ROBERT CRAY lyrics - Bad Influence



(R. Cray & M. Vannice)



You used me

To get ya anything you wanted

Oh...but I'm a changed man

It's your other friend that gets ya what you want now



If I go through those same things again

I'll be worse off than I started

Oh...you're such a bad influence

Baby, you've got ways to make me do what you want

Oh...and you're such a bad influence

Girl, I've got to stay away



I've been hurt

In all of the worst kinds of ways

And it's from you, pretty baby

That Bob's just got to stay away from



I won't go through those same things again

I'm so glad that we parted



Oh...you're such a bad influence

Baby, you've got ways to make me do what you want

Oh...and you're such a bad influence

Girl, I've got to stay away



Somebody please

You've got to help me break away

You know I don't like this lonely feeling

I wasn't meant to be this way



Oh no, I won't go through those same things again

I'm so glad we parted, baby



Oh...you're such a bad influence

And you've got ways to make me do what you want

Oh...and you're such a bad influence

And I've got to stay away from you



Oh...you're such a bad influence

Baby, you've got ways to make me do what you want



I can't stand it

Whoa...oh no no

No, no, no

No, no, no

No, no, no

Oh...no no no

No, no, no


THE CURE lyrics - Piggy In The Mirror



Shapes in the drink like Christ

Cracks in the pale blue wall

I'm walking slowly and quickly but

Always away

Twisting twisting to the floor



Flowers in your mouth and the same dry song

The routine from laughter land

Sixteen white legs and a row of teeth

They watch you in secrecy



You're dying for the hope is gone

From here we go nowhere again

I'm trapped in my face and I'm changing

Too much

I can't climb out the way I fell in



Jump with me

For that old forgotten dance

The midnight sun will burn you up

Your life is cold

Your life is hard

Your life is too much for words



These occasions are such a relief

Another point another view to send

Hey hey hey!

We start to talk

And it's all so safe...

I feed you in my dreams



Footsteps on a wire

High above my head

The stain reveals my real intention

I'm the waiting beast

I'm the twisted nerve

As I dance

Dance back to the body in my bed



Look at the piggy

Piggy in the mirror


ANNE MURRAY lyrics - You Needed Me



I cried a tear, you wiped it dry

I was confused, you cleared my mind

I sold my soul, you bought it back for me

And held me up and gave me dignity

Somehow you needed me



You gave me strength to stand alone again

To face the world out on my own again

You put me high upon a pedestal

So high that I could almost see eternity

You needed me, you needed me



And I can't believe it's you

I can't believe it's true

I needed you and you were there

And I'll never leave, why should I leave

I'd be a fool

'Cause I finally found someone who really cares



You held my hand when it was cold

When I was lost you took me home

You gave me hope when I was at the end

And turned my lies back into truth again

You even called me "friend"



You gave me strength to stand alone again

To face the world out on my own again

You put me high upon a pedestal

So high that I could almost see eternity

You needed me, you needed me



You needed me, you needed me


JEFF BECK lyrics - Sugar Cane



I love ya, love ya like sugar cane

I, I love ya like sugar cane

Strip it down, sure is sweet

You keep on chewin till your dead on your feet



I get high on your sugar cane

Its the only thing baby that keeps me sane

Its so nice to have you near

Someone so close and so dear



I, I love ya like sugar cane

I, I, I, I love ya like sugar cane

Strip it down, sure is sweet

You keep on chewin till your dead on your feet



Hey baby don't go away

Its the only thing I really, I really want to hear ya say

If you leave I could not stand the pain

Give me more of that sweet sweet sugar cane



I, I love ya like sugar cane

I, I, I, I love ya like sugar cane

I, I get high on your sugar cane

Its the only thing baby that keeps me sane

Its so nice to have you near

Someone so close and so dear

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

Sweet, sweet

I get high, get high, get high, get high

Sweet, sweet

On your sweet, on your sweet, on your sweet sweet sugar cane

Sweet, sweet

CHARLOTTE GAINSBOURG lyrics - Pour Ce Que Tu N'etais Pas



Pour ce que tu n'etais pas

Paroles et musique : Serge Gainsbourg



J' t'ai pris pour ce que tu n'etais pas

T'ai laisse pour ce que tu es

Je t'ai

Jete

Par trop de lucidite



Tu peux toujours courir, moi

J' suis partie en illusions

Partie

Vee en derision



Tu es tout ce que je ne suis pas

Tu es tout ce que je hais

J'ai lu

Le faux-cul

Dans tes yeux gris horizon



Tu peux me suivre pas a pas

T'inquietes Je sais ce que tu es

Maintenant tu sais pourquoi

J'aime jusqu'a la deraison

YELLO lyrics - Night Flanger



I wake up in the evening

The sun is still around

The street seems to be busy

I hear the traffic sounds



Last night's been lousy

I had a lot to drink

Too many dry martinis

And cans of beer to sink



Another day, already night

Blue neon light

Blue neon light



I could call my rhianna

Ask her to meet me now

I think I lost her number

It's too late anyhow

I could turn on the tv

Or I could stay in bed



These asians drive me crazy

These asians drive me mad



Another day, already night

Blue neon light

Blue neon light



Night is near

I'm still in bed

Red curtain

Soft wind

Sunlight

And I was red



On the papers

On the floor

We did watch possessed



People, push and pull it

Moss turf, and other lads

My head's still full of poison

What I do is insane

I should, perhaps, move out of here

Or take a plane to spain



Refrigerator's noise

I'll get out, the only choice

Should I get up right now

Wait for me somehow

Don't wanna know what for

To get out of this door

Should I phone debbie meier?

Is this the one desire?

I look into the mirror

My eyes can't be in error

The sun's now really gone

Perhaps I am the one

Nothing can creep in sight

I'm turning on the lights



Turning on the lights

I'm turning on the lights [5x]



The sun's now really gone

Perhaps I am the one


BROOK BENTON lyrics - Endlessly



(Clyde Otis & Brook Benton)



Higher than the highest mountain

And deeper than the deepest sea

That's how I will love you, oh, darling, endlessly



Softer than the gentle breezes

And stronger than the wild oak tree

That's how I will hold you, oh, darling, endlessly



Oh, my love, you are my heaven

You are my kingdom, you are my crown

Oh, my love, you're all that I prayed for

You were made for these arms to surround



Faithful as a morning sunrise

And sacred as a love can be

That's how I will love you, oh darling, endlessly



Darling, endlessly

Darling, endlessly


NEIL DIAMOND lyrics - You've Got Your Troubles



I see that worried look upon your face

You've got your troubles, I've got mine



She's found somebody else

To take your place

You've got your troubles, I've got mine



I too have lost my love today

And all of my dreams have blown away

And so forgive me if I seem unkind

You've got your troubles, I've got mine



I'd help another time, another place

You've got your troubles, I've got mine



She used to love me, that I know

And it don't seem so long ago

That we were walking

And we were talking

The way lovers do



You need some sympathy

Well, so do I

You've got your troubles, I've got mine

I too have lost my love today

And all of my dreams have blown away

You've got your troubles, I've got mine

You've got your troubles, I've got mine


GLENN HUGHES lyrics - The Only One



there is no softer voice

you are my angel of the morning

you are my only choice

this must be heaven, I hear you callin'



one touch is all I need

you got me beggin' on my

hands and my knees

one look, now I can see

I've gotta break away from these chains



Chorus:



you're the only one

the only one who makes me feel

you're the only one

the only one who is for real



I need you next to me

I need your body closer

against my skin

I can hardly wait

you just can't hide my love

won't you let me in



one touch is all I need

you got me beggin' on my

hands and my knees

one look, now I can see

I've gotta break away from these chains



you're the only one

the only one who makes me feel

you're the only one

the only one who is for real only one


CROSBY, STILLS, NASH & YOUNG lyrics - American Dream



(Neil Young)



I used to see you on every T. V.

Your smiling face looked back at me.

I used to see you on every T. V.

Your smiling face looked back at me.

Then they caught you with the girl next door,

People's money piled on the floor,

Accusations that you try to deny,

Revelations and rumors begin to fly.



Now you think about reaching out

Maybe get some help from above.

Now you think about reaching out

Maybe get some help from above.

Reporters crowd around your house.

Going through your garbage like a pack of hounds,

Speculating what they may find out,

It don't matter now, you're all washed up.



