KING CRIMSON lyrics - Neurotica

(Belew/King Crimson)



Good morning, it's 3am in this great roaring

city full of garbage eaters ravaging parking

spots beneath my plaza window I see cheetah in their

tight skins and tired heels all-night hippo in

the diner crossing the street swarthy heards of young

impala flambastic gibbon even a struggling monza

and over there that brilliant head ornament on that

Japanese macaque but look closely at the hammerhead hand

in hand with the mandrill, it's a sight you're

unlikely to see anywhere else on the planet...



the stench and noise, yes, yes, the howler's

resonating repertoire is not too bad when mixed with

the more musical twern of the tropical warbler but the

impatient taxi blare the squawking elderly ibis and

the glass-eye snapper hawking papers I can certainly

live without also be cautious of the poisonous

boomslang laughter social droppings of the fruit bat

and purple queen fish and who's that babbler conversing

with a magazine stand? evidently he's getting a good

reply...



arrive in neurotica

through neon heat disease

I swear at the swarming heards

I sweat the foul terrain

I rove the moving scenery

I have no fin

no wing no stinger

no claw no camouflage

I have no more to say...



Say...isn't that an elephant fish on the corner over

there look at that blush baby mud puppy noolbenger

rhinoderma marmoset spring peeper shingleback skink

siren skate starling sun-gazer spoonbill and suckers,

they seem to be everywhere, well it's a live revue

random animal parts now playing nightly right here in neurotica...

so long...

JIMMY BUFFETT lyrics - Strange Bird

Half fast and seldom seen

He don't blip the radar screen

On the deck below the dune

Under the commander's moon

Strange bird from a different nest

Flying low not like all the rest

God only knows where the strange

bird goes when he's flyin'

Everybody's trying to find him

But they don't know where to start

The ornithologist lady says that he has wings on his heart



Strange bird from a different nest

Flying low not like all the rest

If you can't catch him, you can't claim him

If you can't see him you can't name him

Stay on the ground or he will shoot you down

Wings on his heart, he's a strange bird



His only home is in the skies

Slicing through the cloudy pie

Above the whole Caribbean

Moves the swift amphibian



Strange bird from a different nest

Flying low not like all the rest

If you can't catch him, you can't claim him

If you can't see him you can't name him

Stay on the ground or he will shoot you down

Wings on his heart, he's a strange bird

Watch out girl, he's a strange bird



But he's in love with the lady of the waters

And she lives somewhere up around Cheauxvan

He's gonna circle high above her runway of love

Until she gives him her permission to land



Strange bird from a different nest

flying low not like all the rest

If you can't catch him, you can't claim him

If you can't see him you can't name him

Stay on the ground or he will shoot you down

If you can't see him you can't claim him

If you can't see him, you can't name him

Stay on the ground or he will shoot you down

Wings on his heart, he's a strange bird



Strange bird flying low

Cross the Gulf of Mexico

Strange bird, not like all the rest

Wath out girl, he's a strange bird

Shoot you down, he's a strange bird

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a strange bird

ERIC CLAPTON lyrics - Innocent Times

(Eric Clapton and Marcy Levy)



I was a child born so free;

It seems that time has put age on me.

And when I grow old, will I once again find

All of those sweet, innocent times?



I was a child born without fear;

It seems that time has placed me here.

With no freedom to laugh, there's more reason to cry.

I really miss those innocent times.



I used to feel joy in my soul,

But now my sorrow has taken control.

As I look around I pray, Lord be kind;

Just one more taste of those innocent times.



As I look around I pray, Lord be kind;

Just one more taste of those innocent times,

Just one more taste of those innocent times.

LOBO lyrics - Then I Met You

(Kent "Lobo" LaVoie)



Well I never saw a sunset

Or a tree

And I never heard a crow caw

Just for me

I was like a wheel stuck in a rut

Until I gave a chimpanzee a nut

I never saw a flower red and bright

I never saw the stars come out at night

Never liked Thanksgiving or Christmas

Time or my mind

Then I met you

Then I met you



Well I never saw the rain

Fall from the sky

And I never heard a cloud

Talk in my eye

I never saw the old man in the moon

And I've always hated Sunday afternoon

I never knew a baby had to touch

Because her world is not that much

I never really gave this life a chance at all

Then I met you

Then I met you

Thank god I met you

JOHN LEE HOOKER lyrics - It Hurts Me So

(John Lee Hooker / Bernard Besman)



That man don't love you, he told me so

He's only doin' that, baby, to break up your home



When things go wrong, so wrong with you,

It hurts me so, it hurts me so



That man don't love you, no he don't

He's only jivin' you little girl, lovin' the girl next door



When things go wrong, so wrong with you,

It hurts me so, it hurts me so Yeah!.



You know you don't love him, you know you don't

Go ahead and leave me baby, don't make me cry



When things go wrong, so wrong with you,

It hurts me so, it hurts me so



That man don't love you, he told me so

Only jivin' you, baby, breaking up your home



When things go wrong, so wrong with you,

It hurts me so, it hurts me so



When things go wrong, so wrong with you,

It hurts me so, it hurts me so



So long, baby, I've got to go

Because you don't love me now, darlin', I know you don't



When things go wrong, so wrong with you,

It hurts me so, it hurts me so

CARLY SIMON lyrics - In The Still Of The Night

In the still of the night

I-I held you, held you tight

'Cause I love, love you so

Promise I'll never let you go

In the still of the night (in the still of the night)



I remember (I remember) that night in May (I remember)

The stars (I remember) were bright a-a-bo-o-o-ove (I remember)

I'll hope (I remember) and I'll pray (I remember)

To keep.. your prec..ious lo-o-o-o-o-ove



Well before the li-ight

Hold me again

With all of your might

In the still of the night (in the still of the night)



So before the li-ight

Hold me again

With all of your might

In the still of the night (in the still of the night)



In the still of the night

DOLLY PARTON lyrics - In The Good Old Days (When Times Were Bad)

We'd get up before sun-up to get the work done up

We'd work in the fields till the sun had gone down

We've stood and we've cried as we have bristly watched

A hailstorm a' beatin' our crops to the ground

We've gone to bed hungry many nights in the past

In the good old days when times were bad



No amount of money could buy from me

The memories that I have of then

No amount of money could pay me

To go back and live through it again



I've seen daddy's hands break open and bleed

And I've seen him work till he's stiff as a board

An' I've seen momma layin' in suffer and sickness

In need of a doctor we couldn't afford

Anything at all was more than we had

In the good old days when times were bad



We've got up before and found ice on the floor

Where the wind would blow snow through the cracks in the wall

And I couldn't enjoy then, havin' a boyfriend

I had nothing decent to wear at all

So I long for a love that I never had

In the good old days when times were bad



No amount of money could buy from me

The memories that I have of then

No amount of money could pay me

To go back and live through it again



In the good old days when times were bad

In the good old days when times were bad

NAZARETH lyrics - I Will Not Be Led

You have your rules and regulations,

You say his love is my salvation

Then talk of faith and segregation,

You say that I must wait,

He will communicate,

I will not join your congregation.



You force me into situations,

Preach bad of sin and fornication,

Forget your sworded celebration,

My heart fills up with rage

Who are you to gauge,

The purpose of my world's creation.



I cannot see the light your seeing,

I have my own thoughts to believe in,

I will not heed the words your hearing,

I will not be accused, my liberty abused,

You chose the cross that you are bearing.



Y want me to believe the word's you read

But I don't believe in what your good book says,

I just believe that when I'm dead, I'm dead.

You say I must repent,

Bow down and show respect,

I am a man and I will not be led.

