And if you're lookin' down

Put a little love in your heart

And I hope when you decide

Kindness will be your guide

Put a little love in your heart



And the world will be a better place

And the world will be a better place

For you and me

You just wait and see

Put a little love in your heart

Each and every day

Put a little love in your heart

There's got to be a better way

Put a little love in your heart

Don't you think it's time we start

Put a little love in your heart

BEACH BOYS lyrics - Car Crazy Cutie



(Brian Wilson/Roger Christian)



Run a-run a doo run run

Wo run a-run a doo run run

Wo run a-run a doo run run

Wo run a-run a doo run run



Well my steady little doll is a real-live beauty

And everybody knows she's a car crazy cutie

She's hip to everything man from customs to rails

And axel grease imbedded 'neath her fingernails



Wo yeah (Run a-run a doo run run)

Wo oh oh oh (Wo run a-run a doo run run)

Oh oh oh now cutie (Wo run a-run a doo run run)

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh (Wo run a-run a doo run run)



A power shift in second and a-ridin' the clutch

My car crazy cutie, man, she's just too much

I take her to the drags, man, and everyone flips

For her big blue eyes and her candy apple lips



Wo yeah (Run a-run a doo run run)

Wo oh oh oh oh (Wo run a-run a doo run run)

Oh oh oh now cutie (Wo run a-run a doo run run)

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh (Wo run a-run a doo run run)

Car crazy cutie

Car crazy cutie

Car crazy cutie

Car crazy cutie



Well I guess you might say she's the rodder's dream gal

Always there to help, man, when you need a pal

But when I talk of lovin' man, some kisses and hugs

Says she's like to take 'em better clean and gap the plugs



Wo yeah (Run a-run a doo run run)

Wo oh oh oh (Wo run a-run a doo run run)

Oh oh oh now cutie (Wo run a-run a doo run run)

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh (Wo run a-run a doo run run)

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh (Wo run a-run a doo run run)


JOHN DENVER lyrics - Silent Night, Holy Night



Silent night, holy night. All is calm, all is bright.

Proud young virgin mother and child. Holy infant so tender and mild.

Sleep in heavenly peace. Sleep in heavenly peace.



Silent night, holy night. Shepherds wake at the sight.

Glorious dreams from heaven above. Heavenly hosts sing "Hallelujah."

"Christ the savior is born, Christ the savior is born."



Silent night, holy night. Son of God, love's pure light.

Radiant beams from thy holy face with the dawn of breathing in grace.

Jesus Lord of thy herd, Jesus Lord of thy herd.



Hmmmm, hmmmm. Hmmmm, hmmmm.

Sleep in heavenly peace, sleep in heavenly peace.


SHELBY LYNNE lyrics - Go With It



Don't know where the time has gone

Must have lost it in the night.

Maybe when it was when I was holding on

Couldn't get you out of my sight.

Maybe this is trying to tell us something

Maybe we're doing something right.



[Chorus:]

You just Go With It

You know it feels good

Go With It

You know it feels good

You do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it,

Just let go.



You never looked so beautiful to me

Maybe it's the love in your eyes

Together we fit perfect darling

Don't let another moment go by



Maybe this is the real thing baby

Maybe this is what it is.



[Chorus]



Kiss me darling

So we can start all over again

So we can be sure it's just not in our heads.

Hold me real close so we don't ever worry

I won't be without you again.



[Chorus]

LOS LOBOS lyrics - Buzz, Buzz, Buzz



(Robert Byrd/John G. Dolphin)



[Original Version:]



Well buzz, buzz, buzz goes the bumble bee

Tweedle ee deedle ee dee goes the bird

But the sound of your little voice darling

Is the sweetest sound I ever heard



I've seen the beauty of the red, red rose

Seen the beauty of the sky so blue

Seen the beauty of the evening sunset

But the beauty of you



Sweet is the honey from the honeycomb

Sweet are the grapes from the vine

There's nothing as sweet as you darling

And I hope some day you'll be mine



Well buzz, buzz, buzz goes the bumble bee

Tweedle ee deedle ee dee goes the bird

But the sound of your little voice darling

Is the sweetest sound I ever heard



I've seen the beauty of the red, red rose

Seen the beauty of the sky so blue

Seen the beauty of the evening sunset

But the beauty of you



Sweet is the honey from the honeycomb

Sweet are the grapes from the vine

There's nothing as sweet as you darling

And I hope some day you'll be mine

I hope some day you'll be mine

I hope some day you'll be mine

I hope some day you'll be mine





[Album Version:]



