ERIC CLAPTON lyrics - Lay Down Sally



(Eric Clapton, Marcy Levy and George Terry)



There is nothing that is wrong

In wanting you to stay here with me.

I know you've got somewhere to go,

But won't you make yourself at home and stay with me?

And don't you ever leave.



[Chorus:]

Lay down, Sally, and rest you in my arms.

Don't you think you want someone to talk to?

Lay down, Sally, no need to leave so soon.

I've been trying all night long just to talk to you.



The sun ain't nearly on the rise

And we still got the moon and stars above.

Underneath the velvet skies,

Love is all that matters. Won't you stay with me?

And don't you ever leave.



[Chorus]



I long to see the morning light

Coloring your face so dreamily.

So don't you go and say goodbye,

You can lay your worries down and stay with me.

And don't you ever leave.



[Chorus 2x]


AMY GRANT lyrics - The Water



Quicksand, my heart is sinking

I try to run but I can't stop thinking

I'm climbin' walls, I'm on the ceilin'

Its gonna take a miracle to heal me



[Chorus:]

I'm starin' down into the quarry

I see a stone for every sorry

I'm on the edge, I'm goin under

And after I die I'm gonna rise from the water



I wanna blast off,

let gravity disappear

I'm tired of fallin, fallin, fallin

from the weight of fear

Come and lift me up

into the clean and clear

I'm waitin' on you Jesus in the water here

So come and wash me clean



The sky is red, there's blood on my hands

Cant deny, you're clear where I stand

The burn of sin, I hear them shoutin'

Send me a river to drown this mountain



[Chorus]



Wash me clean...

Let it wash me, let is wash me, let it wash me clean



[Chorus]



I wanna blast off,

let gravity disappear

Come and lift me up,

into the clean and clear



Let it wash me, let it wash me, let it wash me clean

BEASTIE BOYS lyrics - I Don't Know



What's pleasing to the eye

In the delusion of my sight

Is not what I find when I reach into the light

I have lost my mind

I'm walking through time

Deluded as the next guy

Pretending and hoping to find

That distant peace of mind



I don't know

Who does know

There is no

Where to go



It's not so simple as I try to wish

But then again what is?

There is no other worthy quest

So on I go



I don't know

Who does know

There is no

Where to go



I don't know

Who does know

Where to go



I don't know

I don't know

I don't know

I don't know


ABBA lyrics - Take A Chance On Me



If you change your mind

I'm the first in line

honey I'm still free

take a chance on me

if you need me

let me know

gonna be around

if you got no place to go

when you're feeling down

if you're all alone

when the pretty birds have flown

honey I'm still free

take a chance on me

gonna do my very best

and it ain't no lie

if you put me to the test

if you let me try

take a chance on me

(that's all I ask of you honey)

take a chance on me



We can go dancing

we can go walking

as long as we're together

listen to some music

maybe just talking

you'd get to know me better

'cause you know I've got

so much that I wanna do

when I dream I'm alone with you

it's magic

you want me to leave it there

afraid of a love affair

but I think you know

that I can't let go



If you change your mind

I'm the first in line

honey I'm still free

take a chance on me

if you need me

let me know

gonna be around

if you got no place to go

when you're feeling down

if you're all alone

when the pretty birds have flown

honey I'm still free

take a chance on me

gonna do my very best

and it ain't no lie

if you put me to the test

if you let me try

take a chance on me

(come on, give me a break will ya)

take a chance on me



Oh you can take your time baby

I'm in no hurry

I know I'm gonna get you

you don't wanna hurt me

baby don't worry

I ain't gonna let you

let me tell you now

my love is strong enough

to last when things are rough

it's magic

you say that I waste my time

but I can't get you off my mind

no I can't let go

'cause I love you so



If you change your mind

I'm the first in line

honey I'm still free

take a chance on me

if you need me

let me know

gonna be around

if you got no place to go

when you're feeling down

if you're all alone

when the pretty birds have flown

honey I'm still free

take a chance on me

gonna do my very best

baby can't you see

gotta put me to the test

take a chance on me


MOTORHEAD lyrics - Rock It



Rock'n'roll, save your soul

An' I got it

Give it to me, loud and free

Don't knock it

Let me hear 'til the end of time

It's the only way

Send shivers up and down your spine

You can't stop it



[Chorus:]

I'm tellin' one more time

It ain't no crime

Rock it



It's the only way to fly

Gotta have it

Break thru gonna break you too

Better grab it

Let me hear it 'til the end of time

It's the only way

It'll stop you on a dime

Gotta have it



[Chorus]



Rock'n'roll music gonna stop the world

Can't lose it

It'll make your toenails curl

Can't defuse it

Let me hear it all the time

It's the only way

Gonna make ya feel alright

You can't excuse it



[Chorus]


KING CRIMSON lyrics - I Talk To The Wind



(McDonald/Sinfield)



Said the straight man to the late man

Where have you been

I've been here and I've been there

And I've been in between.



I talk to the wind

My words are all carried away

I talk to the wind

The wind does not hear

The wind cannot hear.



I'm on the outside looking inside

What do I see

Much confusion, disillusion

All around me.



You don't possess me

Don't impress me

Just upset my mind

Can't instruct me or conduct me

Just use up my time



I talk to the wind

My words are all carried away

I talk to the wind

The wind does not hear

The wind cannot hear.

ROBERT PLANT & ALISON KRAUSS lyrics - Trampled Rose



(Tom Waits-Kathleen Brennan)



Long way going to

Get my medicine

Sky's the autumn grey of a lonely wren



Piano from a window played

Gone tomorrow, gone yesterday



I found it in the street

At first I did not see

Lying at my feet

A trampled rose



Passing the hat in church

It never stops going around



You never pay just once

To get the job done



What I done to me,

I done to you

What happened to the trampled rose?



In the muddy street

With the fireworks and leaves



A blind man with a cup I asked

Would he sing 'Kisses Sweeter Than Wine'



I know that rose,

Like I know my name

The one I gave my love,

It was the same

Now I find it in the street,

A trampled rose


CELINE DION lyrics - Celine Et Pinotte



(Y. Ducharme, A. Noreau)



[Pinotte:]

Celine, as-tu fini d'acheter tes cadeaux de Noel?

[Celine:]

Ah oui Pinotte. J'ai trouve un quelque chose pour tous

Les noms que j'avais sur ma liste. Et toi, Pinotte?

[Pinotte:]

Ah non. Jai rien, rien d'achete. J'ai quasiment pas de sou.

C'est decourageant puis ca me fait assez de peine.

[Celine:]

Mais Pinotte y faut pas avoir de la peine voyons.

S'echanger des cadeaux c'est un symbole d'amour,

On s'amuse a se faire plaisir, a se faire des surprises.

[Pinotte:]

Ben, j'voulais acheter des belles grosses mitaines chaudes la,

Des mitaines de fourrure a ma mere et des gants pareils pour mon pere.

J'voulais leur faire plaisir,

Puis j'serai pas capable parce que j'ai assez d'argent.

[Celine:]

Mais voyons Pinotte, ta mere et ton pere le savent bien que tu

N'as pa assez de sous pour leur acheter de si gros cadeaux.

[Pinotte:]

Ben, eux-autres y vont m'en acheter des beaux gros cadeaux,

J'le sais, j'les connais, puis moi, ben j'vais pouvoir seulement acheter

Des p'tites affaires "niaiseuses", pas cheres. J'te dis que je vais avoir l'air fou. Je voulais tellement leur faire plaisir

[Celine:]

Mais, Pinotte, tu peux leur faie plaisir, leur montrer que tu les aimes sans

Que tu sois oblige de leur acheter des mitaines ou des gants de fourrure.

[Pinotte:]

Oui, je pourrais peut-etre acheter une boite de chocolat,

Ou bien un foulard, une cravate, mais "toute" coute cher,

Puis j'ai pas assez d'argent. Ah que ca va etre genant.

[Celine:]

Pinotte, t'as pas bien compris ce que je voulais dire, t'es pas

Oblige d'acheter quelque chose, tu peux le faire, le fabriquer ton cadeau.

[Pinotte:]

Voyons donc Celine, j'suis pas capable de faire des mitaines

[Celine:]

Non, mais tu peux faire autre chose.

Un cadeau de Noel pour quelq'un qu'on aime, surtout pour ta mere et

Ton pere, ca ne coute pas cher tu sais et les cadeaux dont je parle

Il est impossible de les acheter

[Pinotte:]

Comment c'est quoi ces cadeaux-la?

[Celine:]

La presence, le don de soi, l'amour mon cher Pinotte.