METALLICA lyrics - No Remorse

(James Hetfield / Lars Ulrich)



No mercy for what we are doing

No thought to even what we have done

We don't need to feel the sorrow

No remorse for the helpless one



War without end

No remorse No repent

We don't care what it meant

Another day Another death

Another sorrow Another breath

No remorse No repent

We don't care what it meant

Another day Another death

Another sorrow Another breath



Blood feeds the war machine

as it eats its way across the land

We don't need the feel the sorrow

No remorse is the one command



War without end

No remorse No repent

We don't care what it meant

Another day Another death

Another sorrow Another breath

No remorse No repent

We don't care what it meant

Another day Another death

Another sorrow Another breath



Only the strong survive

No one to save the weaker race

We are ready to kill all comers

Like a loaded gun right at your face



War without end

No remorse No repent

We don't care what it meant

Another day Another death

Another sorrow Another breath

No remorse No repent

We don't care what it meant

Another day Another death

Another sorrow Another breath



Attack

Bullets are flying

People are dying

with madness surrounding all hell's breaking loose

Soldiers are hounding

Bodies are mounting

cannons are shouting to take their abuse

With war machines going

Blood starts to flowing

No mercy given to anyone hear

The furious fighting

Swords are like lighting

It all becomes frightening to you

Know death is near

No remorse

IGGY POP lyrics - Baby, It Can't Fall

(Iggy Pop/David Bowie)



You have loved me with energy

Backed up with hard work and guts

We inhabit eternity

We fly forever in space



The way we run together

The way we breeze the miles

We put our heads together

And laughingly we smile



It can't fall

It can't fall

Baby, it can't fall

Death means nothing at all



It can't fall

It can't fall

Baby, it can't fall

Our love will outlive this earth



Words have so many meanings

Sometimes mean nothing at all

Sometimes I feel so simple

I don't know what's coming next



We have swum in the ocean

And that was really alright

I'm not a big man

It's hard to face the world



It can't fall

It can't fall

Baby, it can't fall



That would nail me to the wall



It can't fall

It can't fall

Baby it can't fall

Our love will outlive this earth



It can't fall

COWBOY JUNKIES lyrics - Come Calling (His Song)

The stillness here,

Like what he sometimes finds inside her,

Hits so hard it can steal your breath forever

He sometimes wonders

Is the sum of their lives together

Him on the floor and her lost to a mind in tatters



These days he's drinking for the pleasure of falling

And he's falling for the pleasure of pretending

That she's sitting by the window waiting

For him to come calling



If I could fix me up a week of twilight hours

We'd sit on the point

And watch the sun continually flounder

Bathed in gold we'd plug into some kind of power

And connect with those days

Back before all of this went sour



'Cause I'm drinking for the pleasure of falling

And I'm falling for the pleasure of pretending

That you're sitting by the window waiting

For me to come calling



Odd how the darkness always makes us whisper

And with the last of the sun

You can feel the approach of the winter

Now is the time of each day

That I Desperately miss her

I suppose I will learn how to live my life without her



So you're drinking for the pleasure of falling

And you're falling for the pleasure of pretending

That I'm sitting by the window waiting

For you to come calling

SIMPLE MINDS lyrics - Today I Died Again

The human drum

Beats a rhythm of life

The clothes he wears

Date back to the war

He talks alot

Often to himself

She don't say much

Just cuts his hair

She can't remember

Before the heat

He can't remember

His wife's christian name

Paint me a picture

Towers in sand

America can fall



Today I died again

I died again

I died today

Today I died again

I died again

I died today



Back to a year

Back to a youth

Of men in church and drug cabarets

Is this the age

Of empires and dance

Oh what a world

Oh what a world

She can't remember

Before this heat

He can't remember

His wife's christian name

Paint me a picture

Bodies in sand

Presidents can fall



Today I died again

I died again

I died today

Today I died again

I died again

I died today

JIMMY REED lyrics - Big Boss Man

(Al Smith / Willie Dixon)



Big boss man, can't you hear me when I call

Big boss man, can't you hear me when I call

Well, you ain't so big, you're just tall, that's all



Got me working, boss man, working 'round the clock

I want me a drink of water, but you won't let Jimmy stop

Big boss man, can't you hear me when I call?

Well, you ain't so big, you just tall, that's all



Well, I'm gonna get me a bossman, one gonna treat me right

Work hard in the day time, rest easy at night

Big boss man, can't you hear me when I call?

Well, you ain't so big, you're just tall, that's all

THE PRETENDERS lyrics - Never Do That

Let me stay

One more day

It would mean so much to me

I won't make a sound

I'll just hang around

I'll sit where the last one sat

But oh no

I'd never do that



Take my mouth as far as you can see

It stretches father than I care to think

Put me out of my misery

If I could keep it shut

I wouldn't be in this rut

With less chance than a laboratory rat

Oh no

I'd never do that



You're a master of illusion

You say you do - but you don't

You think I will - I know I won't





When I see you sitting there

It sends a shock right through me

I never thought an ordinary chair

Could have such poetry

I don't deserve your time

I haven't got the tact

I live above my means in fact

Oh no

I'd never do that



I'd never do that

I'd never do that

I'd never do that

SHOCKING BLUE lyrics - Good Times

(Harry Vanda-George Young)



Baby, baby, you're on my mind,

My folks are going and the place will be mine.

Baby, babe, I wanna be with you,

And this is what I'm gonna do,

I wanna put a call to you now.



Gonna have a good time tonight,

Rock'n'roll music gonna play all night.

Come on baby, it won't take long,

Only take a minute just to sing my song.



Bonnie Moronie is gonna be with Jim,

Yeah, Long Tall Sally's gonna be with Slim.

I bet Short Fat Fannie's gonna be there too,

And this is what I'm gonna do,

I wanna put a call to you now.



Gonna have a good time tonight,

Rock'n'roll music gonna play all night.

Come on baby, it won't take long,

Only take a minute just to sing my song.



Bonnie Moronie is gonna be with Jim,

Yeah, Long Tall Sally's gonna be with Slim.

I bet Short Fat Fannie's gonna be there too,

And this is what I'm gonna do,

I wanna put a call to you now.



Gonna have a good time tonight,

Rock'n'roll music gonna play all night.

Come on baby, it won't take long,

Only take a minute just to sing my song.



Gonna have a good time tonight,

Rock'n'roll music gonna play all night.

Come on baby, it won't take long,

Only take a minute just to sing my song.



Gonna have a good time tonight,

Rock'n'roll music gonna play all night.

Come on baby, it won't take long,

Only take a minute just to sing my song.



Gonna have a good time tonight,

Rock'n'roll music gonna play all night.

Come on baby, it won't take long,

Only take a minute just to sing my song.



Gonna have a good time tonight,

Rock'n'roll music gonna play all night.

Come on baby...

BOB DYLAN lyrics - Shot Of Love

I need a shot of love, I need a shot of love.



Don't need a shot of parish to kill my disease

Don't need a shot of turpentine, only bring me to my knees

Don't need a shot of codeine to help me to repent

Don't need a shot of whiskey, help me be president.



I need a shot of love, I need a shot of love.



Doctor, can you hear me? I need some Medicaid

I seen the kingdoms of the world and it's making me feel afraid

What I got ain't painful, it's just bound to kill me dead

Like the men that followed Jesus when they put a price upon his head.



I need a shot of love, I need a shot of love.



I don't need no alibi when I'm spending time with you

I've heard all of them rumors you have heard them too

Don't show me no picture show or give me no book to read

It don't satisfy the hurt inside nor the habit that it feeds.



I need a shot of love, I need a shot of love.



Why would I want to take your life

You've only murdered my father, raped his wife

Tattooed my babies with a poison pen

Mocked my God, humiliated my friends.



I need a shot of love, I need a shot of love.



Don't wanna be with nobody tonight

Veronica is not here, Mavis just ain't right

There's a man that hates me and he's swift, smooth and near

Am I supposed to set back and wait until he's here?



I need a shot of love, I need a shot of love.



What makes the wind wanna blow tonight?

Don't even feel like crossing the street and my car ain't acting right

Called home, everybody seemed to have moved away

My conscience is beginning to bother me today.



I need a shot of love, I need a shot of love.

I need a shot of love, I need a shot of love.

If you're a doctor, I need a shot of love.

CAT STEVENS lyrics - Where Do The Children Play

Well I think it's fine, building jumbo planes.

Or taking a ride on a cosmic train.

Switch on summer from a slot machine.

Get what you want to if you want, 'cause you can get anything.



I know we've come a long way,

We're changing day to day,

But tell me, where do the children play?



Well you roll on roads over fresh green grass.

For your lorryloads pumping petrol gas.

And you make them long, and you make them tough.

But they just go on and on, and it seems you can't get off.



Oh, I know we've come a long way,

We're changing day to day,

But tell me, where do the children play?



When you crack the sky, scrapers fill the air.

