DOLLY PARTON lyrics - The Glory Forever



Thine is the kingdom

Thine is the power

And Thine is the glory forever

Our Father who art in heaven, holy be Thy name

Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done

On earth as it is in heaven



Give us this day our daily bread

Forgive us and those who would trespass against us

Leading us not into temptation

But deliver us, deliver us from evil



For Thine is the kingdom

Thine is the power

And Thine is the glory forever



Thine is the kingdom

And Thine is the power

The glory forever a-a-amen


GUNS 'N' ROSES lyrics - Oh My God



It's not how you're thinking

Like you've been right

You've been living a trade-off

Believe your own version

Believe your enslavery and drain out your soul

What can I do when there's so many liars

That crawl through your veins

Like millions of spiders

That seek out their victims

And ruin the wiser

Watch out

Gotcha



Oh my god

I can't deny this

I've been taught just to kill and fight this

To bury it deeper where nobody can find it

Like nobody wanted to know



So give it away

Like they're not gonna fuck you

How long can you bear him

To come back and haunt you

To burn past your feelings

And cause you to suffer

You're starting to bleed

They don't give you up

Before its too late

What will you offer

In way of a healing

I'm so confused, abused, misused



Oh my god

I can't deny this

I've been taught just to kill and fight this

To bury it deeper where nobody can find it

Like nobody wouldn't know



Ooh, if it opens your eyes

This is better than a strong compromise

I was willing to be lost in the shuffle

If only you had let me know

Ooh, if it opens your eyes

This is better than the last compromise

I was willing to be lost in the shadows

If only you had let me know



And they wont give in

Cause they know what they're after

A kick in the face

Like its all that would matter

Ohh



Oh my god

I can't deny this

I've been taught just to murder and fight this

To bury it deeper where no one can find it

Cuz nobody wouldn't know



Ooh, if it opens your eyes

This is better than a good compromise

I was willing to be lost in the shuffle

If only you had let me know



Ooh, well its on with the show

Like the tide down on the ocean

The waves already set in motion

The only one in the game that's lost is you


UFO lyrics - Easy Money



Let's go -- while we're young!



Moving easy money, how far to the street

Close-in complications better keep your nose clean, better move my feet

Moves me like a winner I'm turning up the heat

I've gotta get me something

I want to feel some friction, want to feel some heat

Keep your pretentions feel this beat



Easy money I'm a rolling dice now

Give me something but your good advice

Easy money I'm a rolling dice now, easy money



Sticky situations and a woman's revelations

I've gotta feel something, wanna feel some friction, wanna feel this heat

Keep your pretentions feel this beat

Easy money I'm a rolling dice now

I don't need nothing, your good advice

Easy money I'm a rolling dice now easy money



Look into my soul, and the night life of Amsterdam



Laid down in Stockholm, I'll always be your fan

Wind blows off the twilight, sunset in L. A.

The powers of the world, easy money's OK



Instrumental



Easy money I'm a rolling dice now

Give me something but your advice

Easy money I'm a rolling dice now

Give me something but your good advice

Easy money and a rolling dice now

Give ms something I won't think twice

Easy money I'm a rolling dice now,

Easy money easy money, hold on tight now

Easy money I'm a rolling dice

Give me money, easy money....

THE TEMPTATIONS lyrics - I've Passed This Way Before



Melvin:

Life lands a freshing blow.

And once again our heart is broken.

And as history repeats itself.

These few words are sadly spoken.



David:

I've passed this way before.

I've felt this pain before.

A hurt that took so long to end.

Has found my poor heart again.



As I watch love walking away.

It brings back old memories.

But a familiar pain still feels the same.

Once again, heartache has found me.



A dark cloud covered my heart.

Oh, when she told me goodbye.

Now there's nothing left but emptiness.

And the tears that filled my crying eyes.



I've passed this way before.

I've felt this pain before.

A hurt that took so long to end.

Has found my poor heart again.



No matter how strong a man is.

Without a love he walks in the dark, baby.

If love deserts him it would surely hurt him.

'Cause his weakness is his heart.



A lonely journey now stands before me.

The endless pain has started.

But this time I know the way.

Walking alone and broken hearted.



Because I've passed this way before.

And I've felt this pain before.

A hurt that took so long to end.

Has found my poor heart again.



I've passed this way before.

I've felt this pain before.

A hurt that took so long to end.

Has found my poor heart again.


THE POGUES lyrics - Down All The Days



(Shane MacGowan)



Christy Brown a clown around town

Now he's a man of renown from Dingle to Down

I type with me toes

Suck stout through me nose

And where it's gonna end

God only knows



Down all the days

The tap-tap-tapping

Of the typewriter pays

The gentle rattling

Of the drays

Down all the days



I have often had to depend upon

The kindness of strangers

But I've never been asked

And I never replied

If I supported the Glasgow Rangers



Down all the days....


LOU REED lyrics - Strawman



We who have so much to you who have so little

to you who don't have anything at all

We who have so much more than any one man does need

and you who don't have anything at all, ah

Does anybody need another million dollar movie

does anybody need another million dollar star

Does anybody need to be told over and over

spitting in the wind comes back at you twice as hard



Strawman, going straight to the devil

Strawman, going straight to hell

Strawman, going straight to the devil

Strawman, Strawman

Strawman, Strawman, yes



Does anyone really need a billion dollar rocket

does anyone need a $60,000 car

Does anyone need another President

or the sins of Swaggart parts 6, 7, 8, and 9, ah

Does anyone need another politician

caught with his pants down money sticking in his hole

Does anyone need another racist preacher

spittin' in the wind can only do you harm, wow



Strawman, going straight to the devil

Strawman, going straight to hell

Strawman, going straight to the devil

Strawman, Strawman

Strawman, Strawman



Does anyone need another faulty shuttle

blasting off to the Moon, Venus or Mars

Does anyone need another self-righteous rock and roll singer

whose nose he says has led him straight to God

Does anyone need yet another blank skyscraper

If you're like me I'm sure a minor miracle will do

A flaming sword or maybe a gold ark floating up the Hudson

When you spit in the wind it comes right back at you



Strawman, going straight to the devil

Strawman, going straight to hell

Strawman, going straight to the devil

Strawman, Strawman, Strawman

Strawman, Strawman


THE HOLLIES lyrics - Just One Look



(Payne / Carroll)



[Chorus:]

Just one look

I felt so I, I, I'm in love

With you

I found out

How good it feels

To have your love

Say you will

Will be mine

Forever and always

Just one look and I knew

That you were my only one



I thought I was dreaming

But I was wrong, yeah yeah yeah

Oh, but I'm gonna keep on scheming

Til I can make you

Make you my own



Can't you see

That I really care

Without you

I'm nothin'

Just one look

And I knew

I'll get you some day



[Chorus]



Just one look, that's all it took

Just one look

STEVE EARLE lyrics - Sometimes She Forgets



(Steve Earle)



If you see her out tonight

And she tells you it's just the lights

That bring her here and not her loneliness

That's what she says but sometimes she forgets

If she tells you she don't need a man

She's had all the comfort she can stand

You'd best believe every word she says

But don't give up 'cause sometimes she forgets



Sometimes she forgets that not too long ago she swore

She wasn't gonna let her heart be broken anymore



So now she keeps it locked away

It grows colder every day

And it won't warm to any man's caress

That's what she says but sometimes she forgets



Sometimes she forgets that not too long ago she swore

She wasn't gonna let her heart be broken anymore



Hey now don't give up 'cause sometimes she forgets


BUDDY HOLLY lyrics - I'm Looking For Someone To Love



(Holly / Petty)



Stayin' at home, waitin' for you

Just won't get it 'cause you say we're thru

Well I'm lookin' for someone to love

I'm lookin' for someone to love

Well if you're not here

But baby, I don't care

Because I'm lookin' for someone to love



Playin' the field all day long

Since I found out I was wronged

Well I'm lookin' for someone to love

I'm lookin' for someone to love

Well if you're not here

But baby I don't care

'Cause I'm lookin' for someone to love



Caught myself, thinkin' of you

You can't love me and an other one too

Well I'm lookin' for someone to love

I'm lookin' for someone to love

Well if you're not here

But baby I don't care

Because I'm lookin' for someone to love



Drunk man, street car

Foot slipped, there you are

Well I'm lookin' for someone to love

I'm a-lookin' for someone to love

Well if you're not here

But baby I don't care

Because I'm a-lookin' for someone to love

I'm lookin' for someone to love

I'm lookin' for someone to love

I'm lookin' for someone to love

I'm lookin' for someone to love

SONIC YOUTH lyrics - The Burning Spear



I'm not afraid to say I'm scared

In my bed I'm deep in prayer

I trust the speed I love the fear

The music comes

The burning spear


KISS lyrics - Little Caesar



Ten million stories in the city, ten million backs against the wall

Desperation's out tonight, you can cut it with a knife

Everybody wants to have it all

Well they tell you that the world is rough

But they never rocked it hard enough



Chorus:

