ALPHAVILLE lyrics - Sirens
(Lyrics: Janey Diamond/music: Gold-Bloss)
When the sirens sing again...
He is sitting on a hill
A vapid night is crawling through the vale
The trees are fangs of transiency
The demons forge hammers and nails
When the sirens sing again...
He will travel all the ways
That lead to the unknown lands
Time has distorted his view
An amen in his due
When the sirens sing again...
A-HA lyrics - Stay On These Roads
The cold has a voice
It talks to me
Stillborn, by choice
It airs no need to hold
Old man feels the cold...
Oh baby don't
'cause I've been told
Stay on these roads
We shall meet, I know
Stay on...my love
We shall meet, I know
I know
Where joy should reign
These skies restrain
'Shadow your love...'
The voice trails off again
Old man feels the cold
Oh baby don't
'cause I've been told
Stay on these roads
We shall meet, I know
Stay on...my love
You feel so weak, be strong
Stay on, stay on
We shall meet, I know
I know
I know, my love, I know
Feel the cold
Winter's calling on my home..

NEIL YOUNG lyrics - Over And Over
At night when the sky is clear
and the moon is shining down
My heart goes running back to you
I love the way
you open up and let me in
So I go running back to you,
Over and over again.
Over and over again my love
Over and over again with you
Over and over again my love
Over and over again with you.
Remember the nights of love
and that moment on the beach
That wasn't really too long ago
But we paid the price of time,
and now it's out of reach
And so the broken circle go,
Over and over again
Over and over again my love
Over and over again with you
Over and over again my love
Over and over again with you.
Somewhere in a fire of love,
our dreams went up in smoke
We danced beneath silver rain
Upon the fields of green,
where time was just a joke
And now the feeling's
just the same,
Over and over again.
Over and over again my love
Over and over again with you
Over and over again my love
Over and over again with you.
PETE SEEGER lyrics - Old Devil Time
Old devil time, I'm goin' to fool you now!
Old devil time, you'd like to bring me down!
When I'm feeling low, my lovers gather 'round
And help me rise to fight you one more time!
Old devil fear, you with your icy hands,
Old devil fear, you'd like to freeze me cold!
When I'm sore afraid, my lovers gather 'round
And help me rise to fight you one more time!
Old devil pain, you often pinned me down,
You thought I'd cry, and beg you for the end
But at that very time, my lovers gather 'round
And help me rise to fight you one more time!
Old devil hate, I knew you long ago,
Then I found out the poison in your breath.
Now when we hear your lies, my lovers gather 'round
And help me rise to fight you one more time!
No storm nor fire can ever beat us down,
No wind that blows but carries us further on.
And you who fear, oh lovers, gather 'round
And we can rise and sing it one more time!
GREEN DAY lyrics - On The Wagon
Sometimes it get's real hard
And I need some kind of output
For unput twice the size of my one inch mind
So slap me on the hand
Put it right back down my pants
Kick me in the ass
Well today I say sweet things
But tomorrow i'll be making up excuses
For my actions because it's been so long
Since i've been in love
That special kind of feeling
Guess my best excuse
I'm on the wagon again
Well I got no real excuse
I'm on the wagon again
Hey
THE KINKS lyrics - Noise
Dad's stuck in the factory, machines are banging all around.
Momma's in the kitchen, she got the radio on all the time.
My little sister's screaming, and stamping on the ground.
And the radio keeps pumping out the same old boring sound.
All I hear is noise.
Can't get away from the noise.
Can you hear me above the noise?
Can you, can you, can you, can you, can you, can you hear me?
Can you hear the noise? (Noise)
Can't get away from the noise. (Noise)
Can you hear me above the noise? (Noise)
Can you, can you, can you, can you, can you, can you hear me?
Banging in my ears, in every direction.
Listen to the roar, hear that city[?], poundin', poundin'.
There oughta be a law, hey buddy, turn that radio down.
Sometimes I get used to it and I forget that it's around.
But all I hear is noise. (Noise)
Can't get away from noise. (Noise)
Can you hear me above the noise? (Noise)
All of this confusion is ruining my day.
Let the noise be like the sunset, and slowly fade away.
Fading, fade.
Girl, I want to build a better world for me and you.
I wanna pull out all the plugs before I finally blow my fuse.
Wish all the confusion would slowly fade away.
I'd tell you that I love you, but you don't hear what I way.
All you hear is noise. (Noise)
Can't get away from noise. (Noise)
Can you hear me above the noise? (Noise)
Can you, can you, can you, can you, can you, can you hear me?
Noise in the street, they're digging up the pavement.
Noise in the air, those traffic jams are everywhere.
Noise on noise, to cover up the noise.
The pressure's building up because there's no way to avoid,
All the noise. (Noise)
Can't get away from noise. (Noise)
Can you hear me above the noise? (Noise)
All of this confusion is ruining my day.
Let the noise be like the sunset, and slowly fade away.
Fading, fading.
DAVE DAVIES lyrics - Run
Remember how we used to laugh away
Those hours
We would spend.
We thought they'd last forever.
Oh,
Though I must go,
I know the pain I leave,
But oh,
These things will change,
'Cause nothing last forever.
For now at last,
I see all life as one,
All children are my own,
I'll never be alone.
Please don't cry,
For there's a brighter sun,
That allows us to be free,
Allows us to be bound
[Chorus]
Run,
Run,
Find a place of my own,
Yeah,
Somewhere where I can grow.
Got to run, run,
Find a place of my own,
Somewhere where I belong,
Yeah.
Somewhere where I can grow.
If there was a way to tell you,
Exactly how I feel,
All I can say,
That in my heart you'll always be.
[Chorus]
Yeah,
I've got to run,
Run,
Find a place of my own.
Yeah,
Somewhere where I can grow.
Run,
Run,
Run,
Run.
Find a place of my own.
Yeah,
Somewhere where I belong.
Yeah,
Somewhere I can grow.
THE CURE lyrics - Sirensong
It could've been her golden hair
That turned my head
I didn't look to stare
Like I was hypnotized
But I was fixed
On how she pointed slowly down
And low I sank
And still without a sound
The world was far away
And I was tricked
It could've been her silver skin
That drew me on
I didn't mean to spin
Like I was mesmerised
But I was rapt
Without a name or memory
I waited there
Too scared to even breathe...
She sang... she sang... she sang...
She sang
"Tell me you love me
And beg me to stay"
She sang
"Tell me you love me
Before it's too late"
She sang
"Give me your life
Or I must fly away
And you will never hear this song again"
It could've been her crystal eyes
That made me stop
I didn't want to sigh
Like I was stupefied
But I was thrown
And at that point of no return
My whole life hanging
On a single word
To be hers evermore
Or mine alone...
She sang... she sang... she sang...
She sang
"Tell me you love me
And beg me to stay"
She sang
"Tell me you love me
Before it's too late"
She sang
"Give me your life
Or I must fly away
And you will never hear this song again..."
THE CURE lyrics - The Last Day Of Summer
Nothing I am
Nothing I dream
Nothing is new
Nothing I think or believe in or say
Nothing is true
It used to be so easy
I never even tried
Yeah it used to be so easy...
But the last day of summer
Never felt so cold
The last day of summer
Never felt so old
Never felt so...
All that I have
All that I hold
All that is wrong
All that I feel for or trust in or love
All that is gone
It used to be so easy
I never even tried
Yeah it used to be so easy...
But the last day of summer
Never felt so cold
The last day of summer
Never felt so old
The last day of summer
Never felt so cold
Never felt so...

