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
I've got you, well, in my sights
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
I drink whiskey, you say goodnight
I'll put an end, to this here fight you're a
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
