DAVID BYRNE lyrics - I Know Sometimes A Man Is Wrong (Song Of The Trees)

I know sometimes I can be wrong

I know sometimes I do believe

I know sometimes I can be wrong

I'll be wrong until you're next to me

I'll be wrong until you're next to me

I know sometimes the world is wrong

I know sometimes I do believe

I know sometimes the world is wrong

They'll be wrong until you're next to me

They'll be wrong until you're next to me

BRYAN ADAMS lyrics - There Will Never Be Another Tonight

Put on your best dress darling

Can't you see the time is right

There will never be another tonight



If you got your motor runnin'

Then I got my engines on

Say the word and darlin' we'll be gone

Outside the world is waitin'

But we won't lose control

So come on now - let the good times roll



You gotta ride your broom right into my room

Kick off your shoes make yourself at home

Wave your little wand - weave a little spell

Make a little magic - raise some hell



There will never be another tonight

C'mon baby - hold on tight

There will never be another tonight

I don't care if it's wrong or right

We got nothin' to lose just me and you

In your wildest dreams...

There'll never be another tonight



Who cares about tomorrow

Let the wind fill your sails

A runaway train ridin' on the rails

We got the bases loaded

Home run - power play

Tonight's the night we're goin' all the way



You gotta ride your broom right into my room

Kick off your shoes make yourself at home

Wave your little wand - weave a little spell

Make a little magic - raise some hell



There will never be another tonight

C'mon baby - hold on tight

There will never be another tonight

Flash your diamonds shine your lights

There'll never be another tonight

I don't care if it's wrong or right

Cause we got nothin' to lose just me and you

In your wildest dreams...

There'll never be another tonight



Some people they're looking for paradise

Others they're looking for inner light

Me I'm just having the time of my life

I'm headin' out, to check it out

Check it out!!

CARLY SIMON lyrics - Is This Love?

(Bob Marley)



I wanna love you

And treat you right

I wanna love you

Every day and every night

We'll be together with a roof

Right over our head

We'll share the shelter of my single bed

We'll share the same room,

God will provide the bread



[Chorus:]

Is this love, is this love, is this love, is this love

That I'm feeling

Is this love, is this love, is this love, is this love

That I'm feeling

I'm willing and able

So I throw my cards on the table



I wanna love you

And treat you right

I wanna love you

Everyday and every night

We'll be together with a roof

Right over our heads

We'll share the shelter of my single bed

We'll share the same room

God will provide the bread



Is this love, is this love, is this love, is this love

That I'm feeling

Is this love, is this love, is this love, is this love

That I'm feeling I wanna know, wanna know, wanna know now



[Chorus]



I wanna love you

I wanna treat you right

I wanna love you

Everyday and every night

We'll be together with a roof right over our heads

We'll share the shelter, yeah, of my single bed

We'll share the same room

God will provide the bread

K. D. LANG lyrics - My Old Addiction

(David Wilcox)



[Originally titled "Chet Baker's Unsung Swan Song"]



My old addiction

Changed the wiring in my brain

So that when it turns the switches

Then I am not the same



So like the flowers toward the Sun

I will follow

Stretch myself out thin

Like there's a part of me that's already buried

That sends me out into this window



My old addiction

Is a flood upon the land

This tiny lifeboat

Can keep me dry

But my weight is all

That it can stand



So when I try to lean just a little

For just a splash to cool my face

Ahh that trickle

Turns out fickle

Fills my boat up

Five miles deep



My old addiction

Makes me crave only what is best

Like these just this morning song birds

Craving upward from the nest

These tiny birds outside my window

Take my hand to be their mom

These open mouths

Would trust and swallow

Anything that came along



Like my old addiction

Now the other side of Day

As the springtime

Of my life's time

Turn's the other way



If a swan can have a song

I think I know that tune

But the page is only scrawled

And I am gone this afternoon

But the page is only scrawled

And I am gone this afternoon

BARRY MANILOW lyrics - The Christmas Song

Chestnuts roasting on a open fire

Jack Frost nipping at your nose

Yuletide carols being sung by a choir

And folks dressed up like eskimos

Everybody knows

A turkey and some misteltoe

Help to make the season bright

Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow

Will find it hard to sleep tonight



They know that Santa's on his way

He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh

And every mother's child is going to spy

Too see if reindeer even know how to fly

And so I'm offering this simple phrase

To kids from 1 to 92

All though it's been said many times

Many ways



Merry Christmas to you

And every mother's child is going to spy

Too see if reindeer even know how to fly

And so I'm offering this simple phrase

To kids from 1 to 92

All though it's been said many times

Many ways

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to you

BARRY MANILOW lyrics - Fugue For Tinhorns

I got the horse right here

His name is Paul Revier

And here's a guy who says if the weather's clear

Can do, can do

This guy says the horse can do

Can do, can do

I'm picking valentine

Cause on the morning line

The guy has got him figured 5 to 9

Has a chance, has a chance

This guy say the horse has a chance

If he says the horse has a chance

Has a chance, has a chance

No way



For Paul Revier I'll bite

I hear his foots alright

Of course it all depends

If it rained last night

I know it's valentine

The morning word the find

Besides the jokey's brother's a friend of mind

Needs grace, needs grace

This guy says the horse needs grace

He says that the horse needs grace

Needs grace, needs grace

Hey wait a minute fellows

Have you consider this

Well anyway, it's my turn to sing

So shut up

Oh really



But look at appetat

He wins it by a hair

According to this here in the telegraphy

Big threat, big threat

This guy calls the horse big threat

If he calls the horse big threat

Big threat, big threat

I tell you Paul Revier

Now this is no bum stear

It's from my handy cap that is real sincere

I go from valentine

Cause on the morning line

The guy has got him figured 5 to 9

Has a chance, has a chance

The guy says the horse has a chance

Paul Revier

Valentine

Appatat

I got the horse right here

GEORGE STRAIT lyrics - Drinking Champagne

I'm drinking champagne, feelin' no pain till early mornin'.

Dinin' and dancin' with every pretty girl I can find.

I'm having a fling with a pretty young thing till early mornin'.

Knowin' tomorrow I'll wake up with you on my mind.



[Chorus:]

Guilty conscience I guess, though I must confess

I never loved you much when you were mine.

So I'll keep drinking champagne feelin' no pain till early mornin'.

Dinin' and dancin' with every pretty girl I can find.

Havin' a fling with a pretty young thing till early mornin'.

Knowin' tomorrow I'll wake up with you on my mind.



[Chorus:]

Guilty conscience I guess, though I must confess

I never loved you much when you were mine.

So I'll keep drinking champagne feelin' no pain till early mornin'.

Dinin' and dancin' with every pretty girl I can find.

I'll keep havin' a fling with a pretty young thing till early mornin'.

Knowin' tomorrow I'll wake up with you on my mind.

ALPHAVILLE lyrics - Fallen Angel

(Lyrics: Gold / Music: Gold-Lloyd-Mertens)



I hear those voices on the radio

I switched it off because she told me so

She's an investigator, she's like an elevator

Nobody told me we'd be all alone, you know

Somewhere my friend had left me in that twilight zone, You know

She said, I've seen your deepest secrets now

They're just as lightning in the look of your eyes

I said, I want you baby, I said, I want some more

I said, I never ever felt it like that moment before

She's an assassin, she's melting steel in my heart

And I beg for more

She said, I want your body, she said, I want your soul

She said, a fallen angel takes it and she'll never let go

She's an invader, she's from another world

And I beg for more and more

She's raising feelings cutting like a knife

She's pouring fire into my liquid life

There's no escaping from her mysteries

She gives me kisses of the strangest kind, she says

I know you'll like it, so come over here, she says

And let that rhythm filter through your body, dear

And then she...

She always did it and she always will

She'll stay that hunter till the end of time

I said, I want you baby, I said, I want some more

I said, I never ever felt it like that moment before

She's an assassin, she's melting steel in my heart

And I beg for more

She said, I want your body, she said, I want your soul

She said, a fallen angel takes it and she'll never let go

She's an invader, she's from another world

And I beg for more and more..

