THE BYRDS lyrics - Changing Heart



(Gene Clark)



You can tell a changing heart

Their face a smile and yet there is no joy

They look for wealth no matter what the cost

You're someone else that they might just destroy



So many people gather round

A thousand voices lift their praise

For you have reached the top

So they give you all they got

But when you're singing from the soul

They fail to see your final goal

They only tell you that



You have a long ways left to go

So you rhyme the changing rhyme

With one wheel spinning and one on the ground

Then falling victim to the game of time

You place your name out in the lost and the found



So many people gather round

A thousand voices lift their praise

For you have reached the top

So they give you all they got

But when you're singing from the soul

They fail to see your final goal

They only tell you that

You have a long ways left to go


CHRIS REA lyrics - Last Open Road



How fast can I run?

How far can I go?

These are the questions,

The young want to know

I met her in Brooklyn,

She was coming from a place

I said "where are you going to"?

She said "where have you been"?



'Cos I'm trapped in here,

Set me free

I know your world let me see

Take me down that last open road

Take me down that last open road

Take me down that last open road



I know there is so much past

this place

I see it smile on your jagged,

ragged face

Something tells me,

something strong

There's a world I've heard of,

So before it's gone

Take me down that last open road

Take me down that last open road


BRENDA LEE lyrics - Our Day Will Come



Our day will come

And we'll have everything.

We'll share the joy

Falling in love can bring.



No one can tell me

That I'm too young to know (young to know)

I love you so (love you so)

And you love me.



Our day will come

If we just wait a while.

No tears for us -

Think love and wear a smile.



Our dreams have magic

Because we'll always stay

In love this way

Our day will come.

(Our day will come; our day will come.)



Our dreams have magic

Because we'll always stay

In love this way.

Our day will come.

Our day will come.


RANDY NEWMAN lyrics - March Of The Protestants



Marchers [inspiring fear in the crowd]:

Oh, here we come

There's a bold new spirit in the land

Not from Spain, not from Rome

But our own thing



All that we ask

Is the right to worship as we please

No more priests with their stuck-up ways

No nuns



Oh, we are men

And a man of god should marry if he wants to marry



Oh, we're men, men, men, men



But our own thing



Oh, here we go

Will we find the answer, who can say

Won't you all wish us well on our way



[The Doppler effect kicks in as the marchers march away.]

LORETTA LYNN lyrics - Two Steps Forward



(Loretta Lynn)



Well here you come and I know what I'm gonna say

My mind's made up and I'm a leavin' you today

Well I'm tired of askin' you where you've been I'm tired of all this mis'ry I'm in

Two steps forward and six steps back again

Well my clothes're packed and I'm a headin' for the door

Don't look for me back cause I won't be back no more

Well I may think of you now and then

But don't hold your breath cause I don't know when

Two steps forward and six steps back again

Two steps forward and six steps back you think I didn't want to go

These tears in my eyes they're not so real I'm just cuttin' on a show

I'm leavin' this town and that's for certain

Not much I ain't a cryin' not much I ain't a hurtin'

Two steps forward and six steps back again

[ ac. guitar + steel ]

Two steps forward and six steps back...

Yeah two steps forward and six steps back again


THE PARTRIDGE FAMILY lyrics - If You Ever Go



(Wes Farrell & Tony Romeo)



If you ever put me down, I would fall right through the ground

Couldn't make it on my own, couldn't stay here all alone

And there would be no sun and there would be no one to run to



[Chorus:]

If you ever go

Honey, you'll never know

What it would do to me

The hurt would be new to me

If you could ever believe

The love I got up my sleeve

Then you would never go

Honey, don't ever go



If you ever said goodbye, I would want so much to die

All the world would look so gray, couldn't face another day

And there would be no sun and there would be no one to run to



[Chorus]



And there would be no sun and there would be no one to run to



[Chorus]

STYX lyrics - Earl Of Roseland



(Dennis DeYoung)



oh oh oh oh oh



penny pitching on the walk

waiting for the bus to arrive

me and Davy playing sport

watching for the cops to go by



spider man and the human torch

they cover Barney's newsstand

morning crowds start to gather round

fast finger steals what he can



morning leaves for the afternoon

the boys show up on time

in the streets near the people's store

below the electrical sign



catch a glimpse of a passing car

raced and ready to drag

then the skirts start to tantalize

the boys how they boast and they brag



oh the earl of Roseland

oh the earl of Roseland



where has he gone?

a memory at dawn

you're just a bit of the past



[guitar solo]



oh oh oh oh

oh the earl of Roseland

oh the earl of Roseland



me and Davy gazing back

see ourselves as we were

how we laugh when we think of things

that we did yesteryear



I can see Charlie on the porch

Johnny clicking his sticks

and two boys I don't even know

rehearsing electric string tricks

ya ya ya ya ya ya



oh the earl of Roseland

oh the earl of Roseland

oh the earl of Roseland

oh the earl of Roseland

oh the earl of Roseland

oh the earl of Roseland

oh the earl of Roseland

oh the earl of Roseland

ERIC CLAPTON lyrics - It Hurts Me Too



(Elmore James)



You said you was hurting,

Almost lost your mind,

And the man you love,

He hurts you all the time.



[Chorus:]

When things go wrong,

Go wrong with you,

It hurts me, too.



You love him more

When you should love him less.

I pick up behind him

And take his mess.



[Chorus]



He love another woman

And I love you,

But you love him

And stick to him like glue.



[Chorus]



Now you better leave him;

He better put you down.

Oh, I won't stand

To see you pushed around.



[Chorus]

DAVID LEE ROTH lyrics - Elephant Gun



Every inch of you looks like a lady

So don't get caught here in the city at nite

And if you wanna take a chance and go down crazy

I sell protection for a price



(pre-chorus)

Well, call it love or call it murder

This is the crime of the century

No, don't point that thing on me



(chorus)

All in all my aim is better

Shots as clean as a mean goal-getter

A bad man on the run

I'm gonna be your dark stranger

Contact man 'tween you and danger

I'll protect you baby with my elephant gun



Every minute counts and you play both sides of the law

Mm, these dangorous days

Mean nine lives doin' anything at all

A lot of folks been blown away



(pre-chorus)



(chorus)



Bang!



(pre-chorus)



Don't try to use that thing on me


WILLIE NELSON lyrics - On The Street Where You Live



I have often walked down the street before

But the pavement always

Stayed beneath my feet before



All at once am I

Several stories high

Knowing I'm on the street where you live



Are there lilac trees

In the heart of town?

Can you hear a lark in any other part of town?



Does enchantment pour

Out of every door?

No, it's just on the street where you live



And oh, the towering feeling

Just to know somehow you are near

The overpowering feeling

That any second you may suddenly appear



People stop and stare

They don't bother me

For there's no where else on earth

That I would rather be



Let the time go by

I won't care if I

Can be here on the street where you live



People stop and stare

They don't bother me

For there's no where else on earth

That I would rather be



Let the time go by

I won't care if I

Can be here on the street where you live

Let me be on the street where you live


GEORGE MICHAEL lyrics - Careless Whisper



I Feel So Unsure

As i take your hand

And lead you to the dance floor

As the music dies

Something in your eyes

Calls to mind a silver screen

And all its sad goodbyes



Chorus



I'm never gonna dance again

Guilty feet have got no rhythm

Though it's easy to pretend

I know you're not a fool

I should have known better than to cheat a friend

And waste a chance that i've been given

So i'm never gonna dance again

The way i danced with you



Time can never mend

The careless whisper of a good friend

To the heart and mind

Ignorance is kind

There's no comfort in the truth

Pain is all you'll find



Chorus



Tonight the music seems so loud

I wish that we could lose this crowd

Maybe it's better this way

We'd hurt each other with the things we want to say

We could have been so good together

We could have lived this dance forever

But now who's gonna dance with me

Please stay



Chorus



Now that you've gone

Now that you've gone

Now that you've gone

Was what i did so wrong

So wrong that you had to leave me alone


PRINCE lyrics - Last Heart



Oh, baby [x2]



How many times have U called my number

Wishing I was someone else?

How many times did my heart tumble

Feeling sorry 4 myself?

How many times have I kissed U

And smelled another man's perfume?