Hey little Caesar, nobody messing with you

Hey little Caesar, go show 'em what you can do



Nobody said that it was pretty, you haven't got a penny or a prayer

You know it's gonna be a fight, if you wanna see your name in lights

Ain't nobody gives a damn out there

Well you got your guts, you got your pride

But you'll never let them see inside



chorus



(Spoken:)

Well you don't believe in the books and rules

'Cause you just believe in what you know is cool

Well they tell you that the world is rough

But they never rocked it hard enough - I can't hear you



They just don't understand, you gotta fight to be a man



chorus



Hey little Caesar, oh yeah, that's what it is

Hey little Caesar, yeah


URIAH HEEP lyrics - Born In A Trunk



(Box/Byron)



You were born in a trunk

Everyone talkin' about you

You were born in a trunk

Where would they be without you



You better move off the rails

People begin to look subways

You better move off the rails

You won't even listen to my way



I'm livin' in shame

People say I don't matter

I'm livin' in shame



You were born in a trunk

Everyone talkin' about you

You were born in a trunk

Where would they be without you



You better move off the rails

People begin to look subways

You better move off the rails

You won't even listen to my way

BRENDA LEE lyrics - So Close To Heaven



(B. Weinstein - J. Stroll)



Lightnin' flashed, thunder roared

And all the future that I counted on

In a moment it had come and gone

By the time I could turn around

You were gone and I was all alone

Sort of like the comet beyond the star

You brought me so close to heaven

I was so high off of the ground

So close to heaven

And I think I may never come down



Nature laughed, I discovered you

Someone I could tell my troubles to

Guess I learned some thing I never knew

You brought me so close to heaven

I was so high off of the ground

So close, so close

And I think I may never come down

So close to heaven

So high off of the ground

So close to heaven...


OTIS REDDING lyrics - That's What My Heart Needs



You left me, for another

You told me, he was your lover

So I'm begging and I'm pleading

And I'm down on any knee, ooh baby

That's What My Heart Needs



Baby, ooh baby

I'm calling you out loud and clear, baby

Ooh baby

I love you, yes I do

And I want on meeting you, ooh baby

That's What My Heart Needs



Darling, my my darling

I need you here right by my side, baby, darling

If you hadn't left that day

Then my love wouldn't be this way, ooh baby

That's what my heart needs



Come on baby

I said I need you right here by my side

I said I need you baby

I need you here to protect me and be my guide

And ooh, baby, yeah baby

I know you don't know what I mean, baby

Ooh, baby, yeah, HEY baby

Hey hey baby

Come on, come on and love me, baby, Lord

Come on, come on and be right by my side

hey, come on


CHAKA KHAN lyrics - To Sir With Love



(Marc London, Don Black, R Granier)



Those schoolgirl days of telling tales and biting nails are gone

But in my mind I know they will still live on and on

But how do you thank someone who has taken you from crayons to perfume?

It isn't easy, but I'll try



If you wanted the sky I would write across the sky in letters

That would soar a thousand feet high 'To Sir, With Love'



The time has come for closing books and long last looks must end

And as I leave I know that I am leaving my best friend

A friend who taught me right from wrong and weak from strong

That's a lot to learn, but what can I give you in return?



If you wanted the moon I would try to make a start

But I would rather you let me give my heart 'To Sir, With Love'


ANITA BAKER lyrics - Caught Up In The Rapture



(Music: Garry Glenn, Words: Dianne Quander)



When we met, I always knew

I would feel the magic for you

On my mind constantly

In my arms is where you should be



I love you here by me, baby

You let my love fly free

I want you in my life for all time



[Chorus:]

Caught up in the rapture of love

Nothing else can compare

When I feel the magic of you



We stand side by side

Till the storms of life pass us by

Light my life, warm my heart

Say tonight will be just the start

I love you here by me, baby

You let my love fly free

I want you in my life for all time



[Chorus 2:]

Caught up in the rapture of love

Nothing else can compare

When I feel the magic of you

The feeling's always new

Caught up in the rapture of you



I love you here by me, baby

You let my love fly free

I want you in my life for all time



[Chorus 2]



Caught up in the rapture of love

Caught up in the rapture of love


FRANK SINATRA lyrics - Young At Heart



(G. Leigh, J. Richards)



[Recorded April 29, 1963, Los Angeles]



Fairy tales can come true, it can happen to you

If you're young at heart.

For it's hard, you will find, to be narrow of mind

If you're young at heart.



You can go to extremes with impossible schemes.

You can laugh when your dreams fall apart at the seams.

And life gets more exciting with each passing day.

And love is either in your heart, or on it's way.



Don't you know that it's worth every treasure on earth

To be young at heart.

For as rich as you are, it's much better by far

To be young at heart.



And if you should survive to 105,

Look at all you'll derive out of being alive!

And here is the best part, you have a head start

If you are among the very young at heart.



[Musical interlude]



And if you should survive to 105,

Look at all you'll derive out of being alive!

And here is the best part, you have a head start

If you are among the very young at heart.


COCTEAU TWINS lyrics - Millimillenary



Milli - milli - millenary

Pandora missed her shot



While you did, she was aimed and did

Pandora missed her shot

Just waits for you to hurt her



Milli - milli - millenary

She's wearing shades of brown

Pandora masked her shard of

JOHNNY MATHIS lyrics - Winter Wonderland



Sleigh bells ring, are you listening,

In the lane, snow is glistening

A beautiful sight,

We're happy tonight,

Walking in a winter wonderland.



Gone away is the bluebird,

Here to stay is a new bird

He sings a love song,

As we go along,

Walking in a winter wonderland.



In the meadow we can build a snowman,

Then pretend that he is Parson Brown

He'll say: Are you married?

We'll say: No man,

But you can do the job

When you're in town.



Later on, we'll conspire,

As we dream by the fire

To face unafraid,

The plans that we've made,

Walking in a winter wonderland.



In the meadow we can build a snowman,

And pretend that he's a circus clown

We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman,

Until the other kids knock him down.



When it snows, ain't it thrilling,

Though your nose gets a chilling

We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way,

Walking in a winter wonderland.



Walking in a winter wonderland,

Walking in a winter wonderland.

THE KINGSTON TRIO lyrics - Ann



(Billy Edd Wheeler)



I know I'll never meet another hunk o' woman like my Ann. She makes me feel like a great big man.

I'm gonna go tell her mama what I think about her, say, "Thank you, ma'am, for giving me your daughter Ann."



She sure is stacked from her toes to the nape of her neck, she's packed like a seed in a grape, she's smooth as marble skin.

When I see her I believe I'm a real young guy and ev'ry time I go to work I think I might die if I can't hurry home again.

If the good Lord worked all night a-makin' me a female plan, I'd say, "No, thanks, Lord. I'll just keep Ann."



How could I ever look at any other woman when I've got Ann? I feel so good when she takes my hand.

I'm gonna go tell her daddy what I think about her, say, "Thank you, man, for giving me your daughter Ann."

When I come home and I feel like I've been run over by a ten-ton truck she can rub my shoulder and ease my aches and pains.

If I lose my job and I'm down to a silver dollar and I feel like a dried up gourd in a holler, she soothes my brow like summer rain.

If the good Lord worked all night a-makin' me a female plan, I'd say, "No, thanks, Lord. I'll just keep Ann."

I'd say, "No thanks, Lord, I'll just keep Ann."


MUDDY WATERS lyrics - You Can't Lose What You Never Had



(McKinley Morganfield a. k.a. Muddy Waters)



Had a sweet little girl, I lose my baby, boy ain't that bad

Had a sweet little girl, I lose my baby, boy ain't that bad

You can't spend what you ain't got,

You can't lose some little girl you ain't never had



Had money in the bank, I got busted, people ain't that bad

Had money in the bank, I got busted, people ain't that bad

You can't spend what you ain't got,

You can't lose some little girl you ain't never had



Ain't that the truth boys



Had a sweet little home, it got burned down, people ain't that bad

My own fault, people ain't that bad

Well you know you can't spend what you ain't got,

You can't lose some blues you ain't never had



Have mercy!