THIN LIZZY lyrics - Sha-La-La

A strange kind of magic

Call it voodoo

You want the woman

Yes you do



Believe me baby

I know it's true

Come on sugar

Let me give it to you



I want to sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

Ooh right



Black magic woman

You've got a hole

Come on sugar

I'll lose control



I want your body

Not your soul

Come on baby

Take my jelly roll



Hey honey

Want some money

Go find it

I do

YES lyrics - City Of Love

(Rabin/Anderson)



City of love City of love City of love



Once bitten twice shy

No - No regrets at all

Justice - Body smooth take over

Good girls they work the city

Good guys they spike you hard

How they jive ad jingle

When you're in their backyard



Street corner wonder lust

Beckoning the good guy

Take this get that

Have a good time



He young and tactile

He ready for anything that is

How they jive and jingle

They've read the book that gives



We'll be waiting for the night

We'll be waiting for the night to come



We'll be waiting for the night

We'll be waiting for the night to come



Supervise this good treatment

Alternative line by line

So the street guys so observant

Take him for a ride

Have a good time

Like a legend the man he sharp

His woman gladly watching

As he strides out of the dark

Better be quick get away



We'll be waiting for the night

We'll be waiting for the night to come



We'll be waiting for the night

We'll be waiting for the night to come



Solo



Good timing has its good price

One trick and you're stuck with the dice

How they jive and jingle

When you're their sacrifice



Fast as lightning

Go - Go get high - He's looking good

Once bitten twice shy

No woman no cry

No woman don't cry



We'll be waiting for the night

We'll be waiting for the night to come



(repeat three times)

BARCLAY JAMES HARVEST lyrics - Mill Boys

Sky was black, Lord, rain came pouring down

Number 12 bus shuffling down Shaw Road way

Mules keep spinning, black-faced lifers peck the ground

Sun comes up like lightning over Tandle Hills grey

We are mill boys, stuck on the hill boys

Stuck in the mill boys, 'till our dying day

We are mill boys, stuck on the hill boys

Stuck in the mill boys, 'till our dying day



Cotton mill will get you, boy, she'll take you to your grave

Tell you boy to use your head, apprentice out your days

You'll end up a nothing, buy, with cotton as your trade

Sun comes up like lightning over Tandle Hills grey



We are mill boys, stuck on the hill boys

Stuck in the mill boys, 'till our dying day

We are mill boys, stuck on the hill boys

Stuck in the mill boys, 'till our dying day



It's easy to see a poor boy's blues

When he's working every day

It's harder to be there in his shoes

He was born to be that way

ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA lyrics - Queen Of The Hours

Queen of the hours lies waiting for the wind to blow away the veil of time

Slowly now the threads of age are starting to unwind



(Chorus:)

Queen of the hours

Along, Along, Along the path of time, of time,

She is still

The clock shall tell the tale

When all is well, is well.



Black was the night that came in from the East and caused the land to sleep.

Riding on a storm, it carved a message in Isabella Creek.



(Chorus)



Dawn is the death wish night has passed away, it left the sacred flower,

Opened up the grave and bowed its life unto the Queen of Hours.

MARIANNE FAITHFULL lyrics - A Perfect Stranger

Someone who isn't like you and to waste it all.

Someone to be around,

Someone to have me hold when the deal goes down.

Didn't I say it would happen this way in the end?

Didn't I say it would happen this way in the end?



A perfect stranger is what it seems,

A perfect stranger, a crazy dream,

A crazy dream.



Find myself a perfect stranger to do for now,

Someone who isn't like you but knows why and how.

Someone to walk away,

Someone who knows the time to leave or to stay.

Isn't it sad, baby, we never have it that way?

Isn't it sad, baby, we never have it that way?



A perfect stranger is what he seems,

A perfect stranger, a crazy dream,

A crazy dream.



Find myself a perfect stranger to take me there

Someone who isn't like you but know why and where

Soemone who's not afraid

Someone who's blind to all the promises made.



How does it feel, baby, we shouldn't leave it this way

How does it feel, baby, we shouldn't leave it this way

How does it feel, baby, we shouldn't leave it this way Perfect stranger

How does it feel, baby, we shouldn't leave it this way Perfect stranger

How does it feel, baby, we shouldn't leave it this way Perfect stranger

How does it feel, baby, we shouldn't leave it this way Perfect stranger

How does it feel, baby, we shouldn't leave it this way Perfect stranger

How does it feel, baby, we shouldn't leave it this way Perfect stranger

How does it feel, baby, we shouldn't leave it...

TINA TURNER lyrics - I Can't Stand The Rain

(Ann Peebles, D. Bryant & B. Miller)



[Chorus:]

I can't stand the rain

Against my window

Bringing back sweet memories

I can't stand the rain

Against my window

Because he's not here with me



Hey window pane

Do you remember

How sweet it used to be

When we were together

Everything was so grand

Now that we're parted

There's one sound

That I just can't stand



[Chorus]



I can't stand the rain

Against my window

Bringing back sweet memories

I can't stand the rain

PATTI LABELLE lyrics - MM, MM, MM

You're driving me crazy

It's something I can't explain

Whatever you're doing to me

Why don't you do it again

I've never been so in love

Must've been sent from above

To fill my empty nights

Make everything alright

Your love is too good for words



[Chorus:]

Mm, mm, mm

Mm, mm, mm

Mm, mm, mm

Your love is everything



If I could imagine

The perfect man

It would be you

You bring out the woman in me

With everything that you do

I've never been so alive

Where have you been all my life

I love the way it feels

To have a man that's real

I'm so happy inside



[Chorus]



[Bridge:]

Anything you want from me

I will give you what you need

Just say the word

And its done

I know you're the one

Your kiss is like a drug to me

Love the way you're touching me

I'm addicted to you

And that thing that you do



[Chorus]

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN lyrics - You Can Look (But You Better Not Touch)

Yesterday I went shopping buddy down to the mall

Looking for something pretty I could hang on my wall

I knocked over a lamp before it hit the floor I caught it

A salesman turned around said, "boy, you break that thing you bought it".



You can look but you better not touch boy

You can look but you better not touch boy

Mess around and you'll end up in dutch boy

You can look but you better not, no you better not, no you better not touch



Well I came home from work and I switched on Channel 5

There was a pretty little girly lookin' straight into my eyes

Well I watched as she wiggled back and forth across the screen

She didn't get me excited she just made me feel mean



You can look but you better not touch boy

You can look but you better not touch boy

Mess around and you'll end up in dutch boy

You can look but you better not, no you better not, no you better not touch



Well I called up Dirty Annie on the telephone

I took her out to the drive-in just to get her alone

I found a lover's rendezvous, the music low, set to park

I heard a tappin' on the window and a voice in the dark



You can look but you better not touch boy

You can look but you better not touch boy

Mess around and you'll end up in dutch boy

You can look but you better not, no you better not, no you better not touch

COLOSSEUM II lyrics - Gemini And Leo

(Gary Moore/Jon Hiseman)



I'm told that Gemini and Leo

Are very, very strong.

No matter how hard I try,

I can't prove them wrong.

Faith in two people

Born in a certain time,

Water will turn to wine.



Our world is searchin' for the secret

Of our heavenly friend.

No matter how hard I try,

The searchin' has no end.

Whether we care or not,

Our lives are in their view.

The stars shine down on you.



But they keep sayin'

That it can't be done.

Happiness won't last for anyone.

Laughter means they're crying.

Every day of happiness

Means one of pain owing.



But they keep sayin'

That it can't be done.

Happiness won't last for anyone.

Laughter means they're crying.

Every day of happiness

Means one of pain owing.



I'm told that Gemini and Leo

Are very, very strong.

No matter how hard I try,

I can't prove them wrong.

Have faith in two people

Born in a certain time.

Have faith in two people

Born in a certain time.

Have faith in two people,

Have faith in two people,

Have faith in two people,

Water will turn to wine.

LITA FORD lyrics - Shot Of Poison

Gotta love for destruction

Gotta feel for danger tonight

Hey, Mr. Moonlight wontcha follow me down

I need the company

Everybody tells me you're no good

That's all right with me



Gimme one shot of poison

A little twist is all I need

One drop of your sweet poison

Sets me free

Come on baby, poison me



Gotta hunger for fatal attraction

I'm savin' all my passion for you

I gotta heartbreak habit that I can't kick

Only you can ease the pain

I'm a midnight animal tryin' to score

Before I go insane



Gimme me one shot of poison

A little twist is all I need

One drop of your sweet poison

Sets me free

One shot of poison

A little taste of paradise

One drop of your sweet poison

Satisfies

Give me one last kiss before I die



I'm flyin' high

On your love, tonight, baby



One shot of poison

A little twist is all I need

One drop of your sweet poison

Sets me free

One shot of poison

A little taste of paradise

One drop of your sweet poison

Satisfies



One shot of poison

Cme on, baby, poison me

One drop of your sweet poison

Sets me free

One shot

MODERN TALKING lyrics - Summer In December

Yo, yo, I wanna be close to you



Anytime that you go,

Girl I'm gonna miss you so

I wanna be close to you, close to you

With my head in the clouds

Oh my heart is crying loud

Oh I wanna be close to you, close to you

And the way you look tonight,

Make the stars shine bright

I wanna he close to you, close to you

Every step on my way, every word I will say

I wanna be close to you, close to you

And for me, it was like heaven

Everything will turn out fine

And for me, it's like a heaven

Baby give it some more time

L. L. COOL J lyrics - .357-Break It On Down

[LL Cool J]

That's right y'all this is the LL Cool J party

Move it, move it, move it, get on the floor baby

That's right, don't try to front like your fly

GET OUT THERE!



