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
(Clayton Moss, Peter Noone and Josh Macrae)
Trash my guitar - I got a lot to spare

What you hear is money talking
So love me now
Love me here
Love me good honey

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

There ain't no place I'd rather be
Baby, won't you carry me

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
Come on
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,
The sky just got bluer.
Look at those eyes,
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.
Look at the sky,
Things just got better.
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.
Swinging now!

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
My heart's just broken in 2
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
Lonely
I'm so lonely
Lonely
I don't know what do 2
Until U bring your sweet pussy, bring it on home 2 me
I'll be your broken-hearted man alone in misery
Cryin'
I'm just a-cryin'
I'm just a-cryin', baby, all night
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
There dancin' in Chicago (dancin' in the street)
Down in New Orleans (dancin' in the street)
In New York City (dancin' in the street)

They'll be swingin' and swayin' and records playin'

Aw, it doesn't matter what you wear
Just as long as you are there
So come on every guy
Grab a girl, everywhere around the world

This is an invitation across the nation
A chance for folks to meet
They'll be laughin', singin' and music swingin'
We're dancin' in the street
Philadelphia, P. A. (dancin' in the street)
Baltimore and D. C. now (dancin' in the street)
Can't forget the Motor City (dancin' in the street)

We're dancin' in the street (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
