MEMPHIS MINNIE lyrics - What's The Matter With The Mill
(Memphis Minnie)
KJ:
(spoken:
Say Minnie!
Where you going?
MM:
(spoken:
What you want, Kansas Joe?
I'm going to the mill; what do you think?
Have my corn ground
KJ:
For what?
Ahw, that old mill is done broke down
I'm just from down there
MM:
How do you know?
Ahw, and it broke you down
KJ:
Ahw, no, I went to get my corn ground
It done broke down
Yeah, it done broke down)
MM:
What's the matter with the mill?
Done broke down?)
MM:
Can't get no grinding, tell me what's the matter with the mill
Well, I had a little corn, I put it in a sack
Brought it to the mill and come right back
What's the matter with the mill?
What's the matter with the mill?
I can't get no grinding
Tell me what's the matter with the mill
KJ:
It done broke down
It done broke down
MM:
(spoken: Ahw, grind it)
Now listen here folks, I don't want no stuff
You can't bring me my meal, bring me the husks
What's the matter with the mill?
What's the matter with the mill?
I can't get no grinding
Tell me what's the matter with the mill
KJ:
It done broke down
It done broke down
MM:
Well, my papa sat and cried, my brother did, too
They both been to the mill, they can't get nothing to do
What's the matter with the mill?
What's the matter with the mill?
I can't get no grinding
Tell me what's the matter with the mill
KJ:
It done broke down
It done broke down
Now listen here folks, I want you to bear this in mind
If you're going to the mill, you're just losing time
What's the matter with the mill?
What's the matter with the mill?
I can't get no grinding
Tell me what's the matter with the mill
KJ:
It done broke down
It done broke down
(spoken: Aww, grind it again)
THE TEMPTATIONS lyrics - I Heard It Through The Grapevine
I bet you're wondering how I knew.
Ah, what you're plans to make me blue.
With some other guy you knew before.
Between the two of us, you know I love you more.
Dennis:
It took me by surprise I must say, when I found out yesterday.
Oh, I heard it through the grapevine. (Heard it through the grapevine)
Not much longer would you be mine. (Not much longer would you be mine)
Oh, I heard it through the grapevine. (Heard it through the grapevine)
And I'm just about to lose my mind.
I know a man ain't supposed to cry.
But these tears I can't hold inside.
Losin' you would end my life you see.
'Cause you mean that much to me.
Eddie:
You could have told me yourself,
Oh, that you love someone else.
Instead I heard it through the grapevine. (Heard it through the grapevine)
Not much longer would you be mine. (Not much longer would you be mine)
Oh, I heard it through the grapevine. (Heard it through the grapevine)
Oh, and I am, and I am just about lose my mind.
Ah, boom, boom, boom,...(ect.)
Dennis:
People say believe half of what you see.
Oh, and none of what you hear.
Whoa, I jus' can't help being confused.
If it's true please tell me dear.
Eddie:
Do you plan to let me go
For the other guy you left me for
Don't you know that I heard it through the grapevine. (Heard it through the grapevine)
Not much longer would you be mine. (Heard it, heard it, I heard it, yes I heard it)
Oh, I heard it through the grapevine. (Heard it, heard it, I heard it, yes I heard it)
Oh, heard it through the grapevine.(Heard it, heard it, I heard it, yes I heard it)
I heard it through the grapevine. (Heard it, heard it, I heard it, yes I heard it)
Woo, I heard it through the grapevine. (Heard it, heard it, I heard it, yes I heard it)
I heard it through the grapevine. (Heard it, heard it, I heard it, yes I heard it)
Oh, heard it throught the grapevine.(Heard it, heard it, I heard it, yes I heard it)
NEIL DIAMOND lyrics - It Comes And Goes
It comes and goes
The feeling I've been feeling
When she comes it grows
I know it's just a feeling
But when she's around
I get the feeling
That I'm in some other world
Like some other girl
And when she calls her name
I don't know what it is
But it's just not the same
I don't know what's been missing
But I know it's gone
I feel it from
My head way down to my toes
It comes and goes
She still really cares
And I'm not being smart
I might of been imagining all the time
Who's to say the feeling
I feel in my heart
Won't turn out to be all in my mind
It hurts me
It comes and goes
It comes and goes
Oh baby
She still really cares
And I'm not being smart
I might of been imagining all the time
Who's to say the feeling
I feel in my heart
Won't turn out to be all in my mind
And yet when we're alone
She makes me feel like some old toy
That's been outgrown
As tho' I were just some old boy
She hardly known
I can't help feeling
How the feeling comes and goes
She comes and goes with someone new

THE BYRDS lyrics - Precious Kate
(Fowley / Battin)
Get up sing your praises from the bottom of my heart
I see your smiling face every time I turn around
You're a changing lady with so many mystic moods
No wonder that I love you the way I seem to do
Precious Kate, it's our fate
To meet inside the center of a Californian earthquake
It is my desire to capture all your love
Giving you the happiness you can only get from above
I love beeing near you and how I love to hear you
And I'd be the man you'd have to send away
Precious Kate...
Perhaps I want you too much, at times I tried too hard
But I've been lonely so long, my soul is near to starve
You do what you want to do, don't want it end up here
Just wanna say I love you, that's what you want to hear
JIMMY BUFFETT lyrics - Overkill
Legal problems gettin' thick and hazy
Look at the people gettin' rich and crazy
Locked up in mansions on the top of the hill
Someone needs to tell them 'bout overkill
Overkill, overkill
Such a megalo modern problematic ill
Climb too fast and shove too hard
You'll be pushin' up the daisies in the old boneyard
I went to find the truth in the Himalayas
Bundled up half-frozen munchin' Milky Way-uhs
Found a shaman in a diaper with a poppy pot
When I asked if he was cold he said "I just think hot"
Overkill, overkill
Such a megalo modern problematic ill
Climb too fast and shove too hard
You'll be pushin' up the daisies in some old boneyard
Out in Hollywood the paper money rolls
They feed their egos instead of their souls
A million here, a million there
A mindless corporate dance
Gettin' paid for fuckin' off in the south of France
They don't do the shows
But they act like the stars
They fly around in G-4's and suck on big cigars
It ain't about the talent
It ain't about the skill
It's all about the silly stupid horseshit deal!
Overkill, overkill
Such a megalo modern problematic ill
Climb too fast and shove too hard
You'll be pushin' up the daisies in the old boneyard
I got no corporate gig
I got no guru
I don't own ocean front in Honolulu
You write the big checks
But I pay your bills
Now someone's got to tell you 'bout overkill
Overkill, overkill
Such a megalo modern problematic ill
Climb too fast and shove too hard
You'll be pushin' up the daisies in some old boneyard
Overkill, overkill
Such a megalo modern problematic ill
Climb too fast and shove too hard
You'll be pushin' up the daisies in some old boneyard
BADFINGER lyrics - To Say Goodbye
It's late. I know it's time we were letting go
But I can't bring myself to say goodbye
It's been so long. There's no use in holding on
But I can't bring myself to say goodbye
I know so well what I have to do
But my heart gets in the way
I'm standing here. I'm just a fool in love
What can I do or say
I know. I see, but now that you're here with me
I can't bring myself to say goodbye
But I can't bring myself to say goodbye
I know so well what I have to do
But my heart gets in the way
I'm standing here. I'm just a fool in love
What can I do or say
I can't bring myself to say goodbye
I can't bring myself to say goodbye
ALPHAVILLE lyrics - Swallow Paradise
(Gold)
Johnny's on a sailboat called "the 7 seas"
And he's sailing to the islands of mysteries
And there's something in his eyes i can't define
A reflection of a different space and time
And jennifer's a shy girl, sitting by the window pane
Gazing at the writing of the falling rain
But she's not waiting for a breakthrough of the sun
She's just sitting there and watching, having fun
In swallow paradise, so long, bye bye...
...
Dosing in the shadows at the foot of a tree
And watching a swallow fly by
It's streaking past by chance than getting lost again
While everything is merging with the light
That shines on swallow paradise
So long, bye bye...
SANDRA lyrics - Seal It Forever
(Cretu-Hirschburger)
Can I find the words to say
How I feel tonight
We are astrange
We can turn the time
Just look at me
I'm so scared
Would you be here
if I was sad, would you do?
I wanna be your guiding light
I wanna stay right by your side and
Seal it forever with love
I wanna say how much i care
Wanna tell you I'll be there
And seal it forever with love
Will you let me down someday
With a heart that burned
I call on you
We must live and learn
Just look at me
I love you
I still believe in what we do
I count on you
I wanna be your guiding light
I wanna stay right by your side and
Seal it forever with love
I wanna say how much i care
Wanna tell you I'll be there
And seal it forever with love
Baby I know that you matter in my eyes
A long time I was wondering why
Maybe I was follish and child
But now I know that's true love
Love I can deny it
Now my life is in your hands
Seal it forever
I wanna be your guiding light
I wanna stay right by your side and
Seal it forever with love
I wanna say how much i care
Wanna tell you I'll be there
And seal it forever with love