How many lonely nights I missed U

Wishing 4 ya body in my lonely room? (lonely room)



Baby, if U break my heart one more time

It'll be the last heart U'll ever break

I've taken all I can take

Baby, this heart wasn't made 2 break



How many times can U hurt me (hurt me)

Before your conscience makes U stop? (stop, stop, oh)

U made it all, why now desert me?

Baby, U know U can never cop (never cop), never cop

A body that'll do U like I do

U got 2 get your thing 2gether sister

I'm tired of being your fool



If U break my heart one more time

It'll be the last heart U'll ever break

Baby, I've taken all I can take

Baby, my heart wasn't made 2 break



Baby, don't U break my heart

No, no, don't do it!



If U break my heart one more time

It'll be the last heart U'll ever break

Darlin', I've taken all I can take

Baby, this heart wasn't made 2 break



(When U fix your mouth 2 tell that lie)

When U fix your mouth 2 tell a brand new lie

(Never before told, by and by)

Never ignore the truth, by and by

(False words should never be spoken)

False words should never be, never be spoken

(My heart should never be broken)

And baby, my heart should never be, never be broken



If U break my heart one more time

It'll be the last heart U'll ever break


RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS lyrics - Sir Psycho Sexy



A long, long, long, long time ago

Before the wind, before the snow

Lived a man, lived a man I know

Lived a freak of nature named Sir Psycho



Sir Psycho Sexy that is me

Sometimes I find I need to scream



He's a freak of nature

But we love him so

He's a freak of nature

But we let him go



Deep inside the garden of Eden

Standing there with my hard on bleedin'

Theres a devil in my dick and some demons in my semen

Good God no that would be treason

Believe me Eve she gave good reason

Botty looking too good not to be squeezin'

Creamy beaver hotter than a fever

I'm a givin' 'cause she's the reciever

I won't and I don't hang up until I please her

Makin' her feel like an over achiever

I take it away for a minute just to tease her

Then I give it back a little bit deeper



[Chorus]

Sir Psycho Sir Psycho yea he's the man that I met 1 time

Sir Psycho Sir Psycho yea he's the man that left me blind

Sir Psycho Sir Psycho yea he's the man he's the man he's the man



He's a freak of nature

But we love him so

He's a freak of nature

But we let him go



I got stopped by a lady cop

In my automobile

She said get out and spead your legs

And then she tried to cop a feel

That cop she was all dressed in blue

Was she pretty? Boy I'm tellin' you

She stuck my butt with her big black stick

I said "what's up?" now suck my dick

Like a ram getting ready to jam the lamb

She whimpered just a little when she felt my hand

On her crotch so very warm

I could feel her getting wet through her uniform

Proppin' her up on the black and white

Unzipped and slipped "ooo that's tight"

I swatted her like no swat team can

Turned a cherry pie right into jam



[Chorus]



Hello young woman that I love

Pretty punk rock mamma that I'm thinking of

Hold me naked if you will

In your arms in your legs in your pussy I'd kill

To be with you, to kiss with you, I do miss you

I love you



Lay me down....

Descending waves of graceful pleasure

For your love there is no measure

Her curves they bend with subtle splendor



Now I lay me down to sleep

I pray the funk will make me freak

If I should die before I waked

Allow me Lord to rock out naked

Bored by the ordinary time to take a trip

Calling up a little girl with a bull whip

Lickety split go snap "snap"

Girl gettin' off all in my lap

The tallest tree the sweetest sap

Blowin' my ass right off the map

Ooo and it's nice out here

I think I'll stay for a while

BOB DYLAN lyrics - Tough Mama



Tough mama

Meat shaking on your bones

I'm gonna go down to the river and get some stones

Sister's on the highway with that steel drivin' crew

Papa's in the big house, his working days are through

Tough mama

Can I blow a little smoke on you.



Dark beauty

Won't you move it on over and make somme room?

It's my duty to bring you down to the field where the flowers bloom

Ashes in the furnace, dust on the rise

You came through it all the way flying through the skies

Dark beauty

With that long night's journey in you eyes.



Sweet Goddess

Born of a blinding light and a changing wind

Now don't be modest, you know who you are and where you've been

Jack, the cowboy, went up north, he's buried in your past

The lone wolf went out drinking, that was over pretty fast

Sweet Goddess

Your perfect stranger's coming in at last.



Silver angel

With the badge of the lonesome road written on your sleeve

I'd be grateful if this golden ring you would receive

Today on the countryside it was a hotter than a crotch

I stood alone upon the ridge and all I did was watch

Sweet Goddess

It must be time to carve another notch.



I'm crestfallen

The world of illusion is at my door

I ain't a-haulin' any of my lambs to the marketplace anymore

The prison walls are crumbling, there is no end in sight

I've gained some recognition but I lost my appetite

Sweet beauty

Meet me at the border late tonight.

DOLLY PARTON lyrics - I Don't Wanna Throw Rice



(Dolly Parton & Bill Owens)



She married the one I love today

When my back was turned she took him away

Now while they're all outside, waiting to throw rice

What I want to throw will surely black her eyes

'Cause I don't want to throw rice

I want to throw rocks at her

She took the only love I had

No, I don't want to throw rice

I want to throw rocks at her

It would be a way to hurt her 'cause she hurt me so bad



Well I never stole nothin' in my life

But if I get the chance I'll steal him from his wife

'Cause all is fair in love and war, maybe I'm carryin' this too far

But I feel like tying dynamite to her side of the car



No I don't want to throw rice

I want to throw rocks at her

She took the only love I had

No, I don't want to throw rice

I want to throw rocks at her

It would be a way to hurt her 'cause she hurt me so bad


AMY GRANT lyrics - I Love A Lonely Day



(Gary Chapman & Michael W. Smith)



T. V.'s off at 1:00 a. m.

One more day alone again

The road gets longer everyday

Why'd I have to get away

But I have found a comfort here

Solitude can be so dear

Loneliness is not so blue

When it puts my mind on you



[Chorus:]

I love a lonely day

It makes me think of you

All alone, I can easily find your love

I love a lonely day

It chases me to you

It clears my heart

Lets my very best part shine through

It's you



Lonely people everywhere

Lucky, lonely ones who care

You've got all you need and more

Someone to be lonely for

Someone cries for you to hear

Take your heart and wipe their tear

Give them someone they can miss

Give them love and sing them this



[Chorus]


GRATEFUL DEAD lyrics - Not Fade Away



I wanna tell you how it's gonna be, you're gonna give your love to me,

I wanna love you night and day, you know my love not fade away.



You know my love not fade away, not fade away!



My love is bigger than a Cadillac, I try to show you but you drive me back,

Your love for me has got to be real, your gonna know just how I feel.



Our love is real, not fade away, not fade away!

LUTHER VANDROSS lyrics - Never Let Me Go



Just let me love you tonight

Forget about tomorrow

My darling, won't you hold me tight

And never let me go



Dry your eyes

No tears, no sorrow

Cling to me with all your might

And never let me go



A million times or more

We said we'd never part

But lately I find

You're a stranger, stranger in my heart



Give me the right

In summer or in spring time

To tell the world you are mine

And you will never let me go

And never let me go



[Fade]


GREEN DAY lyrics - Don't Leave Me



I'll go for miles

Till I find you

You say you want to leave me

But you can't choose

I've gone thru pain

Every day and night

I feel my mind is going insane

Something I can't fight



Don't leave me

Don't leave me



A blank expression

Covering your face

I'm looking for directions

For out of this place

I start to wonder

If you'll come back

I feel the rain storming after thunder

I can't hold back



Don't leave me



I'll go for miles

Till I find you

You say you want to leave me

But you can't choose

I've gone thru pain

Every day and night

I feel my mind is going insane

Something I can't fight



Don't leave me


SHOCKING BLUE lyrics - Little Cooling Planet



(Robbie van Leeuwen)



I warned you in a crowded street,

I'm so proud with you next to me.

My eyes will show that he's my man.

Keep out of the way and let us be.



Hey, hey,

Little cooling planet,

Little cooling planet.

You make my heart beat, but

You get me to beg and shout,

Little cooling planet.



I warned you in a night of storm

With thunder and lightning, and oceans of rain.

I cuddle up real close to you,

Afraid that all the storm will be in vain.



Hey, hey,

Little cooling planet,

Little cooling planet.