Sweet little home, got burned down, people ain't that bad

Yeah you know I had a sweet little home, it got burned down, people ain't that bad

Whoa you know you can't spend what you ain't got,

You can't lose some little girl you ain't never had


NICK CAVE AND THE BAD SEEDS lyrics - Knoxville Girl



I met a little girl in Knoxville,

A town we all know well.

And every Sunday evenin',

Out in her home I dwell.

We went to take an evenin' walk

About a mile from town.

I picked a stick up off the ground

And I knocked that fair girl down.

She fell down on her bended knees

And mercy she did cry.

"Oh really dear, don't kill me yet,

I'm unprepared to die..."

She never spoke another word,

I only beat her more

Until the ground around me

With her blood did flow.



I took her by her golden curls And I dragged her round and round,

Throwing her into the river

That flows through Knoxville town...

"Go down, go down Knoxville girl!

With your dark and roven eyes...

Yeah, go down, go down Knoxville girl!

You can never be my bride."



I started back to Knoxville,

Got there about midnight.

My mother she was worried

And woke up in a fright

"Say there son, what have you done

To bloody up your clothes?"

I told my anxious mother

I was bleedin' of my nose.



I called for me a-candle

And I called for me a-bed

And I called for me a-handkerchief

To bind my achin' head.

I rolled and trashed the whole night through

Oh, horrors I did see:

The devil stood at the foot of my bed

Pointin' his finger at me.



They carried me down to Knoxville

And put me in a cell.

My friends all tried to get me out

But none could post my bail.

I'm here to waste my life away

Down in this dirty old jail

Because I murdered that Knoxville girl,

Girl I loved so well.

THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS lyrics - Mainstream U. S.A



Can I have this last dance, my darling?

Can I have this last dance with you?

I wanna dance the whole night tonight



And can I have this last dance, my darling?

Can I have this last dance with you?

These are the words that he told to the fellow next door



Mainstream, U. S.A.

I flipped that guy the bird

Mainstream, U. S.A.

Is all I wanna say



Mainstream, U. S.A.

I flipped that guy the bird

Mainstream, U. S.A.

Is all I wanna say



We are the world (back off, fool)

We are (I'm talking to you)

We are the world (back off, fool)



Mainstream, U. S.A.

I flipped that guy the bird

Mainstream, U. S.A.

Is all I wanna say

Mainstream, U. S.A.

I flipped that guy the bird

Mainstream, U. S.A.

Is all I wanna say


STING lyrics - All This Time



I looked out across

The river today

I saw a city in the fog and an old church tower

Where the seagulls play

I saw the sad shire horses walking home

In the sodium light

I saw two priests on the ferry

October geese on a cold winter's night



And all this time, the river flowed

Endlessly to the sea



Two priests came round our house tonight

One young, one old, to offer prayers for the dying

To serve the final rite

One to learn, one to teach

Which was the cold wind blows

Fussing and flapping in priestly black

Like a murder of crows



And all this time, the river flowed

Endlessly to the sea

If I had my way I'd take a boat from the river

And I'd bury the old man,

I'd bury him at sea



Blessed are the poor, for they shall inherit the earth

Better to be poor than a fat man in the eye of a needle

And as these words were spoken I swore I hear

The old man laughing

'What good is a used up world and how could it be

Worth having'



And all this time the river flowed

Endlessly like a silent tear

And all this time the river flowed

Father, if Jesus exists,

Then how come he never lived here



The teachers told us, the Romans built this place

They built a wall and a temple, an edge of the empire

Garrison town,

They lived and they died, they prayed to their gods

But the stone gods did not make a sound

And their empire crumbled, 'til all that was left

Were the stones the workmen found



And all this time the river flowed

In the falling light of a northern sun

If I had my way I'd take a boat from the river

Men go crazy in congregations

But they only get better

One by one

One by one...

GRATEFUL DEAD lyrics - Me And Bobby McGee



Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin' for a train,

Feeling nearly faded as my jeans,

Bobby flagged a diesel down, just before it rained,

Took us all the way to New Orleans.



I took my harp on out of my dirty red bandanna,

I was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues,

With them windshield wipers slappin' time, Bobby clappin' hands,

We sang every song that driver knew.



Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to do.

Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free.

Feelin' good was easy Lord, when Bobby sang the blues.

Feelin' good was good enough for me, good enough for me and Bobby McGee.



From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun,

Bobby shared the secrets of my soul,

Standing right beside me, Lord, in everything I done,

Bobby's body kept me from the cold.



Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord, I let her slip away,

Lookin' for that home, I hope she finds,

And I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday

Holding Bobby's body close to mine.



Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose.

Nothin' was all she left for me.

Feelin' good was easy Lord, when Bobby sang the blues.

Feelin' good was good enough for me, good enough for me and Bobby McGee.

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to do.

Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free.

Feelin' good was easy Lord, when Bobby sang the blues.

Feelin' good was good enough for me, good enough for me and Bobby McGee.


SINEAD O'CONNOR lyrics - Burn You Up, Burn You Down



Straight as an arrow

Carry your intentions to the wind

Dogs all around you

But you cannot get the message to your friend



At every rendezvous you keep on walking around (left)

Nighttime in the city and the rain keeps falling down



Let me tell you how it all works out

Never thought we had so much time to lose

Just learning how to twist and shout

Doesn't matter much which damn beat you use

Let me tell you how it all works out

Never thought we had so much time to lose

Just learning how to twist and shout

Doesn't matter much which damn beat you use



Ill wind blows the road to go

How many times we've told you so

(Burn you up and I'll burn you down)

(Burn you up and I'll burn you down)

No rhyme or reason

No way to make it easy 'til it's done

(Burn you up and I'll burn you down)

(Burn you up and I'll burn you down)

So you cross onto the other side of the street

(Burn you up and I'll burn you down)

(Burn you up and I'll burn you down)

Should know better but you keep turning up the heat



Let me tell you how it all works out

Never thought we had so much time to lose

Just learning how to twist and shout

Doesn't matter much which damn beat you use

Let me tell you how it all works out

Never thought we had so much time to lose

Just learning how to twist and shout

Doesn't matter much which damn beat you use



Oh-oh-ai-ai

(hey hey hey hey)

Let me feel this

(hey hey hey hey)

Hey-ey Hey Hey

(hey hey hey hey)

Make me feel it

(hey hey hey hey)



When they lose you, it can bruise you

(Burn you up and I'll burn you down)

(Burn you up and I'll burn you down)

Break me open, I need someone to see me

(Burn you up and I'll burn you down)

(Burn you up and I'll burn you down)

Make me feel it, make me feel



In the city and the rain is falling down

(Burn you up and I'll burn you down)

(Burn you up and I'll burn you down)

You can make it happen with your eyes, with your eyes alone



Let me tell you how it all works out

Never thought we had so much time to lose

Just learning how to twist and shout

Doesn't matter much which damn beat you use

Let me tell you how it all works out

Never thought we had so much time to lose

Just learning how to twist and shout

Doesn't matter much which damn beat you use



Break me open

(Let me tell you how it all works out)

(Never thought we had so much time to lose)

Make me feel it

(Just learning how to twist and shout)

(Doesn't matter much which damn beat you use)

Break me open

(Let me tell you how it all works out)

(Never thought we had so much time to lose)

Make me feel it

(You make me feel it)

(Just learning how to twist and shout)

(Doesn't matter much which damn beat you use)



You can make me feel it

You can make me, you can make me, you can make me feel it

You can make me feel it

You can make me feel it

You can make me feel it...

Alright, this is a tune called Raise Your Hand. Let's go, come on!



One, two! one, two, three!



If there's somethin' you need,

Hon, that you've never, ever, ever had.

I know you've never had it.

Oh, honey, don't you just sit there cryin',

Don't just sit there feelin' bad.

You'd better get up,

Now do you understand?

And raise you hand.

Hey, hey, hey.