[Pinotte:]

Ouais, j'me demande ben comment j'vais faire pour envelopper ca moi.

[Celine:]

C'est pour ca qu'on dit que les plus beaux cadeaux ne sont pas enveloppes.

[Pinotte:]

Ah oui, ca j'ai deja entendu ma mere le dire.

[Celine:]

Tu l'as certainment entendu dire aussi

"Ce n'est pas le grosseur du cadeau qui compte, mais l'intention".

[Pinotte:]

Ah ben la, Celine, faudrait que tu la repetes celle-la

Si tu veux que je la comprenne.

[Celine:]

D'accord, ecoute bien. "Ce n'est pas ce que l'on donne qui est le plus important, mais la facon de donner".

[Pinotte:]

Ouais, ouais, je pense que je commence a comprendre la.

Pas "toute", mais assez pour savoir quoi donner a ma mere

Puis a mon pere comme cadeau de Noel. J'apprends pas pire hein?

[Celine:]

Bien oui Pinotte, quand on ecoute avec son coeur, et quand surtout,

On ecoute son coeur on apprend bien des choses Pinotte.

[Pinotte:]

La j'suis content, je l'ai, je l'ai le cadeau de Noel,

Pour ma mere puis mon pere en meme temps.

[Celine:]

Bon alors la, c'est fini la grosse peine Pinotte?

[Pinotte:]

Ah oui, j'suis assez content. Puis leur cadeau de Noel,

J'ai assez hate Celine de leur donner.

[Celine:]

Est-ce que je peux savoir Pinotte

Ce que tu as decide de leur offrir pour Noel?

[Pinotte:]

Certain, c'est toi Celine qui m'a donne l'idee.

Je vais prendre un beau carton de couleur que j'ai dans ma chambre,

Je vais le plier en deux pour faire une belle carte,

Et avec de beaux crayons

De couleurs dedans je vais ecrire:

"Maman et papa, merci de m'aimer. Moi aussi je vous aime, pour Noel,

Je vous donne toute ma vie".

[Celine:]

Ah que c'est beau Pinotte. J'suis tellement heureuse que t'aies compris,

Je suis certaine que tu vas leur donner le plus beau cadeau de leur vie.

[Pinotte:]

Celine?

[Celine:]

Oui?

[Pinotte:]

Merci pour l'idee du cadeau. Merci de m'avoir aide a comprendre.

Joyeux Noel. Celine je t'aime.

[Celine:]

Moi aussi je t'aime Pinotte, joyeux Noel.


BILLY IDOL lyrics - Cherie



(Billy Idol/Brian Tichy)



Like the moon moves the tides

You influence my mind

Like the planets and the stars

Keep the rhythm to your time

Are you happy with him?

Yes I let you go



[Chorus:]

Girl I love you

Cherie I love you so

Girl I love you

I was a fool to let you go



Like the alchemist

Who couldn't resist the devil's kiss

Base metal into gold

And the psychiatrist

Who's battling deep within his own soul

I was like them down the hole



[Chorus]



All the memories of your life

Like Venice in the spring

New York City summers

Paris, London winters' chill



[Chorus]



I love you so

Want you to know

I love you so



As the apples fall, the leaves turn

Make it too autumn's call

But you still know your way

Never be outdone at all

And if I falter I see it in our child



Girl I love you

Cherie I love you so

Girl I love you

No I won't let go



Girl I love you

Cherie I love you so

Girl I love you

No I can't let go



Girl I need your sunshine to feel alright

Girl I need your sunshine to feel alright



[Chorus]


BILLY IDOL lyrics - L. A. Woman



Well, I just got into town about an hour ago

Took a look around, see which way the wind blow

Where the little girls in their Hollywood bungalows



Are you a lucky little lady in The City of Light

Or just another lost angel...City of Night

City of Night, City of Night, City of Night, woo,

c'mon



L. A. Woman, L. A. Woman

L. A. Woman Sunday afternoon

L. A. Woman Sunday afternoon

L. A. Woman Sunday afternoon

Drive thru your suburbs

Into your blues, into your blues, yeah

Into your blue-blue Blues

Into your blues, ohh, yeah



I see your hair is burnin'

Hills are filled with fire

If they say I never loved you

You know they are a liar

Drivin' down your freeways

Midnite alleys roam

Cops in cars, the topless bars

Never saw a woman...

So alone, so alone

So alone, so alone



Motel Money Murder Madness

Let's change the mood from glad to sadness



Mr. Mojo Risin', Mr. Mojo Risin'

Mr. Mojo Risin', Mr. Mojo Risin'

Got to keep on risin'

Mr. Mojo Risin', Mr. Mojo Risin'

Mojo Risin', gotta Mojo Risin'

Mr. Mojo Risin', gotta keep on risin'

Risin', risin'

Gone risin', risin'

I'm gone risin', risin'

I gotta risin', risin'

Well, risin', risin'

I gotta, wooo, yeah, risin'

Woah, ohh yeah



Well, I just got into town about an hour ago

Took a look around, see which way the wind blow

Where the little girls in their Hollywood

bungalows



Are you a lucky little lady in The City of Light

Or just another lost angel...City of Night

City of Night, City of Night, City of Night,

woah, c'mon



L. A. Woman, L. A. Woman

L. A. Woman, your my woman

Little L. A. Woman, Little L. A. Woman

L. A. L. A. Woman Woman

L. A. Woman c'mon

ENYA lyrics - The River Sings



Our words go beyond the moon.

Our words go into the shadows.

The river sings the endlessness.

We write of our journey through night.

We write in our aloneness.

We want to know the shape of eternity.



Who knows the way it is?

Who knows what time will not tell us?



Mountains, solitude and the moon

Until the journey's end?

The river holds the lost road of the sky;

The shape of eternity?



Who knows the way it is?

Who knows what time will not tell us?



Where is the beginning?

Where is the end?

Why did we fall into days?

Why are we calling out into the endlessness?



Who knows the way it is?

Who knows what time will not tell us?


LEO SAYER lyrics - She's Not Coming Back



(Leo Sayer / Alan Tarney)



Monday morning nine A. M.

I missed my bus I must've overslept again

Phoned up work told 'em I can't go on

Since she left, this house is not a home I know

She's not coming back

She's not coming back

She's not coming back

She's not coming back

All my friends they keep coming around

Well they can dress me up but I won't paint the town

No-one else'll do the things she'd do

All my fun is up because I know this time for sure

She's not coming back

- Didn't have a reason

- Had to be free

- Told me she was leaving

She's not coming back to me

Monday evenings used to be so easy rolling

Staying home with her

Now this room is like a prison

Can't go nowhere, I'm nothing without her

She's not coming back

No she's not coming back

Oh she's not coming back - no more

No more, no more



[Solo]



Tuesday morning and it's not that bad

Well I'm smiling now, thinking of all the fun we had

And if I see her, this is what I will say

"Well thanks for asking but as you see, I'm OK"

She's not coming back

- Didn't have a reason

- Had to be free

- Told me she was leaving

She's not coming back

Oh she's not coming back

No she's not coming back

No she's not coming back

No she's not coming back, to me

Didn't have a reason

She wanted to be free

She told me she was leaving

She was leaving me


BRYAN ADAMS lyrics - Is Your Mama Gonna Miss Ya?



I might as well bin blind

Thought I owned this world and all its time

Made up my mind not to love again

Live my life a single man

Lady luck she came my way

Turned my night into day



She went huff and blew my little house down

She went puff ya she spun me around

She played rough ya she took me to town

All I did was fool around

And my whole world came tumblin' down



Is your mama gonna miss ya now you're gone?

Is your mama gonna miss her little rollin' stone?

Is mama gonna cry now she's alone?

Cause mama's little girl ain't goin' home!

Ya-she's goin' with me

I couldn't be found - couldn't be heard

You couldn't trap this free bird

I loved to fly shoulda heard me sing

You came along and flapped your wings

Had my eyes on the road foot on the floor

Tell me "hey who's that knockin' at my door?"



She went huff and blew my little house down

She went puff ya she spun me around

She played rough ya she took me to town



All I did was fool around

And my whole world came crumblin' down



Is your mama gonna miss ya now you're gone?

Is your mama gonna miss her little rollin' stone?

Is mama gonna cry now she's alone?

Cause mama's little girl ain't goin' home!



I said stop and she said go

Looks so good I can't say no

Now we've gone and lost control.


ERIC CLAPTON lyrics - Good Morning Little Schoolgirl



(H. G. Demarais)



Good morning, little schoolgirl.

Good morning, little schoolgirl.

Can I go home with you?

Won't you let me go home with you,

So I can hug, hug, squeeze, squeeze?