You make my heart beat, but

You make me to beg and shout.

Little cooling planet.



Hey, hey,

Little cooling planet,

Little cooling planet.

You make my heart beat, but

You make me to beg and shout,

Little cooling planet.



I warned you in a summer night

When night's black is returning to blue.

I'd show you now the means of life

And what a woman in love can do.



Hey, hey,

Little cooling planet,

Little cooling planet.

You make my heart beat, but

You make me to beg and shout,

Little cooling planet.

You make my heart beat, but

You make me to beg and shout,

Little cooling planet.

NEIL YOUNG lyrics - Love Hotel



If you travel with

Those who know you well

I can recommend

Stay at Love Hotel.



Every room a hallway

Softly sell

Don't get

stranded on the lift

Of the Love Hotel

Love Hotel,

Love Hotel,

Love Hotel.



Don't deny yourself

It wants simple truth

Ring for give and take

As the floor and room.



Every room a hallway

Who can tell

Don't get

stranded by the lift

Of the Love Hotel

Love Hotel,

Love Hotel,

Love Hotel.



Every room a hallway

Softly sell

Don't get

stranded by the lift

Of the Love Hotel

Love Hotel, Love Hotel.


PHISH lyrics - Guyute



(Anastasio, Marshall)



Guyute was the ugly pig

Who walked on me and danced a jig

That he had learned when he was six

Then stopped and did some other tricks



Like pulling weapons from his coat

And holding them against my throat

He lectured me in language strange

And scampered quickly out of range



I'm bouncing like a newborn elf

I can't remain inside myself

Guyute glances in my eyes

And manages to hypnotize



Me as I sleep the sleep of death

He sucks from me my only breath

That I had breathed since I was ten

I hope this happens once again


MICHAEL BOLTON lyrics - Daddy's Little Girl



You're the end of the rainbow, my pot of gold,

You're daddy's little girl to have and hold.

A precious gem is what you are,

A ray of hope, a shining star.



You're the brightest of the sunshine

Morning's first light

You warm my day, you brighten my night

You're sugar you're spice, you're everything nice,

And you're daddy's little girl.



You're the end of the rainbow, my pot of gold,

You're daddy's little girl to have and hold.

A precious gem is what you are,

A ray of hope, a shining star.



You're the brightest of the sunshine

Morning's first light

You warm my day, you brighten my night

You're sugar you're spice, you're everything nice,

And you're daddy's little girl.


RICKY NELSON lyrics - You're My One And Only Love



(Kessell/Marshall)



You're my one and only love

I've loved you from the start

My one and only love

I've given you my heart

And though we're worlds apart

You're all I'm thinkin' of

My one and only love



Though you don't know I'm alive

I still can hope and pray

The time will soon arrive

And on that lucky day

You'd smile at me and say

My one and only love



[Instrumental Interlude]



Though you don't know I'm alive

I still can hope and pray

The time will soon arrive

And on that lucky day

You'd smile at me and say

My one and only love



My one and only love

My one and only love


MOTLEY CRUE lyrics - Sick Love Song



Wake me up in the morning glory,

Hanging straight your lies and stories

How do you mark your territory



When your trash becomes your treasure,

Your _____ all my pleasure,

Lose your mind at your leisure



Simply said your complicated,

Understand you're overrated,

The more you talk the less you seem to say



We are miserable,

Your are driving me insane



This could be your,

Sick love song

This could be your

Sign that things are going wrong

This could be your

Sick love song

Sick love song

Sick love song



Do me up like a meat grinder

Stone cold blood like the winder

I don't need to know the reminder

Cant understand normal thinking

Drive a sober man to drinking

Take that you drive me straight to hell



We are miserable

Your are driving me insane



This could be your

Sick love song

This could be your

Sign that things are going wrong

This could be your

Sick love song

Sick love song

Sick love song



The more you inhale

The more that you breath

The more that you make me

Wanna scream



This could be your

Sick love song

This could be your

Sign that things are going wrong

This could be your

Sick love song

Sick love song

Sick love song



This could be your

Sick love song

This could be your

Reason not to get along

This could be your

Sick love song

Sick love song

Sick love song

Sick love song

Sick love song

Sick love song

Sick love song

Sick love song

Sick love song

Sick love song

Sick love song

NINE INCH NAILS lyrics - Sin (Short)



You give me the reason

You give me control

I gave you my purity

My purity you stole

Did you think I wouldn't recognize this compromise

Am I just too stupid to realize

Stale incense old sweat and lies lies lies



It comes down to this

Your kiss

Your fist

And your strain

It gets under my skin

Within

Take in the extent of my sin



You give me the anger

You give me the nerve

Carry out the sentence

I get what I deserve

I'm just an effigy to be defaced

To be disgraced

Your need for me has been replaced

And if I can't have everything well then just give me a taste



It comes down to this

Your kiss

Your fist

And your strain

It gets under my skin

Within

Take in the extent of my sin

TOTO lyrics - Lorraine



I've heard a lot of stories

So tell me if they're true

Oh I would die for you

Knowing that you're mine



You tell me that you're sorry

You say your heart is new

Oh I will cry for you

Call me and we'll dine



It's almost over Lorraine

Can you still feel the pain

Do you still want me to love you

It's such a funny day

Whoah oh oh

It's such a funny day



Tonight we sail for Paris

Where the streets are paved with gold

Your eyes have blessed my soul

Your lips, they've blessed the wine



We'll tame the Gulf of Lyons

I'll wed thee in Marseilles

We'll turn the moon to blood

If only there were time



It's almost over Lorraine

Can you still feel the pain

Do you still want me to love you

It's such a funny day

Whoah oh oh

It's such a funny day


W. A.S. P. lyrics - The Running Man



[Judah to Jesse:]



You'll be so far out of control

You know, the ones you saved



[Jesse to Judah:]



Look in my eye cause somehow you

You don't realize what I made



[Judah to Jesse:]



You can't run away from me

Don't deny your blind believers

And hide your Devil's keeper



[Jesse to Judah:]



Take your love away from me

Cause I will blind your heathen reason

And ride us on your broken wings for love



[Judah to Jesse:]



True we are disciples lost

You know the promise you made

Look in my eyes and tell me why

You realize the price that you'll pay?



[Jesse:]



# 9, # 9, # 9

I'm still inside of

The 9 asylums

Am I Messiah?



[Judah to Jesse:]



You're the only God they know



What are you running from

Wasn't this enough

Aren't you satisfied?

They're all at your feet

The Lord to sheep

Oh, are you sanctified?

DELBERT MCCLINTON lyrics - Squeeze Me In



Honey I know you got a good job, you're out there makin' all that dough

But they keep you late workin' that overtime, and I don't ever see you no more

I guess you're not checking your message machine, seems like you're never in

I got a hunch if we could just do lunch I could get your attention again

I know you got your schedule and you're keepin'; it tight

You got somethin' goin' mornin', noon, and night

But I got somethin' I know you're gonna like

Honey, can you squeeze me in



I got it circled in red on the calendar, baby, you told me tonight's the night

Got the champagne chilled, got a gourmet meal, soft music and candlelight

I try to get you on the phone, I get stuck on hold, I guess you keep getting sidetracked

I been faxin' you love notes all day long, but you don't ever fax me back

I know you got your schedule and you're keepin' it tight

You got somethin' goin' mornin', noon, and night

But I somethin' I know you're gonna like

Honey, can you squeeze me in



Whoever said it's a man's world don't know what he's talkin' about

You got me workin' around the clock, honey, tryin' to figure you out

I know time is money, but there's more to life honey than how much you can spend

You got to make a little time for the good times, so honey can you squeeze me in


STEVIE NICKS lyrics - Garbo



I love to waltz with a man in a dark linen suit

All alone - at a party with someone I knew

From a time gone by - turned to stone



You could be Garbo or even Marlene

You could be Marilyn...

Or you could forget



I play the part but then all of us do

And I do it so well as I do it to you

In this town full of strangers

In this town full of fools



Venus doesn't glitter when she stands next to you

When you're waltzing through stardom

You miss what you lose



Lose yourself in a silvery dress

For you think you must do what you feel you do best

And you musn't give it up for you're still but a guest



You could be Garbo or even Marlene...