You wake up in the middle of the night.

Your sheets are wet and your face is white,

You tried to make a good thing last,

How could something so good, go bad, so fast?



American dream, American dream

American dream, American dream.



Don't know when things went wrong,

Might have been when you were young and strong.

Don't know when things went wrong,

Might have been when you were young and strong.

Reporters crowd around your house.

Going through your garbage like a pack of hounds,

Speculating what they may find out,

It don't matter now, you're all washed up.



Don't know when things went wrong,

Might have been when you were young and strong.

American dream, American dream.

Don't know when things went wrong,

Might have been when you were young and strong.

American dream, American dream.


CHAKA KHAN lyrics - The Best Is Yet To Come



Out of the tree of life I just picked me a plum

You came along and everything's startin' to hum

Still, it's a real good bet, the best is yet to come



Best is yet to come and babe, won't that be fine?

You think you've seen the sun, but you ain't seen it shine



A-Wait till the warm-up's underway

Wait till our lips have met

And wait till you see that sunshine day

You ain't seen nothin' yet



The best is yet to come and babe, won't it be fine?

Best is yet to come, come the day you're mine



Come the day you're mine

I'm gonna teach you to fly

We've only tasted the wine

We're gonna drain the cup dry



Wait till your charms are right for these arms to surround

You think you've flown before, but baby, you ain't left the ground



A-Wait till you're locked in my embrace

Wait till I draw you near

A-Wait till you see that sunshine place

Ain't nothin' like it here



The best is yet to come and babe, won't it be fine?

The best is yet to come, come the day you're mine



Come the day you're mine

And you're gonna be mine

LOBO lyrics - Stoney



(Lobo / Billy Meshel)



I've known her since we both were kids,

I recall the silly things we did

She would want to ride up on my back

To keep from stepping on a crack

I didn't think of it back then

But even when she did not win

She was happy just to play

Stoney likes to live out everyday



Stoney, happy all the time

Stoney, live is summertime

The joy you find in living everyday

Stoney, how I love your simple ways



The times when no one understood

Seems that Stoney always would

We walk for hours in the sand

She would always try and hold my hand



Now I don't recollect the time

I fell in love with this old friend of mine

Or when I first saw in her eyes

What she tried so not to hide.


PROCOL HARUM lyrics - In Held 'Twas In I



(Brooker / Fisher / Reid)



[Glimpses of Nirvana]

In the darkness of the night, only occasionally relieved by glimpses of Nirvana as seen through other people's windows, wallowing in a morass of self-despair made only more painful by the knowledge that all I am is of my own making...

When everything around me, even the kitchen ceiling, has collapsed and crumbled without warning. And I am left, standing alive and well, looking up and wondering why and wherefore.

At a time like this, which exists maybe only for me, but is nonetheless real, if I can communicate, and in the telling and the bearing of my soul anything is gained, even though the words which I use are pretentious and make you cringe with embarrassment, let me remind you of the pilgrim who asked for an audience with the Dalai Lama.

He was told he must first spend five years in contemplation. After the five years, he was ushered into the Dalai Lama's presence, who said, 'Well, my son, what do you wish to know?' So the pilgrim said, 'I wish to know the meaning of life, father.'

And the Dalai Lama smiled and said, 'Well my son, life is like a beanstalk, isn't it?'

Held close by that which some despise

which some call fake, and others lies

And somewhat small

for one so tall

a doubting Thomas who would be?

It's written plain for all to see

for one who I am with no more

it's hard at times, it's awful raw

They say that Jesus healed the sick and helped the poor

and those unsure

believed his eyes

- a strange disguise

Still write it down, it might be read

nothing's better left unsaid

only sometimes, still no doubt

it's hard to see, it all works out



['Twas Tea-time at the Circus]

'Twas tea-time at the circus: King Jimi, he was there

Through hoops he skipped, high wires he tripped, and all the while the glare

of the aching, baking spotlight beat down upon his cloak

and though the crowd clapped furiously they could not see the joke

'Twas tea-time at the circus, though some might not agree

as jugglers danced, and horses pranced and clowns clowned endlessly

But trunk to tail the elephants quite silent, never spoke

and though the crowd clapped desperately they could not see the joke



[In the Autumn of My Madness]

In the autumn of my madness when my hair is turning grey

for the milk has finally curdled and I've nothing left to say

When all my thoughts are spoken (save my last departing birds)

bring all my friends unto me and I'll strangle them with words

In the autumn of my madness which in coming won't be long

for the nights are now much darker and the daylight's not so strong

and the things which I believed in are no longer quite enough

for the knowing is much harder and the going's getting rough



[Look to Your Soul]

I know if I'd been wiser this would never have occurred

but I wallowed in my blindness so it's plain that I deserve

for the sin of self-indulgence when the truth was writ quite clear

I must spend my life amongst the dead who spend their lives in fear

of a death that they're not sure of, of a life they can't control

It's all so simple really if you just look to your soul

Some say that I'm a wise man, some think that I'm a fool

It doesn't matter either way: I'll be a wise man's fool

For the lesson lies in learning and by teaching I'll be taught

for there's nothing hidden anywhere, it's all there to be sought

And so if you know anything look closely at the time

at others who remain untrue and don't commit that crime


DIO lyrics - Dream Evil



All's well at the midnight hour

You're ready to fly

Don't think about the darkness

Or the rumbling in the sky



Somewhere on the morning road

Just waiting for you

Somethings that just could never be

Are calling up a spell so you can see, yeah!



Dream evil

The dark that you find in the back of your mind

Dream evil - Dream evil



Don't go to the edge of rainbows

Don't close your eyes

Like things that can't be real

The truth is really lies



Don't wish on a rising star you should

Open up the door

Where things that just should never be

Are calling up a spell so you can see, yeah!



Dream evil

The dark that you find

Can come out of your mind

Dream evil

Take you away



Oh no it's the midnight hour

Don't leave me alone



Those things that just should never be

Are calling up a spell so you can see



Dream evil

Dream evil

Dream evil

Dream evil

Dream evil



Oh no it's the midnight hour

Don't open the door

Don't go to the edge of rainbows

Don't sleep any more

You'll dream evil

You'll dream evil

You'll dream evil

Dream evil


PETER GABRIEL lyrics - Handauflegen



Sass in der Ecke vom Schnellrestaurant -

mit Plastikblumen auf der Fensterbank

Kein Wunder mehr - Brotlaib und Fisch

hol das schmutzige Geschirr vom Tisch

Bin heute so empfindlich - es geht auch ohne Stimulanz



Probier jetzt jede Moeglichkeit, leb in einem Zwischenreich

Der Ozean ist zu, Statik blitzt - elektrischer Schlag

aus kaltem Gefuehl

Augen starren aus der Ferne - bewacht vom stummen Spion



Die Waerme fliesst noch in mir

und ich spuer, du kennst micht gut

Kein Glueck, kein Los zu fassen

Alles liegt allein bei dir

Es ist wie es ist

weil nichts Zufall ist - auch hier



Komm zu mir - leg die Haende auf

Bin bereit - leg die Haende auf

Glaube! - leg die Haende auf



Pflanze Rosen ohne Dornen fuer selt'ne Braeuche

Fette Maenner spielen mit Gartenschlaeuchen

Maedchen am Pool haben Wahnsinnsdurst

ihr Cocktailquirl spiesst die Wurst

Der Ton ist laut, das Licht ist weich -

ich steige in das Zwischenreich



Die Waerme fliesst noch in mir

und ich spuer, du kennst micht gut

Es ist wie es ist

weil nichts Zufall ist - auch hier



Komm zu mir - leg die Haende auf

Bin bereit - leg die Haende auf

Glaube! - leg die Haende auf



Leg die Haende auf

Leg die Haende auf

Leg die Haende auf, auf mich

FRANK ZAPPA lyrics - Brown Shoes Don't Make It



Brown shoes don't make it

Brown Shoes don't make it

Quit school, why fake it

Brown shoes don't make it



TV dinner by the pool

Watch your brother grow a beard

Got another year of school

You're okay, he's too weird

Be a plummer

He's a bummer

He's a bummer every summer

Be a loyal plastic robot

For a world that doesn't care

That's right



Smile at every ugly

Shine on your shoes and cut your hair



Be a jerk-go to work

Be a jerk-go to work

Be a jerk-go to work

Be a jerk-go to work

Do your job, and do it right

Life's a ball

TV tonight

Do you love it

Do you hate it

There it is

The way you made it



A world of secret hungers

Perverting the men who make your laws

Every desire is hidden away

In a drawer in a desk by a Naugahyde chair

On a rug where they walk and drool

Past the girls in the office



We see in the back

Of the City Hall mind

The dream of a girl about thirteen

Off with her clothes and into a bed

Where she tickles his fancy

All night long



His wile's attending an orchid show

She squealed for a week to get him to go

But back in the bed his teen-age queen

Is rocking and rolling and acting obscene

Baby, baby. ..