If you let me I can tease you baby.

Hey, hey hey hey. Hey hey hey hey. Hey, yeah.



Let's dance, little schoolgirl.

Let's dance, little schoolgirl.

Won't you let me take you to the hop, hop,

Have a party at the soda shop

So we can do the twist, do the stroll

To the music of the rock 'n' roll.

Hey, hey hey hey. Hey hey hey hey. Hey, yeah.



[Repeat First Verse]



Good morning, little schoolgirl.

Good morning, little schoolgirl.

Can I go home with you?

Won't you let me go home with you?

Tell your mama and your papa that I love you.

Tell your sisters and your brother that I love you.

Hey, hey hey hey. Hey, hey hey hey.

Hey, hey hey hey. Hey, hey hey hey.

PROCOL HARUM lyrics - Pilgrim's Progress



(Fisher / Reid)



I sat me down to write a simple story

which maybe in the end became a song

In trying to find the words which might begin it

I found these were the thoughts I brought along

At first I took my weight to be an anchor

and gathered up my fears to guide me round

but then I clearly saw my own delusion

and found my struggles further bogged me down

In starting out I thought to go exploring

and set my foot upon the nearest road

In vain I looked to find the promised turning

but only saw how far I was from home

In searching I forsook the paths of learning

and sought instead to find some pirate's gold

In fighting I did hurt those dearest to me

and still no hidden truths could I unfold

I sat me down to write a simple story

which maybe in the end became a song

The words have all been writ by one before me

We're taking turns in trying to pass them on

Oh, we're taking turns in trying to pass them on


MEGADETH lyrics - I Thought I Knew It All



(Music by Mustaine, Ellefson, Friedman, Menza; Lyrics by Ellefson, Mustaine)



Somewhere there's a reason

Why things go like they do

Somewhere there's a reason

Why somethings just fall through

We don't always see them

For what they really are

But I know there's a reason,

Just can't see it from this far



Maybe I don't like it, but I have no choice

I know that somewhere, someone hears my voice



I thought I knew it all

I thought I had it made

How could it end this way?

I thought I knew



Somewhere there's a reason

Why things don't go my way

Somewhere there's a reason

That I cannot explain

Just like the change of season,

Just may not be my turn

But I know there's a reason,

The lesson's mine to learn


DREAM THEATER lyrics - These Walls



This is so hard for me

To find the words to say

My thoughts are standing still



Captive inside of me

All emotions start to hide

And nothing's getting through



Watch me

Fading

I'm losing

All my instincts

Falling into darkness



Tear down these walls for me

Stop me from going under

You are the only one who knows

I'm holding back



It's not too late for me

To keep from sinking further

I'm trying to find my way out

Tear down these walls for me now



So much uncertainly

I don't like this feeling

I'm sinking like a stone



Each time I try to speak

There's a voice I'm hearing

And it changes everything



Watch me

Crawl from

The wreckage

Of my silence

Conversation

Failing



Tear down these wall's from

Stop me from going under

You are the only one who knows

I'm holding back



It's no too late for me

To keep from sinking further

I'm trying to find my way out

Tear down these walls



Every time you choose to turn away

Is it worth the price you pay

Is there someone who will wait for you

One more time

One more time



Watch me

Fading

I'm losing

All my instincts

Falling into darkness



Tear down these wall's for me

Stop me from going under

You are the only one who knows

I'm holding back



It's not too late for me

To keep from sinking further

I'm trying to find my way out

Tear down these walls for me now



Tear down these walls for me

It's no too late for me

Tear down these walls for me


JOHNNY MATHIS lyrics - O Holy Night



O holy night,

The stars are brightly shining;

It is the night of

Our dear Savior's birth!

Long lay the world

In sin and error pining,

Till He appeared

And the soul felt its worth.

A thrill of hope,

The weary world rejoices,

For yonder breaks

A new and glorious morn.

Fall on your knees,

O hear the angel voices!

O night divine,

O night when Christ was born!

O night divine, O night,

O night divine!



Led by the light of Faith

Serenely beaming,

With glowing hearts

By His cradle we stand.

So led by light of a star

Sweetly gleaming,

Here came the wise men

From Orient land.

The King of Kings lay thus

In lowly manger,

In all our trials

Born to be our Friend!

He knows our need,

To our weakness no stranger;

Behold your King!

Before the lowly bend!

Behold your King! your King!

Before Him bend.



Truly He taught us

To love one another;

His law is love and

His gospel is peace.

Chains shall He break

For the slave is our brother

And in His name

All oppression shall cease.

Sweet hymns of joy in

Grateful chorus raise we,

Let all within us

Praise His holy name!

Christ is the Lord,

Oh praise His name forever,

His pow'r and glory evermore proclaim

His pow'r and glory

Evermore proclaim.

SYD BARRETT lyrics - Wined And Dined



(Barrett)



Wined and dined, oh it seemed just like a dream!

Girl was so kind.

Kind of love I'd never seen

Only last summer, it's not so long ago...

Just last summer, now musk winds blow...



Wined and dined, oh it seemed just like a dream!

Girl was so kind.

Kind of love I'd never seen

Only last summer, it's not so long ago...

Just last summer, now musk winds blow...



Chalk underfoot, life I should prove

Dancing in heat, our love and you...



Wined and dined, oh it seemed just like a dream!

Girl was so kind.

Kind of love I'd never seen

Only last summer, it's not so long ago...

Just last summer, now musk winds blow...

THE CURE lyrics - A Thousand Hours



For how much longer can I howl into this wind?

For how much longer

Can I cry like this?



A thousand wasted hours a day

Just to feel my heart for a second

A thousand hours just thrown away

Just to feel my heart for a second



For how much longer can I howl into this wind?


IRVING BERLIN lyrics - I Can't Tell A Lie



I could say that you're homely

Just as homely as pie

But this is Washington's Birthday

And I've got to say you're beautiful

'Cause I can't tell a lie



I could say that you're stupid

Nothing up in your crown

But this is Washington's Birthday

And the truthful he

Of the cherry tree

Would look down on me

And frown



I could say that I hate you if I try

But I've got to say I love you

'Cause it's February the twenty-second

And I can't tell a lie


B. B. KING lyrics - Come Back Baby



Come back, baby, don't break up my home

Yeah, you know I'm gonna miss you darlin'

After you are gone

Come back, baby, can we talk it over one more time



Oh baby, you know this world wasn't made in one day

Woah, we can talk it over, darling

Before you go away

Come back baby, let's talk it over one more time



Well now, baby, don't break up my heart

Well, Lord it hurts me so bad, darling

For us to have to part

So come back, baby, yeah, we can talk it over one more time



Well, come back, baby, you know just what I love you

Well, if I can't be with you, darling

Send me to heaven above

So come back, baby

Can't we talk it over, one more time

ERIC CLAPTON lyrics - Fall Like Rain



(Eric Clapton)



Tell me why did I fall in love with you?

Tell me why did I fall in love with you?

Tore me all to pieces, cut me half in two.

Tell me why did I fall in love with you?



Tell me why do my tears fall like rain?

Tell me why do my tears fall like rain?

Tore me all to pieces, nothing else remains.

Tell me why do my tears fall like rain?



Worry, worry, worry;

Worry all day long.

Don't know where I'm going;

Don't know right from wrong.



Tell me why, tell me why.

Tell me why, tell me why.



[Repeat First Verse]



[Repeat Second Verse]



Fall like rain, fall like rain.

Fall like rain, fall like rain.

Fall like rain, fall like rain.

Fall like rain, fall like rain.