Or you could forget

SANTANA lyrics - Winning



(Leo Ballard)



One day I was on the ground

When I needed a hand

And it couldn't be found

I was so far down

That I couldn't get up

You know and

One day I was one of life's losers

Even my friends were my ac-cus-ers

And in my head

Lost before I'd begun



I had a dream

But it turned to dust

What I thought was love

That must have been lust

I was living in style

When the walls fell in

When I played my hand

I looked like a joker

Turn around

Fate must have woke her

'Cause lady luck she was

Waiting outside the door



Chorus:



I'm winning

I'm winning

I'm winning

And I don't intend on losing again



Too bad it belonged to me

It was the wrong time

And I meant to be

It took a long time

And I knew for now

I can see the day

That I breath for

Friends agree there's a need

To play the game

And to win again



Chorus:

(repeat first line 5x's)

(repeat last line 4x's)



Repeat Verse II



Chorus:

(repeat first line 5x's)


PAUL SIMON lyrics - Still Crazy After All These Years



(Paul Simon)



I met my old lover

On the street last night

She seemed so glad to see me

I just smiled

And we talked about some old times

And we drank ourselves some beers

Still crazy after all these years

Still crazy after all these years



I'm not the kind of man

Who tends to socialize

I seem to lean on

Old familiar ways

And I ain't no fool for love songs

That whisper in my ears

Still crazy after all these years

Still crazy after all these years



Four in the morning

Crapped out

Yawning

Longing my life away

I'll never worry

Why should I?

It's all gonna fade



Now I sit by my window

And I watch the cars

I fear I'll do some damage

One fine day

But I would not be convicted

By a jury of my peers

Still crazy

Still crazy

Still crazy after all these years


RATT lyrics - Wanted Man



Wanted man



Well, low dealer, with snake eyes

You cross me, you realize you're-

You're hot leather, you're cold steel

You make a move, I'll make you feel like a

Human target, in my eyes

And by the rope, you will hang

It's your neck, from this Ratt gang



'Cause I'm a wanted man

'Cause I'm a, a wanted man



Well, gun fighter, you think twice

Are you fast, you heed my advice

Human target, In my eyes

I've got you, well in my sights

And by the rope, you will hang

It's your neck, from this Ratt gang



It's really what you wanna be

A wanted man (a wanted man) (repeat)



Solo



'Cause I'm a, a wanted man

'Cause I'm a, a wanted man, yes I am

'Cause I'm a, a wanted man (repeat)

PHIL COLLINS lyrics - No Matter Who



Well it's a long, long road when you're out there alone,

no matter what side you're on,

but there's a heart of gold behind the smile

and it brought me to where I belong.



'Cos I'd set my sights on finding you

and I'm staying forever, you know it's true

Yes I'd set my sights on finding you

don't be lonely tonight, we can make it alright



No matter what you say,

no matter who you are,

love always finds a way

finds a way to your heart.



Well it's a cold lonely road, but you can survive

no matter which way you choose,

and as long as there's life behind these eyes

I'm here with you, win or lose.



If you let your light shine on through

someone will come round to pull you through,

yes just let your light shine on through,

don't be lonely tonight, you can make it alright.



Just hold my hand,

come with me a while, I'll make you smile.

Just hold my hand

there's someone who loves you, it's me, oh it's me.



No matter what you say,

no matter who you are,

love always finds a way

finds a way to your heart.



It's alright that you cry if you're lonely sometime,

no matter who's by your side,

'cos the love that you look for is inside us all,

but it's something you have to find



And I'd set my sights on finding you

and I'm staying forever, you know it's true.

Yes I'd set all my sights on findingyou

don't be lonely tonight, we can make it alright.



No matter what you say,

no matter who you are,

love always finds a way

finds a way to your heart.


GREG BROWN lyrics - Let Me Be Your Gigolo



Let me be your gigolo

We can hi-di hi-di-ho

I ain't high but I go low

Let me be your gigolo



Let me be your Tuesday man

Make you feel good, yes I can

Speak in tongues and lay on hands

Let me be your Tuesday man



Honey I won't charge you much

Just a kiss and just a touch

Just a lantern burnin' low

Let me be your gigolo



We don't have to talk about

Who is and who's not hangin' out

Honey let's just twist and shout

Put your hand over my mouth



Life is short but I am tall

Come on by late night y'all

You know where I'm livin' so

Let me be your gigolo


GEORGE STRAIT lyrics - She Lays It All On The Line



Her hair is red and her eyes are green, she's soft and tender, but she can be mean.

She knows what it takes to keep me right on track,

And when it comes to loving she don't hold nothin' back.



When she loves me she's nearly outta control

When she love, loves me it comes from deep in her soul

When she loves me I know she's all mine

When my baby loves me she lays it all on the line.



Out honky tonkin' where the lights are down low

She always asks the man to play something real slow

When we get home I know she'll take up the slack

Cause when it comes to loving she don't hold nothin' back.



When she loves me it's the things that she says

When she loves me she's way out on the edge

When she loves me I lose track of time, when my baby loves me she lays it all on the line.



My baby taught me something everybody should learn

When you're playing with fire it's alright to get burned

It really don't matter if you lose or you win - the only way to do it is get out on that limb.



When she loves me she's nearly outta control

When she love, loves me it comes from deep in her soul

When she loves me I know she's all mine

When my baby loves me she lays it all on the line.

When my baby loves me she lays it all on the line.

U2 lyrics - Fez - Being Born



Let me in the sound

Let me in the sound

Let me in the sound, sound

Let me in the sound, sound

Let me in the sound



Let me in the sound

Let me in the sound

Let me in the sound, sound

Let me in the sound, sound

Let me in the sound



Oh oh oh oh



Six o'clock

On the autoroute

Burning rubber, burning chrome

Bay of Cadiz and ferry home

Atlantic sea, cut glass

African sun at last



Oh oh oh oh



Lights flash past

Like memories

A speeding head, a speeding heart

I'm being born, a bleeding start

The engines roar, blood-curdling wail

Head first, then foot

Then heart sets sail


SPARKS lyrics - Marry Me



(Ron & Russell Mael)



Someone to bring me out

Someone to let me in

Someone, someone...



And all the eager-beaver men come macho way their blues

They place themselves in place of me and face to face with you

And each pretend, you're loving him but that's not very true

Cause you're not acting, nor am I though I could use some proof



Marry me, marry me, what's the story

Though a thousend hungry people try to crash our story



But no one in this darkened world

Need ever know but I know

Marry me



A happily-ever-after does that seem to much to ask?

With trees and tots and stucco walls and fountains in the back

And lawns that you or I can mow and neighbours who will chat

About important issues and the state of this 'n that



Marry me, marry me...



Someone to bring me out

Someone to let me in

Someone to bring me joy

Somebody near me

Somebody near me

Somebody nearly me



The purple mountains majesty above the fruited plain

Is peeling off the wall of Lucky Miramar Motel



Marry me, marry me...



Someone to bring me out...



Marry me...


HARRY CONNICK, JR. lyrics - Something You Got



(Chris Kenner)



Something you got

Makes me work all day

Something you got

Makes me bring home all my pay

Something you got

Say you ought to know now

Whoa, whoa, my, my

Whoa, you know I love you so



Something you got

Keep me home every night

Something you got

Makes everythin' all right

Something you got

Say you ought to know now

You ought to know now

Whoa, whoa, my, my

Whoa I love you so


REBA MCENTIRE lyrics - Five Hundred Miles Away From Home



(Bobby Bare/Charlie Williams/Hedy West)



Tear drops fell on mama's note

When I read the things she wrote

She said, we miss you girl

We love you come on home

Well I didn't have to pack

I had it all right on my back

Now I'm five hundred miles away from home



Away from home, away from home

Cold and tired and all alone

Yes, I'm five hundred miles away from home



It's hard to tell the state I'm in

Where I'm going, where I've been

But there's a dream I've been following so long

If mama knew the things I've done

She'd forgive them everyone

But I'm still five hundred miles away from home



Away from home, away from home

Cold and tired and all alone

Yes, I'm five hundred miles away from home



Can't remember when I ate it's just thumb and walk and wait

And I'm still five hundred miles away from home

If my luck had been just right I'd be with them all tonight

But I'm still five hundred miles away from home



Away from home, away from home

Cold and tired and all alone

Yes, I'm five hundred miles away from home



Lord, I'm still five hundred miles away from home


JOHN LEE HOOKER lyrics - Baby, How Can You Do It?