Baby, baby. . .

Cimmie then cakes, uh!

If I do I'm gonna lose my...



And he loves it, he loves it

It curls up his toes

She wipes his fat neck

And it lights up his nose

But he cannot be fooled

Old City Hall Fred

She's nasty, she's nasty

She digs it in bed

That's right



Do it again, ha

And do it some more

Hey, that does it, by golly

And she's nasty for sure

Nasty nasty nasty

Nasty nasty nasty

Only thirteen, and she knows how to nasty



She's a dirty young mind, corrupted

Corroded

Well she's thirteen today

And I hear she gets loaded



If she were my daughter, I'd...

What would you do, Frankie?

If she were my daughter, I'd...

What would you do, Frankie?

Check this out

Smother my daughter in chocolate syrup

And strap her on again, oh baby

Smother that girl in chocolate syrup

And strap her on again, oh baby

She's my teen-age baby

She turns me on

I'd like to make her do a nasty

On the White House lawn

Smother my daughter in chocolate syrup

And boogie 'till the cows come home



Time to go home

Madge is on the phone

Got to meet the Gurney's and a dozen gray attorneys

TV dinner by the pool

I'm so glad I finished school

Life is such a ball

I run the world from City Hall


STEVEN CURTIS CHAPMAN lyrics - Maria



(Steven Curtis Chapman and Mary Beth Chapman and James Isaac Elliott)



[Matt 25:37-40]



Maria - she's too young to understand, but old enough to fell the pain

Of living where no love can grow with no hope for change

Maria - her world is an angry place but she makes sure that scars don't show

And with every hurt her tender heart is growing cold (but)



[Chorus:]

Who, who's gonna love Maria

Who, who's gonna touch her with the tenderness she longs for

Like a desert longs for rain

She's got a hunger deep inside and with every tear she cries

She wonders if there's someone out there somewhere

Who's gonna love Maria



(Maria) She looks in the mirror now and the little girl is gone

But still the search for someone's love goes on and on for Maria

But does anybody care or even notice her at all

Is anyone listening close enough to hear her call (and who)



[Chorus:]

Who, who's gonna love Maria

Who, who's gonna touch her with the tenderness she longs for

Like a desert longs for rain

She's got a hunger deep inside and with every tear she cries

She wonders if there's someone out there



[Bridge:]

Maria if you can hear me, please know that you're not forgotten

Somebody's trying to get to you

B. B. KING lyrics - A World Full Of Strangers



(Will Jennings / Joe Sample)



You and me don't see eye to eye

On every little thing

We've missed a lot of sunshine

And caught a lot of rain

If you want to leave I can't make you stay

But there is something I have to say



No matter how high you get

Or how low you go

There's one thing darling

You ought to know



There's a world full of strangers out there

A world full of strangers

Beware

There's a world full of strangers out there

And if it gets too strange

Just come on home



Restless hearts, looking for a love

Are waiting in the street

They're all prepared to give you

The bitter with the sweet

If you wake someday and you reach for me

Well you know, this is where I'll be



No matter how high you get

Or how low you go

There's one thing darling

You ought to know



There's a world full of strangers out there

A world full of strangers

Beware

There's a world full of strangers out there

And if it gets too strange

Just come on home


SWEET lyrics - New Shoes



(Scott/Tucker/Priest)



I got myself some new shoes

To walk away from my blues

I got myself some new shoes

Got no time for bad news in my new shoes



You, you where the one

I was a young man

You where temptation

Dreams off you every night

Change when i turn on the light

Don't give me those love sleepness nights anymore



I got myself some new shoes

To walk away from my blues

Got myself some new shoes

Got no time for bad news in my new shoes



Signs, all left behind

Now i'm a changet man

A new sensation

Circules are turning around

I'll keep my feet on the ground

Now that i found what it's like to free



I got myself some new shoes

To walk away from my blues

Got myself some new shoes

Got no time for bad news in my new shoes



I got myself some new shoes

To walk away from my blues

Got myself some new shoes

Got no time for bad news in my new shoes



New Shoes, new shoes, new shoes, green door


YES lyrics - Give And Take



(Jon Anderson, Steve Howe, Jonathan Elias)



This is a right

total opposition

I believe in you

can't you hear me

it doesn't change

how we hurt each other

when the road gets rough

can't you hear me



Too much riding on the rhythm

too much gliding by the range

you know all the indications

don't be afraid, afraid of letting go



Just give & take

give what you have

I'll give it all to you

Give & take

I've made up my mind

we've just got to see it through

make me the reason

your answer to love

as another day goes by

think about, think about it

some things just happen for love (x2)

some things just happen



Make the rhythm

don't break the energy

it's never too late

to make a turnaround

you've got to move

in all directions

I believe in you

what we're going though



I know you're so complicated

I know always making time

I see it takes you to the very edge

don't be afraid, afraid of letting go



(chorus)



Too much riding on the rhythm

too much gliding by the range

too much takes you to the very edge

don't be afraid, afraid of letting go



Just give & take

give what you have

I'll give it all to you

give & take

don't be afraid to let go

of the silence that hits you

just give & take

get what you can

it's all that you can do



Just give & take

don't take too much

give & take

you gotta talk, talk, talk

reason to talk, talk, talk

get up, talk, talk, talk

out your system

talk, talk, talk

get out your system

talk, talk, talk



Give and take...

THE TRAVELING WILBURYS lyrics - Not Alone Anymore



(The Traveling Wilburys)



You always said that I'd be back again

That I'd come running to you in the end

I thought that you were on your own

And now I find you're not alone



I'll see you through the rain

Through the heartache and pain

It hurts like never before

You're not alone any more



You always said that I would know someday

Just how it feels when your love walks away

I let you down, I let you go

I lost you, how was I to know



I'll see you through the rain

Through the heartache and pain

It hurts like never before

You're not alone any more



I never knew I could feel this way

I never could see past yesterday

You feel that everything is gone

I feel it too, you're not alone



I'll see you through the rain

Every heartache and pain

It hurts like never before

You're not alone, you're not alone

You're not alone any more, any more, any more


STYX lyrics - Lonely People



(Dennis DeYoung)



"Hey, Hey out there knock it off will ya?

Hey give it a rest will ya? I'm tryin' to get some sleep!

Want me to call the cops?

I tell ya Erma I can't till next week when they start to tear that damn old theatre down."



The rain was hot, the streets were empty

As downtown closed her eyes

The movie house stood in silence as I said my last good-byes

Her silver screen was stained with memories

As Cagney shot them down

And as I watched I was that hero

In dreamlands lost and found



Oh my God, well we both are empty Paradise and me

Do you believe I'm still chasing rainbows

When everywhere I see



Lonely People, Lonely People

Up above these ghetto streets

In penthouse suites they sit and stare

Lonely People, Lonely People

They smile and say they're fine

But behind their eyes they just don't care

Lonely People

They just don't care

Lonely People, Lonely People



Lonely People, Lonely People

Beneath these neon streets in subway seats they crowd for air

Lonely People, Lonely People

So close and yet so far they share the secrets of despair

Lonely People, Lonely People (repeat and fade...)