THE POGUES lyrics - Tombstone
(Jem Finer)
The night is dark, the moon is full
Across the blood red plain
Every step and every breath
Brings me nearer home
The spirits watch me on my way
They whisper on the wind
And when the dawn lights up the sky
I'll see my land again
A hot wind blows the scrub and dust
across the barren land
Trees stand bare like skeletons
The mountains all torn down
The water holes are dry as bones
No birds are singing now
And faraway a city stands
Tombstones against the sky
Jem Finer
LOU REED lyrics - Oh Jim
All your two-bit friends they're shootin' you up with pills
They said that it was good for you, that it would cure your ills
I don't care just where it's at
I'm just like an alley cat
And when you're filled up to here with hate
Don't you know you gotta get it straight
Filled up to here with hate
Beat her black and blue and get it straight
Do, do, do, do, do, do,
When you're lookin' through the eyes of hate
All your two-bit friends they're ask you for your autograph
They put you on the stage, they thought it'd be good for a laugh
But I don't care just where it's at
'Cause honey I'm just like an alley cat
And when you're filled up to here with hate
Don't you know you gotta get it straight
Filled up to here with hate
Beat her black and blue and get it straight
Uh huh
Oh Jim, how could you treat me this way
Hey hey hey
How could you treat me this way?
Oh Jim, how could you treat me this way
Hey hey
How could you treat me this way?
You know you broke my heart
Ever since you went away
Now you said that you love us
But you only make love to one of us
Oh Jim, how could you treat me this way
You know you broke my heart
Ever since you went away
When you're looking through the eyes of hate
Oh, oh, oh, oh
When you're looking through the eyes of hate
Oh, oh, oh, oh...

THE KINKS lyrics - Fancy
Fancy, if you believe in what I believe in,
Then we'll be the same, always.
Fancy, just look around thee
If you will fancy all the girls you see, always.
My love is like a ruby that no one can see,
Only my fancy, always.
No one can penetrate me,
They only see what's in their own fancy, always.

ERIC CLAPTON lyrics - Give Me Strength
(Eric Clapton)
Dear Lord, give me strength to carry on.
Dear Lord, give me strength to carry on.
My home may be out on the highway,
Lord, I've done so much wrong
But please, give me strength to carry on.
Dear Lord, give me strength to carry on.
Dear Lord, give me strength to carry on.
My home may be out on the highway,
Lord, I've done so much wrong
But please, give me strength to carry on.

BARRY MANILOW lyrics - You're Leaving Too Soon
You're leaving too soon
You oughta try believin' just for a day or two
You're tryin' to be wise and that's a foolish thing to do
Close the door
You're leaving too soon
You'll never learn to fly unless you learn to fall
You'll never know the answers 'till you've heard the call
You can't turn your back until you face it all
Take my word
You're leaving too soon
You're leaving too soon
You oughta try believin' just for a day or two
You're tryin' to be wise and that's a foolish thing to do
Close the door
You're leaving to soon
Babe you shouldn't go until you know just what I mean
Now, "happy ever after", I have never seen
But still we might come closer than we've ever been
Come over here
You're leavin' too soon
You're leavin' too soon
You oughta try believin' just for a day or two
You're tryin' to be wise and that's a foolish thing to do
Close the door
You're leaving too soon
You're leaving too soon
CHER lyrics - You Don't Have To Say You Love Me
When I said I needed you
You said you would always stay
It wasn't me who changed but you
And now you've gone away
Don't you see that now you're gone
And I'm left here on my own
That I have to follow you
And beg you to come home
[Chorus:]
You don't have to say you love me
Just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever
I will understand
Believe me believe me
I can't help but love you
But believe I will never tie you down
Left alone with your memory
Live seems dead and so do we
All that left is loneliness
There's nothing left to feel
[Chorus x2]
NAZARETH lyrics - Empty Arms, Empty Heart
Now you say you're leaving
Leaving me without a friend
How can you do what you're doing to me
How can you say you want to be free of me
Now you say it's over
And your walkin' out my door
Tellin' me you're going away for good
Never coming back and i'll never see you again
Chorus:
You left me here with my empty arms
My empty rooms
And my empty heart is crying
Nothing is left for me now you're gone
It just ain't right and i know it can't last i'm dying
Repeat 1

SUPERTRAMP lyrics - The Meaning
Just look at the comfort that you call your home,
Just kidding yourself that you're never alone;
Well, maybe there's something, just one thing, you shouldn't have said,
So, you better beware.
And, you better get, and you better get, light in your head
And, you better get, and you better get, peace in your head.
If you wanna get, if you wanna get high.
You're watching the movie go blistering by
Just look at the sadness, I wish I could die;
Well, maybe there's something, just one thing, that I should have said.
Well, it better be said.
Has the record been, has the record been holding your heart,
It's beginning to, it's beginning to squeeze you apart.
Don't you wanna get, don't you wanna get high.
You're holding the world in the palm of your hand,
Watch'ya tellin' your children you don't understand
If you know what the meaning is *7
Meaning is *3
Oh-oh so you better beware,
So you better get, so you better get light in your head,
So you better get, so you better get peace in your bed;
Don't you wanna get, don't you wanna get high
Just look at the madness that glows in your eyes,
Don't you frighten the children, who'll steal your disguise,
If you know what the meaning is *8
If you know what the answer is *4
If you know what the meaning is *4

JOHN DENVER lyrics - Postcard From Paris
(Webb)
Dear friend of mine, the weather's fine. Today I saw some ruins of the Roman world's decline.
And I climbed all those Spanish steps, you've heard of them, no doubt.
But Rome has lost its glory, I don't know what it's about.
I wish you were here (when the shadows fall and all the rushing traffic stills).
I wish you were here (And the bells are ringing on the seven hills).
I make my way to a small caf©, I wonder what you did today.
Wish you were here, dear one at home, I just flew in from Rome.
And Paris is a postcard, all decked out in color chrome.
And so I climbed the Eiffel Tower and prayed at Notre Dame,
but I just can't find the romance and I wonder why I came.
I wish you were here (On the Champs Elysees, lovers walking hand in hand).
I wish you were here (They take one look at me and seem to understand).
This city of light is a lovely sight, the first bright star I see tonight.
Wish you were here, now I write this from the plane, drinking cheap champagne.
Wondering why two people got so far apart.
I wish you were here (Here in London where the rain is pouring down).
I wish you were here (On this airplane headed back to New York town).
I'll never leave you alone again, I'm coming home, but until then,
Wish you were here, wish you were here, wish you were here.
RAINBOW lyrics - Sensitive To Light
I was feelin' rather good
Should've touched some wood
Here she comes again
Reachin' out to bend my ear
She's worth another look
All the time it took
Pleasin' to the eye
How can I just disappear, oh
It ain't clear, no
She's a bright and shining star
But I just must be sensitive to light
Oh I just might, yeah
I could have let her in
Give her just a spin
Let her think it's love
Better rise above it all
She's knockin' at the door
Seems to want some more
Never gets the clue
What am I to do she'll fall
And she might call, oh no
She's a bright and shining star
But I just must be sensitive to light
Oh, I just know
She could do me well
I can always tell
She's ready for the kill
But I think that I will go, no
Sure I'm gonna see
Something just for me
Till it comes along
When it's feelin' wrong I'll know
Gotta take it slow, yeah
She's a bright and shining star
But I just must be sensitive to light
Oh, I might, yeah
She's a bright and blazing star
But I just must be sensitive to light, yeah
Sensitive to light, Ooooh

