LOREENA MCKENNITT lyrics - The Mummers' Dance

(Loreena McKennitt)



When in the springtime of the year

When the trees are crowned with leaves

When the ash and oak, and the birch and yew

Are dressed in ribbons fair



When owls call the breathless moon

In the blue veil of the night

The shadows of the trees appear

Amidst the lantern light



We've been rambling all the night

And some time of this day

Now returning back again

We bring a garland gay



Who will go down to those shady groves

And summon the shadows there

And tie a ribbon on those sheltering arms

In the springtime of the year



The songs of birds seem to fill the wood

That when the fiddler plays

All their voices can be heard

Long past their woodland days



And so they linked their hands and danced

Round in circles and in rows

And so the journey of the night descends

When all the shades are gone



"A garland gay we bring you here

And at your door we stand

It is a sprout well budded out

The work of Our Lord's hand"

PATTY LOVELESS lyrics - Daniel Prayed

Gather round ladies, gather round

Hear the news that's comin' down

The ships are in and the sails are down

The boys are back in town



Get your skirts down off the rack

The boys are in and the boys are back

And no time now for takin' slack

The boys are back in town



Well the boys are back in town

Your true love can be found

Gather round the old playground

The boys are back in town



They've been gone for quite a while

Man, it's good to see 'em smile

Now they're loaded up on style

Gonna raise some hell, 'cause don't you know

The boys are back in town



Well the boys are back in town

Your true love can be found

Gather round the old playground

The boys are back in town



Well the boys are back in town

Your true love can be found

Gather round the old playground

The boys are back in town

THE PROCLAIMERS lyrics - I'm On My Way

I'm on my way from misery to happiness today

I'm on my way from misery to happiness today

I'm on my way to what I want from this world

And years from now you'll make it to the next world

And everything that you receive up yonder

Is what you gave to me the day I wandered



I took a right, I took a right turning yesterday

I took a right, I took a right turning yesterday

I took the road that brought me to your home town

I took the bus to streets that I could walk down

I walked the streets to find the one I'd looked for

I climbed the stair that led me to your front door



And now that I don't want for anthing

I'd have Al Jolson sing "I'm sitting on top of the world"



I'll do my best, I'll do my best to do the best I can

I'll do my best, I'll do my best to do the best I can

To keep my feet from jumping from the ground dear

To keep my heart from jumping through my mouth dear

To keep the past, the past and not the present

To try and learn when you teach me a lesson



And now that I don't want for anything

I'd have Al Joison sing "I'm sitting on top of the world".

JOAN ARMATRADING lyrics - Trouble

You've lived your life

And how you survived

I'll never know

People talk of hardships

What do they know

What do they know

Of the strength you had to show



To stop yourself from crying out

To keep you head above the sand

Those times when you were in dispair

When trouble seemed your only friend

Somehow you kept your spirits high

You told him straight don't call again



Now there were times

When it seemed I didn't care

Don't misjdge my silence

You had my sympathy

I had sympathy

And I admired how you



Stopped yourself from crying

Kept your head above the sand

When trouble seemed your only friend

Somehow you kept your spirits high

You told him straight

Don't call again



And now the future's looking bright

You fought alone and won the fight

Kept your faith

When times were hard you made it through

Trouble seemed your only friend

Somehow you kept your spirits high



You stopped yourself from crying out

You kept your head above the sand

Those times when you were in despair

Trouble seemed your only friend

Somehow you kept your spirits high

You told him straight

Don't call again

MERCY lyrics - Love (Can Make You Happy)

(Jack Sigler Jr.)



Wake up in the morning with the sunshine in your eyes

And the smell of flowers blooming fills the air.

Your mind is filled with the thoughts of a certain someone - that you

love;

Your life is filled with joy when she is there.



Love can make you happy if you fine someone who cares

To give a life time to you and who has a love to share.



If you think you've found someone you'll love forevermore,

Then it's worth the price you'll have to pay (pay).

To have, to hold's important when forever is the phrase

That means the love you've found is going to stay.



Love can make you happy if you find someone who cares

To give a life time to you and who has a love to share.



La-love, la-love



Love can make you happy.

Love can make you happy.

Love can make you happy.

Love...

LOU REED lyrics - Heavenly Arms

Heavenly arms reach out to hold me

Heavenly arms entice you to dance

In a world of ill will, the dancers are still

Heavenly arms reach out to me



Heavenly arms, soft as a love song

Heavenly arms bring a kiss to your ear

In a world that seems mad, all the dancers seem sad

Heavenly arms reach out to me



Sylvia, Sylvia, Sylvia, Sylvia,



Heavenly arms come to my rescue

Only a woman can love a man

In a world full of hate, love should never wait

Heavenly arms reach out to me



Heavenly arms, strong as a sunset

Heavenly arms, pure as the rain

Lovers stand warned of the worlds impending storm

Heavenly arms reach out to me



Sylvia, Sylvia, Sylvia, Sylvia

QUIET RIOT lyrics - We've Got The Magic

All I need is a place in my heart

To keep me happy 'til the day I die

All I want is a place in my soul

To reach up far and touch the sky

It's magic



We've got the smile that'll make you laugh (ha)

A special way to show you it's real

Some people think it's a touch of class

But you know it's just the way we feel

It's magic



We've got the magic, deep in our souls

We've got the magic, to play rock-n-roll

We've got the magic, to never grow old

Can't you hear the sound, in the air



Can't wait to show this magic inside

Gonna bust out and spread it wide

Can't you hear what we're trying to say

Feeling's gettin' stronger everyday

It's magic



We've got the magic, deep in our souls

We've got the magic, to play rock-n-roll

We've got the magic, to never grow old

Can't you hear the sound, in the air (whoa yeah)



We've got the magic, deep in our souls (yeah)

We've got the magic, to play rock-n-roll

We've got the magic, we'll never grow old



We've got the magic

We've got the magic

We've got the magic

You've got the magic

So take it on home



We've got the magic, deep in our souls

We've got the magic, to play rock-n-roll

We've got the magic, it's magic, magic (whoa-oh)

CYNDI LAUPER lyrics - Mother

(Cyndi Lauper, Jan Pulsford)



Over land and over sea

She reaches out to me

Weaving and threading the loom

From womb to womb



Slaves and merchants

Pilgrims and thieves

Felt her hand and charted skys

By following her moon



Mother... Mother... Mother...



Some came and built with stone and bone

Some planted fields on promised land

And harvested their dreams,

Then disappeared

As generations lose their memory

I'll try and remind my heart...

And hope that it will set me free



Mother... Mother... Mother...



Condeming my true nature

I stood outside of myself... outside of myself

Conditioning is what made me

Lose sight of myself... lose sight of myself...

Lose sight



Ravens cry out,

Tides pull in,

Somehow she replenishes...

Giving birth again



Mother... Mother... Mother...

THE GO-GO'S lyrics - This Old Feeling

(Caffey/Wiedlin)



This old feeling

It's new to me

I'm not sure

How I should be

I'd tattoo my vow

For all to see

To prove how much

You mean to me



A million times said

In as many songs

But before you

I could never sing along

I love you

I do

I love you

I do



This old feeling

It's got me up

I can't believe

My good luck

I'd wait at your door

Till eternity

Because you mean

That much to me

TOM PETTY & THE HEARTBREAKERS lyrics - Something Big

(Tom Petty)



It didn't feel like Sunday

Didn't feel like June

When he met his silent partner in that lonely corner room

That over looked the marquee

Of the Plaza all-adult

And he was not lookin' for romance

Just someone he could trust



(Chorus)

And it wasn't no way to carry on

It wasn't no way to live

But he could put up with it for a little while

He was workin' on something big



Speedball rang the night clerk

Said, "Send me up a drink"

The night clerk said "It's Sunday man, ...wait a minute

Let me think

There's a little place outside of town that might

Still have some wine"

Speedball said, "Forget it, can I have an outside line?



(Chorus)



It was Monday when the daymaids

Found the still made bed

All except the pillows that lay stacked

Up at the head

And one said, "I know I've seen his face

I wonder how he is?



The other said, "Probably just another clown

Workin' on something big"

JOHN PRINE lyrics - Bear Creek Blues

(A. P Carter)



Way up on Bear Creek, Watching the sun go down.

Way up on Bear Creek, Watching the sun go down.

Well it makes me feel like I'm on my last go 'round.



The water up on Bear Creek, Tastes like cherry wine.

The water up on Bear Creek, Tastes like cherry wine.

One drink of that water, You stay drunk all the time.



If you stay up on Bear Creek, You'll get like Jesse James.

If you stay up on Bear Creek, You'll get like Jesse James.

You'll take two pistols, And you'll rob that Bear Creek train.



I'm going high, high, Up on some lonesome ridge.

I'm going high, high, Up on some lonesome ridge.

Look down on Bear Creek, Where my good gal used to live.



Way up on Bear Creek, Watching the sun go down.

Way up on Bear Creek, Watching the sun go down.