[LL Cool J]

To rappers I'm a nightmare on Elm Street

Hellafied hotter than heat, guess why the other's can't eat?

Cause I'm a carnivore and I can eat much more

than a fat man after a pack-a-jam

L. L.'s thicker than butter, well-known throw cutter

When I'm involved all the amateurs stutter

There's scared and can't believe that their whole crews

Ain't a rapper alive that can fill my shoes

I'm dope on a rope (???) water elope

I do the hustle and the shuffle and the roper dope

Cause I'm as hard as hard rock in the hard rock town

I gotta.357 and I break it on down



[LL Cool J]

Three hundred and fifty seven reasons

why you gotta get your butt on the floor right now

We ain't playin, we came here to get ill

Iller than ill, LL youknowI'msayin?



[LL Cool J]

Just like Ali Baba and the 40 thevz

So nasty you don't know whether to stay or leave

More fear then Evan Bluebeard I serve primrose

A picture of me is like a part of Michaelango's

I don't play the banjo will you ever understand yo

Servin I mean the matter how old I go Rambo

Cocks strong half a block wrong

Illy ill fire starter hittin harder than King Kong

Not a battle axe not one of the mill

Not easily knocked out or easily killed

Cause I'm as hard as hard rock in the hard rock town

I gotta.357 and I break it on down



[LL Cool J]

A hundred and ninety five pounds punk

More bounce to the ounce and I say what counts

KnowI'msayin?

Now get yourself on the floor

Stop actin like a sissy



[LL Cool J]

Boy, I'm better than better is, badder than badder is

I won't scare em or dare em I'll just splatter his

guts kick his butt while Bob is rockin the cuts

Wanna step in the ring with me you must be mushed

Now ices in a crisis afraid when he's ready or chasin when he's chasin

But filling when the scene I mean I'm icin and acin

Amateurs who like it can't hack it I attack it that's why I'm gonna crack it

The shell and the soul of little kids who can't roll

I told em, scold em, teach em and mold em

get paid ten knots at a time and then I fold em

I remember the blood and I remember what told em

I can, can't cause I'm down with E yet you have the audacity

to try and mess with him and me

Hypersonic is weak and Supersonic is wack

Sneak around at the minute like a Siamese cat

?Pellum? (1, 2, 3) catch twenty-two I'm H-A-R-D

I'm as hard as hard rock in the hard rock town

I gotta.357 and I break it on down



[LL Cool J]

Rock the beat now that can be arranged

Yo baby you look fine spread em

Yo homeboy get up against the wall put this in your pocket

Who is this?

Move it, move it, move it



[LL Cool J]

I'm a nappy, sappy crappy imitator of who

If I ever imitated it wouldn't be you, ooooh

You don't know so many have died when the LL growl was amplified

Get back better yet step back get dat

Like shaft in the Mack cause I'm mad and I'm black

I'm a perfect plan a good boyfriend

I'm the reason rap rules and the country out Cool J-A-M-E-S

Fresh as a cliche but so is my forte

This goes out whether the blues is old news

P's and Q's keep me in your shoes

and you're dissin me because I'm young and I'm strong

And cause I'm capable of makin a platinum LP

Wrong you was, you assumed I was all in

But boy is for ballin they'll never say I'm fallin

Callin all cars for the brother in black

L-E-L the Mack back bone of this track

I'm force full of force to put you on your back

Makin hit after hit while you sent for a contract

Hotter than hot now watch how hot I can get

Leavin rappers fee's dried and skimmer's dimmer's wet

I'm as hard as hard rock in the hard rock town

I gotta.357 and I break it on down



[LL Cool J]

Now the LL posse is now handin out speed knots

to all those who don't want to get busy

That's right baby get your body on the floor

Move it, move it

.357 at point blank range ain't nothin strange

you're havin a heart attack is at your back

Now listen to me bring it, bring it on, on down, down, down, down, down, down

JEFFERSON AIRPLANE lyrics - Law Man

(G. Slick)



Law man--I'm afraid you just walked in here at the wrong time

my old man's gun has never been fired

but there's a first time & this could be

this could be the first time



Law man

you know you look to be a lot younger than me and

I'd hate to shoot a baby

you've got a long way to go before you're old & slow

and it could be

it could be a good time if you change your mind

well I'm tired and sweet from making love

and it's just too late

you'll have to wait

bring your business around here in the morning



well I've heard your line

& you've heard mine

& I'm just too tired to take a side

bring your business around here in the morning

Don't you want to be easy look there

let some of the things you see go on by or

you can burn them into your brain go on home

Don't you see the children, they're just like you

they want everything to be fine but they let it slide

and the laughing lets you know that smiling breaks the rules



Law breaker you know it could be me

& if you had your way we'd all be down

under the face of a clock that's just too old to be wound

& you can see now the old hands won't move around

one way or the other,

fool card brother this could be,

this could be, the first time.

THE FLAMING LIPS lyrics - Superhumans

Once in a while, the time will come

To surrender everything you have to give

Once in a while, the time will come

To surrender everything you have to give



I would have given up for you

I know they're gonna bump and collide

I'm sure there's planets wrapped up with you

I've seen them kissing out in the hallway



Once in a while, the zebras run

To the spaceman and his gun, in the spider's web

Once in a while, the zebras run

To the spaceman and his gun, in the spider's web



I would have given up for you

I know they're gonna bump and collide

I'm sure there's plannets wrapped up with you

I've seen them kissing out in the hallway

THE ROLLING STONES lyrics - Stealing My Heart

(Jagger/Richards)



Well luck is expensive and freedom comes cheap

When love's on the menu, I don't drink so deep

Well I was just out there to have me some fun

But it's easier said than done



Mmm... we're standing so far apart

We had a string of false starts

I can't seem to stop it now

It grows and it grows and it grows



Stealing my heart, stealing my heart, stealing my heart

Yeah



My cards are on the table, you can look up my sleeves

You say you're honest but love is for thieves

Well I was just out there, chaste as a nun

But it's easier said than done



Yeah, like a shot in the dark

You shoot me right out the park

I can't seem to stop it

It grows and it grows and it grows



Stealing my heart, stealing my heart, stealing my heart

Yeah



Well you've got no money and I've got no charm

While you're in a panic, I stay so calm

Well I was just out there to have me some fun

But it's easier said than done



Yes, yeah, I though I was shot open

Yeah, you were a walk in the park

I though you were dinner, but you were the shark



Yeah, stealing, stealing my heart, yeah

Stealing, stealing, stealing, stealing my heart

Stealing my, stealing my heart

Stealing my heart, yeah

Come on, come one

Stealing my heart.....

CHRIS DE BURGH lyrics - The Risen Lord

Brother can you spare me food,

And give me a drink of wine,

I've been travelling on this road,

For such a long long time,

I have seen the wonders,

But most amazing of them all,

I believe I've seen the face,

Of the risen Lord;



On a night like this there came,

A stranger on the road,

I saw him stumble, heard him fall,

I helped him with his load,

The further that we walked,

Well the heavier it became,

And I believe I've felt the weight,

From another world...