Well buzz, buzz, buzz goes the bumble bee

Tweedle ee deedle ee dee goes the bird

But the sound of that little bird callin'

Is the sweetest sound I ever heard



I've seen the beauty of the red, red rose

Seen the beauty of the sky so blue

Seen the beauty of the evening sunset

And the morning dew



Sweet is the honey from the honeycomb

Sweet is the song of the bird

There's nothing as sweet as that bird callin'

It's the sweetest sound I ever heard



Well buzz, buzz, buzz goes the bumble bee

Tweedle ee deedle ee dee goes the bird

But the sound of that little bird callin'

Is the sweetest sound I ever heard



I've seen the beauty of the red, red rose

Seen the beauty of the sky so blue

Seen the beauty of the evening sunset

And the morning dew



Sweet is the honey from the honeycomb

Sweet is the song of the bird

There's nothing as sweet as that bird callin'

It's the sweetest sound I ever heard



Well buzz, buzz, buzz goes the bumble bee

Tweedle ee deedle ee dee goes the bird

But the sound of that little bird callin'

I've seen the beauty of the red, red rose

Seen the beauty of the sky so blue

Seen the beauty of the evening sunset

And the morning dew



Sweet is the honey from the honeycomb

Sweet is the song of the bird

There's nothing as sweet as that bird callin'

It's the sweetest sound I ever heard

It's the sweetest sound I ever heard


DEAN MARTIN lyrics - The Sailors' Polka



Come on and play the sailors' polka

Make way for Navy blue

Oh how the girls love to polka

With a sailor who's tried and true



Where there is music and there's moonlight

The Navy knows what to do

So come on and play the sailors' polka

Make way for Navy blue



(Oh the band will start a-playing

When the fleet comes sailing in

They'll be hip hip hip hooray-ing

And the good times will begin)



They'll be gobs and gobs of misses

Who'll be waiting on the shore

With gobs and gobs of kisses

For the gobs that they adore



(Long before they drop anchor

You will hear the music start

Every pretty girl will hanker

To win a sailor's heart)



Yeah, the band will start a-playing

The dancing will begin

When the fleet comes sailing in



Come on and play the sailors' polka

Make way for Navy blue

Oh how the girls love to polka

With a sailor who's tried and true



Where there is music and there's moonlight

The Navy knows what to do

So come on and play the sailors' polka

Make way for Navy blue


GREG BROWN lyrics - Letters From Europe



Letters from Europe

All our pals far away

Who pack, pack it all up

Left the USA

One with a paintbrush

One with a musical instrument

One with masks and juggling balls

We cried when they went



We said we know it's weird here

We said we know it's weird here

We said we know it's weird here

We said we know it's weird here, but it weird there, too

We're gonna miss ya



Postcards from the coffee shops

The station in Amsterdam

The hotel in Lyons

London, riding on a tram

Adventures in transportation

Affairs of the heart

Also ah your lucky friends

All the other parts



We said we know it's weird here

We said we know it's weird here

We said we know it's weird here

We said we know it's weird here, but it weird there, too

We're gonna miss ya



Ah my children sing their own songs

I still, I still do too

I'm gonna send some on a cassette

On an airplane to you

I hope ya get a lot of work

I know travellin suits you

Oh and if ya miss the USA

Well sometimes I do too.



