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
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

So what'chu wanna do?

That ain't fly... I wanna do it
[Girl] Nigga you better have yo' cash first, ass last

Bitch slick talkers might talk you out of your shit
But not mine, I keep ridin clean

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

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,
oh yeah
Uh huh huh, uh huh huh, uh huh huh,
oh yeah
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
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,
oh yeah
Uh huh huh, uh huh huh, uh huh huh,
oh yeah
Uh huh huh, uh huh huh, uh huh huh,
oh yeah
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'
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
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