THE HOLLIES lyrics - Give Me Time



(Sylvester / Clarke)



Back off baby

Don't lean too hard

I'll come 'round when I'm ready

I ain't finished my playing 'round

Don't want to go steady



[Chorus:]

You gotta give me time

Give me time give me time

You gotta give me time

Give me time give me time



The feeling in me ain't the same as yours

I'm still first-class flying

You've gotta wait till I reach the ground

No need to be lying



[Chorus]



To think it over



Don't try so hard

Don't spoil your chance

Don't try so hard

Don't spoil your chance



[Verse 1]



[Chorus]

To think it over



Give me time

Give me time give me time

You gotta give time

Give me time give me time



[Repeat]


DIO lyrics - Guilty



He'd never tell her lies

And she believed in magic

But when the magic died

She could see that all along he's just been



Guilty - a liar, liar

Guilty

Guilty - burn in fire

Guilty



It's time to say goodbye

Don't tell another story

Another alibi

Now you see that all along he's just been



Guilty - a liar, liar

Guilty

Guilty - you burn in fire

Guilty

Guilty - the great pretender

Guilty

You're guilty - just surrender cause you're guilty



Broken promise

But please forgive again

One more time for me

It's the very last time - you'll see



Guilty - liar, liar

You'll burn in fire

Guilty - liar, liar

Guilty



Guilty - the great pretender

Guilty

Guilty - just surrender, you're guilty

Guilty, guilty, guilty

A liar, liar

Guilty - you'll burn in fire

Oh guilty, you'll burn in fire

Surrender - guilty

So guilty


BOBBY HELMS lyrics - My Special Angel



(Angel, angel, whoa-oh-oh-oh, ooh)

(Angel, angel, whoa-oh-oh-oh, ooh)



You are my special angel

Sent from up above

The Lord smiled down on me

And sent an angel to love (to love)

You are my special angel

Right from paradise

I know that you're an angel

Heaven is in your eyes



A smile from your lips

Bring the summer sunshine

The tears from your eyes bring the rain

I feel your touch, your warm embrace

And I'm in heaven again



You are my special angel

Through eternity

I'll have my special angel

Here to watch over me



(A smile from your lips)

(Brings the summer sunshine)

(The tears from your eyes bring the rain)

I feel your touch

Your warm embrace

And I'm in heaven again



You are my special angel

Through eternity

I'll have my special angel

Here to watch over me (watch over me)

Here to watch over me

(Angel, angel)

(Whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oooooh)


THE POGUES lyrics - Whiskey In The Jar



(Traditional)



As I was going over the Kilmagenny mountain

I met with captain Farrell and his money he was counting.

I first produced my pistol, and the produced my rapier.

Said stand and deliver, for I am a bold deceiver,



musha ring dumma do damma da

whack for the daddy 'ol

whack for the daddy 'ol

there's whiskey in the jar



I counted out his money, and it made a pretty penny.

I put it in my pocket and I brought it home to Jenny.

She said and she swore, that she never would deceive me,

but the devil take the women, for they never can be easy



I went into my chamber, for to take a slumber,

I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure it was no wonder.

But Jenny took my charges and she filled them up with water,

and sent for captain Farrel to be ready for the slaughter.



It was early in the morning, before I rose to travel,

the guards were all around me and likewise captain Farrel.

I first produced my pistol, for she stole away my rapier,

but I couldn't shoot the water so a prisoner I was taken.



If anyone can aid me, it's my brother in the army,

if I can find his station in Cork or in Killarney.

And if he'll come save me, we'll go roving near Kilkenny,

and I swear he'll treat me better than me own sportling Jenny



Now some men take delight in the drinking and the roving,

but others take delight in the gambling and the smoking.

But I take delight in the juice of the barley,

and courting pretty fair maids in the morning bright and early

KENNY ROGERS lyrics - Someone Somewhere Tonight



Someone somewhere tonight

Is taking their first steps

Letting go of the hands that held them

And trusting themselves

An' somewhere somewhere tonight

Is hearing their last rites

And prayin' with all their might

That there's something else.



So, baby, lie down here beside me

Let's lie real still

An' tell me you love me

And you always will.



Someone somewhere tonight

Is tasting their first kiss

Whisp'ring softly this wish

For this night to go on

While someone somewhere

Is holdin' on to a bottle

Pourin' one more an' hopin' that God will

Get them through till the dawn.



So, baby, lie down here beside me

An' let's lie real still

An' tell me you love me

And you always will, (yeah.)



[Instrumental]



Someone somewhere tonight

Is stuck in a prison

Breathin' but just barely livin'

Behind walls of their own

Ooh, an' someone somewhere tonight

Just found their own wings

An' found some beauty, an' found some meaning

(They found some truth.)

Found some truth in spite of it all.



So, baby, lie down here beside me

An' let's lie real still

An' tell me you love me

And you always will.



And you always will...


LIONEL RICHIE lyrics - Will Be Alright



Little darling

Where you've been so long

I've been out here thinking about ya

And the feeling's real strong

Well the time has come to celebrate

You and me girl so sounds great

Cause tonight will be alright

Oh baby



Little darling, come on

Let's take a ride

To a midnight honey town and set it on fire

We don't want to be mad

But we have to be cool

You and me girl

Let's break all the rules

Cause tonight will be alright

Oh my baby, I'm gonna say it again

I can see us moving on

Down the highway

I can see us loving

Till our hearts desire

Anything you wanna do girl

You just tell me

Cause it's alright, cause it's alright



Little darling, telling you no use

Keep me thinking about you honey

My soul's on fire

Well if you want me girl

And the games I play

Anything's alright, anything you say

Cause tonight will be alright

Alright, baby I'll say it again, alright

Alright, alright, alright, baby

We gonna make it alright

You and me baby, alright

TONY BANKS lyrics - Somebody Else's Dream



Too good to last, how those four words ring in my ears.

A voice from the past has been heard again,

Whether its real or not, I can't say I care

But my memory's going and my mind is losing its grip.

I'm walking on thinning ice.

Soon I shall be taken down, drowned in blind ignorance.

Its hard to bear but harder still

To tell the one I care for,

Please to say love is here today, but its going away, going away.

How can I fight a fire that comes from inside myself

That threatens a total end.

So much to lose when I still had so much to learn.

Its hard to bear but harder still

To tell the one I care for.

Please to say love is here today, but its going away, going away.

Millions of people won't know what I mean,

None can appreciate somebody else's dream.

Thousands of reasons for staying alive

Explode into fragments,

Dissolve into nothing.

As I prepare for the oncoming night.

Already I feel a creeping coldness chilling my bones,

Dulling my sight and mind.

Soon there shall be only sand where once water flowed.

Nature dies and is reborn, but I shan't weather this coming storm.

Not for me to die with children around my bed

After a happy life,

Though rain will fall and the sun won't change in its course.

Its hard to bear but harder still

To tell the one I care for,

Please to say love is here today, but it's going away, going away.

Millions of people won't know what I mean,

None can appreciate somebody else's dream.

Thousands of reasons for staying alive

Explode into fragments,

Dissolve into nothing.

As I prepare for the oncoming night.


NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK lyrics - I Can't Imagine The World Without Me



What I tell is a different story,

What i have, I take, then give it all away,

So if you'd like to come this way,

Then help me climb the walls that stand before me.



I wanna know,

If this is just a game,

Can anybody play,

Can everybody win,

Can you believe it,



I may be lost, i may be blind,

I may be cursing most of the time

But it's half the fun,

And in this world we spin and shout

We want it all we want it now,

They said 'oh shut your mouth

You don't know what you talk about'.



I wanna know,

If this is just a game,

Can anybody play,

Can everybody win.



Another show another scene,

The city sleeps below you sing a lullaby,

Another show another scene and,

I can't imagine the world without me,

I can't imagine the world without me,

I can't imagine the world without me, Hey,

I'm on a roll, i'm on a roll, la la la la.



I'm on a roll la la la la,

I'm on a roll la la la la,

I'm on a roll la la la la,

Me me me me me me me me me,

Me me me me me me me me.


BOB MARLEY lyrics - Survival



(Ow, ow-ow-ow-ow!

Ow, ow-ow-ow-ow!)

Yeah, yeah, yeah!

How can you be sitting there

Telling me that you care -

That you care?

When every time I look around,

The people suffer in the suffering

In everyway, in everywhere.



Say: na-na-na-na-na (na-na, na-na!):

We're the survivors, yes: the Black survivors!

I tell you what: some people got everything;

Some people got nothing;

Some people got hopes and dreams;

Some people got ways and means.



Na-na-na-na-na (na-na, na-na!):

We're the survivors, yes: the Black survivors!

Yes, we're the survivors, like Daniel out of the lions' den

(Black survivors) Survivors, survivors!

So I Idren, I sistren,

A-which way will we choose?

We better hurry; oh, hurry; oh, hurry; wo, now!

'Cause we got no time to lose.

Some people got facts and claims;

Some people got pride and shame;

Some people got the plots and schemes;

Some people got no aim it seems!



Na-na-na-na-na, na-na, na!

We're the survivors, yes: the Black survivors!

Tell you what: we're the survivors, yeah! - the Black survivors, yeah!

We're the survivors, like Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego

(Black survivors),

Thrown in the fire, but-a never get burn.

So I Idren, I-sistren,

The preaching and talkin' is done;

We've gotta live up, wo now, wo now! -

'Cause the Father's time has come.

Some people put the best outside;

Some people keep the best inside;

Some people can't stand up strong;

Some people won't wait for long.



(Na-na-na-na-na!) Na-na-na, na-na-na na!

We're the survivors

In this age of technological inhumanity (Black survival),

Scientific atrocity (survivors),

Atomic misphilosophy (Black survival),

Nuclear misenergy (survivors):

It's a world that forces lifelong insecurity (Black survival).