THE CURE lyrics - Scared As You
You know those things I said
All those things that made you cry
I didn't really mean that stuff
I didn't really mean that stuff
All I ever really mean
When I scream and shout the way I do
Is I don't know
I really don't
I'm just the same as you
You know those things I said
All those things that made you
Run away from me
I didn't mean a word
I didn't really mean I don't believe
All I ever really mean
When I rant and rave the way I do
Is I'm scared
I'm scared
I'm just as scared as you
And sometimes it's so hard
Not to just throw it all away
Sometimes it's so hard
Not to just throw it all away
Like all those things I said
All those things that made you cry
I didn't really mean that stuff
I didn't really mean to say goodbye
You know those things I said
All those things that made you
Run away from me
I didn't mean a word
I didn't really mean I don't believe
All I ever really mean
When I scream and shout the way I do
Is I'm scared
I'm scared
I'm just as scared as you
MOTLEY CRUE lyrics - City Boy Blues (Demo)
Fireflies and dogfights
Runnin' hot in the heat
Street noise, another bribe
Things too hard to believe-
so head out
My heart's in the country
My feet's in the city with you
All my friends are eatin' sushi
Talkin' bad about you know who who who
My tongue's talkin' riddles
But I just can't seem to find a clue
So I take a swig of whiskey
And jump into the saddle with you you you
And I just can't seem to break the shackles of the city boy blues
I got the city boy blues
I got the city boy blues
I got the city boy blues
I got the city boy blues
And I just can't seem to break the shackles of the city boy blues
Cats in the alley
Rats in my snakeskin boots
All my neighbors think I'm crazy
And my girl thinks I'm losin' my cool cool cool And I just can't seem to break the
shackles of the city boy blues
I got the city boy blues
I got the city boy blues
I got the city boy blues
I got the city boy blues
And I just can't seem to break the shackles of the city boy blues
Don't look to Jesus to change your seasons
It's the American dream
Souls of gypsies, road of stone
Can't seem to find no peace so head out
And I just can't seem to break the shackles of the city boy blues
I got the city boy blues
I got the city boy blues
I got the city boy blues
I got the city boy blues
And I just can't seem to break the shackles of the city boy blues
I got the blues, I got the blues, I got the blues,
I got the blues
I got the blues, I got the blues, I got the blues,
I got the blues
BRIAN WILSON lyrics - How Could We Still Be Dancin'
Dancin', dancin'
Dance the night away
Dance the night away
1:30 ... 2:30
Dancin' my love
How could we still be dancin'
After all these years
How could we still be laughin'
After all those tears?
How could we still be friendly
After slammin' those doors
How could we still be livin'
After all those wars
Hey, everybody
Help to make this feelin' right
Oh, won't you help to make this feelin' right
How could we still be rockin'
After all those times
How could we still be rolling'
And still be makin' rhymes?
How could we still make music
After MTV
How could we still get things crankin'
And see what we can be
Hey, everybody
Help to make this feelin' right
Oh, won't you help to make this feelin' right
Dancin', dancin'
Dance the night away
Dance the night away
1:30 ... 2:30
Dancin' my love
How could we still be dancin'
After all these years
How could we still be laughin'
After all those tears
How could we tell the difference
Between right and wrong
Confusion reigned for so long
But now we found our song
Hey, everybody
Hey, everybody

IGGY POP lyrics - Outta My Head
Sally goes 'round the roses
Every night
Trying to find a warm place
To spend the night
She becomes a target
Soon as she rise
Somebody wants to cut her
Down to his size
It's a sad bad feeling
It's a sad bad feeling
It's a sad bad feeling
The feeling's in my bones
It won't leave me alone
I'm going out, outa my head, I'm going out, outta my head
I'm going out, outa my head, I'm going out, outta my head
Jimmy goes round the dumpsters every day
Trying to find a way ot
Some kind of way
He knows he's a target
Everyone is
Strangle that rock and roll star
Make him eat jizz
It's a sad bad feeling
It's a sad bad feeling
It's a sad bad feeling
The feeling's in my bones
It won't leave me alone
I'm going out, outa my head, I'm going out, outta my head
I'm going out, outa my head, I'm going out, outta my head
U2 lyrics - Drowning Man
Take my hand
You know I'll be there
If you can
I'll cross the sky for your love
For I have promised
Oh, to be with you tonight
And for the time that will come
Take my hand
You know I'll be there
If you can
I'll cross the sky for your love
And I understand
These winds and tides
This change of times
Won't drag you away
Hold on, and hold on tightly
Hold on, and don't let go
Of my love
The storms will pass (the storm will pass)
It won't be long now (it won't be long now)
His love will last
His love will last...forever
Take my hand
You know I'll be there
If you can
I'll cross the sky for your love
Give you what I hold dear
Hold on, hold on tightly
Hold on, hold on tightly
Rise up, rise up
With wings like eagles
You run, you run
You run and not grow weary
(take my hand, take my hand)
Hold on, and hold on tightly
Hold on, hold on tightly
To this love...last forever
To this love...last forever
Take my hand
Take my hand...

CONNIE STEVENS lyrics - Sixteen Reasons
(Bill Post and Doree Post)
(Sixteen reasons)
Why I (why I) love you
(One) the way you hold my hand
(Two) your laughing eyes
(Three) the way you understand
(Four) your secret sighs
They're all part of sixteen reasons why I (why I) love you
(Five) the way you comb your hair
(Six) your freckled nose
(Seven) the way you say you care
(Eight) your crazy clothes
That's just half of sixteen reasons why I (why I) love you
(Nine) snuggling in the car
(Ten) your wish upon a star
(Eleven) whispering on the phone
(Twelve) your kiss when we're alone
(Thirteen) the way you thrill my heart
(Fourteen) your voice so neat
(Fifteen) you say we'll never part
(Sixteen) our love's complete
Those are all of sixteen reasons why I (why I) love you
(Sixteen reasons)
Why I (why I) love you
STING lyrics - Can't Stand Losing You
I've called you so many times today
And I guess it's all true what your girlfriends say
That you don't ever want to see me again
And your brother's gonna kill me and he's six feet ten
I guess you'd call it cowardice
But I'm not prepared to go on like this
I can't, I can't
I can't stand losing
I can't stand losing you
I see you've sent my letters back
And my LP records and they're all scratched
I can't see the point in another day
When nobody listens to a word I say
You can call it lack of confidence
But to carry on living doesn't make no sense
I can't, I can't
I can't stand losing
I guess this is our last goodbye
And you don't care so I won't cry
But you'll be sorry when I'm dead
And all this guilt will be on your head
I guess you'd call it suicide
But I'm too full to swallow my pride
I can't, I can't
I can't stand losing
I can't stand losing you
NIRVANA lyrics - Oh, Me
[Originally by The Meat Puppets]
If I had to lose a mile
If I had to touch feelings
I would lose my soul
The way I do
I don't have to think
I only have to do it
The results are always perfect
And that's old news
Would you like to hear my voice
Sprinkled with emotion
Invented at your birth?
I can't see the end of me
My whole expanse I cannot see
I formulate infinity
Stored deep inside me
If I had to lose a mile
If I had to touch feelings
I would lose my soul
The way I do
I don't have to think
I only have to do it
The results are always perfect
And that's old news
Would you like to hear my voice
Sprinkled with emotion
Invented at your birth?
I can't see the end of me
My whole expanse I cannot see
[x2]
I formulate infinity
Stored deep inside me

PHIL COLLINS lyrics - It's Not Too Late
Gently rolling Father time
Is calling to him now,
And though he hears him
He looks out to sea.
Somewhere out there lie his dreams
A story with no ending
And till he finds his answers
He won't be going nowhere
For him, it's not too late
It's not too late
For some it's never too late
Quietly knocking on her door.
He patiently stands waiting,
And though she hears him
She sits steadfast in her chair.
Somewhere out there never seen
Her hopes and dreams lie waiting,
And till she finds an answer
She won't be going nowhere
For her, it's not too late
It's not too late
For some it's never too late
For everything we know that's certain
There is much we cannot see,
So we choose to close the curtain,
Never knowing what could have been
It's not too late, it's not too late, never too late
Slowly rocking the baby's bed
He strokes it's head and whispers
And though it hears him,
It keeps smiling and kicks it's feet
Somewhere out there is a life,
A lifetime made for living
So it holds on fast, it ain't going nowhere
For some it's not too late,
It's not too late
For some it's never too late
For some it's not too late
It's not too late
For some its never too late
DEAN MARTIN lyrics - Peg O' My Heart
Peg o' my heart
I'll love you don't let us part
I love you I always knew it would be you
Since I heard your lilting laughter
It's your Irish heart I'm after
Peg o' my heart
Your glances make my heart say
How's chances come be my own
Come make your home in my heart

