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

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

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)

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

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

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
