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
Just waits for you to hurt her
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.
No, no, no.
You'd better get up,
Now do you understand?
And raise you hand.
Hey, hey, hey.
I said raise your hand.
You know I'm standin' around, yes I am.
Want to give you all my love.
Oh, honey, won't you come on and open up,
I said, open up in your heart.

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

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
