ALICE COOPER lyrics - Run Down The Devil



(Alice Cooper, Benji Hughes, Mike Elizondo, Mark Hudson)



It's twelve o'clock in the mornin'

While everybody is sleepin'

I want him dead in my head lights

Cuz in the shadow he's creepin'



Drive on down to lonely street

He's always waiting there for me

Run down the devil, run the devil down

Run down the devil, run him down, down, down

Run down the devil, run the devil down

Run down the devil, run him down, down, down



I want to take him to the Mercury grill

I hope he's ready for the big blast

He'll be my ultimate road kill

I'll kick his future up his past



I'll send him back to hell alright

The world can sleep in peace tonight

Run down the devil, run the devil down

Run down the devil, run him down, down, down

Run down the devil, run the devil down

Run down the devil, run him down, down, down



Everybody's gotta hold him down

Can't let Beelzebaby back in town

Run down the devil, run the devil down

Run down the devil, run him down, down, down

Run down the devil, run

Run down the devil, run him down, down, down

Run down the devil, run the devil down

Run down the devil, run him down, down, down

Run down the devil, run

Run down the devil, run him down, down, down


UFO lyrics - Shadow Dancer



I am back in the circus

Oh hustling days

I look at the world

In a rose coloured haze

Cramp tight bodies

Jive and girate

Bump and grind to the rhythm of fate

And we spun in the sunlight

Of our long summers day

We kissed the heavens now

It's still a beautiful day



Back on my wall

Shadow dancer

My hammer headed friends

And the puppet girls call

Back on my wall

Shadow dancer

The dance is coming back,

Back in my world



Married a model

From old Hong Kong

Came to England

Just a singing my song

This love in a letter

Sure didn't last

Stamped her passport

Never saw her arse



And we spun in the sunlight

Of our long summers day

We kissed the heavens now

It's still a beautiful day



Back on my wall

Shadow dancer

My hammer headed friends

And the puppet girls call

Back on my wall

Shadow dancer

The dance is coming back,

Back in my world



[Solo]



Unlucky in life,

Unlucky in love

No special blessing from above

Fools and horses

Come to my door

I am the stranger

Who sleeps on the floor



We spun in the sunlight

Of our long summers day

We kissed the heavens now

It's still a beautiful day



Back on my wall

Shadow dancer

My hammer headed friends

And the puppet girls call

Back on my wall

Shadow dancer

The dance is coming back,

Back in my world



Back on my wall

Shadow dancer

My hammer headed friends

And the puppet girls call

Back on my wall

Shadow dancer

The dance is coming back,

Back in my world


THE ALAN PARSONS PROJECT lyrics - Somebody Out There



Maybe I'm imagining the things they say about me

Maybe there is really nothing there at all

Standing in the middle while the rumours fly around me

Hiding from a shadow on an empty wall



When my back is turned he's up to something else

And I must not stop believing in myself

m I dreaming will the nightmare just go on

And never end



Somebody out there, says that he's you

Somebody out there, talks like you do

He calls up your number

And you can't get through somebody out there



Wish that I could run away and leave it all behind me

Wish I wasn't hurt by all the things they say

If I didn't need to know the simple truth about me

Wouldn't it be easier to walk away



And I don't need more confusion in my life

No more pain and disillusion in my life

If I'm dreaming will the nightmare just go on

And never end



Somebody out there, stolen your base

Somebody out there, parked in your place

You've no reservation, he's taken your place

Somebody out there, wasting your time

Somebody out there, using your dime

Your friends think you're crazy

They're way out of line

Somebody out there, says that he's you

Somebody out there, thinks like you do

You stare at the mirror

You're looking into

Somebody out there


JOHN KAY lyrics - I Will Not Be Denied



(John Kay)



I was raised to be a fighter, I've been sluggin' all my life

Got a job, a house, a mortgage, two kids but just one wife

But I've been behind on points ever since the second round

The market keeps on goin' up while I keep slippin' down

I'm all punched out from work and family

I need a break, stand back and fan me

My corner says we just can't win

The fight is rigged, the fix is in



Ain't no rest for the weary, no mercy for the just plain ordinary people

Nobody we can trust, no reason to believe and no relief in sight

Ain't no justice in the world, still I will not be denied



Just one is one too many and a thousand ain't enough

I'm addicted to consumption, I keep jonesing for the stuff

Still there must be more than this, to fill this gaping hole

Or does the road to glory really dead end at the mall?

Father please hear my confession

I am a slave to my possessions

I toil in vain from dawn till dark

I owe my soul to mastercard



Standing at the news stand by the sex and cigarettes

I noticed in the head lines, much to my regret

Sweeping allegations as to who's been in kahootz

And twelve investigations into who took all the loot

There are snipers and assassins who claim they just report

And philistines and vandals at the court of last resort

There are pious politicians who would save us from our sin

Why do I get the feeling we'd get sodomized again?

IRVING BERLIN lyrics - Oh, That Beautiful Rag



[1st verse:]

Honey, that leaderman leads like a leader can

Just see him leadin' that band

My honey, don't you understand

That they're playin' music grand

And

Just never mind the name

Ragtime is all the same

Music is music with me

But I will say that it's beautiful, hon'

With a great big capital B



[Refrain:]

Oh! oh! oh! oh!

Oh! that beautiful rag

It sets my heart a-reelin'

Oh! oh! oh! oh!

Oh! that beautiful drag

That funny feeling stealing

Hear that trombone blowin', hon'

Ain't dem fiddles goin' some?

Oh! sir

Oh! sir, cuddle up closer

Squeeze me like you would a flower

Make a minute last an hour

Oh! oh! oh! oh!

Oh! that heavenly strain

It makes me feel so funny

If I ever cry, "Don't play it again"

Just don't believe me honey

Oh, my dearie, can't you hear me callin'?

Come up near me, catch me, dear, I'm fallin'

Oh! oh! oh! oh!

Oh! that beautiful rag



[2nd verse:]

What does my honey want? Go in a restaurant?

Now you is talkin' some sense

And this here place is just immense

I know you don't mind expense

Hence

Bring on yo' bill o' fare

Honey, I do declare

Somehow I'm feelin' forlorn

Hear them playin' that old beautiful rag

Now my appetite is gone


THE CROSS lyrics - Millionare

So love me now

MOTORHEAD lyrics - Asylum Choir



Gone out of sight there's only darkness in my eyes

Hey, hey, where are the loosers now

Gone inside outlaws every day a losing streak

Every day they tell us lies



The sky, the sky is crushing you

The wall, the walls are touching you too

Even the floor is clutching you

And all the eyes that ever closed are open,

and they're watching you



Blind justice hears the voice of bribery all right,

Hey, hey, but she don't see the joke

There's only treason left when you put out the light

You can't see who it was that spoke



The sky, the sky is crushing you

The wall, the walls are touching you too

Even the floor is clutching you

And all the eyes you ever closed are open,

and they're watching you



There ain't no windows in the hallways anymore

Hey, hey, the news is awful bad

Two schizophrenics but I can't see them at all

Anymore and I'll go mad



The sky is crushing you

And now the walls are closing in on you

Even the floor is tripping you

And all the eyes you ever closed are open,

and they're watching you


THE ROLLING STONES lyrics - Hang Five



(M. Jagger/K. Richards)



In the sweet old country where I come from

Nobody ever works

Yeah nothing gets done

We hang fire, we hang fire

You know marrying money is a full time job

I don't need the aggravation

I'm a lazy slob

I hang fire, I hang fire

Hang fire, put it on the wire

We've got nothing to eat

We got nowhere to work

Nothing to drink

We just lost our shirts

I'm on the dole

We ain't for hire

Say what the hell

Say what the hell, hang fire

Hang fire, hang fire, put it on the wire

Doo doo doo

Take a thousand dollars go have some fun

Put it all on at a hundred to one

Hang fire, hang fire, put it on the wire


SHELBY LYNNE lyrics - I Cry Everyday



Hey baby

What's going on with you?

Hey baby

Want to get it on with you.

I've tried so many nights

Don't know what to do.