(John Lee Hooker)



Well, you take my money, you call it chicken feed

Take my money and you throw it around

Baby, how can you do it?

Baby, how can you do it?

Baby, how can you do it,

Throw my money around?



Well I work hard ever'day,

As a man s'pose to do

Take my money, bring it home to you

Baby, how can you do it?

Baby, how can you do it?

Baby, how can you do it,

Throw my money around?



I done 'round? Yes, yes

I done told you once,

I ain't gon' tell you no more

Next time I tell you,

I got to let you down

Baby, how can you do it?

Baby, how can you do it?

Baby, how can you do it,

Throw my money around?



Well, my mama told her papa,

Told me too

If you weren't no good for me,

Why don't'cha' let you go

Baby, how can you do it?

Baby, how can you do it?

Baby, how can you do it,

Throw my money around?



Hmm

Baby, how can you do it?

Baby, how can you do it?

Baby, how can you do it,

Throw my money around?


ERIC CLAPTON lyrics - Lead Me On



(Cecil Womack and Linda Womack)



Tell me anything you think I wanna hear

Just to keep me standin' here

To secure your shaky fears



Tell me you love me, but in your heart you know you don't

So you lie 'cause you think I want

To make believe you love when you don't



[Chorus:]

Lead me on, lead me on

Lead me on, lead me on

I'll play along and along and along

Baby lead me on

Lead me on



Pretend it's rainin' when the tears flow from my eyes

And you're warm when you're cold as ice

And everything's gonna be alright



And it's a shame, little Johnny wears my name

And you know I'm not the one

Still you say he is my son



[Chorus]



And when I leave to go work for you

You cry you're lonely too

To make me feel your love is true



But in your dreams you slip and tell it all

I hear you calling out his name

You say you love him loud and plain



[Chorus]

ALICE COOPER lyrics - Mary Ann



Mary-Ann, I'm really crazy about you, deed I am

I just can't live without you, Mary-Ann

Mary-Ann

Mary-Ann

My life was built around you

Stars and sand, your eyes were pools of laughter, Mary-Ann

I thought you were my man


LORETTA LYNN lyrics - Love's Been Here And Gone



(Loretta Lynn - Teddy Wilburn)



Love's been here and gone but the mem'ry keeps holding on

Now I know how I'd be if I can leave through this love's been here and gone

When there's love your heart is strong but it weakens when love goes wrong

Now I've known that power dealt the parting hour love's been here and gone

I've loved once but never again a closed heart just won't let love in

Hopin' only to you oh what can I do love's been here and gone

[ piano ]

I've loved once but never again...


DIRE STRAITS lyrics - Iron Hand



with all the clarity of dream

the sky so blue, the grass so green

the rank and file and the navy blue

the deep and strong, the straight and true



the blue line they got the given sign

the belts and boots marched forward in time

the wood and the leather the club and shield

swept like a wave across the battlefield



now with all the clarity of dream

the blood so red, the grass so green

the gleam of spur on the chestnut flank

the cavalry did burst upon the ranks



oh the iron will and the iron hand

in england's green and pleasant land

no music for the shameful scene

that night they said it had even shocked the queen



well alas we've seen it all before

knights in armour, days for yore

the same old fears and the same old crimes

we haven't changed since ancient times


ALICE COOPER lyrics - School's Out



Well, we got no choice

All the girls and boys

Makin' all that noise

Cause they found new toys



Well, we can't salute ya

Can't find a flag

If that don't suit ya

That's a drag



School's out for summer

School's out forever

School's been blown to pieces



No more pencils

No more books

No more teacher's dirty looks



Well, we got no class

And we got no principals

And we got no innocence

We can't even think of a word that rhymes



School's out for summer

School's out forever

My school's been blown to pieces



No more pencils

No more books

No more teacher's dirty looks



Out for summer

Out till fall

We might not come back at all



School's out forever

School's out for summer

School's out with fever

School's out completely


EMMYLOU HARRIS lyrics - I Saw The Light



(Hank Williams)



I wandered so aimless, life filled with sin

I wouldn't let my dear savior in

Then Jesus came like a stranger in the night

Praise the Lord, I saw the light.



Just like a blind man I wandered a long,

Worries and fears I claimed for my own.

Then like the blind man that God gave back my sight

Praise the Lord, I saw the light



I was a fool to wander and stray,

Straight is the gate and narrow the way

Now I have traded the wrong for the right

Praise the Lord, I saw the light



I saw the light, I saw the light

No more in darkness no more in night

Now I'm so happy, no sorrow in sight

Praise the Lord, I saw the light


JOAN BAEZ lyrics - A Stranger In My Place



(K. Rogers, K. Vassy)



I see the town

Where we were born,

I see the place

We were raised,

I see all the things you wanted

That I never gave.



I see sadness,

I see sorrow,

I see pain in your face,

But I just can't see

A stranger in my place.



I can see now where we quarrelled,

I can see now I was wrong,

I can see where you might weaken

When I wasn't strong.

I see mem'ries of a love gone bad

That time cannot erase,

But I just can't see a stranger in my place.



No one seems to know you quite like I do,

No one knows the thigs that make you cry.

Looking back it seems

I never showed you,

And now I lay alone and wonder why.



I can see now

Where you might grow tired of dreams

That don't come true,

I can see where I have fallen short

Of the things I promised you.

I can see mow throug my tear filled eyes no love on your face,

I must get used to seein' strangers in my place.

JEFFERSON AIRPLANE lyrics - Easter?



(G. Slick)



Golden velvet robes on Pope Paul, he's talking--he's stalking devils of

flesh. Rides through the streets instead of walking. I think his holy story

is a mess. All I did last Easter all I did was paint some eggs. It was a

resurrection holy day-- no more nails in the holy legs. Only one true holy

book in your hand. Singing in latin nobody understands. Licking wafers

paper thin.

Ah, stupid christian isn't it grand? Is that your reason for this day? Do

you have a little something holy you'd like to say? Something about a magic,

sacred, holy day. You look holy and humble on your knees, but it looks

funny when you run that way. Pope Paul taking all your money for turning

your feet into clay (pigeon).



One man of peace dies, and a hundred wars begin. You keep murdering

people in his christian name--I thought he said--I thought he said that was

a sin. Soldier where have you been? What is your reason for this day? Do you

have a little something holy you'd like to say to me? Something about a

magic, sacred, holiday. All I'm going to do this easter--I'm just going to

look for eggs. It's a resurrection holy day--no more nails in the holy legs. No

more brains in the christian.


BEE GEES lyrics - I Laugh In Your Face



The circus is coming to see you.

The elephant smiles.

Ev'rybody can hear you say that's out of style.

My brother is friendly for reasons, if I am the same.

Just for four hundred seasons we all live in rain.



So I laugh in your face. Your only one race.

Yes I laugh in your face and I'm right.

You lie just like the rest. But there's nobody best.

So I laugh in your face and I'm right.



I'll pull out your plug so your small.

You'll slide down the drain.

On the steps of St. Peter's you all look the same.



So I laugh in your face. Your only one race.

Yes I laugh in your face and I'm right.

You lie just like the rest. But there's nobody best.

So I laugh in your face and I'm right.



The circus is coming to see you. The elephant smiles.

Ev'rybody can hear you say that's out of style.

So I laugh in your face. You're only one race.

Yes I laugh in your face and I'm right.

You lie just like the rest. But there's nobody best.

So I laugh in your face and I'm right.

BOB DYLAN lyrics - World Gone Wrong



Strange things have happened like never before

My baby told me I would have to go

I can't be good no more, once like I did before

I can't be good, baby

Honey, because the world gone wrong.



Feel bad this morning, ain't got no home

No use in worrying cause the world gone wrong

I can't be good no more, once, like I did before

I can't be good baby

Honey, because the world gone wrong.



I told you baby, right to your head

If I didn't leave you, I would have to kill you dead

I can't be good no more, once, like I did before

I can't be good baby

Honey, cause the world gone wrong.



I tried to be lovin', and treat you kind

But it seem like you never right, you got no loyal mind

I can't be good no more, once, like I did before

I can't be good baby

Honey, cause the world's gone wrong.