We said we know it's weird here

We said we know it's weird here

We said we know that it weird here

We said we know it's weird here, but it weird there, too

Ah we're gonna miss ya


ELLA MAE MORSE lyrics - The Blacksmith Blues



(Jack Holmes)



Down in old Kentucky

Where horseshoes are lucky

There's a village smithy

Standin' under the chestnut tree

Hear the hammer knockin'

See the anvil rockin'

He sings the boogie blues

While he's hammerin' on the shoes

See the hot sparks a-flyin'

Like Fourth of July-in'

He's even got the horses cloppin'

Pop, down the avenue

Folks love the rhythm

The clang-bangin' rhythm

You'll get a lot o' kicks

Out of the Blacksmith Blues



[Repeat]


PETE TOWNSHEND lyrics - Praying The Game



Sitting in clouds of air

Praying no on is there

Holding your head to the sky, in there

Swinging the smoke around

Cross like in Heaven bound

Hot line is cut up, because your bills all paid



Praying the game you play

Sin is from sin's to say

One minute here again, out of your brain

Playing the praying game

Stay away from them

Keeping out on the reign

Praying the game



And it's all the losers start

As your hurting all together

Are you really getting threw



Would you be wrong to sing and dance

Life goes on forever

Understanding isn't really new



I am a fool you claim

We are one all the same

Then you surrender, and the case is closed



Guess you ride innocence

I cause a sin offense

Short change my heart, for a fashionable home



Praying the game we play

All do it every day

No point pretending nobody's fool

Staying the same we say

Bring on a change our way

Treating the Lord, like a teacher in school



And we check over each shoulder

Making sure that no one knows

As we get down on our knees



And yet the witness inside

Looking out threw our own eyes

Is there really worthy on the trees



Praying the game we play

Saying's from saves to say

One minute here again, and out of your brain

Playing the praying game, staying away from pain

Keeping out of the rain, praying the game


BUDDY & JULIE MILLER lyrics - Don't Listen To The Wind



(Julie Miller)



Love and lies she gave to me

Now a million lovers couldn't set me free

She haunts me like the winds that blow

With a memory that won't let go



Every face is her's it seems

And when I sleep she's in my dreams

All the my thoughts my heart recalls

Drench me like the rain that falls



Don't listen to the wind

Don't listen to the rain

Can't you hear it call her name

Don't say it's alright

Don't say it's gonna end

It'll be a long time before I can love again



I know you want to marry me

But another woman won't let me be

I'm a fool to trade a girl like you

For a memory that won't be true



Love and lies she gave to em

Love and lies and a memory

Her kiss so sweet her angel eyes

It was just her love and other lies


DAVID GILMOUR lyrics - The Blue



(Gilmour/Samson)