BEE GEES lyrics - My World

Don't shed a tear for me

No, it's not your style

If you're not here by me

Then it's not worth while



Chorus:

My world is our world

And this world is your world

and your world is my world

and my world is your world is mine



I've been crying

I'm lonely

What do I do to have you stay

I've needed you

to cry on

I've written you nearly ev'ry day



Chorus:



Don't shed a tear for me

that's not your style

if you're not here by me

then it's not worth while



Chorus:

NEIL DIAMOND lyrics - Secret Love

Once I had a secret love

That lived within the heart of me

All too soon my secret love

Became impatient to be free



So I told the friendly star,

The way that dreamers often do

Just how wonderful you are

And why I'm so in love with you



Now I shout it from the highest hills,

Even told the golden daffodils

At last my hearts an open door,

And my secret love's no secret anymore



Now I shout it from the highest hills,

Even told the golden daffodils

At last my hearts an open door,

And my secret love's no secret anymore

STEVIE WONDER lyrics - Sugar

JIMMY REED lyrics - Over The Hump

(Al Smith)



Mother had a welfare rent

We lived in a freezin' up house

The only time we saw some meat

Was when we chopped 'em out



Hand me down clothes

Had holes in and out

Now I am a rich man

So happy I could shout



Over the hump, no more bump

Over the hump, no more bump

Now I am a rich man

No more bump for me



I once saw a woman, I thought that I could date

She backed to look at me and asked about my gig

I bought her a sweater, not knowin' what she think

She threw it back at me, now, now I can buy a mink



Over the hump, no more bump

Over the hump, no more bump

Now I am a rich man, no more bump for me



(I hear ya Jimmy)



I was twenty-one, went to buy a beer

The bartender looked at me, an' said "tramp get out-a here"

I took back my money, wiped the sweat from my face

Now I am so angry, I think I'll buy the place



Over the hump, no more bump

Over the hump, no more bump

Now I am a rich man, there's no more bump for me



(I hear ya fine)

ROY ORBISON lyrics - Come Back To Me (My Love)

(Orbison/Melson)



Bum bum bum da de da oh oh oh yeah yeah

Bum bum bum da de da ah come back to me my love

Come back to me



16 years ago today early one Sunday morn

Just before the break of day a cute little girl was born

From that very moment on her life's been gay and free

Laughing eyes and loving ways as sweet as she could be



Bum bum bum da de da oh oh oh yeah yeah

Bum bum bum da de da ah come back to me my love

Come back to me



We had a quarrel I can't forget the night I made her cry

Her tender heart just fell apart as she said good-bye

Now today is her birthday my baby's sweet 16

But someone else is in my place to hold my every dream

Bum bum bum da de da oh oh oh yeah yeah

Bum bum bum da de da ah come back to me my love

Come back to me

SANTANA lyrics - The Sensitive Kind

(J. J. Cale)



Don't take her for granted, she had

a hard time

Don't misunderstand her or play

with her mind

Treat her so gently, it will pay you

in time

You've gotta know she's the

sensitive kind



Tell her you love her each and

every night

You will discover she will treat

you right

If you believe, I know you will find

There ain't nothin' like the

sensitive kind



She gets so lonely waitin' for you

You are the only thing to help

her through

Don't take her for granted

She has a hard time

You got to know she's the

sensitive kind

You got to know she's the

sensitive kind

SHANE MACGOWAN AND THE POPES lyrics - St. John Of Gods

See the man

The crushed up man

With the crushed up Carrolls packet in his hand

Doesn't seem to see or care

Or even understand

And all he says is:



F yez all, F yez all, F yez all



Once he stood in a bar room brawl

With a broken bottle in his hand

Screaming:



F yez all, F yez all, F yez all, F yez all



The coppers came

Dragged him away from his crucified Lord

Beat him up in a meat wagon

And they stood him up in court

And all he had to say was:



F yez all, F yez all, F yez all, F yez all



St John Of Gods, St John Of Gods

St John Of Gods, St John Of Gods



See the man,

The crushed up man

With the crushed up Carrolls packet in his hand

Doesn't seem to see or care

Or even understand

And all he says is:



F yez all, F yez all, F yez all, F yez all



St John Of Gods, St John Of Gods

F yez all, F yez all

B. B. KING lyrics - Strange Things

Learn to love or leave me, either one you wanna do

Learn to love or leave me, either one you wanna do

Because strange things are happening and something may happen to you



Well, if you know you don't want me baby, why in the world would you let me be

Yes if you know you don't want me baby, tell me why would you let me be

Because it's better to live without you baby, than to live on in misery



Yeah, midnight finds me crying, oh daylight finds me crying too

Yes midnight finds me crying, daylight finds me crying too

You better straighten your mind pretty baby, because something may happen to you

LORETTA LYNN lyrics - Rose Garden

(Joe South)



I beg you pardon I never promised you a rose garden

Along with the sunshine there's gotta be a little rain sometimes

When you take you gotta give so live and let live or let go

I beg you pardon I never promised you a rose garden



I could promise you things like big diamond rings

But you don't find roses growin' on stalks of clover so you'd better think it over

When it's sweet talking you could make it come true

I would give you the world right now on a silver platter but what would it matter

So smile for a while and let's be jolly love shouldn't be so melancholy

Come along and share the good times while we can

I beg you pardon I never promised you a rose garden

[ steel ]

I could sing you a tune and promise you the moon

But if that's what it takes to hold you I'd just as soon let you go

But there's one thing I want you to know

You better look before you leap still water runs deep

And there won't always be someone there to pull you out

And you know what I'm talking about

So smile for a while and let's be jolly...

I beg you pardon I never promised you a rose garden

KANSAS lyrics - Icarus - Borne On Wings Of Steel

(Kerry Livgren)



Early in the morning sunlight

Soaring on the wings of dawn

Here I'll live and die with my wings in the sky

And I won't come down no more



Higher than a bird I'm flying

Crimson skies of ice and fire

Borne on wings of steel I have so much to feel

And I won't come down no more



Sail on, sail on, I will rise each day to meet the dawn

So high, so high

I've climbed the mountains of the sky

Without my wings you know I'd surely die

I found my freedom flyin' high

I've climbed the mountains of the sky



Floating on a cloud of amber

Searching for the rainbow's end

Earth so far below me,

I'm here alone, free

I can't come down no more

THE KINKS lyrics - In A Space

In a space allocated to me by the human race

Inhabiting this area until I die this space is occupied

I'm in a space leased by kind permission of the human race

Close up I am big but far away I'm small and hardly here at all

'Cause in a space out in space

We disappear without a trace



Now I'm out in inner space

And lookin' at the people. standing face to face

And filling up the space

Men and women boys and girls

There are so many people in the world

Thinkin' about the world

And all the people in it

And I'm staring at the stars

And into the infinite

In a world within a world

On a planet that's

Driftin' in a space



Seconds into minutes and minutes

Into hours and hours into days

And days into months and months into years

And years into decade tens into thousands

Thousands into millions, millions into billions

Billions into zillions and forever and forever



In a space allocated by the human race

Somewhere in outer space it's far away and I like it that way

Now I'm out in inner space

And lookin' at the people, standing face to face

And filling up the space

Men and women boys and girls

There are so many people in the world

Thinkin' about the world

And all the people in it

And I'm staring at the stars

And into the infinite

In a world within a world

On a planet that's

Driftin' in a space



In a space, in a space, in a space

Now I'm out in inner space

And lookin' at the people standing face to face

And filling up the space

On a planet that's

Driftin' in a space

B. B. KING lyrics - Got'em Bad

There's no doubt about it

A may as well shout about it

I got the blues

I got'em bad



Yes this awful feeling

When you don't have what you thought you had

Oh yesterday, yesterday I sang love songs

But today I got'em bad



Oh, I didn't know she would leave me

I didn't know she was gone

Well, at last she should've told me goodbye people

But she stole away while I was gone

Yes that's what makes me feel so sad people

Oh, and today I got'em bad



Oh, I could tell you much more people

But I think you already how I feel

Oh, I could tell you much, much, much more people

But I think you already how I feel

Yes, you know I'm hurt beyond explaining people

And it's all because I've got a dirty deal

GENTLE GIANT lyrics - Time To Kill

Rests where he's staying, nowhere he knows,

A place where nobody cares where he's straying or where he goes.

To find no-one in particular, footloose, adventure still,

No thoughts for reasons, he does all he's doing

Has time to kill and still he's killing the time.



Sundowner, drifting from place to place,

Where all he needs is the shelter from seasons he was to face,

No bounds or duties are his, never seeking to find an end.

For life goes on being life, time and fortune he needs no

Friends and yet he's killing the time.



Where does he come from what did he do,

You know the answers are his hopes and promises nothing new

With no regrets he goes on doing nothing.

Himself alone, but still he finds all the time isn't wasted,

His life his own and yet he's killing the time.



And with no questions then he finds his way

Tomorrow's never dawn only today.

Content within his time just drifts away

He finds his way

He finds his way



Sundowner, drifting from place to place,

Where all he needs is the shelter from seasons he was to face,

No bounds or duties are his, never seeking to find an end.

For life goes on being life, time and fortune he needs no

Friends and yet he's killing the time.



Where does he come from what did he do,

You know the answers are his hopes and promises nothing new

With no regrets he goes on doing nothing.

Himself alone, but still he finds all the time isn't wasted,

His life his own and yet he's killing the time.