Hey baby

Got something to say and it is and it is



I cry everyday

I cry everyday, I cry everyday

I cry everyday



Hey Darling

Got a little news for you

Don't need your sympathy

Just want a little care from you



I cry everyday

I cry everyday

I cry everyday

I cry everyday


HUEY LEWIS AND THE NEWS lyrics - Your Cash Ain't Nothin' But Trash



(C. Calhoun)



Walking down the main drag one night

I met a fine chick that looked - just right

She stopped in and I flashed my roll

I told her she could have all of my dough

She turned around, and with a fround

She said this ain't no circus and I don't need a clown

Your cash ain't nothin' but trash

Your cash ain't nothin' but trash

Your cash ain't nothin' but trash

So there ain't no need in your hangin' around



Just to make the hit with that chick

I tried to get a cadillac right quick

The man at the place looked so strange

I had nine hundred bucks and some change

We disagreed, I tried to pleed

He said I ain't no chicken and I don't need your feed



Your cash ain't nothin' but trash

Your cash ain't nothin' but trash

Your cash ain't nothin' but trash

Then brother you're crawling we passed your speed



I'm walking and countin my bucks

The man with the gun said hands up

I tried to get away but I was too slow

He caught me and took all of my dough

I heard him shout, as he cut out

"you really lost nothing what you're crying about?"



Your cash ain't nothin' but trash

Your cash ain't nothin' but trash

Your cash ain't nothin' but trash

And he took my watch and I passed out



I woke in the arms of a big cop

Police station next stop

The judge swung his fist down plunk plunk

Twenty dollar fine 'cause you're drunk

Dig up the dough, and you can go

And all I had was a buffalo



Your cash ain't nothin' but trash

Your cash ain't nothin' but trash

Your cash ain't nothin' but trash

But I sure better get me some more

JOHN PRINE lyrics - Far From Me



As the cafe was closing

On a warm summer night

And Cathy was cleaning the spoons

The radio played the "Hit Parade"

And I hummed a long with the tune

She asked me to change the station

Said the song just drove her insane

But it weren't just the music playing

It was me that she was trying to blame.



[Chorus:]

And the sky is black and still now

On the hill where the angels sing

Ain't it funny how an old broken bottle

Looks just like a diamond ring

But it's far, far from me



Well, I leaned on my left leg

In the parking lot dirt

And Cathy was closing the lights

A June bug flew from the warmth he once knew

And I wished for once I weren't right

Why we used to laugh together

And we'd dance to any old song.

Well, ya know, she still laughs with me

But she waits just a second too long.



[Chorus]



Well, I started the engine

And I gave it some gas

And Cathy was closing her purse

Well, we hadn't gone far in my beat old car

And I was prepared for the worst.

"Will you still see me tomorrow?"

"No, I got too much to do."

Well, a question ain't really a question

If you know the answer too.



[Chorus]


FRANKIE VALLI AND THE FOUR SEASONS lyrics - I've Got You Under My Skin



I've got you under my skin

I've got you deep in the heart of me

So deep in my heart, that you're really a part of me

I've got you under my skin



I've tried so not to give in

I've said to myself this affair never will go so well

But why should I try to resist, when baby will I know so well

That I've got you under my skin



I'd sacrifice anything come what might

For the sake of having you near

In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night

And repeats, repeats in my ear



Don't you know you fool, you never can win

Use your mentality, wake up to reality

But each time I do, just the thought of you

Makes me stop before I begin

'Cause I've got you under my skin


CHICAGO lyrics - Fancy Colours



(R. Lamm)



Going where the orange sun has never died

And your swirling marble eyes shine

Laughing

Burning through the light

Bittersweet the drops of life

Memories only fading

Fancy Colours

Fancy Colours

All we ever did see

When we're down at the sea

We see things so very bright at the sea

Fancy Colours

Fancy Colours

All we ever can do

The morning covered with dew

We do things so very fine at the dew

Fancy Colours

Fancy Colours

All we ever do hear

The world whether we're hear or there

We hear things so very fine when we're there

STEVE WINWOOD lyrics - Well All Right



(Norman Petty, Buddy Holly, Jerry Allison and Joe B. Mauldin)



Well all right, so I've been foolish.

Well all right, let people know

About the dreams and wishes that you wish

In the night when lights are low.



[Chorus:]

Well all right, well all right,

You know we live and love with all our might.

Well all right, well all right,

You know our lifetime love will be all right.



Well all right, so I'm not working.

Well all right, let people say

That those foolish kids can't be ready

For the love that comes their way.



[Chorus]



[Repeat First Verse]



[Chorus]


GREEN DAY lyrics - Last Of The American Girls



She puts her makeup on

Like graffiti on the walls of the heartland

She's got her little book of conspiracies

Right in her hand

She is paranoid Like

Endangered species headed into extinction

She is one of a kind

She's the last of the American girls



She wears her overcoat

For the coming of the nuclear winter

She is riding her bike

Like a fugitive of critical mass

She's on a hunger strike

For the ones who won't make it for dinner

She makes enough to survive

For a holiday of working class



She's a runaway of the establishment incorporated.

She won't cooperate

She's the last of the American girls



She plays her vinyl records

Singing songs on the even of destruction

She's a sucker for

All the criminals breaking the laws

She will come in first

For the end of the western civiliazation

She's an endless war

Like a hero for the lost cause

Like a hurricane

In the haert of the devastation

She's a natural disaster

She's the last of the American girls



She puts her makeup on

Like graffiti on the walls of the heartland

She's got her little book of conspiracies

Right in her hand

She will come in first

For the end of western civilization

She's a natural disaster

She's the last of the American girls

DION AND THE BELMONTS lyrics - Runaround Sue



Here's my story, sad but true

It's about a girl that I once knew

She took my love then ran around

With every single guy in town

Ah, I should have known it from the very start

This girl will leave me with a broken heart

Now listen people what I'm telling you

A-keep away from-a Runaround Sue



I miss her lips and the smile on her face

The touch of her hair and this girl's warm embrace

So if you don't wanna cry like I do

A-keep away from-a Runaround Sue



Ah, she likes to travel around

She'll love you but she'll put you down

Now people let me put you wise

Sue goes out with other guys

Here's the moral and the story from the guy who knows

I fell in love and my love still grows

Ask any fool that she ever knew, they'll say

Keep away from-a Runaround Sue



She likes to travel around

She'll love you but she'll put you down

Now people let me put you wise

Sue goes out with other guys

Here's the moral and the story from the guy who knows

I fell in love and my love still grows

Ask any fool that she ever knew, they'll say

Keep away from-a Runaround Sue


DOLLY PARTON lyrics - God Won't Get You



(Dolly Parton)



Sometimes in my sleep I hold you close against my skin

Wakin' up I wish that I could sleep and dream again

'Cause only in my dreams can I know how it might have been

But cheaters never win, Their Heartaches never end



But sometimes I get crazy as lovers often do

Trying to please him and wondering if she's pleasin' you

Though they have ever right to any part of us they choose

I still live just for you and our secret rendezvous



Torn between two lovers on the jukebox

I'm thinkin' how I could have wrote that song

Wonderin' if God loves us when we're cheatin'

Oh, but why he lets us feel things if it's wrong

And I guess I should be gingin' "Rock of Ages"

"Amazing Grace" and some of those good songs

But my cheatin' heart will tell on me tomorrow

If you think that God won't get you, well you're wrong



Thou shalt not commit, it's written in the ten

The spirit's always willin', but the flesh is weak again

And you're as close to heaven as I might ever fly

And angel in disguise

A wrong that feels so right



Torn between two lovers just keeps playing

I don't want to be right if lovin' you is wrong

I'm wonderin' if God loves us when we're cheatin'

Oh, but why we have to feel things if it's so wrong

I guess I should be singin' "Rock of Ages"

"Amazing Grace" and some of those good songs

But my cheatin' heart will tell on me tomorrow

If you think that God won't get you, well you're wrong



My cheatin' heart will tell on me tomorrow

If you think that God won't get you, well you're wrong


ALPHAVILLE lyrics - Seeds



(Lyrics: Gold/music: Gold-Lloyd-Mertens)



Little darling

On the factory floor

Sirens are wailing

They are calling you like lovers

They always want more

Department 27

Deep down below

You are piecing together

The seeds of the world

Ashen roses

Growing darkness

Starving children

Someday you stand up and dance

Glittering sunlight,

Keep on shining

And put them together

The seeds of the world

Binding all the flowers of the world

Start bursting into millions of colours

Unfold all the flags of the nations

Kiss me again, let the battle start

Little darling

What have you done

Hearts are breaking

Live without ending,

Numberless men

Never relaxing

I have to see it all

Fire, desert, cold and arid

And all in a flash

Binding all the flowers of the world

Start bursting into millions of colours

Unfold all the flags of the nations

Kiss me again, let the battle start


FRANK SINATRA lyrics - Only The Lonely



(Sammy Cahn, Jimmy Van Heusen)



Each place I go only the lonely go

Some little small cafe

The songs I know only the lonely know

Each melody recalls a love that used to be



The dreams I dream only the lonely dream

Of lips as warm as May

That hopeless scheme only the lonely scheme

That soon somewhere you'll find the one that used to care



And you recall each fun time

Those picnics at the beach when love was new

It well could be the one time

A hopeless little dream like that comes true



If you find love hang on to each caress

And never let love go

For when it's gone you'll know the loneliness

The heartbreak only the lonely know


SEALS & CROFTS lyrics - Yellow Dirt



(Lyrics by James Seals; music by James Seals & Dash Crofts, 1971)



He gets up every morning and he lights upon the floor.