Will you keep on building higher

'til there's no more room up there?

Will you make us laugh, will you make us cry?

Will you tell us when to live, will you tell us when to die?



I know we've come a long way,

We're changing day to day,

But tell me, where do the children play?

GLORIA ESTEFAN lyrics - Mama Yo Can't Go

It's been a real long time since last I've seen it.

I'm sadly curious what's going down that way.

Within my heart and soul I'll always be there.

But there's no way I can go back, I just can't go.



Mama yo no can't go,

Mama yo no can't go, no, no



Sometimes I can't believe how much you miss it.

I'm trying to understand, mama, but I just don't know.

What will you find back there that you ain't got here

I won't go back, I'll tell you now, I just can't go.



I can't go, I can't go

Mama yo no can't go

I can't go, I can't go

Mama yo no can't go, no, no



I'm into liberty, I'm into freedom,

And God I know someday they will overcome.

Within my heart and soul I'll always be there.

But there's no way I can go back, I just can't go.





I can't go, I can't go

Mama yo no can't go

I can't go, I can't go

Mama yo no can't go, no, no



No matter what you do or what you say

I ain't going anyway, no.

I told you once, I'll tell you twice again,

Mama yo no just can't win no, no.



It's been a real long time since last I've seen it.

I'm sadly curious what's going down that way.

Within my heart and soul I'll always be there.

But there's no way I can go back, I just can't go.



I can't go, I can't go

Mama yo no can't go

I can't go, I can't go

Mama yo no can't go, no, no

THE ALAN PARSONS PROJECT lyrics - The Turn of a Friendly Card. Part 2

There are unsmiling faces in fetters and chains

On a wheel in perpetual motion

Who belong to all races and answer all names

With no show of an outward emotion



And they think it will make their lives easier

But the doorway before them is barred

And the game never ends when your whole world depends

On the turn of a friendly card

No the game never ends when your whole world depends

On the turn of a friendly card

VAN MORRISON lyrics - And It Stoned Me

Half a mile from the county fair

And the rain keep pourin' down

Me and Billy standin' there

With a silver half a crown

Hands are full of a fishin' rod

And the tackle on our backs

We just stood there gettin' wet

With our backs against the fence



Oh, the water

Oh, the water

Oh, the water

Hope it don't rain all day



[Chorus:]

And it stoned me to my soul

Stoned me just like Jelly Roll

And it stoned me

And it stoned me to my soul

Stoned me just like goin' home

And it stoned me



Then the rain let up and the sun came up

And we were gettin' dry

Almost let a pick-up truck nearly pass us by

So we jumped right in and the driver grinned

And he dropped us up the road

We looked at the swim and we jumped right in

Not to mention fishing poles



Oh, the water

Oh, the water

Oh, the water

Let it run all over me



[Chorus]



On the way back home we sang a song

But our throats were getting dry

Then we saw the man from across the road

With the sunshine in his eyes

Well he lived all alone in his own little home

With a great big gallon jar

There were bottles too, one for me and you

And he said Hey! There you are



Oh, the water

Oh, the water

Oh, the water

Get it myself from the mountain stream



[Chorus]

JERRY LEE LEWIS lyrics - Trouble In Mind

(Richard M Jones)



[Chorus:]

I'm troubled in mind, I'm blue

But I won't be blue always

You know the sun gonna shine

On my back door some day



I'm going down to the river

Take my old rockin' chair

If the blues don't take me

Gonna rock away from here



[Chorus]



I'm gonna lay my head

On some lonesome railroad line

And let the two nineteen

Satisfy my troubled mind



[Chorus]



You know the sun gonna shine

In my backdoor some day

BAD RELIGION lyrics - Lookin' In

suddenly, it came to me

a potent dosage of reality

i saw myself in the broad daylight

and it made me think

about life

im not the kinda guy

who nods his head

with closed eyes

i scoff at labels

i defy censuses

and despise group mentality

all along i through

that this was only human

but i know now that

i'm in the minority

i'm lookin' in

now i think in relation to

my fellow man

and what strives to do we fail to see

theres no compromise

our evolution

is our demise

one day you may find

that you are also one of me

a micrososm

of the human race

observing those around us

desiring to belong

behing the guise of salvation

we suffer along the way

we're lookin' in

BUDDY & JULIE MILLER lyrics - Long Time

Cards and letters meant to bring cheer

Now bring me sorrow, now bring such tears

The words fell off the paper

So I'm gonna sweep away each line

But it's gonna take a long, long time



Streetlight standin' alone all night in the rain

Shinin' for no one, shinin' all in vain

I'm gonna stop wasting my love like this because it's a crime

But it's gonna take a long, long time



Call the doctor when your body hurts

But when the pain is in your soul, hey man nothin' works



Smoke from a cigarette coming underneath my door

Just like your memory sneakin' up on me some more

I'm gonna be all right and leave this heartache behind

But it's gonna take a long, long time



Lipstick on a glass

Somebody wants to look pretty

And wants to forget the past

Someday these tangled thoughts are gonna all unwind

But it's gonna take a long, long time

MEGADETH lyrics - Paranoid

Finished with my woman 'cause she couldn't help me with my mind

people think I'm insane because I am frowning all the time

All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy

Think I'll lose my mind if I don't find something to pacify



Can you help me occupy my brain?

Oh yeah



I need someone to show me the things in life that I can't find

I can't see the things that make true happiness, I must be blind



Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry

Happiness I cannot feel and love to me us so unreal



And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state

I tell you to enjoy life I wish I could but it's too late

WOODY GUTHRIE lyrics - Ingrid Bergman

Ingrid Bergman, Ingrid Bergman,

Let's go make a picture

On the island of Stromboli, Ingrid Bergman



Ingrid Bergman, you're so perty,

You'd make any mountain quiver

You'd make my fire fly from the crater

Ingrid Bergman



This old mountain it's been waiting

All ist life for you to work it

For your hand to touch the hardrock,

Ingrid Bergman, Ingrid Bergman



If you'll walk across my camera,

I will flash the world your story,

I will pay you more than money, Ingrid Bergman



Not by pennies dimes nor quarters,

But with happy sons and daughters,

And they'll sing around Stromboli,

Ingrid Bergman

DIANA ROSS lyrics - One Shining Moment

(Vaneese Thomas)



Tell me who, what, when,

Where did it start?

Tell me when, where

How did you get in my heart?

I feel your love washing over me

In waves of emotion so strong

I want to say while I've got the chance

In the words of this song



You're my one shining moment

You are all my dreams come true

Honey, you're my one shining moment

And if I never have another

I'm glad that I've known you



You fill up for me all the empty spaces

All the pain I ever felt, you've erased it

Is it any wonder? No way

That I'm growing fonder every day

There's a freedom that I never knew

and it's all because of you, honey



You're my one shining moment

You are all my dreams come true

Honey, you're my one shining moment

And if I never have another

I'm glad that I've known you



I wake up with you on my mind

You light up my day

There is nothing better I can find

Oh, my love, I'm so proud

That I can say, hey

All my dreams wrapped

Into one under the sun, honey



Honey, you're my one shining moment

And if I never have another

I'm glad that I've known you

If I never have another

I'm glad that I've known you



Shining moment

AEROSMITH lyrics - Livin' On The Edge

There's somethin' wrong with the world today

I don't know what it is

Something's wrong with our eyes



We're seein' things in a different way

And God knows it ain't his

It shore ain't no surprise



Livin' on the edge

Livin' on the edge

Livin' on the edge

Livin' on the edge



There's somethin' wrong with the world today

The light bulb's gettin dim

There's meltdown in the sky



If you can judge a wise man

By the color of his skin

Then mister you're a better man than I



[Chorus:]

Livin' on the edge

You can't help yourself from fallin'

Livin' on the edge

You can't help yourself at all

Livin' on the edge

You can't stop yourself from fallin'

Livin' on the edge



Tell me what you think about your sit-u-a-tion

Complication - aggravation

Is getting to you



If chicken little tells you that the sky is fallin'

Even if it wasn't would you still come crawlin'

Back again

I bet you would my friend

Again & again & again & again & again



Tell me what you think about your sit-u-a-tion

Complication - aggravation

Is getting to you



If chicken little tells you that the sky is fallin'

Even if it was would you still come crawlin'

Back again

I bet you would my friend

Again & again & again & again



Something right with the world today

And everybody knows it's wrong

But we can tell 'em no or we could let it go

But I'd would rather be a hanging on

[Chorus]



Livin' on the edge

Livin' on the edge

Livin' on the edge

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]



Livin' on the edge

You can't help yourself

You can't help yourself

Livin' on the edge

You can't help yourself at all

Livin' on the edge

You can't help yourself

You can't help yourself

Livin' on the edge

You can't help yourself

You can't help yourself

Livin' on the edge

You can't help yourself from fallin'

ELLA FITZGERALD lyrics - These Foolish Things (Remind Me Of You)

A cigarette that bares a lipstick's traces

An airline ticket to romantic places

And still my heart has wings

These foolish things remind me of you.