ROD STEWART lyrics - I Wouldn't Ever Change A Thing



(Rod Stewart)



I wouldn't change a thing if I could live it all again



Ah listen

It's funny you know when you sit down

and think about what you had

About the friends you used to know

What happened, where did they all go

Can you remember happy hours

spent drinkin' and thinkin'

We thought we could change the world

And we never, never, never, never, never

never thought we could get much older then



We were the ones who loved to love the right to love

We'd bring it on home with the right song

played at the right time

What happened to the girl that you loved once and left

young man did you break her heart

Did she live, and did she marry,

did she ever think on your face again

Ah now hold on a minute



I wouldn't change a thing if I could live it all again

Ah yeah



I think what you say is all so right

but I find it hard to jog my memories

Don't worry Lou you may never get another chance yeah



Yes I think what you say is all so right

but I find it hard to move my memories

Say it again with a lot more feelin'



And I think what you say is all so right

but I find it hard to find my memories

Don't sing so serious you make me feel so sad



But if I was true to myself

I would probably find it was a tear in my eye

that stopped me from believing you

Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry don't worry



You know my tongue gets tired

when I think back on all of the things we do

But I wonder if I'll remember these few precious things

as years pass me by

Ah when young bodies that've grown older

and mind's become dimmer

I'll point the finger back in time



I said I wouldn't change a thing if I could

if I could, if I could live it all again, yeah


VANESSA WILLIAMS lyrics - And My Heart Goes



You make my heart go.....

Inside out you send me baby

Round and round your world

Upside down you make me crazy

For you love; it's out of control



Like an evening star

Shining brightly through me

When you look into my eyes

I know we have something

I'm following my heart

Trusting where love will lead

Surrendering my guard

I found security; oh in you

Darling you're the one for me

Tell me did you know



[Chorus:]

You make my heart go.....

Inside out you send me baby

Round and round your world

Upside down you make me crazy

For you love; it's out of control



Like a fairy tale

You kissed life into me

You cast my fears away

Finally I'm free

Anyone can see I'm crazy for you

You're everything I need

You're all I want to do

It's true loving you is magical

Tell me did you know



[Chorus]



And my heart goes

Inside and out

And my heart feels

I'm losin control

Cause my heart knows

The only one for me,

Uh baby can't you see

And my heart goes

You turn me upside down

And my heart feels

You turn me round and round

Cause my heart knows

Baby don't you know



[Chorus]



You make my heart go

Ooh baby, so in love

You make my heart go

You know, it's for your love



You turn it upside down

You turn it round and round

You make my heart go

And my heart feels

Cause my heart knows

You make my heart go


STEVE PERRY lyrics - I Stand Alone



(Foster, Bayer-Sager, Perry)



I know the sound of each rock and stone

I embrace what others fear

You are not to roam in this forgotten place

Just the likes of me welcome here



Everything breathes

And I know each breath

More than enough for this man



Like every tree stands on its own

Reaching for the sky I stand alone

I share my world with no one else

All by myself, I stand alone



Deep in the darkness my heart

My heart still sees

Everything I'll never be

Behind these eyes I go everywhere

There's no need for sympathy



Everything breathes

And I know each breath

In my world there's no comprise



Like every tree stands on its own

Oh, reaching for the sky I stand alone

I share my world with no one else

All by myself



Still I will remember

Still I run with you, yeah

And when it's time for you to go

Take me in your heart



Like every tree stands on its own

Oh, reaching for the sky I stand alone

I share my world with no one else



All by myself, I stand alone

All by myself

All by myself

I stand alone

MARIANNE FAITHFULL lyrics - Prologue



Midway, this way of life we're bound upon

I woke to find myself in a dark wood,

Where the right road was wholly lost, and gone.



Aye me, how hard to speak of it,

That rude and rough and stubborn forest,

The mere breath of memory stirs the old fear in the blood.



But when, at last, I stood beneath a steep hillside,



Which closed that valley's wandering maze,

Whose dread had pierced me to the heart root deep.



Then I looked up, and saw the morning rays

Mantle its shoulder from that planet bright,

Which guides men's feet aright,

On all their ways.


LORETTA LYNN lyrics - Drive You Out Of My Mind



(Loretta Lynn - Lorene Allen)



I know I shouldn't bother you cause you asked me not to call

But tonight I'm not responsible for what I do at all

You're drivin' me out of my mind is that what you want to do

Well do me a little favor and drive you out of my mind too

Drive you out of my mind erase the mem'ry of your touch

I don't believe I'm askin' for too much

You're drivin' me out of my mind and you know this is true

Well do me a little favor and drive you out of my mind too



Now don't tell me you don't have time cause the problems just can't wait

If I'll wait until tomorrow it just might be too late

You're drivin' me out of my mind by lovin' someone new

So do me a little favor and drive you out of my mind too

Drive you out of my mind...


JOHN HIATT lyrics - Window On The World



A broken promise i kept too long

A greasy shade and a curtain drawn

A broken glass and a heart gone wrong

That's my window on the world



A cup of coffee in a shaky hand

Wakin' up in a foreign land

Tryin' to act like i got somethin' planned

That's my window on the world



[Chorus 1:]

That's my window on the world

Could you stand a little closer, girl

Don't let mama cut those curfs

That's my window on the world



In broad daylight that circus tent pulled up stakes

I don't know where it went

A close dark room with a busted vent

That's my window on the world



I think about you when i'm countin' sheep

I think about you, then i can't sleep

I think that ocean is just so deep

That's my window on the world



[Chorus 2:]

That's my window on the world

Could you stand a little closer, girl

The queen of Sheba meets the duke of earle

That's my window on the world



Down on indiana avenue

Wes and jimmy, man they played the blues

I guess they were only passin' through

That's my window on the world



[Chorus 1:]

That's my window on the world

Could you stand a little closer, girl

Don't let mama cut those curfs

That's my window on the world



[Chorus 2:]

That's my window on the world

Could you stand a little closer, girl

The queen of Sheba meets the duke of earle

That's my window on the world


JOHN PRINE lyrics - The Moon Is Down



The moon is down

All over town

The forecast is grey

Now that she's gone away



The stars in the skies

Fell out of her eyes

They shattered when they hit the ground

And now the moon is down



The sun will be fine

It'll still shine all the time

The sky will be blue

And do what it's supposed to do

Ya see gravity pulls

But it can't keep you around

It'll be one long day

And now the moon is down



The moon is down

All over town

The stars in the skies

Fell out of her eyes

The gravity pulls

But it can't hold you down

It'll be one long day

Now the moon is down



It'll be on long day

Now the moon is down


WARREN ZEVON lyrics - Transverse City



(Stefan Arngrim & Warren Zevon)



Told my little Pollyanna

There's a place for you and me

We'll go down to Transverse City

Life is cheap and Death is free

Past the condensation silos

Past the all-night trauma stand

We'll be there before tomorrow

Pollyanna take my hand



Show us endless neon vistas

Castles made of laser lights

Take us to the shopping sector

In the vortex of the night

Past the shiny mylar towers

Past the ravaged tenements

To a place we can't remember

For a time we won't forget



Here's the hum of desperation

Heres the test tube mating call

Here's the latest carbon cycle

Here's the clergy of the mall

Here's the song of shear and torsion

Here's the bloodbath magazine

Here's the harvest of contusions

Here's the narcoleptic dream



Told my little Pollyanna

Here's a place where we can stay

We have come to see tomorrow

We have given up today

Down among the dancing quanta

Everything exists at once

Up above in Transverse City

Every weekend lasts for months



Here's the hum of desperation

Heres the test tube mating call

Here's the latest carbon cycle

Here's the clergy of the mall

Here's the witness and the victim

Here's the relatives' remains

Here's the well-known double helix

Here's the poisoned waves of grain

Here's the song of shear and torsion

Here's the bloodbath magazine

Here's the harvest of contusions

Here's the narcoleptic dream

Here's the hum of desperation

CHAKA KHAN lyrics - I Want



(Donald Bowden, Janice Dempsey and James McKinney)



Baby when you need me

Wintertime or anytime at all

I'll be right there for you

Be right there whenever you call



And I say baby I'm addicted

I'm addicted to your love

I love you more and more

More and more than all the stars above



And I say boy I love the way you walk

And I say boy even when you talk

You rock my world

Feel so good to me

Don't you know that you're my fantasy



Want - I want your lovin'

Need - I need ya

Want - I want your lovin'

Need - I need ya

Can't ya see

Your love is good for me



Baby when you need me

Wintertime or anytime at all

I'll be right there for you

Be right there whenever you call



And I say baby you can do it

You know how to love me, love me right

You know just what to do

Know just how to fill my appetite

CHRIS ISAAK lyrics - Wanderin'



Big clouds pick on the little ones.

Evenin shade drives out the sun.

Sorry for the stuff I've done.

To me you're still the only one.



I'm wanderin'.... Lost and wanderin



Cold winds blow in from the edge of town.