He migrates to the washroom and he opens up the door.

The whiskers on his chin tells him he's in, and then

Through the paste and the soap, sees an image without hope.

He's a broom of a fellow, an oddity in parenthesis.

So infected with disease of yellow dirt down in his soul.



He usually spends his spare time counting hairs upon his arm.

The ants upon the cupboard to his thinking add their charm.

He never starts to notice that his shoes are full of lead.

He's dead, through cough. Labored breathing, he is seething.

He's a sandwich of a fellow, an all-spread personality.

So infected with disease of yellow dirt down in his soul.



Last night a thousand stars were his to mold like clay, and so

In one split second's anger he did reach and take a hold.

He saw himself a captain way off in some kissin' situation.

That would have made his father proud, he laughs out loud.

He conceals the hurt. He reveals the dirt.

The yellow dirt down in his soul. The yellow dirt down in his soul.

The yellow dirt down in his soul. The yellow dirt down in his soul.


RICK SPRINGFIELD lyrics - Saint Sahara



Come on, close the book and turn out the light

Put your plans aside tonight

Yeah I know it's not wrong but it sure isn't right

An angel bids a last 'goodnight' to us



Come on Sahara, give us a smile.

You've walked this far with us lets walk one more mile

Hey Saint Sahara, beautiful child.

You left us all wanting, you left us beguiled

Mi Ma Mi Mi Ma Mi Mi Ma Mi Mi Ma Mi



You take your solace where you find it

Dress the wound and tightly bind it

You so want the past but you can't rewind it

And she sleeps with angels tonight



Come on Sahara, give us that smile

You've walked this far with us lets walk one more mile

Hey Saint Sahara, beautiful child.

You played you best hand but the Joker was wild

Mi Ma Mi Mi Ma Mi Mi Ma Mi Mi Ma Mi

Come on Sahara Hey Saint Sahara



Come on Sahara, you fought the good fight.

Baby let go, everything's all right



Come on Sahara Hey Saint Sahara

Hey Saint Sahara Yeah Come on Sahara beautiful child

LOU REED lyrics - Why Can't I Be Good



Why can't I be good

Why can't I act like a man

Why can't I be good

And do what other men can

Why can't I be good

Make something of this life

If I can't be a god

Let me be more than a wife



Why can't I be good

Why can't I be good

Why can't I be good

Why can't I be good



I don't want to be weak

I want to be strong

Not a fat happy weakling

With two useless arms

A mouth that keeps moving

With nothing to say

An eternal baby

Who never moved away



Why can't I be good

Why can't I be good

Why can't I be good

Why can't I be good



I'd like to look in the mirror

With a feeling of pride

Instead of seeing a reflection

Of failure a crime

I don't want to turn away

To make sure I cannot see

I don't want to hold my ears

When I think about me



Why can't I be good

Why can't I be good

Why can't I be good

Why can't I be good



I want to be like the wind

When it uproots a tree

Carries it across an ocean

To plant in a valley

I want to be like the sun

That makes it flourish and grow

I don't want to be

What I am anymore



Why can't I be good

Why can't I be good

Why can't I be good

Why can't I be good



I was thinking of some kind of whacked out syncopation

That would help improve this song

Some knock 'em down rhythm

That would help it move along

Some rhyme of pure perfection

A beat so hard and strong

If I can't get it right this time

Will a next time come along



Why can't I be good

why can't I be good

Why can't I be good

Why can't I be good

THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS lyrics - Nine Bowls Of Soup



Nine bowls of soup are balanced on the end

Of a rake on an ichthyosaur's head

Woah, woah, woah, woah!

Oh good, none of them spilled



Please can I have one Mr. Ichthyosaur?

No, you can't, I'm saving them for friends

But you don't have any friends

Yes, I do

No, you don't

Yes, I do. Now be quiet

I'm trying to concentrate



Nine bowls of soup on the wings of an airplane

Flown by an ichthyosaur

Woah, woah, woah!

Lucky thing they didn't all spill



Is there one that's kind of extra? Can I have it for my own?

No, you can't. I can't break up the set

But the soup is getting cold

No, it isn't

Yes, it is

No, I don't know what you're talking about



Nine bowls of soup are balanced on a snake

That the ichthyosaur is taking for a walk

Woah, woah, woah, waah!

Phew, I really thought that that was it



I just think that you have more than you can handle

What's all the soup for anyway?

I didn't think you even really liked soup

Why do you need nine bowls?

Why do you need

Why do you need nine?



If I tell you what these are for, then will you stop bothering me?

Nine bowls of soup

Arranged a certain way

Are some RADAR dishes

In a very large array

And the message they detect

From across the Milky Way

Says the aliens want to join us for lunch



I hope you guys like soup


DAVID BOWIE lyrics - New Angels Of Promise



New Angels of Promise

We despair

We are the dead dreams

We take the blame

Take us to the edge of time

Take us to the edge of time

We are the fabulous lovers

I'm a blind man and she's my eyes



[CHORUS]

Suspicious minds

You didn't feel us coming

In this lonely crowd, it's always time

[x2]



New Angels of Promise

we despise

Don't fall apart now

We are the silent ones

Take us to the edge of time

Take us to the edge of time

We are the tabular lovers

We listen to the storm



[CHORUS]


LEVON HELM lyrics - Tennessee Jed



(Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter)



Cold iron shackles

And ball and chain

Listen to the whistle

Of the evenin' train



You know you

Bound to wind up dead

If you don't head back

To Tennessee Jed



Rich man step on

My poor head

When you get back

You better butter my bread



You know you

Well, it's like I said

You better head back

To Tennessee Jed



Tennessee, Tennessee

There ain't no place I'd rather be

Baby, won't you carry me

Back to Tennessee



I woke up

But feelin' mean

Went down to play

The slot machine



The wheels turned around

Baby, the letters read

You better head back

To Tennessee Jed



I dropped four flights

And cracked my spine

Honey, come quick

With the iodine



Catch a few winks

Down, under the bed

And then we head back

To Tennessee Jed



Tennessee, Tennessee

There ain't no place I'd rather be

Baby, won't you carry me

Back to Tennessee



I run into

Charlie Fog

Blacked my eye

And he kicked my dog



My doggie turned to me

And he said

"Let's head back

To Tennessee Jed"



Drink all day

Baby, rock all night

The law come to get you

If you don't walk right



Catch a few winks

Down, under the bed

Then we head back

To Tennessee Jed

There ain't no place I'd rather be

Baby, won't you carry me

Back to Tennessee



Tennessee, Tennessee

There ain't no place I'd rather be

Baby, won't you carry me

Back to Tennessee

JOE SIMON lyrics - Get Down, Get Down



Everybody won't you get on the floor

(Get on the floor and let the good time roll)

We got a kung fu bumpin' 'til it's time to go

(Get on the floor and let the good time roll)

Come on get down, get down

Grab your partner and dance to the beat

(Get on the floor and let the good time roll)

Let the music control your feet, now

(Get on the floor and let the good time roll)

Come on and party, baby

(Get down, get down)

Get down all night long

Baby, why don't ya

(Get down, get down)

Me and you

(Get down, get down)

I know you (have??) it

(Get down, get down)

Why don't you get on the floor and let the good time roll

Come on and let it roll

I feel the beat, I feel the heat



Everybody won't you clap your hands and dance

(Get on the floor and let the good time roll)

Come on

All you got to do is move your body and shake what you can

Oh, baby

(Get on the floor and let the good time roll)

Oh, let me tell ya your lookin' good now

(Get on the floor and let the good time roll)

Come on, baby

(Get down, get down)

Get down

Come on and get down all the way, baby

(Get down, get down)

I know you (have??) it

(Get down, get down)

(?????) operator

(Get down, get down)

Why don't you get on the floor and let the good time roll



Everybody is lookin' good, now

(Get down on the floor and let the good time roll)

Oh ya

And your doin' that kung fu bumpin' like I know you could, now

(Get down on the floor and let the good time roll)

It ain't now harm, yal

(Get down on the floor and let the good time roll)

It ain't no harm to do the bump

(Get down on the floor and let the good time roll)