If you had a woman and she don't treat you kind

Praise the Good Lord to get her out of your mind

I can't be good no more, once, like I did before

I can't be good baby

Honey, because the world gone wrong.



Said, when you been good now, can't do no more

Just tell her kindly, "There is the front door"

I can't be good no more, once, like I did before

I can't be good baby

Honey, because the world's gone wrong.



Pack up my suitcase, give me my hat

No use to ask me baby, cause I'll never be back

I can't be good no more, once, like I did before

I can't be good baby.

Honey, because the world gone wrong.


BARBRA STREISAND lyrics - I Can See It



(J. Melfi & R. Perry)



Beyond that road lies a shining world.

Beyond that road lies despair.

Beyond that road lies a world that's gleaming.

People who are scheming.

Beauty!

Hunger!

Glory!

Sorrow!

Never a pain or care.

I'm liable to find a couple of surprises there.

There's a song he must sing;

It's a well-known song.

But the tune is bitter

And it doesn't take long to learn!



I can learn!

That pretty little world that beams so bright.

That pretty little world that seems delightful

Can burn!

Let me learn! Let me learn!



For, I can see it!

Shining somewhere!

Bright lights somewhere invite me to come there

And learn!

And I'm ready!



I can hear it!

Sirens singing!

Inside my ear I hear them all singing

Come learn!



Who knows, maybe

All the visions I can see

May be waiting just for me

To say take me there, and



Make me see it!

Make me feel it!

I know it's so

I know that it really

May be!

Let me learn!


JOAN BAEZ lyrics - Lonesome Road



(Traditional)



Look up and down that lonesome road,

Hang down your head and cry - my Lord!

Hang down your head and cry



They say all good friends must part sometimes

Why not you and I (my Lord)

Why not you and I



I wish to the Lord that I've never been born,

Or died when I was a baby, my Lord!

Or died when I was a baby



I would've not been here eating this cold cold bread

And supping this salty gravy, my Lord!

And supping this salty gravy



I wish to the Lord that I've never seen your face,

Heard your lying tongue, my Lord!

Heard your lying tongue



So look up and down that lonesome road,

All our friends have gone, my Lord!

And you and I must go



Look up and down that lonesome road,

Hang down your head and cry - my Lord!

Hang down your head and cry


RICHARD WRIGHT lyrics - Confusion



(Harris)



You know I stand in disbelief

I find strange consolation in your leaving

Life's so supernatural

Cannot survive forever without breathing



You can't live without disguise

And understand your mind

You can look me in the eyes

The only thing you'll find is your confusion



The stories that you tell to me

Are fragments of your own imagination

People you pretend to be

Will you behold in fascination



Until you stop to realize

That life is not for fun

When a thoughtless story dies

And standing there alone in your confusion

And where do you go from there?

It's your confusion



Alone inside your fantasy

You're afraid to leave your plastic situation

But still you find it hard to see

That this was meant to beyour destination



For you can live without disguise

And understand your mind

For you can look me in the eyes

The only thing you'll find is your confusion

And where do you go from there?

It's your confusion



Until you stop to realize

That life is not for fun

When a thoughtless story dies

And standing there alone in your confusion

Your confusion



Where do you go from there?

Nowhere!

Confusion!



Confusion


PETER, PAUL AND MARY lyrics - El Salvador



(Noel Paul Stookey and Jim Wallis)



There's a sunny little country south of Mexico

Where the winds are gentle and the waters flow

But breezes aren't the only things that blow

in El Salvador



If you took the little lady for a moonlight drive

Odds are still good you'd come back alive

But everyone is innocent until they arrive

in El Salvador



If the rebels take a bus on the grand highway

The government destroys a village miles away

The man on the radio says 'now we'll play South of the Border'

And in the morning the natives say,

We're happy you have lived another day

Last night a thousand more passed away

in El Salvador



There's a television crew here from ABC

Filming Rio Lempe and the refugees

Calling murdered children the 'tragedy'

of El Salvador



Before the government cameras 20 feet away

Another man is asking for continued aid

Food and medicine and hand grenades

for El Salvador



There's a thump, a rumble, and the buildings sway

A soldier fires the acid spray

The public address system starts to play South of the Border

You run for cover and hide your eyes

You hear the screams from paradise

They've fallen further than you realize

in El Salvador



Just like Poland is 'protected' by her Russian friends

The junta is 'assisted' by Americans

And if 60 million dollars seems too much to spend

in El Salvador



They say for half a billion they could do it right

Bomb all day, burn all night

Until there's not a living thing upright

in El Salvador



They'll continue training troops in the USA

And watch the nuns that got away

And teach the military bands to play South of the Border

And kill the people to set them free

Who put this price on their liberty?

Don't you think it's time to leave

El Salvador?


THE GUESS WHO lyrics - Laughing



(Randy Bachman and Burton Cummings)



I should laugh, but I cry

Because your love has passed me by

You took me by surprise

You didn't realize that I was waiting



Time goes slowly but carries on

And now the best years have come and gone

You took me by surprise

I didn't realize that you were laughing



Laughing - the things you're doin' to me

Laughing - that ain't the way it should be

You took away everything I had

You put the hurt on me



Laughing - the things you're doin' to me

Laughing - that ain't the way it should be

You took away everything I had

You put the hurt on me



I go alone now, calling your name

After losing at the game

You took me by surprise

I didn't realize that you were laughing



Time goes slowly, but carries on

And now the best years, the best years have come and gone

You took me by surprise

I didn't realize, that you were laughing



Laughing - the things you're doin' to me

Laughing - that ain't the way it should be

You took away everything I had

You put the hurt on me



Laughing - the things you're doin' to me

Laughing - oh, what you're doin' to me

You took away everything I had

You put the hurt on me



Oo!

Laughing - ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

Laughing - ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

Laughing - well, you're laughin' at me

Laughing - well, you're laughin' at me

Laughing - oh, what you're doin' to me, girl

Laughing - I'm a-lookin', you're laughin'

Laughing - I'm a-lookin', you're laughin'

Laughing - you're a-lookin', I'm a-laughin'

Laughing - laughin' at me

Laughing - ah, but you're a-laughin', baby

Laughing


ALANNAH MYLES lyrics - Dark Side Of Me



I catch a chill when I look into your eyes

Something too familiar, I seem to recognize

Like lookin' in the mirror baby

And I'm scared of what I see

Lookin' at you baby, is the dark side of me



Comin' from the same place, two of a kind

Brought up on the wrong side of a one track mind

Whenever we're together baby,

We're as bad as we can be

Lookin' at you baby, is the dark side of me



There's two sides to every story

For every shame there's a glory

And I've tried to keep a balance

Between the dark and the light

But something don't add up

When I'm with you, how can two wrongs feel so right

Feel so right



Well it's a one way conversation between you and I

You ask all the right questions and need no reply

On all the wrong answers baby, we always tend to agree

Lookin' at you baby, is the dark side of me



Lookin' at you baby, is the dark side of me

GREG BROWN lyrics - Loneliness House



I went into the loneliness house,

Went on in and I locked the door,

Seen a lot of trouble when I was out and about,

I might not come out no more.



Pulled down the shades in the loneliness house,

I don't like it when the light's too bright,

People in the neighborhood, I seen 'em shout,

"You're right down the street from Love and Delight."



Sometimes my baby gets so sad,

She stopped by the other day,

I wouldn't answer and she got mad,

She said, "When you gonna come back out and play?"



Like an old grizzly down in his den,

Snorting and growling and turning about,

Maybe if I smell Spring on the wind,

I might think about coming back out.



It gets pretty quiet in the loneliness house,

There is trouble in the city, everybody screaming,

Once in a while I look out,

And it seems like you're just better off dreaming.



It gets kind of lonely in the loneliness house,

But the rain will freeze and the sun will scorch,

I hate to leave my dreams and doubts,

But I think I might go sit on the porch.


BOB SEGER & THE SILVER BULLET BAND lyrics - Ballad Of The Yellow Beret



This is a protest against protesters:

Fearless cowards of the U. S.A.

Bravely here at home they stay

They watch their friends get shipped away

The draft dodgers of the Yellow Beret



Yellow streaks up and down their spines

Men who gladly stay behind

They won't fight for the U. S.A.