Shameless Sea

Aimlessly so blue

Midnight moon shines for you



Still marooned

Silence drifting through

Nowhere to choose

Just blue



Ceaselessly

Star-crossed you and me

Save our souls

We'll be forever blue



Waves roll

Lift us in blue

Drift us

Seep right through

Color us blue



Wait for me

Shameless you the Sea

Soon the blue

So soon

Soon the Blue

So soon

ALISON KRAUSS lyrics - Missing You



Every time I think of you

I always catch my breath

And I'm still standing here

And you're miles away

And I'm wondering why you left

And there's a storm that's raging

Through my frozen heart tonight

I hear your name in certain circles

And it always makes me smile



I spend my time

Thinking about you

And it's almost driving me wild

And there's a heart that's breaking

Down this long distance line tonight



I ain't missing you at all

Since you've been gone

Away

I ain't missing you

No matter

What I might say



There's a message

In the wild

And I'm sending you

This signal tonight

You don't know

How desperate I've become

And it looks like I'm losing this fight



In your world

I have no meaning

Though I'm trying hard

To understand

And it's my heart that's breaking

Down this long distance line tonight



I ain't missing you at all

Since you've been gone

Away

I ain't missing you

No matter

What my friends say



And there's a message that I'm sending out

Like a telegraph to your soul

And if I can't bridge this distance

Stop this heartbreak overload



I ain't missing you at all

Since you've been gone

Away

I ain't missing you

No matter

What my friends say

I ain't missing you

I ain't missing you

I keep lying to myself

And there's a storm that's raging

Through my frozen heart tonight



I ain't missing you at all

Since you've been gone

Away

I ain't missing you

No matter

What my friends say

Ain't missing you

I ain't missing you

I ain't missing you

I keep lying to myself



Ain't missing you

I ain't missing you

I ain't missing you

I ain't missing you

I ain't missing you

I ain't missing you

Ain't missing you

Oh no

No matter what my friends might say

I ain't missing you


DEAN MARTIN lyrics - Who's Sorry Now



Who's sorry now

Who's sorry now

Who's heart is aching for breaking each vow

Who's sad and blue

Who's crying too

Just like I cried over you



Right to the end

Just like a friend

I tried to warn you somehow

You had your way

Now you must pay

And I'm glad that you're sorry now



Right to the end

Just like a friend

I tried to warn you somehow

You had your way

Now you must pay

I'm glad that you're sorry now

So glad that you're sorry now


PET SHOP BOYS lyrics - I Don't Know What You Want But I Can't Give It Any More



Did you get what you want?

Do you know what it is? Do you care?

Is he better than me?

Was it your place or his? Who was there?

Did you think it was wrong?

Do you find that it's worse than it was?

Has it gone on too long?

Do you mind that it hurts me? Because

You're breaking my heart



I don't know what you want but I can't give it any more

I don't know what you want but I can't give it any more

You're breaking my heart



Was it cracking the code

or just filling in time? Was that all?

So then why'd you go back

to the scene of the crime? Did he call?

Shall I take further blame

or another assault on how it was

Then we'll get to the fact

that it's always my fault just because

You're breaking my heart



I don't know what you want but I can't give it any more

I don't know what you want but I can't give it any more

You're breaking my heart

I don't know what you want but I can't give it any more

I don't know what you want but I can't give it any more

You're breaking my heart



Don't know what you want

Don't know what you want


PROCOL HARUM lyrics - Juicy John Pink



(Trower / Reid)



Well I opened my eyes this morning

I wasn't at home in bed

There were four angels standing round me

I thought I must be dead

Yeah I opened my eyes this morning

Thought I must be dead

There were four angels standing round me

and the room was painted red

Won't you have mercy on your wicked son

Take me up to heaven not hell where I belong

Yeah!

Well the sky began to tremble

and the rain began to fall

Four angels standing round me

and it weren't no social call

Yeah, the sky began to tremble

the rain began to fall

I fell down on my knees praying, Lord!

but it didn't do no good at all

Won't you have mercy on your wicked son

Take me up to heaven not hell where I belong

Yeah!


CROSBY, STILLS, NASH & YOUNG lyrics - Deja Vu



[Scat singing]

One Two Three Four

If I had ever been here before

I would probably know just what to do

Don't you?

If I had ever been here before on another time around the wheel

I would probably know just how to deal

With all of you

And I feel

Like I've been here before

Feel

Like I've been here before

And you know it makes me wonder

What's going on under the ground, hmmm

Do you know? Don't you wonder?

What's going on down under you

We have all been here before, we have all been here before

We have all been here before, we have all been here before

We have all been here before, we have all been here before


PATTY LOVELESS lyrics - Here I Am



Don't do it darlin'

Don't you dare look in there

You said you didn't want to see me

But you've been lookin' for me everywhere

And you know that you're gonna find me

If you keep on drinkin' fast

'Cause honey I'm right there waitin' on you

At the bottom of your glass



And here I am

Here I am

In the bourbon and the water

That burn you just like a brand

Here I am



It ain't workin' darlin'

Hard as you may try

You keep hearin' the words you told me

In everyone's goodbye

And you know that you're just one step

From another one being gone

I know I've seen 'em all unravel

I've been watchin' it all along



And here I am

Here I am

In every lie you're hearin'

That burn you just like a brand

Here I am



And honey, I got over you passin' me over

A long time ago

And my pride was stronger when I was younger

Now I'd rather have you to know



That here I am

Here I am

I still carry a flame for you

Burnin' me like a brand

Here I am


PRINCE lyrics - Miss You



I miss the ocean

I miss the time we made love under the stars

I miss the summer breeze

I miss those big old fancy cars

I miss the blue skies

I miss the pouring rain 2

Most of all baby, I miss U

Oh, I miss U

Oh, I miss U

Oh, I miss U

PRINCE lyrics - Elephants And Flowers



Boy is lonely on a burning hot summer night

He's looking 4 some action, he's looking 4 a fight

He's looking 4 a saviour in a city full of fools

Maybe he just needs a good talker to give him a good talking 2.