Circus tents all got blown down.

All the freaks are runnin round.

And I lost every friend I've found.



I'm wanderin'.... out here wanderin



I have only one regret.

I hurt everyone I've met.

And as I drift from town to town.

There's nothing left to hold me down.

I'm wanderin'.. I am wanderin'



Show time's over in a crowd heads home.

Here I sit left on my own.

What have I done that's so wrong,

that I should always be alone.



I'm wanderin'.. out here wanderin'



If you give me another chance I still wouldn't make it.

If you told me what to say I still couldn't fake it.

If you said that you loved me it still wouldn't matter.

Baby, baby, baby, I'm out here wanderin'

Out here wanderin'.. Lost and wanderin'

I am wanderin'

EDDIE COCHRAN lyrics - Summertime Blues



Well, I'm gonna raise a fuss

I'm gonna raise a holler

About a working all summer

Just to try to earn a dollar

Well, time I called my baby

Try to get a date

My boss says, no dice son

You gotta work late

Sometimes I wonder

What I'm a gonna do

But there ain't no cure

For the summertime blues



Oh, well my Mom and Poppa told me, son

You gotta make some money

If you want to use the car

To go ridin' next Sunday

Well I didn't go to work

Told the boss I was sick

Well you can't use the car

Cause you didn't work a lick

Sometimes I wonder

What I'm a gonna do

But there ain't no cure

For the summertime blues



I'm gonna take two weeks

Gonna have a fine vacation

I'm gonna take my problem

To the United Nations

Well I called my congressman

And he said, whoa

I'd like to help you son

But you're too young to vote

Sometimes I wonder

What I'm a gonna do

But there ain't no cure

For the summertime blues

JAMES TAYLOR lyrics - Only For Me



Down the end of this barroom, out of sight of the light in the window.

His mind in his whiskey and his body in a folding chair, far beyond repair.

I enter his vision, he watches me look for my seat.

He makes his decision and he stands to his feet, Lord, it's a long way down.



It happened to me, wonderful sight. Only for me, only for you.

It happened to be a light shining through

from one who was lost and found just like me and you.



Old man says, "Young man, my you're looking pretty green,

like a stranger to this kind of place.

Come sit at my table, come and look into my face, I've got a story to tell.

There was a father and son, but that was a long time ago.

And when the time came to run, I just couldn't say no so I left them behind."



It happened to me, wonderful sight. Only for me, only for you.

It happened to be a light shining through

from one who was lost and found just like me and you.



We have seen it before in times of great sorrow

that human compassion will flow from a well that has long run dry.



It happened to me, wonderful sight. Only for me, only for you.

It happened to be a light shining through

from one who was lost and found just like me and you.


STYX lyrics - World Tonite



(Glen Burtnik)



A child is born in the world tonite, underneath the full moonlight

And on the nightway a fire starts, diesel engines & broken hearts

The girls wanna dance and the boys wanna fight

Gonna get rockin' in the world tonite

The black cat howls and the mad dog bites

Somthing gonna happen in the world tonite



Now up in heaven the starts align, stirring up the world tonite

In the jungle the power's strong, and tribes are restless all night long

And the girls wanna dance, the boys wanna fight

Gonna get rockin' in the world tonite

Tension's rising, you can cut it with a knoife

Sticky situation in the world tonite

The world tonite

Big moon staring at the world tonite



Young blood run free,

You can be anything you wanna be

Young blood run wild

You've got the will of a king and the heart of a child



Yeah so gimme a beat cause here I come.

Tonite's the night I'm

Gonna bang my drum. Gotta million watts on the tip of my tongue

And I feel like a trigger on a loaded gun.

Crank up the station. Shake the foundation. Wake up the nation

We got a situation where someone's got a button, connected to a bomb

And it don't matter whose side you're on

They can have it all back by the morning light,

All we want is the world tonite.



Girls wanna dance, the boys wanna fight

Gonna get rocking in the world tonite

Read all about it in black and white

Everybody gone crazy in the world tonite


FANCY lyrics - Wild Thing



Wild thing

You make my heart sing

You make everything groovy

Wild thing



Wild thing, I think I love you

But I wanna know for sure

Come on and hold me tight

I love you



Wild thing

You make my heart sing

You make everything groovy

Wild thing



Wild thing, I think you move me

But I wanna know for sure

So c'mon and hold me tight

You move me



Wild thing

You make my heart sing

You make everything groovy

Wild thing



Wild thing

C'mon, c'mon, wild thing

Shake it, shake it, wild thing


SAMHAIN lyrics - I Am Misery



Your life caves in

And I am there

Pulling you back from the shoulders down

And though you suffer you will be mine

I always win I am misery

Ohhh



I make your pain and suffering infernal

Turn your body inside out

Put you past your breath and tears

When all your loss is misery

Ohhh



I give you a glimpse of hope in the darkness

Let you think that this will end

And then securely nestle on your neck

And drag you back to misery

Ohhh



I love this place

I love this fuckin' job

I love this place

I love to give you pain


WET WET WET lyrics - You've Had It



Where have you got to lately

Where are you going to be

And I thought about it yesterday now baby

It's in my cuts now baby

As deep as yours

And the scars from this are gonna last for ever

And ever



You've had it

What you're getting from me

You've had it

Now what's it going to be

You've had it

What you're getting from me

But all I wanna do is be with you



Now that you've got me baby

You're just as sharp as me

And I'm glad you've cut me off

Writing my lies on the back of your hand

Tearing me up and watching you land

Sitting your heart on the sofa with me

NICO lyrics - Little Sister



Don't call me home, little sister

Before the night is done

My love and I are fleeing

Running into the sun.



Turn to fly, go away

Little bird, please don't stay

Fare thee well.



Take up all your jewels and gold,

Bury them away in the earth.

Let your memory reduce them to dust

But don't forget the knife that was thrust.



Turn to fly, go away

Little bird, please don't stay

Fare thee well.



Frozen kiss by the fountain

Running into the sea

Where shadows choose their horrors

Designed for music.



Turn to fly, go away,

Little bird, please don't stay,

Fare thee well.


WILSON PICKETT lyrics - If You Need Me



(Wilson Pickett, Robert Bateman and Sonny Sanders)



If you need me, I wantcha to call me

Said if you need me, all ya gotta do is call me

Don't wait too lo-o-ong if things go wrong

I-I-I'll be home, whoa-oh-oh, home



If you want me, send for me

I said if you want me, want, all ya gotta do is send for me

Don't wait too lo-o-ong, just-a pick up your phone

And I-I-I'll (hurry home where I belong)



[Spoken:]

People always said, darlin', that I didn't mean you no good.

And you would need me someday.

Way deep down in my heart I know I've done the best I could.

That's why I know that one of these days, it won't be long, you'll come walkin' through that same door (I'll hurry home).

And I can imagine in my mind that these are the words that you'll be sayin'.



I still love you, always thinkin' of you

And I still love, love, always thinkin' of you

Don't wait too lo-o-ong, just-a pick up your phone

And I-I-I'll hurry home (I'll hurry home)

Right there, where I belong


FRANK ZAPPA lyrics - I'm Not Satisfied



Yeah!



Got no place to go

(I'm tired of walking

Up and down the street all by myself)

No love left for me to give

(I tried and tried

But no one wants me the way I am)

Why should I pretend I like

To roam from door to door

Maybe I'll just kill myself

I just don't care no more



Because

I'm not satisfied

Everything I've tried

I don't like the way

Life has been abusing me



Yeah!

Yeah!



Who would care

If I was gone

(I never met no one

Who'd care if I was dead and gone)

Who needs me

To care for them

(Nobody needs me

Why should I just hang around?)

Why should I just sit and watch

While the others smile

I just wish that someone cared

If I was happy for a while

Because

I'm not satisfied

Everything I've tried

I don't like the way

Life has been abusing me



Yeah!

