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

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

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

Do you do you like fine wine now
Don't it don't it don't it taste fine now
Can'tcha can'tcha can'tcha just hear it
Rock 'n' rock 'n' rock 'n' roll music
Get-a get-a get-a that beat now
Does it does it does it feel neat now
Will you will you will you just kizz me
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
(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]
Fais comme si j'avais pris la mer
J'ai sorti la grand voile
Et j'ai glisse sous le vent
(j'ai glisse sous le vent)
Fais comme si je quittais la terre
J'ai trouve mon etoile
Je l'ai suivie un instant
[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

Fais comme si j'avais pris la mer

Fais comme si je quittais la terre

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 been spittin this game since about 2:40
It's a quarter to 3, whatchu gon' do shorty?

I'm tryin to holla at you, fuck them hoes over there
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
New Orleans bitches live against the grain 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
[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