PET SHOP BOYS lyrics - Jack The Lad
Lawrence in the desert
How was he to know?
Under so much pressure
from the men back home
Play with fire you must be mad
Are you only Jack the lad?
Play with guns you must be bad
or hiding something, Jack
Telling lies in public
Breaking codes at home
Underneath the blankets
for another role
Tell these lies you must be mad
Are you only Jack the lad?
To feast with panthers every night
you must be careful, Jack
Don't let them try to restrain you
This is your only religion
Don't let them try to detain you
You're not the only fool
We all fall, l even Jack the lad
We all fall, even Jack the lad will fall
Philby in the desert
looking for a phone
waiting on the pavement
for a call from home
Play with fire you must be mad
Are you only Jack the lad?
Turn your back on friends you had
They must have hurt you, Jack
Don't let them try to restrain you
This is your only religion
Don't let them try to detain you
You're not the only fool
We all fall, even Jack the lad
We all fall, even Jack the lad will fall
KMFDM lyrics - Unfit
You are the sweetest disease for me
I can't hear you say please to me
There's nothing you cannot say to me
Come on get down and pray with me
There's no feeling inside of me
You'll see nothing can hide in me
You'll find nothing can feed on me
Don't look, listen or believe in me
Get down
Shut up
Come on in
It's time to take your medicine
I'm unfit
I'm unfair
You can't feel
And I don't care
Get down
Shut up
Come on in
It's time to take your medicine
I'll wipe a stripe on you tonight
I'll tee you high and you will fly

ROGER WATERS lyrics - Amused To Death
Doctor Doctor what is wrong with me
This supermarket life is getting long
What is the heart life of a colour TV
What is the shelf life of a teenage queen
Ooh western woman
Ooh western girl
News hound sniffs the air
When Jessica Hahn goes down
He latches on to that symbol
Of detachment
Attracted by the peeling away of feeling
The celebrity of the abused shell the belle
Ooh western woman
Ooh western girl
And the children of Melrose
Strut their stuff
Is absolute zero cold enough
And out in the valley warm and clean
The little ones sit by their TV screens
No thoughts to think
No tears to cry
All sucked dry
Down to the very last breath
Bartender what is wrong with me
Why I am so out of breath
The captain said excuse me ma'am
This species has amused itself to death
Amused itself to death
Amused itself to death
We watched the tragedy unfold
We did as we were told
We bought and sold
It was the greatest show on earth
But then it was over
We oohed and aahed
We drove our racing cars
We ate our last few jars of caviar
And somewhere out there in the stars
A keen-eyed look-out
Spied a flickering light
Our last hurrah
And when they found our shadows
Groups 'round the TV sets
They ran down every lead
They repeated every test
They checked out all the data in their lists
And then the alien anthropologists
Admitted they were still perplexed
But on eliminating every other reason
For our sad demise
They logged the only explanation left
This species has amused itself to death
No tears to cry
No feelings left
This species has amused itself to death
Amused itself to death
PORTER WAGONER AND DOLLY PARTON lyrics - Between Us
Let's start by stopping long enough to talk things over
Since there's a new love burning between us
With open-minded understanding between us
Let's both feel free to talk of this new love
Let there be no deep dark secrets between us
Let's never hide behind a false disguise
Let there be no hidden feelings between us
An honest love is a love that will survive
In our love let's share a friendship between us
Always close enough to talk things out
Let's be honest with ourselves and with each other
And our love will never know mistrust or doubt
Let there be no deep dark secrets...
An honest love is a love that will survive
JOHN AND MARY lyrics - The Open Window
(John Lombardo/Mary Ramsey)
She walked away with the ring in her hand
The back door open scattered coins on her night stand
The room around her so silent and still
The echoes of the voices lingered from a time
When so long ago and far away
How sweet the fiddle bow did play
The smiles around the table as they talked intimately
When she would leave them her children alone
Their cries and protests made her want to stay back home
In isolation she worked into night
Her hands all calloused by the twisted vines she'd fight
Then she'd think of times so long ago
The dinner embers still aglow
The smiles around the table as they talked intimately
The window was open, the daughter was pale
The steam pipes were broken and her hand
Froze to the rail
When so long ago and far away
How sweet the fiddle bow did play
The smiles around the table as they talked intimately
The grief lay all around her
No food, heat, just war
She looked in the tarnished mirror, her glowing eyes
Traveled to a place
Where they would drink and dance on dusty florid days
The little boy sat and polished his shoes
He'd rub them with a cloth so shined he couldn't lose
A small green vase for his mom he wished to win
To bring the life back to the face that's always been
Full of love and life a sparkle lay
A mother's tear to make her stay
The sky grew dark, the rain clouds pour
She wouldn't see her anymore
So long ago and far away, how sweet the fiddle bow did play
The smiles around the table as they talked intimately
The window was open, the daughter was pale
The steam pipes were broken and her hand
Froze to the rail

KANSAS lyrics - Song For America
(Kerry Livgren)
Virgin land of forest green, dark and stormy plains, here all life abounds
Sunlit valley, mountain fields, unseen in the rain, here all life abounds
No man rules this land, no human hand has soiled this paradise
Waiting patiently, so much to see, so rich in Earth's delights
Painted desert, sequined sky, stars that fill the night, here all life abounds
Rivers flowing to the sea, sunshine pure and bright, here all life abounds
No man rules this land, no human hand has soiled this paradise
Waiting patiently, so much to see, so rich in Earth's delights
So the maiden lies in waiting, for the sails to reach the shore
Land of beauty and abundance, innocent, you opened wide your door
Wanderers found the waiting treasure, full of gifts beyond their measure
Milk and honey for our pleasure.....
Across the sea there came a multitude, sailing ships upon the wave
Filled with visions of Utopia, and the freedom that they crave
Ravage, plunder, see no wonder, rape and kill and tear asunder
Chop the forest, plow it under.....
Highways scar the mountainsides, buildings to the sky, people all around
Houses stand in endless rows, sea to shining sea, people all around
So we rule this land, and here we stand upon our paradise,
Dreaming of a place, our weary race is ready to arise.
ELVIS PRESLEY lyrics - Silent Night
(Mohr - Gruber)
Silent night, holy night.
All is calm, all is bright.
'Round yon virgin mother and child.
Holy infant so tender and mild.
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace.
Silent night, holy night.
Shepherds quake at the sight.
Glorious strains from Heaven afar
Heavenly Hosts sing alleluia.
Christ the Saviour is born,
Christ the Saviour is born.
GUNS 'N' ROSES lyrics - Right Next Door To Hell
I'll take a nicotine, caffine, sugar fix
Jesus don't ya git tired of turnin' tricks
But when your innocence dies
You'll find the blues
Seems all our heroes were born to lose
Just walkin' through time
You believe this heat
Another empty house another dead end street
Gonna rest my bones an sit for a spell
This side of heaven this close to Hell
Right next door to hell
Why don't you write a letter to me yeah
I said I'm right next door to hell
An so many eyes are on me
Right next door to hell
I got nowhere else to be
Right next door to hell
Feels like the walls are closing in on me
My mamma never really said much to me
She was much too young and scared ta be
Hell "Freud" might say that's what I need
But all I really ever get is greed
An most my friends they feel the same
Hell we don't even have ourselves to blame
But times are hard and thrills are cheaper
As your arms get shorter
Your pockets get deeper
Right next door to hell
Why don't you write a letter to me yeah
I said I'm right next door to hell
An so many eyes are on me
Right next door to hell
I never thought this is where I'd be
Right next door to hell
Thinkin' time'll stand still for me
Fuck you
Bitch
Not bad kids just stupid ones
Yeah we thought we'd own the world
An gettin' used was havin' fun
I said we're not sad kids just lucid ones yeah
Flowin' through life not collectin' anyone
So much out there
Still so much to see
Time's too much to handle
Time's too much for me
It drives me up the walls
Drives me out of my mind
Can you tell me what this means...huh?
RUFUS AND CHAKA KHAN lyrics - Losers In Love
(David Wolinski and Danny Seraphine)
Losers - losers - losers - losers
The moment I saw your face
Your eyes swept me away
The moment I heard your voice
I knew we'd touch someday
But we're losers in love
Afraid of what we feel
Please don't turn away
Just because I'm beeing real
'Cause I've been through this before
And I don't want to be a loser in love
Loser - loser
I don't want to be
Loser - loser
I know it's not my time so I'll be on my way
I'll never forget your smile
And I won't forget this day
'Cause we're losers in love
In a time of empty dreams
Just two losers in love
Afraid of what we feel
Please don't turn me away
'Cause I don't want to be losers in love