JULIUS LAROSA lyrics - Domani



Maybe you'll fall in love with me Domani

Maybe tomorrow night the sun will shine

I'll change my name from Johnny to Giavonni

If you will say Domani, you'll be mine



Come to me, Senorina from Italy

Hear my plea and I'll hire the hall

All your Uncles and Aunts

And Ma and Pa and your Paisani

They all agree that we should wed Domani



[Instrumental Interlude]



You are so super duper bravissimo

Don't say no or my poor heart you'll break

'Cause your Uncles and Aunts

Aand your Ma and Pa and your Paisani

They all agree that we should wed, Domani


TOO $HORT (TOO SHORT) lyrics - Fire



[Erick Sermon:]

Where my money at ho..

Where my money at yo..

Get my money 'fore I whip..

Forget your big fat ass

We going off baby

We don't mess around cuz I'm nautious baby

You know I loaded it with the gun, pop pop..

Aiyyo, LET'S GO!!!



Here we go y'all

New shit new shit, out the door y'all

Shorty Pimp, E-Dub once again

So buy you some of this ghetto slum

Underground music from A-T-L

X rearranged it, Shorty B played it

Me and Shorty laid it, my niggaz OKed it

Carnefious Crawfish, next to slay it

Damn right! We do it all day bitch

Ride around in Benz's, twenty inch rimzes

What Short told y'all, New York to California

We put them high beams on ya - parkin lot pimpin

With the boom-boom twelve inches kickin, we stay hittin

Huh? The most consecutive

Fifteen albums, we're the executives

Who talkin money?



[Hook - E. Sermon:]

Let's do it baby

Me and Short dog on the mic baby

It's going down all night baby

Shootin all haters on sight baby

THAT'S RIGHT!!

Make room, E and Short be on fire!

Everything we do is fire!

This song is on fire! YO!



[Too $hort:]

Bitch! That's my favorite word

I cashed a million dollar check on Thursday the third

Now it's flowin like water out the kitchen sink

I make more money everytime you blink

Got you scratchin ya head, made you stop and think

He couldn't made all that he must have robbed a Brinks

We been around so long, makin funky songs

Now you gettin mad, say this cain't be goin on

How come E and Short get to stay in the game?

Don't ever talk down on a player's name

So when you see us on top of every chart

You know we been number one since the very start

We feed families; when we rhyme, celebrate like champions

You see mine - I never worry

I don't want the stress, you know my story

I learned how to ball from the best



[Hook - E. Sermon:]

Let's do it baby

Me and Short dog on the mic baby

It's going down all night baby

Shootin all haters on sight baby

THAT'S RIGHT!!

Make room, Eastcoast be on fire!

Westcoast be on fire!

Down south be on fire! YO!

(Detroit, Chi-town!)



[Erick Sermon:]

Don't stop the song now I'm not over

I must leave the scene wrecked, before closure

Highest doja, L. A. weed

Monopolize the south like L. A. Reed (BITCH!)

Sick individual, this here be the southwest coast

Eastcoast material

Erick Sermon, that's what I said man

Fuck with Short and I and be a dead man



[Too $hort:]

This is fire, pass it to me

It's so hot, E lemme hit that weed

Uptown, hydro is in my genes

It's like green, I just my be a fiend

Cuz I been tryin to O. D. lately

And your never gonna rehabilitate me

On a mission since the eigth grade

Keep gettin high, and stay paid



[Hook - E. Sermon:]

Let's do it baby

Me and Short dog on the mic baby

It's going down all night baby

Shootin all haters on sight baby

THAT'S RIGHT!!

Make room, tonight is on fire!

The roof is on fire!

These hoes be on fire! ...


LEO SAYER lyrics - The Show Must Go On



(Leo Sayer/David Courtney)



Baby, although I chose this lonely life

It seems it's strangling me now

All the wild men, big cigars, gigantic cars

They're all laughing at me now

Oh I've been used

I've been taken for a fool, oh what a fool

I broke all the rules

But I won't let the show go on

Baby look there's an enormous crowd of people

And they're all after my blood

I wish maybe they'd tear down the walls

Of this theatre and let me out, let me out

Oh I've been so blind

I've wasted time

Wasted, wasted, oh so much time

Walking on the wire, high wire

But I won't let the show go on



[Scat verse]

Oh I've been so blind

I've wasted time

Wasted, wasted, oh so much time

Walking on the wire, high wire

But I won't let the show go on

Baby I wish you'd help me escape

And help me get away

Leave me outside my address

Far away from this masquerade

I've been so used I've been so abused

I've been a fool I broke all the rules

I've been so used oh and abused

But I won't let the show go

I said I won't let the show oh

Won't let the show go on


JUDAS PRIEST lyrics - Defenders Of The Faith



I know you like it hot

Love to writhe and sweat

You think that this feels good

You ain't felt nothin' yet



Red-hot licks in the palm of my hand

Feel your body quake

As we hit the promised land

I'm heavy duty



We'll rise inside ya till the power splits your head

We're gonna rock ya till your metal hunger's fed



Let's all join forces

Rule with iron hand

And prove to all the world

Metal rules the land

We're heavy duty

So come on let's tell the world



We are defenders of the faith


THE BANGLES lyrics - Song For A Good Son



A summer's day so long ago

A thousand boats dancing on the bay

I came to you inside a dream

We both held hands and fell into the water

You never claimed to know me well

The dark-eyed son, the privileged man

You fond me bitter, you thought me cold

Well now I'm gonna make you understand

My mother died, my father cried

He left me lonely by the waterside

Waterside so deep and wide

If I follow, maybe I will find her



Beyond the salt and spray

The current carried her away



Beyond the salt and spray

The current carried her away



I can't outrun my destiny

Tell me who will sing a song for me

Darkness darkness cover me

By my own hands the way it has to be

My mother died my father cried

You will find me by the waterside

Waterside so deep and wide

If I follow, maybe I will find her

If I follow, maybe I will find her

EURYTHMICS lyrics - Forever



Forever

Now that you're gone

Gone forever

But the day goes on

Forever



When we were young

With time to waste

Everything was clear and good

Thought we could live

For a thousand years

But yesterday is done

And tomorrow's yet to come

You'll never know



Forever

Now that you're gone

Gone forever

But the day goes on

Forever

Yea yea yea

Forever



And I remember when we were fools

Everything was me and you

Thought we were kings

With time to kill

But yesterday is done

And tomorrow's yet to come

You live and learn



Some people never take the time to try

The way you live's the way you die

The stuff of life's in short supply

And if it sometimes hits you strong

Remembering that things go wrong

The song of life is just a song

And everything goes on and on



Forever

Now that you're gone

Gone forever

But the day goes on

Forever

Yea yea yea

Forever


BRENDA LEE lyrics - I Let You Let Me Down Again



(Ed Welch)



Not the first time nor the last

Love's a memory fading fast

I was doing fine but then

I let you let me down again



Didn't want to be your clown

Build me up then let me down

I wanted love, you gave me pain

I let you let me down again

In the time it takes to say

All the things I had to say

You changed your mind and went away

Oh why couldn't you stay.



You didn't even say goodbye

You didn't even cry

You left me standing in the rain

And I let you let me down again



In the time it takes to say

All the things I had to say

You changed your mind and went away

Oh why couldn't you stay.



Not the first time nor the last

Love's a story from the past

And it always ends the same

I let you let me down again

Oh, oh, I let you let me down again

KMFDM lyrics - Hydroelectric



Float flushed flowing like a riptide

Suffer this calamity

Drift swim hovering beside you

Question my humanity



It's a complex state

Another dimension

Blind as I sink to the other side

Calling me waking to a hurricane

Crush wave feels like I could flatline



Thermal fluorescence is all I remember

Succumb I surrender to this

Here to eternity not a reality

Only the pulse of insanity



Bombastic high

I thrive on this disease

Liquify sub-zero freeze



Initiate you germinate

It's you that moves me hydro-electric

Dive deep down

You dominate me

Invite induce and violate

Intoxicate

Hydro-electric you you you

Dominate me



It's the ebb and flow

Eternal connection

A trickle of rain shrouding the delta

Calling me waking to a hurricane

Watery grave

Cryogenic shelter



A broken reflection on the surface of never

From here to forever and back

Total viscosity into fluidity

Only the pulse of infinity

PATTY LOVELESS lyrics - What's A Broken Heart



What's a broken heart

It ain't no big deal

It's not what I have

It's only what I feel

I should laugh it off

I should never cry

It's not meant to live or die by

Once I learn to let him go

The healing has to start

It's temporary pain

I'll live to love again

So what's a broken heart



I just have to stop

And look at who I am

I was just a fool

He was just a man



I can walk away

Never looking back

All his tender lies are hard facts

Compared to those who have no hope

Their lives so cold and hard

All my misery

Is a raindrop in the sea

So what's a broken heart

What's a broken heart



With faith and time

I know I'll find

My world is not that dark

It's temporary pain

I'll live to love again

So what's a broken heart

What's a broken heart


THE DOOBIE BROTHERS lyrics - Ordinary Man



(Bob Bangerter / Michael Ruff / Neida Bequette)