Well it makes me feel like I'm on my last go 'round.

MOTORHEAD lyrics - The Chase Is Better Than The Catch

You know I'm bad, the times I've had,

I've got a bad reputation,

I don't care, I get my share,

Don't feel no deprivation,

The more I get the better it is,

I like it fine, like a little whizz,

Treat 'em like ladies, that's a fact,

You know The Chase Is Better Than The Catch



Silver tounged devil, demon lech,

You know just what I'm doing,

I like a little innocent bitch,

You know I ain't just screwing,

I love you baby, love you too much,

I like it fine, I feel your touch,

But your appearance don't hold no class,

You know The Chase Is Better Than The Catch



A little beauty, I love you madly,

Come on home with me,

I know you're hot, I know what you've got,

You know I want to shake your tree,

Come on honey, touch me right there,

Come on honey, don't you get scared,

Come on honey, let me get you in the sack,

You know The Chase Is Better Than The Catch



All right! Let me hear ya!

I can't hear ya!

THE MANHATTAN TRANSFER lyrics - Twilight Zone / Twilight Tone

(Alan Paul and Jay Graydon, Lyrics by Alan Paul)



When I hear this melody

This strange illusion takes over me

Through a tunnel of the mind

Perhaps a present or future time oh, oh

Out of nowhere comes this sound

This melody that keeps spinning 'round & 'round

Pyramidal locomotion

From a mystic unknown zone



Hearin' the twilight

Hearin' the twilight tone



Unpretentious girl from Memphis

Saw the future through her third eye

People came with skepticism

Picking, testing her precision, no, wo, oh, oh

Suddenly they heard this sound

This melody that keeps spinning 'round & 'round

A signpost up ahead is calling

Through the mystic unknown zone



Hearin' the twilight

Twilight swept away, feelin' the rhythm

Hearin' the twilight

Twilight swept away, ba da, loo da, ba da loo da

Hearin' the twilight

Twilight tone



Submitted for your approval. One Mr. Miller, who's about

to take a trip into oddness and obsolescene, through a

zone whose boundaries are that of imagination.

Accompanying him on this journey is the mesmerizing

sound of the Twilight Tone.



On a cold & rainy night

One Mister Miller had a rare flight

Glen was up there boppin' a rhythm

Then the engine stopped to listen with him

Play that beat, oh, oh

Suddenly he heard this sound

This melody that keeps spinning 'round & 'round

Now he resides and plays trombone

In the mystic unknown zone



Hearin' the twilight

(Ooooooh, twilight)

Hearin' the twilight

(Hearin' the twilight)

MIKE OLDFIELD lyrics - Talk About Your Life

Walking out in the street light, midnight.

Whispry wind, catch me in the headlight.

Talk about your life, I'd like to know.

It's not easy going where no-one goes,

And no-one knows.



[ Chorus ]



Do we have to be so distant?

How can you be so unreal?

What's the reason for hiding, and

How does crying make you feel?



I can see you're talking to me in riddles.

Do what you like, you go where the wind blows.

Talk about your life, I'd like to know.

It's not easy going where no-one goes,

And no-one knows.



[ Repeat Chorus ]



I reach for certain diguise that you're leaving,

And I can tell by the mist in your eyes that you're dreaming.

Dreaming.



Do we have to be so distant?

How can you be so unreal?



In the clouds, running and chasing shadows.

Talk about your life, I'd like to know.

It's not easy going where no-one goes,

And no-one knows.



[ Repeat Chorus ]



[ Repeat Chorus ]



[ Repeat Chorus ]



[ Repeat Chorus ]

MARIANNE FAITHFULL lyrics - The Ballad Of Lucy Jordan

The morning sun touched lightly on the eyes of lucy jordan

In a white suburban bedroom in a white suburban town

As she lay there 'neath the covers dreaming of a thousand lovers

Till the world turned to orange and the room went spinning round.



At the age of thirty-seven she realised she'd never

Ride through paris in a sports car with the warm wind in her hair.

So she let the phone keep ringing and she sat there softly singing

Little nursery rhymes she'd memorised in her daddy's easy chair.



Her husband, he's off to work and the kids are off to school,

And there are, oh, so many ways for her to spend the day.

She could clean the house for hours or rearrange the flowers

Or run naked through the shady street screaming all the way.



At the age of thirty-seven she realised she'd never

Ride through paris in a sports car with the warm wind in her hair

So she let the phone keep ringing as she sat there softly singing

Pretty nursery rhymes she'd memorised in her daddy's easy chair.



The evening sun touched gently on the eyes of lucy jordan

On the roof top where she climbed when all the laughter grew too loud

And she bowed and curtsied to the man who reached and offered her his hand,

And he led her down to the long white car that waited past the crowd.



At the age of thirty-seven she knew she'd found forever

As she rode along through paris with the warm wind in her hair...

SAXON lyrics - Song For Emma

Emma stands alone tonight

Staring at the stars

Trying to find the reason why

Her world was torn apart

She's sick and tired of trying to keep

The wolves back from the door



She couldn't stand the pain

Tried to come in from the rain

She was a victim of her heart

Is there no one to blame



What happened to the dreams she had

Visions of her life

Now they're only shadows

Fading in the night

She's given up believing

Turned her back and slammed the door



She couldn't stand the pain

Tried to come in from the rain

She was a victim of her heart

Is there no one to blame

No one to blame

No one to blame

No one to blame



Emma weeps alone tonight

Passion was her crime

No one hears her cry for help

Her back's against the wall

She's standing on the very edge

She's waiting for the fall



She couldn't stand the pain

Tried to come in from the rain

She was a victim of her heart

Victim of her heart



She couldn't stand the pain

Tried to come in from the rain

She was a victim of her heart



Is there no one to blame

JANET JACKSON lyrics - If

Sittin over here

Starin in your face

With lust in my eyes

Sure don't give a damn and ya

Don't know that I've been dreamin of ya in

My fantasies

Never once you looked at me

Don't even realize that I'm wantin you

To fulfill my needs

Think what you want

Let your mind free

Run free to a place no one dares to



How many night I've laid in bed excited over you

I've closed my eyes and thought of us a hundred different ways

I've gotten there so many times I wonder how bout you

Day and night

Night and day

All I've got to say is



[CHORUS:]

If I was your girl

Oh the things I'd do to you

I'd make you call out my name

I'd ask who it belongs to

If I was your woman

The things I'd do to you

But I'm not

So I can't

Then I won't

But

If I was your girl



Allow me some time to play with your mind

And you'll get there again and again

Close your eyes and imagine my body undressed

Take your time cuz we've got all night, oooh

You on the rise as you're touchin my thighs and

Let me know what you like

If you like I'll go

Down da down down down da down down

I'll hold you in my hand and baby



Your smooth and shiny

Feels so good against my lips sugar

I want you so bad I can

Taste your love right now baby

Day and night

Night and day

All i've got to say is



[CHORUS (2x)]



I've laid in bed excited over you

One hundred different way I've thought ya

Many, maaany

(day and night, night and day)

Allll I got to say is



[CHORUS (3x)]

NAZARETH lyrics - Just Another Heartache

Who took the smile out of your face

Who put the tears and sadness in its place

Who took the sun out of your sky

Don't turn around or ask for reasons why

No place to run, nowhere to hide

It's just another love turned bad

Some smoke that's gettin' in your eyes



It's just another heartache, just another heartache

Just another hurt to take

Another bridge for you to cross

It's nothing but a heartache, nothing but a heartache

Just another big mistake

Another game you have lost

It ain't nothing but a heartache



Always wore your heart out on your sleeve

You said you'd always cared and needed to believe

There comes a time to give, there comes a time to take

But a sentimental heart will be the first to break

Don't try to run

Don't try to hide

It's just another love turned bad

Some smoke that's clouded up your eyes.

VAN MORRISON lyrics - Early In The Morning

(Leo Hickman / Louis Jordan / Dallas Bartley)



Early in the morning and I can't get right

Had a little date with my baby last night

Now it's early in the morning (Early in the morning)

Well it's early in the morning (Early in the morning)

Now it's early in the morning

And I ain't got nothing but the blues



Went to all the places where we used to go

Went to your house but you don't live there no more

Now it's early in the morning (Early in the morning)

Well it's early in the morning (Early in the morning)

Early in the morning

And I ain't got nothing but the blues



Went to your friend's house but she was out

Knock on your father's door and he began to shout Get out there boy

Early in the morning (Early in the morning)

Early in the morning (Early in the morning)

Early in the morning

And I ain't got nothing but the blues



Went to Dooky Chase to get something to eat

Waiter looked at me and said 'You sure look beat'

Now it's early in the morning (Early in the morning)

Early in the morning (Early in the morning)

Well it's early in the morning

And I ain't got nothing but the blues

Well it's early in the morning

And I ain't got nothing but the blues

Well it's early in the morning

And I ain't got nothing but the blues

ALICE COOPER lyrics - Dance Yourself To Death

My liberated parents

They are gonin' out tonight

They read the hippest magazines

They've loosened their uptights

Dad's wearin' real tight Levis

And some Gucci Tennis shoes

He's got a T-shirt custom made for him

Saying "Give me pot not booze"



I get a kiss good-bye

I get all numb and high

From all the smoke left on their breath

I smile and wish them well

Then I pray like hell

They go and dance themselves to death



Mom's hair's all green and dirty

She wears a high tech Devo Suit

She changed her name to Xerox

She hides Quaaludes in her boots

Oh, me, I'm all real embarrassed

When I hear the things they do

They kinda compromise my social position

And my cool-ativity is suffering too!