A tinkling piano in the next apartment

Those stumblin'words That told you what my heart meant

A fairground's painted swings

These foolish things

remind me of you.

You came,

You saw,

You conquered me

When you did that to me

I knew somehow this had to be

The winds of March That made my heart a dancer

A telephone that rings But who's to answer

Oh, how the ghost of you clings

These foolish things

Remind me of you

First daffodils

And long excited cables

And candle lights

A little corner table

And still my heart has wings

These foolish things remind me of you

The park at evening

When the bell has sounded

The pier in France

With all the gulls around it

The beauty that is spring

These foolish things

Remind me of you

How strange,

How sweet,

To find you still,

These things are dear to me

They seem to bring you near to me

The sigh of midnight trains

At empty stations

Silk stockings thrown aside

Dance invitations

Oh how the ghost of you clings

These foolish things

Remind me of you

Gardenia perfume

Lingering on a pillow

Wild strawberries

Only seven francs a kilo

And still my heart has wings,

These foolish things,

Remind me of you

The smile of Garbo

And the scent of roses

The waiters whistling

As the last bar closes

The song that Crosby sings

These foolish things

Remind me of you

How strange

How sweet

To find you still

These things are dear to me

They seem to bring you near to me

The scent of smoldering leaves

The wail of steamers

Two lovers on the street

Who walk like dreamers

Oh how the ghost of you clings

These foolish things

Remind me of you.

BONEY M lyrics - Two Of Us

Two of us riding nowhere

Spending someones

Hard earned pay

You and me Sunday driving

Not arriving on our way back home

we're on our way home

we're on our way home

we're going home



Two of us sending postcards

Writing letters on my wall

You and me burning matches

Lifting latches on our way back home

we're on our way home

we're on our way home

we're going home



You and I have memories

Longer than the road

That stretches out of here



Two of us wearing raincoats

Standing solo in the sun

You and me chasing paper

Getting nowhere on our way back home

we're on our way home

we're on our way home

we're going home



You and I have memories

Longer than the road

That stretches out of here



Two of us riding nowhere

Spending someones

Hard earned pay

You and me Sunday driving

Not arriving on our way back home

we're on our way home

we're on our way home

we're going home

ELTON JOHN lyrics - Shoot Down The Moon

Oh no I don't want it

You can take it all

I'll put my money where my mouth is

Put your suitcase in the hall



Oh you robbed me blind

Of what little hope remained

You put a gun to my head

A bullet through my brain



You can't shoot down the moon

Some things never change

We can build a bridge between us

But the empty space remains



You can't shoot down the moon

Some things never change

We can build a bridge between us

But the empty space remains



Just as long as you're around

We live on borrowed time

I'll put my money where my mouth is

You're guilty at the scene of the crime



I never say more than I need

The mystery runs deep

The dangers buried below

The secrets that you keep

OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN lyrics - Shaking You

(Gordon/Foster/Keane)



Why do I have to care for you?

When I should have known to stay away

Why was I there for you?



I don't know how I lost my touch

I never believed that I could ever want

Somebody's love so much



Time can shake me loose from the blues

But who would know I'd be this slow shaking you



I don't know what I'm looking for

I just let the arrows go and hope I find what I am shooting for



So don't say that you'll be there for me

If you don't care for me, I'll be gone

'Cause I don't have the strength to be this strong

Who knew that I'd take so long shaking you



Now I'm waiting to hit the ground

I'm painting my love for you in corners I know how to get around



Time can shake me loose from the blues

But who would know I'd be this slow shaking you



I don't know what I'm looking for

I just let the arrows go and hope I find what I am shooting for

MICHAEL MCDONALD lyrics - One Gift

(McDonald/Harris/Ingram)



So many will worry

On this christmas day

But many just goes so far anyway

When the shopping is over

It's all said and done

The story's the same for everyone

'cause one gift

Already given that will stand the test of time

Love and mercy

Sweet forgiveness

A gift from god the father to all mankind



Hallelujah

[Repeat]



Christmas is special

The time that we share

The joy and the music fill the air

But let us remember

The message is clear

He sent us a savior to draw us near

With one love

From the beginning

That will span the rest of time

A child is born to a world that lies waiting

To prove our father's love for all mankind



Hallelujah

[Repeat]



This good news

The greatest gift we share

So let us have no fear

As we sing hallelujah



'cause one gift

Already given

That will stand the test of time



Love and mercy

Sweet forgiveness

A gift from god the father to all mankind



Hallelujah

[Repeat]

DEEP PURPLE lyrics - Too Much Is Not Enough

(Turner, Held, Greenwood)



You're so extreme, you're super heavy

You're one step over the line

Not what you seem, don't try and tell me

I know what's really on your mind



Once you get started you're out of control

Don't play that sweet and innocent with me girl

I know you know you want to rock and roll

But I got just what you need



I, I want to feel your love

Too much is not enough

I, I want to feel your touch

Too much is not enough



You've got it bad, you're hopelessly addicted

You're always searching for the cure

Love is the crime, you stand convicted

You keep on coming back for more

Come on admit it, you're over the top



That song and dance won't work with me girl

You just can't quit it, don't know when to stop

But I got the remedy



I, I want to feel your love

Too much is not enough

I, I want to feel your touch

Too much is not enough



Baby stop wasting time

And let me know that you're mine

I need to feel your embrace

How much can I take

ELVIS PRESLEY lyrics - How Great Thou Art

(Stuart Hine)



Oh Lord my God when I in awesome wonder

Consider all the worlds thy hands have made

I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder

Thy power throughout the universe displayed

When Christ shall come

With shout of acclamation

To take me home

What joy shall fill my heart

Then I shall bow in humble adoration

And there proclaim my God how great thou art

Then sings my soul my savior God to thee

How great thou art

How great thou art

Then sings my soul my savior God to thee

How great thou art how great thou art

LEONARD COHEN lyrics - To A Teacher

(Leonard Cohen)



[Dedicated to A. M. Klein (1909-1972)]



Hurt once and for all into silence.

A long pain ending without a song to prove it.

Who could stand beside you so close to Eden,

When you glinted in every eye the held-high

razor, shivering every ram and son?

And now the silent loony bin, where

The shadows live in the rafters like

Day-weary bats,

Until the turning mind, a radar signal,

lures them to exaggerate

Mountain-size on the white stone wall

Your tiny limp.

How can I leave you in such a house?

Are there no more saints and wizards

to praise their ways with pupils,

No more evil to stun with the slap

of a wet red tongue?

Did you confuse the Messiah in a mirror

and rest because he had finally come?

Let me cry Help beside you, Teacher.

I have entered under this dark roof

As fearlessly as an honoured son

Enters his father's house.