Together now:

(Na-na-na-na-na!) Na na-na na na! (Na na-na na na!)

We're the survivors, yeah!

We're the survivors!

Yes, the Black survivors!

We're the survivors:

A good man is never honoured (survivors)

in his own yountry (Black survival).

Nothing change, nothing strange (survivors).

Nothing change, nothing strange (Black survivors).

We got to survive, y'all! (survivors) - [fadeout]


IRVING BERLIN lyrics - Can You Use Any Money Today?



[1st refrain:]

Money, money, money, money, money, money

Can you use any money today?

Money, money, money, money, money, money

Nice new bills that we're giving away



There are photographs on ev'ry one

Lincoln, Grant and Washington

Or you might like the ones with Henry Clay

Can you use any money today?



Two million, four million, six million, eight million, ten

Take what you want, when it's gone you can come back again



Bills that haven't been printed yet

You can have them by the sack

Coins that haven't been minted yet

That you never have to give back



Money, money, money, money, money, money

Uncle Sam puts it right on the line

And if we ever run out of checks for him to sign

You can have mine

All of mine

You can have mine



[2nd refrain:]

Money, money, money, money, money, money

Can you use any dollars today?

Money, money, money, money, money, money

We've so much that it gets in our way



In our Treas'ry there's a mighty sum

Millions we've subtracted from

The envelopes that hold our take home pay

Can you use any money today?



Home in the states underground there's a cave full of gold

Back up a truck and we'll fill it with all it can hold

Take ten million and please don't fuss

If you find it can't be spent

You can lend it right back to us

And we'll pay you seven percent



Money, money, money, money, money, money

Uncle Sam puts it right on the line

And if that feller with whiskers ever should decline

You can have mine

All of mine

You can have mine

GOO GOO DOLLS lyrics - On Your Side



I'm on a mission baby

I'm not hearing what you're saying

Stop preaching at me now

I'm not a revelation

Superstar or new sensation

I'm just hiding away my frowns



We don't see eye to eye

I'm on your side

With a smile and a sigh

I'm on your side



Five a. m. I shut my eyes

Then my worries tranquilized

Don't think the morning comes too soon

If I don't see the morning

That's ok they're pretty boring

See you tomorrow afternoon



We don't see eye to eye

I'm on your side

With a smile and a sigh

I'm on your side



You're living in a trailer

Friends all think that you're a failure

But are you thinking for yourself

You read the Sunday paper

Wife's pissed off 'cause you ain't laid her

Rolling pennies for your wealth

Me too...



We don't see eye to eye

I'm on your side

With a smile and a sigh

I'm on your side

I'm on your side


JIMI HENDRIX lyrics - I Don't Live Today



Will I live tomorrow?

Well I just can't say.

Will I live tomorrow?

Well, I just can't say.



But I know for sure

I Don't Live Today.



No sun coming through my windows,

feel like I'm sitting at the bottom of a grave.

No sun coming through my windows,

feel like I'm sitting at the bottom of a grave.



I wish you'd hurry up 'n' rescue me

so I can be on my mis'rable way



I Don't Live Today;

It's such a shame to waste you time away like this.



Will I live tomorrow?

Well, I just can't say.

Will I live tomorrow?

Well, I just can't say



But I know for sure

I Don't Live Today.

THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS lyrics - Where Do They Make Balloons?



Marmalade's from Scotland

Rugs from Pakistan

Mexico has jumping beans

And cars are from Japan



Clowns are from the circus

Barking comes from dogs

Eggs come from a chicken

And log cabins come from logs





But where, where do they make balloons? (where)

But where, where do they make balloons? (where)





New York has tall buildings

New Jersey has its malls

Pisa has a leaning tower

Will it ever fall?





The ocean has the fishes

London has a tower

In Holland they have windmills,

Lots of bikes, and pretty flowers





But where, where do they make balloons? (where)

But where, where do they make balloons? (where)





Balloons (da, da, doodoodoodoo, da, da, doodoodoodoo)

Balloons (da, da, doodoodoodoo, da, da, doodoodoodoo)

Balloons (da, da, doodoodoodoo, da, da, doodoodoodoo)

Balloons (da, da, doodoodoodoo, da, da, doodoodoodoo)





Spaghetti is from China (doo, doodoo, doodoodoodoo)

But Italians make it best (doodoo, doodoodoodoo)

Ants can make an anthill (doodoo, doodoodoodoo)

And monkeys make a mess (doodoo, doodoodoodoo)





Hungary isn't hungry (doodoo, doodoodoodoo)

And french fries aren't from France (doodoo, doodoodoodoo)

Turkeys aren't from Turkey (doodoo, doodoodoodoo)

They can't fly but they can dance (doodoo)





But where, where do they make balloons? (where)

But where, where do they make balloons? (where)

But where, where do they make balloons? (where)

But where, where do they make balloons? (where)


ISAAC HAYES lyrics - Fever



Never know how much I love you

Never know how much I care

When you put your arms around me

I get a fever thats so hard to bear



You give me fever when you kiss me

Fever when you hold me tight

Fever in the morning

Fever all through the night.



Evrybodys got the fever

That is something you all know

Fever isnt such a new thing

Fever started long ago



Sun lights up the daytime

Moon lights up the night

I light up when you call my name

And you know Im gonna treat you right



You give me fever when you kiss me

Fever when you hold me tight

Fever in the morning

Fever all through the night



Romeo loved juliet

Juliet she felt the same

When he put his arms around her

He said julie, baby, youre my flame

Thou giv-est fever when we kisseth

Fever with the flaming youth

Fever Im afire

Fever yea I burn for sooth



Captain smith and pocahantas

Had a very mad affair

When her daddy tried to kill him

She said daddy, o, dont you dare

He gives me fever with his kisses

Fever when he holds me tight

Fever, Im his misses,

Oh daddy, wont you treat him right



Now youve listened to my story

Heres the point that I have made

Cats were born to give chicks fever

Be it fahrenheit or centigrade

They give you fever when you kiss them

Fever if you live and learn

Fever till you sizzle

What a lovely way to burn

What a lovely way to burn

What a lovely way to burn

CELINE DION lyrics - Tout L'or Des Hommes



J'ai depose mes armes

A l'entree de ton coeur

Sans combat

Et j'ai suivi tes charmes

Lentement, en douceur

Quelque part la-bas

Au milieu de tes reves

Aux creux de ton sommeil

Dans tes nuits

Un jour nouveau se leve

A nul autre pareil

Et tu sais, depuis...



Tout l'or des hommes

Ne vaut plus rien

Si tu es loin de moi

Tout l'amour du monde

Ne me fait rien

Alors surtout, ne change pas



C'est un nouveau voyage

Le destin, le hasard

Peu importe

Qui m'a montre le passage

Qui allait jusqu'a toi

Et tu sais, depuis...



Tout l'or des hommes

Ne vaut plus rien

Si tu es loin de moi

Tout l'amour du monde

Ne me fait rien

Surtout, ne change pas

BRYAN FERRY lyrics - Piece Of My Heart



Didn't I make you feel like you are the only one

Didn't I give you everything that I possibly can

But Lord, the love I give you it's never enough

But I'm gonna show you, baby, that I really can be tough



So come on, come on, come on, come on take it

Take another little piece of my heart now, baby

Break another little bit of my heart now, honey

Have another little piece of my heart now, baby

You know you got it if makes you feel good



You're out on the streets looking good

And you know deep down in your heart that it ain't right

You never, never hear me when I cry at night

I tell myself that I can't stand the pain

But when you hold me in your arms, I'll sing it once again



So come on, come on, come on, come on take it

Take another little piece of my heart now, baby

Break another little bit of my heart now, honey

Have another little piece of my heart now, baby

You know you got it if makes you feel good

STRAY CATS lyrics - Too Hip, Gotta Go



Well I've been hanging around this town too long

And it seems like every woman done me wrong

She's in love, but I'm in lust

Well the suitcases gatherin' dust

Baby, baby, baby, I'll see you some day



There ain't nothing good coming out of this situation

And if this is any kind of indication

Well love is not for me

And there's a hole new world to see

Baby, baby, baby, I'll see you some day



Too hip, gotta go

Too hip, gotta go

You ain't running my life no more



Too hip, gotta go

Too hip, gotta go

When I step foot out of this door



I won't even bother to pack

I'm gonna leave you sugar, never come back

Baby, baby, baby, I'll see you some day

Gotta go



Too hip, gotta go

Too hip, gotta go

You ain't running my life no more



Too hip, gotta go

Too hip, gotta go

When I step foot out of this door



I won't even bother to pack

I'm gonna leave you sugar, never come back

Baby, baby, baby, I'll see you some day

Baby, baby, baby, I'll see you some day

Baby, baby, baby, I'll see you some day


GLORIA ESTEFAN lyrics - Feelin' (Love To Infinity Remix)