I get a kiss good-bye

I get all numb and high

From all the smoke left on their breath

I smile and wish them well

Then I pray like hell

They go and dance themselves to death



Ahh dance, real hard



I get a kiss good-bye

I get all numb and high

From all the smoke left on their breath

I smile and wish them well

Then I pray like hell

They go and dance themselves to death



Come on momma

Come on daddy

Come on skinny

Come on fatty

Shake it Martha

Shake it Larry

Shake it Mr. Coronary

You gotta dance dance

Come on and dance dance

Dance til you're outta breath

BRYAN FERRY lyrics - Baby, Let Me Follow You Down

[Originally by Bob Dylan]



I first heard this from Ric von Schmidt. He lives in Cambridge.

Ric is a blues guitarplayer. I met him one day on

The green pastures of the Harvard University. -



Baby let me follow you down, baby let me follow you down

Well I'll do anything in this godalmighty world

If you just let me follow you down.



Can I come home with you, baby can I come home with you?

Yes I'll do anything in this godalmighty world

If you just let me come home with you.



Baby let me follow you down, baby let me follow you down

Well I'll do anything in this godalmighty world

If you just let me follow you down.



Yes I'll do anything in this godalmighty world

If you just let me follow you down.

RATT lyrics - U Got It

You don't tell me that you're working so hard

I've been working myself

I've found something I need

I'm not taking no chances in this town



You party hard with rock'n'rollers

You listen while you can

There's only one life to lead

So live it while you can



U got it

If you want it

You're not taking your chance with me

U got it

If you want it

You're not taking your chance with me

U got it

If you want it

You're not taking your chance with me

U got it

If you want it

You're not taking your chance with me



Yeah



Well don't you tell me that you're working so hard

I've been working myself

I've found something I need

I'm not taking no chances



U got it

If you want it

You're not taking your chance with me

U got it

If you want it

You're not taking your chance with me

U got it

If you want it

You're not taking your chance with me

U got it

If you want it

You're not taking your chance with me



Yeah

HUEY LEWIS AND THE NEWS lyrics - You Crack Me Up

Oh my god, I can't believe my eyes

Underneath that ghostly pale is that you

Someone in your shape shouldn't be driving

Someone in your shape shouldn't be doing anything at all



You should see yourself in the mirror

With your leather lips and your snakeskin shoes

Do you have to shout in my ear

Do me a favor, just stop talking for a minute or two



You crack me up, you really really do

With your sunglasses on, acting so young

Only I know what you're really up to

You break me up



No, I don't want to sit in your sports car

No, I don't want to hear a tune

All the locals say you'll go far

That's funny; they don't know you like I do



You crack me up you twisted wreck

Shouding in the parking lot, think you'll give it one more shot

Better hope they'll cash a check

You break me up



You better ask yourself a question

Cause you cant live like this for long

You better listen to my suggestion

Before you wind up in somebody else's song

PAUL SIMON lyrics - Diamonds On The Soles Of Her Shoes

(words and music by Paul Simon; beginning by Paul Simon and Joseph Shabalala)



(a-wa) O kodwa u zo-nge li-sa namhlange

(a-wa a-wa) Si-bona kwenze ka kanjani

(a-wa a-wa) Amanto mbazane ayeza



She's a rich girl

She don't try to hide it

Diamonds on the soles of her shoes



He's a poor boy

Empty as a pocket

Empty as a pocket with nothing to lose

Sing Ta na na

Ta na na na

She got diamonds on the soles of her shoes

She got diamonds on the soles of her shoes

Diamonds on the soles of her shoes

Diamonds on the soles of her shoes



People say she's crazy

She got diamonds on the soles of her shoes

Well that's one way to lose these

Walking blues

Diamonds on the soles of her shoes



She was physically forgotten

Then she slipped into my pocket

With my car keys

She said you've taken me for granted

Because I please you

Wearing these diamonds



And I could say Oo oo oo

As if everybody knows

What I'm talking about

As if everybody would know

Exactly what I was talking about

Talking about diamonds on the soles of her shoes



She makes the sign of a teaspoon

He makes the sign of a wave

The poor boy changes clothes

And puts on after-shave

To compensate for his ordinary shoes



And she said honey take me dancing

But they ended up by sleeping

In a doorway

By the bodegas and the lights on

Upper Broadway

Wearing diamonds on the soles of their shoes



And I could say Oo oo oo

As if everybody here would know

What I was talking about

I mean everybody here would know exactly

What I was talking about

Talking about diamonds



People say I'm crazy

I got diamonds on the soles of my shoes

Well that's one way to lose

These walking blues

Diamonds on the soles of your shoes

THE FLAMING LIPS lyrics - Are You A Hypnotist?

I had forgiven you for tricking me again

But I have been tricked again -

Into forgiving you -

What is this?? Are you some kind of hypnotist??

Waving your powers around - the sun eclipse behind the cloud...



I thought I recognized your face

Amongst all of those strangers -

But I am the stranger now

Amongst all of the recognized

What is this?? Are you some kind of hypnotist??

Waving your powers around - the sun eclipse behind the cloud

LOS LOBOS lyrics - Que Nadie Sepa Mi Sufrir

(Angel Cabral/Enrique Dizeo)



No te asombres si te digo lo que fuiste

Un ingrata con mi pobre corazon

Porque el fuego de tus lindos ojos negros

Alumbraron el camino de otro amor



Y pensar que te adoraba ciegamente

Que a tu lado como nunca me senti

Y por esas cosas raras de la vida

Sin el beso de tu boca yo me vi



ZAmor de mis amores alma mia que me hisite?

Que no puedo consolar me sin poder me contemplar

Ya pagaste mal mi carino tan sincero solo conseguira

Que no tu nombre nunca mas



Amor de mis amores si dejaste de querer me no hay cuidado

Que la gente de esto no se enterara

Que gano con decir que tu amor cambio mi suerte se bularan de mi

Que nadie sepa mi sufrir

ZZ TOP lyrics - TV Dinners

Tv dinners there's nothin' else to eat

Tv dinners they really can't be beat

I like 'em frozen but you understand

I throw 'em in and wave 'em and I'm a brand new man oh yeah!



Tv dinners they're goin' to my head

Tv dinners my skin is turnin' red

Twenty year old turkey in a thirty year old tin

I can't wait until tomorrow.... And thaw one out again oh yeah!



Tv dinners I'm feelin' kinda rough

Tv dinners this one's kinda tough

I like the enchiladas and the teriaki too

I even like the chicken if.... The sauce is not too blue.



And they're mine, all mine, oh yeah

And they sure are fine.

Gotta have 'em

Gimme somethin' now.

THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS lyrics - Rest A While

I got rid of my jackets and coats, I threw out all of my pants

I got sick of my stinking clothes, I had to get rid of them

I'm not yet considering replacing them, I'm only glad to be rid of them and



Rest a while, rest a while



I lay out in the sun too long, and burned off all of my skin

I felt so dizzy I got into my car and got into an accident

Out of the burning wreckage I fell only wanting to lay where I fell and



Rest a while, rest a while



Rest a while!



I became friendly with Ruy Lopez the author of works on chess

Ruy had said you're incorrect, he cut me off and acted mad

He won't even talk to me now but i don't care cause I'm sick of that guy and I need to



Rest a while, rest a while

Rest a while, rest a while

BETH NIELSEN CHAPMAN lyrics - Who We Are

(Beth Nielsen Chapman/Allen Shamblin)



She says she hates me - and not to call

She's used her pain to build a concrete wall

She's rolled her angry words into a fist

But that's not who she is

That's not who she is



I slammed the phone down hard and walked outside

I wrote her off that day as if she'd died

Said if she burns in hell, well I won't give a damn

But that's not who I am,

That's not who I am



Lost behind the masks we wear

The barbed wire fences of our fear

We drag each other through these tears

And strike the wounds that scar

But that's not who we are

That's not who we are



Someday I'll hold her, for this I pray

That time and grace will roll the stone away

And we'll love each other with open hearts

Just for who we are

Just for who we are



A mother who gave all she could

A child who tried to just be good

In father brother sisterhood

We reach and fall so far

Like dust of ancient stars

That's just who we are

Dust of ancient stars

That's just who we are

SONIC YOUTH lyrics - Brave Men Run (In My Family)

Seven days and seven nights

I dreamt a sailor's dream at sea

Seven days and seven nights

I dreamt a sailor's dream of me

Seven days and siven nights

The world was made and lost again

Seven days and seven nights

Brave men run

In my family

Brave men run

Into the setting sun

Brave men run

Into captivity

Brave men run

In my family



Brave men run

Away from me

REO SPEEDWAGON lyrics - Live Every Moment

Live every moment - love every day

'Cus before you know it your precious time slips away.