Can we talk baby? Strip down, strip down.

I think I'm gonna fall in love tonight.



Elephants and flowers, hot sweaty light paints a picture red and gold

On a crowd of naked bodies stripped down to their very souls

How can he find a shy angel in a city so bold (so bold)

He can't even find a place 2 dance, this is rock and roll.

Strip down, strip down, elephants and flowers

Is everybody ready? Here we go.



Love the one who is love, (love) the one who gives us the power, (power)

The one who made everything, (what?) elephants and flowers (what will he do?)

The one who will listen when all others will not.

There will be peace 4 those who love god a lot.



Elephants and flowers. Strip down. Think I'm gonna fall in love tonight.

When I do, there won't be no more (confusion)

There won't be no more (no tears)

There won't be no more enemies, so that eliminates all the fear

And there won't be no sorrow, (sorrow)

There won't be no pain, (no pain)

There won't be no ball and no chain

Strip down, strip down. Elephants and flowers.



Boy is lonely on a burning hot summer night

He's looking 4 an angel to hold him 'til the morning light

Here we go.



Love the one who is love, (well) the one who gives us the power, (power)

The one who made everything, (everything) elephants and flowers (oh, yeah)

The one who will listen when all others will not. (all others will not)

There will be peace 4 those who love god a lot.

Here we go.



Love the one who is love, (love) the one who gives us the power, (power)

The one who made everything, (what?) elephants and flowers (what will he do?)

The one who will listen when all others will not.

There will be peace 4 those who love god a lot.


CHRIS REA lyrics - Josephine



There's rain on my window

But I'm thinking of you

Tears on my pillow

But I will come through

Josephine, I'll send you all my love

And every single step I take

I take for you

Josephine



There's a storm on my radar

But I can still fly

And you are the reason

The blue in my sky

Josephine



A life without meaning

I was walking away

In the coldest of winters

Night becomes day

Josephine, I'll send you all my love

And every single step I take

I take for you

Josephine


RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS lyrics - Make You Feel Better



She's the one she's the only one

She's got ripped back light

Gonna make me come

I say... when I smile I'm a really smile

I got dreams so wide like a country mile



I said now, I'll take it

It's better for you

Somehow we'll make it

'cause that's what we do



Pick a star in the open sky

I see you see me

And that is why I



Hop along to the cowboy beat

When I feel your fire

Jump up to meet



Something out there

Where love is your only friend and

We are the ones

That will make you feel better and

Someone to spare

When love is the only end and

We are the ones

That will make you feel better

Oh yeah



In a world that has run amok

I've got to set my sights

Just to get struck



I walk away from the rank and file

With a punched out mouth

And a pack of style



I say... she's the one she's the only one

Make me search myself

Until I'm done... and



Tell me now in a telegram

Do the sea of stars

Make a diagram... and



So alive I arrive on dust

You can search my mind

For the red on rust... I said

Take me there and she really cares

Lights up for me gonna hear my prayers

I said


REBA MCENTIRE lyrics - You Remember Me



(Jesse Winchester)



They say no one should call on you

Unless She's your permission to

But me, I just came anyway

I couldn't care less what you say

'Cause I know you from long before

You hid behind a stained glass door

And walked around

And looked your old friends up and down



But anyway, I thought I'd come give you a look

At where you're from and let you know

I still recall what a child you are underneath it all



You remember me the funny way I cry

The funny way I sit there when someone says goodbye

The funny way I wind up lost when someone sets me free

Why sure, you remember me



Well, I won't take up your whole day

I've said about all I have to say

I guess I'll be moving on

I know you'll be glad to see me gone

Tonight is our last night in town

So don't worry 'bout me hanging around

Tomorrow night it's Calgary

And you'll be good and rid of me



You remember me the funny way I cry

The funny way I sit there when someone says goodbye

The funny way I wind up lost when someone sets me free

Why sure, you remember me



You remember me the funny way I cry

The funny way I sit there when someone says goodbye

The funny way I wind up lost when someone sets me free

Why sure, you remember me