In between the doubts and the dreamin'

Comes my humble quest for a plan

I've been out there hoverin' by

Don't forget to pull me in sometimes



Will you be with me as I make my journey

Through the labyrinth of time

And I'm still waitin' for the good Lord

To show me the way, babe



This is who you see, this is who I am

Please forgive me if I fall sometimes

Just an ordinary man



Will my reckless courage invite you

To become my clever companion

Madly in love and in love with the madness

Get ready to run baby



This is who you see, this is who I am

Please forgive me if I fall sometimes

Just an ordinary man

Enjoyin' the ride

Savor the simple pleasure

With you by my side



Who you see, this is who I am

Please forgive me if I fall sometimes

Just an ordinary man

AMBROSIA lyrics - For Openers (Welcome Home)



(Puerta - Pack - Drummond - Lewis)



Ain't nobody out there, just me and you

It's one on one, just we two

I got somethin' like a heartbeat

Only you control

And I'm up as far as I can bear to go



This is the road so welcome home

Where nothing real abounds

There is no reason we must wait

Let's take these pleasures now



Now...



Ain't nobody out there gonna disagree

We're all hiding something under lock 'n' key

You don't like it but you just can't stop

(But) keep your screws on tight

We'll undo all that's been done to you tonight



This is the place it all begins

There's no time to back down

There is no reason to pretend

Just take these pleasures now



Now...

DOLLY PARTON lyrics - Second Best



(Though I'm only second best you're still first with me)

I tried to make you love me I've done everything I could

I thought if I tried long enough maybe someday that you would

But there was someone else before me and it's her you're lovin' still

And I know no matter what I'd do I'm only second best

Only second best that's all I will ever be

Even though I'm second best you're still first with me

And I'll be loving you when they fall my hand I guess

I love you even though I know I'm only second best



I know you've tried to love me and I'd hope you would in time

I know that when you're holding me it's her that's on your mind

Now I know you can't get over her but I love you nonless

But it makes no difference what I'd do I'm only second best

Only second best...

I love you even though I know I'm only second best


U2 lyrics - Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own



Tough, you think you've got the stuff

You're telling me and anyone

You're hard enough



You don't have to put up a fight

You don't have to always be right

Let me take some of the punches

For you tonight



Listen to me now

I need to let you know

You don't have to go it alone



And it's you when I look in the mirror

And it's you when I don't pick up the phone

Sometimes you can't make it on your own



We fight all the time

You and I...that's alright

We're the same soul

I don't need...I don't need to hear you say

That if we weren't so alike

You'd like me a whole lot more



Listen to me now

I need to let you know

You don't have to go it alone



And it's you when I look in the mirror

And it's you when I don't pick up the phone

Sometimes you can't make it on your own



I know that we don't talk

I'm sick of it all

Can - you - hear - me - when - I -

Sing, you're the reason I sing

You're the reason why the opera is in me...



Where are we now?

I've got to let you know

A house still doesn't make a home

Don't leave me here alone...



And it's you when I look in the mirror

And it's you that makes it hard to let go

Sometimes you can't make it on your own

Sometimes you can't make it

The best you can do is to fake it

Sometimes you can't make it on your own


THE RAMONES lyrics - Crummy Stuff



I had enough, I had it tough

I had enough of that crummy stuff



Crummy

Crummy Stuff

Crummy

Crummy Stuff



I had enough, I had it rough

I had enough of that crummy stuff



Crummy

Crummy Stuff

Crummy

Crummy Stuff



Crummy music, crummy TV

Crummy people, crummy movies

Like a cat caught up a tree

This could only happen to me



I had enough, I had it rough

I had enough of that crummy stuff



Crummy

Crummy Stuff

Crummy

Crummy Stuff



I had enough, I had it rough

I had enough of that crummy stuff



Crummy

Crummy Stuff

Crummy

Crummy Stuff


URIAH HEEP lyrics - Universal Wheels (Nature's Retaliation)



(Box/Lanzon)



All the fields are smoke and flame

Fire in the sky

It's a state of emergency

Much more than meets the eye

Just hide away your tears

There are many more hidden fears

As the universal wheels go round n' round



Rivers of pollution

Taking life from living things

Running out of oxygen

There is no way to win

We ignore the signs of nature

Got to learn to live beside her

As the universal wheels go round n' round



Better take good care of all the things you say and do

Look out for the warning sign now it's up to you



There's a mighty eight point six

Waiting in the ground

When she opens up

This world will humble to the sound

There is only one real power

Creating life by the hour

See the universal wheels, see the universal wheels, see the

Universal wheels go round n' round

KISS lyrics - Two Timer



She thinks she's high fashion

She thinks she looks divine

And that's what I keep tellin' her

I tell her all the time



And she tells me she likes fast cars

She says she likes mine the best

And just because of that, baby

You think she'd forget the rest, no, no, no



Just call me a three time loser

That's all I'll ever be

'Cause my baby's such a two timer

You know she's two timing, she's a-two timing me



Two timer, my baby is a two timer

My baby's a two timer

My baby's a two timer

My baby, she's a-two timing me, timer

Two timer



Just call me a three time loser

That's all I'll ever be

'Cause my baby's such a two timer

You know she's two timing, she's a-two timing me



Two timer, two timer

My baby's a two timer

My baby's a two timer

My baby, she's a-two timing me, two timer

My baby is a two timer

She's nothin' but a two timer

It's the truth baby, you're a two timer

My baby is a two timer

My baby is a two timer


MIKE RUTHERFORD lyrics - Halfway There



Oh, I think I know the story

I've been hiding it for so long

Are you running away?

Cos I'm in love with you

There's nothing you can do

I'm in love with you



Why when we get halfway there

Why when we get halfway started

Why when we get halfway there

Do I feel it's so half-hearted?



(Make up your mind) making up your mind

(Better decide) you better decide this time

How can you call this loving?

You know it's all or nothing



I'm not afraid to tell the truth

I've been hiding it for so long

Oh, I think you already know

That I'm in love with you, with you



Why when we get halfway there

Why when we get halfway started

Why when we get halfway there

Do I feel it's so half-hearted?



(Make up your mind) making up your mind

(Better decide) you better decide this time

How can you call this loving?

You know it's all or nothing



Why when we get halfway there

Why when we get halfway started

Why when we get halfway there

Do I feel it's so half-hearted?



(Give me a sign) why don't you give me?

(Give me a line) why don't you believe me?

How can you call this loving?

You know it's all or nothing

Why when we get halfway there

Why when we get halfway there



(Make up your mind) making up your mind

(Better decide) you better decide this time

How can you call this loving?

You know it's all or nothing



(Make up your mind) why did you do it?

(Better decide) why can't you believe it?

How can you call this loving?

You know it's all or nothing...


ZUCCHERO lyrics - Antifona



Voglio sempre cantare

Perche e bello vivere

Voglio sempre cantare

Perche e bello morir d'amore

Voglio sempre cantare

Perche e bello vivere

Voglio sempre cantare

Perche e bello morir

D'amor uuuhhh


DORO PESCH lyrics - With The Wave Of Your Hand



I have been waiting here

Feels like a million years

Sometimes I disappear

Into the blue



Lost in the city lights

I can stay out all night

But it's such a lonely life

And nothing, nothing seems right



But with the wave of your hand

Everything changes

With the wave of your hand

I feel your magic on me

And I have the spark

And I have desire

And I'm drawn to the fire

With the wave of your hand

With the wave of your hand



I'll never know what you'll find

Whenever you read my mind

It's just like I'm hypnotized

And then I come alive



You put a spell on me

That's right where I wanna be

And there's no mystery

Because I believe



With the wave of your hand

Everything changes

With the wave of your hand

I feel your magic on me

And I have the spark of love

And I have desire

And I'm drawn to the fire

With the wave of your hand



And I have the spark of love

And I have desire

And I'm drawn to the fire

With the wave of your hand

Everything changes

With the wave of your hand

I feel your magic on me

And I have the spark of love

Yeah I have desire

And I'm drawn to the fire

With the wave of your hand

With the wave of your hand

With the wave of your hand

With the wave of your hand

With the wave of your hand


THE CURE lyrics - The Walk



I called you after midnight

Then ran until I burst

I passed the howling woman

And stood outside your door



We walked around a lake

And woke up in the rain

And everyone turned over

Troubled in their dreams again



Visiting time is over

And so we walk away

And both play dead then cry out loud

Why we always cry this way?