Live every moment - love every day

'Cause if you don't you might just throw your love away.

I walked for seven miles this mornin'. Footprints in the sand.

Washed away without a warning when the water hit the land.

But I will walk on 'til I can no longer stand.

I'll take you by the hand and we'll...



Live every moment - love every day

'Cus before you know it your precious time slips away.



There's water in the wind tonight.

There's a chill in the air.

It's coolin' down my skin tonight

Soakin' through your hair.

There's warmth enough within' tonight

for both of us to share.

We can take it anywhere. And we'll...



Live every moment - love every day

'Cus before you know it your precious time slips away.



Sometimes I wish we could take a trip far away.

Leave all this trouble and heartache and pain for another day.

I will search for that place but 'til I find it all I can say is...



Live every moment - and love every day

THE WHO lyrics - Disguises

I used to know everything about you

But today when I tried to point you out to one of my friends

I picked the wrong girl again

Don't see you in the crowd anymore

I think it's you but I can't be sure

You're wearing disguises

Occasionally a girl surprises me

When she turns out to be you

Wearing disguises



I don't think you want me to see you ever again

And today I saw you dressed as a flower bed

Last week you had a wig on your head

Directing traffic in the street

And your shoes were too big for your feet

You were wearing disguises

Occasionally a girl surprises me

When she turns out to be you

Wearing disguises



[repeat first verse]

Wearing disguises

Wearing disguises

Wearing disguises

Wearing disguises

B. B. KING lyrics - Ain't Nobody's Bizness (Version 2)

(Porter Grainger / Everett Robbins)



Recording of early 60's

From, copyright notice



If me and my baby fuss and fight

Well, and the next minute we're all right

It ain't nobody's bizness what I do



If one day we have ham and bacon

And the next day ain't nothing shakin'

I tell you it ain't nobody's bizness what I do



Oh, I'm three, three times seven

Oh, that makes twenty-one

Ah, that ain't nobody's bizness what I do



Oh, if I attend church all day Sunday

And cabaret all day Monday

It ain't nobody's bizness what I do



If I stay out all night

Spending my money I tell you that's all right

Because it ain't nobody's bizness what I do

It ain't nobody's bizness what I do

FRANK SINATRA lyrics - Swinging On A Star

(J. Burke, J. Van Heusen)



[Recorded Januaru 27, 1964, Los Angeles]



Would you like to swing on a star?

Carry moonbeams home in a jar?

And be better off than you are?

Or would you rather be a mule?



A mule is an animal with long, funny ears

He kicks up at anything he hears

His back is brawny and his brain is weak

He's just plain stupid with a stubborn streak

And, by the way, if you hate to go to school

You may grow up to be a mule



Or would you like to swing on a star?

Carry moonbeams home in a jar?

And be better off than you are?

Or would you rather be a pig?



A pig is an animal with dirt on his face

His shoes are a terrible disgrace

He's got no manners when he eats his food

He's fat and lazy and extremely rude

But if you don't care a feather or a fig

You may grow up to be a pig



[instrumental-first 3 lines of chorus]

Or would you rather be a fish?



A fish won't do anything but swim in a brook

He can't write his name or read a book

To fool all the people is his only thought

Though he's slippery, he still gets caught

But then if that sort of life is what you wish

You may grow up to be a fish



And all the monkeys aren't in a zoo

Every day you meet quite a few

So you see, it's all up to you

You can be better than you are



You could be swingin' on a star

BIG BILL BROONZY lyrics - Diggin' My Potatoes (Version 2)

He's been diggin' my potatoes,

Lord, a-crampin' on my farm

Yes, I've got a special plan now,

Baby, Lord, got it restin' on my mind



Oh, she powdered her face,

Water waved her hair,

She caught a taxi, can now she's

Out cross town somewhere



I know she's diggin' my potatoes,

Lord, Lord, she's crampin' on my farm

Yes, I've got a special plan now, baby,

Lord, got it restin' on my mind



Oh, my farm is all green,

'Tattoos the only red,

I've never found a ruse until I

Caught him in my bed.



You know he's diggin' my potatoes,

Lord, Lord, he's crampin' on my farm,

Yes, I've got a special plan now,

Baby, Lord, got it restin' on my mind.



I've been all around,

Lookin up and down,

Lookin for my baby,

Lord, now I know she's in his town



I know she's diggin' my potatoes,

Lord, Lord, she's crampin' on my farm,

Yes, I've got a special plan now, baby,

Lord, got it restin' on my mind

EARTH, WIND AND FIRE lyrics - On Your Face

(Maurice White, Charles Stephney & Philip Bailey)



Ain't it funny that

the way you feel,

shows on your face-

and no matter, how you try to hide it'll state your case-

Now a frown will bring your Sprits down to the ground

And never let you see, the Good things all around-

Everytime we seem to let

Our feelings show, our luck-

run out and the wind Won't blow-



But, that can't make me

That can't make me sad

Cause, I've been there Before

Don't wanna go no more-



Sadness bears no remedy, for the problems in your life

Won't disappear - This world can't shake me

Bad times can't make me sad

Ole world can't take me

Won't let it drive me mad

While you run your race

keep a smilin' face-

Help you set your pace

Life is on your case



Wish upon a sunnyday, it'll turn to rain-

Use the sunshine in your heart, to ease the pain-

We wonder, how your attitude is going down-

Is it wakin' and shakin' and safe and sound-

Everytime we seem, let our feelings flo-

Our luck runs out.

And the wind won't blow.



You can't shake me, the way I feel today.

Come tomorrow I'll feel the same way

Wake me! My heart us feeling Glad-

I'll take you with me When you're feelin' bad-

PETE SEEGER lyrics - It's A Long Haul

One day, one day (one day, one day),

I was walking along (I was walking along),

And I spied a little child (I spied a little child),

Just a-singing a song (just a-singing a song)



About haulin' together (about haulin' together),

Keepin' in time (keepin' in time).

Hauling on a halyard (hauling on a halyard),

Making up a rhyme (making up a rhyme).



It's a long haul (it's a long haul)

It's a high haul (it's a high haul)

It's a job for the many (it's a job for the many)

Not just for the few (not just for the few)

It's a job for everybody (it's a job for everybody)

That's me and you (that's me and you)

It's a long haul (it's a long haul)

It's a high haul (it's a high haul)

It's a hard haul (it's a hard haul).

RICHARD WRIGHT lyrics - Reaching For The Rail

(Wright, Moore)



I'm ill with a fever, I feel like a child

I lay in the dark 'til morning came.

It's so unoriginal

And I feel it worse at night

I know it's not terminal

But I'm near half-dead fright

And freezing cold.



But sooner than woke up

To find it all unchanged

I'll sleep through the day til the daylight ends.

Cos it's all so familiar

As it comes around again

The same taste to everything

The same unbroken chain

That still remains.



With morning I rise,

A dream that won't leave me,

You're sad, naked and pale



And you're reaching for the rail



You took a look inside, how could you peel away

Or break the shell, the hurt you've hidden so well

For all your days.



And you're going down

As you slip beneath the waves,

Won't make a sound

Won't even leave a trace before you.



I hear an appalling sigh from the streets below

And it's creeping fear congealed in stone

That paves the crazy road.

And all are succumbing and they look so hopelessly

At the heartbreak, it's easy to deal with,

Just take these and you'll really never feel it.

ELTON JOHN lyrics - Blues Never Fade Away

(Music by Elton John, lyrics by Bernie Taupin)



He wasn't famous but I sure did love him

I've got his picture in a little frame

He lost his life to a big disease before it even had a name

But there's so many more and I've lost count

The hows and whys aren't important now

All that matters is they came around

And brightened up our lives



She was twenty one with her life ahead

You don't need to know her name

She breathed her last on the cold stone floor of a Hollywood arcade

But fate's right hand isn't always just

Puts a lot of pressure on your faith and trust

She was just a little girl ain't that enough

To rage against the day



[Chorus:]

And how did we get so lucky?

Targets on the rifle range

Who makes the call and who gets to choose?

Who gets to win and who gets to lose?