JOHNNY TILLOTSON lyrics - Poetry In Motion
(Paul Kaufman and Mike Anthony)
When I see my baby
What do I see
Poetry
Poetry in motion
Poetry in motion
Walkin' by my side
Her lovely locomotion
Keeps my eyes open wide
Poetry in motion
See her gentle sway
A wave out on the ocean
Could never move that way
I love every movement
And there's nothing I would change
She doesn't need improvement
She's much too nice to rearrange
Poetry in motion
Dancing close to me
A flower of devotion
A swaying gracefully
Whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whooooooooa
Poetry in motion
See her gentle sway
A wave out on the ocean
Could never move that way
I love every movement
There's nothing I would change
She doesn't need improvement
She's much too nice to rearrange
Poetry in motion
All that I adore
No number-nine love potion
Could make me love her more
Whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
AMY GRANT lyrics - Doubly Good To You
(Rich Mullins)
If you see the moon
Rising gently on your fields
If the wind blows softly on your face
If the sunset lingers
While the cathedral bells peal
And the moon has risen to her place
You can thank the Father
For the things he has done
Thank Him for the things He's yet to do
And if you find a love that's tender
If you find someone who's true
Thank the Lord
He's been doubly good to you
If you look in the mirror
At the end of a hard day
And you know in your heart you have not lied
If you gave love freely
If you earned an honest wage
And if you've got Jesus by your side
You can thank the father
For the things He has done
And thank him for the things He's yet to do
And if you find a love that's tender
If you find someone who's true
Thank the Lord
He's been doubly good to you
You can thank the father
For the things He has done
And thank him for the things He's yet to do
And if you find a love that's tender
If you find someone who's true
Thank the Lord
He's been doubly good to you
You can thank the father
For the things He has done
And thank him for the things He's yet to do
And if you find a love that's tender
If you find someone who's true
Thank the Lord
He's been doubly good to you
Thank the Lord
He's been doubly good to you
DAVID BYRNE lyrics - The Gates Of Paradise
I am nothing like my sister
I am nothing like my mom
You can't see me in my father
Wonder where did I come from?
And the laws of men are not the laws of heaven
And angel's breath is like the desert wind
And terrorists are acting out of love, sweet love
To bring us home again
It's a sin to seek perfection
It's a sin to help the poor
It's a sin to hold convictions
For none of them are true
And the laws of men are not the laws of heaven
And angel's breath is like the desert wind
And terrorists are acting out of love, sweet love
To bring us home again
Beware of good intentions
And the passion in their eyes
For none of them can open
The gates of paradise
JOHN LENNON lyrics - God
God is a Concept by which
we measure our pain
I'll say it again
God is a Concept by which
we measure our pain
I don't believe in magic
I don't believe in I-ching
I don't believe in Bible
I don't believe in Tarot
I don't believe in Hitler
I don't believe in Jesus
I don't believe in Kennedy
I don't believe in Buddha
I don't believe in Mantra
I don't believe in Gita
I don't believe in Yoga
I don't believe in Kings
I don't believe in Elvis
I don't believe in Zimmerman
I don't believe in Beatles
I just believe in me...and that reality
The dream is over
What can I say?
the Dream is Over
Yesterday
I was the Dreamweaver
But now I'm reborn
I was the Walrus
But now I'm John
and so dear friends
you'll just have to carry on
The Dream is over
JIMMY BUFFETT lyrics - Nobody From Nowhere
(Tommy Womack, Will Kimbrough)
I'm Nobody from Nowhere
That You've ever heard of anyway
Ain't no city, way down there
You could've heard a pin drop anytime of day
But I'm not sorry no I'm not sad
Though it might take a whole day just to drive down here and visit
Not to worry, It's not too bad
Nothin' much to do but that ain't a hardship really is it
[Chorus:]
Just waitin' for a car to drive by
Just so we can say hello (hello!)
Starin' at a starry night sky
Dreaming of somewhere to go
'til that day comes I'll be there
Alone without a care
Nobody, Nobody from Nowhere
I'm Nobody from Nowhere
You've ever heard of anyway
Ain't no reason you should care
There's a P. O. box and 4-way stop and farms and fields and cows
[Chorus:]
Waitin' for a car to drive by
Just so we can say hello (hello!)
Starin' at a starry night sky
Dreaming of somewhere to go
'til that day comes I'll be there
Alone without a care
Nobody, Nobody from Nowhere
[Guitar solo]
[Chorus:]
Waitin' for a car to drive by
Just so we can say hello (hello!)
Starin' at a starry night sky
Dreaming of somewhere to go
'til that day comes I'll be there
Alone without a care
Nobody, Nobody from Nowhere
Nobody, Nobody from Nowhere

ART GARFUNKEL lyrics - All My Love's Laughter
(Jimmy Webb)
All My Love's Laughter
All my love's faces
She comes in the morning
Her cloak in her arms
She's following after
The King of all Places
And your tenderest warnin'
Could bruise all her charm
But don't lose your heart
To that beautiful sinner
Who walks without shining a light
She stands in the shade
And the sun is there in her
But you'll never know til it's night
All my love's softness,
All my love's graces
She carries all things
In her tiny white glove
She hides all her lostness
In satins and laces
And everyone says
She's searching for sweet love
But don't try to hold on
To Satan's proud lady
Who stands with her flock
all alone on the hill
Her stockings are hung
And her eyes are so shady
She's winning, and you never will.
MADNESS lyrics - Inanity Over Christmas
(Thompson)
Hello, everyone out there. This is Carl and the rest of Madness
We'd just like to bring you a bit of Christmas cheer
Please remember to keep a smile on your face till the New Year
Hello, this is Woody. And we've got a little song for you. Merry Christmas
1, 2, 3, 4
Hiya, Merry Christmas everyone, Mark here. I'm going to play a bit of bass for you now.
Hello, this is Chris, Happy Christmas
Hi, Lee Kix here, filling your stocking
I play sax
But also, I sing at the same time
Baffling, eh?
Well, it's jingling bells, it's Christmas time
As Santa fetches his sack
Snowdrop glitter falls from the skies
To settle upon each and everyone's back
Chimney sweeps take to the streets
In the ongoing situation
Pages freeze upon your pension book
And up flies the flag of inflation
But oh this time I'll be waiting up by the chimney stack
On this coldest year since brrrr, up up up above a reindeer's back
Stop off at the Rock of Gibraltar
Tea under the blue lagoons of Malta
Wrap up warmer in Warsaw
Cruise over the flats of Alaska
And all this time I'll be waiting up by the chimney stack
On this coldest year since brrrr, up up up above a reindeer's back
I hope you've enjoyed this song so far.
This is Suggs, and now I am going to take it away
OK, lads, get closer together
And all this time I'll be waiting up by the chimney stack
On this coldest year since brrrr, up up up above a reindeer's back
OK, quiet everybody. You should come on here
Er, hit me with those backing vocals, yeah
Oooh
Oooh
"You'll never take me alive, copper"
"Look, reindeer, don't be silly, just settle down"
"I'm going to get that coney to ma"
"We've got you on six counts of disturbing the peace"
"Shove it, copper, I'll stick a grapefruit in your face"
"we're gonna keep singing "
"You are so..You are so..out of a job! Now come on down here"
"Nothing's going to stop us singing, copper, even if I have gotta come down that chimney myself and stick it in your face"
"I'm going to send in the troops if you don't come down here""
"We're going to keep singing in every home in the nation"
"Do whatever you want to do. Do what you..f@$%! That's it!
"You stupid flatfoot, you'll never take me alive.
I'm on top of the world Ma-
Top of the world Ma-Ma?"
Get those stickers on you know...Chris, quieten down over there, will you, I'm trying to get a message across, you know
I'm going to change the world overnight, yeah
Thank you
Thank you