I kissed you in the water

And made your dry lips sing

I saw you look

Like a Japanese baby

In an instant I remembered everything...



I called you after midnight

Then ran until my heart burst

I passed the howling woman

And stood outside your door



I kissed you in the water

And made your dry lips sing

I saw you look

Like a Japanese baby

In an instant I remembered everything...


IRVING BERLIN lyrics - Si's Been Drinking Cider



[1st verse:]

"What's the matter? What's the matter?" shouted Farmer Brown

As he saw a crowd of people rushing thro' the town

"Is the town on fire or has someone met their death?"

One old Rube looked up at him and cried all out of breath



[1st refrain:]

Si's been drinking cider and he's acting like a fool

Take his wife and hide her for he's liable to treat her cru'l

He's acting mighty gay, he gave his Ingersoll away

Oh! oh! oh! oh! What will the neighbors say?

He told a naughty story to the Parson in the hall

Parson knew the answer so he didn't laugh at all

The constable and sheriff have locked him in the barn

But Si's been drinking cider

So he don't give a good gosh darn



[2nd verse:]

Hiram Perkins heard the news and my but he was vexed

Mumbled to himself "I wonder what will happen next?"

Told his wife that right before she rang the dinner bell

"No use talking, Mary Jane, the country's gone to hell"



[2nd refrain:]

Si's been drinking cider and he's acting like a fool

Take his wife and hide her for he's liable to treat her cru'l

He's acting mighty gay, he gave his Ingersoll away

Oh! oh! oh! oh! What will the neighbors say?

He told an untrue story of a chicken with one leg

Drinking boiling water and it laid a hard-boiled egg

The sheriff won't believe it, he claims that it's a yarn

But Si's been drinking cider

And he don't give a good gosh darn

LOREENA MCKENNITT lyrics - Come By The Hills



(Traditional, arranged and adapted by Loreena McKennitt)



Come by the hills to the land

Where fancy is free

And stand where the peaks meet the sky

And the rocks reach the sea

Where the rivers run clear and the bracken

Is gold in the sun

And cares of tomorrow must wait

Till this day is done.



Come by the hills to the land

Where life is a song

And sing while the birds fill the air

With their joy all day long

Where the trees sway in time, and even

The wind sings in tune

And cares of tomorrow must wait

Till this day is done.



Come by the hills to the land

Where fancy is free

And stand where the peaks meet the sky

And the rocks reach the sea

Where the rivers run clear and the bracken

Is gold in the sun

And cares of tomorrow must wait

Till this day is done.


AEROSMITH lyrics - Joanie's Butterfly



In water still

The night I met the pony

It was so dark that I could hardly see

It smelled so sweet you know who and Joanie

So many butterflies one could not see



We all could feel desire

Took off in flight

It was hotter than fire

Then came the light



Oooh, oooh

Oooh, ah, now smell the heat

The dancing pony unwrapped his wings

To dry off Joanie

The pony he grew in size

In thunder and rain

And finally realized

A what he was and what he does

And what he couldn't say



And left to kiss the cheek of Mother Nature

Nobody here can be denied such things

Make the ladies you love, come honey

No butterfly should be denied it's wings



He were a kick ass rocking horse

He like a hell bent tied to the Gavin Pole

It was a one time fantasy

I got the bare bones, fly into the Holy Land

Bare back, flyin' like a ruddered man

Nightmares, and he can't hold a candle to my dreams

Yeah...yeah



We rode the night

And took to wing

It was so alright

It was everything

We flew into burning skies

The thunder and rain

And finally realized

What he is and what he does

And what he couldn't say



Oh, no, no...

Took off in flight

Oh, no, no...

Then came the light



Flashback, something coming over me

No sweat, one time fantasy

Bare boned, and all that is the wind it seems

Hell, who's the chick

That rides into my dreams



No livery

No stable lights

No try to please

Nobody's eyes

We'll never see us again

In time it'll pass

And where did it all begin

But all in good time

Somebody shot an arrow



Now tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me never

Wakin' me 'cause you're cold somtimes

Being seduced will be your own pleasures

What be his muse may be what he must find



He was a kick ass rocking horse

He was a one horned, unicornucopia

Two, two in Utopia

Three star, verge into infinity

Four...(four)

Four...(four)

Na na na na na

Oooh, oooh...


CAROLE KING lyrics - Chalice Borealis



Chalice Borealis, lighting up the night

No wonderland for Alice - she don't have the right

Chalice Borealis - how does your garden glow

Molly don't work in Dallas

But the river has to go



Oh, whatcha gonna do when time runs out on you

Run down, ghost town

Barren pastures all around



How y'gonna explain it to your grandkids

Where did the mountain go

How y'gonna tell them you sold it

Where did the mountain go



Didn't turn out quite the way y'wanted

How were you to know

Boom town broke down - what a let down

Where did the mountain go



Chalice Borealis - will you ever learn

Your mother bears you no malice

But she will have her turn



Chalice Borealis - lighting up the sky

No wonderland for Alice

She's just passin' by, passin' by

BONNIE RAITT lyrics - Silver Lining



Take this silver lining

Keep it in your own

Sweet head

And shine it when the night is

Burning red

Shine it in the twilight

Shine it on the cold, cold ground

Shine it till these walls

Come tumbling down



We were born with our eyes wide open

So alive with wild hope now

Can you tell me why

Time after time they drag you down

Down in the darkest deep

Fools and their madness all around

Know that the light don't sleep



Step into the silence

Take it in your own

Two hands

And sprinkle it like diamonds

All across these lands

Blaze it in the morning

Wear it like an iron skin

Only things worth living for are

Innocence and magic, amen



We were born with our eyes wide open

So alive with wild hope now

Can you tell me why

Time after time they drag you down

Down in the darkest deep

Fools and their madness all around

Know that the light don't sleep



Woah, wooah



We were born with our eyes wide open

So alive with wild hope now

Can you tell me why

Time after time they drag you down

Down in the talk so cheap

Fools and their madness all around

Know that the light don't sleep

Know that the light don't sleep



Time after time

They drag you down

Down in the darkness deep

Fools in their madness all around

Know that the light don't sleep

Know that the light don't sleep

IRVING BERLIN lyrics - With You



[Verse:]

I could find the road to happiness with you close to me, dear

I could turn a failure to success if you always were near

I could make my dreams come true, but it will depend on you



[Refrain:]

With you, a sunny day, without you, clouds in the sky

With you, my luck will stay, without you, fortune will fly



With you, I'll never stop until I reach the top

Without you, I will never get by



With you, a happy song, without you, castles that fall

With you, I can't go wrong, without you, chances are small



With you, my banner's unfurled right there on top of the world

Without you, I'm just nothing at all


ELVIS COSTELLO lyrics - She's Pulling Out The Pin



She's pulling out the pin

That lets her hair fall down

She shakes her head and

It goes tumbling

Her smile was out of place

So she swept it off her face



Let me find the words and say them

Like some softly whispered Amen



As she starts to pull away

And the lights begin to dim

Is she thinking of me

Or is she thinking of him

She's pulling out the pin



She's slipping off the hook

Unbuttoning her dress

There's just enough to make some man a mess

She tears away the veil

With her fingernails



She came out high and kicking

While the band played "Hey good lookin'"

Do you hear something ticking?



Did somebody tell her?

You can really be redeemed

Could she actually be?