ROGER TAYLOR lyrics - London Town C'mon Down

(Roger Taylor)



[Starts with spoken excerpt from 'LONDON FANTASY" by Mervyn Peake]

We got it down, we got it down

We got it down, in London Town



Dig this and dig that

Dig the thin and dig the fat

Dig the boys and dig the girls

Dig the straights and dig the curls

Dig the future dig the past

Dig the audience and cast

Dig the sights dig the sounds

Yeah dig this London town

C'mon down

To London Town



C'mon down to London Town



Electric light surrounding me

Feel the electricity

Feeling up, getting higher

Feed on my electric fire

If you wanna get up, you gotta go down

Get your fix on London Town

So c'mon down, to London Tawn

C'mon down

To London town

C'mon down to London Town

C'mon down to London Town

C'mon down

ASIA lyrics - Too Late

(Wetton/Downes/Palmer)



I say, no way

You've gone and stepped across that fine line

I cried, you lied

I tried, maybe a thousand times before

I can't take no more



[Chorus:]

Too late

You let the sun go down

Too late

You changed direction

Too late

For you to turn around

We tried everything



Move on, so long

Two side to every story

You told, good nights

bad days, time to go out separate ways

I can't say no more



[Chorus x2]

TOM WAITS lyrics - Poor Little Lamb

(Waits/Brennan)



Poor little lamb now his fleece is all cold

Wakes up in the morning alone

Poor little lamb knows what's coming

Life is an empty cup



Poor little lamb watch your shoulder

Coyote's waiting out there

Nobody will get any older

If we don't find a way out of here



So let's go on a bummer this summer

Where we won't have to be afraid

The world will be on a hummer, boys

And we'll laugh and we'll drink lemonade

SONNY BOY WILLIAMSON II lyrics - Bring It On Home

(Willie Dixon)



Baby, baby,

I'm gonna bring it on home to you



I done bought my ticket, I got my load

Conductor done hollered, "All, aboard"

Take my seat and ride way back,

And watch this train move down the track



Baby, baby,

I'm gonna bring it on home to you



I think about the good times I once have had

Soul got happy now, my heart got glad

I think about the way you love me too

You can bet your life, I'm comin home to you



I'm goin home,

I'm gonna bring it on home, now

I'm gonna bring it on home, now

I'm gonna bring it on home, now

Gonna bring it on home,

Bring it on home to you

ELVIS PRESLEY lyrics - Witchcraft

(Bartholomew - King)



Don't do that, please stop it

Please stop it now

You know I can't take it

Please stop it now



My head is spinning a spell on me now

My head is spinning around and around

My head is spinning around and around

Your witchcraft has got me

Keep going down and down



Let me forget her, don't mention her name

You know it brings back that old burning flame

It hurts to know that she doesn't feel the same



I can't go on since she left me alone

My one desire now is to cry, now to cry

She might come back one day by and by and by

BARBRA STREISAND lyrics - Ding-Dong! The Witch Is Dead!

[Barbra:]

Once there was a wicked witch

In the lovely land of OZ

And a wickeder, wickeder,

Wickeder witch that never, ever was

She filled the folks in Munchkin Land

With terror and with dread

Till one fine day from Kansas

A house fell on her head

And the coroner pronounced her: DEAD

And through the town the joyous news went running

The joyous news that the wicked old witch

Was finally done in

Ding-Dong! The witch is dead!



[Harold:]

Which old witch?

[Barbra:]

The wicked witch

Ding-Dong! The wicked witch is dead!

Wake up you sleepy head



[Harold:]

Rub your eyes



[Barbra:]

Get out of that bed

Wake up! The wicked old witch is dead!



[Both:]

She's gone where the goblins go

Below, below, below - yo-ho!

Let's open up and sing



[Barbra:]

And ring those bells out...



[Harold:]

Sing the news out!



[Barbra:]

Ding-Dong! The merry-o

Sing it high and sing it low

Let them know the wicked old witch is dead



[Harold:]

Why everyone's glad

She took such a crownin'



[Barbra:]

Bein' hit by a house

Is even worse than drownin'



[Both:]

Let 'em know the wicked old witch is dead!!!

FRANK SINATRA lyrics - The Single Man

(R. Mckuen)



[Recorded March 19, 1969, Hollywood]



I live alone, that hasn't always been easy to do for just a single man

Sometimes it's nice the walls talk back to me,

They seem to say, wasn't yesterday a better day?

Always alone, at home or in a crowd,

A single man off on his private cloud,

'Cause in a world that few men understand,

I am what I am, the single man.

Once was a time, I can't remember when,

The house was filled with love, but then again,

It might have been imagination's plan

To help along a single man.

NATALIE MERCHANT lyrics - Soldier, Soldier

(Traditional)



Said, "soldier, now soldier

Would you marry me

Before the fight comes on?"



"How can I marry

Such a pretty little girl

When I got no suit to put on?"



Well she went to the dry goods store

Hard as she could run

She bought the finest

Little suit in the store,

"come on soldier put this on"



Said, "soldier, now soldier

Would you marry me

Before the fight comes on?"



"How can I marry

Such a pretty little girl

When I got no shoes to put on"



Well she went to the dry goods store

Hard as she could run

She bought the finest

Little shoes in the store

"come on soldier put these on"



Said, "soldier, now soldier

Would you marry me

Before the fight comes on?"



"How can I marry

Such a pretty little girl

When I got no hat to put on?"



Well she went to the dry goods store

Hard as she could run

She bought the finest

Little hat in the store

"come on soldier put this on"



Said, "soldier, now soldier

Would you marry me

Before the fight comes on?"



"How can I marry

Such an ugly little girl

When I got a pretty wife at home?"

THE KINKS lyrics - Uncle Son

He was just a workin' man,

Simple rules and simple plans,

Fancy words he didn't understand,

He loved with his heart,

He worked with his hands.



Liberals dream of equal rights,

Conservatives live in a world gone by,

Socialists preach of a promised land,

But old Uncle Son was an ordinary man.



Bless you Uncle Son,

They won't forget you when the revolution comes.



Unionists tell you when to strike,

Generals tell you when to fight,

Preachers teach you wrong from right,

They'll feed you when you're born,

And use you all your life.



Bless you Uncle Son,

They won't forget you when the revolution comes.

MICHAEL BOLTON lyrics - Hear Me

(Jim Brickman/Tom Douglas/Victoria Shaw)



Take these tears, put 'em in a bottle.

Don't let these tears I cry be in vain.

Take these tears, keep them up in heaven.

Water my life with tears like rain



Hear me, hear my words unspoken,

Restore my faith in hoping

Hear me, I am feeling broken I am broken open.



Take this life, turn it into something,

I'm afraid it's just wasting time

Turn this life the sun has ripened, grow it slowly on the vine.

Turn my tears into wine



Hear me, hear my words unspoken,

Restore my faith in hoping

Hear me, I am feeling broken I am broken open.



Turn my tears into wine, turn these tears into wine.

All there's left of me are traces.

Make me stronger in my broken places



Hear me, hear my words unspoken,

Restore my faith in hoping

Hear me, I am feeling broken I am broken open.



Turn these tears into wine, turn my tears into wine

Hear me...

RICKIE LEE JONES lyrics - Nobody Knows My Name

For a thousand years

I've lay upon the Lake Victoria

I was winged and many-colored

And nobody knew my name



For a thousand years

I fell out of the sand into the Guadeloupe

And I made many songs into the air

And nobody knew my name



I fell like water

In sweet gasps of hydrogen up

Into the sea over the Bikini Islands

And I dove into the liquid concrete of sweet silver lake

The liquid concrete of down by the river

And nobody knew my name



Now I walk among them and I sing to them

And I open up my wrists

And nobody knows my name



And I translate into many hours of history

But nobody knows my name

I stood in the four winds

I stood in the four winds

I stood in the four winds

And nobody knows my name



So I walk again

Yeah, I walk every night

So I walk again

I look at you

Sweet every face

Do you know my name

Do you, do you know my name

Do you know my name

Do you know my name

Say it

Do you know my name

Say it

Do you know my name

Do you know my name

Do you know my

Do you know my name

Do you know my

My...

THE BEATLES lyrics - Within You Without You

(Harrison)



We were talking about the space between us all

And the people who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion

Never glimpse the truth, then it's far too late, when they pass away

We were talking about the love we all could share

When we find it, to try our best to hold it there with our love

With our love, we could save the world, if they only knew



Try to realise it's all within yourself

No one else can make you change

And to see you're really only very small

And life flows on within you and without you



We were talking about the love that's gone so cold

And the people who gain the world and lose their soul

They don't know, they can't see, are you one of them?