ALISON KRAUSS AND UNION STATION lyrics - New Fool

(Sidney Cox)



Sad songs and teardrops will surely mend this broken heart

Time forgets these bitter things I feel

But your days are numbered

You'll learn your lesson well

When you finally play a heart that plays for real



There's a new fool somewhere waiting

For your old fashion heartbreak love affair

She'll see through your intentions

With each lie that you tell

And the old ways will go out with the new some way



Leaving was so easy

But old hands do make fancy moves

And I for one fell victim to your game

But someday, you'll see that cold hearts can be broken too

What goes round must come around your way



There's a new fool somewhere waiting

For your old fashion heartbreak love affair

She'll see through your intentions

With each lie that you tell

And the old ways will go out with the new some way

CHRIS DE BURGH lyrics - Crying And Laughing

Searchlights, rain on the road,

Waiting for the airport limousine,

Your time in this foreign land,

Is nearly over, I'll never forget how



Last night, after he called,

You held me like you'd never let me go,

But your eyes are happy now,

And you are beautiful, you're ready to leave me, Homeward, back to your world,

Back to the one who is there,

Go now, but go in love,

For it's the only way;



And you'll be crying, laughing,

Half a world away,

You'll be crying, laughing,

For the love we have,

When you go away... Long ride, holding her hand,

Looking all the words we cannot speak,

One mile to the boulevard,

And the aeroplane that's waiting to take you Homeward, back to your land,

Back to the one who is there,

Go now, but go in love,

For it's the only way;



And you'll be crying, laughing,

Half a world away,

You'll be crying, laughing,

For the love we have,

But you must go,

Crying, laughing,

Half a world away,

You'll be crying, laughing,

Don't forget me love,

When you go away...

THE MANHATTAN TRANSFER 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 alligators 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.

GARY MOORE lyrics - Ball And Chain

(Gary Moore/Cass Lewis/Darrin Mooney)



Well, my baby gone and left me,

Leavin' on that mornin' train.

Well, my baby gone and left me,

Leavin' on that mornin' train.

Said she was tired of livin',

Livin' with a ball and chain.

M-hm.



Well, my baby gone and left me,

Says she won't be back again.

Well, my baby gone and left me,

Says she won't be back again.

And I just can't let her go,

My memory's like a ball and chain.

Yes, it is!

Ball and chain.



Well, my baby left this mornin',

Says she won't be back again.

My baby left this mornin',

Says she won't be back again.

But I tell you somethin',

My heart's like a ball and chain.



Well, I found my babe this mornin',

She won't laugh at me no more.

Found my baby there this mornin',

She won't laugh at me no more again.

And I shot her with my pistol,

Now I wear a ball and chain.

Yeah, ball and chain.



Ball and chain.

Ball and chain.

Ball and chain.

CHRIS ISAAK lyrics - Lost Our Way

We started walkin'

And then we learned to run

I still don't know what

We're Runnin' From

You said you loved me

But you couldn't stay



Oh We lost our way

In California

Down in LA

They Never warn ya



It just all goes wrong,

It all turned bad

You said that love

Was a funny thing

And you'd move faster

Without a ring



Oh we lost our way

In California

Down in LA

Nobody warns ya

It just all goes wrong,

It all turns bad



We searched for something

We could not find

And somehow somewhere

Love got left behind



Yeah we lost our way

In California

Down in LA

They barely warn ya

It all goes wrong

Oh it all turns bad



I don't look back

Cause it hurts too much

To see everything that

We just gave up



Oh we lost our way

In California

Down in LA

Nobody warns ya

Oh We Lost Our Way

In California



And it all went wrong

It all turned bad

It all went wrong

It all turned bad

TOM WAITS lyrics - Innocent When You Dream (Barroom)

The bats are in the belfry

the dew is on the moor

where are the arms that held me

and pledged her love before

and pledged her love before



CHORUS



It's such a sad old feeling

the fields are soft and green

it's memories that I'm stealing

but you're innocent when you dream

when you dream

you're innocent when you dream



Running through the graveyard

we laughed my friends and I

we swore we'd be together

until the day we died

until the day we died



CHORUS



I made a golden promise

that we would never part

I gave my love a locket

and then I broke her heart

and then I broke her heart



CHORUS

BESSIE SMITH lyrics - Cake Walking Babies From Home

(Chris Smith / Harold Troy / Clarence Williams)



Cake walkers may come, cake walkers may go,

But I wanna tell you 'bout a couple I know

High steppin' pair, Debonair

When it comes for bus'ness not a soul can compare



Here they come, look at 'em, demonstratin',

Goin' some, ain't they syncopatin'?

Talk of the town, teasin' brown pickin' 'em up and layin' 'em down

Dancin' fools ain't they demonstratin'?

They're a class of their own



Now the only way to win is to cheat 'em,

You may tie 'em but you'll never beat 'em

Strut your stuff, they're the cake walkin' babies from home

Strut your stuff, strut your stuff, cake walkin' babies from home



Here they come, look at 'em, syncopatin',

Goin' some, ain't they demonstratin'?

Talk of the town, teasin' brown pickin' 'em up and layin' 'em down

Dancin' fools ain't they syncopatin'?

They're a class of their own



Now the only way to win is to cheat 'em,

You may tie 'em but you'll never beat 'em

Strut your stuff, they're the cake walkin' babies form home

Strut your stuff, strut your stuff, cake walkin' babies from home

NANCI GRIFFITH lyrics - Shaking Out The Snow

(Nanci Griffith and James Hooker)



Snowing - through South Dakota I once drove

With the wife of my best pal

Who cloaks her heart from cold with gold

It was well into the winter

Of December in the cold

Off to see Mount Rushmore staring through the snow

And to gamble with the boys of Deadwood

As we drove



[Chorus:]

Snowing - I am shaking out the snow

Oh, the cold that is within my heart

I'm gonna shake out all that snow

Riding years ago

Through those South Dakota roads

When the laughter could thaw Enderby

And shake me from the snow

Like a hurricane through Florida

I'll shake out all this snow



Snowing - one Christmas morn' when I was four

My brother told me it was warm

So a swimsuit I adorned

Then he sent me to the weather

And behind me locked the doors

A four year old in a swim suit and brand new plastic skates

Out into the snow to catch this cold

I cannot shake



[Chorus]



Snowing - yeah, it snows in Tennessee

The place where I now make my life

Is still snowing down on me

I'd prefer Antarctica

Perhaps the land of Enderby

Where the weather is my heart and I'm closer to the sea

Since I cannot ever seem to shake the snow

Out of me



[Chorus]



And all across the states you see the tractors and the plows

Clearing out the roads

And the bridges north and south

Something they did learn

And I just don't seem to know

How to clear a passage

And shake out all the snow

THE KINKS lyrics - Attitude

You go down the pub

You wear make up

And old dads trousers

Why don't you tidy up

You talk like a docker but you act like a queer

You drink champagne then complain it's too dear

You try so hard not to follow any trends

Then you cry in your beer and say you've got no friends

But is it any wonder that you've got no friends

But it's not the make up

Or the way you dress

It's not your appearance, that they all detest

It's not your manners, that you gotta improve

Ooooo-it's your attitude.



[Chorus]

Attitude, Oo Oo Oo

Your attitude

Attitude, Oo Oo Oo

Your attitude



Take off your head phones

Hear what's going on

You can't live in a time zone

You've gotta move on

But before you get there

There's one thing you've gotta do

Oh change your attitude

It's your attitude

It's your attitude



[Chorus]

Attitude, Oo Oo Oo

Your attitude

Attitude, Oo Oo Oo

Your attitude



The '80s are here, I know cuz I'm staring right at them

But you're still waiting for 1960 to happen



You might have the illness, but you've got the cure

You've got the answer, you will endure

You're the only person that's gonna pull you through

Ooh, with your attitude



[Chorus]

Attitude, Oo Oo Oo

Your attitude

Attitude, Oo Oo Oo

Your attitude



You gotta learn to be positive, it's your only chance

You mustn't be so defensive, you gotta join in the dance

But it isn't your dancing that you've gotta improve

Ooh, it's your attitude.



[Chorus]

Attitude, Oo Oo Oo

Your attitude

Attitude, Oo Oo Oo

Your attitude



It's all the music

It's all in your brain

You've used all the old licks

Now it's all gotta change.

Change your attitude

It's your attitude

Attitude

MARILLION lyrics - The Uninvited Guest

(Helmer/Hogarth/Kelly/Mosley/Rothery/Trewavas)



You may not recall the moment that you asked me

But your invitation was clear

You'll pretend you've never met me but it's far to late

Now I'm here

Cause I'm the one who knows what scares you

I'm the one who loves you best

I'm the thirteenth at the table

I'm the uninvited guest

I'm the Banquo at your banquet

I'm the cuckoo in your nest

I'm your fifteen-stone first-footer

I'm the uninvited guest



I was there when you said insincere "I love you's"

To a woman who wasn't your wife

And I fronted you the money

That you ran away and blew

On the biggest regret of your life



Cause I'm the one who knows what scares you

I'm the who loves you best

I'm the thirteenth at the table

I'm the uninvited guest

I'm the Banquo at your banquet

I'm the cuckoo in your nest

I'm your New Year's resolution

I'm the uninvited guest



I'm the face you hoped you'd never see

But always knew you would

I'm the one thing you knew you shouldn't do

But did because you could



I'm the evil in your bloodstream

I'm the rash upon your skin

And you made a big mistake all right

The day you let me in

And you can fly to the other side of the world

You know you'll only find

I've reserved the seat behind you

We can talk about old times



Cause I'm the one who knows what scares you

I'm the who loves you best

I'm the thirteenth at the table

I'm the uninvited guest

I'm the Banquo at your banquet

I'm the cuckoo in your nest

I'm your fifteen-stone first-footer

I'm the uninvited guest

Let me in!