DANZIG lyrics - Belly Of The Beast
Did my time among the creeps
Did my time among the thieves
Did my time among the scores
Did my time among the whores
Did my time among the blessed
Walked among the living dead
Searching up and down this world
Doing things you've never heard
Down in the belly of the beast I lie
All I save is my...
Down in the belly of the beast I lie
All I save is my pain
Did my time among the lost
Paying such a heavy cost
Did my time among the cruel
Laying with the broken fools
Did my time among the slaves
Walked around their waiting graves
Did my time among the lies
Watching as they slowly die
Down in the belly of the beast I lie
All I save is my...
Down in the belly of the beast I lie
All I save is my...
Down in the belly of the beast I lie
All I save is my...
Down in the belly of the beast I lie
All I save is my pain
Did my time among the strong
Some are here and some are gone
Did my time among the cursed
Praying that my brain would burst
Did my time among the slaves
Walked upon their living graves
Did my time among the lies
Watching as they slowly die
FRANKIE GOES TO HOLLYWOOD lyrics - Warrirors Of The Wasteland
From diamond mine to the factory
Everybody's doing what you've got to keep on doing for society
Make this world a good place to be
Let livin' be but don't work for free
Playing isn't paying so worx is what I'm saying
Working for the world go round
The battle cry don't mess with me
I've travelled the world for eternity
Warriors of the wasteland
Sailboats of ice on desert sands
Warriors of the wasteland
It seems to be that the powers that be
Keep themselves in splendour and security
Armoured cars for megastars
No streets, no bars, yours wealth is ours
They make the masses, kiss their asse(t)s
Lower class jackass, pay me tax take out the trash
Working for the world go round
Your job is gold, do as you're told
The pay you less the run for congress
Warriors of the wasteland
Sailboats of ice on desert sands
Warriors of the wasteland
I'm working for the world go round, go round
Diamond mind to the factory, yeah
Make this a world, a good place to be
Warriors what a waste, man
Warriors
We're rats in a cage
Suicide a go go
GLORIA ESTEFAN lyrics - Don't Release Me (Wyclef Jean Mix)
Back by popular demand
At the Copa Cabana
Gloria Estefan
With the refugees
Get off the wall
You ready?
This ones goes out
For the Cuban Kings and Queens
Thugs falling in love
With Latin Serpentines
I met her at the club
Guess down with a pager
I ask her what's her name
She said, Gloria
Where are you from?
Cuba
What you do?
I'm a singer
She looked at me and said
Do you wanna let go?
No, no
But can I get you a tequila
She said, Hell no, I'll take a pina colada
With one sip
I'll got her in a spell
I'm huntin' her kin
Like a ceetah hunts a gazelle
I know it's wrong
But I'm waiting for her to break
So I can take over like the devil's advocate
Please don't release me
Don't release me
From this spell you got me under
Please don't release me
Don't release me
From this spell you got me under
You make me feel like I could lose control
I'm gonna lose it right now
You know I feel like I am walking in the clouds
And I don't wanna come down
I wanna let go
But I can't let go
Do you wanna let go?
Why do we hold on to this love now?
I wanna let go
But I can't let go
Do you wnna let go?
Got to hold on baby
Hey yo
Wave your hands like this
Shake your feet like this
Clap your hands like this
You know we're live and all that from the Copacabana
Please don't release me
Don't release me
From this spell you got me under
Please don't release me
No, don't release me
From this spell you got me under
Want to find the way to paradise
You can take me there
Know I feel like I could
Rise above the ground
And I don't wanna come down
I wanna let go
But I can't let go
Do you wanna let go
Yo Gloria
Can I play my guitar in this party?
Gloria is in the place
The East Coast is in the place
The West Coast is in the place
Why do we hold on to this love
I wanna let go
But I can't let go
Do you wanna let go
Why do we hold on to this love
I wanna let go
But I can't let go
Do you wanna let go
Got to hold on baby
I wanna let go
But I can't let go
Do you wanna let go
Why do we hold on to this love
CARLY SIMON lyrics - Time After Time
(Styne/Cahn)
Time after time
I tell myself that I'm
So lucky to be loving you
So lucky to be
The one you run to see
In the evening, when the day is through
I only know what I know
The passing years will show
You've kept my love so young, so new
And time after time
You'll hear me say that I'm
So lucky to be loving you
LORETTA LYNN lyrics - Leavin' On Your Mind
(Wayne P. Walker - Webb Pierce)
If you've got leavin' on your mind tell me now get it over
Hurt me now get it over if you've got leavin' on your mind
If there's a new love in your heart tell me now get it over
Hurt me now get it over in there's a new love in your heart
Don't leave me here in a world filled with dreams that might have been
Hurt me now get it over I may learn to love again
If there's a new love in your heart...
Hurt me now get it over in there's a new love in your heart

JOHN FOGERTY lyrics - Lookin' Out My Back Door
(John Fogerty)
Just got home from Illinois, lock the front door, oh boy!
Got to sit down, take a rest on the porch.
Imagination sets in, pretty soon I'm singin',
[Chorus:]
Doo, doo, doo, Lookin' out my back door.
There's a giant doing cartwheels, a statue wearin' high heels.
Look at all the happy creatures dancing on the lawn.
A dinosaur Victrola list'ning to Buck Owens.
[Chorus]
Tambourines and elephants are playing in the band.
Won't you take a ride on the flyin' spoon?
Doo, doo doo.
Wond'rous apparition provided by magician.
[Chorus]
Tambourines and elephants are playing in the band.
Won't you take a ride on the flyin' spoon?
Doo, doo doo.
Bother me tomorrow, today, I'll buy no sorrows.
[Chorus]
Forward troubles Illinois, lock the front door, oh boy!
Look at all the happy creatures dancing on the lawn.
Bother me tomorrow, today, I'll buy no sorrows.
[Chorus]

THE DUBS lyrics - Could This Be Magic
Could this be magic
My dear
My heart's all aglow
Could this be magic
Loving you so
Could this be magic
My dear
Having your love
My prayers were answered
So far from above
I thought it would be
Just a memory
To linger my heart in pain
But too much pride
I opened up my eyes
And I'm with you dear once again
Could this be magic
My dear
Having your love
If this is magic
Then magic is mine
Could this be magic
Then magic is mine

HELLOWEEN lyrics - The Tune
Sometimes there's no tomorrow
Sometimes you hate the day
You feel there may be something
That intends to screw with fate
Take a look at what surround you
Each time you watch the news
Your mind gets set by someone's will
A template you can't choose
Love and desire, dry ice or fire
Don't you just want to flee their magic spell
No mercy for the nations two people are at war
Beliefs divide the dream they share of peace and harmony
Their eyes look up to heaven, address our god in prayers
Their souls exposed, they may decease by emperor's decree
Look, how they're crying
There's no denying
Now change the channel you're remote control
And the tune goes on eternally
For those who share the fear
On a frequency for you and me
You stare but you can't see
You hear and you agree
We're all here for a reason
So we can't just hang around
There's so much left to see and learn
Make way for common ground
And those who head the wrong way
Will rate as minor class
As castaways they'll render fools
When the horsemen come to rule
Strike the last hour in their glass towers
Infinite lust has made the curtain fall
And the tune goes on eternally
For those who share the fear
On a frequency for you and me
You stare but you can't see
You hear but you agree
You agree
And the tune goes on eternally
For those who share the fear
On a frequency for you and me
You stare but you can't see
You hear but you agree
And the tune goes on eternally
For those who long to hear
And those freaks sense they're superior
We're hypnotised, you see
They wave and we agree
B. B. KING lyrics - You And Me, Me And You
(Will Jennings / Troy Seals)
You took me way back in the country
You fed me on love and greens
You laid my head upon a feather bed
And I sure had some mighty sweet dreams
Don't you know we got something going on
You and me, me and you
Love can be a song if you like the tune
So sing to me, I'll sing to you
It goes ooh -
Just let the feelings flow
It goes ooh -
That's the way our love song goes
Mornings come easy in the country
Never had this feeling before
Ever since you found me
Love has been around me
And I'll never be lonely no more
Don't you know we got something going on
You and me, me and you
Love can be a song if you like the tune
So sing to me, I'll sing to you
It goes ooh -
Just let the feelings flow
It goes ooh -
That's the way our love song goes
CROSBY, STILLS & NASH lyrics - Pre-Road Downs
(Graham Nash)
[Intro. (Electric Guitar and Organ)]
I have kissed you
So I'll miss you
On the road I'll be wantin' you
But I have you
'Cause I love you
And you have me 'cause you love me too, yeah
[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]
Felt forsaken
You'll awaken
To the joys of livin' hand in glove
And then I will
Lend you my will
And your days will be filled with love
Don't run the time approaches
Hotels and midnight coaches
Be sure to hide the roaches
[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]
Felt rejected
As expected
You rejected all the thoughts of words
So I'll pray with
You to stay with
Me forever and we'll make it work
[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]
Elevated
You're elated
'Cause I've waited a year for you
If you're thinkin'
What I'm thinkin'
Then I'm gonna make my love to you
Don't run the time approaches
Hotels and midnight coaches
Be sure to hide the roaches
[Ending (Electric Guitar)]
ELLA FITZGERALD lyrics - Don't Like Good-Byes
Don't like good-byes, tears or sighs.
I'm not too good at leavin' time.
I got no taste for grievin' time. No, no - not me.
You've been my near ones, always my dear ones.
I never thought that I would find
Another love, a different kind, but it came to be.
Well, if you think I'm tellin' you lies,
Go try your luck and look into her eyes.
But remember, you must remember she's mine,
And my world over head has a clear new shine.
Don't want to leave you, sorry to grieve you.
It's travelin' time and I must move on.
Found the girl to lean upon.
And If I could arrange it,
Oh would I care to change it? Not me!
[Musical interlude]
Don't wanna leave you, sorry to grieve you.
It's travelin' time and I must move on.
Found the gal to lean upon.
And If I could arrange it,
Oh would I care to change it? Not me!