But someone out there is doin the devil bump, look out

(Get down on the floor and let the good time roll)

Go ahead and do your thing, baby

(Get down on the floor and let the good time roll)

Come on and bump, baby

(Get down on the floor and let the good time roll)

Come on and kung fu, kung fu, kung fu, kung Fu bumpin', now

(Get down on the floor and let the good time roll)

Oh, your doin' it tonight, baby

(Get down on the floor and let the good time roll)

You got me feelin' good tonight, oh baby

(Get down on the floor and let the good time roll)

I ain't felt this good, honey

(Get down on the floor and let the good time roll)

Since I don't know when

(Get down on the floor and let the good time roll)

I might not, baby

(Get down on the floor and let the good time roll)

Oh honey, I might not feel this good again

(Get on the floor and let the good time roll)

You see that's why right now

(Get down on the floor and let the good time roll)

I'm goin' to get out on the floor

(Get down on the floor and let the good time roll)

I'm goin' to do my own thing tonight

(Get down on the floor and let the good time roll)

You see somebody doin' it like this

(Get down on the floor and let the good time roll)

Now the kool cats are doin' it like this

(Get down on the floor and let the good time roll)

Ha, ha, eh

(Get on the floor and let the good time roll)

Come on, come on, come on, eh

Come, come, come on

Come on, oh baby


MOTORHEAD lyrics - Lost Johnny



You only get a single chance

The rules are very plain,

The truth is well concealed inside

The details of the game,

You can hear it coming,

You can see it from afar,

It's pale and it glimmers

Like a faded movie star



And out there in the castle,

They're trying to make us scream,

By sticking thumb tags in a flash

And cancelling the dream,

Can you find the Valium,

Can you bring them soon,

Lost Johnny's out there,

Baying at the moon



The time has come for you to choose,

You'd better get it right,

Pulling girls with sharp white teeth

Are waiting in the night,

But you want to really get some,

It surely can't be hard,

There's always trouble lurking

When you leave your own backyard



Underneath the city,

The alligators sing,

Of how the fool he cannot dance,

When someone cuts the strings,

Can you find the morphine,

Try to be so brief,

Lost Johnny's out there,

Looking for relief



That laddie looks so evil,

And you know he really tries,

But every time he makes a play,

That battle compromise,

And shall I find their underwear,

From a store where no-one goes,

She makes it big in dugs,

On the strength of what she shows,



And here inside the waiting room,

The radio still screams,

And we're shooting children,

To murder all young things,

Can you find your credit card,

For god's sake make it quick,

Lost Johnny's out there,

Trying to turn a trick


LEO SAYER lyrics - Magdalena



(Danny O'Keefe)



Magdalena sits in her chair

Speaking to the mass

She talks in splicing splinters

She laughs like breaking glass

She said that she would have me spirit her away

Stealing all my images

'Til there's nothin' left to say

Oh, Magdalena

Nothing like the saint you are

Your love is like a razor

My heart is just a scar

Oh, Magdalena

Nothing like the saint you are

She tells me that she wants me

Then she tells me not to bother

She tells me that I couldn't hold

A candle to her father

She knows that she's got me when I start to rave about

And she'll just smile and flash her eyes

And blow the candle out

Oh, Magdalena

Oh, ho, ho, Magdalena

Nothing like the saint you are

Magdalena lying there

Could make a dancer stumble

Make a preacher bite his tongue

And leave him with the mumbles

And if you think I'm crazy babe

Or that I'm kidding you

Just pay your dues and lose your blues

When she gets her tongue in you

Oh, Magdalena

Nothing like the saint you are

Your love is like a razor

My heart is just a scar

Oh, Magdalena

Nothing like the saint you are

Well I can't be forgotten

And I can't be ignored

You find me with my poems

And my songs

But if upon your journey you're turning to L. A.

Won't you take this little red-haired girl along?

Oh, Magdalena

Nothing like the saint you are

Your love is like a razor

My heart is just a scar

Oh, Magdalena

Nothing like the saint you are

GILBERT O'SULLIVAN lyrics - Make My Day



I've never known a girl lovelier than you

If I did I would be lying and that I Wouldn't do

Come on have fun make my day tonight



Nothing really matters when you are in love

It's the only institution I'm not weary of

Don't be lonely make my day tonight



I know it, isn't easy to find romance

Know it can indeed, seem like you've no chance

When the land beneath you feels like no man's

Don't give up just persevere

Nothing in this world is ever certain

When your only love goes for a burton

Don't be too despondent just think positively



I've never known a girl lovelier than you

If I did I would be lying and that I wouldn't do

Come on have fun make my day

Don't be lonely make my day

I'm sure that you'll make my day tonight



I know it isn't easy to find romance

Know it can indeed seem like you're no chance

When the land beneath you feels like no mans

Don't give up just preserve

Nothing in this world is ever certain

When you're only love goes for a burton

Don't be too despondent there's more fish in the sea



I've never known a girl lovelier than you

If I did I would be lying and that I wouldn't do

Come on have fun make my day

Don't be lonely make my day

I'm sure that you'll make my day tonight


CAT STEVENS lyrics - Home In The Sky



Come the morning Ill be far from here

Slowly rising in another sphere



Old world goodbye cause Ill be

Home in the sky in the morning bye bye



Stars are crying over my old house

But Im still breathing happy above the clouds



Home

Home at last because

All of the bad times are past



Music is a lady that I still love

Cause she gives me the air that I breathe



Music is a lady that I still need

Cause she brings me the food that I eat



Come the morning Ill be far from here

Slowly rising in another sphere

Home, world goodbye

Cause Ill be home in the sky in the morning

Bye Bye

PRINCE lyrics - 1+1+1 Is 3



If u ain't got no place 2 stay

Come on baby 'round this way

Stay with me baby

But let me tell u how it's gonna b



There's a theocratic order.

There's a theocratic order now



This is how it's gonna b

If u wanna b with me

Ain't no room 4 disagree

1+1+1 is 3



Take ur time and think it thru

If this is what u wanna do

I ain't really that hard 2 please

Cuz 1+1+1 is 3



Stroke ur hair a hundred times

Let me c what I can find

D u know about the order.

Do u know about the order, now?



The Banished Ones:



"We are the Banished Ones and we have come 2 dance

If u will not let us, we'll have 2 kick ur pants!"



Who's that knockin' on r door?

Didn't we throw u out b4?

I'm 'bout 2 get rowdy!

I'm 'bout 2 get rowdy, now!

Make me wanna do something.



We could b surrounded in the palace

"Everybody wants 2 get u!"

I don't care



How many y'all just came 2 dance?

Let me c u shake ur pants

We don't give a duck what u got on

U just need 2 work that sexy body all nite long

Where them Banished Ones at?

"Said they 'round the back"

Don't cut 'em no slack

"I'm gon' tap, tap, tap"

But should I keep this party going?

"Brotha u know that!"



Moneyapolis, sing-Rainbow Children, raise ur hands

If we can't do it, nobody can!



Here they come y'all

Rally 'round the palace now

U know what we got 2 do!



How'd that fool get up in here?

Snagglevoice.


ALPHAVILLE lyrics - And I Wonder



(Gold)



I'm going out, I don't know why, there's no need at all

A kind of turbulence outside and I can't resist the call

I hear a siren, I might be late,

Fire flickers on a barricade

A piece of smack melts in my brain

As I watch the police deploy



And I wonder

Did not expect to meet you here

In the middle of the fights

I should have known, you got it all

You wanna burn tonight

Out in the riots you looked somehow devine

You gotta kill a cop sometime

A random motion that's what you are

These days are so bizarre



And I wonder to see your face in a place like this

Reflecting the flames

You see the market there across the square

It's closing time but all the doors are broken

Why don't we step inside, it's free for everyone

You see it's paradise, well alright

And I wonder to see your face in a place like this

Reflecting the flames


DOLLY PARTON lyrics - Hillbilly Willy



(Dolly Parton)



Now Little Will was from the hills way back in the sticks

He got his reputation from turning on them country chicks

He drove a souped up hot rod car buddy he could really

Knock those little girls off their feet yeah

Hillbilly Willy

He'd talk that ole sweet lovers talk with a hillbilly drawl

Willy wasn't much for looks he was only five feet tall

But when he talked that ole sweet talk he drove those little girls silly

They stood in line waiting for their time to court

Hillbilly Willy



Then this country cyclops who measured six foot nine

Came up to Little Will and said, "You stole that little girl of mine"