When you've seen beyond yourself then you may find

Peace of mind is waiting there

And the time will come when you see we're all one

And life flows on within you and without you

IRON MAIDEN lyrics - Bring Your Daughter... To The Slaughter

(Dickinson)



Honey it's getting close to midnight

And all the myths are still in town

True love and lipstick on your linen

Bite the pillow make no sound

If there's some living to be done

Before your life becomes your tomb

You'd better know that I'm the one

So unchain your back door invite me around



[Chorus:]

Bring your daughter, bring your daughter to the slaughter

Let her go, let her go, let her go



Honey it's getting close to daybreak

The sun is creeping in the sky

No patent remedies for heartache

Just empty words and humble pie

So get down on your knees honey

Assume an attitude

You just pray that I'll be waiting

Cos you know I'm coming soon



So pick up your foolish pride, no going back

No where, no way, no place to hide



[Chorus]

MICHAEL MCDONALD lyrics - Lonely Talk

(Chuck Sabatino And Michael McDonald)



From a promise to a lie

From lies to regret

Turn your back on truth baby

And that's always what you get

A man could drown in a love so deep baby



I'm not beggin' you to stay

It's just lonely talk

You don't hear a word I say

You just turn and walk away baby

If I'm on my knees and prayin'

To the lord above

When he listens to my prayer

He knows that it's just lonely talk



Well, I call your name

And I cry all night

Well, it's of no concern to you baby

Now that I'm out of your sight

A man could drown in a love so deep baby

DEAN MARTIN lyrics - Love Is All That Matters

(Love is all, love is all, love is all, love is all, love is all)

Love is all that matters

And we've got love

We have walked all with a prize (love is all, love is all)

The stars that I used to see

Are not where they used to be

They only will shine for me in your eyes

(Love is all that matters to me)



You are all that matters

And I've got you

We're on top and we won't fall (we won't fall 'cause love is all)

No fortune that we can boast

We're happy with tea and toast

For we've got love and love matters most of all



(You are all that matters and I've got you)

(We're on top and we won't fall)

No fortune that we can boast

We're happy with tea and toast

For we've got love and love matters most of all

(Love is all that matters, love is all)

SARAH BRIGHTMAN lyrics - There Is More To Love

There is more to love,

So much more,

Than simply making love -

That's easy.



Gazing into eyes,

Pretty eyes,

Which could be any eyes -

That's crazy.



Hands are just hands,

A face is just a face...

They come and go -

They're easy to replace...



There is more to love,

So much more,

Than moon-struck escapades -

That's nothing.



There is peace of mind,

So much peace,

In quiet company -

That's something.



Everyone but him

Seems wrong for me...

Every time I feel

There has to be

More...



If I could hear

The music I heard then,

I'd never let

It fade away again...



There is more to love,

So much more,

Than simply making love -

That's easy.



Gazing into eyes,

Pretty eyes,

Which could be any eyes -

That's crazy.



Now each time

Love reaches out to me,

I can only feel

There has to be

So much more

To love...

THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS lyrics - The Ballad Of Davy Crockett (In Outer Space)

Davy, Davy Crockett

Traveling through outer space



Reborn in the stratosphere and Saturn-bound

Flying fast and miles off the ground

Jumped from the spaceship just to look around

And shot off his gun without making a sound



Davy, Davy Crockett

King of this brand new place

Davy, Davy Crockett

Traveling through outer space



Off went his rocket at the speed of light

Flying so fast there was no day or night

Messing around with the fabric of time

He knows who's guilty 'fore there's even a crime



Davy, Davy Crockett

The buckskin astronaut

Davy, Davy Crockett

There's more than we were taught



Hiding in the cargo was a robot drone

Programmed to destroy Davy's spaceship home

Davy switched out his brains, now the drone's a dog clone

Named him Copernicus and threw him a bone



Davy, Davy Crockett

King of this brand new place

Davy, Davy Crockett

Traveling through outer space



Davy, Davy Crockett

King of this brand new place

Davy, Davy Crockett

Traveling through outer space

CHRIS ISAAK lyrics - Talk To Me

Talk to me, tell me that you love me, and that you'll never leave me.

Talk to me, tell me that you love me, and that you'll never leave me.

Talk to me, tell me that you love me, and that you'll never leave me.

Talk to me, tell me that you love me, and that you'll never leave me.



Talk to me, talk to me.

Talk to me like your the only girl, talk to me in this whole wide world.

Talk to me like your the only one, talk to me tell me what has love done.



Imagine a boy, imagine a girl.

Imagine the hearts, that are broken by the world.

Don't pass me by like a stranger, don't shackle love there's no danger.

Don't leave me here all alone, oh.

Talk to me, talk to me, t-a-l-k, t-a-l-k.



Talk to me, tell me that you love me, and that you'll never leave me.

Talk to me, tell me that you love me, and that you'll never leave me.

Talk to me, tell me that you love me, and that you'll never leave me.

Talk to me, tell me that you love me, and that you'll never leave me.



Don't pass me by like a stranger, don't shackle love there's no danger.

Don't leave me here, all alone. So alone, I'm alone. Oh.....

Talk to me, talk to me, t-a-l-k, t-a-l-k.

Imagine a boy, imagine a girl.

Imagine the hearts, that are broken by the world.

T-a-l-k, t-a-l-k, t-a-l-k, t-a-l-k, talk to me.

Darlin' talk to me.

PETE SEEGER lyrics - Or Else! (One-A These Days)

(Pete Seeger, David Bernz and A. N. Onymous. Music by Pete Seeger)



[Chorus:]

One-a these days (ONE-A THESE DAYS)

One-a these days (ONE-A THESE DAYS)

One-a these days, one-a these days

OR ELSE!



Our school will get the money it needs for smaller classes,

And the Navy will hold a bake sale to build a battleship.



[Chorus]



And Johnny will get the money he needs for that operation,

And the Air Force will hold a raffle to buy a bomber.



[Chorus]



And every vote will be counted in every election,

And the winners will always keep all of their promises.



[Chorus]



And around the world we'll learn each other's languages

And the very first thing we'll learn is how to listen.

(spoken) "Who knows the word for 'hello' in some other language?"

(spoken responses of "hello" in several languages)



[Chorus]



God only knows what the future will be

God only knows what the future will be

But God gave us brains

He meant us to use 'em



[Chorus 2x]

THE KINKS lyrics - Predictable

Don't know why I'm even bothering.

(Predictable)

Yeah, that's the mood I'm in.

Go out for a walk then I come back in.

(Predictable)

Yeah, the mood that I'm in.

(Predictable)

Every day of my life

Can't even communicate with my wife

(Predictable)

That's the word of the year

(Predictable)

All I see, all I hear.



Go to my office, sit at my desk,

Predictably just like all of the rest.

I sit and I dream about far away places,

Away from the people with frowns on their faces.

All of my life is monotony

I'd go out for a walk but I know it would be

(Predictable)

Sure as the nose on my face

(Predictable)

Same for the whole human race



Once we (once we) had so many options

Once we (once we) had dignity and grace

Now we (now we) have got nothing but our own time to waste.



(Predictable)

Yeah, that's the word of the year

(Predictable)

All I see, all I hear

Why can't it be like never before?

(Predictable)

Yeah, ain't life a bore

(Predictable)

Life gets more and more...

Just like I've heard it all somewhere before.

(Predictable)

Sure as the nose on my face

(Predictable)

Same for the whole human race



One day (one day) it's gonna get better some way (some way)

I wish it would get worse any way (any way)

What can I lose, it might turn into something better.



It gets harder and harder the harder I try

(Predictable)

Feels like a good time to die

I kiss you hello then I kiss you good-bye

(Predictable)

Just like the stain on my tie

(Predictable)

Just like the jacket I wear

(Predictable)

The way that I'm combing my hair

Turn on the TV, just sit and stare

(Predictable)

There's nothing happening there



Yeah, that's the word of the year

(Predictable)

All I see, all I hear.

DAVE DAVIES lyrics - Let Me Be

If you run out of luck don't give in to hate

Just find a new direction before it's too late

If you hear them knocking on my door

Just say that I'm not here I can't take it any more

Well I'm leaving town and I won't be 'round

'Til I reach my destination, tell the world I'm underground

And it won't be long now that I've found love

Gonna search the whole world over find a place where I belong



Let me be, let me be for I'm innocent

Can't you see all the good that's inside of me

Let me be, let me be oh I'm innocent, let me go



Gonna walk my walk, talk my talk

Don't need no-one's approval, gonna make it on my own

Gonna have my say, gonna fly away

I'll beat this beurocratic nightmare and social decay, oh yeah

I've found out yeah, I found love

Gonna stick to my dreams, gonna blow this world away



Let me be, let me be for I'm innocent

Can't you see all the good that's inside of me

Let me be, let me be for I'm innocent, let me go



Let me be, let me be for I'm innocent

Can't you see all these feelings inside of me

Let me be, let me be for I'm innocent, let me go



Nobody cares, nobody hears

Living in a vacuum, is anybody there?