They fought hard for the yellow beret



Men who faint at the sight of blood

Their high heeled boots weren't meant for mud

The draft board will hear their sob stories today

Only the best the yellow beret



Back at home a young wife waits

Her yellow beret has met his fate

He's been drafted for marching in a protest

Leaving her his last request



Put a yellow streak down my sons back

Make sure that he never ever fights back

At his physical have him say he's gay

Have him win the yellow beret



The yellow beret

Yeah the yellow beret


PULP lyrics - Pencil Skirt



When you raise your pencil skirt,

Like a veil before my eyes,

Like the look upon his face as he's zipping up his flies.

Oh I know that you're engaged to him.

Oh but I know that you want something to play with baby.



I'll be around when he's not in town,

I'll show you how you're doing it wrong,

I really love it when you tell me to stop.

Oh it's turning me on.



You can tell me some lies,

About the good times that you've had,

But I've kissed your more than twice,

And now I'm working on your Dad.

Oh baby.



I'll be around when he's not in town,

I'll show you how you're doing it wrong,

I really love it when you tell me to stop.

Oh it's turning me on.



If you look under the bed,

Then I can see my house from here,

So just lie against the wall,

And watch my conscience disappear now baby



I'll be around when he's not in town,

I'll show you how you're doing it wrong,

I really love it when you tell me to stop.

Oh it's turning me on.



I only come here cause I know it makes you sad.

I only do it cause I know you know it's bad.

Oh yes I know,

That it's ugly and it shouldn't be like that.

Oh but oh it's turning me on.


PAULA ABDUL lyrics - If I Were Your Girl



Brokenhearted

Unsatisfied

I can't help it I can't get you off my mind



She was so wrong

To treat you bad

She didn't know you were the best she'd ever had



If I were yours

And you were mine

I'd make sure that I could please you all the time



I'd be here waiting

I'd treat you right

If I were your girl

I'd keep up all night



Appreciate you

There's so much more

I would give you

If I were your girl



So frustrated

What do I do

I get excited when I'm standing next to you

Does she love you

Is she unkind

I don't know why you're there cause something isn't right



All the wonders of the world

Are the things that I would give if I were her



[Chorus]



I never felt this way inside

It's so hard, so very hard to hide

Cause I can see

That you don't receive

The things you deserve

I'd give you so much more

If I were your girl


PAUL MCCARTNEY lyrics - She's My Baby



My baby, she comes out at night,

she's takin' me by surprise,

She's my baby.



Like gravy, down to the last drop,

I keep mopping her up

Oh yeah, she's my baby.



She's my baby in the morning time,

when the sleep is in her eyes,

and the world is waking up,

she has a rhythm,

oh believe me, I ain't lyin';

She's a woman.



She's a lady in the evening time,

when the stars are in the sky,

that's the time she changes back into a kitten,

oh believe me, I ain't lyin'.



She's my baby.

She's my baby in the morning time,

when the sleep is in her eyes,

and the world is waking up,

she has a rhythm,

oh believe me, I ain't lyin';

She's a woman.



She's a lady in the evening tiem,

when the stars are in the sky,

that's the time she changes back into a kitten,

oh believe me, I ain't lyin'.



Ooh, like gravy,

sown to the last drop,

I keep moppin' it up,

moppin' it up, yeah,

She's my baby...

RICHARD THOMPSON lyrics - Jet Plane In A Rocking Chair



(Richard Thompson)



Jet plane in a rocking chair

Roller coaster roll nowhere

Deaf and dumb old dancing bear

I'll change this heart of mine

This time, this time



Sea cruise in a diving bell

Run a mile in a wishing well

Soft soap and nothing to sell

I'll change this heart of mine

This time, this time



Here comes the real thing

I've been waiting, for so long

For so long

I've been looking for a love like you.



Crossed-line on the telephone

Crossed eyes and a canny moan

Cross fingers and head for home

I'll change this heart of mine

This time, this time



Play sick in a feather bed

Act cool when you're stony dead

I'm a fool with a size one head

I'll change this heart of mine

This time, this time



Here comes the real thing

I've been waiting, for so long

For so long

I've been looking for a love like you



Jet plane in a rocking chair

Roller coaster roll nowhere

Deaf and dumb old dancing bear

I'll change this heart of mine

This time, this time

This time, this time

This time, this time

THE MONKEES lyrics - Words



Girl, don't you know everytime I see you smilin'?

Hurts so bad cause when I see you, I start tryin'.

Try everything to stop but there's no denying.

Falling in love with you girl is just like dying.



Ohhh, don't walk away.

Ohh, How can I make you stay, don't turn away

I can still hear you saying those



[Chorus:]

Words that never were true.

Spoken to help nobody but you.

Words with lies inside,

But small enough to hide

'Til your playin' was through. Ah!



Girl don't you know we can work it out with talkin'?

You won't turn around or slow down your walking.

I've given you everything with kiss to seal it

You had to get your kicks with tryin' to steal it.



Now, I'm standing here.

Strange, strange voices in my ears, I feel the tears

But all I can hear are those



[Chorus]



Now, I'm standing here.

Strange, strange voices in my ears, I feel the tears

But all I can hear are those-



[Chorus]


DOLLY PARTON lyrics - Mountain Angel



(Dolly Parton)



Pretty as an angel from the day that she was born

Skin as fair as Lily's hair, as golden as the corn

They knew that she was special from the moment she first cried

She was a mountain angel certified

She was her momma's baby, she was her daddy's pride

Good at home, at church and school, at everything she tried

Everybody's darlin' led a charmed and peaceful life

The perfect mountain angel 'til he arrived

And ohh, she fell so deeply

Ooh, she couldn't stop

She gave herself to him, milled it completely

He lifted her so high he let her drop



She gave up everything for him that mattered in her life

All the others that had loved her and she vowed to be his wife

She dreamed of bearing children in an ivy-covered house

The mountain angel's sunshine turned to clouds

The wicked handsome stranger left the way he came

Broke her heart and broke her mind

She never was the same

They say he was the devil

That had come to steal her soul

She never loved another it was told

They say she had a baby

Some say that it had died

They it's just as well

As it had been the devil's child

They say good conquers evil

But here, evil won the prize

So the mountain angel took to the wild



And ooh, she couldn't take it

Years passed and she had long since lost her mind

She waited for him as her beauty faded

Her parents died from grief before their time



She tried to gather pieces of her life, they wouldn't fit

Beside the tiny grave deep in the woods is where she'd sit

Talking to the child, herself, to him, who knew for sure

Possessed they say by satan's insane lure

High a'top the mountain, for years they say she's seen

Looking down upon the town where she had once been queen

She'd sneak around the playground, watch the little children play

They'd see the crazy lady then run away

They say she roamed these hills for years, wearing not a stitch

The lovely mountain angel now thought to be a witch

She made those wailing mournful sounds

That you could hear for miles

Long after she laid down upon her baby's grave and died



And ooh, her ghost is callin'

She's waiting for the ones that she adored

Through spring and summer, fall when snow is fallin'

Her spirit roams these hills forever more

The mountain angel's voices ever more



Oohh, oooo

Oohh, oooo

Oohh, oooo

MARK KNOPFLER lyrics - Madame Geneva's



I'm a maker of ballads right pretty

I write them right here in the street

You can buy them all over the city

Yours for a penny a sheet

I'm a word pecker out of the printers



I'll write up a scene on a counter

- confessions and sins in the main, boys

Confessions and sins in the main



Then you'll find me in Madame Geneva's

Keeping the demons at bay

There's nothing like gin for drowning them in

But they'll always be back on a hanging day



They come rattling over the cobbles

They sit on their coffins of black

Some are struck dumb, some gabble

Top-heavy on brandy or sack

The pews are all full of fine fellows

And the hawker has set up her shop

As they're turning them off at the gallows

She'll be selling right under the drop, boys

Selling right under the drop



Then you'll find me in Madame Geneva's

Keeping the demons at bay

There's nothing like gin for drowning them in

But they'll always be back on a hanging day


RICKY NELSON lyrics - We've Got A Long Way To Go



It's alright to take my hand, I'm your brother

Wanna show you one way or another

Come on and walk with me

I wanna make you see that's it's alright

It's alright



It's alright to take a stand, I'm your brother

Don't be afraid, we all belong to each other

I want to make you see that's it's alright

It's alright



Don't let it get ya down

We're gonna change I know

So put your feet on the ground

We got such a long way to go

We got such a long way to go

We got such a long way to go



It's alright to take my hand, I'm your brother

Don't be afraid, we all belong to each other

Come on and walk with me

I wanna make you see that's it's alright

It's alright



Don't let it get ya down

We're gonna change I know

So put your feet on the ground

We got such a long way to go

We got such a long way to go

We got such a long way to go

We got such a long way to go

We got such a long way to go

We got such a long way to go


THE EAGLES lyrics - Visions



Visions, that you stir in my soul

Visions, that will never grow old

Sweet baby, I had some visions of you

If I can't have it all, just a taste will do



Go ahead and live all your fantasies

(Don't you ever think about the other side?)