Then there was a awful brawl boy it was a dilly

When the fighting stopped there on top stood

Hillbilly Willy



Now the moral of the story is to be a lover you gotta be tough

Even if you're just five feet tall you gotta be able to strut your stuff

Now to all you lovers in radioland, if your love life's a little chilly

Bear in mind the rough, tough kind like

Hillbilly Willy



Just bear in mind the rough, tough kind like

Hillbilly Willy

GOLDEN EARRING lyrics - Angelina



(G. Kooymans)



Angelina, why are you lying there

And not playing with your blond curling hair

I hear no music, I see no light,

I even see no light in your eyes, your eyes open wide

Staring at me, strange as never before

Is this what you meant, when I shut the door

Oh my God why did you do this to me

I'm back my love, I couldn't be free



Angelina, it's me my love

Finally found out I can't live without your love



Angelina, and your name echoes in the air

Then silence will be long, everything's so rare

As if the world exists no more

My world has been destroyed when I shut the door

And when you're lying there, oh Angelina

I kiss your lips and I caress your hair

Oh my God why did you do this to me

I'm back my love, I couldn't be free


RUFUS AND CHAKA KHAN lyrics - Tell Me Something Good



(Stevie Wonder)



You ain't got no kind of feeling inside

I got something that'll sho nuff set yo' stuff on fire

You refuse to put anything before your pride

What I got will knock your pride aside



[Chorus:]

Tell me something good

Tell me that you like it, yeah

Tell me something good

Tell that you love me, yeah



Got no time is what you're known to say

(Got no time, no, got no time)

I'll make you wish there was 48 hours to each day

Your problem is you ain't been loved like you should

What I got to give will sho nuff do you good


ANNIE HASLAM lyrics - Chains And Threads



In troubled times

I am surrounded by conflict

The world I see

Bound with the chains of limitation

And in this I'm confined

Filled with all that I am

I find all of my frailties

I can see no end



In troubled thoughts

I am aware of hesitation

My mind I see

Bound with the chains of reservation

And in this I'm restrained

Filled with less than I am

I find all of my frailties

I can see no end



(As you are, what you know

As you live, you will grow

Now that you have the key

You will come to be free

All the questions you ask

And the keys from the past

Say the answer is you

And you hold all the answers)



I'd grow if I knew

(All this you will find)

The way



(With peace in time

You will find haromony weaving

A tapestry woven with threads of expectation

So grow with your love

Fill with all you can be

Your heart will encompass

All you may need to be free)


DOLLY PARTON lyrics - After The Goldrush



(Neil Young)



Well I dreamed I saw the knight in armor coming

Saying something about a king

There were peasants singing and drummers drumming

And the archer split the tree



There was a fanfare blowing to the sun

That was floating on the breeze

Look at mother nature on the run

In the twenty-first century

Look at mother nature on the run

In the twenty-first century



I was lying in a burned out basement

With the full moon in my eyes

I was hoping for replacement

When the sun burst through the sky



There was a band playing in my head

And I felt like I could cry

I was thinking about what a friend had said

I was hoping it was a lie

Thinking about what a friend had said

I was hoping it was a lie



Well I dreamed I saw the silver spaceships flyin'

In the yellow haze of the sun

There was laughing, crying and colors flying

All around the chosen one



All in a dream, all in a dream, the loading had begun

Flying mother nature's silver seed to a new home in the sun

They were flying mother nature's silver seed to a new home


BONNIE RAITT lyrics - Nick Of Time



A friend of mine, she cries at night

And she calls me on the phone

Sees babies everywhere she goes

And she wants one of her own



She's waited long enough she says

And still he can't decide

Pretty soon she'll have to choose

And it tears her up inside



She is scared,

Scared to run out of time



I see my folks are getting on

And I watch their bodies change

I know they see the same in me

And it makes us both feel strange



No matter how you tell yourself

It's what we all go through

Those lines are pretty hard to take

When they're staring back at you



Oh Oh Oh, scared you'll run out of time



When did the choices get so hard

With so much more at stake

Life gets mighty precious

When there's less of it to wa-a-a-aste



Mmm-m-m-m-m-m



Mmmmmmm, scared you'll run out of time



Just when I thought I'd had enough

And all my tears were shed

No promise left unbroken

There were no painful words unsaid



Yo-o-o-u came along and showed me

I could leave it all behind

You opened up my heart again

And then much to my surprise



I found love, baby, love in the nick of time

(Love in the nick of time)

I found love darlin', love in the nick of time

(Love in the nick of time)

I found love baby, love in the nick of time



Ooooooo-ooo-ooo-whoo-ooo

Yeah baby



Uhhhhh-huh-uh



Found love...

In the nick of time...



Thought I'd given up...

Given up baby...



Oh ooo wo ooo wo...

SPINAL TAP lyrics - Tonight I'm Gonna Rock You Tonight



Little girl, it's a great big world but there's

Only one of me

You can't touch cause I cost too much but

Tonight I'm gonna rock you

Tonight I'm gonna rock you



Tonight!

You're sweet but you're just four feet

And you still got your baby teeth

You're too young and I'm too well hung

Tonight I'm gonna rock you

Tonight I'm gonna rock you



Tonight!

You're hot, you take all we got, not a dry

Seat in the house

Next day, we'll be on our way

Tonight I'm gonna rock you

Tonight!



Little girl, it's a great big world but there's

Only one of me


THE KINGSTON TRIO lyrics - Carrier Pigeon



(Jules Fox/Sam Friedman)



Carrier pigeon, carrier dove, fly to my darlin' and take her my love.



Take her a message. Tell her I'm blue. Tell her I'm lonely but faithful and true.

Carrier pigeon, carrier dove, fly to my darlin' and take her my love.



Tell her I miss her. Say I was wrong. Tell her that we've been parted too long.

Carrier pigeon, carrier dove, take her my heart and return with her love.



Wrote her and phoned her, wired her, too. She never answered, so I'm countin' on you.

Carrier pigeon, carrier dove, fly to my darlin' and bring back my love.



Wantcha to tell her one little thing. Say that I'm holdin' that old weddin' ring.

Carrier pigeon, carrier dove, fly to my darlin' and bring back my love.



Fly away, pigeon, fly away, dove. Come back, pigeon. Back with my love.


LINDA RONSTADT lyrics - Crazy



(Willie Nelson)



I'm crazy

Crazy for feeling so lonely

I'm crazy

Crazy for feeling blue

I know you'd love me as long as you wanted

Then someday leave me for somebody new



Worry

Why should I let myself worry

Wondering

What in the world did I do



I'm crazy

For thinking that my love could hold you

I'm crazy for crying

And crazy for trying

And I'm crazy for loving you



Worry

Why do I let myself worry

Wondering

What in the world did I do



I'm crazy

For thinking that my love could hold you

I'm crazy for trying

And crazy for crying

And I'm crazy for loving you


CHRIS ISAAK lyrics - Big Wide Wonderful World



Look at the sky,

They're calling me to her.



It's a big wide wonderful world

Wonderful world,

I've just been give in.

It's a big wide wonderful world,

Wonderful world,

Yeah, that we live in.



And I know, yeah baby, I know

We're gonna keep on swinging.

Everything's changed

Now that I'd met her.



It's a big wide wonderful world

Wonderful world,

I've just been give in.

It's a big wide wonderful world

Wonderful world,

Yeah, that we live in.



And I know, yeah baby, I know

It's only keep on swinging.

We're gonna keep on swinging.

Swinging now!

Gonna keep on swinging!



Look at the sky

Gonna keep on singing!



Oh, 'cause I know, yeah baby, I know

It's a big wide wonderful world!

PETER, PAUL AND MARY lyrics - There But For Fortune



(Phil Ochs)



Show me the prison, show me the jail

Show me the prisoner whose face is growin' pale

And I'll show you a young man with so many reasons why

There but for fortune, go you or go I

You and I.



Show me the alley, show me the train

Show me the hobo who sleeps out in the rain

And I'll show you a young man with many reasons why

there but for fortune, go you or go I

You and I.



Show me the famine, show me the frail

Eyes with no future, that show how we've failed

And I'll show you the children with so many reasons why

There but for fortune, go you or go I

You and I.



Show me the country where bombs had to fall

Show me the ruins of buildings once so tall

And I'll show you a young land with many reasons why

There but for fortune, go you or go I

You and I.

You and I.



There but for fortune, go you or go I

You and I.