J. J. CALE lyrics - City Girls



(J. J. Cale)



City girls they're all right

They just want you for the night

But when the morning comes at dawn

City girls they all gone

You know the daylight can be sad

When you feel that you've been had

Only night time brings the price

City girl she thinks it's right

What's a poor boy going to do

If he wants a girl like you

Can't afford no diamond rings

Or all those other fancy things

Only one thing I can give

A song down where you live

I'll sing to you hear the sound

City girl please stay around

STRAY CATS lyrics - Storm The Embassy



Fifteen man taken captive in a hostile foreign land

Scorchin' sun beaming down onto miles and miles of sand

A mideast country being ruled

By a man who thinks it's fun

To hold our people in return

For a sjah that's on the run



I think it's funny

Freedom takes money



It's a heartache and it's hard luck

Well that's tough shit

Man it's no fun

Storm the Iranian embassy

Before they start shootin' down you and me



Scourge of suits in control

Of the diplomaticness

While the nations of the world

Look on and they care less

The Soviet Union won't agree

To an economic plan

And then they laugh and march their troops into Afghanistan



Orders from Moscow

Invade Teheran now



It's a heartache and it's hard luck

Well that's tough shit

Man it's no fun

Storm the Iranian embassy

Before they start shootin' at you and me



A nation worries and reads the papers

Hoping that no-one has died

Hearin' rumours that the hostages

Will soon be tried as spies

Demonstrations on the street

Saying that the end is near

The man from New York Times on vacation

Wants to know what happened here



Agressive acts now

We want the best now

Fifteen moms crying

Is my son dying?



It's a heartache and it's hard luck

Well that's tough shit

Man it's no fun

Storm the Iranian embassy

Before they start shootin' at you and me

LOU REED lyrics - I Believe



Valerie Solanis took the elevator

got off at the 4th floor

Valerie Solanis took the elevator

got off at the 4th floor

She pointed the gun at Andy saying

you cannot control me anymore



I believe there's got to be some retribution

I believe an eye for an eye is elemental

I believe that something's wrong if she's alive right now



Valerie Solanis took three steps

pointing at the floor

Valerie Solanis waved her gun

pointing at the floor

From inside her idiot madness spoke

and bang, Andy fell onto the floor



I believe life's serious enough for retribution

I believe being sick is no excuse and

I believe I would've pulled the switch on her myself



When they got him to the hospital

his pulse was gone they thought that he was dead

His guts were pouring from his wounds

onto the floor they thought that he was dead

Not until years later would

the hospital do to him what she could not, what she could not



"Where were you, you didn't come to see me"

Andy said, "I think I died, why didn't you come to see me"

Andy said, "it hurt so much, they took blood from my hand"



I believe there's got to be some retribution

I believe there's got to be some retribution

I believe we are all the poorer for it now



Visit me, visit me

Visit me, visit me

Visit me, why didn't you visit me

Visit me, why didn't you visit me

Visit me, visit me

Visit me, why didn't you visit me


TINA TURNER lyrics - Girls



(David Bowie & Erdal Kizilcay)



Girls, we come and we go

We kiss, come and we go

Like a breeze, brushing your cheek

Like pain, like the tears on a face



Girls, we come and we go

Like spirits, we vanish at dawn

My heart, suspended in time

Like you, vanish like tears in the rain



Girls, we take our loves away

Like spirits living so far away

Girls, pretending to break down and cry

Girls, whispering wind, what are we giving away

We used to be so happy

Remember, remember, so happy

I never knew, how lonely, how lonely

How lonely could feel


BAD RELIGION lyrics - Scrutiny



One - two - three - four - five - six - seven - eight!

Days go marching by

There and back I never wait for a confident reply

Truth is stark and leaves its mark as limited constraints

And the most difficult part is accepting what the future may bring



It seems like a lifetime of scrutiny

Wither the path, whether worth the fee

A lifetime of scrutiny

And it seems as though I can't be sure of anything anymore!



One - two - three - four - five - six - seven - eight!

Years go flying by

No one seems to hesitate or cast an earnest eye

Judgment comes in many forms but never scare or shy

And the litany is long as the confidence is strong in their delight



It seems like a lifetime of scrutiny

Prejudicial waters wash over me

A lifetime of scrutiny

And the words just don't equate with sense or sanity anymore!



One - two - three - four - five - six - seven - eight!

The faces and the names

Shattered hopes and stolen dreams and no one left to blame

Is it possible to win this pointless mortal game?

'Cuz when death comes it's swift and my friend,

We end up and the same



It seems like a lifetime of scrutiny

Wither the path and whether worth the fee

A lifetime of scrutiny

And it seems as though I can't be sure of anything anymore!


CAROLE KING lyrics - A Night This Side Of Dying



I remember one young sister with rainbows in her eyes

Standing on a corner with the afternoon's supply

She spoke of other places, perhaps a better road

Then she asked if I could tell her where they kept the mother lode



Like a night this side of dying

Her day's inside the dropper on the shelf

When she hears her lifeline crying

Not a thing you say can stop her

When she just can't stop herself



I remember that July, the panic and the heat

The savage shine of summer, the strychnine in the street

The way they sold each other for a favor in glassine

The best of friends sold brothers for a dime of quinine dreams



Like a night this side of dying

Her day's inside the dropper on the shelf

Like the shelter she's been buying

Not a thing I've got can save her

When she just can't save herself

She just can't save herself


AEROSMITH lyrics - Hollywood



All night long

Hollywood

All night long



You're saddle sore

And on the grind

Just pushed you a little bit more



Don't mind if I do

It's Hollywood

Hot damn - hands in a jam

Never say can't

'Cause you know you can

In Hollywood



Don't be mesmerized

What goes on here

Ain't no surprise

As long as you'll be cool

In Hollywood

Oh, wee set the pace

Fill your nose

Despite your face

They'll make you Babylon

In Hollywood



Now you see it

Now you don't

Someone's gonna take it away

Now you see it

Now you won't

Every dog has it's day



Oh wee I got the cools

A brand new car

And the family jewels

And they won't stop me now

In Hollywood



Oh wee boogedy shoe

Got myself a new hairdo

I'm makin it somehow

In Hollywood



Now you see it

Now you don't

Someone's gonna take it away

Now you see it

Now you won't

Every dog has it's day



All night long

Hollywood

All night long



Hollywood

In time they'll build you up

And then they'll bring you down



Hollywood

You're a dream machine

Some day they'll burn the king for sellin out

Chew you up and spit you out

Just like heaven when things are good

But there ain't no hell like

Hollywood



Would you guess

What it's all about

You may be a lady

But I'll knock you out

Wrap my knuckles upside your head

Make you take back

Every damn thing you said

You play with me

Gonna pay the price

No ghost of a chance

I'm holdin the dice

You lie about this and

lie about that

Don't wanna hear

Nothing about no more crap



Now you see it

Now you don't

Someone's gonna take it away

Now you see it

Now you won't

Every dog has it's day



All night long

WOODY GUTHRIE lyrics - Hanukah Tree



Round and around my Hanukah tree

Round and around I go

Round and around my Hanukah tree

Because I love you so

Round and around my Hanukah tree

Round and around we go

Round and around I'll hold your hand

Because you love me so

Round and around my Hanukah tree

Round and around we go

Round and round I'll hold your hand

Because you love me so



Round and around our Hanukah tree

Round and around we go

Clap our hands as loud as we can

Because I love you so

Round and around our Hanukah tree

Round and around we go

Round and around our Hanukah tree

Because you love me so

Round and around our Hanukah tree

Round and around we go

Round and around our Hanukah tree

Because you love me so


PATTY LOVELESS lyrics - Dreaming My Dreams With You



I hope that I won't be that wrong anymore

Maybe I've learned this time

I hope that I find what I'm reaching for

The way that it is in my mind



Someday I'll get over you

I'll live to see it all through

But I'll always miss dreaming my dreams with you



But I won't let it change me, not if I can

I'd rather believe in love

Give it away as much as I can

To those that I'm fondest of



Someday I'll get over you

I'll live to see it all through

But I'll always miss dreaming my dreams with you



Someday I'll get over you

I'll live to see it all through

But I'll always miss dreaming my dreams with you



I hope that I won't be that wrong anymore

Maybe I've learned this time

I hope that I find what I'm reaching for

The way that it is in my mind



Someday I'll get over you

I'll live to see it all through

But I'll always miss dreaming my dreams with you



Someday I'll get over you

I'll live to see it all through

But I'll always miss dreaming my dreams with you

Gimme gimme gimme some lovin'

Tell me tell me tell me you want it

How's about an eight o'clock dinner

How's about a nine o'clock movie

Do you do you like fine wine now

Don't it don't it don't it taste fine now

Rock 'n' rock 'n' rock 'n' roll music

Get-a get-a get-a that beat now

When you leave me don't you just mizz me

Could we could we could we get married

Enough enough enough of goin' steady



Disco disco discoteque mama

Show me show me show me the boogie

Start a start a start a little dance now

Take a take a take a little chance now



Come on

Listen to "Da Doo Ron Ron" now

Listen to it "Be My Baby"

I know you're gonna love Phil Spector



Mona

Come-a come-a come-a come to me

Gimme gimme gimme some lovin'

Tell me tell me tell me you want it


GEORGE STRAIT lyrics - So Much Like My Dad



I know that I surprised you coming home,

It's not my usual time of year; but I've got myself a problem,

And I know that I might find the answer here.