I'm your New Year's resolution

I'm the uninvited guest

CARPENTERS lyrics - All Of My Life

All of my life I have been waiting

For just one boy

And all of my life I have been waiting

For all the joy of having



(*) Someone that I can call my own

Who'll come to my side when I am all alone

And now you are here and I've found a whole new world

Has opened for me

A world filled with joy

A world filled with all your love

Eternally



(**) For you say you're mine

You'll love me all the time

Night and day

Come what may, and all of my life

You'll be my own



I just want



Repeat (*)

Repeat (**)

RUN-D. M.C. lyrics - Papa Crazy

Papa...P-P-P-P-Papa

Papa was...Papa Crazy

Papa...Papa Crazy



Now Papa don't give a damn

Or saying thank you ma'am

Eating fillet mignon

Lobster tails and crab

He eats the finest (food)

He ain't the kindest (dude)

And then to put it to you straight

He's crazy, lazy and rude

His temper's boiling hot

Whether you like him or not

Not to mention about his mansion

And his big old yacht

He never gave me a dime

Or even spent some time

And that's why I had to cold

Write this rhyme about



Papa...Papa Crazy

Papa was...Crazy

Papa...Papa Crazy

Papa was...Crazy



Now papa living like a rich man up on the hill

Yeah, my daddy gotta Caddy, funky fresh Seville

He got diamonds (and furs), for his (and hers)

And a cat in the hat that just chills and purrs

Now he eats and grubs, then rocks beats at clubs

While mamma making nuthin' while she sweeps and rubs

You want to know about his dough, how he got paid

Well, the labs, (the ass), got sprayed (and laid) because



Papa...Papa Crazy

Papa was...Crazy

Papa...Papa Crazy

Papa was...Crazy



Papa hang with (crazy) people (crazy) times of the night

Running 'round with (crazy) women, b-b-b-but that's alright because



Papa...Papa Crazy

Papa...Papa Crazy

Papa was...Crazy

Papa...Papa Crazy



Yo Run my papa was crazy, crazy as can be

And my mamma said that he left me when I was three

But my mamma never told me he was out of his mind

Drinking wine all the time, never earning a dime

He didn't care where he slept, or where his clothes where kept

He was so in debt somebody broke his neck

And on the day that papa died, they wrote on his grave

That papa died a bum, but he got brave because



Papa...Papa Crazy

Papa was...Crazy

Papa was...Papa Crazy

Papa was...Crazy



Papa...Papa Crazy

Papa Crazy

Papa...Papa Crazy

Papa Crazy



Papa...Papa Crazy

Papa Crazy

Papa...Papa Crazy

Papa Crazy

MICHAEL JACKSON lyrics - Up Again

(Freddie Perren / Christine Yarian)



Into each life some rain falls

Then comes the snow

But after the snow

The flowers will grow

Girl when my life got stormy

You stayed for the ride

You stayed my side

You make the sun shine



I'm up again I never let you down

Nothing's ever gonna stop me now

Up again I never let you down

I love you



This Humpty Dumpty's lucky

He's had his fall

But after it all

He brushed himself off

Knowing how much you loved me

I made one more try

I reached for the sky

And I made it this time



I'm up again I never let you down

Nothing's ever gonna stop me now

Up again I never let you down

I love you

BIG BILL BROONZY lyrics - Just A Dream

(Big Bill Broonzy)



It was a dream, Lord, what a dream I had on my mind

It was a dream, Lord, what a dream I had on my mind

Now, and when I woke up, baby, not a thing there could I find



I dreamed I went out with an angel, and had a good time

I dreamed I was satisfied, and nothin' to worry my mind

But that was just a dream, Lord, what a dream I had on my mind,

Now, and when I woke up, baby, not an angel could I find



I dreamed I caught the horses, and caught the number too

I dreamed I won so much money, I didn't know what to do

But that was just a dream, Lord, what a dream I had on my mind,

Now, and when I woke up, baby, not a penny there could I find



Dreamed I was in the White House, sittin' in the president's chair

I dreamed he's shaking my hand, and he said "Bill, I'm so glad you're here"

But that was just a dream, Lord, what a dream I had on my mind

Now, and when I woke up, baby, not a chair there could I find



I dreamed I got married, and started me a family

I dreamed I had ten children, and they all looked just like me

But that was just a dream, Lord, what a dream I had on my mind

Now, and when I woke up, baby, not a child there looked like mine

MODERN TALKING lyrics - Blue Eyed Couloured Girl

It's 5 o'clock, I think of you

Live my life without you, and I' feeling blue

I told you lies, love fades away

Oh i loved you baby but I didn't say

It's 5 o'clock, a lonely night

And I just remember we were side by side

I made mistakes, you went away

And now I know the words, that I didn't say



How can I fall (fall) in love (in love)

With a blue eyed coloured baby girl

How can you tell me, just tell me, it's forever, oh no

How can I fall in love

With the girl with the golden hair

How can you tell me, we can't be together, oh no



The night is gone, I couldn't sleep

I saw the old videos, I'll always keep

Day in day out, I'm missing you

Is there just a little chance, what can I do?

The night is gone, I watched a star

Oh I have to face the future, you're so far

Some lies are true!

Can we stay friends,

Tell me baby when will I see you again

THE RAMONES lyrics - This Business Is Killing Me

I'm sick to death

I'm a nervous wreck

This business is killing me

You

This business is killing me

You know

It's really killing me

Yeah



Oh no oh no oh no

Oh no oh-no oh no

Oh no oh-no oh no

On no ho



This business is killing me

And so they say



Run around, run around

Love giving you

The run around

It really makes you crazy

Run around, run around

Love giving you

The run around



Oh no oh no oh no

Oh no oh no oh no

Oh no oh no oh no

On no ho



This business is killing me

And so they say

Hey, hey

You work, you work

You write all night

Until the early morning light



Can't please all the people



All the time

All the people

All the time

But then they don't

Please me



Well I can't take it no more

No, I can't take it no more



Run around, run around



Well I can't take it no more

No, I can't take it

BARRY MANILOW lyrics - Sailing

[Originally by Christopher Cross]



It's not far down to paradise

At least it's not for me

And if the wind is right you can sail away

And find tranquility

The canvas can do miracles

Just you wait and see

Believe me



It's not far to never never land

No reason to pretend

And if the wind is right you can find the joy

Of innocence again

The canvas can do miracles

Just you wait and see

Believe me



Sailing

Takes me away

To where I've always heard it could be

Just a dream and the wind to carry me

And soon I will be free



Fantasy

It gets the best of me

When I'm sailing

All caught up in the reverie

Every word is a symphony

Won't you believe me



It's not far back to sanity

At least it's not for me

And when the wind is right you can sail away

And find serenity

The canvas can do miracles

Just you wait and see

Believe me

BRIAN WILSON lyrics - That's Not Me

I had to prove that I could make it alone

But that's not me

I wanted to show how independent I'd grown now

But that's not me



I could try to be big in the eyes of the world

What matters to me is what I could be to just one girl



I'm a little bit scared

Cause I haven't been home in a long time

You needed my love

And I know that I left at the wrong time

My folks when I wrote them

Told 'em what I was up to said that's not me



I went through all kinds of changes

Took a look at myself and said that's not me

I miss my pad and the places I've known

And every night as I lay there alone I will dream



I once had a dream

So I packed up and split for the city

I soon found out that my lonely life wasn't so pretty

I'm glad I went now I'm that much more sure that we're ready



I once had a dream

So I packed up and split for the city

VONDA SHEPARD lyrics - Searchin' My Soul

(Vonda Shepard)



I've been down this road walkin' the line

That's painted by pride

And I have made mistakes in my life

That I just can't hide



Oh I believe I am ready for what love has to bring

Got myself together, now I'm ready to sing



I've been searchin' my soul tonight

I know there's so much more to life

Now I know I can shine a light

To find my way back home



One by one, the chains around me unwind

Every day now I feel that I can leave those years behind



Oh I've been thinking of you for a long time

There's a side of my life where I've been blind and so...