BRYAN ADAMS lyrics - This Side Of Paradise



I'm ridin' in the back seat - nine years old

Starin' out the window countin' the highway poles

And then I get to thinkin' - that it don't seem real

I'm flyin' through the universe in a '69 oldsmobile

And I wanna know what they're not tellin'

And I don't wanna hear no lies

I just want something to believe in

Ah - it's a lonely lonely road I'm on

This side of paradise

I'm ridin' in the back seat - black limousine

Starin' out the window at a funeral scene

And then I get to thinkin' - and it don't seem right

I'm sittin' here safe and sound and someone I love is gone tonight

I wanna know what they're not tellin'

And I don't wanna hear no lies

I just want something to believe in

Ah - it's a lonely, lonely road we're on

This side of paradise

There ain't no crystal ball - there ain't no santa claus

There ain't no fairy tales

There ain't no streets of gold

There ain't no chosen few - ya it's just me and you

And that's all we got ya...that's all we got to hold on to

Ya this side of paradise

I remember bein' a little boy in the backseat - nine years old

Always askin' questions - never did what I was told

And then I get to thinkin' like I always do

We wander 'round in the darkness but every now and then

A little light shines through

I want to know what they're not telling

I don't wanna hear no lies

I just want something to believe in

Ah - it's a lonely lonely road we're on

This side of paradise

DEF LEPPARD lyrics - You Got Me Runnin'



Hang on

Yeah

Ha ha ha ha ha

I don't care too much

For your backstabbin' and side steppin'

You're all sweet talk, you're all lust

You're the kind, yeah, I don't trust

I gotta get out, step aside

Before you damage my pride



Let me through don't spoil my view

I gotta get away, away from you

Oh no no never thought I'd feel so low



You got me runnin'

You got me runnin'

I ain't gonna hide



And yesterday everything seemed okay

Yeah you better run and hide away

Oh you better hide



You're out, out on the street

But I'm back on my feet

I might lose it, so get wise

Stop your usin' and your lies

Oh my friend don't stick around

Your time is up, the chips are down



[Repeat Bridge]



[Repeat Chorus]



And yesterday everything seemed okay

Yeah you better run and hide away

Oh you better hide

You got me runnin' - You got me runnin'

You got me runnin' - You got me runnin'

You got me runnin' - You got me runnin'

You got me runnin', runnin', runnin'



C'mon

Whoah

Oh oh oh

Oh yeah

Runnin' and runnin'

Runnin'

Oh

Watch me run

Runnin', runnin', runnin'



Oh no no never thought I'd feel so low

You got me runnin'

You got me runnin'

I ain't gonna hide



And yesterday everything seemed okay

Yeah you better run and hide away

Oh you better hide



You got me runnin' - You got me runnin'

You got me runnin' - You got me runnin'

You got me runnin' - You got me runnin'



You got me runnin' - You got me runnin'

You got me runnin' - You got me runnin'

You can't say no no more

You got me runnin' - You got me runnin'

You got me runnin' - You got me runnin'


NAZARETH lyrics - Animals



I know what I need I need you

I can't see nothin else all I can see is you

I don't care what they say about my state of mind

I know what's good for me and you are just my kind

We are animals We are animals We are animals We are animals

I know what I want I want you

Shed your cloths forget your codes

You know this is nothing new

I smell your scent I taste your sweat

I feel this passion too

Let's trust our senses not our minds

Lets break all the rules

We are animals We are animals

We are animals We are animals

We are animals

We are animals

Come with me run with me leave this world behind

Come to me come with me I know that we will find

We are animals We are animals

We are animals We are animals

We are animals

We are animals


EVERYTHING BUT THE GIRL lyrics - Fascination



I won't try to stop you

When you speak of the past

Doubt is over now

And I can join in when you laugh

Facination makes us ask for more

Than we'd like to know

I needn't explain

I think you know



Reaassure me when my hearts

Not bold enough to bear her name

If you were in my shoes

And scared I would do the same

And though I may ask

There's no need for past details

Although I may laugh alone

My courage fails

Did you know



See how I've changed now

My heads so clear

Still there are some things

That I don't want to hear

There must be so much I know

That you cannot forget

And I mustn't wish your life began

The day we met



They say as we go remind you

Of when you were here before

So you talk and tell me

You don't think about it anymore

There is something I know

Hasn't quite been left behind

So I'll ask you once again

To prove that I don't mind

To prove that I don't mind


NINE INCH NAILS lyrics - Vessel (Bill Laswell)



I let you put it in my mouth

I let it get under my skin

I let you pump it in my veins

I let you take me from within



They tell us what we can and cannot do

Thinking is what I have this head for

Well, I put you inside of me

But none of that matters anymore



Oh my god, can it go any faster

Oh my god, I don't think I can last here



I am you and you are me

We will never be alone

I have finally found my place in everything

I have finally found my home



We can leave all the past behind

I can see right through the whole facade

I'm becoming something else

I am turning into God



Oh my god, can it go any faster

Oh my god, I don't think I can last here


ERIC CLAPTON lyrics - I Can't Hold Out



(Elmore James)



I just talked to my baby on the telephone,

She said, "Stop what you're doing and baby come on home."



[Chorus:]

I can't hold out,

I can't hold out too long.

I get a real good feeling talking to you on the phone.



You said, "Baby don't you worry, you're my heart's desire.

You know that I love you, I can't stand to see you cry."



[Chorus]



She said, "Baby you can run, you can walk or fly.

You know that I love you, you're my heart's desire."



[Chorus]



I talked to my baby, I talked to my baby.

I talked to my baby, I talked to my baby.

I get a real good feeling talking to you on the phone.

MUDDY WATERS lyrics - My Fault



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



It's my own fault, I don't blame you for treating me the way you do

It's my own fault, I don't blame you for treating me the way you do

When you was deep in love with me, at that time, little girl, I didn't love you



You used to make your paycheck and then bring it all home to me

You know I would go up on the corner, make every woman drunk I see

That's my own fault. honey, I don't blame you for treating me the way you do

When you was deep in love with me, at that time, little girl, I didn't love you



You know I used to take you out, little girl, and keep you weeks after weeks

You were so scared to quit me, little darling, I may make a 'fore day creep

That's my own fault, girl, honey, I don't blame you for treating me the way you do

When you was deep in love with me, at that time, little girl, I wouldn't be true

(Tell her everything, man)


THE DOORS lyrics - Light My Fire



You know that it would be untrue

You know that I would be a liar

If I was to say to you

Girl, we couldn't get much higher



Come on baby, light my fire

Come on baby, light my fire

Try to set the night on fire



The time to hesitate is through

No time to wallow in the mire

Try now we can only lose

And our love become a funeral pyre



Come on baby, light my fire

Come on baby, light my fire

Try to set the night on fire, yeah



The time to hesitate is through

No time to wallow in the mire

Try now we can only lose

And our love become a funeral pyre



Come on baby, light my fire

Come on baby, light my fire

Try to set the night on fire, yeah



You know that it would be untrue

You know that I would be a liar

If I was to say to you

Girl, we couldn't get much higher



Come on baby, light my fire

Come on baby, light my fire

Try to set the night on fire

Try to set the night on fire

Try to set the night on fire

Try to set the night on fire


PETE SEEGER lyrics - Trouble At The Bottom



Some say the trouble's in the Pentagon

Some say the trouble's in the street

Some say the president's a paragon

Where's the trouble at the bottom?



Some say the trouble's the anatomy

Some say the trouble's in the head

Some say the trouble's the psychology

Where's the trouble at the bottom?



[Chorus:]

Trouble, trouble, where's the trouble,

Oh mama, where's the trouble,

Got a headache, seeing double,

Where's the trouble at the bottom?

Trouble, trouble, where's the trouble,

Oh mama, where's the trouble,

Got a headache, seeing double,

Where's the trouble at the bottom?



Some say the trouble's with the principal

Some say the trouble's with the kids

Some say the trouble's the curriculum

Where's the trouble at the bottom?



Some say the trouble's in the textbook

Some say the trouble's the class

Over all the school board fugging up

Where's the trouble at the bottom?



[Chorus]



Some say the trouble's in the family

Some say the trouble's on the job

I say whatever the analogy,

Find the trouble at the bottom.



Some say the trouble's with the system

Some say the trouble's in the class

Karl said the trouble is the upper one,

That is the upper, not the bottom.



[Chorus]


MADONNA lyrics - Supernatural (Original Arms House Mix)



Made your acquaintance late one night

You were floating around

You know you gave me quite a fright

You didn't seem like an ordinary man

More like a ray of light



You transcendentally imposed yourself upon my bed

You know you didn't say very much

I'm out of body and I feel so good in my head

You know I'm really quite touched



I wake up with your fragrance and it's all over me

What cologne do you wear?