It's like a rolling dice in the belly of the blues

And blues never fade away

Hey hey the colors run when the rain falls

But blues never fade away



He shone so bright with a lust for life

Like the Sun King that he was

His passions hung upon his walls and were printed onto cloth

And for reasons I never understood

About the choices made between the bad and good

I've tried to figure out but

The pain never goes away



[Chorus]



And there's marble markers and little white crosses

Along the beaten path

And I've spread their ashes on the wind

And I miss John Lennon's laugh



[Chorus]

GARY BROOKER lyrics - Let Me In

(Gary Brooker/Pete Sinfield)



I've been watching your performance

From the minute you got here

you've been riding on your high horse

But your motives are not clear

You have filled up all the ashtrays

And the carpets wearing thin

I believe we both speak English

Won't you kindly let me in

Let me in all I want to do is help you

Let me in, let me in, let me in

You keep looking out the window

You keep staring at the door

Yeah and every time the phone rings

You make frantic semaphore

I'm a man that's used to trouble

I've seen all the seven sins

I'll even be your long lost uncle

If you'll only let me in. ..

Let me in all I want to do is help you

Let me in, let me in, let me in

You know they say a trouble shared's a trouble half way gone

But bottle it inside and you'll explode

I'd rather have your tears than nitro-glycerine

So let me in I can take the load

I can mend a heart that's broken

Put a patch on your romance

But I gotta have some detail

Time and place and circumstance

I'm a man that's used to trouble

I've seen all the seven sins

There ain't nothin' left to shock me

But you gotta let me in. ..

HERMAN'S HERMITS lyrics - It's Nice To Be Out In The Morning

(Gouldman)



It's nice to get out in the morning

When you've got somewhere to go,

But seeing the same old places

That can make you feel so low.



Hopwhig Green, where the grass is grey

Pedicule and half a hay

Wally range, where the tom cats roam.

There not the sights of Rome but it's home.



It's nice be get out in the morning,

When you've got some where to go.

But seeing the same old places,

That can make you feel so low.



It's nice be get out in the morning,

When you've got some where to go.

But seeing the same old places,

That can make you feel so low.



United ground, where the champions score

A hundred goals and the reds fans roar

Bobby Charter who best them tall

It's the most fantastic day

When they play.



It's nice to get out in the morning

When you've got somewhere to go.

Seeing the same old places,

That can make you feel so low.



Hopwhig Green, where the grass is grey

Pedicule and half a hay

Wally range, where the tom cats roam.

There not the sights of Rome but it's home.

SAXON lyrics - Party 'Til You Puke

Come on everybody

Tonight it's party time

Grab a bottle or a crate

Leave your blues behind

You're gonna need the cavalry

To get you outta here

The last time that we had one

It lasted for a year



We're gonna party

Party till u puke

(These people are sick)



We're gonna party

Party till u puke

Till u puke



Don't worry about the neighbours

They're blind drunk in the loo

There'll be no trouble from the police

'Cos they're all in here too

We got the music cranked right up

It's blowing off the roof

There's people drinking gasoline

It must be two hundred proof



We're gonna party

Party till u puke

(Will someone get me outta here?)



We're gonna party

Party till u puke

Till u puke



(These people are weird!)

TEENA MARIE lyrics - Lips To Find You

So you say you're leaving for the Southern tip of Spain

To soak up local color and forget my name

To live inside the major, not the minor chord

And forget how we made love in a '57 Ford



Lips to find you, lips to find you (Baby, I've got)

Lips to find you (And there's nowhere you can run, baby)

Lips to find you, lips to find you (There's nowhere to hide)

Lips to find you



Crystal blue persuasion in your dreams the spice

Will find you chilly killy in your bed at night

In the most remote of places you can't hide

'Cause once is not enough when you've been satisfied



Lips to find you, lips to find you (Baby, I've got)

Lips to find you (And there's nowhere you can run, baby)

Lips to find you, lips to find you (There's nowhere to hide)

Lips to find you (From the power of my tenderness)



There's nowhere to run

And there's no where you can hide from me

There's nowhere to hide

From the power of my tender

I've got lips to find your love



I'm talking to you, boy

What are you gonna do, boy

Hear me talking to you, boy

What are you gonna do, baby

What are you gonna do, oh, babe

What are you gonna do



So you say you're leaving for the Southern tip of Spain

To soak up local color and forget my name

To live inside the major, not the minor chord

And forget how we made love in a '57 Ford



But I've got lips, lips to find you

I've got lips, lips to find you



What are you gonna do when there's nowhere to run

When there's no where you can hide from me

When there's nowhere to hide

From the power of my tender

I've got lips to find your love



I'm talking to you, boy

What are you gonna do, boy

Hear me talking to you, boy

What are you gonna do

When you call my name from the South of Spain

What are you gonna do

When you miss my lips and you start to trip

What are you gonna do

When I get to you with my crystal blue

What are you gonna do

When you miss me, baby, and you're going crazy



What are you gonna do, baby, do, baby, do, baby, do, baby

What are you gonna do for me, do for me, do for me, do for me

What are you gonna do, baby, do, baby, do, baby, do, baby

What are you gonna do for me, do for me, do for me, do for me



I've got lips, lips to find you

I've got lips, lips to find you

I've got lips, lips to find you

I've got lips, lips to find you

DAN FOGELBERG lyrics - Bell Fantasy / Hark The Herald Angels Sing

Hark! The herald angels sing,

"Glory to the newborn King;

Peace on earth, and mercy mild,

God and sinners reconciled!"

Joyful, all ye nations rise,

Join the triumph of the skies;

With th'angelic host proclaim,

"Christ is born in Bethlehem!"



[Refrain:]

Hark! the herald angels sing,

"Glory to the newborn King!"



Christ, by highest Heav'n adored;

Christ the everlasting Lord;

Late in time, behold Him come,

Offspring of a virgin's womb.

Veiled in flesh the Godhead see;

Hail th'incarnate Deity,

Pleased with us in flesh to dwell,

Jesus our Emmanuel.



[Refrain]



Hail the heav'nly Prince of Peace!

Hail the Sun of Righteousness!

Light and life to all He brings,

Ris'n with healing in His wings.

Mild He lays His glory by,

Born that man no more may die.

Born to raise the sons of earth,

Born to give them second birth.



[Refrain]



Come, Desire of nations, come,

Fix in us Thy humble home;

Rise, the woman's conqu'ring Seed,

Bruise in us the serpent's head.

Now display Thy saving power,

Ruined nature now restore;

Now in mystic union join

Thine to ours, and ours to Thine.



[Refrain]



Adam's likeness, Lord, efface,

Stamp Thine image in its place:

Second Adam from above,

Reinstate us in Thy love.

Let us Thee, though lost, regain,

Thee, the Life, the inner man:

O, to all Thyself impart,

Formed in each believing heart.



[Refrain]

HARRY CONNICK, JR. lyrics - Muskrat Ramble

I look at them shuffle and the shuffle come down

Ramblin' and scramblin' and a-headin' for town

Hoppin' and boppin' and a-buzzin' around

Happily awaitin' at the station

I look at that train number 709

Hoppin' and boppin' and arrivin' on time

Who do you think is about to arrive

The band they call the Dixieland Five



They're gonna play that muskrat ramble tune

Like the way you never heard it played

Get ready for the big parade

All together now - one and two

Join that happy crowd

Tellin' me that ramblin' scramblin' muskrat song

Come on, ramble along

Yeah

PETE TOWNSHEND lyrics - Evolution

(Ronnie Lane)



Well, once I was a stone, many years ago

Into a pool was thrown, many years ago

Time went by and the pool ran dry

Excavated was I, and tempered and beat in the fiery heat

By the hand of a man, whose name was Dan, Dan the blacksmith



Well once I was a sword, many years ago

And my blade was broad, many years ago

Wore it with pride, and into battle I'd ride, on a warrior side

And cut my tail, their was loss of my tail

And soon did rust, corrode to dust, oh my



Well once I was a daisy, many years ago

In pastures green and lazy, many years ago

But I was et by a goat who fell in a moat

And forgetting to float he sunk like a lead and stayed until dead

And was relieved to find just how kind it all was



Well once I was a grub, many years ago

And I lived in moat bed mud, many years ago

But on the very first moon, I became a Cocoon

That resembled a prune, and when the good Lord was done

In the warmth of the sun, I shed my skins

And dried my wings and flew away



Well once I was a bullfrog, had to struggle for survival

And once I was a carp and lived in waters on the meadow

And once I was a mynah bird, quoting verses from the Bible

I said "pretty boy, pretty boy, Saint Luke!"



[Guitar solo]



Well once I was a mule, many years ago

And my master treat me cruel, many years ago

By by I was sick, so I moved to a kick,

So I took out a stick, laid it back across my back

To an almighty crack to his dismay

I cast away, into the blue



Then I was born a human baby, many years ago

I remember I was born unto a lady, many years ago

All our hopes were piled on the back of a child

Who turned out to be wild, sent the devil a prayer

And caused the parson to swear so I took my leave

To lie and thieve, my way to jail



Well, I've been a tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor

Known good times and disaster

But now I've found a teacher and the teacher has a master

And the master is perfection, so he'll help us get there faster

Don't need no proof, 'cause it's the truth, and I'll drink to that!