Helps you get from where you are

To where you want to be

(You and me oughta be taking a ride)

You do the best you can

And you make your mistakes

(If you don't like it, you can say that you tried)

'Cause all I have to give is whatever it takes



Play on, El Chingadero, play on

Play on, El Chingadero



Dance, angel, dance 'til you wear out your blues

(Only thing that's gonna save you now)

Take another chance, you got nothing to lose

(The boy didn't love you anyhow)

Girl, you drive me wild when you do what you do

(Something makes me want to take you down)

If I can't have it all, just a taste will do

Just a taste of you


ELTON JOHN lyrics - Empty Sky



I'm not a rat to be spat on locked up in this room

Those bars that look towards the sun at night look towards the moon

Everyday the swallows play in the clouds of love

Make me wish that I had wings take me high above



And I looked high and saw the empty sky

If I could only, I could only fly

I'd drift with them in endless space

But no man flies from this place



At night I lay upon my bench and stare towards the stars

The cold night air comes creeping in and home seems oh so far

If only I could swing upon those twinkling dots above

I'd look down from the heavens upon the ones I love



Hey the lucky locket hangs around your precious neck

Some luck I ever got with you and I wouldn't like to bet

That sooner or later you'll own just one half of this land

By shining your eyes on the wealth of every man



Just send up my love ain't seen nothing but tears

Now I've got myself in this room for years

I don't see no one, I never see anyone

KINGDOM COME lyrics - Hands Of Time



No more tomorrow

Is what they talk about

Everyone borrows

On time while living in doubt

Innocent laughter

Filling the children's eyes

Don't let disaster

Destroy the magic of life



[Chorus:]

The sun is fading darkness comes in the sky

I wish we could turn back the hands of time



Why are we destined

Making the same mistakes

Especially next time

It could be far too late



Living together

Needing to compromise

Harder than ever

To stand the test of time


KISS lyrics - Love Gun



I really love you baby

I love what you've got

Let's get together, we can

Get hot

No more tomorrow, baby

Time is today

Girl, I can make you feel

Okay



No place for hidin' baby

No place to run

You pull the trigger of my

Love gun, (love gun), love gun

Love gun, (love gun), love gun



You can't forget me baby

Don't try to lie

You'll never leave me, mama

So don't try

I'll be a gambler, baby

Lay down the bet

We get together, mama

You'll sweat



No place for hidin' baby

No place to run

You pull the trigger of my

Love gun, (love gun), love gun

Love gun, (love gun), love gun

Love gun, love gun



Love gun, (love gun), love gun

Love gun, (love gun)

Love gun, (love gun), love gun

Love gun, (love gun), love gun

Love gun, (love gun)

Love gun, (love gun)

Love gun, (love gun)

Love gun, (love)


PETE TOWNSHEND lyrics - Man And Machines



Man makes machines

To man the machines

That make the machines

That make the machines



Make a machine

To make a machine

And man and machine

Will make a machine



To break the machines

That make the machines...

ELTON JOHN lyrics - Porch Swing In Tupelo



There's a porch swing in Tupelo

In the shade of the south

Where the sweet honey drips off that old hush-yo'-mouth

It's a slow road on down

That old Natchez Trace

Through Alabama cotton fields to a state of grace

It's a crisp golden Autumn

On the Tennessee line

Rolling down to Mississippi like you headed back in time

Town's closed on Sunday

Everybody's in church

It's empty as the moon this place here on earth



And this place don't change

Some places move slow

I'm just rocking myself on this porch swing in Tupelo

I got nothing to do 'cept hang in the breeze

Ghosts of the old south are all around me

Yea swing high, yea swing low

Here on this porch swing in Tupelo



His mama must have loved him

That truck drivin' boy

With the grease monkey look and the rock 'n roll voice

Well I was just thinkin' 'bout him

'Cause I guess he sat here

Singing all praise to God through poverty's tears



And this place don't change

Some places move slow

I'm just rocking myself on this porch swing in Tupelo

I got nothing to do 'cept hang in the breeze

Ghosts of the old south are all around me

Yea swing high, yea swing low

Here on this porch swing in Tupelo



And this place don't change

Some places move slow

I'm just rocking' myself on this porch swing in Tupelo

I got nothing to do 'cept hang in the breeze

Ghosts of the old south are all around me

Yea swing high, yea swing low

Here on this porch swing in Tupelo



And this place don't change

Some places move slow

I'm just rocking' myself on this porch swing in Tupelo

I got nothing to do but hang in the breeze

The ghosts of the old south all around me

Yea swing high, yea swing low

On this porch swing in Tupelo



Here on this porch swing in Tupelo



Here on this porch swing in Tupelo


THE KINKS lyrics - All Of My Friends Were There



My big day, it was the biggest day of my life.

It was the summit of my long career,

But I felt so down, and I drank too much beer,

The management said that I shouldn't appear.

I walked out onto the stage and started to speak.

The first night I've missed for a couple of years,

I explained to the crowed and they started to jeer,

And just when I wanted no one to be there,

All of my friends were there.

Not just my friends, but their best friends too.

All of my friends were there to stand and stare,

Say what they may, all of their friends need not stay.

Those who laughed were not friends anyway.

All of my friends were there to stand and stare.



Days went by, I walked around dressed in a disguise.

I wore a mustache and I parted my hair,

And gave the impression that I did not care,

But oh, the embarrassment, oh, the dispair.

Came the day, helped with a few large glasses of gin,

I nervously mounted the stage once again,

Got through my performance and no one complained,

Thank God I can go back to normal again.

I went to that old cafe,

Where I had been in much happier days,

And all of my friends were there,

And no one cared.

Say what they may, all of my friends were there.

Not just my friends, but their best friends too.

All of my friends were there,

Now I don't care.


JANET JACKSON lyrics - Black Cat



All the lonely nights I spend alone

Never around to love me

You're always gone

Cause you're hangin out

Breakin' the rules

Oh the man has come

Looking for you

You're a rebel now

Don't give a damn

Always carrying on

With the gang

I'm trying to tell you boy

It's a mistake

You won't realize

Til it's too late



Don't understand

Why you insist

On ways of living such a dangerous life

Time after time you stay away

And I just know that you're telling me lies



Black cat

Nine lives

Short days

Long nights

Livin on the edge

Not afraid to die

Heart beat

Real strong

But not

For long

Better watch your step

Or you're gonna die



You're so together boy

But just at a glance

You'll do anything

If given a chance

Scheming, plannin lies

To get what you need

So full of promises

That you never keep



Don't you tell yourself

That it's okay

Sick and tired of

All of your games

And you want me to stay

Better change

Makes no sense to me

Your crazy ways



Black cat

Nine lives

Short days

Long nights

Livin on the edge

Not afraid to die

Heart beat

Real strong

But not

For long

Better watch your step

Or you're gonna die


PAUL MCCARTNEY & WINGS lyrics - Name And Address



Our love affair was over on the second day

You packed a bag and like a birdie flew away

Meanwhile i'm sitting here, i'm getting in a mess

If you want my love, leave your name and address

I used to love you baby, when i was your man

But maybe loving you is something no one man can do

Meanwhile i'm sitting here, i'm getting in a mess

If you want my love, leave your name and address



Love to feel the tingle of your heavenly caresses

Love to intermingle, a lonely single without addresses

If you want my love, leave your name and address



But if it's all over baby, you know i'll understand

Maybe i'll hate to think of you with another man

Meanwhile i'm sitting here, i'm getting in a mess

If you want my love, leave your name and address