A-HA lyrics - A Fine Blue Line
(Magne Furuholmen)
Take a look and see
What's become of me
Remember how it used to be
People that we'd meet
Were falling at your feet
You didn't eve see it
Time marches on ahead - enough said
There's only one way through it
Time marches on ahead - one day we'll see it
How there's a fine blue line
Running through it
We read each other's books
We gave each other looks
Like we couldn't trust ourselves
And we knew it
So tell me where you've been
And I'll show you were you're going
You can shout, you can scream
Your way through it:
Well time rushes an ahead - enough said
That's just the way we blew it
Time marches on ahead - one day you'll see it;
Love is a fine blue line
Time races on ahead - enough said
That's just the way we blew it
Time marches on ahead - one day you'll see it
Love is the fine blue line
Running through it
ROBERT PLANT lyrics - One More Cup Of Coffee
(Bob Dylan)
Your breath is sweet
Your eyes are like two jewels in the sky.
Your back is straight, your hair is smooth
On the pillow where you lie.
I don't sense affection
No gratitude or love
Your loyalty is not to me
But to the stars above.
One more cup of coffee for the road,
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go
To the valley below.
Your daddy he's an outlaw
And a wanderer by trade
He'll teach you how to pick and choose
And how to throw the blade.
He oversees his kingdom
So no stranger dare intrude
His voice it trembles as he calls
For another plate of food.
One more cup of coffee for the road,
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go
To the valley below.
Your sister sees the future
Like your mama and yourself.
You've never learned to read or write
There's no books upon your shelf.
Your pleasure knows no limits
Your voice is like a lark
But your heart is like an ocean
Mysterious and dark.
One more cup of coffee for the road,
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go
To the valley below.
PULP lyrics - There Was
We're talking again
Smiling and laughing
Ignoring the past
Well I hope you're happy
I know there was something
Please don't let it die away
I know what you're thinking
I know what you want to say
I won't give it names
For names have no uses
Just shots in the dark or easy excuses
I know there was something
Please don't let it die away
I know what you're thinking
I know what you want to say
Lala lala...
I know there was something
Please don't let it die away
I know what you're thinking
I know what you want to say.

LOS LOBOS lyrics - Emily
(David Hidalgo/Louie Perez)
Emily, take me 'cross the water home
Emily, look how much we have grown
Emily, I still remember the day
Waking up, chasing the shadows away
It won't be long 'til I see your face
Eyes as bright as the sun
It won't be far down this lonesome road
'Til I see you again
Emily, run so fast through the fields
Make believe, all our dreams were so real
It won't be long 'til I see you smile
Turning my night into day
It won't be far down this lonely way
'Til I can hold you again
Emily we can hide, hide from them all
Emily, they can't catch us
They can't catch us now
They can't catch us now
They can't catch us now
U2 lyrics - Grace
Grace
She takes the blame
She covers the shame
Removes the stain
It could be her name
Grace
It's a name for a girl
It's also a thought that
Changed the world
And when she walks on the street
You can hear the strings
Grace finds goodness
In everything
Grace
She's got the walk
Not on a wrapper on chalk
She's got the time to talk
She travels outside
Of karma, karma
She travels outside
Of karma
When she goes to work
You can hear the strings
Grace finds beauty
In everything
Grace
She carries a world on her hips
No champagne flute for her lips
No twirls or skips
Between her fingertips
She carries a pearl
In perfect condition
What once was hers
What once was friction
What left a mark
No longer stains
Because grace makes beauty
Out of ugly things
Grace finds beauty
In everything
Grace finds goodness
In everything
CHICAGO lyrics - All Is Well
(Robert Lamm)
All is well again
I think I'm gonna be alright
And I'm feeling better
Again
Loving you was sad
Affairs of timing that were bad
And the laughing ended
Again
There was a time
When I thought I was fooling myself
But now, I'll take a bow
'Cause I'm free and easy

A. C. REED lyrics - I Got Mad
(Aaron Carthen Reed)
Come home this mornin' my woman she treated me like dirt
Just because I had lipstick on my shirt
She looked at me she made a nasty crack
I said, "Please, please woman get off-a my back"
I got mad (got mad baby)
Got so mad (I got a bad little baby)
I got mad you can see
That woman tryin' to beat the hell out-a me
I got the meanest woman that you ever seen
That woman tried to beat the hell out of me
She said, "I'm tired of you foolin' around"
Then she picked up a brick an damn near knocked me down
I got mad (got made baby)
Got so mad (I got a bad little baby)
I got mad you can see that woman tryin' to beat the hell out of me
Now I thought of ev'ry night and day
That kinda love can't go on that way
That woman she said, "You tryin' to be slick"
She said, "I will take this knife and I will cut off your prick!"
I got mad (I got mad baby)
Got so mad (I got a bad little baby)
I got mad you can see that woman tryin' to beat the hell out of me
Whoa yeah
I got mad (I got a bad little baby)
Got so mad (I got a bad little baby)
I got mad (I got a bad little baby)
I stay so mad (I got a bad little baby)
I got mad you can see that woman tried to beat the hell out of me

JANET JACKSON lyrics - Every Time
I'm afraid I'm starting to feel
What I said I would not do
The last time really hurt me
[BRIDGE:]
I'm scared to fall in love
Afraid to love so fast
Cuz everytime I fall in love
It seems to never last
[CHORUS:]
But every time your love is near
And every time I'm filled with fear
Cuz every time I see your face
My heart does begin to race everytime
One half wants me to go
One half wants me to stay
I just get so all confused
I'm scared to fall in love
Afraid to love so fast
Cuz every time I fall in love
It seems to never last
[BRIDGE]
[CHORUS]
[BRIDGE]
[CHORUS]
It's everytime
It's everytime
Cuz. . .
Everytime your love is near
And every time I'm filled with fear
Cuz every time I see your face
Could it be that this will be the one that lasts?
The fear does start to erase every time
Oh could it be that this will be the one that lasts
For all my times
Ooh yeah
For all my times
DAVID BYRNE lyrics - Un Di Felice, Eterea
(Giuseppe Verdi)
[From "La Traviata"]
Un di, felice, eterea,
Mi balenaste innante,
E da quel di tremante
Vissi d'ignoto amor.
Di quell'amor ch'e palpito
Dell'universo, Dell'universo intero,
Misterioso, Misterioso altero,
Croce e, Croce e delizia
Croce e delizia, delizia al cor.
Misterioso, Misterioso altero,
Croce e delizia al cor.
Croce e delizia al cor.
Delizia, delizia al cor.
Delizia, delizia al cor.
Croce e delizia, delizia al cor
Croce e delizia al cor.
STEVE EARLE lyrics - Breed
(Kurt Cobain)
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
Care if I'm old
I don't mind
I don't mind
I don't mind
I don't mind
Mind
Don't have a mind
Get away
Get away
Get away
Get away
Get away
Away from your home
I'm afraid
I'm afraid
I'm afraid
I'm afraid
Fraid, of a ghost
Even if you have
Even if you need
I don't mean to stare
We don't have to breed
We can plant a house
We can build a tree
I don't even care
We could have all three
She said
She said
She said
ELVIS PRESLEY lyrics - What Now My Love
(Sigman - Becaud)
What now my love
Now that you left me
How can I live through another day
Watching my dreams turn into ashes
And all my hopes into bits of clay
Once I could see, once I could feel
Now I'm a numb
I've become unreal
I walk the night, oh, without a goal
Stripped of my heart, my soul
What now my love
Now that it's over
I feel the world closing in on me
Here comes the stars
Tumbling around me
And there's the sky where the sea should be
What now my love
Now that you're gone
I'd be a fool to go on and on
No one would care, no one would cry
If I should live or die
What now my love
Now there is nothing
Only my last goodbye
Only my last goodbye