When you give what's in your heart

To the one you love

You want them to give their love back to you

When every kiss and every smile

Mean the world to you

Then you've got it bad

Don't need a cure for what you're going through

This feelin' inside you can't let it hide



Feelin' never gonna stop the feelin'

When your love is true

Feelin' never gonna stop the feelin'

There ain't nothin' you can do now

Feelin' never gonna stop the feelin'

You feel it through and through honey

Feelin' never gonna stop the feelin'



'cause there ain't nothin' you can do boy

When every look and touch

Makes you come undone

And you can't believe this feelin' is real

When the sound of someone's name

Gives you butterflies

Don't wander why 'cause you can be sure

That you're in love

This feelin' inside you can't let it hide



Feelin' never gonna stop the feelin'

When your love is true

Feelin' never gonna stop the feelin'

There ain't nothin' you can do now

Feelin' never gonna stop the feelin'

You feel it through and through honey

Feelin' never gonna stop the feelin'

'cause there ain't nothin' you can do boy



Oo hoo hoo boy oo hoo hoo

Oo hoo hoo boy oo hoo hoo

Oo hoo hoo boy oo hoo hoo

Oo hoo hoo boy oo hoo hoo



Feelin' never gonna stop the feelin'

When your love is true

Feelin' never gonna stop the feelin'

There ain't nothin' you can do now

Feelin' never gonna stop the feelin'

You feel it through and through honey

Feelin' never gonna stop the feelin'

'cause there ain't nothin' you can do boy



Oo hoo hoo boy oo hoo hoo

Oo hoo hoo boy oo hoo hoo

Oo hoo hoo boy oo hoo hoo

Oo hoo hoo boy oo hoo hoo

BOB SEGER & THE SILVER BULLET BAND lyrics - Feel Like A Number



I take my card and I stand in line

To make a buck I work overtime

Dear Sir letters keep coming in the mail

I work my back till it's racked with pain

The boss can't even recall my name

I show up late and I'm docked

It never fails

I feel like just another

Spoke in a great big wheel

Like a tiny blade of grass

In a great big field

To workers I'm just another drone

To Ma Bell I'm just another phone

I'm just another statistic on a sheet

To teachers I'm just another child

To IRS I'm just another file

I'm just another consensus on the street

Gonna cruise out of this city

Head down to the sea

Gonna shout out at the ocean

Hey it's me

And I feel like a number

Feel like a number

Feel like a stranger

A stranger in this land

I feel like a number

I'm not a number

I'm not a number

Dammit I'm a man

I said I'm a man


QUEENSRYCHE lyrics - Suite Sister Mary



[Spoken:]

[Dr. X:] "Kill her. That's all you have to do."

[Nikki:] "Kill Mary?"

[Dr. X:] "She's a risk, and get the priest as well."



10 P. M., I feel the rain coming down

My face feels the wet, my mind the storm

Flashing lights as people race to find shelter from the pour

Moving silent, through the streets, they're mine, they're

mine



Midnite, she sings praises in the Hall

To saintly faces hallowed be their names she can't recall

Sister Mary, virgin Mary, silent with her sin

( [Mary:] "What are you doing out in the rain?" )

She feels me, I can taste her breath when she speaks

( [Mary:] "I've been waiting for you. Come in." )



Mary, Mary just a whore for the underground

They made you pay in guilt for your salvation

Thought you had them fooled? Now they've sent me for you

You know too much for your own good

Don't offer me faith, I've got all I need here

My faith is growing, growing tight against the seam

What we need is trust, to keep us both alive

Help us make it through the night



[Mary:]

I've no more want of any faith

Binds my arm and feed my mind

The only peace I've ever known

I'll close my eyes and you shoot



No Mary, listen, you've got to pull your strength from my

lips

I pray I feed you well

Your precious cross is gone, it made me wait so long

For what you gave to everyone

The priest is cold and dead on his knees he fed

From my barrel of death, he turned the Holy water red

As he died he said thank you

I just watched him bleed



[Mary:]

I feel the flow, the blessed stain

Sweating hands like fire, and flames

Burn my thighs, spread in sacrificial rite

The hallowed altar burns my flesh once more tonight



Mary, sweet lady of pain

Always alone

Blind you search for the truth

I see myself in you, parallel lives

Winding at light-speed through time



No time to rest yet

We've got to stop his game

Before madness has the final laugh

Too much bloodshed

We're being used and fed

Like rats in experiments

No final outcome here

Only pain and fear

It's followed us both all our lives

There's one thing left to see

Will it be him or me?

There's one more candle left to light



[Mary:]

Don't turn your back on my disgrace

The blood of Christ can't heal my wounds...so deep

The sins of man are all I taste

Can't spit the memory from my mind

I can't cry anymore



Mary, my lady of pain, always alone

Blind you search for the truth

I see myself in you, parallel lives

Winding at light-speed through time, you're mine


IDA COX lyrics - Booze Crazy Man Blues



Daddy oh sweet daddy, please don't drive me away

Daddy oh sweet daddy, please don't drive me away

I love you sweet papa, please let your mama stay



Don't let your whiskey, drive away your only friend

Don't let your whiskey, drive away your only friend

You know I've stuck with you, sweet daddy through thick and thin



I've worked so hard for you, till morning I was almost dead

I've worked so hard for you, till morning I was almost dead

Just for daddy to have, some place to lay his weary head



But now, I'm bein' treated like a slave

But now, I'm bein' treated like a slave

Your goin' to let bad whiskey carry you to your grave

CHICAGO lyrics - Somebody, Somewhere



The sun is coming up

But I don't see the light

I keep goin' on and on

Thinking bout' where we went wrong

I always heard that love

Could stand the test of time

But somethin' that we had is gone

Maybe we just stayed too long

I wish that I could lie

And tell myself it's alright

It was nothing at all

CHORUS

Somebody, somewhere

Is falling in love tonight

Is nothing at all

Somebody, somewhere

Is saying there last goodbyes

I gotta know

Is it the same when it comes

And when love goes

Where do I go from here

Don't know where to turn

Will you find another face

Or disappear in yesterday

Should I hold on

Should I let all the memories go

Was it nothing at all

She comes and goes

CHORUS


SAXON lyrics - Rock City



We've been a long time comin'

But we're here at last



You want it, we got it

You want it, we got it



Drive time, prime time

You're time, my time

You better get ready, ready to rock

(rock city, rock city)

Radio, Video

Crank it up Mama, the time is right

(rock city, rock city)



AM, FM

It's your choice

Looking for the rockshow, make some noise

(rock city, rock city)

Play some crazy rock 'n' roll

Don't stop now, just give me more



You want it, we got it

You want it, we got it



Nightlife, streetlife

My life, your life

Rockin' the airwaves, all night long

(rock city, rock city)



Hi-fi, Sci-fi

Hear my words

We've been a long time coming

But we're here at last

(rock city, rock city)



Dream out, scream out

Jam out, rock out

I hear the guitars screaming in my head

(rock city, rock city)

Play some crazy rock 'n' roll

Don't stop now, just give me more



You want it, we got it

Rock City



You want it, we got it

Rock City


ROSANNE CASH lyrics - If You Change Your Mind



(Rosanne Cash/Hank Devito)



If you change your mind

And leave the past behind

You know where you'll always find me



And if she breaks your heart

And tears your world apart

You can always count on me



And when your heart's in doubt

And things aren't working out

I can be the one who makes you happy



Call me on the telephone

Darling, I'm always home

If you ever change your mind



When the time is right

I can hold you tight

You know I can wait forever



And time is on our side

And we can surely find

All the love we'll ever need



And take a chance on this

Seal it with a kiss

I can be the one who makes you happy



Call me on the telephone

Darling, I'm always home

If you ever change your mind



All I have is love to give you

Baby, I could be there with you

If you ever change your mind



Call me on the telephone

Darling, I am always home

If you ever change your mind

BARBRA STREISAND lyrics - Honey Pie



She was a working girl

North of England way

Now she's in the big time...in the USA

And if she could hear him, this is what he'd say

Honey pie, you are making me crazy

I'm in love but I'm lazy

So won't ya please come home

Oh honey pie, my position is tragic

Come and show me that magic of your Hollywood song



You became a legend on the silver screen

And now the thought of meeting you makes me weak in the knees

Tee tee tee

Oh honey pie you are driving me frantic

Sali across the Atlanic to be where you belong

Honey pie come back to me

Oh wa wa wa...... wa wa wa wa wa wa wa... wa wa wa

Wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa

I like it like this (laughing)

Woo

I like this....