Remember when I was dad's pride and joy and your little man,

Every time that I got hurt you were there to give a hand.

You would pick me up, and you'd kiss my hurt away.

Remember what you'd say,

"Boy you're getting more like him each and every day."



Can we have a talk like it was yesterday?

Your boy is back in trouble and he needs you right away.



She says she's gonna leave me, momma.

Nothing on God's green Earth would make her stay.

I can't live without her, momma,

But this time you can't kiss the hurt away.



But if I'm so much like my dad,

There must have been times you felt her way.

So tell me word for word what he said that always made you stay.



She says she's gonna leave me, momma.

But if I'm so much like my dad,

There must have been times you felt her way.

So tell me word for word what he said

That always made you stay.


KINGDOM COME lyrics - Mean Dirty Joe



Mean dirty joe

Where did you go

Stole your best friends love away

Left without a sound

Look at your face

Cold hard disgrace

Guilty of a broken trust

Oh, took his heart and threw it down



Mean dirty joe

Carry that load

Maybe you regret it now

Maybe you just don't

Now you're alone

Run down that road

Shouldn't have done that dirty deed

Oh, now you best keep movin' on



Where did you go

Where did you go

Go

And now you are all alone

So alone

And now you can't go home


BETTE MIDLER lyrics - God Give Me Strength



Now I have nothing, so God give me strength,

'cause I'm weak anyway,

and if I'm strong, I might still break.



And I don't have anything to share

that I won't throw away into the air.

That song is sung out.

This bell is rung out.



He was the light that I'd bless.

He took my last chance of happiness.

So God give me strength.

God give me strength.



I can't hold on to him.

God give me strength.

When the phone doesn't ring

and I'm lost in imagining

everything that kind of love is worth

as I tumble back down to the earth.



That song is sung out.

This bell is rung out.

He was the light that I'd bless.

He took my last chance of happiness.

So God give me strength.



God, if he'd grant me his indulgence and decline,

I might as well wipe him from my memory.

Fracture the spell as he becomes my enemy.

And maybe I was washed out

like a lip print on a shirt.

See, I'm only human, I want him to hurt.

I want him, I want him to hurt.



Since I lost the power to pretend

that there could ever be a happy ending.

That song is sung out.

This bell is rung out.



He was the light that I'd bless.

He took my last chance of happiness.

So God give me strength.

God give me strength.



Oooooooh. Oooooh.

Wipe him from my memory.

Oooh. I got to him wipe him from my memory.

Mmmm. Ooooooooh.


EARTH, WIND AND FIRE lyrics - My Love



(Maurice White & Wayne Vaughn)



Here we are, just who we are

Chances are we'll be the stars

Reflection in each other's eyes

Image of where our love will rise



Making up for time we lost

You and I have paid the cost

Time we spent away so long

Seeking out the right from wrong



Be my love, baby-my love

Be my love, baby-my love

And we know it's for sure in the night

Won't you be my love



Seven nights and seven suns

Spreads the time it all begun

Baby please look in my eyes

End this doubt I have inside



I can teach you wonders of

Life and love and all it does

Show me how to give to you

That which makes your dream come true



Be my love, baby-my love

Be my love, baby-my love

And we know it's for sure in the night

Won't you be my love


CELINE DION lyrics - Sous Le Vent



[Under The Wind]



Et si tu crois que j'ai eu peur

C'est faux

Je donne des vacances a mon coeur

Un peu de repos

Et si tu crois que j'ai eu tort

Attends

Respire un peu le souffle d'or

Qui me pousse en avant

Et



[And if you think I was afraid

That's not true

I'm giving some vacation to my heart

A bit of rest

And if you think I was wrong

Wait

Breath a bit the golden wind

That pushes me ahead

And]



Fais comme si j'avais pris la mer

J'ai sorti la grand voile

Et j'ai glisse sous le vent

Fais comme si je quittais la terre

J'ai trouve mon etoile

Je l'ai suivie un instant

(Sous le vent)



[Do as if I've taken the sea

I took out the large sail

And I slipped under the wind

Do as if I was leaving Earth

I found my star

I followed it for a while

(Under the wind)]



Et si tu crois que c'est fini

Jamais

C'est juste une pause un repit

Apres les dangers



[And if you think it's over

Never

It's just a pause a break

After the dangers]



Et si tu crois que je t'oublie

Ecoute

Ouvre ton corps aux vents de la nuit

Ferme les yeux

Et



[And if you think I'm forgetting you

Listen

Open your body to the winds of the night

Close your eyes

And]



Fais comme si j'avais pris la mer

J'ai sorti la grand voile

Et j'ai glisse sous le vent

Fais comme si je quittais la terre

J'ai trouve mon etoile

Je l'ai suivie un instant

(Sous le vent)



[Do as if I've taken the sea

I took out the large sail

And I slipped under the wind

Do as if I was leaving Earth

I found my star

I followed it for a while

Et si tu crois que c'est fini

Jamais

C'est juste une pause un repit

Apres les dangers



[And if you think it's over

Never

It's just a pause a break

After the dangers]



Fais comme si j'avais pris la mer

J'ai sorti la grand voile

Et j'ai glisse sous le vent

Fais comme si je quittais la terre

J'ai trouve mon etoile

Je l'ai suivie un instant

I took out the large sail

And I slipped under the wind

Do as if I was leaving Earth

I found my star

I found my star

I followed it for a while

SLASH'S SNAKEPIT lyrics - Ain't Life Grand



The end of the summer, down in New Orleans

Should've called, got caught up in the scene

Ain't nothin' wrong, ain't a damn thing right

Gonna be comin' home but baby, not tonight

The reason I'm stayin' is everything's swayin'

It feels too good to leave

Pay all the bullshit, send me the receipts

I don't know where I'll be



The bayou's callin', the gypsy's out tonight

French Quarter lamps are burnin'

Lamps are burning bright

Now I'm the kind of man

That will throw caution to the wind, all night long

I'll be here 'til the end

The caravan awaits me in a place within my mind

Wish you could be here, oh another time



Whoo, hoo, yeah, yeah, ain't life grand

All the pushin', and huggin', and pushin', and tuggin'

And whoo, hoo, yeah, yeah, ain't life grand

All the pissin' and moanin', and jerkin' me off

I said whoo, hoo, yeah, yeah, ain't life grand

Oh, ain't life grand



Ohh whoo, hoo, yeah, yeah, ain't life grand

All the drinkin', and takin', and fakin' it all

I said, whoo, hoo, yeah, yeah, ain't life grand

All the touchin', and feelin', and bumpin', and squealin'

Now whoo, hoo, oh yeah, ain't life grand

All the kickin', and screamin', all the lyin', and cheatin'

Now, whoo, hoo, yeah, yeah, ain't life grand

Ain't life grand, ain't life grand



Ain't it grand baby?