As desperate as she seems

She's tearing at the seams

She's going to extremes

Nobody told her it was a sin

So she's pulling out the pin



She's taping up her hands

Just as a boxer will

They started laughing

But if looks could kill

She'd take them down right now

She's covering her mouth

With someone or without

There's nothing more to say

This is her wedding day



Full of shattered glass and mayhem

Not one softly whispered amen



She's knocking down some doors

And the smoke begins to fill

Where the world without her ends

And the next one begins

She's pulling out the pin

BARRY MANILOW lyrics - It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year



It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

With the kids jingle belling

And everyone telling you "Be of good cheer"

It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

It's the hap - happiest season of all

With those holiday greetings and gay happy meetings

When friends come to call

It's the hap - happiest season of all



There'll be parties for hosting

Marshmallows for toasting

And caroling out in the snow

There'll be scary ghost stories

And tales of the glories of

Christmases long, long ago



It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

There'll be much mistltoeing

And hearts will be glowing

When love ones are near

It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year



There'll be parties for hosting

Marshmallows for toasting

And caroling out in the snow

There'll be scary ghost stories

And tales of the glories of

Christmases long, long ago



It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

There'll be much mistltoeing

And hearts will be glowing

When love ones are near

It's The Most Wonderful Time

It's The Most Wonderful Time

It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year


METALLICA lyrics - Am I Evil?



(Harris / Tatler)



[Original: Diamond Head]



My mother was a witch, she was burned alive.

Thankless little bitch, for the tears I cried.

Take her down now, don't want to see her face

All blistered and burnt, can't hide my disgrace.



Twenty-seven, everyone was nice.

Gotta see 'em make 'em pay the price.

See their bodies out on the ice.

Take my time.



Am I evil? Yes I am.

Am I evil? I am man, yes I am.



As I watched my mother die, I lost my head.

Revenge now I sought, to break with my bread.

Taking no chances, you come with me.

I'll split you to the bone, help set you free.



Twenty-seven, everyone was nice.

Gotta see 'em make 'em pay the price.

See their bodies out on the ice.

Take my time.



Am I evil? Yes I am.

Am I evil? I am man, yes I am.



On with the action now, I'll strip your pride.

I'll spread your blood around, I'll see you ride.

Your face is scarred with steel, wounds deep and neat.

Like a double dozen before ya, smells so sweet.



Am I evil? Yes I am.

Am I evil? I am man.



I'll make my residence, I'll watch your fire.

You can come with me, sweet desire.

My face is long forgot, my face not my own.

Sweet and timely whore, take me home.



Am I evil? Yes I am.

Am I evil? I am man.



My soul is longing for, await my heir.

Sent to avenge my mother, sweep myself.

My face is long forgot, my face not my own.

Sweet and timely whore, take me home.



Am I evil? Yes I am.

Am I evil? I am man.



Am I evil? Yes I fucking am.

Am I evil? I am man, yeah.


BELINDA CARLISLE lyrics - Half The World



(Richard Feldman/Eric Pressly/Ellen Shipley)



Only one shadow on the wall

Just one candle burning bright

I hold your picture to my heart

I'm alone inside the night

The sun comes up in China... the lights go on in Rome



Half the world is waiting for someone they can hold

Half the world is praying they'll never be alone

Everytime you leave me a part of me goes too

And half your world is waiting here for you



I reach across an empty bed

I hear your whisper in my ear

But like the sun without the moon

It's half a dream without you here

The train that takes you from me

Brings somebody home



Half the world is waiting for someone they can hold

Half the world is praying they'll never be alone

Everytime you leave me a part of me goes too

And half your world is waiting here for you



Baby the earth stands still

When I'm lying next to you

No matter where you go

Our whole world's inside this room

The sun comes up in China

The lights go on in Rome... oh



Half the world is waiting for someone they can hold

Half the world is praying they'll never be alone

And everytime you leave me my heart breaks in two

And half the world is waiting here for you



I'm waiting here for you...


SERGIO MENDES lyrics - Mas Que Nada



(Jorge Ben)



Oaria raio

Oba Oba Oba

Mas que nada

Sai da minha frente

Eu quero passar

Pois o samba esta animado

O que eu quero e sambar

Este samba

Que e misto de maracatu

E samba de preto velho

Samba de preto tu

Mas que nada

Um samba como esse tao legal

Voce nao vai querer

Que eu chegue no final


THE CURE lyrics - Cut



If only you'd never speak to me

The way that you do

If only you'd never speak like that

It's like listening to

A breaking heart

A falling sky

Fire go out and friendship die

I wish you felt the way that I still do

The way that I still do



If only you'd never look at me

The way that you do

If only you'd never look like that

When I look at you

I see face like stone

Eyes of ice

Mouth so sweetly telling lies

I wish you felt the way that I still do

The way that I still do

But you don't

You don't feel anymore

You don't care anymore

It's all gone



If only you'd never pull from me

The way that you do

If only you'd never pull like that

When I'm with you

I feel hopeless hands helplessly

Pulling you back close to me

I wish you felt the way that I still do

The way that I still do



If only you'd ever speak speak to me

The way you once did

Look at me the way you once did

Pull to me the way you once did

But you don't

You don't feel anymore

You don't care anymore

It's all gone

It's all gone

BRYAN ADAMS lyrics - Voce Ja Amou Realmente Uma Mulher?



Para amar realmente uma mulher

para compreende-la

voce deve conhece-la profundament

ouvir todos os pensamentos

ver todos os sonhos

e dar-lhe asas

quando ela quiser voar

Ent? o (e) quando voce se perceber

indefeso no bra? os dela

voce sabera que realmente

ama uma mulher

Quando voce amar uma mulher

diga-lhe que ela e realmente desejada

diga-lhe que ela e a unica

porque ela precisa de alguem



para lhe dizer

que isto vai durar para sempre

(que voces estar? o sempre juntos)

Ent? o diga-me

Voce ja

amou realmente uma mulher?



deixe-a abra? ar voce

ate voce saber

como ela precisa ser tocada

Voce deve respira-la

realmente sentir o seu sabor

ate que voce possa senti-la

em seu sangue

Quando voce puder ver

seus futuros filhos

nos olhos dela

voce sabera que realmente

ama uma mulher



Oh, voce deve dar-lhe confian? a

abra? a-la forte

um pouco de ternura

Voce deve trata-la bem

Ela estara esperando por voce

cuidando bem de voce

Voce deve realmente

amar a sua mulher


PHIL COLLINS lyrics - Girl (Why You Wanna Make Me Blue)



[Originally by The Temptations]



I love you, girl, with all my heart & soul

I can't understand why you treat me cold

Your every wish, girl, is my command

And that's why I can't seem to understand why

Girl, girl, girl, why you wanna make me blue?

I'm askin' you girl, girl, girl, why you wanna make me blue?



One day you say you love me too

The next day you tell me that we are through

My love for you is just a game

But each time we play, girl, my heart feels the pain

Girl, girl, girl, why you wanna make me blue?

Oh girl, girl, girl, why you wanna make me blue, so blue?



[Instrumental]



Woo Girl, girl, girl, why you wanna make me blue? (make me blue)

Oh girl, oh girl, oh girl, tell me why can't you be true? (can't be true)

The way you treat me, it just isn't fair

You make it so plain you just don't care

You have a ball around my time

Of sleepless nights I'm getting tired

Girl, girl, girl, why you wanna make me blue?

I'm askin' you girl, girl, girl, why you wanna make me blue, baby?

Girl, girl, girl, why you wanna make me blue?

Oh oh girl, girl, girl, why you wanna make me blue?

[repeat to fade]


FREE lyrics - Love You So



(Kirke / Rodgers)



And by the way before you go

I'd like to say

I love you so

If it's goodbye maybe for good

I will not cry

Maybe I should

And I

I love you so



Oh how this year has slipped away

We shed no tears

So why today

And all this time has made me feel

Love is no crime

And love is real

And I

Ooh! and I love you so

And I ooh I love you so



Remember me when you're far away

I'll remember you

No matter where I stay



And by the way before you go

I like to say

I love you so

And all this time has made me feel

Love is no crime and love is real

Maybe I should

And I

I ooh I love you

I ooh I love you so

Ooh I love you

I love you

I love you

I love you and I love you baby

More then words can say

I know you can't stay

I love you anyway

Baby I love you

I love you

I love you

I love you

I love you

I love you babe

I got to say

Anyway I love you baby


GREG BROWN lyrics - Lotsa Kindsa Money



I got a lotsa kindsa money in my billfold

Honey, I've been traveling so long

I got lotsa kindsa money in my billfold

And I got it all for a song



Who say who say

this wouldn't pay?