AMERICA lyrics - My Kinda Woman
I've been in love, girl, so many times before
They'd love me and leave me, I thought I knew the score
I'd fall in love no more
I was walking in shadows then, my life a lonely road
I was walking to nowhere, with a heavy loaded heart
To laugh I played the part
(Do, do, do... ) Then came that magic day
I saw you as you walked my way
Here she comes, my kinda woman
Here she comes, my kinda woman
Yeah, you're my kinda woman
And I can't help but tell you that you are (you are)
Yes, you know you are
Girl, you know you are (yes you are, you know you are, you know you are)
The longer together then, the more we fell in love
No makin' or breakin' up, now I know I found real love
And I can't get enough (oo, I love you, I really love you)
So good to be winnin' now, I never thought I'd do
You got me spinnin', honey it's all down to you
You're there to see me through (oo, I love you, I really love you, yes I love you)
(Do, do, do... ) And from just one kiss
Who would believe that it would be like this
Here she comes, my kinda woman
Here she comes, my kinda woman
Yeah, you're my kinda woman
And I can't help but tell you that you are (you are)
Yes, you know you are
Girl, you know you are (yes you are, you know you are, you know you are)
My kinda woman I know that this is really love
There'll be no breakin' up, oh no
Here she comes, my kinda woman
Here she comes, my kinda woman
Yeah, you're my kinda woman
And I can't help but tell you that you are (you are)
Yes, you know you are
Girl, you know you are (yes you are, you know you are)
Oh, yes you are
NEIL DIAMOND lyrics - Soggy Pretzels
You were cryin' in your pretzels when I met you
You were washing
All the salt away from the dough
You were cryin' in your pretzels
And I'll never forget you
But, baby, just why, I'll ever know
Cryin' in your pretzels
Cryin' in your beer
Cryin' on the table
That's where I found you dear
[Spoken:]
Yes, my sweet I came into that bar
It was in Mississippi
There you were, sitting in the corner
Crying in your pretzels
You'd already sogged up
A whole plate of potato chips
But the management didn't mind
Because you were a regular customer
And I saw you sittin' there and I said
"That person needs a friend,
And I'm gonna be a friend
Ain't nobody deserves to cry in his pretzels
All night and wash away the salt."
So I kinda sided up to you and I said,
"What can I do for you? How can I help you?
What can I do to ease the pain?"
Well, you were cryin' in your pretzels
Oh, you were cryin' in your beer
Yes, that was the night I meet you
And I'll always hold you near

SARAH MCLACHLAN lyrics - Train Wreck
Would your love in all its finery
Tear at the darkness all around me
Until I can breathe again
Until I can believe again
[Chorus:]
'Cause I'm a train wreck waiting to happen
Waiting for someone to come pick me up off the tracks
A wild fire born of frustration
Born of the one love that gets me so high
I've no fear at all
Would your eyes like midnight fireflies
Light up the trenches where my heart lies
Until I can see again
To find my way back again
[Chorus]
To fall so deep into you
Lose myself completely
In your sweet embrace
All my pain's erased
From your mouth it's all that I wish
The mercy of your lips just one kiss
Until I can breathe again
Until I can sing again
[Chorus]
To fall so deep into you
Lose myself completely
In your sweet embrace
All my pain's erased

BARBRA STREISAND lyrics - It Had To Be You
(Kahn and Jones)
Seems like dreams like I always had
Could be, should be making me glad
Why am I blue?
It's up to you to explain
I'm thinking maybe, baby, I'll go away
Someday, some way, you'll come and say
It's you I need and you'll be pleading in vain
It had to be you, it had to be you
I wondered around, finally found somebody who
Could make me be true, could make me be blue
And even be glad, just to be sad
Thinking of you
Some others I've seen,
Might never be mean, might never be cross,
Or try to be boss, but they wouldn't do
'Cause nobody else gave ma a thrill
With all your faults, I love you still
It had to be you, crazy old you, it had to be you
RAY CHARLES lyrics - Soon
Soon, maybe not tomorrow
But soon there'll just be two of us.
Soon you and I will borrow
The moon for just the two of us.
Sweetly and so discreetly
We'll be completely alone
No other world, only our own.
Now we must be contented
With schemes about the two of us.
Yet we can have our sweet-scented dreams
That will come true of us.
For presently and pleasantly
Our hearts will be in tune
So soon, maybe not tomorrow, but soon.
MODERN TALKING lyrics - Slow Motion
My tears will never dry
Behind my painted smile
You are the nearest thing to heaven, girl
This world is not my home
Love in a danger zone
Some hearts are better left unbroken, girl
Slowmotion, baby
Hold on tight
Slow-slowmotion, baby
Deep inside
Slow-slowmotion, baby
I got hooked on you
I know it isn't true
Slowmotion, baby
Full of pride
Slow-slowmotion, baby
I have cried
Slow-slowmotion, baby
'Cause only love knows why
I know I wanna die
Good love can never die
Inside my love's alive
Take it of him, my babe
They just don't need
Just when I needed you most
Oh babe, God only knows
I'm lost without your love in me, baby

MARK KNOPFLER lyrics - Marbletown
Roll out here mister
If you need a lttle rest
Lay me down in marbletown
A bone yard is the best
There was a bad bull on the railroad
Tried to put me off his train
Lay me down in marbletown
'Til the coast is clear again
I can hear them a - hollerin'
'We got a man down here
We got a man down'
I'm gonna flip me a cannonball
That won't stop for anyone
Lay me down in marbletown
Wait 'til morning comes
I'm gonna roll out here in the tombstones
Wait here on my train
Lay me down in marbletown
I hope that it don't rain
And I can still hear them hollerin
''We got a man down here
We got a man down'
Roll out here mister
If you need a little rest
Lay me down in marbletown
A bone yard is the best
DAVID BYRNE lyrics - Girls On My Mind
Seems like ev'rywhere I go
Seems like ev'rything I do
Seems like ev'rything I dream about
Seems like ev'rywhere I look
Well I got girls, girls on my mind
I think about them mostly all the time
Oh - so tell me what you'd do?
Oh - if you were in my shoes?
No, thank you, please, I'm only looking
I don't believe we've met before
I guess I've died and went to heaven
Or else I'm lookin' out my nose
And I got girls, girls on my mind
I think about them sometimes all the time
Oh - well what about tonight?
Okay - what about today?
People say that I am crazy
People say that I am strange
But I don't care about what people say
They can't see inside my brain
I've got girls girls girls girls girls girls in my mind
Ev'ry little girl - stays in my mind
Well I don't wanna know - they're all around my mind
Flying all around - they're all around my mind
Oh - and when I get to sleep
Oh - I pray my soul to keep
I'm the star of my own movie
Honey, I'm the leading man
You might ask yourself - who is that guy?
With the girls upon his mind?
I got girls girls girls girls girls girls in my mind
Ev'ry little girl - stays in my mind
I remember 'em all - they're all in my mind
Long, short 'n' tall - stayin' in my mind
Flyin' all around
All around my mind
Flyin' up and down
Goin' through my mind
Ev'ry little girl
All through my mind
Ev'ry little girl
Stay in my mind
JOHN (COUGAR) MELLENCAMP lyrics - Sometimes A Great Notion
Never give an inch, that's what I say, son.
When it's too tough for everybody else,
Hell, it's just right for me.
Now, my lips are bleeding
From the selfish things that I've done,
And my heart it lies at the bottom of the ocean.
Sometimes a great notion...
Wanted to make love to my girl
In the backseat of my car.
So, I took her to the drive-in picture show.
So, I filled her up with
Lies and a strong love potion
And I'm sittin' here watching the movie alone.
Sometimes a great notion...
Sometimes the best plans
Have been known to go astray.
So, you better put your seatbelt on.
Just like your worst headache,
Well, a bad day don't go away.
And, you hit the ground running against your emotions.
Sometimes a great notion...
Sometimes a great notion...
ELVIS COSTELLO lyrics - Little Atoms
I arose and Marigold lay down with Curious Iris
Cherry gave to Victor her prudence and her virus
For the sake of purity I can recall the time and place
Between Wisdom and Murder she gave up her immaculate face
[Chorus:]
My poor belated chastity fell foul of grown up games,
With false and lovely modesty
I can recall the names I'll miss
In the particle of me that cares for this
I betrayed those little atoms with a kiss
Patience has her virtue still
but every grace must have its price
I through some felicity may spin a tale of constant vice
I took my better nature out, drowned it in the babbling stream
Took the blossom of my youth and blew it all to smithereens
[Chorus]
And if you still don't like my song then you can just go to hell
I don't care if I'm right or wrong or if my typewriter can spell
But I cannot promise you I've said "Goodbye" to childish things
There's still some pretty insults left and such sport in threatening
[Chorus]
And for the sake of clarity
They are "Faith", "Hope", and "Charity"
In the particle of me that cares for this
I betrayed those little atoms with a kiss

