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

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

Nightlife, streetlife
My life, your life
Rockin' the airwaves, all night long

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

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
Frontenac Chateau baby
I'll cross the frontier at ten
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...