Someway, somehow just got to survive

They'll never get my soul, they'll never take me alive



Let me be, let me be for I'm innocent

Can't you see all these feelings inside of me

Let me be, let me be for I'm innocent, let me go



Let me be, let me be for I'm innocent

Can't you see all the good that's inside of me

Let me be, let me be for I'm innocent, I don't know

SKID ROW (GARY MOORE) lyrics - An Awful Lot Of Woman

(Brendan "Brush" Shiels)



This whole thing about her just drives me wild.

Everything she do, she do with style.

Walk and talk, it keeps you on the ball.

An awful lot of woman is my woman child.

Makes you wanna shout "Show wee".

Only thing she knows is love.

There ain't no doubt, she belongs to me.

She's the only woman I'm thinkin' of.



She's all heart, she got a sweet disposition.

She makes love in any position.

She's much more than just a pretty smile.

An awful lot of woman is my woman child.

Makes you wanna shout "Show wee".

Only thing she knows is love.

There is no doubt, she belongs to me.

She's the only woman I'm thinkin' of.



Something about her just drives me wild.

Everything she do, she do with style.

Walk and talk, it keeps you on the ball.

An awful lot of woman is my woman child.

Makes you wanna shout "Show wee".

Only thing she knows is love.

There is no doubt, she belongs to me.

She's the only woman I'm thinkin' of.

She's the only woman I'm thinkin' of.

The one and only woman I'm thinkin' of.

RONNIE DYSON lyrics - Why Can't I Touch You

(Courtney/Link)



If you let me make love to you

Then why can't I touch you?

If you let me make love to you

Then why can't I touch you?



I'm not saying I want to change you

I don't want to rearrange you



If you let me make love to you

Then why can't I touch you?

If you let me make love to you

Then why can't I touch you?



>From the very first moment I saw you

It's been a different world

>From the very first moment I saw you

It's been such a different world



I seem to be a little bit stronger

Each moment seems just a little bit

Little bit longer

Missing links and little kinks

Have never been found and uncurled



But you're still the same

You're like a frozen flame

Well it sure seems ashame

You let me make love to you

But you won't let me touch you



When I leave you I'm going someplace

That I've never been before

When I leave you I'm going someplace

That I've never been before

Why don't you reach out and touch me

Reach out and touch me



If you let me make love to you

Then why can't I touch you?

If you let me make love to you

Then why can't I touch you?

BRIAN WILSON lyrics - Surfer Girl

Little surfer little one

Made my heart come all undone

Do you love me, do you surfer girl

Surfer girl my little surfer girl



I have watched you on the shore

Standing by the ocean's roar

Do you love me do you surfer girl

Surfer girl surfer girl



We could ride the surf together

While our love would grow

In my Woody I would take you everywhere I go

So I say from me to you

I will make your dreams come true

Do you love me do you surfer girl

Surfer girl my little surfer girl

Well

Girl surfer girl my little surfer girl

Well

Girl surfer girl my little surfer girl

Well

Girl surfer girl my little surfer girl

BOB DYLAN lyrics - License To Kill

Man thinks 'cause he rules the earth he can do with it as he please

And if things don't change soon, he will

Oh, man has invented his doom

First step was touching the moon.



Now there's a woman on my block

She just sit there as the night grows still

She say who gonna take away his license to kill?



Now, they take him and they teach him and they groom him for life

And they set him on a path where he's bound to get ill

Then they bury him with stars

Sell his body like they do used cars.



Now, there's a woman on my block

She just sit there facing the hill

She say who gonna take away his license to kill?



Now, he's hell-bent for destruction, he's afraid and confused

And his brain has been mismanaged with great skill

All he believe are his eyes

And his eyes, they just tell him lies.



But there's a woman on my block

Sitting there in a cold chill

She say who gonna take away his license to kill?



Ya may be a noisemaker, spirit maker

Heartbreaker, backbreaker

Leave no stone unturned

May be an actor in a plot

That might be all that you got

'Til your error you clearly learn.



Now he worships at an altar of a stagnant pool

And when he sees his reflection, he's fulfilled

Oh, man is opposed to fair play

He wants it all and he wants it his way.



Now, there's a woman on my blocks

She just sit there as the night grows still

She say who gonna take away his license to kill?

B. B. KING lyrics - To Know You Is To Love You

(Stevie Wonder / Syreeta Wright)



To know you, is to love you,

But to know me, is not that way you see

'Cause you make me, so happy,

That my love for you grows intensely



When I'm down and feelin' sad,

You always comfort me

When I'm down and feelin' sad,

You always comfort me



Baby, to know you is to love you,

You smile when I see your face

'Cause there is no one on this earth

Baby, could ever, ever take your place



When I'm down and feelin' sad,

You always comfort me

When I'm down and feelin' sad,

You always comfort me



Oh, to know you is to love you,

Is to see you, been free as the way

'Cause the collar, of your loving,

Is to strong to hold



To know you is to love you

To see you going free...

The collar, of your loving

I never found a woman like you,

That could be my lover 'n' my best friend



I know you, and I think I love you

I know you, and I think you love me

I know you and can't you feel our love just growing,

Growing, growing, growing, growing, growing, hey



I know you, and I think I love you

I know you, and I think I love you

I know you and can't you feel our love just growing,

Growing, growing, growing, growing, baby



I know you, and I think I love you

I know you, and I think I love you

I know you and can't you our love just growing,

Growing, growing, growing, hey, is growing baby



I know you, and I love you

I know you, and I think I love you

I know you, and I think I love you,

And I think you love me too, hmm baby



I know you

KYLIE MINOGUE lyrics - Things Can Only Get Better

Make up your mind and don't believe

It's bad news everywhere

Take your time and look around

Because there's something in the air

There's a feeling that's gaining ground

And everyone can have a share

Don't miss your chance

Take up your stance

And just be sure that you are there



[Chorus:]

It's in your hands now

To change your fortune

To shape your future

Be proud of yourself

Remember, things can only get better



If you believe inside your heart

Nobody's second class

Every day's a brand new start

What's past is past

And if your dreams go nowhere

Don't give up the fight

Come with me and you will see

It all looks different in the morning light



[Chorus]



[Bridge:]

If you're feeling you can't go on and you're

Lost and lonely and feel so afraid

Remember, things can only get better



[Chorus]



[Bridge]



[Chorus]



[Fade]

DOLLY PARTON lyrics - Don't Let Me Cross Over

(Penny Jay)



I'm tempted my darlin' to steal you away

Don't let me cross over, stay out of my way

'Cause you know that I love you and I'm not the stealin' kind

But I'm faced with heartache here at love's cheating line



Don't let me cross over love's cheating line

You belong to another and can never be mine

I know one step closer would be heaven divine

Don't let me cross over love's cheating line



I've tried to forget you but what else can I do

When your eyes keep saying that you want me too

And I know if I lose you not a dream will I have left

I don't want to cheat dear, but I can't help myself



Don't let me cross over love's cheating line

You belong to another and can never be mine

I know one step closer would be heaven divine

Don't let me cross over love's cheating line



Don't let me cross over love's cheating line

BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD lyrics - What A Day

It's a good mornin' and I'm feelin' fine

Hey, it's such a lovely day

Smile, a frown would be passe

I want to play

Oh, what a day



I've got to dream

I can't find a reason to care

And it seems

I hung all my thoughts in mid-air

Look over there

Oh, stop and stare



It's a good mornin' and I'm feelin' fine

What did you say?

It's a wonderful day



It's a good mornin' and I'm feelin' fine

Hey, it's such a lovely day

Oh, smile, a frown would just be passe

I want to play

Oh, what a day



It's a good mornin' and I'm feelin' fine (It's a good mornin')

It's a good mornin' and I'm feelin' fine (It's a good mornin')

It's a good mornin' and I'm feelin' fine (It's a good mornin')

It's a good mornin' and I'm feelin' fine

RICK SPRINGFIELD lyrics - Life Is A Celebration

(Springfield)



I was lost on a winding road

I thought that life had nothing left to give

Then you came and showed me that just to live

Was the greatest gift of all?