Ain't life grand baby

Ain't life grand mama

Sweet daddy grand

Mama grand, brother grand, woman grand

Papa grand, granny grand

Baby grand

Oh I need a damn gram

BUDDY & JULIE MILLER lyrics - Looking For A Heartache Like You



(Jim Lauderdale, Julie and Buddy Miller)



Here I go again

Got my self in trouble

Baby I need help

Get here on the double

You must be the one

To show me signs so subtle

I think you ought to spend

More time inside my bubble

Looking for a heartache like you



Here's to everyone

Finding what they're after

So were the words

Of my uncle jasper

When I first saw you

At the honey soppin

You rocked me on down

To the feet of my pajamas

Looking for a heartache like you



What's a face like yours to kiss

Doing in a place like this

Even though I run the risk

Of losing you by saying all these things



I'll join up

If you're recruiting

We can ramble on

If the weather's suiting

Circle to the left

Go out a swinging

Something inside

Can't stop singing


ACCEPT lyrics - Guns 'R' Us



How about a mega-store

Full of guns to start a war

We're selling toys for fatal games

We'll take the credit not the blame



When they shoot the neighbours

Shoot the daughters

Shoot the sisters

Shoot the mutha's



It's a billion dollar industry

All in the name of liberty



Guns 'r' us

Guns 'r' us - big boys buy big toys at

Guns 'r' us

Guns 'r' us



Living out the fantasy

Buy a dozen get - one free

Radar-guided - laser speed

Devastation guaranteed



Then they shoot the neighbours

Shoot the daughters

Shoot the brothers

Shoot the dog



It's a billion dollar industry

A constitutional guaranty



Guns 'r' us

Guns 'r' us - big boys buy big toys at

Guns 'r' us - get a free magazine with your M-16

Guns 'r' us - it's a one-day-sale



Gunned down in the neighbourhood

In the name of brotherhood

Black or white ain't worth a dime

Cut 'em down in zero time



It's shoot to kill - they shoot to kill

It's a human thrill just to shoot to kill



When they shoot the neighbours

Shoot the daughters

Shoot the sisters

Shoot the mutha's



It's a billion dollar industry

All in the name of liberty



Guns 'r' us

Guns 'r' us - a final mega-blow-out-sale at

Guns 'r' us - get your armour-piercing son of a bitch at

Guns 'r' us - we accept your cash or credit card


THE ROLLING STONES lyrics - Brand New Car



(M. Jagger/K. Richards)



I got a brand new car

And I like to drive real hard

I got a brand new car

And I'm feeling good so far

Take her on the highway for a little spin

I want to see the kind of shape she's in

And I got a brand new star

Jack her up baby, go on, open the hood

I want to check if her oil smells good

Mmmm...smells like caviar

Give her some stick

Push her too far

Right to the brink

Hear the motor running

Yeah, she's right in sink

Tell me if she's thirsty

Would she like a drink

And I'm stopping at this bar

Slinky like a panther

You can hear her purr

Touch her on the seat

Go on, feel the fur

And I got a brand new star

Feel the juice

Foot to the floor

Take some abuse

I got a brand new car

And I drive her in the dark

And I got a brand new car

I think I'll stop and park


IRVING BERLIN lyrics - Heat Wave



[Verse:]

A heat wave blew right into town last week

She came from the island of Martinique

The can-can she dances will make you fry

The can-can is really the reason why



[Refrain:]

We're having a heat wave, a tropical heat wave

The temp'rature's rising, it isn't surprising

She certainly can can-can



She started the heat wave by letting her seat wave

And in such a way that the customers say that

She certainly can can-can



Gee

Her anatomy

Made the mercury

Jump to ninety-three

Yes, sir!



We're having a heat wave, a tropical heat wave

The way that she moves that thermometer proves that

She certainly can can-can



[Patter:]

It's so hot the weather man will tell you a record's been made

It's so hot a coat of tan will cover your face in the shade

It's so hot the coldest maiden feels just as warm as a bride

It's so hot a chicken laid an egg on the street and it fried



[Alternate lines:]

She started the heat wave by letting her feet wave



It's so hot a hefty maiden lost twenty pounds from each side

JETHRO TULL lyrics - Strange Avenues



Strange avenues where you lose all sense of direction

and everywhere is Main Street in the winter sun.

The wino sleeps --- cold coat lined with he money section.

Looking like a a record cover from 1971.



And here am I --- warm feet and a limo waiting.

Shall I make us both feel good? And would a dollar do?

But in your streets, I have no credit rating

and it might not take a lot to be alone just like you.



Heading up and out now, from your rock island.

Really good to have had you here with me.

And somewhere in the crowd I think I hear a young girl whisper

``Are you ever lonely, just like me?''


LORETTA LYNN lyrics - Farther To Go



(Loretta Lynn)



I've been up to the top of a heartbreak mountain

I've been down in the valley of the blues

I've been down the road of loneliness and back again

And I've got farther to go than I've been

I've been down in the dust of broken mem'ries

I've been up on the clouds of happiness

I've seen many a glass held high in the house of sin

And I've got farther to go than I've been

I've got farther to go I've got things to forget

I've got things I remember about you

I've been up when you told me that you love me

I went down when you told me we were through

Cried until my eyes would dry then I cried again

And I've got farther to go than I've been yes I've got farther to go than I've been


TOO $HORT (TOO SHORT) lyrics - Recognize Game



[$hort:] Straight pimpin

Haha, we do it live ya heard me? Haha

[$hort:] I got somethin for yo' ass

[Chyna:] Yeah baby, it's all game



[Too $hort:]

I got that old game, but I don't need Viagra

Spit a few lines in no time I'll have ya

If I don't, I find a new bitch

And if you tryin to get back it's useless

I can't do shit, unless you pay me

I been breakin in hoes since the 80's

Ain't nuttin changed, it's still a pimp thang

And if you ain't wit it, you must be insane



[Chyna:]

Yeah you might talk like a pimp, walk with a limp

But look - you bout old as the game

Short Dawg shit is all in your name

And fuck dick, cause it all be the same

Shit, I be the one to get in your brain

To make you know you ain't shit

You got a Benz, I got a Jag, so what?

You got hoes, I got niggaz to cut

And I treat 'em like prostitutes and sluts

Take it from Chyna; niggaz ain't shit but dick and nuts



[Too $hort:]

Yeah baby.. I always respect the game

That's why bitches, always let me hit that thang

I hit it good, I hardly ever keep in touch

Top notches, it's hard to believe I fuck

But I did it, every time I see her I get it

I know you heard Short Dawg got digits

Don't forget it, I'm all about the pimp shit

I ain't no sucker with a limp dick



[Chyna:]

Fuck the dumb shit, niggaz they come quick

9th Ward bitches always get they cunt licked

You know the game, if you get a hoe it's probably from the fame

Ugly niggaz pretty bitches you know the aim

I got niggaz with my name tatted on they chest

And I don't give a fuck about another bitch cuz I'm the best

Picture Chyna long mink in a stretch

Back to back with a Lex, lettin off tecs, ya heard me?



[Chorus: Too $hort + Chyna White]

[$hort:] It ain't the same, shit done changed

New Orleans bitches live against the grain

Oakland niggaz we be off the chain

Chyna White and Too $hort play the game, whatchu say?

[White] It ain't the same baby, shit done changed baby

What what game recognize game baby

What what all my thugs let 'em hang baby

Chyna White and Too Sheezy off the chain baby (ya heard?)



[Too $hort:]

I wish I could get you outside in my truck

Put my hang between your legs maybe then I'll fuck

You know whassup, I'ma see you next time

Droppin sex lines, so I can fuck one time



[Chyna:]

Nigga how many times you done seen "The Mack?"

How many times you gon' think with your sac

Then talk with your genitals?

I run with strictly criminals

Top notch bitches, in drop top sixes

I'm from New Orleans, where bitches put shit in your greens

Bury your drawers, shatter your dreams, make you stop eatin

Cabbage and beans, dolla dolla what them know bout the cream

And fuck the worl cause it ain't what it seems (ya heard?)



[Chorus Two: Chyna White]

It ain't the same baby, shit done changed baby

Chyna White and Too Sheezy off the chain baby



[Too $hort:]

You know us Oakland niggaz still pimp to this day

Still wear perms with big old waves

Three or four hoes in a mini-van

Ridin round tryin to get all I can

When you see "The Mack," you see my town

If hoes get money we'll be around

Talkin that punk bitch out her chips

Please believe me, don't doubt the shit

I'm still pimpin.. let it ride


DIO lyrics - Eat Your Heart Out



It's been a long hot road I've been upon

Through the desert of your soul

I've looked high and low for water

But it's not there



All the promises of springtime

Turned to lies, so cold

But I'm stronger than you know

And I've come to let you go



Chorus:

Go eat your heart out

You've been a bad, bad girl

You've been hungry all of your life

So eat it out



I've been a prisoner just locked away

Inside your velvet jail

But it don't matter at all

Some things can grow without the light



Spinning cages for her pleasure

Weaving chains to hold the prize

Magic moments with the jailer

All on fire, and then he dies



Repeat chorus



We speed across emotions

And then we lose our hold

We move on wings of passion

That we can't control



Repeat Verse 1