What kinda music (laughing)

What kinda music, play it to me... play it to me



Will the wind that blew her boat across the sea

Kindly send her sailing back to me? tee hee hee

Oh honey pie you are making me crazy

I'm in love but I'm lazy

So won't ya please come home

Come..come back to me honey pie

Do do do do da da da dum.

Now don't get fresh fellas

De da de du da dum

Honey pie come back......

SOON...

(Al Striano, Joe Luccisano and Al Gentile)



There's a (moon out tonight) whoa-oh-oh ooh

Let's go strollin'

There's a (girl in my heart) whoa-oh-oh ooh

Moon out tonight

There's a moon out tonight

PULP lyrics - Separations



As the sun shines down on the land,

So her heart is crying for love.

And there is no-one there,

No-one to hear her voice.

And she will sleep alone again tonight.

Now the moon is high in the sky.

In her room she calls out his name.

But he is somewhere else,

Somewhere she cannot see.

Oh, and the night is dark between them now,

"My god, my God, why did he go away?"

Now the sun shines on a new town.

With a smile he gets off the train.

He lights a cigarette,

Leans back to see the sky.

Oh and he thinks how much better off he is,

Without her hanging round.

Let's do it.



And the day is passing by him,

And he has nowhere to stay.

At a lonely bar-room table,

His mind goes back to yesterday,

To the girl who's dead and buried,

But her face lives in his eyes.

He must forget that face forever.

Make the future start tonight.

But the meal he eats is dead flesh.

There is cancer in his cigarettes.

And the drinks won't do a thing for him,

But revive some stupid memories.

Then a hairstyle that reminds him,

Makes him run into the night,

Where the moon hangs high above him now,

The same moon that she's praying on tonight.

But the wind catches her words.

And the moon swallows them whole.

Now the moon is high in the sky.

In her room she calls out his name.

The night is cold and dark, and she is all alone.

The bed is empty now.



Her body screams for love.

She wants to be with him.

Oh but he's so far away.

Oh and the night is dark between them now

"My God, my God, why did he go away?"

BLUE OYSTER CULT lyrics - The Red And The Black



Canadian mounted baby, a police force that works

Red and black, that's their color scheme

Get their man, in the end



It's all right (repeat four more times)

Oh yeah my honey knows it's all right

It's all right (repeat four more times)

Oh yeah my baby knows it's all right

C'mon little husky

Got a whip in my hand baby

And a girl or a husky at leather's end



It's all right (repeat four more times)

Oh yeah my honey knows it's all right

It's all right (repeat four more times)

Oh yeah my baby knows it's all right



Hornswoop me bungo pony, dogsled on ice

Make a dash for freedom baby don't skate on polar ice

It's too think to be sliced by the light

Of long and white polar nights



It's all right (repeat four more times)

Oh yeah my honey knows it's all right

It's all right (repeat four more times)

Oh yeah my baby knows it's all right


LORETTA LYNN lyrics - I've Never Been This Far Before



(Conway Twitty)



I can almost hear the stillness

As it yelds to the sound of my heart beating

And I can almost hear the echo

Of the thoughts that I know you must be thinking

You can feel my body tremble

As I wonder what this moment holds in store

And as you put my arms around me

You can tell I've never been this far before

I can hear you say you love me

As your trembling fingers touch forbidden places (pum pum pum)

But you don't know how I've waited

So long for the chance that we're finally takin' (pum pum pum)

I don't know and I don't care

What made you tell her you don't love her anymore

As I taste your tender kisses

You can tell I've never been this far before (pum pum pum)

And as you take the love I'm givin'

I can feel the tension buildin' in my mind (pum pum pum pum pum pum)

Now I wonder if tomorrow

Will you still love me like you're lovin' me tonight (pum pum pum pum pum pum)

Oh you have no way of knowin'

But tonight will only make me want you more

And I hope that you'll believe me

Cause you know I've never been this far before (pum pum pum pum pum pum)

(Pum pum pum)


NEIL YOUNG lyrics - On The Way Home



When the dream came

I held my breath

with my eyes closed

I went insane,

Like a smoke ring day

When the wind blows

Now I won't be back

till later on

If I do come back at all

But you know me,

and I miss you now.



In a strange game

I saw myself as you knew me

When the change came,

And you had a

Chance to see through me

Though the other side

is just the same

You can tell

my dream is real

Because I love you,

can you see me now.



Though we rush ahead

to save our time

We are only what we feel

And I love you,

can you feel it now.

THE BELLAMY BROTHERS lyrics - Let Your Love Flow



There's a reason for the sun shiny sky

And there's a reason why I'm feelin' so high

Must be the season

When that love light shines all around us

So let that feelin' grab you deep inside

And send you reelin' where your love can't hide

And then go stealin'

Through the summer nights with your lover



Just let your love flow like a mountain stream

And let your love grow with the smallest of dreams

And let your love show

And you'll know what I mean, it's the season

Let your love fly like a bird on the wing

And let your love bind you to all living things

And let your love shine

And you'll know what I mean, that's the reason



There's a reason for the warm sweet nights

And there's a reason for the candle lights

Must be the season

When those love rites shine all around us

So let the wonder take you into space

And lay you under its loving embrace

Just feel the thunder as it warms your face

You can't hold back

Just let your love flow like a mountain stream

And let your love grow

With the smallest of dreams and let your love show

And you'll know what I mean, it's the season

Let your love fly like a bird on the wing

And let your love bind you to all living things

And let your love shine

And you'll know what I mean, that's the reason



Just let your love flow like a mountain stream

And let your love grow with the smallest of dreams

And let your love show

And you'll know what I mean, it's the season

Let your love fly like a bird on the wing

And let your love bind you to all living things

And let your love shine

And you'll know what I mean, that's the reason


JACKSON BROWNE lyrics - The Rebel Jesus



[Original recording from the Chieftain's album "The Bells Of Dublin"]



The streets are filled with laughter and light

And the music of the season

And the merchants' windows are all bright

With the faces of the children

And the families hurrying to their homes

As the sky darkens and freezes

Will be gathering around the hearths and tables

Giving thanks for all God's graces

And the birth of the rebel Jesus



They call him by the "Prince of Peace"

And they call him by "The Saviour"

And they pray to him upon the sea

And in every bold endeavor

As they fill his churches with their pride and gold

And their faith in him increases

But they've turned the nature that I worshipped in

From a temple to a robber's den

In the words of the rebel Jesus



We guard our world with locks and guns

And we guard our fine possessions

And once a year when Christmas comes

We give to our relations

And perhaps we give a little to the poor

If the generosity should seize us

But if any one of us should interfere

In the business of why there are poor

They get the same as the rebel Jesus



But pardon me if I have seemed

To take the tone of judgement

For I've no wish to come between

This day and your enjoyment

In this life of hardship and of earthly toil

We have need for anything that frees us

So I bid you pleasure and I bid you cheer

From a heathen and a pagan

On the side of the rebel Jesus.


SPARKS lyrics - The Decline And Fall Of Me



Now I stutter, now I dribble

Other than that, I'm lots like I was then

The decline and fall of me



I just shaved my nose off, oh well

Other than that, I'm lots like I was then

The decline and fall of me



If I had a hammer I would drop it and break it

Look at the pieces

Now I've got a hobby, I collect frozen pizzas

Check out my pizzas



Now your jokes seem really funny

Other than that, I'm lots like I was then

The decline and fall of me



Where's my mouth, man, this eating is rough on the shirts

Gee, I'm sorry about the thermometer, nurse

Would you tell me again, which are girls, which are guys

Gee, I thought that this finger meant so long, goodbye



Chart position, bubbling under, drowning

And goodbye future Mrs. Mael, Mael

The decline and fall, decline and fall, decline and fall of me



I'm fading away

I'm fading away

I'm fading away


JANIS JOPLIN lyrics - Kozmic Blues



Time keeps movin' on,

Friends they turn away.

I keep movin' on

But I never found out why

I keep pushing so hard the dream,

I keep tryin' to make it right

Through another lonely day, whoaa.



Dawn has come at last,

Twenty-five years, honey just in one night, oh yeah.

Well, I'm twenty-five years older now

So I know we can't be right

And I'm no better, baby,

And I can't help you no more

Than I did when just a girl.



Aww, but it don't make no difference, baby, no, no,

And I know that I could always try.