BEE GEES lyrics - Give Your Best

(spoken)

It's a square dance Mr Marshall. It's a square dance on the floor.

It's a square dance Mr Perkins. It's a square dance to be sure, to be sure.

Ev'rybody, grab partners...



I'm just a clown that used to run around.

I used to have a million friends.

I used to start where ev'rybody ends.

But I just give my best to my friends.



I've done my shows. Ev'rybody knows.

I nearly sold all my clothes.

One man can give; another has to lend.

So I just give my best to my friends.

(spoken)and so you should.



And when you think that your life isn't right.

You know the day isn't always like night.

You've had your peace now it's time for you to fight.

Just give your best to your friends.



I'm just a clown that used to run around.

I used to have a million friends.

I used to start where ev'rybody ends.

So I just give my best to my friends.



And when you think that your life isn't right.

You know the day isn't always like night.

You've had your peace now it's time for you to fight.

Just give your best to your friends.



(music)



And when you think that your life isn't right.

You know the day isn't always like night.

You've had your peace now it's time for you to fight.

Just give your best to your friends.

Just give your best to your friends.

DAVID LEE ROTH lyrics - Stand Up

She looks like Monroe

It's a good impersonation

From start to finish

It's her better side

Head over heels

Yes, he feels a strange sensation

Excedrin Headache #65



That's the trouble with love

That's the trouble with war

You never get what you came for



Stand up, stand up

The more you do it

The less you fall down

Stand up, stand up

Put your head in the clouds

And your feet on the ground

Stand up, stand up

For the time of your life

You turn it up loud

Stand up, stan up



What kind of fashion

Is this flash infatuation

Is all this admiration mutual

Need no lessons

In emotiona starvation

Tat look in her eyes

Is too good to be true...



So now you got a good reason

Yeah, but you just gorra learn

It's what makes the world turn



Stand up, stand up

The more you do ti

The less you fall down

Stand up, stand up

Put your head in the clouds

And your feet on the ground

Stand yp, stand up

For the time of your life

You turn it up loud

And stand up stand up

TOM PETTY & THE HEARTBREAKERS lyrics - Have Love, Will Travel

You never had a chance, did you baby

So good-looking, so insecure

And now you say you can't remember

When the lines you drew began to blur



Yeah, when all of this is over

Should I lose you in the smoke

I want you to know you were the one



And may my love travel with you everywhere

Yeah, may my love travel with you always



Maggie's still trying to rope a tornado

Joe's in the back yard trying to keep things simple

And the lonely dj's diggin' a ditch

Trying to keep the flames from the temple



Oh, and if perhaps I lose you

In the smoke down the road

I want you to know you were the one



And may my love travel with you everywhere

Yeah, may my love travel with you always



How about a cheer for all those bad girls

And all the boys that play that rock and roll

They love it like you love Jesus

It does the same thing to their souls



And when all of this is over

Should I lose you in the smoke

I want you to know that it's all right



And may my love travel with you everywhere

Yeah, may my love travel with you always

JOHN LENNON lyrics - You Are Here

From Liverpool to Tokyo

What a way to go

From distant lands one woman one man

Let the four winds blow



Three thousand miles over the ocean

Three thousand light years from the land of the rising sun



Love has opened my eyes

Love has blown right through

Wherever you are, you are here



Three thousand miles over the ocean

Three thousand light years from the land of surprising sun

East is east and west is west

The twain shall meet

East is west and west is east

Let it be complete



Three thousand miles over the ocean

Three thousand light years from the land of the morning star

NINE INCH NAILS lyrics - That's What I Get

Just when everything was making sense

You took away all my self-confidence

Now all that I've been hearing must be true

I guess I'm not the only boy for you



But that's what I get

That's what I get

That's what I get

That's what I get



How could you turn us into this?

After you just taught me how to kiss you

I told you I'd never say goodbye

Now I'm slipping on the tears you made me cry



But that's what I get

That's what I get

That's what I get

That's what I get



Why does it come as a surprise

To think that I was so naive

Maybe didn't mean so much

But it meant everything to me



But that's what I get

That's what I get

That's what I get

That's what I get

ERIC CLAPTON lyrics - Going Down Slow

(St. Louis Jimmy)



I have had my fun if I never get well no more.

I have had my fun if I never get well no more.



All of my health is failing;

Lord, I'm going down slow,

I'm going down slow.



Please write my mother and tell her the shape I'm in.

Please write my mother and tell her the shape I'm in.



Tell her to pray for me,

Forgive me for my sin,

For all of my sin.



On the next train south, look for my clothes back home.

On the next train south, look for my clothes back home.



'Cause all of my health is failing;

Lord, I'm going down slow,

I'm going down slow.



All of my health is failing;

Lord, I'm going down slow,

I'm going down slow.



Feel like I'm going, like I'm going down slow.

I feel like I'm going, like I'm going down slow.

I feel like I'm going, like I'm going down slow.

I feel like I'm going, like I'm going down slow.

I feel like I'm going, like I'm going down slow.

Don't give me your love

Get down on your knees

And give me your rubber

BUDDY GUY lyrics - Black Night

(Jessie Robinson)



Black night is fallin'

Oh how I hate to be alone

Black night is fallin'

Oh how I hate to be alone

I keep crying for my baby

And there ain't another day is gone



I have no one to talk with

To tell my trouble to

My baby gone and left me

Someone tell me what more, what more can I do



Black night is fallin'

Oh how I hate to be alone

I keep crying for my baby

And there ain't another day is gone



Yeah



I have no one to talk with

To tell my trouble to

My brother's in Iraq

And I don't know, don't know what to do



Black night is fallin'

Oh how I hate to be alone

Keep crying for my baby

And there ain't another day is gone



Look at here



Goodbye baby

Oh God, I sure do hate to go

Goodbye baby, yeah

Oh God, I sure do hate to go

MANFRED MANN'S EARTH BAND lyrics - Banquet

Some get the gravy, some get the gristle

Some get the marrow bone

Some get nothing though there's plenty to spare

Some watch the paint peel, some watch their kids grow

Some watch their stocks and bonds

Waiting for that big deal American Dream



Took my dream down by the sea

Sailing yachts and lobster pots and sunshine

Logs and sails and shell oil pails

Down where the waterskiers glide



Some turn to Elvis, some turn to Africa

Some turn to rambling round

For a clean sky and a drinking stream

Who let the greedy in?

Who left the needy out?

Who made the salty sea?

Tell them we're hungry for a sweeter fare



Took my dream down by the sea

Sailing yachts and lobster pots and sunshine

Logs and sails and shell oil pails

Down where the waterskiers glide



Some get the gravy, some get the gristle

Some get the marrow bone

Some get nothing though there's plenty to spare

Some watch the paint peel, some watch their kids grow

Some watch their stocks and bonds

Waiting for that big deal American Dream

SADE lyrics - Morning Bird

How could you?

You are the river, pour out of this life

How could you?

You are the morning bird

Who sang me into life every day, fly away



You are the blood of me

The harvest of my dreams

There's nowhere I can find peace

And the silence won't cease



Nothing's quite how it seems

The ghost of my joy won't let me be

If you set me free I will not run

I will not run, I will not run

PIXIES lyrics - Dead

You crazy baby bathsheba, I wancha

You're suffocating you need a good shed

I'm tired of living, shebe, so gimme

Dead



We're apin' rapin' tapin' catharsis

You get torn down and get erected

My blood is working but my, my heart is

Dead



Hey

Whaddyah know?

You're lovely

Tan belly

Is starting to grow



Uriah hit the crapper, the crapper

Uriah hit the crapper, the crapper

Uriah hit the crapper, the crapper

Dead

MADONNA lyrics - On The Balcony Of The Casa Rosada 1

[Announcer:]

People of Argentina

Your newly elected President, Juan Peron



[Crowd chanting:]

(Peron Peron... )



[Peron:]

Argentinos, Argentinos

We are all workers now

Fighting against our common enemies

Poverty, social injustice

Foreign domination of our industries

Reaching for our common goals

Our independence, our dignity, our pride



Let the world know that our great nation is awakening

And that its heart beats in the humble bodies

Of Juan Peron and his wife

The first lady of Argentina, Eva Duarte de Peron



[Crowd chanting:]

(Evita Evita... )

BOB DYLAN lyrics - Wiggle Wiggle

Wiggle wiggle wiggle like a gypsy queen

Wiggle wiggle wiggle all dressed in green

Wiggle wiggle wiggle till the moon is blue

Wiggle till the moon sees you.



Wiggle wiggle wiggle in your boots and shoes

Wiggle wiggle wiggle you got nothing to loose

Wiggle wiggle wiggle like a swarm of bees

Wiggle on your hands and knees.



Wiggle to the front wiggle to the rear

Wiggle till you wiggle right out of here

Wiggle till it opens wiggle till it shuts

Wiggle till it bites wiggle till it cuts.