KANSAS lyrics - Not Man Big
Somebody said maybe he's a fool, but excuse me
Somebody said that he found a jewel, and much less love
Somebody said that he knows for sure, but don't confuse me
Who's gonna make what's dirty pure, good as gold
Not man big (not man big), no construction
Not man true, it's a bigger plan than you'll ever do
Not man said (not man said), some production
Not man made, from the east to the west it's a million miles between
Who's got a plan when the plan is made, ain't nobody
Looking for arrangements already made, as good as green
Where is the government to come to aide. Ha, there's too much business
I saw a candle sittin' in the shade, getting old
Not man big (not man big), no construction
Not man true (not man true), it's a bigger plan than the likes of you
Not man said (not man said), some production
Not man made (not man made), from the east to the west it's a million miles between
One look around you can see it clear, there's too much trouble
One look around and there's nothin' near, the cupboard's bare
Talking heads got a million words, but they don't say nothin'
Who's gonna make what's dirty pure, good as gold
Good as gold, yeah yeah yeah
VAN HALEN lyrics - Give To Live
Oooh - i can see that you've got
Fire in your eyes and pain inside your heart
So many things have come and torn your world apart
Oh baby, baby, baby, don't give up,
Don't give up
Don't give up
If you want love
If you want love, you've got to give a little
If you want love if you want faith,
You just believe a little
If you want love if you want peace,
Turn your cheek a little ohhh,
You've got to give
You've got to give
You've got to give... to live
An empty hand reaching out for someone
An empty heart takes so little to fill it's so much
Easier to push instead of pull
Oh baby, baby, baby don't give up,
Don't give up,
Don't give up
If you want love
If you want love, you've got to give a little
If you want love if you want faith,
You just believe a little
If you want love if you want peace,
Turn your cheek a little ohhh,
You've got to give
You've got to give
You've got to give... to live
Each man's a country in his own right oh,
Every body needs a friend one friend,
One god, one country
No man need defend
I believe in fate and destination
But so much of that lies in our own hands
If you know what you want,
Just go on out and get it
Oh baby, baby, baby don't give up,
Don't give up,
Don't give up
If you want love
If you want love, you've got to give a little
If you want love if you want faith,
You just believe a little
If you want love if you want peace,
Turn your cheek a little,
If you want love you've got to give
If you want love give to live
You've got to give to live
Give to live
Give to live
If you want love
If you want love
If you want love
You've got to give
You've got to give
You've got to give
THOMPSON TWINS lyrics - Doctor! Doctor!
I saw you there, just standing there
And I thought I was only dreaming, yeah
I kissed you then, then once again
You said you would come and dance with me
Dance with me across the sea
And we could feel the motion of a thousand dreams
Doctor, doctor
Can't you see
I'm burning, burning
Oh, Doctor, doctor
Is this love I'm feeling
Ships at night give such delight
We all leave before the morning light
Please don't go
No, please don't go
'Cause I don't want to stay here on my own
Doctor, doctor
Can't you see
I'm burning, burning
Oh, Doctor, doctor
Is this love I'm feeling
Doctor, doctor
Can't you see
I'm burning, burning
Oh, Doctor, doctor
Is this love I'm feeling
Fever breathe your love on me
(Breathe your love)
Take away my name (take away)
Fever lay your hands on me
(Breathe your love)
Never be the same
[Instrumental Interlude]
Doctor, doctor
Can't you see
I'm burning, burning
Oh, Doctor, doctor
Is this love I'm feeling
Doctor, doctor
Can't you see
I'm burning, burning
Oh, Doctor, doctor
Is this love I'm feeling
Come with me and make believe
We can travel to eternity

COWBOY JUNKIES lyrics - Floorboard Blues
Look under his floorboards, Mama,
I don't trust his silly grin
He's got a beat-up Rambler, Nebraska plates,
And I ain't getting in
I don't like the way his pinky ring
Picks up the dashboard light
Or his short little piggy fingers
Or the way his belt is cinched too tight
Check under his floorboards, Mama,
I don't like his suggestive tone
The way his words drip from his mouth
As he asks can I take you home?
I don't care how many miles I got,
I think I'd rather walk them alone
Than to sit in the back seat
As his eyes in the mirror
Reduce me to flesh and bone
Check under his floorboards, Mama,
'cause that razor's not just a threat to me
He'll be slicing tiny crescents from your heart,
Without laying a sweaty palm to your cheek
Don't accuse me of running scared,
Listen to what I'm saying
It's a fucked up ol' world, but this ol' girl
Well, she ain't giving in
BLIND FAITH lyrics - Sea Of Joy
(Steve Winwood)
Following the shadows of the skies,
Or are they only figments of my eyes?
And I'm feeling close to when the race is run.
Waiting in our boats to set sail.
Sea of joy.
Once the door swings open into space,
And I'm already waiting in disguise.
Is it just a thorn between my eyes?
Waiting in our boats to set sail.
Sea of joy.
Having trouble coming through,
Through this concrete blocks my view
And it's all because of you.
Oh, is it just a thorn between my eyes?
Waiting in our boats to set sail.
Sea of joy.
Sea of joy.
Sea of joy.
Sailing free.
Sea of joy.
RICKY NELSON lyrics - Only The Young
Heartaches, bitter tears that blind you as they fall
Heartaches, no one there to hear you when you call
And only the young, the young in love can really know
Bad news, broken heart each time you see her face
Bad news, tender lips that no one can replace
And only the young, the young in love can really know
Only the young, the young in love can really know
Love that comes for the first time is sweeter than rain
Love that hurts the fist time will rack you with pain
And only the young, the young in love can really know
Whoa whoa, some day, I'll get used to knowin' we're apart
Hmm, some day, I can hide this ache within my heart
And only the young, the young in love can really know
Only the young, the young in love can really know
And only the young, the young in love can really know
LED ZEPPELIN lyrics - Hot Dog
Well I just got into town today
To find my girl who's gone away
She took the Greyhound at the General Store
I searched myself I searched the town
When I finally did sit down
I find myself no wiser than before
She said we couldn't do no wrong
No other love could be so strong
She locked up my heart in her bottom drawer
Now she took my heart she took my keys
From in my old blue dungarees
And I'll never go to Texas anymore
[Chorus:] Now my baby's gone I don't know what to do
She took my love and walked right out the door
And if I ever find that girl I know one thing for sure
I'm gonna give her something like she never had before
I took her love at seventeen
A little late these days it seems
But they said heaven is well worth waiting for
I took her word I took it all
Beneath the sign that said "U-haul"
She left angels hangin round for more
[Chorus]
I thought I had it all sewn up
Our love, a plot, a pick-up truck
But folks said she was after something more
I never did quite understand
All that talk about rockin' bands
But they just rolled my doll right out the door
Oh yeah, they just rolled my doll right out the door!

PANTERA lyrics - We'll Meet Again
I walk the
Streets of darkness
Where hell awaits
Guarded by the mystery
Just beyond the gates
Searching for the answer
Every man must find
Before eternity beckons
I will make you mine
GOODBYE MYSTERY
GOODBYE PAIN
GOODBYE LOVE
WE'LL MEET AGAIN
In another lifetime
She'll take another man
She's left me here to die!
Its killing me again!!!
GOODBYE MYSTERY
GOODBYE PAIN
GOODBYE LOVE
WE'LL MEET AGAIN
GRATEFUL DEAD lyrics - The Eleven
High green chilly winds and windy vines
In loops around the twisted shafts of lavender,
They're crawling to the sun.
Underfoot the ground is patched
With arms of ivy wrapped around the manzanita,
Stark and shiny in the breeze.
Wonder who will water all the children of the garden
When they sigh about the barren lack of rain and
Droop so hungry neath the sky.
William Tell has stretched his bow till it won't stretch
No furthermore and/or it may require a change that hasn't come before.
No more time to tell how, this is the season of what,
Now is the time of returning with our thought
Jewels polished and gleaming.
Now is the time past believing the child has relinquished the rein,
Now is the test of the boomerang tossed in the night of redeeming.
Seven faced marble eyed transitory dream doll,
Six proud walkers on the jingle bell rainbow,
Five men writing with fingers of gold,
Four men tracking down the great white sperm whale,
Three girls waiting in a foreign dominion
Riding in the whalebelly, fade away in moonlight,
Sink beneath the waters to the coral sands below.