And you showed me



Life is a celebration

And Lord, I'm gonna celebrate

Don't you know that life is a celebration?

So come on now and celebrate, celebrate

Life is a celebration

Look it's a revelation

So celebrate now, celebrate life, yeah!

Celebrate now, celebrate life, yeah!



How could I have been so blind?

Just to think that we were living to die

Then you came along and I was no longer alone

And you lead me to the light

And you showed me



Life is a celebration

And Lord, I'm gonna celebrate

Don't you know that life is a celebration?

So come on now and celebrate, celebrate

Life is a celebration

Look it's a revelation

So celebrate now, celebrate life, yeah!

Celebrate now, celebrate life, yeah!



And you showed me life is a celebration

And Lord, I'm gonna celebrate

Don't you know that life is a celebration?

So come on now and celebrate, celebrate



Life is a celebration

Look it's a revelation

So celebrate now, celebrate life, yeah!

Celebrate now, celebrate life, yeah!

Celebrate, celebrate, celebrate, celebrate

Celebrate, celebrate life!

THE BEATLES lyrics - I've Just Seen A Face

(Lennon/McCartney)



I've just seen a face

I can't forget the time or place

Where we just meet

She's just the girl for me

And want all the world to see

We've met, mmm-mmm-mmm-m'mmm-mmm



Had it been another day

I might have looked the other way

And I'd have never been aware

But as it is I'll dream of her

Tonight, di-di-di-di'n'di



Falling, yes I am falling

And she keeps calling

Me back again



I have never known

The like of this, I've been alone

And I have missed things

And kept out of sight

But other girls were never quite

Like this, da-da-n'da-da'n'da



Falling, yes I am falling

And she keeps calling

Me back again



Falling, yes I am falling

And she keeps calling

Me back again



I've just seen a face

I can't forget the time or place

Where we just meet

She's just the girl for me

And want all the world to see

We've met, mmm-mmm-mmm-da-da-da



Falling, yes I am falling

And she keeps calling

Me back again

Falling, yes I am falling

And she keeps calling

Me back again

Oh, falling, yes I am falling

And she keeps calling

Me back again

BOB DYLAN lyrics - Positively 4th Street

You got a lotta nerve

To say you are my friend

When I was down

You just stood there grinning



You got a lotta nerve

To say you got a helping hand to lend

You just want to be on

The side that's winning



You say I let you down

You know it's not like that

If you're so hurt

Why then don't you show it



You say you lost your faith

But that's not where it's at

You had no faith to lose

And you know it



I know the reason

That you talk behind my back

I used to be among the crowd

You're in with



Do you take me for such a fool

To think I'd make contact

With the one who tries to hide

What he don't know to begin with



You see me on the street

You always act surprised

You say, "How are you?" "Good luck"

But you don't mean it



When you know as well as me

You'd rather see me paralyzed

Why don't you just come out once

And scream it



No, I do not feel that good

When I see the heartbreaks you embrace

If I was a master thief

Perhaps I'd rob them



And now I know you're dissatisfied

With your position and your place

Don't you understand

It's not my problem



I wish that for just one time

You could stand inside my shoes

And just for that one moment

I could be you



Yes, I wish that for just one time

You could stand inside my shoes

You'd know what a drag it is

To see you

GEORGE STRAIT lyrics - Do The Right Thing

Once you told me you were gonna love me

That it was meant to be and there's no other way

Then came someone showed you more fun

We've had a good run better think it over



Do the right thing baby do the right thing

Go with your heart and do the right thing



He's got a good line, shows you a good time

Did he change your mind guess it's your move

I'll lose my pride I'd even step aside

Honey you really must decide who's best for you



Do the right thing baby do the right thing

Go with your heart and do the right thing



Do the right thing baby do the right thing

Go with your heart and do the right thing



You might chose me or chose to lose me

Someday you'll see the good thing you had



Do the right thing baby do the right thing

Go with your heart and do the right thing



Do the right thing baby do the right thing

Go with your heart and do the right thing



Go with your heart and do the right thing

CHICAGO lyrics - Only Time Can Heal The Wounded

You hear a sound as she's leaving

You'll hear your heart pound so hard

You'll miss her warm touch and the way

Things once were

It's such a cold town when you miss her

It's not the same place no more

When it's hard to mend what's broken

And you still can't let her go

Beyond the storm there's an answer

Beyond the nights you spend alone

Beyond the headlights and the highways you go

You'll take a long ride without her

Until the tears dry away

In every way you try to reason

When there's no reason left to hold

Only time can heal the wounded of love

Any day now time will tell

Only love can turn it all around again

There's no heart that time can't heal

Whatever pieces you're missing

Whatever you leave behind

However you look at things they do change

It's not the same conversation

It's not the way that it was

There'll be one less tear tomorrow

There'll be one less night alone

Only time can heal the wounded of love

Any day now time will tell

Only love can turn it all around again

There's no heart that time can't heal

CULTURE CLUB lyrics - Black Comedy

Sweet cunning eyes

try to take from me

You're too young, I'm too wise

this is parody

A taste of what you likeA can be fatal sometimes

Arms that hold you tight

but leave you cold, so cold

The stars in the sky

are out of reach tonight

Tears fall like rain, wrong again

words won't make me right

'Cause I knew from the start you were wrong for me

Call it fate if you like or black comedy

Love, maybe lust, made me sweet sixteen

So my soul lost control

nothing in between

A taste of what you want

can be brutal sometimes

Arms that hold you tight

but leave you cold, so cold

The stars in the sky

are out of reach tonight Tears fall like rain, wrong again

words won't make me right

'Cause I knew from the start you were wrong for me

Call it fate if you like or black comedy

The stars in the sky

are out of reach tonight

Tears fall like rain, wrong again

words won't make me right

'Cause I knew from the start you were wrong for me

Call it fate if you like or black comedy

GOO GOO DOLLS lyrics - Only One

I'll open up my head awhile

Its been dead for years

Must have been a victim of my peers

One is for my happiness

The other for my health

The last is something bigger than myself



I ain't the only one to say



I'm talking to myself again

I'll just start a fight

Nobody can prove me wrong - I'm right

Anti-hero idol with a suicide excuse

A thousand other suckers will try and fill your shoes



I ain't the only one to say



Little pictures in my head

Turning inside out again

Cause fucking up takes practice I feel I'm well rehearsed



Because the past is a bully and the futures even worse

You tell me what you fear cause I can feel it like a curse



Well, you used to be a folk singer now you're just a joke singer

Ain't no smoking dope singer swinging from a rope singer



I ain't the only one to say

EARTH, WIND AND FIRE lyrics - Faces

Many faces listen to the sound

Different places, span the globe around

Finding traces true in everyone

No there's nothing new, under the sun



Many faces listen to the sound

Different places, span the globe around

All the races, forever speeding up

Now fulfillment of the loving cup



Faces, places, races

Do-We-I-A

U2 lyrics - Mysterious Ways

Johnny take a walk with your sister the moon

Let her pale light in to fill up your room

You've been living underground

Eating from a can

You've been running away

From what you don't understand...

Love



She's slippy

You're sliding down

She'll be there when you hit the ground



It's alright, it's alright, it's alright

She moves in mysterious ways

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright

She moves in mysterious ways



Johnny take a dive with your sister in the rain

Let her talk about the things you can't explain

To touch is to heal

To hurt is to steal

If you want to kiss the sky

Better learn how to kneel



(on your knees boy)



She's the wave

She turns the tide

She sees the man inside the child



It's alright, it's alright, it's alright

She moves in mysterious ways

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright

She moves in mysterious ways

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright

Lift my days, light up my nights



One day you will look...back

And you'll see...where

You were held...how

By this love...while

You could stand...there

You could move on this moment

Follow this feeling



It's alright, it's alright, it's alright

She moves in mysterious ways

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright

She moves in mysterious ways

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright



We move through miracle days

Spirit moves in mysterious ways

She moves with it

She moves with it

Lift my days, light up my nights