Wiggle wiggle wiggle like a bowl of soap

Wiggle wiggle wiggle like a rolling hoop

Wiggle wiggle wiggle like a ton of lead

Wiggle you can raise the dead.



Wiggle till you're high wiggle till you're higher

Wiggle till you vomit fire

Wiggle till it whispers wiggle till it hums

Wiggle till it answers wiggle till it comes.



Wiggle wiggle wiggle like satin and silk

Wiggle wiggle wiggle like a pail of milk

Wiggle wiggle wiggle all rattle and shake

Wiggle like a big fat snake!

TOMMY ROE lyrics - Dizzy

(Roe/Weller)



Dizzy

I'm so dizzy, my head is spinnin'

Like a whirlpool, it never ends

And it's you, girl, makin' it spin

You're makin' me dizzy



First time that I saw you, girl, I knew that I just had to make you mine

But it's so hard to talk to you with fellas hangin' round you all the time

I want you for my sweet pet

But you keep playin' hard to get

Goin' around in circles all the time



Dizzy

I'm so dizzy, my head is spinnin'

Like a whirlpool, it never ends

And it's you, girl, makin' it spin

You're makin' me dizzy



I finally got to talk to you and I told you just exactly how I felt

Then I held you close to me and kissed you and my heart began to melt

Girl, you've got control of me

'Cause I'm so dizzy I can't see

I need to call a doctor for some help



Dizzy

I'm so dizzy, my head is spinnin'

Like a whirlpool, it never ends

And it's you, girl, makin' it spin

You're makin' me dizzy

My head is spinnin'

Like a whirlpool, it never ends

And it's you, girl, makin' it spin

You're makin' me dizzy

Oh, I'm so dizzy

You're makin' me dizzy

ALICE COOPER lyrics - Serious

(Alice Cooper / Bernie Taupin / David Foster / Steve Lukather)



When I look back at my time at the track

And I played and I played and I played and I was

Shooting the craps at the back of Fat Jack's

Come on fade me Jake

I'm a Las Vegas dreamer they took to the cleaners

A bath what a bath what a bath I'd take

A fish on a hook I was rattled and shook 'cause I lost my stake

I took that serious



All of my life was a laugh and a joke

And a drink and a smoke

And then I passed out on the floor

Again and again and again and again and again



I'm a gambling fool with a roll and cue

Wanna play wanna play wanna play with me

Put my ass on the line rubbed my nose in the grime

And they picked me clean

The chance and the game drove Old Silkly insane

What a pain what a strain on my brain it was

A fish on a hook I was rattled and shook 'cause I lost my stake

I took that serious



All of my life was a laugh and a joke

And a drink and a smoke

And then I passed out on the floor

Again and again and again and again and again



Serious it was serious oh so serious

Serious it was serious oh so serious



All of my life was a laugh and a joke

And a drink and a smoke

And then I passed out on the floor

Or a friend

Again and again and again and again and again



All of my life was a laugh and a joke

And a drink and a smoke

And then I passed out on the floor

Or a friend



Again and again and again and again and again and again

And again and again and again and again and again

And again and again

THE CARS lyrics - Fine Line

how would i know about your life

how about a long night

how do you follow the sun

how do you stay under the thumb

there's a fine line between us

such a fine fine line

there's a fine line between us

and it's always on my mind

what can you say to make me realize

the full moon in your eyes

you probably know now that you're waking up

you still feel shaken up

there's a fine line between us

all the way

there's a fine line between us

can't waste another day

they take you in their arms and whisper

what you want to hear don't you fall

they show you all their charms and whisper

don't you shed a tear don't you fall

JOHN DENVER lyrics - Dearest Esmerelda

(Danoff)



Dearest Esmerelda, in another age, antiques would be modern, and we would be the rage.

Silk would be in fashion, we would dress in lace.

Love would be the passion and the saving grace.

I slept one rainy night with you in Paris, made up for a thousand wasted years.

Dearest Esmerelda, you are magic, I close my eyes and you make love appear.



Dancing in the shimmer of a crystal chandelier. Shadows singing so low, only we could hear.

Moving to the glimmer, shaking to the storm, outside it was raging but inside it was warm.

We said goodnight in the candlelight and thunder, now I wake and find you're never there.

I'm becoming old enough to wonder, happy that I'm still too young to care.



Masterpieces crumble, empires tumble down. Refugees and fantasies go underground.

Romance lasts forever, love don't fade away.

They may take our future but they can't stop yesterday.

Cause somewhere in the cloudy skies of Paris, we were part of some artist's design.

Dearest Esmerelda, you are magic. In the gray around me how you shine, oh, how you shine.

FRANK SINATRA lyrics - Star!

(S. Cahn, J. Van Heusen)



[Recorded November 11, 1968, Hollywod]



If the lady's naughty but proper

If the lady's chic-er than chic

If her escorts must wear a topper

And each man's the man of the week

If she rides around in a brand new foreign car

The chances are the lady's a star



If the lady's utterly charming

If the lady's chummy with kings

If her whims are close to alarming

And it's known she's thrown a few things

If they've got a drink with her name in Jilly's bar

The chances are the lady's a star



If her smallest party is really expensive with tons of expensive caviar

If the lady is someone with the same credentials

Someone with the same essentials

Someone who is worshipped from afar

She's a genuine, positive, totally, marvelous, perfectly, wonderful

She's a great big, great big star!

BLONDIE lyrics - Island Of Lost Souls

In Babylon

On the boulevard of broken dreams

My will power at the lowest ebb

Oh what can I do?

Oh buccaneer

Can ya help me put my truck in gear?

Can ya take me far away from here?

Save my soul from sin?



You wanna get away you've had it man

Nothing's going right

So come sit on the sands of the island

Island of Lost Souls



No luxuries, no no amenities

Too dull, your senses

Oh oh only primitive

"Hey hey really get away," is what he said



Where did he go?

I'm tired of waiting here for him

Where can he be?

He's not with me

Where did he go?

What will I do alone?

Why did he run, run away from me?



The sky is blue the sea is warm and clear

And golden sands are calling out to you inviting

Make a new man outa you



You can come for a while come with a friend

Forget about work start all over again

Let the real you through, here's what we do



Where did he go?

I'm tired of waiting here for him

Where can he be?

He's not with me

Where did he go?

What will I do alone?

Why did he run, run away from me?



No luxuries, no no amenities

Too dull, your senses

Oh oh only primitive

Hey hey really get away

Island of Lost Souls



Ayya ayya ayya Island of Lost Souls

LYNYRD SKYNYRD lyrics - Gifted Hands

I remember the day that he came in

I can't believe how long it's been

Like a poet, he began to play

Just an old friend that hung with the band

A drinkin' man he had no plan

But he played the 'Bird...

Played it for free



'Cause I know he's here

He's everywhere

Take a look around oh and you will see

That cross we bear

It's in the air

Lord we thank you for these gifted hands



There are demons we live with every day

That tear at our hearts and take us away

To another place

Some of us don't get back

This song is for the hands of the workin' man

Who believes in himself and he understands

Love, hope, and faith are The Maker's plan



'Cause I know he's here

He's everywhere

Take a look around oh and you will see

That cross we bear

It's in the air

Lord we thank you for these gifted hands



One day we'll all take that ride

And with those gifted hands I know you'll fly

EURYTHMICS lyrics - Never Gonna Cry Again

I'm never gonna cry again

I'm never gonna die again

I shed some tears for you

I shed more tears for you than the

ocean



I didn't wanna let you know

I didn't wanna take your time

I didn't wanna bring you down

I didn't want to hang around you



So we're living in desperate times

Oh such an unfortunate time

I can't relate to you

I just can't find a place to be near you

MIKE AND THE MECHANICS lyrics - Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow

I met a man back in the future

He was high then he was low

You know his one consideration

Should he come or should he go



I met a girl she wants to give me

The gift of living just for today

Ignore the past ignore the future

You're only going to wish your life away - say



[Chorus:]

Why can't today be tomorrow

Why must there be yesterday

Why can't today be tomorrow

Oh tell me why please tell me why

Are you wishing your life away?



You know that life is no rehearsal

You're never going to get it right

It's inconsistent and it's imperfect

It's going to give you sleepless nights



And then you find you wake up nervous

For every reason under the sun

Life is full of indecision

It's the same for everyone - say



[Chorus]



Why can't today be tomorrow

Why must there be yesterday - so tell me

Why can't today be tomorrow - oh tell me

Why can't today be tomorrow

Are you wishing you're life away

Why can't today be tomorrow?

BOB DYLAN lyrics - When The Night Comes Falling From The Sky

Look out across the fields, see me returning

Smoke is in your eye, you draw a smile

From the fireplace where my letters to you are burning

You've had time to think about it for a while.



Well, I've walked two hundred miles, look me over

It's the end of the chase and the moon is high

It wont matter who loves who

You'll love me or I'll love you

When the night comes falling

When the night comes falling

When the night comes falling from the sky.