It don't make no difference, baby, yeah,

I better hold it now,

I better need it, yeah,

I better use it till the day I die, whoa.



Don't expect any answers, dear,

For I know that they don't come with age, no, no.

Well, ain't never gonna love you any better, babe.

And I'm never gonna love you right,

So you'd better take it now, right now.



Oh! But it don't make no difference, babe, hey,

And I know that I could always try.

There's a fire inside everyone of us,

You'd better need it now,

I got to hold it, yeah,

I better use it till the day I die.



Don't make no difference, babe, no, no, no,

And it never ever will, hey,

I wanna talk about a little bit of loving, yeah,

I got to hold it, baby,

I'm gonna need it now,

I'm gonna use it, say, aaaah,



Don't make no difference, babe, yeah,

Ah honey, I'd hate to be the one.

I said you're gonna live your life

And you're gonna love your life

Or babe, someday you're gonna have to cry.

Yes indeed, yes indeed, yes indeed,

Ah, baby, yes indeed.



I said you, you're always gonna hurt me,

I said you're always gonna let me down,

I said everywhere, every day, every day

And every way, every way.

Ah honey won't you hold on to what's gonna move.

I said it's gonna disappear when you turn your back.

I said you know it ain't gonna be there

When you wanna reach out and grab on.



Whoa babe,

Whoa babe,

Whoa babe,

Oh but keep truckin' on.

Whoa yeah,

Whoa yeah,

Whoa yeah,

Whoa,

Whoa,

Whoa,

Whoa,

Whoa...

TEARS FOR FEARS lyrics - Elemental



This race is already run

Get off your horse, get on this train

" Welcome to the real world "

I said " Welcome to the real world "

Are we rushing like the wind?

Naked out and naked in

" Welcome to the free world "

I said " Welcome to the me world "

Are we rushing like the wind?

Put your lovin' arms around

Did you lose your faith in God, no?

Does your conscience always get you down?

Fall to pieces, rough and tumble

Does your conscience always get you down?

These days it's all the mind

It's Elemental

Don't say your up when your down

It's Elemental

Put your lovin' arms around

This your new year's resolution

Put your lovin'arms around

Nothing doing resolution

Put your lovin' arms around

Take another leap in the dark

With a humble heart

Do yourself some good

What did you become?

Patience, be sure

Baby, baby

These days it's all the mind

It's Elemental

Don't say your up when your down

It's Elemental

THE KINKS lyrics - Word Of Mouth



I've been trying to get a message to you,

But the operator can't put me through,

Because the vandals went and wrecked all the telephones.

And all my enemies are spreading bad news,

You won't call me, that's why I'm calling you,

To put you straight about the rumors they're spreading about me back home.



I should have known, sooner or later,

You'd get the news, sooner or later,

The word of mouth will get right back to you.



Somehow we lost communication,

My only chance in my situation,

Is that the word of mouth gets my message through.



The word of mouth,

The word of mouth,

But who are they to say the things they do?



The word of mouth says that I've gone insane,

That wine and women have affected my brain.

Well who's the big mouth spreading the news again?

The word of mouth says I'm round the bend,

It's all over, this is the end.

Exaggeration sure gets the better of people who send[?].



The word of mouth,

The word of mouth,

But who are they to say the things they do?



The word of mouth said I should be put in my place.

The word is out I'm in disgrace - a waste of space.

But if they say it, say it to my face.



People talking, trying to dig up the dirt,

There are so many lies around.

They spread their gossip and the rumors around this town.



Word of mouth, face to face,

My word of mouth has stated my case,

And I'm saying I'm coming back home to you.



You should have know sooner or later,

You'd get the news sooner or later,

The word of mouth will get right back to you.



The word of mouth,

Shut your mouth,

Shut your face!


MEGADETH lyrics - Devil's Island



The light that fills my lonely cell,

Is blocked out by the key,

That locks the door to this hell,

The place they wanted me.

Time's racing like the wind,

Execution's near,

Oh lord, I wait for death,

And, yes, I have no fear.

I recall that night, my every breath,

And, step along the way.

Closed my eyes, walking,

As danger paved the way.

The devil, and the darkness

Let her evil wander free

And, here on Devils Island,

The final stop for me.



[Chorus:]

Devils Island, Devils Island.



Oh, there is no escape,

The sea is full of sharks.

The tide takes you away, and

Smashes you on the rocks.

The sun is shining,

But feel not today,

It's warmth, it's dying,

And fading away.



[Chorus]



Devils Island, Devils Island.



Oh, hear the call,

From the grave beyond.

Oh, so pernicious,

Her soul it creates song.

As there is no man, that is

Here upon the earth,

Able to terminate our

Noisome will since birth.



The priest that reads the sermons,

Is walking next to me,

To the stake, my last request,

To have her burn with me.

But, so it did, the heavens opened,

Rain began to fall.

The final judgement came, and

Was spread before you all.

Final judgement.



Old, weak, and feeble,

But the lesson taught to me,

To stay away from evil,

She doesn't care for me.

She haunts me in my sleep,

Though I tore that page away.

And, here on Devils Island,

I'll always have to stay.



[Chorus]



Devils Island, Devils Island

Here I am.



[Chorus]



Devils Island, Devils Island


DORO PESCH lyrics - Kiss Of Fire



(I) Search for something that makes me go on

(I) Search for someone that I can hold on to

(I) Search for something that's so hard to find

In search forever I've been losing my mind



Oh, can you save me before I go insane

Oh, can you hold me and take away my pain



Something's burning in your eyes

A touch away from paradise



[Chorus:]

A kiss of fire can make me survive

With a kiss of fire you'll bring me back to life

Only pure desire can fill me up inside

A kiss of fire can make me come alive, yeah

Bring me back to life



(I) Been searchin' for something that makes me go on

(I) Been searchin' for someone that I can hold on to

(I) Been searchin' for something that's so hard to find

In search forever I've been losing my mind



Something's burning in your eyes

A touch away from paradise



[Chorus]



Kiss of Fire



Your kiss of fire can make me survive

A kiss of fire can bring me back to life

Only pure desire can fill me up inside

A kiss of fire can make me come alive, yeah



With a kiss, a kiss of fire

Kiss of fire

STEVE HACKETT lyrics - The Hermit



The mantle of attainment

Weighs heavy on his shoulders

Guided by a lantern

Flickering he grows older

A refuge found in exile

He shuffles on in blindness

You'll take his hand, he'll lose himself

Bewildered by your kindness



Enshrouded by darkness

A figure slowly forms

Through many years of banishment

No shelter from the storm

To find this slave of solitude

You'll know him by his star

Then take his hand, he'll lose himself

Knowing who you are


GRATEFUL DEAD lyrics - Deal



Since it cost a lot to win

and even more to lose

You and me bound to spend some time

wondring what to choose



Goes to show you don't ever know

Watch each card you play

and play it slow

Wait until your deal come round

Don't you let that deal go down



I been gambling here abouts

for ten good solid years

If I told you all that went down

it would burn off both your ears



It goes to show you don't ever know

Watch each card you play

and play it slow

Wait until your deal come round

Don't you let that deal go down



Since you poured the wine for me

and tightend up my shoes

I hate to leave you sittin there

composin lonesome blues



It goes to show you don't ever know

Watch each card you play

and play it slow

Wait until your deal come round

Don't you let that deal go down

Don't you let that deal go down, no

Don't you let your deal go down


MADNESS lyrics - Decieves The Eye



(Foreman/Bedford)



In the earliest days of my shoplifting career

You could safely say I was filled with fear

It was nail biting work from the very start

But several quick successes soon gave me heart

After a while I could pick or nick with ease

Some shirts some trousers and a few LPs

No-one ever stopped me they didn't seem to care

It sometimes seemed to me that there was no-one there.



Then a fine summers day my mates and me

Set off down the West End on our usual spree

Things were as normal for an hour or so

Then my nimble hands were a bit too slow

Two store detectives made a fast approach

One grabbed my jacket and said you're nicked

The other grabbed my throat

So they caught me at last, one said with joy

You'll have to do some time my light fingered boy



If only I'd remembered my common sense

They captured me red-handed with evidence

If I go to the manager and say I'm sorry

Maybe he'll forgive me for my youthful folly



But what will me social worker say

If I don't come home today

He'll give me a clout

What if they don't let me out

I told him I'm on me own

Don't they understand

I'm from a broken home



I'll tell them I'm the product of a broken home,

And I always went out on my own

Was it too late to say I'd pay

And I'll never steal again 'till the end of my days

Because I have no friends to call as such

Money and possessions I did not have much

So I started to steal in order to get by

The quickness of the hand deceives the eye

Deceives the eye the eye the eye...