BRIAN WILSON lyrics - Be My Baby
The night we met I knew I needed you so
And if I had the chance I'd never let you go
So won't you say you love me
I'll make you so proud of me
We'll make 'em turn their heads
Every place we go
So won't you please
(Be my be my baby) Be my little baby
(I want it only say) Say you'll be my darling
(Be my be my baby) Be my baby now
(I want it only say) Ooh, ohh, ohh, oh
I'll make you happy, baby
Just wait and see
For every kiss you give me
I'll give you three
Oh, since the day I saw you
I have been waiting for you
You know I will adore you
Till eternity
So won't you please
(Be my be my baby) Be my little baby
(I want it only say) Say you'll be my darling
(Be my be my baby) Be my baby now
(I want it only say) Ooh, ohh, ohh, ohh, oh

(I want it only say) Oh, oh, oh, oh, oooohh...
MARIANNE FAITHFULL lyrics - Sloth
Family
Will she now?... will our Anna pull herself together?
(lazy bones are for the devil's stockpot?)
For she was always quite a one for an armchair;
(lazy bones are for the devil's stockpot?)
Unless you came and hauled her off the mattress
(lazy bones are for the devil's stockpot?)
The lazy slug would lie in bed all morning.
(lazy bones are for the devil's stockpot?)
Otherwise, Anna Is, we must admit, a most respectful child.
(lazy bones are for the devil's stockpot?)
Did what she was told and showed affection for her parents.
(lazy bones are for the devil's stockpot?)
This is what we told her when she left home:
(lazy bones are for the devil's stockpot?)
"think of us, and mind you keep your nose down to the grindstone."
(lazy bones are for the devil's stockpot?)
O lord, look down upon our daughter,
Show her the way that leads the good to thy reward,
In all her doings preserve her and comfort her,
Incline her heart to observe all thy commandments
That her works on earth may prosper.
BEE GEES lyrics - Give A Hand, Take A Hand
I wish the world was run by all the little children
We could be happy once again
We won't hurt when we're like little children
And we won't ever feel the pain
Now when my fight for life on earth is over
And I leave 'cause I can't stay
All my love belongs to you hereafter
And we'll all join hand another day
Ev'rybody's got to give a hand
Ev'rybody's got to take a hand
Ev'rybody's got t fall in love, yeah
To make ev'rybody understand
Ev'rybody's got to give, take a hand
I love you, yes I do
I told you a million times now
Now do you believe the words I say
All my life belongs to you hereafter
And we'll all join hands another day
Ev'rybody's got to give a hand
Ev'rybody's got to take a hand
Ev'rybody's got to fall in love, yeah
To make ev'rybody understand
Ev'rybody's got to give, take a hand
Ev'rybody's got to give a hand
Ev'rybody's got to take a hand
Ev'rybody's got to fall in love, yeah
To make ev'rybody understand
Ev'rybody's got to give, take a hand

GOLDEN EARRING lyrics - Johnny Make Believe
(G. Kooymans/B. Hay)
Waitress, more wine
We celebrate, the life and times of Johnny Make Believe
He was the greatest liar, of all mankind
The biggest drunk, you ever saw alive
He was a devil, undisguised
He will be sorely missed tonight
And the next day, will never be the same
Without the beautiful Johnny Make Believe
So let's get high, laugh till we cry
Always remember, his last words
"farewell cruel world, all you pretty girls,
Don't send me flowers, hold me in your dreams"
And then the spirit in the bottle
Took our Johnny for a ride
Come on waitress, pour us more wine
To drown our grief
For Johnny Make Believe
He tattooed my heart, branded my soul
He said: Go for true love, not for fool's gold
So let's get high, laugh till we cry
Always remember, his last words
"farewell cruel world, all you pretty girls
Don't send me flowers, hold me in your dreams"
And then the spirit in the bottle
Took our Johnny for a ride
Come on waitress, pour us more wine
To drown our grief
For Johnny Make Believe
La, la, la, lala, la, la, la, la, etc., etc.
CARLY SIMON lyrics - Film Noir
(J. Webb/C. Simon)
Got on in New Haven
Last car on the train.
Put my hat on the seat,
Wipe the tears from my eyes.
I watched my life go by,
Like a movie in my brain.
Scenes unreeling;
In a sceneless chain
On the window,
and a silver screen of rain!
And the opening title scroll,
and the score comes in and under.
And I'm in the starring role,
in a world of love-struck wonder;
It's a tale full of promise, about two crazy kids;
Falling in love, but in flashback.
And then the music,
that gorgeous music;
And I wake up,
Rattling down the railroad track.
He could be sweet,
But I stayed on my guard.
Just how good a liar
can a decent man be?
I always played my hand
Like I didn't have the cards.
Cause he held them all
So I could never see.
Yes, he played me for a fool,
and I agreed.
And the closing credits roll,
And the waves come in like thunder.
Cause the hero's lost control,
And I made a fatal blunder.
Just another sad story;
Two star-crossed kids,
Racing headlong up a cul-de-sac.
And then that music,
That mournful music.
And the train's disappearing
Down that railroad track.
And the long, slow dissolve,
As we fade to black.
OTIS REDDING lyrics - Dum-Dum-Dum (Happy Song)
When I sing this song

She s the only one that can bring me joy
Thats why, I sing these happy songs They go

BARCLAY JAMES HARVEST lyrics - Waiting For The Right Time
Seems to me, the time has come
Party's over, you sit by the 'phone
Through the daytime, you're gonna be all right
But when the night time comes
You're gonna be alone
Even though your heart is breaking
I see it in your eyes
Even though there's no mistaking
I see there's no disguise
Waiting for the right time
To call out your name
Oh, the right time
To see you again
Oh, the right time
To reach out and touch your face
We said goodbye in the morning
Streets were empty and pouring rain
All the worries, all the bad times
Will simply fly right out of here
When I speak your name
Even though your heart is breaking
I see it in your eyes
Even though there's no mistaking
I see there's no disguise
Waiting for the right time
To call out your name
Oh, the right time
To see you again
Oh, the right time
To reach out and touch your face

DAVE DAVIES lyrics - Milk Cow Blues
Well I've tried everything to get along with you
But I'm gonna tell ya what I'm gonna do
I'm sick of all your crying, gonna leave you alone
If you don't believe I'm going
You can count the days I'm gone
I'm gonna leave
Gonna leave you lovin' baby, oh some day
Well if you don't believe I'm going
Watch me leaving you this way
Won't you please, well that sun looks good going down
Won't you please, well that sun looks good going down
But don't that ol' moon look lonesome when your baby's not around
Won't you please, don't that sun look good going down
Won't you please, don't that sun look good going down
But don't that ol' moon look lonesome when your baby's not around
THE ANIMALS lyrics - Gonna Send You Back To Walker
You had nothin' when I met you baby
But look what you got now
Sometimes I wonder, did I make a mistake
When I brought you to the south
Gonna send you back to Walker
Girl, that's where you belong
Since you been got in the big city
Well you been started treatin' me wrong
Your mama and your daddy done told me baby
Not to bring you to the south
I brought you to the city
And the bright lights knocked you out
I'm gonna send you back to Walker
Girl that's where you belong, I know
Since you been got in the big city
Well you been started treatin' me wrong
Your mama and your daddy done told me baby
Not to bring you to the south
I brought you from the city
And the bright lights knocked you out
I'm gonna send you back to Walker
Girl that's where you belong, I know baby
Since you've been got in the big city
Well you been started treatin' me wrong
I know you been treatin' me wrong
Ah, so long
I'm gonna send you back where you belong
Alright, alright
Put you down
Send you back home
Goodbye Baby
So long
Hey, hey, goodbye baby
BLONDIE lyrics - Background Melody (The Only One)
I know what I'm made of
By what's inside of me
Maybe science, maybe giants
Maybe just a mystery
Maybe the mother of invention
Is really intensity
And baby when they made you
I was the background melody
A partner to the feeling
Now you're a part of me
So be the only one who cares
The only one who dares
The only one who sees
The only one who dreams
Be the only one who tries
The only one who cries
Be the only one for me, for me
Don't think I'm fantasizing
I didn't make it up
Lots of people tell me things
Things about their love
How the music that was playing low
How they made you in the afterglow
I didn't see 'em do the body rock
I didn't feel the after shocks
But baby when they made you
I was the background melody
So be the only one who cares
The only one who dares
The only one to dance
The one who takes a chance
Be the only one who's real
The only one who feels
Be the only one who loves
You may think I'm egocentric
But I'm only centered some of the time
I want you to remember
I wanna be the tune you can't get out of your mind
I wasn't there to see the pressure drop
I didn't do the momma and pop
Baby when they made you I was the background melody
Was it the lady or the tiger
Who was the bottom who was the top
Oh baby when they made you I was the background melody
So be the only one who cares
The only one who dares
The only one who sees
The only one who dreams
Be the only one who tries
The only one who cries
Be the only one for me, for me

