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.