I walk around with a smile on my face, 'cause you're close to me

Well I know you're somewhere



[Chorus:]



Gonna take my chance on a different kind of romance

A supernatural thing

Gonna have my fill, it gives me such a big thrill to be with

A supernatural thing



I stay uplifted for quite some time

(or: You say you've lived here for quite some time)

And I'd say that your skills as a lover are very refined

You know just what I want and I don't have to ask

Are you reading my mind?



You're not demanding for a man, that's really quite rare

You're not the least bit obsessed with your hair

You're not upset when I come home later than ten

For a ghost you're a very good friend



[Bridge:]



I've got to be a very careful, never know what the neighbors would say

They already think I'm crazy

I wouldn't like to wake up and find myself in the family way

A ghost baby?



[chorus, repeat]



I can't see you (so hot)

I know you're out there you little rascal

Stop that



[bridge]

[chorus, repeat]



Gonna take my pants off for a different kind of romance

That super-duper naturally big thing

It's outrageously large

(Super-duper, supernatural, so hot, so hot, supernatural)

[fade]


GOO GOO DOLLS lyrics - We'll Be Here (When You're Gone)



(John Rzeznik)



And through the fence I see a ghost

Of a place that used to breathe

You know it choked away the sun

But we still had food to eat



And now everyone is gone

To a place that won't be home

Can they keep their family strong?

Will they make it on their own?



And we'll be standing when you're gone

And we'll be heard again

We missed our chance but not for long

I know somehow we will hold on we'll be here

When you're gone



Then one day we realized

That they couldn't hear our voice

And it's so hard to understand

When it's caught up in the noise



But the ones who fight and die

Are the truth inside the lie

Now it's all built on our backs

And we struggle to survive



And we'll be standing when you're gone

And we'll be heard again

We missed our chance but not for long

I know somehow we will hold on we'll be here

When you're gone

RICKY NELSON lyrics - Windfall



Have you ever heard the windfall

Have you ever heard the leaves call

Take a look inside your feelings

Hear the music as the river sings



And if you've never heard these things

Then love has flown on faceless wings

'Cause that's where love begins, within' you



Have you ever watched an eagle as she flies

Spinning circles in the corner's of the sky

Do you wonder why she's hiding in the night

Does she wonder why you're hiding in the light



And if you've never heard these things

Then love has flown on faceless wings

'Cause that's where love begins, within' you



Have you ever heard the windfall

Have you ever heard the leaves call

Can you feel the truth within' you

Can you see yourself begin to



And if you've never heard these things

Then love has flown on faceless wings

'Cause that's where love begins, within' you



And if you've never heard these things

Then love has flown on faceless wings

'Cause that's where love begins, within' you


SARAH MCLACHLAN lyrics - Loving You Is Easy



Loving you is easy

Loving you is wondrous and pure

I shout it from the rooftops

How long must I wait 'till I see your smile?

Might have been the moonlight

Caught up in the sparkle in your eyes

So wicked and I know I should go slow

But its not in me to wait



'Cause I'm alive and I'm on fire

Shot like a starburst into the sky

Ahh the fury of desire it burns so bright electrifies

You light me up you take me higher



I've been down a long road

I'd become a stranger to myself

Digging in my heals and hoping time might be kinder



If I wait it out

But nothing came from wanting

And I became so small in insecure

Didn't know the cost of all I'd lost till I found it fresh and new

Again, with you



'Cause I'm on fire

Shot like a starburst into the sky

All the fury of desire it burns so bright electrifies

You light me up you take me higher



Loving you is easy

Loving you is wondrous and pure

I shout it from the rooftops

How long must I wait 'till I see your smile?


ELVIS COSTELLO lyrics - Baby's Got A Brand New Hairdo



Baby's got a brand new hairdo, but doesn't she look so nice?

She said everything that she cares to, she's saying it not once but twice

She said it doesn't matter unless I say it matters

Well, I don't care about all that modern jazz

The girl that used to have it, and the girl I still have

She's the girl that used to have it and the girl I still have

Baby's got a brand new hairdo, and doesn't she look so fine?

She said everything that she used to

Except she's picking your heart, not mine

She said "it doesn't matter unless I say it matters"

[?]

I don't care about all that modern jazz

The girl that used to have it, and girl I still have

She's the girl that used to have it, and the girl I still have



Baby's got a brand new hairdo, and doesn't she look so good?

She looks like Billy Boy Arnold, said I wish you would

I wish you would



Baby's got a brand new hairdo, I wonder what's left inside

She used to [?] at med school, before she learned how to be snide

She walks in the place and everybody scatters

I don't care about all the modern girls

She's the girl that I used to have and the girl I still have

She the, she the....


ZUCCHERO lyrics - Non Mi Avrai



Dimmi chi e che come me combattera con lealta

io fuggiro e correro da un'altra notte io me ne

Andro la forza che e dentro di me

E fuoco e terra e inquietudine.

Combattero non perdero l'orgoglio di un guerriero che non muore mai!

Oh Non giudicar tu non devi insinuare,

Con me non giocare

No che non mi arrendo e non mi arrendero mai no,

Tu lo sai che un fiore puo fiorire dal sale

Come un canto che sale

Sono libero e nessuno mi sconfiggera no,

Tu non mi avrai cosi

Dove sono non lo so

Perche va tutto storto non so

Non e il mio posto questo qui

La fuori il mondo mi aspetta si

Combattero e vincero

E tutta l'anima ci mettero

Nessuno mai mi fermera

E' l'onda piena e l'onda che va Oh oh oh oh oh

Come on!

Non giudicar tu non devi insinuare con me non giocare

No che non mi arrendo e non mi arrendero mai, no!

Tu lo sai che un fiore puo fiorire dal sale, come un canto che sale

Sono libero e nessuno mi sconfiggera, no!

Tu non mi avrai cosi! I'm free


JOHN DENVER lyrics - The Chosen Ones



I heard how all the lights went out in memphis

On the death night anniversary of the king

The pretenders talking dirty in the palace

But it doesn't have that old familiar ring



I see there's been some changes in the valley

All the renegades have finally settled down

Now they worship in the temples of their rivals

And desecrate the holy heart of town



Can't you hear all those sweet voices singing

Takin' care of the chosen ones

Can't you hear all those mission bells ringin'

Say a prayer for the chosen ones



I read they're pourin' oil on troubled waters

Yet they cast a giant shadow on the land

Let's spend another night across the border

And bury all our secrets in the sand



Now they claim there is a message in the bible

They swear there is no master and his slave

But the future's lookin' dim for the lonesome cowboy

When the hand that rocks that cradle digs the grave


STEVE EARLE lyrics - Everyone's In Love With You



(Steve Earle)



Everyone's in love with You

Everyone's in love with you

But you don't seem to mind

But it must be tough when you're cleanin' up

Them broken hearts sometimes

Or maybe you just struggle through

And leave 'em where they lie

But everyone's in love with you

In love with you



Everyone's in love with you

They fall down at your feet

And impale themselves knowin' full well

You'll only watch 'em bleed

And they won't stop 'til the final drop

'Cause they think it's what you need

And everyone's in love

In love with you



You want everyone to want you

But you don't want anyone to need you

'Cause baby you don't need to



Everyone's in love with you

Or don't you think I know

The way they all light up when you show up

And you're baskin' in the glow

I'd like to say that I ain't that way

Like all your other fools

But everyone's in love with you

And I am, too

I am, too


PRINCE lyrics - Broken



Till U come back 2 me

There'll be nothing left 2 say, no



Broken

My heart is broken, yeah

Broken, oh baby

My heart's just broken in 2

Until U bring your sweet love, bring it on home 2 me

I'll be your broken-hearted man alone in misery



Broken, Lord

My heart is broken, Lord

Broken, yeah

If U think that I'll beg 4 your sweet love, bring it on home 2 me

I'll be your broken-hearted man alone in misery

Until U bring your sweet pussy, bring it on home 2 me

I'll be your broken-hearted man alone in misery

I don't know what 2 do

Until U bring your sweet honey, bring it on home 2 me

I'll be your broken-hearted man alone in misery



Oh oh, baby

Until U, baby

Until U, baby, Lord

Until U, baby

Until U bring your sweet love, bring it on home 2 me

I'll be your broken-hearted man alone

I'll be your broken-hearted man alone

I'll be your broken-hearted man alone in misery



Cymbals!