IGGY POP lyrics - Boogy Boy
I'm a boogie boogie boogie boogie boy
I like to play around with boogie toys
I need a boogie girl to boogie too
I need a boogie dog my shoe to chew
I like to make a dumb ass noise
Because I'm a boogie boogie boy
Now every morning I wake up at nine
I'm eating cheerios with red wine
I'm reading that book but it's not too good
Cuz my boogie head is made outta wood
It's a fact i get so much joy
When i can go out and be a boggie boy
Like to eat spaghetti with tomato sauce
I like to eat clams with spanish moss
I like to go down to mash potato town
Cuz that's where a boogie boy can get
Thats what I do
Like to make noise
Like to go out and be a boogie boy
THE DOOBIE BROTHERS lyrics - I Been Workin' On You
(Tom Johnston)
Mama been workin', so hard
Keep on workin' mama but you don't get far
But baby I know, baby you're blind
And I'll keep a-risin' mama, just to show you're mine
And I keep workin' on you
Well I been watchin' you grow
And baby you got what it takes to let me know
Sure as the devil, rise in the blind
It's gonna be nasty and it's gonna be mine
I been workin' on you
Keep on movin' pretty baby, I feel you in my heart
Gentle on me movin' honey, honey, but you can't be far but you
Keep on with me, true to form
I can't ask for more now but your
Soul star is born
THE BEATLES lyrics - I Call Your Name
I call your name but you're not there
Was I to blame for being unfair
Oh I can't sleep at night
Since you've been gone
I never weep at night
I can't go on
Don't you know I can't take it
I don't know who can
I'm not goin' to mayayake it
I'm not that kind of man
Oh I can't sleep at night
But just the same
I never weep at night
I call your name
Aww
Don't you know I can't take it
I don't know who can
I'm not goin' to mayayake it
I'm not that kind of man
Oh I can't sleep at night
But just the same
I never weep at night
I call your name
I call your name
I call your name
I call your name

STEVE WINWOOD lyrics - Domingo Morning
(Winwood/Neto)
Six days have I laboured hard
Finding help out of no man's hand
All night as my body aches
Rest my heart 'til the morning breaks
Souls are waking the world
Is awaiting Domingo morning
Rest in the Sanctuary Six
Day'll pass 'til Domingo morning
Fortune you have shone on me
I found a place where I can be free
Beauty lying in your eyes
Seventh day we will realize
Souls are waking the world
Is awaiting Domingo morning
Rest in the Sanctuary Six
Day'll pass 'til Domingo morning
Work hard to help me be
Take my opportunity
Moonlight will just pass by me
Domingo
Work hard just to help me be
Hours go by with reality
Hungry just to help me see
Where I get my immunity
Souls are waking the world
Is awaiting Domingo morning
Rest in the Sanctuary Six
Day'll pass 'til Domingo morning
WILLIE DIXON lyrics - Seventh Son
(Willie Dixon)
Well now everybody cryin' 'bout the seventh son
But in the whole round world there is only one, and
I'm the one, yes, I'm the one
I'm the one, I'm the one,
I'm the one they call the seventh son
Well I can tell your future before it comes to pass
And I can do things for you that make your heart feel glad
Look at the skies and predict the rain
I can tell when a woman's got another man
I'm the one, yes, I'm the one
I'm the one, I'm the one,
I'm the one they call the seventh son
Now I can hold you close and I can squeeze you tight
And I can make you cry for me both day and night
And I can heal the sick and even raise the dead
And make you little girls talk out of your head
I'm the one, yes, I'm the one
I'm the one, I'm the one,
I'm the one they call the seventh son
Now I can talk these words that sound so sweet
I can make your little heart even skip a beat
I can take you, baby, hold you in my arms
And make the flesh quiver on your lovely bones
I'm the one, yes, I'm the one
I'm the one, I'm the one,
I'm the one they call the seventh son
Well now everybody cryin' 'bout the seventh son
But in the whole round world there is only one, and
I'm the one, yes, I'm the one
I'm the one, I'm the one,
I'm the one they call the seventh son
I'm the one they call the seventh son
I'm the one they call the seventh son
KMFDM lyrics - Light
Divine inspiration
Total disallusion
Instant consecration
Mind and body fusion
Frontal assault on the seven senses
Orgasmic waste
Eccentric and pretentious
Kmfdm doin' it again
A treat for the freaks
Truth or dare
Are you ready for this
We don't care
In a world of deceipt
Open your eyes
Don't be afraid and you realize
What we do for you so good for you
What you do for me so good for me
Deified dada
Hard but true
Godlike nonsense being thrown at you
We keep simple
Tough and outright
Easy to swallow
Kmfdm light
One way or another
Now or later
Bow down and worship
The true creator
Musik ist macht
Eine ausgesprochene verbindung von schlau und dumm
Gerauschsuchtigen wird unter immensem druck und
Leidenschaft grosste freude und vertrauen abgesaugt
Der helden riff ist der froschfresser
Der rhythmus ein schoner schwan
Nur die worte ein blutegel an deinem gehirn
Keiner macht fur dich mehr
Take a good plunge
Stand out from the masses
Bend over backwards and
Kick some asses
Call 1-800
Accept no imitations
Kmfdm one world - one nation

THE CURE lyrics - A Short Term Effect
Movement
No movement
Just a falling bird
Cold as it hits the bleeding ground
He lived and died...
Catch sight
Cover me with earth
Draped in black
Static
White sound
A day without substance
A change of thought
An atmosphere that rots with time
Colours that flicker in water
A short term effect
Scream!
As she tries to push him over
Helpless and sick
With teeth of madness
Jump jump dance and sing
Sideways across the desert
A charcoal face
Bites my hand
Time is sweet
Derange and disengage everything
A day without substance
A change of thought
The atmosphere rots with time
Colours that flicker in water
A short term effect
An echo
And a stranger's hand
A short term effect
An echo
And a stranger's hand
A short term effect
SIMPLE MINDS lyrics - My Life
I can feel it in the darkness
Getting closer in the night
Like a sacred song
You linger on
You give me the wings of flight
And I love your sense of power
Every hour every need
When the red light shows
Your arms enclose
Like the pillars of destiny
With one step forward
I know I can leave this behind
Never look backward
I want to move through space, through time
I want to get to it
Seek and you'll find
Check the world - do it it's my life
There's a star shines over you and I
It's my life
I'm just keeping my soul alive
There's talk of revolution
There's no solution to our plight
A red guitar can get you
But you still know how to fight
They say all roads come together
Every shoulder to the wheel
Solid gold future unfolds
When you give me the hands that heal
I'm looking out, and I call your name
I go running in a circle
But I can't get back again
And I'm calling I need you here
My whole life took a tumble
And I'm so filled up with fear
My life feels like a runaway train
I'm leading through a tunnel and I can't get back again
It's my life
Keeping my soul alive