I got a lotsa kindsa money in my billfold

Green pink yellow and brown

I'm gonna have to get a wagon just to haul it

Back to my hometown



I'm gonna be a good little consumer

Gonna buy you silk and lace

Honey, you can go and tell that roomer

He'll have to find another place



I got a lotsa kindsa money in my jeans, babe

A pretty little pile of it

I don't even know what it means, babe

I give them some They give me some

Then I split



I got a new pair of boots, and bootlaces

You oughta see my new shoes-they're great

I got far more pairs in my suitcases

You can't buy shoes like these in the States

TOWNES VAN ZANDT lyrics - Mr. Mudd and Mr. Gold



(Townes Van Zandt)



Well the wicked king of clubs awoke

And it was to his queen turned

His lips were laughing as they spoke

His eyes like bullets burned



The sun's upon a gambling day

His queen smiled low and blissfully

Let's make some wretched fool to play

Plain it was she did agree



He send his deuce down into diamond

His four to hart, and his trey to spade

Three kings with their legions come

Preparations soon where made



They voted club the days commander

Gave him an army face and number

All but the outlaw jack of diamonds

And the aces in the sky



Well, he gave his sevens first instructions

Spirit me a game of stud

Stakes unscarred by limitation

Between a man named Gold and man named Mud



Club filled Gold with greedy vapors

Till his long, green eyes did glow

And Mudd was left with the sighs and trembles

Watching his hard earned money go



Flushes fell on Gold like water

Tens they paired and paired again

But the aces only flew through heaven

And the diamond jack called no man friend



Now, the Diamond Queen saw Muds ordeal

Began to think of her long lost son

Fell to her knees with a mother's mercy

And prayed to the angels every one



Now, the Diamond Queen, she prayed and prayed

And the Diamond Angel filled Muds hole

The wicked King of Clubs himself

Fell in face down in front of Gold



Now, three kings come to Clubs command

But the angels from the sky did ride

Three kings up on the streets of Gold

Three fireballs on the muddy side



The club queen heard her husband's call

But Lord, that Queen of Diamond's joy

When the outlaw in the heavenly hall

Turned out to be a wandering boy



Now, Mudd he checked and Gold bet all

And Mudd he raised and Gold did call

And the smile just melted on his face

When Mudd turned over that diamond ace



Now, here's what this story's told

If you feel like Mudd you'll end up Gold

If you feel like lost, you'll end up found

So amigo, lay them raises down

BRYAN FERRY lyrics - Walk A Mile In My Shoes



(South)



If I could be you and you could be me for just one hour

If we could find a way to get inside each other's minds

If you could see you, through my eyes, instead of your ego

I believe you'd be, surprised to see, that you'd been blind



Walk a mile in my shoes

Walk a mile in my shoes

And before you abuse

Criticise and accuse

Walk a mile in my shoes



Now the whole world you see around you is just a reflection

And the law of Karma, says you reap, just what you sow

So unless you've, lived a life of total perfection

You'd better be careful of every stone that you should throw



And yet we spend the day throwing stones at one another

'Cause I don't think or wear my hair the same way you do

Well I may be common people but i'm your brother

And when you strike out and try to hurt me it's a-hurtin you



There are people on reservations and out in the ghettos

And brother, there but for the grace of God go you and I

If I only, had the wings, of a little angel

Don't you know I'd fly, to the top of the mountain, and then I'd cry


RAY CHARLES lyrics - Thou Swell



Thou swell, thou witty, thou sweet, thou grand

Wouldst kiss me pretty? Wouldst hold my hand?

Both thine eyes are cute too, what they do to me

Hear me holler, I choose a sweet lollapaloosa in thee

I'd feel so rich in a hut for two

Two rooms and kitchen I'm sure would do

Give me just a plot of, not a lot of land

And thou swell, thou witty, thou grand


ROGER TAYLOR lyrics - Young Love



(Roger Tailor)



With a feeling so sure

With a feeling so real

When you know that it's right

When you know it's for real

You gotta stick to your guns show the world that you just don't care

When they're putting you down

With their knives in your back

When they're spreading it round

When they're on the attack

You gotta stand on your ground show the world that it's no cheap deal



This is your time

This is your life

This is no cage

This is your problem

This is your life

This is your age



Starbright - this is your night

Young love is what you feel

Young lovers fight

But young love is right

When your young love is real



You've seen it before

Like your mum and your dad

They're dying each day

Living a life that's so sad

You gotta stick to your guns

Grab a chance while the chances come



If you're frightened of dying

You ain't really alive

Every time that you meet

You try to kindle the fire

You gotta stand on your ground show the world that it's no cheap deal



This is your time

This is your life

This is no cage

This is your problem

This is your life

This is your age



Starbright - this is your night

Young love is what you feel

Young lovers fight

But young love is right

When your young love is real



Young love is right

Young love is real

Young love is what you feel

Young lovers fight

But young love is right

When your young love is real

Is real

Is real

Is real

U. D.O. lyrics - Hard To Be Honest



(Music: Dirkschneider/Kaufmann/Gianola - Words: Dirkschneider/Kaufmann)



I played the game - I broke the rules

The truth is always cruel

It's not for me to win or lose

This one will be on you

Sometimes it's hard to be tough

And play this way so rough

I give it straight - you know why

I want it all - I'll take it all

I don't know why - don't wanna hide

Don't want forever lie

Now it's time for all of us

So let's break free

No matter what you say

You know it's hard to be honest

It's hard not to lie

You know it's hard to be honest

It's hard not to lie

All hail the truth and damn the lies

There's so much we can do

Now it's on you to deal the cards

The joker breaks the rules

So take a look at what you see

The mirror never lies

The time has come to say farewell

So leave it all behind you all



[Bridge]



[Chorus]



No matter how - you found it out

It's time to give the truth

I've seen it all - in black or white

The hardest thing to do



[Bridge]



[Chorus]


BON JOVI lyrics - The Hardest Part Is The Night



In the heat of the street of the city

A young boy hides the pain

And he walks so tall, trying to hang on

But he knows he's going down again

I know he's going down...



Darkness fades he's the prince of his city

In a place where they all know your name

You can see in their eyes life so paralyzed.

Your just a pawn in a losin' game

You lose at life it ain't no game



[Chorus:]

Hear their cries

The hardest part is the night

(In the night, hear their cries, in the night)

Stay alive

The hardest part is the night, it's the night, it's the night...



All alone in a place where the lonely

They all have to walk through the rain

And they dance on the edge where you only

Only pray that it has to end

That the night ain't no friend



[Chorus]



These four walls they could tell you some stories

About lying and dying and fame

There's a price that you pay for the glory

About losing and choosing and pain.



[Chorus]


THE SMITHS lyrics - Hand In Glove



Hand in glove

the sun shines out of our behinds



No it's NOT like any other love

this one's different

because it's us!



Hand in glove

we can go wherever we please

and everything depends upon

how near you stand to me



And if the people stare

then, the people stare

oh I really don't know

and I really don't care



Hand in glove

the Good People laugh



Yes, we may be hidden by "rags"

but we have something they'll never have



Hand in glove

the sun shines out of our behinds



Yes, we may be hidden by "rags"

but we have something they'll never have



And if the people stare

then, the people stare

oh I really don't know

and I really don't care



So hand in glove I stake my claim

I'll fight to the last breath



If they dare touch a hair on your head

I'll fight to the last breath



The good life is out there somewhere

so stay on my arm, you little charmer



But I know my luck too well

yes, I know my luck too well

and I'll probably never see you again

I'll probably never see you again

I'll probably never see you again


JOE COCKER lyrics - Naked Without You



(B. Steinberger/R. Nowels/A. Roachford)



What have I done I've broke your heart

Now there's no sun just cold and dark

Without your smile I can't laugh

Without you baby I'm just a half

I didn't know what I had

I didn't know I'd feel this sad

But I feel



Naked without you

I feel naked without you

I feel naked without you



What have I done I've broke a vow

But I'm the one who's crying now

Without your touch I can feel

Without your forgiveness I can't heal

No body else can take your place

and if I don't see your angel face



Girl I feel naked without you

I'm still crazy about you

I feel naked without you



I hurt the one that really loved me

Don't look at me I feel ugly

Naked without you



I'm so tired that I can't sleep

I threw away a love so deep



I feel naked without you

I feel naked without you

Naked without you

I feel naked without you in my head

I feel naked without you in my bed

Naked without you hey baby

Naked without you and I feel

Naked without you