I've been searchin' my soul tonight

I know there's so much more to life

Now I know I can shine a light

Everything gonna be alright

I've been searchin' my soul tonight

Don't wanna be alone in life

Now I know I can shine a light

To find my way back home



Baby I been holding back now my whole life

I've decided to move on now

Gonna leave all my worries behind



Oh I belive I am ready for what love has to give

Got myself together now I'm ready to live



I've been searchin' my soul tonight

I know there's so much more to life

Now I know I can shine a light

Everything gonna be alright

I've been searchin' my soul tonight

Don't wanna be alone in my life

Now I know I can shine a light

To find my way back home

STEVIE WONDER lyrics - Cryin' Through The Night

Yes I am cryin'

I got the blues and I don't know why

Yes I am cryin'

I got the blues, I'm so dissatisfied

'Cause I've been cryin' through the night

Tears on my pillow

And I have been cryin through the night

Weeping like a weeping willow

From cryin' through the night

Hear me cryin' through the night



I am lonely, downhearted and sad

'Cause I've lost the best woman that I ever had

To a friend of mine



Just can't figure out how it could be

That somebody like him could take her away from me

And it's on my mind

Nearly all the time



Yes I am cryin'

I got the blues and I don't know why

Yes I am cryin'

I got the blues, I'm so dissatisfied

'Cause I've been cryin' through the night

Tears on my pillow

And I have been cryin through the night

Weeping like a weeping willow

From cryin' through the night

Hear me cryin' through the night

Now I know just how best friends can be

'Cause he made sure you knew your best was with me

And it's on my mind



Here's a lesson much greater that wealth

Keep your business to you, yourself and no one else

And your smiling eyes

Won't be cryin' like mine

Yes I'm cryin'

I got the blues and I don't know why

Yes I'm cryin'

I got the blues, I'm so dissatisfied

'Cause I've been cryin' through the night

Tears on my pillow

And I have been cryin' through the night

Weeping like a weeping willow

From cryin' through the night

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh

I'm like a weeping willow

From cryin' through the night

Oh, Oh, yeah

Hear me cryin', cryin', I'm cryin', cryin'

I'm cryin' baby, cryin' baby yeah

Even a fool can tell

That so many tears sho' enough done fell

And pretty soon before you know

I'll have enough tears to fill a water well

Hear me cryin' through the night

Oh yeah, cryin' through the night

[Break]

And it's on my mind

Nearly all the time



Yes I'm cryin'

I got the blues and I don't know why

Yes I'm cryin'

I got the blues, I'm so dissatisfied

'Cause I've been cryin' through the night

Tears on my pillow

And I have been cryin' through the night

Weeping like a weeping willow

From cryin' through the night

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh

I'm weeping like a weeping willow

Oh, Oh, cryin' tears, cryin' tears

Through the night

THE ROLLING STONES lyrics - Hand Of Fate

(Jagger/Richards)



The hand of fate is on me now

It pick me up and knock me down

I'm on the run, I'm prison bound

The hand of fate is heavy now

I killed a man, I'm highway bound

The wheel of fortune keeps turning round

Turning round, turning round

I should have known it was a one horse town



My sweet girl was once his wife

He had papers the judge had signed

The wind blew hard, it was stormy night

He shot me once, but I shot him twice

The hand of fate is on me now

It pick me up and it kicked me right down

Kicked me right down

Kicked me right down



I had to save her life

Yeah, I gunned him twice

Yeah, and I watched him die, watch out boy

Yeah, I watched him die



He was a barroom man, the violendt kind

He had no love for that gal of mine

Then one day in a drinking bout

He swore he'd throw me right of town

The hand of fate is on me now

I shot that man I put him underground

I put him underground

Yes I did



I'm on the run, I hear the hounds

My luck is up, my chips are down

So goodbye baby, so long now

Wish me luck, I'm going to need it child

The hand of fate is on me now

Yeah it's too late

Too late baby, too late now

The hand of fate is on me now

The hand of fate is heavy now



It pick you up and knock you down

ERASURE lyrics - Be My Baby

Ooooh, Ooooh

Ooooh, Ooooh



Ooooh there could be love in your eyes

I could be loving you deep my baby

Ooooh there could be love in your soul

I wanna feel the emotion



Ooooh there could be love in your heart

I want to feel it so deep down baby

Ooooh I could love you so bad

I want to give you devotion



Oh what's the matter with me now, baby

Feelings are mixed up inside

Come along and be mine only, child



You'd better be careful

Or you might just get what you are looking for

Now I'm in chains

Not exactly what i'm looking for



Ooooh, Ooooh



Ooooh I'm putting magic aside

I love the look in your eyes now baby

Ooooh it tells me you're mine

I want to dive in your ocean



Oh what's the matter with me now, baby

Feelings are mixed up inside

Come along and be mine only, child



You'd better be careful

Or you might just get what you are looking for

Now I'm in chains

Not exactly what i'm looking for



Ooooh, Ooooh

Ooooh, Ooooh

Ooooh, Ooooh



You'd better be careful

Or you might just get what you are looking for

Now I'm in chains

Not exactly what i'm looking for



You'd better be careful

Or you might just get what you are looking for

Now I'm in chains

Not exactly what i'm looking for

U2 lyrics - Elevation

High, higher than the sun

You shoot me from a gun

I need you to elevate me here



A corner of your lips

Is the orbit of your hips

Eclipse

You elevate my soul



I've got no self control

Been living like a mole now

Going down, excavation

Higher now, in the sky

You make me feel like I can fly

So high

Elevation



A star

Lit up like a cigar

Strung out like a guitar

Maybe you can educate my mind



Explain all these controls

Can't sing but I've got soul

The goal is elevation



A mole

Digging in a hole

Digging up my soul now

Going down, excavation



Higher now

In the sky

You make me feel like I can fly

So high

Elevation



Love

Lift me out of these blues

Won't you tell me something true

I believe in you



A mole

Digging in a hole

Digging up my soul now

Going down, excavation



Higher now

In the sky

You make me feel like I can fly

So high

Elevation



Elevation

Elevation

Elevation

Elevation

SHOCKING BLUE lyrics - Oh Lord

(Robbie van Leeuwen)



Oh Lord, blow the cold wind out of my life.

I need love, love sweet love,

I need just a little bit now.



Hard legs and stormy eyes,

[...] lips to ease my pain,

Rough me through that lonesome night,

Don't let me hope in vain.



Make it alright, alright, alright,

Make it alright, alright, alright,

Make it alright, alright, alright,

Make it alright, alright, alright.



Oh Lord, blow the cold wind out of my life.

I need love, love sweet love,

I need just a little bit now.



Crazy arms to hold me tight

Is what I want to get me by.

I wait for a baby in jeans,

Let me have my sweety pie.



Make it alright, alright, alright,

Make it alright, alright, alright,

Make it alright, alright, alright,

Make it alright, alright, alright.



Oh Lord, blow the cold wind out of my life.

I need love, love sweet love,

I need just a little bit now.



Oh Lord, blow the cold wind out of my life.

Oh Lord, blow the cold wind out of my life.

Oh Lord, blow the cold wind out of my life.

DIO lyrics - Stand Up And Shout

It's the same old song

You've gotta be somewhere at sometime

They never let you fly



It's like broken glass

You get cut before you see it

So open up your eyes



You've got desire

So let it out

You've got the fire

Stand up and shout-shout



You've got wings of steel

But they never really move you

You only seem to crawl



You've been nailed to the wheel

But never really turning

You know you've got to want it all



You've got desire

So let it out

You've got the fire

Stand up and shout



You are the strongest chain

And not just some reflection

So never hide again



You are the driver

You own the road

You are the fire go on explode



You've got desire

So let it out

You've got the power

Stand up and shout

THE MCAULEY SCHENKER GROUP lyrics - Anytime

(S, Mann/R, McAuley)



Blow a kiss from your hand

I'll catch it 'fore it hits the ground

Cry a little for our fears Baby! Baby!