I can see through your walls and I know you're hurting

Sorrow covers you up like a cape

Only yesterday I know that you've been flirting

With disaster you somehow managed to escape.



I can't provide for you no easy answers

Who are you that I should have to lie?

You'll know all about it, love

It'll fit you like a glove

When the night comes falling

When the night comes falling

When the night comes falling from the sky.



I can hear your trembling heart beat like a river

You must have been protecting someone last time I called

I never asked you for nothing that you couldn't deliver

I've never asked you to set yourself up for a fall.



I saw thousands who could have overcome the darkness

For the love of a lousy buck, I've watched them die

Stick around, baby, we're not through

Don't look for me, I'll see you

When the night comes falling

When the night comes falling

When the night comes falling from the sky.



In your teardrops, I can see my own reflection

It was on the northern border of Texas where I crossed the line

I don't want to be a fool starving for affection

I don't want to drown in someone else's wine.

For all eternity I think I will remember

That icy wind that's howling in your eye

You will seek me and you'll find me

In the wasteland of your mind

When the night comes falling

When the night comes falling

When the night comes falling from the sky.



Well, I sent you my feelings in a letter

When you were gambling for support

This time tomorrow I'll know you better

When my memory is not so short.



This time I'm asking for freedom

Freedom from a world which you deny

And you'll give it to me now

I'll take it anyhow

When the night comes falling

When the night comes falling

When the night comes falling from the sky.

SLADE lyrics - When The Lights Are Out

(Holder/Lea)



With the lights out

We'll be sitting pretty

Scream a pitiful scream

With the lights out

We'll be warm and willing

Better watch where I lean



When you gaze into a crystal ball

You'll see nothings gonna change at all

You'll see nothings gonna happen over night

so please



Chorus

When the lights are out

When I hear you sigh

Let me feel your warm breath on my neck

It makes me hit the sky

(repeat)



With a whisper

You can bowl me over

Blow a beautiful blow

With an answer

You can turn me under

Wind up ready to go

When you gaze into a crystal ball

You'll see nothings gonna change at all

You'll see nothings gonna happen over night

so please



Chorus

When the lights are out

When I hear you sigh

Let me feel your warm breath on my neck

It makes me hit the sky

(repeat)



When you gaze into a crystal ball

You'll see nothings gonna change at all

You'll see nothings gonna happen over night

so please



Chorus

(repeat)

BIG BILL BROONZY lyrics - Good Time Tonight

(Big Bill Broonzy)



Go down sun, we don't care

We don't like sunshine, we drink moonshine here

Ain't we, baby, ain't we gonna have a time?

Now ain't we baby, we gonna have a good time tonight?



We've got whiskey, wine and gin

We've got hot dogs, ain't got no skin, now

Ain't we, baby, ain't we gonna have a time?

Now ain't we baby, we gonna have a good time tonight?



We've got folks, black and brown

We've got everything, will you stick around

Ain't we, baby, ain't we gonna have a time?

Now ain't we baby, we gonna have a good time tonight?



When you get high, you want something sweet

We've got something that will knock you off your feet, now

Ain't we, baby, ain't we gonna have a time?

Now ain't we baby, we gonna have a good time tonight?



Come up to my house, wanna have some fun

Bring your money gal, it is easy done

Ain't we, baby, ain't we gonna have a time?

Now ain't we baby, we gonna have a good time tonight?

VONDA SHEPARD lyrics - By 7:30

I have been lost in this verbal rain

I went to bed feeling no pain

I was drowning baby, you're my wine

You're my thoughts, you're my silence

You're my sense of time



By 7:30 you'll fall in love with me

Do you believe in destiny?

I believe... by 7:30



Maybe your love's an uncrackable code

Or maybe your love is a railroad

That you ride when you are all alone

And you speed down the tracks

To what you call home



By 7:30 you'll fall in love with me

Do you believe in destiny?

I believe... by 7:30



Quite unsubtle these thoughts

You send me

Or is it I who sends them unreceived?

And they fly through the air

At enormous speed

Like a boomerang flying back at me



By 7:30 you'll fall in love with me

So you believe in destiny?

I believe... by 7:30

BEE GEES lyrics - Grease

I saw my problems and I'll see the light

We got a lovin' thing, we gotta feed it right

There ain't no danger we can go too far

We start believin' now that we can be who we are - grease is the word



They think our love is just a growin' pain

Why don't they understand? it's just a cryin' shame

Their lips are lyin', only real is real

We stop the fight right now, we got to be what we feel - grease is the word



Chorus:

(grease is the word, is the word that you heard)

It's got a groove, it's got a meaning

Grease is the time, is the place, is the motion

Grease is the way we are feeling



We take the pressure, and we throw away conventionality, belongs to yesterday

There is a chance that we can make it so far

We start believin' now that we can be who we are - grease is the word



Chorus



This is a life of illusion, a life of control

Mixed with confusion - what're we doin' here?



We take the pressure, and we throw away conventionality, belongs to yesterday

There is a chance that we can make it so far

We start believin' now that we can be who we are - grease is the word



Chorus repeats 2x



(grease is the word, is the word, is the word...)

STYX lyrics - Lady

(Dennis DeYoung)



Lady, when you're with me I'm smiling

Give me all your love

Your hands build me up when I'm sinking

Touch me and my troubles all fade

Lady, from the moment I saw you

Standing all alone

You gave all the love that I needed

So shy, like a child who has grown



'Cause you're my lady of the morning

Love shines in your eyes

Sparkling, clear, and lovely

You're my lady



Lady, turns me on when I'm lonely

Give me all your charm

Evenings when she lays down beside me

She takes me gently into her arms



Lady of the morning

Love shines in your eyes

Sparkling, clear, and lovely

You're my lady



Lady of the morning

Love shines in your eyes

Sparkling, clear, and lovely

You're my... lady

R. E.M. lyrics - E-Bow The Letter

Look up, what do you see?

All of you and all of me

Fluorescent and starry

Some of them, they surprise



The bus ride, I went to write this, 4:00 a. m.

This letter

Fields of poppies, little pearls

All the boys and all the girls sweet-toothed

Each and every one a little scary

I said your name



I wore it like a badge of teenage film stars

Hash bars, cherry mash and tinfoil tiaras

Dreaming of Maria Callas

Whoever she is

This fame thing, I don't get it

I wrap my hand in plastic to try to look through it

Maybelline eyes and girl-as-boy moves

I can take you far

This star thing, I don't get it



I'll take you over, there

I'll take you over, there

Aluminum, tastes like fear

Adrenaline, it pulls us near



I'll take you over

It tastes like fear, there

I'll take you over



Will you live to 83?

Will you ever welcome me?

Will you show me something that nobody else has seen?

Smoke it, drink

Here comes the flood

Anything to thin the blood

These corrosives do their magic slowly and sweet

Phone, eat it, drink

Just another chink

Cuts and dents, they catch the light

Aluminum, the weakest link



I don't want to disappoint you

I'm not here to anoint you

I would lick your feet

But is that the sickest move?

I wear my own crown and sadness and sorrow

And who'd have thought tomorrow could be so strange?

My loss, and here we go again



I'll take you over, there

I'll take you over, there

Aluminum, tastes like fear

Adrenaline, it pulls us near



I'll take you over

It tastes like fear, there

I'll take you over



Look up, what do you see?

All of you and all of me

Fluorescent and starry

Some of them, they surprise



I can't look it in the eyes

Seconal, Spanish fly, absinthe, kerosene

Cherry-flavored neck and collar

I can smell the sorrow on your breath

The sweat, the victory and sorrow

The smell of fear, I got it



I'll take you over, there

I'll take you over, there

Aluminum, tastes like fear

Adrenaline, it pulls us near



I'll take you over

It tastes like fear, there

I'll take you over



Pulls us near

Tastes like fear.



Nearer, nearer

Over, over, over, over

Yeah, look over

I'll take you there, oh, yeah

I'll take you there

Oh, over

I'll take you there

Over, let me

I'll take you there..

There, there, baby, yeah

10CC lyrics - Welcome To The World

You're through gestation so welcome to the world

We've still got vacancies just waiting to be filled

We're still delivering ten thousand souls a day

And disproportionately packing them away

The starving of the multitudes and the feeding of the few

We're only humanoid there's nothing we can do

You must do something or we'll all go up in smoke

We'd like to help but we're afraid of losing votes

They never listen to you

They never listen to your cries

We're not progressing we're only marking time

You're on your own

Think of your children

Think of your children

Are they welcome to the world?

If every Chinaman jumped up and down in sync

Then California would be sucked into the drink

You've all got bodies and a few of you got minds

We'd like to juse them but we never get the time

Though man's achievements are a credit to us all

How come we're standing with our backs against the wall?

One thousand congressmen assemble every day

They'll send us packing on a dreadlock holiday

They'll never listen to you

They'll never listen to your cries

They'll keep on talking and wasting precious time

You're on your own

Think of your children

Think of your children

Look to your children

They're only children

Are they welcome to the world?