CARLY SIMON lyrics - Spring Is Here
(Rodgers & Hart)
Once there was a thing called Spring
When the world was writing
Verses like yours and mine
All the boys and girls would sing
As we sat at little tables and drank May wine
Now April, May and June
Seem sadly out of tune
Life has stuck a pin in the balloon
Spring is here, Why doesn't my heart go dancing
Spring is here, why isn't the waltz entrancing
No desire, no ambition leads me
Maybe it's because nobody needs me
Spring is here, why doesn't the breeze delight me
Stars appear, why doesn't the night invite me
Maybe it's because nobody loves me
Spring is here
Spring is here
Spring is here
I hear
NICK CAVE AND THE BAD SEEDS lyrics - Straight To You
All the towers of ivory are crumbling
And the swallows have sharpened their beaks
This is the time of our great undoing
This is the time that I'll come running
Straight to you
For I am captured
Straight to you
For I am captured
One more time
The light in our window is fading
The candle gutters on the ledge
Well now sorrow, it comes a-stealing
And I'll cry, girl, but I'll come a-running
Straight to you
For I am captured
Straight to you
For I am captured
Once again
Gone are the days of rainbows
Gone are the nights of swinging from the stars
For the sea will swallow up the mountains
And the sky will throw thunder-bolts and sparks
Straight at you
But I'll come a-running
Straight to you
But I'll come a-running
One more time
Heaven has denied us its kingdom
The saints are drunk howling at the moon
The chariots of angels are colliding
Well, I'll run, babe, but I'll come running
Straight to you
For I am captured
Straight to you
For I am captured
One more time

MICHAEL MCDONALD lyrics - Maria
The most beautiful sound I ever heard:
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria...
All the beautiful words of the world in a single
word:
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria...
Maria!
I've just met a girl named Maria,
And suddenly that name
Will never be the same
To me.
Maria!
I've just kissed a girl named Maria,
And suddenly I've found
How wonderful a sound
Can be!
Maria!
Say it loud and there's music playing,
Say it soft and it's almost like praying.
Maria,
I'll never stop saying Maria!
The most beautiful sound I ever heard.
Maria.

JACKSON 5 / THE JACKSONS lyrics - Come 'Round Here I'm The One You Need
(Edward Holland, Jr., Lamont Dozier & Brian Holland)
Now you say
Everytime you need some affection
The one you love goes in another direction
You just sit back in a day reminiscing
'Cause you know some other lips he's been kissing
Now when you need the love you never saw
You come around here
And when you need some loving arms to hold you
Come around here
Now I may not be the one you want
(Honey, Honey)
But I know I'm the one you need
(Honey, Honey)
Say now, I may not be the one you want
(Honey, Honey)
But I know I'm the one you need
(Honey, Honey)
Your life stands still the minute he goes
You count the hours just hoping that he shows
Girl, can't you see while you're longing for his touch
(Honey, Honey)
That I'm the one who loves you so much
(Honey, Honey)
And while you're longing for his embrace
(Honey, Honey)
You're all alone with the tears on your face
(Honey, Honey)
Now when you feel the need to cry to someone
Cry to me
And when you feel the need to lean on someone
Lean on me
Now, I may not be the one you want
(Honey, Honey)
But I'm sure that I'm the one you need
(Honey, Honey)
Oh baby, I may not be the one you want
(Honey, Honey)
But I'm sure I'm the one you need
(Honey, Honey)
Now, the days, the days, the days
You sit alone by yourself
He's out fooling around with somebody else
Leaving you alone here with nothing to do
He's just waiting till he has time for you
Now when the loneliness get hard to bear, girl
Come around here
And when you need a little tender love and care, girl
Come around here
Now, I may not be the one you want
(Honey, Honey)
But I'm sure I'm the one you need
(Honey, Honey)
Oh baby, I may not be the one you want
(Honey, Honey)
Babe, babe, babe, babe, baby
Oh now, oh now, I may not be the one you want
But, I'm sure I'm the one you need