I'm so scared There's something wrong

I hid you in the corner Of my empty room

Never really cared 'til now

Not standin' in the corner for me Anymore

You've done your time

Pass your sentence and I'll pass mine

And when my time is through Can I still come home to you



Anytime Anytime you want me

Anytime Anytime you're lonely

You just have to call, 'Cos you know I'll be there

Anytime Anytime you need me

Anytime Anytime maybe you're dreamin'

Wakin' up all alone Your heart is screamin'



I know I caused you so much pain

I promise that I'll never hurt you again

Even though the scars remain

With a little time I know we can win

Can't stop this fire

Lost control over my desire

It burns for you Like it always used to do



Anytime Anytime you want me

Anytime Anytime you're lonely

You just have to call, 'Cos you know I'll be there

Anytime Anytime you need me

Anytime Anytime maybe you're dreamin'

Wakin' up all alone Your heart is screamin'



And after the war is over

And all the fighting's through

Can I make my peace with you

I wanna come home to you



Anytime Anytime you want me

Anytime Anytime you're lonely

You just have to call, 'Cos you know I'll be there

Anytime Anytime you need me

Anytime Anytime maybe you're dreamin'

Wakin' up all alone Your heart is screamin'

LYNYRD SKYNYRD lyrics - Life's Lessons

MMMMMmmmmmm...



I listen, and still I haven't heard

Tell me what is the word

And if I ever heard it would it be clear as water

Oh tears run down your face

Reflects the human race

We're all caught up with winnin' losin time and space



Life's lessons

So you think you know it all

But you're headin' for a fall

Ooh to make it back again

You'll have to crawl and step back

Take a look around

Are your feet still on the ground

Can we find you in the section of lost and found



Never think you got it figured out

'Cause when you do you begin to doubt

It's time for you to open your eyes



Will we look back and see what we've done

Will we be proud or ashamed of what we've become

Will we realize we all share one fate

Or is this another life's lesson... Too late



OOohhh...



Never think you've got it figured out

'Cause when you do you begin to doubt

It's time for you to open your eyes



OOohhh...



Will we look back and see what we've done

Will we be proud or ashamed of what we've become

Will we realize we all share one fate

Is this another life's lesson... Too late



Will we look back and see what we've done

OOohhh...OOohhh...

Will we realize we all share one fate

OOOohhhh life's lessons

OOohhh...OOohhh...OOohhh yeah life's lessons

Ooohh... life's lessons



Will we look back and see what we've done

Will we realize we all share one fate

TALKING HEADS lyrics - Pulled Up

Mommy, Daddy, come and look at me now

I'm a big man in a great big town

Years ago who would believe it's true

Goes to show what a little faith can do



I was complaining, I was down in the dumps

I feel so strong now 'cause you pulled me up!

Pull me up up up up up up up up



I slipped, and I got pulled

Pulled up, I tripped, and then you pulled,

you pulled me up

I slipped, and I got pulled,

Pulled up, I slipped, and then you pulled,

you pulled me up pull me up pull me up...

Pulled me up up up up up up up up



I drift away to another land

Sleeping dreaming such a simple thing

I think of things that I might be

I see my name go down in history



I was complaining, I was down in the dumps

I feel so string now 'cause you pulled me up!

Pull me up up up up up up up up

I slipped, and I got pulled,

pulled up, I tripped, and then you pulled,

you pulled me up

I tripped, and I got pulled

Pulled up, I slipped, and then you pulled

you pulled me up! Pulled me up up, Pulled me up...

Pulled me up up up up up up up up



I got up

'cause you pulled me up

I stood up

'cause you pulled me up

I got up

And that was because you pulled me up

I got up

In a little while you pulled me up

Pull me up up up up, up up up up!

Pull me up up up up up up up up!



I cast a shadow on the living-room wall

Dark and savage with a profile so sharp

Keep that wonderful food on the table

There's really no hurry I'll eat in a while



I was complaining, I was down in the dumps

I feel so strong now 'cause you pulled me up!

Pull me up up up up up up up up!

I slipped, and I got pulled

Pulled up, I tripped, and then you pulled,

you pulled me up

I slipped, and I got pulled

Pulled Up, I slipped,

And then you pulled, you pulled me up!

Pull me up...Pull me up...Watch out!

Pull me up up up up up up up up!

Pull me up up up up up up up up!

Pull me up up up up up up up up!

RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS lyrics - Tiny Dancer

Yelled: Here's a song

Here's a little punk rock song for you

A little punk rock called

I think it was written by the Ramones

In the early 70's

Maybe before they started

You know, when it was really hard core back in the old days

Remember?



Flea,

I could have sworn this was the Dead Kennedys



No no no no no

I think it was Sham 69



No, this is the Buzzcocks



You idiot, you worthless peon

Don't you know this is one of the

It must have been, um

The Sex Pistols



No, this is Non Non Non



Hey, it was the Church or the Weirdoz maybe



Hold me closer tiny dancer

Count the headlights on the highway

Lay me down in sheets of linen

You've had a busy day today

GEORGE STRAIT lyrics - Better Rain

Baby, what do you say what love comes down on you

Rainin' the blues on you

Like it's never gonna end on you

And all your dreams like leaves in the gutter go floatin' b

No, baby, I don't know why all God's children cry

I'll miss your skin, as golden as your wheatfield hair

And where you go I hope you find out there



A better rain

The kind that comes in off the coast and paints the sky

And lets you know that God's alive

A better rain

That'll wash me from your eyes so you can smile again

And be all right again

In a better rain



Someday is gonna find you in a sweeter place

Long after time has earsed

All the words like razor blades

You'll remember you and me before the flood

Once upon a time in love, a beautiful us

I can see you on some stretch of sand

Spinnin' round in circles barefoot dancin' in



A better rain

That'll leave behind a rainbow in the sky

And lets you know that God's alive

A better rain

That'll wash me from your eyes so you can smile again

And be all right again

In a better rain



A better rain

That'll leave behind rainbow in the sky

Lets you know that God's alive

In a better rain

A better rain

ABBA lyrics - Watch Out

You move like a flame of fire

your eyes like a flash of lightning

the answer to all desire

and I'm gonna tame you, wild thing



You'd better watch out

I said you'd better watch out

Watch out!

Anywhere you go I'll find you

Watch out!

I'll be staying close behind you

and I'm tired of waiting

yes it's driving me crazy

and my patience is fading

oo, you'd better watch out

I said you'd better watch out



It's been kind of funny lately

you act like I was a stranger

I think you begin to hate me

but then you're a girl in danger



You'd better watch out

oo, I said you'd better watch out

Watch out!

Anywhere you go I'll find you

Watch out!

I'll be staying close behind you

and I'm tired of waiting

yes it's driving me crazy

and my patience is fading

so you'd better watch out

yes I said you'd better watch out



And I'm tired of waiting

yes it's driving me crazy

and my patience is fading

I said you'd better watch out

oh girl you'd better watch out

ah, you'd better watch out

oo, ah, you'd better watch out

RANDY NEWMAN lyrics - Harps And Angels

Hasn't anybody seen me lately

I'll tell you why

Hasn't anybody seen me lately

I'll tell you why

I caught something made me so sick

That I thought that I would die

And I almost did too

First my knees begin to tremble

My heart begin to pound

First my knees begin to tremble

My heart begin to pound

It was arrhythmic and out of tune

I lost my equilibrium

And fell face down upon the ground

As I lay there on that cold pavement

A tear ran down my face

'Cause I thought I was dying

You boys know I'm not a religious man

But I sent a prayer out just in case

You never know

Lo and behold almost immediately

I had reason to believe my prayer had been heard in a very special place

'Cause I heard this sound

Ooooh

Yes

Ooooh

Yes, it was harps and angels

Harps and angels coming near

I was too sick to roll over and see them

But I could hear them singing ever so beautifully in my ear

Then the sound began to subside

And they sounded like background singers

And a voice come down from the heavens above

It was a voice full of anger from the Old Testament

And a voice full of love from the New One

And the street lit up like it was the middle of the day

And I lay there quiet and listened to what that voice had to say

He said, "You ain't been a good man

You ain't been a bad man

But you've been pretty bad

Lucky for you this ain't your time

Someone very dear to me has made another clerical error

And we're here on a bit of a wild goose chase

But I want to tell you a few things

That'll hold you in good stead when it is your time

So you better listen close

I'm only going to say this once

When they lay you on the table

Better keep your business clean

'Fore they lay you on the table

Better keep your business clean

Don't want no back stabbing, ass grabbing

You know exactly what I mean

Alright girls - we're outta here"

Ooooh

"Encore. Encore."

Ooooh

(He spoke French)

"Tres bien

Encore"

And off they went into the night

Almost immediately I felt better

And I come round to see you boys

'Cause you know we ain't living right

And while it was fresh

I wanted to tell you what he told me

He said, "When they lay you on the table

Better keep your business clean

When they lay you on the table

Better keep your business clean

Else there won't be no harps and angels coming for you

It'll be trombones, kettle drums, pitchforks and tambourines"

Sing it like they did for me one time

Ooooh - yes

Ooooh - beautiful

Wish I spoke French

So actually the main thing about this story is for me

There really is an afterlife

And I hope to see all of you there

Let's go get a drink