DIANA ROSS AND THE SUPREMES lyrics - He's My Sunny Boy
(William "Smokey" Robinson)
Oooh...Sunny boy
Now let me tell you how much good
You've done me boy
'Cause when I'm feeling alone
You give me plenty joy
Into each lives some rain must fall
But with you here
There's no rain at all
Sunny boy
Looks good in everything
From silk to corduroy
To see him I'd walk from Idaho to Illinois
(Or anywhere)
Do anything to be with him
My sunshine when the world is dim
I'ts sunny boy, sunny boy
My pride and joy
Sunny boy
Sunny boy
You made my life so sweet
It's just like honey, boy
And I love you so much till it ain't funny boy
My cloudy days have been declouded
Since you're here so keep on shining
Sunny boy, sunny boy
My pride and joy
Hey, sunny boy
My honey boy
Now only your sweet lovin' can give me joy
I'm trying to tell the world
That you're my sunny boy
JERMAINE JACKSON lyrics - You're Supposed To Keep Your Love For Me
What are you doing out there baby, messin' round with all the guys?
What are you doing out there playing? Aren't you supposed to be mine?
What are you doing out there baby? That ain't the way it's supposed to be,
'Cause you're, you're supposed to keep your love for me.
What are you doing out there sugar, tryin' to bring my spirit down?
'Cause I've heard that you've been sneakin' around with ev'ry guy in town.
What are you doing out there baby? You're acting like you're fancy free,
when you're, you're supposed to keep your love for me.
So keep your love for me.
Da da da da da, da da da, da da da. [3x]
Sooner or later I'm gonna leave you, though I've said this many times
before,
but on the day you least expect it, you'll find me walking out the door.
What are you doing out there baby? I guess our love will never be,
'cause you, you don't want to keep your love for me.
Say it one more time,
you, you don't want to keep your love for me;
when all the time,
you're, you're supposed to keep your love for me.
Da da da da... [repeat til fade]
ELVIS PRESLEY lyrics - O Come, All Ye Faithful
O come, all ye faithful
Joyful and triumphant
O come ye, o come ye to bethlehem
Come and behold him
Born the king of angels
O come let us adore him
O come let us adore him
O come let us adore him
Christ the lord
Sing choirs of angels
Sing in exaltation
Oh sing all ye rivals
Of heaven above
Glory to god, glory in the highest
O come let us adore him
O come let us adore him
O come let us adore him
Christ the lord
U2 lyrics - Where Did It All Go Wrong
Did you get it
Did you need it
Did you really
What you wanted
Was it good in the sun
Did you really have the fun
Did you crack it
Did you grab it
Did you reel it
Like a rabbit
Did you walk
Did you run
Did you move this here
Uh huh
And how could you do
And make it so, sing this song
Where did it all go wrong
Where did it all go wrong
Did you grab it
Did you want it
Is it really what you wanted
Did you run in the sun
Did you imitate a walk
Did you answer
Did you grab it
Did you gun it like a rabbit
Did you walk
Did you run
Can you feel you rising up
And how can you do
And when you sang it in the song
And it sank, and it threw
Where did it all go wrong
Did you drown it
Did you roll it
Did you smash it
Did you warm it
Did you clean it
Clean it up
Did you rub it
Did you soap
Did you screen it
Did you ream it
Did you ruin it
Did you feed it
Is warm in the sun
When the weather's getting warm
And the world is at your feet
And it is our time to say
It's all gone wrong
Where did it all go wrong
(Oh yeah, oh yeah)
You take me, baby, in circles, yes
Darling, darling, darling...I want you
Why oh, why oh, why oh...stony rose
You lose your guy
You walk on by
You walk on by
You walk on by
You walk on by
Did you lose the guy
Did you lose the guy
Did you lose the guy
Did you lose the guy...
BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN lyrics - Darlington County
Driving in to Darlington County
Me and Wayne on the Fourth of July
Driving in to Darlington County
Looking for some work on the county line
We drove down from New York City where the girls are pretty but they just want to know your name
Driving in to Darlington City
Got a union connection with an uncle of Wayne's
We drove eight-hundred miles without seeing a cop
We got rock and roll music blasting off the t-top singing
Sha la la
Sha la la la
Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la
Sha la la la
Sha la la la la la la
Hey little girl standing on the corner
Today's your lucky day for sure all right
Me and my buddy we're from New York City
We got $200, we want to rock all night
Girl, you're looking at two big spenders
Why the world don't know what me and Wayne might do
Our pa's each own one of the World Trade Centers
For a kiss and a smile I'll give mine all to you
Come on baby take a seat on my fender
It's a long night and tell me what else were you gonna do
Just me and you, we could sha la la
Little girl sitting in the window
Ain't seen my buddy in seven days
County man tells me the same thing
He don't work and he don't get paid
Little girl you're so young and pretty
Walk with me and you can have your way
And we'll leave this Darlington City for a ride down that Dixie Highway
Driving out of Darlington County
My eyes seen the glory of the coming of the Lord
Driving out of Darlington County seen Wayne handcuffed to the bumper of a state trooper's Ford
Sha la la
Sha la la la
Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la
Sha la la la
Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la
Sha la la la
Sha la la la la la la

ROXY MUSIC lyrics - All I Want Is You
(Ferry)
Somebody told me
Just the other day
That you're leaving me
We're through
Well if you knew
How it hurt me so
Then you'd change your mind
I'm sure
Don't want to hear
What's going on
I don't care
What's new
Don't want to know
About anything
'Cause all I want
Is you
Going out with other girls
Was always such a bore
But since I fell in love with you
I need you more and more
Don't want to know
About one-night-stands
Cut-price souvenirs
All I want is
The real thing
And a night that lasts
For years.
If you ever change your mind
I've a certain cure
An old refrain, it lingers on
L'amour, toujours l'amour...
Don't want to learn
About etiquette
From glossy magazines
Why should I try
To talk correct
Like they do
In another scenes
Say no more
About imagery
You're starting to confuse
Just make an offer
Of more romance
Of course I can't refuse
All I want is you
Oo oo I'm all cracked up on you.
B. B. KING lyrics - Somebody Done Changed The Lock On My Door
(William Weldon)
Somebody done changed, somebody done changed the lock on that door
Somebody done changed, they done changed the lock on that door
'Cause the key I got won't fit that lock no more
Now I came home last night about half past ten
Tried to get the key in the lock but I couldn't get it in
'Cause somebody done changed
They done changed the lock on that door
'Cause the key I got won't fit that lock no more
I looked through the window to see what I could see
She was talking to someone else
I know it wasn't me
She said, "daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, you don't have to go
'Cause I done changed, I done changed that lock on my door"
She changed the bed around, even painted the door
She even changed the carpet, I mean on the floor
My baby changed
Oh she done changed the lock on my door
'Cause the key I got won't fit that lock no more
Well, I walked down the street, lookin' where I used to go
She's got a mean black snake, and I can't go there no more
My baby changed
She done changed the lock on my door
And the key I got won't fit that lock no more

BAD COMPANY lyrics - The Way That It Goes
That's the way it goes
I've been waiting for the perfect woman, to come and rescue me
Well there she is and I can almost touch her, oh, but I just can't speak
Whoo yeah
Chorus:
Sometimes that's just the way that it goes, some you win, some you lose
Sometimes that's just the way that it goes, there ain't much you can do
I've been dreamin' 'bout a '50 Shevy, dry and red of gleaming chrome
Saved up my money and bought some beat up wagon, ooh but now I'm walking home
Don't you know - (chorus)
They say that life's the luck to the draw, well I ain't had no cards
I only know that nothing's for sure, and the only luck's hard
(Solo)
Cars and girls on an endless highway, the all American dream
Girl I'd better try, yeah try and find it, and it ain't what it seems
Don't you know - (chorus) (repeats 2x)
Sometimes...
JUDAS PRIEST lyrics - Worth Fighting For
You said I could never find a way to ease your mind
That where I'd go you'd wind up in the dust
I tried so hard to have you reach another side of me
Instead you went to nowhere and forgot
So I wander on
Asking where you might have gone
From what I knew before
Some things are worth fighting for
You said I could never find a way to ease your mind
That where I'd go you'd wind up in the dust
I tried so hard to have you reach another side of me
Instead you went to nowhere and forgot
So I wander on
Asking where you might have gone
From what I knew before
Some things are worth fighting for
Desert heat can wear you down
But still I'm rollin' through
Did I see your figure in the haze?
I am driven by a thirst to quench myself of love
The sun beats on me for the price I've paid
So I wander on
Asking where you might have gone
From what I knew before
Some things are worth fighting for
Yeah!
Night road leads me to a town of ghosts
Beckoned by the glow of keresone & tumbleweed
They're calling out (they're calling out)
Forever more (forever more)
I'm leaning in the wind
Head bowed down from what I saw
My shadow for a friend
Still some things are worth fighting for
So I'm moving on
Asking where you might have gone
From what I knew before
Some things are worth fighting for
Yeah!
Worth fighting for

NEIL YOUNG lyrics - Thank God I'm On The Road Tonight
There was an ill wind blowing
Through my hair last night
That froze me in my blue jeans.
I couldn't find a light
I know that something's coming
I can feel it in my bones
Thank God
for those old country boys,
I ain't out here alone.
My friends all tell me
I got daggers in my eyes
There's an anger in my heart
That they don't realize
I'm mad as hell at something
That I don't understand
Thank God
I'm on the road tonight
With this old hillbilly band.
Thank God
I'm on the road tonight
With this old hillbilly band.
We may not be good looking
But we sure get outta hand
Was that The Devil's stagecoach
Flying over the Rio Grande?
Thank God
I'm on the road tonight
With this old hillbilly band.
I swear that The Devil
Came visiting me last night
Surrounded my old stagecoach
With his eerie light
He was pounding on my windows
Rattling my wheels
I may not be The Devil
But I know just how he feels.
Thank God
I'm on the road tonight
With this old hillbilly band.
We may not be good looking
But we sure get outta hand
Was that The Devil's stagecoach
Flying over the Rio Grande?
Thank God
I'm on the road tonight
With this old hillbilly band.