GEORGE MICHAEL lyrics - Heal The Pain
(George Michael)
Let me tell you a secret
Pur it in your heart and keep it
Something that i want you to know
Do something for me
Listen to my simple story
And maybe we'll have something to show
You tell me you're old on the inside
How can the outside world
Be a place that your heart can embrace
Be good to yourself
Because nobody else
Has the power to make you happy
How can i help you
Please let me try to
I can heal the pain
That you're reeling inside
Whenever you want me
You know that i will be
Waiting for the day
That you say you'll be mine
He must have really hurt you
To make you say the things that you do
He must have really hurt you
To make those pretty eyes look so blue
He must have known
That he could
That you'd never leave him
Now you can't see my love is good
And that i'm not him
How can i help you
Please let me try to
I can heal the pain
Won't you let me inside
Whenever you want me
You know that i will be
Waiting for the day
That you say you'll be mine
Who needs a lover
That can't be a freind
Something tells me i'm the one you've been looking for
If you ever should see him again
Won"t you tell him you've found someone who gives you more
Someone who will protect you
Love and respect you
All those things
That he never could bring to you
Like i do
Or rather i would
Won't you show me your heart
Like you should
Won't you let me in
Let this love begin
Won't you show me your heart now
I'll be good to you
I can make this true
And get to your heart somehow
JOHNNY MATHIS lyrics - Caroling, Caroling
Caroling, caroling, now we go
Christmas bells are ringing
Caroling, caroling thru the snow
Christmas bells are ringing
Joyous voices sweet and clear
Sing the sad of heart to cheer
Ding dong, ding dong
Christmas bells are ringing
Caroling, caroling thru the town
Christmas bells are ringing
Caroling, caroling up and down
Christmas bells are ringing
Mark ye well the song we sing
Gladsome tidings now we bring
Ding dong, ding dong
Christmas bells are ringing!
Caroling, caroling, near and far
Christmas bells are ringing
Following, following yonder star
Christmas bells are ringing
Sing we all this happy morn
"Lo, the King of heav'n is born!"
Ding dong, ding dong
Christmas bells are ringing
GREG BROWN lyrics - Out In The Country
Out in the country, gravel road a-ramble all around.
Out in the country, gravel road a-ramble all around.
And the dust blow up 'til the cool rain tumble down.
I'm a redwing blackbird sit singin' on the fence.
I'm a redwing blackbird sing sittin' on the fence.
Say it's OK all day, but nobody seems convinced.
I'm a little old pasture creek; they got no name for me.
I'm a little pasture creek, got no name for me.
When I grow up, I'm gonna be the Mississippi.
I'm a farmer's long shiny car runnin' out of gas.
I'm a farmer's long shiny car runnin' out of gas.
And the bikes and the tracks and the mopeds whizzin' past.
I'm a chick-chickie-chicken peckin' in the corn.
I'm a chickie-chickie-chicken peckin' in the corn.
My mama says I was round when I was born.
(But I don't believe that.)
I'm a little old raccoon; I got candles in my eyes.
I'm a little raccoon, I got candles in my eyes.
Stay away from the road or else I might draw flies.
(Just lyin' there.)
Out in the country, gravel road a-ramble all around.
Out in the country, gravel road a-ramble all around.
And the farm get bigger and the old home place fall down.
I'm a grain elevator white as a china dish.
I'm a grain elevator white as a china dish.
Tall as a satellite, fat as an old catfish.
I'm a July cornfield far as you can see.
I'm a July cornfield far as you can see.
And if you real careful, you can walk on top of me.
(Ah, you got to believe though. Now first you get your one foot up there,
And then you gotta get your other foot up there. Easy now...oops, you
Didn't believe.)
I'm a cool farm pond on a day about a hundred and ten.
I'm a cool farm pond on a day about a hundred and ten.
I'm cool, I'm round, I'm ready, so come on in.
I'm a river valley; I used to be a mountain top.
I'm a river valley, I used to be a mountain top.
Once you go down, brother, it's hard to stop.
Out in the country, gravel road a-ramble all around.
Out in the country, gravel road a-ramble all around.
And the dust blow up 'til the cool rain tumble down.
Cool rain tumblin', cool rain tumblin', cool rain tumblin'....
And a cool rain, and a cool rain, tumblin'...
GLORIA ESTEFAN lyrics - Destiny
Destiny
Has once again surprised me
Oh destiny
Must want you here beside me
Quietly
Like the sunrise with its splendor
Unexpectedly
With a passion strong yet tender
You draw me in
Like the moon draws the tide
Swept away by this love
Taken in by your eyes
If I had to walk away from you
I know that it would be no use
'cause you're so deep inside of me
Can't deny
I never want to be set free
The more you give the more I need
You can't change what is meant to be
No you can't change destiny
Destiny
Destiny
Speaks with many voices
So eventually
We're obliged to make
Some choices
Oh destiny
Who I thought I owned completely
Just to toy with me
Made me fall in love so deeply
You fill my soul
Like the stars fill the sky
Brought to life
This new world
Where I'm held captive inside
If I had to walk away from you
I know that it would be no use
'cause you're so deep inside of me
Can't deny
I never want to be set free
The more you give the more I need
You can't change what is meant to be
No, you can't change destiny
If I had to walk away from you
I know that it would be no use
No you can't change destiny
No you can't change destiny
Destiny
Destiny
Destiny
LOU REED lyrics - Images
I think images are worth repeating
images repeated from a painting
Images taken from a painting
from a photo worth re-seeing
I love images worth repeating
project them upon the ceiling
Multiply them with silk screening
see them with a different feeling
Images, oh, images
Images, oh, images
Some say images have no feeling
I think there's a deeper meaning
Mechanical precision or so it's seeming
instigates a cooler feeling
I love multiplicity of screenings
things born anew display new meanings
I think images are worth repeating
and repeating and repeating
Images, oh, images
Images, images
I'm no urban idiot savant
spewing paint without any order
I'm no sphinx, no mystery enigma
what I paint is very ordinary
I don't think I'm old or modern
I don't think I think I'm thinking
It doesn't matter what I'm thinking
It's the images that are worth repeating
Ah, repeating, images
Images
If you're looking for a deeper meaning
I'm as deep as this high ceiling
If you think technique is meaning
you might find me very simple
You might think that images boring
Cars and cans and chairs and flowers
You might find me personally boring
Hammer, sickle, Mao Tse Tong
Mao Tse Tong
Images, images, images
I think that it bears repeating
the images upon the ceiling
I love images worth repeating
and repeating and repeating
Images, images
Oh, images, oh, images
JOHN DENVER lyrics - Away In A Manger
(Traditional)
Away in a manger, no crib for his bed. The little Lord Jesus lay down his sweet head.
The stars in the sky looked down where he lay, the little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.
The cattle are lowing, the poor baby wakes. But little Lord Jesus, no crying he makes.
I love thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky and stay by my side till morning is nigh.
Be near me Lord Jesus, I ask thee to stay close by me forever and love me, I pray.
Bless all the dear children in thy tender care and fit us for heaven to live with thee there.
Away in a manger, no crib for his bed. The little Lord Jesus lay down his sweet head.
The stars in the sky looked down where he lay, the little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.

TOTO lyrics - Gift With A Golden Gun
It's a twelve o'clock depression
My mind is in recession
And I can't answer you
It's the day I can't remember
I think it's late September
Or is it April blue
I can't find peace of mind in a world so unkind
It's just a little heartbreaker
Just a little heartbreaker, yeah
It's a sticky situation
When I'm near hallucination
And I refuse to bow
They used to think me funny
When I promised them their money
But they're not laughing now
I can't find peace of mind
Then she calls me just in time
She's a gift with a golden gun
And she's got them on the run
She's a gift with a golden gun
'Cause she knows what they've done
[Instrumental break]
I can't find peace of mind
Then she calls me just in time
She's a gift with a golden gun
And she's got them on the run
She's a gift with a golden gun
'Cause she knows what they've done
Just what they've done, done, done, done, done
What they've done, done, done, done, done
Just what they've done, done, done, done, done...
MOTORHEAD lyrics - Dogs Of War
Stand or fall, live or die (Stand)
Strong and true to the end (Now)
Fly the flag, let them see (Sky)
We will never bend the knee (Don't fail)
We are the last of all (Here)
If we give way we lose (No)
So can you stand with me? (We can)
Will you now pay your dues (Hai)
The tales they tell, of how we stand this day
We that defend our cause
Will last a thousand years
Come now the dogs of war
Break or hold, die or kill (Live)
Try or fail, or succeed (Fight)
We must be an iron wall (Hold)
When the heart receives the call (We go)
We are the least of them (Fight)
We are few, but we are brave (Yes)
So can you stand with me (We Will)
The tales they tell, of how we stood this day
We few that know the law
Will last a thousand years
Hear now the dogs of war
Sun is set, darkness falls (See)
Now comes the enemy (Beware)
Draw sword and shield defy (Hai)
All their wives must scream and cry (Stand fast)
We are the last hope now (Last)
Of all our people fair, so will you die with me (We do)
Will you now do your share (Hai)
The tales they tell, of what we do this day
We that guard the door
WIll last a thousand years
Let go the dogs of war