Until U bring your sweet love, bring it on home 2 me

I'll be your broken-hearted man alone, baby

Broken-hearted man alone, baby

Broken-hearted man alone in misery


ERNEST TUBB AND LORETTA LYNN lyrics - Who's Gonna Take The Garbage Out



(Johnny Tillotson - Teddy Wilburn)



I take too much abuse to me that's all I ever get

Yeah callin' a man like you a husband is just like callin' old wild cat a pet

You'd better stop your runnin' around say nothin' stop movin' on

But who's gonna take your garbage out when I've packed my bags and gone

Each day you walk off over me can't you take another out

If you start actin' like married man maybe we could find the way to work things out

You'll find your key won't fit the lock if you keep on a keepin' on

But who's gonna take your garbage out when I've packed my bags and gone

I know you think I'm runnin' round and that's why you're so peaked

That's another lie of that same old stuff but I hope you don't expect me to belive

Though after night you don't come back cause you just love the home

But who's gonna take your garbage out when I've packed my bags and gone

[ steel ]

I know you think I'm runnin' round...

Honey who's gonna take your garbage out when I've packed my bags and gone

You're gonna miss me honey gal

Ah you're kiddin'

REBA MCENTIRE lyrics - Out Of The Blue



(Byron Hill/Robert A. Johnson)



Out of the blue

I needed someone to take me

Out of the blue

It seemed I'd always be alone

Till out of the blue came you



Out of the blue

Waiting for a love to take me

Out of the blue

I thought love had passed me by

Till out of the blue came you



Spreading my wings alone I'd fly

That empty sky of blue

Hoping that I would someday find

That someone just like you



Out of the blue

Someone who's love would take me

Out of the blue

I had almost given up

Till out of the blue came you



I thought love had passed me by

Till out of the blue came you


BRENDA LEE lyrics - Papa's Knee



(Richard Supa)



To-a lu a lu a lu Sweet harmony

Only a child on my Papa's knee

Rock-a-bye man, rock-a-bye song

Papa would sing, I'd hum along

I'd climb on his lap and he'd sing to me

Only a child on my Papa's knee



Now Papa would sing, a little off key

But filled me with feelings of sweet harmony

How I'd like to hear that old tune again

And rock to and fro in lullaby land



To-a lu a lu a lu Papa would moan

Oh takes me back to my childhood home

To-a lu a lu a lu Sweet harmony

Only a child on my Papa's knee



Now sometimes alone,

I remises, surrender my thoughts about love ones I miss

A child so young

I love to think of this

And I can recall how Papa rocked me



To-a lu a lu a lu Papa would moan

Oh takes me back to my childhood home

To-a lu a lu a lu Sweet harmony

Only a child on my Papa's knee


BOB DYLAN lyrics - I Feel A Change Comin' On



Well I'm lookin the world over

Looking far off into the east

And i see my baby comin'

She's walking with the village beast

I feel a change comin' on

And the last part of the day's already gone



We got so much in common

We strive for the same old ends

And I just can't wait

Wait for us to become friends

I feel a change comin' on

And the fourth part of the day's already gone



Well life is for love

And they say that love is blind

If you wanna live easy

Baby, pack your clothes with mine

I feel a change comin' on

And the fourth part of the day's already gone



Well now what's the use in dreaming

You got better things to do

Dreams never did work for me anyway

Even when they did come true



You are as porous as ever

Baby you can start a fire

I must be losing my mind

You're the object of my desire

I feel a change comin' on

And the fourth part of the day's already gone



I'm listening to Billy Joe Shaver

And i'm reading James Joyce

Some people they tell me

I got the blood of the land in my voice



Everybody got all the money

Everybody got all the beautiful clothes

Everybody got all the flowers

I don't have one single rose

I feel a change comin' on

And the fourth part of the day's already gone

T. REX lyrics - Wind Quartets



The wind quartet howls softly

My jeep hand strokes her necklace

Crusted, crammed with old Etruscan gold.



Her bird head torn with summer

Inspects a Spartan runner

Robbing time a chosen Prince of Speed



My goblet drenched with Autumn

Tears for my dead cat Ena

Silver Surfer sorcerer of spray.



She headed deep in chartreuse

A falcon glimpse of white teeth

Separated by lace cinnamon folds.



We hid and rid in hansom

Cab wrenched from lost Byzantium

Lordlett who once held the earth In chains.


PRINCE lyrics - New Power Generation (Pt. II)



We r the new power generation)

Don't pick my apples, don't pick my peaches

(we r the new power generation)

Leave my tree alone...leave it alone...leave it alone

(we r the new power generation)

Don't u look at me

(we r the new power generation)

If you're sad and u know it and u think u want to blow it

Let your feelings out, love is there



Just go!



Kid! Yo Kid!

I got ta do this, I got the noise, I got ta do this

So pump the big noise, c'mon in the house...



This here rap's about the true confession

If ya listen close u 'bout to learn a lesson

U must know failure before success

Now this is the failure I must confess (well...)

I was hanging onto life trying deal with this

Playing the games, almost got dismissed

Cocaine was the thing that I took on

And nowhere was the place that I was going (preacher, cmon on)

I must tell the truth, I cannot lie

I was headed 4 the kill, steal, destroy, and die

Top 2 the bottom 2 bottom 2 top

Success is where I'm headed there ain't no doubt

Success is something that we all want

But the truth is what we need to reach our point

I had to give this message the so-called truth

I hope it's somthing in it that's there 4 u

{on top of:

Love to the left of me, love to the right

Come on make a noise, somebody

Party tonight! (oh yeah!)}

Like I told ya before, I'm a tell ya again

Success is something that's deep within

So remember the truth you cant go wrong

The flesh is weak and the spirit is strong

I know it to do this rap, and I know its right

'cause I did it in the name of Jesus Christ

(cmon somebody lets party tonite)

Party tonight! (oh yeah!)



You want me 2 what?? (shake!)

What? (shake! shake!)

Awww, right



The New Power Generation has just taken control


DEAN MARTIN lyrics - Winter Romance



I never will forget the station where we met

You dropped your skis a happy circumstance

No one would have guessed we had started

Started a winter romance



And all the way to Maine

On that enchanted train

The passing scenery didn't get a glance

We held hands completely light hearted

Off to a winter romance



We danced that night by candle light

The world was white with snow

The way we felt we never felt

The snow could melt and go

But though the snow is gone the romance lingers on

And those that said it didn't stand a chance

Will know when they see us together

That love's not been controlled by the weather

And all of our summers we'll have our winter romance



(Though the snow is gone the romance lingers on)

(And those that said it didn't stand a chance)

Will know when they see us together

That love's not been controlled by the weather

And all of our summers we'll have our winter romance

PAUL ANKA lyrics - I Don't Like To Sleep Alone



I don't like to sleep alone

Stay with me, don't go

Talk with me for just a while

So much of you to get to know

Reaching out touching you

Leaving all the worries far behind

Loving you the way I do

My mouth on yours and yours on mine

Marry me, let me live with you

Nothing's wrong and love is right



Like a man said in his song

"Help me make it through the night"

Loneliness can get you down

When you get to thinkin' no one cares

Lean on me

(And I'll lean on you)

Together we will see it through



No, I don't like to sleep alone

It's sad to think some folks do

No, I don't like to sleep alone

No one does

Do you



(I don't like to sleep alone)

No one does

Do you


MARTHA AND THE VANDELLAS lyrics - Dancing In The Street

Callin' out around the world

Are you ready for a brand new beat?

Summer's here and the time is right

For dancin' in the street

Just as long as you are there

So come on every guy

Grab a girl, everywhere around the world

A chance for folks to meet

They'll be laughin', singin' and music swingin'

We're dancin' in the street

Let's form a big strong line

Get in time we're dancin' in the street

(Dancin' in the street)



[Fades]



Across the ocean blue, me and you


ELOY lyrics - The Light From Deep Darkness



Out of the depths of nothing

In nobody's time

The earth was created

The first morning starts

Sun appears in the sky

Winds stroking waves

Evening shadows tumble down

Eclipse the sun of life

Herald the night

Burning lights arise

People take their places

Dance a merry round

They live without fear

Help each other in their way through life

Tomorrow we will see

They forget life's goal

Distroying their future



If you see in the sky above

The sun is black

You see up there in white

The moon gets red

You fall down on your knees

The earth is gone

So far you will never see it again



They came from darkness

Right into my light

Unknown fields of signs in my mind

They made contact with my consciousness

Told me words of other worlds

Come let us see - distance of feelings

Anxious dreams so near

I feel full of fear



I tell you about my experience

Trust in your power

Follow the light

It's so easy to find it around you

Guess where it comes from

Hold it in your hand

Check up your thinking throw off your doubts

Learn to swim in the sea of confidence

I'm understandig the meaning of their words

They told me when I was young



But the day will come

When the sun is black

And the moon is red

The earth is going down

See the day come,

thousands of people run

Recalling former times

I know so well

The time is near

The light of darkness shines

Till the end of our time

From this day