THE SCORPIONS lyrics - It All Depends
(Michael Schenker, Rudolf Schenker, Klaus Meine, Wolfgang Dziony, Lothar Heimberg)
Yeah!
Takes my dinner
Drinks my beer
Spends my money
But I don't care
She's my love
She's my dear
Love is here
I was there
Ahhh!
Yeah!
JOAN ARMATRADING lyrics - Back To The Night
Leaves burnt by the sun
And there's no wind blowing
See the motor cars with a smiling face at the wheel
I'm watching the little girls
With their young men at their heels
It's a sunny day
But get me back to the night
'Cause I love that life
Back to the night
Like a skinny burlesque queen
I love a neon
Skyline
Sweet smiling rose
The night life perfume
See the romeos dancing under the moon light
I see the night
Night was made for romance
You keep your sunny day
Just get me back to the night
'Cause I love that life
Back to the night
Like those skinny burlesque queens
I love a neon skyline
Got the card sharks hustling
At the break of the moon
Gay night walkers
Old blues buskers
All night long there's just so much to do
Just get me back to the night
Oh I love the life
Back to the night
Like a skinny burlesque queen
I love a neon skyline
GENTLE GIANT lyrics - Mountain Time
Mountain time, mountain date. Hope to be there, before it's late
I need to see you, looking fine. Gotta be there, mountain time
Mountain time, mountain date. Hope to be there, before it's late
Last night I had to tell you, made up my mind I need to see you
Got on the road to ride
I thought all of it over, now I have to be at your side
Somewhere, be there
So hard seeing it your way. I'm glad, what more can I say
This lane taking me back today
JANET JACKSON lyrics - Trust A Try
Trust not an east thing you say
Never thought the game of love
This way you'd play
By the things you do
Never thought these things
I would go through with you
Pain trickery and deceit
All the wrongs that you put me through
If you don't wanna say
Still love you anyway
Never do believe my words
When I try telling you my story
Have no reason, still don't trust me
No I'm not a cheat or a liar
She brought love
She brought joy
She brought what she brought
You thought you'd never see again
She cheats and lied
Made you cry
Said goodbye
Bodies numb
Think you're never gonna feel again
Then what do you know
You take it slow
Here comes
Things go smooth
But dreams just around bend
Don't blame me for jealousies
Or insecurities
Please see
Cause I wouldn't do that to you
Don't smother me (with misery)
Accusing me (of polygamy)
If not the trust (then we have what)
Gotta be strong (oh keep holding on_
Wanna second chance with this love
This romance
Wanna make it last
Forget your past
She hurt you bad
Let's start anew
Yes that means me and you
Gonna make it through
But you must give trust a try
Gotta be strong with this love
Hold on
Gotta trust in me
And we will see true victory
We'll love with ease
Baby please trust in me
It'll be heavenly
But you must give trust a try
You got burned
You got bruised
You got
So you got a kick outta that
Unhealthy shit
You said to she
You'd please her needs
Whatever it'd be
Still she'd cheat
On her back again for the money
Now leave from it
You grow from it
Get over it
I won't take the blame
So don't
Cause I ain't having it
Steady given me
The third degree
That's so mean
Don't push me out the door
I wouldn't do that to you
Don't smother me (with misery)
Accusing me (of polygamy)
If not the trust (then we have what)
Gotta be strong (oh keep holding on_
Wanna second chance with this love
This romance
Wanna make it last
Forget your past
She hurt you bad
Let's start anew
Yes that means me and you
Gonna make it through
But you must give trust a try
Gotta be strong with this love
Hold on
Gotta trust in me
And we will see true victory
We'll love with ease
Baby please trust in me
It'll be heavenly
But you must give trust a try
Trust not an east thing you say
Never thought the game of love
This way you'd play
By the things you do
Never thought these things
I would go through with you
Pain trickery and deceit
All the wrongs that you put me through
If you don't wanna say
Still love you anyway
Never do believe my words
When I try telling you my story
Have no reason, still don't trust me
No I'm not a cheat or a liar
Don't smother me (with misery)
Accusing me (of polygamy)
If not the trust (then we have what)
Gotta be strong (oh keep holding on_
Wanna second chance with this love
This romance
Wanna make it last
Forget your past
She hurt you bad

Gonna make it through
But you must give trust a try
Gotta be strong with this love
Hold on
Gotta trust in me
And we will see true victory
We'll love with ease
Baby please trust in me
It'll be heavenly
But you must give trust a try

THE STEVE MILLER BAND lyrics - Tokin's
(Tim Davis)
Sittin' gettin' higher in the back of a limousine
While people all around me
They are finding it harder to dream
Impossible people seen only in nightmares
Are beginning to make it real
And disorder keeps fadin'
The times they are changin'
Well, I wish I was behind the wheel
So I could live it just a little bit longer
Do my best to make our love stronger
In a while I know it's gonna change
We've got to live it just a little bit longer
Do our best to make our love stronger
In a while I know it's gonna change
Well, time and time and time again
I've been stuck out in the rain
But life has been so doggone sweet
There's no reason to complain
But the time has come for all to be one
Yes, we can talk about it now
And from the middle of the mess
Here comes one more guess
And I know it's gonna work somehow
If we can live it just a little bit longer
Do our best to make our love stronger
In a while I know it's gonna change
We've got to live it just a little bit longer
Do our best to make our love stronger
In a while I know it's gonna change
Cause we've gotta live it just a little bit longer
Do our best to make our love stronger
In a while I know it's gonna change
We've got to live it just a little bit longer
Do our best to make our love stronger
In a while I know it's gonna change
Now who would ever believe it could happen
Right here in my hometown
Especially when it's so far north
Of the Mason-Dixon line
But some of the people they just won't forget
While others slip into regret
And if things keep goin' the way they're goin'
I just might get killed yet
But I wanna live it just a little bit longer
Do my best to make our love stronger
In a while I know it's gonna change
We've got to live it just a little bit longer
Do our best to make our love stronger
In a while I know it's gonna change
And in a while I know it's gonna change
And in a while I know it's gonna change
NEIL DIAMOND lyrics - Can Anybody Hear Me?
You got to take your time now,
If love is gonna take you by the hand
You need to take your time, though
'Cause love is not
A thing you can command
There's got to be a reason
Got to be a closeness
It's got to have a feelin'
Only you can know
And when you find love, hold on tight
Don't ever waste another night
You're gonna make it through
In spite of your fears
Can anybody hear me?
Is anybody out there?
I listen to the river
And hear the river callin' out her name
I'm tryin' to forgive her
But nothin's ever gonna be the same
There's got to be a reason
Got to be a closeness
It's got to have a feelin'
Only you can know
And when you find love, hold on tight
Don't ever waste another night
You're gonna make it through
In spite of your fears
Can anybody hear me?
Is anybody out there?
There's got to be a reason
Got to be a closeness
It's got to have a feelin'
Only you can know
And when you find love, hold on tight
Don't ever waste another night
You're gonna make it through
In spite of your fears
Can anybody hear me?
Is anybody out there?
Can anybody hear me?
Is anybody out there?
Can anybody out there hear me?
Can anybody out there hear me?
Can anybody out there hear me?

AMERICA lyrics - Pages
In this bookcase full of stories
You find some of them are true
Tales of love and glory
Many lives of daring-do
There is mystery and adventure
They lie waiting there for you
So step inside and find the other you
Take the high road tomorrow
But the low road today
Reading other's sorrow
Might just be the only way
The father hears confession
While the mother's feeling blue
These characters do what you want them to
In these pages we consume
Lives in many colors lovers in full bloom
And through the ages words are born
Speaking to the senses lifting the forlorn
There's glamour and dementia
A message from the tomb
Staircase to the heavens
And secrets in the room
When you are riding on that dark horse
To the one that got away
There's no regrets and no dues left to pay
'Cause in these pages we consume
Lives in many colors lovers in full bloom
And through the ages words are born
Speaking to the senses lifting the forlorn
Drifting down the river of the make believe
We laugh and grieve
Hoping for an ending of our own design
Where all is fine
In these pages we consume
Lives in many colors lovers in full bloom
And through the ages words are born
Speaking to the senses lifting the forlorn
In these pages we consume
Lives in many colors lovers in full bloom
And through the ages words are born...

THE SCORPIONS lyrics - Only A Man
(Rudolf Schenker, Klaus Meine, Herman Rarebell)
Well you know it is hard
Being a long time apart
But it's you that I love, don't you see
And when I go away
You say, please stay okay
I want you to stay only with me
Well you know it is hard
All these girls are so smart
And they see me all over the place
Well they phone me at night
Ask me out for a bite
I can see all the lust in their face
All these chicks really know
That next day I will go
And they will never see me again
So when I'm back home
And we both are alone
I can feel all you love and your pain
Woman, I'm only a man
Do the best that I can as you know
Woman, I'm only a man
Do the best that I can as you know
Now you know how I feel
Nothing is real
Well it's hard to say no
When you've done a good show
And they all want you to celebrate
Well I try to refuse
Try to make some excuse
But at this point it's mostly too late
Yeah, I start feeling good
And I get in the mood
I guess, you'll know what I mean
These chicks all around
It's so hard to keep count
It's like a schizophrenic dream
Woman, I'm only a man
Do the best that I can as you know
Woman, I'm only a man
Do the best that I can as you know
Now you know how I feel
Nothing is real
Well you know it is hard
Being a long time apart
But it's you that I love, don't you see
And when I go away
You say, please stay okay
I want you to stay only with me
Well you know it is hard
All these girls are so smart
And they see me all over the place
Well they phone me at night
Ask me out for a bite
I can see all the lust in their face
Woman, I'm only a man
Do the best that I can as you know
Woman, I'm only a man
Do the best that I can as you know
Now you know how I feel
Nothing is real
Woman, I'm only a man
Do the best that I can as you know
Woman, I'm only a man
Do the best that I can as you know
Now you know how I feel
Nothing is real
