CAMEL lyrics - Simple Pleasures

(Latimer/Hoover)



When she left the room

Her perfume filled the air.

Thirty years gone

It's still there.



How I love to breathe

The air she left behind.

This trick of fortune

Fills my mind.



Simple pleasures,

Silver treasures.

Take me far, far away...



Faded roses on

A table set for two.

An open window

Shares my view.



Out among the fields,

Breezes dance and play.

Tender mercies

Soothe my day.



Simple pleasures,

Silver treasures,

Take me far, far away...

JOHN DENVER lyrics - The First Noel

The first Noel, the angel did say,

Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;

In fields where they lay keeping their sheep,

On a cold winter's night that was so deep.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,

Born is the King of Israel.



They looked up and saw a star

Shining in the the East, beyond them far;

And to the earth it gave great light,

And so it continued both day and night.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,

Born is the King of Israel.



And by the light of that same star,

Three wise men came from country far;

To seek for a King was their intent,

And to follow the star wherever it went.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,

Born is the King of Israel.



This star drew night to the northwest,

O'er Bethlehem it took its rest;

And there it did both stop and stay,

Right over the place where Jesus lay.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,

Born is the King of Israel.



Then entered in those wise men three,

Full reverently upon their knee;

And offered there in his presence,

Their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,

Born is the King of Israel.

MARIAH CAREY lyrics - Flyaway (Butterfly Reprise)

When you love someone so deeply

They become your life

It's easy to succumb to overwhelming fears inside

Blindly I imaged I could

Keep you under glass

Now I understand to hold you

I must open my hands

And watch you rise



Spread your wings and prepare to fly

For you have become a butterfly

Fly abandonedly into the sun

If you should return to me

We truly were meant to be

So spread your wings and fly

Butterfly



I have learned that beauty

Has to flourish in the light

Wild horses run unbridled

Or their spirit dies

You have given me the courage

To be all that I can

And truly feel your heart will

Lead you back to me when you're

Ready to land



Spread your wings and prepare to fly

For you have become a butterfly

Fly abandonedly into the sun

If you should return to me

We truly were meant to be

So spread your wings and fly



Butterfly



I can't pretend these tears

Aren't over flowing steadily

I can't prevent this hurt from

Almost overtaking me

But will stand and say goodbye

For you'll never be mine

Until you know the way it feels to fly



Spread your wings and prepare to fly

For you have become a butterfly

Fly abandonedly into the sun

If you should return to me

We truly were meant to be

So spread your wings and fly

Butterfly



Spread your wings and prepare to fly

For you have become a butterfly

Fly abandonedly into the sun

If you should return to me

We truly were meant to be

So spread your wings and fly

Butterfly

NEIL YOUNG lyrics - Sixty To Zero

All the champs and the heroes

They got a price to pay

They go from sixty to zero

In the split of a hair

They see the face in the window

They feel a shadow out there

They've got the places they can go

They've got the people who stare

They've got to walk in their shoes

They've got to see what they see

They've got the people around them

Getting too much for free

All the pimps and the dealers

All the food they can eat

All the screamers and squealers

When they walk down the street

Yeah.



He's just a rich old man

He never cared for anyone

He likes to count his possessions

He's been a miser from penny one

He never cared for his children

Never cared for his wife

Never made anyone happy

That's the way he lived his life

And one day in the sunshine

He got a bolt from the blue

Unloaded all of his possessions

Sold his investments too

And now he lives with the homeless

Owns 900 hospital beds

He prefers to remain nameless

It's publicity he dreads

Yeah.



There's a judge in the city

He goes to work every day

Spends his life in the courthouse

Keeps his perspective that way

But I respect his decision

He's got a lot on his mind

He's pretty good with the gavel

A little heavy on the fines

One day there was this minstrel

Who came to court on a charge

That he blew someone's head off

Because his amp was too large

And the song he was singin'

Was not for love but for cash

Well, the judge weighed the charges

He fingered his mustache

Yeah.



Well, there's a clown in a carnival

He rode a painted horse

He came from somewhere out west

He was very funny of course

But that is not what I noticed

It was the incredible force

With which he held his audience

While he rode on his horse

His jokes were not that off-color

His smile was not that sincere

His show was not that sensational

Reasons for success were not clear

But he still made big money

One day the circus was his

Now he's married to the acrobat

And they're training their kids

Yeah.



Now the jailhouse was empty

All the criminals were gone

The gate was left wide open

And a buck and fawn

Were eating grass in the courtyard

When the warden walked in

And took a rifle

from the prison guard

And said to him with a grin

To shoot those deer

would be stupid, sir

We already got 'em right here

Why not just

lock the gates and keep them

With intimidation and fear?

But the warden pulled the trigger

And those deer hit the ground

He said Nobody'll

know the difference

And they both looked around.

Yeah.



Well, the cop made the showdown

He was sure he was right

He had all of the lowdown

From the bank heist last night

His best friend was a robber

And his wife was a thief

All the children were murderers

They couldn't get no relief

The bungalow was surrounded

When a voice loud and clear

Come out with your hands up

Or we're gonna blow you out of here

There was a face in the window

TV cameras rolled

And they cut to the announcer

And the story was told.

Yeah.



Well, the artist

looked at the producer

The producer sat back

He said What we have got here

Is a pretty good track

But we don't have a vocal

And we still don't have a song

If we could

get this thing accomplished

Nothin' else could go wrong

So he balanced the ashtray

And he picked up the phone

And said Send me a songwriter

Who's drifted far from home

And make sure that he's hungry

And make sure he's alone

And send me a cheeseburger

And a new Rolling Stone

Yeah.



Well, the Sioux in Dakota

They lost all of their land

And now a basketball player

Is trying to lend them a hand

Maybe someday he'll be president

He's quite a popular man

But now the chief has reservations

And the white man has plans

There's opposition in Congress

The bill is up against cash

There's really no way of predicting

If it will fly or it will crash

But that's the nature of politics

That's the name of the game

That's how it looks in the tepee

Big winds are blowing again

Yeah.



There's still crime in the city

Said the cop on the beat

I don't know if I can stop it

I feel like meat on the street

They paint my car like a target

I take my orders from fools

Meanwhile

some kid blows my head off

Well, I play by their rules

So now I'm doing it my way

I took the law in my own hands

Here I am in the alleyway

A wad of cash in my pants

I get paid by a ten year old

He says he looks up to me

There's still crime in the city

But it's good to be free

Yeah.



Now I come from a family

That has a broken home

Sometimes I talk to my daddy

On the telephone

When he says that he loves me

I know that he does

But I wish I could see him

Wish I knew where he was

But that's

the way all my friends are

Except maybe one or two

Wish I could see him this weekend

Wish I could walk in his shoes

But now I'm doin' my own thing

Sometimes I'm good, then I'm bad

Although my home has been broken

It's the best home I ever had

Yeah.



Well, I keep getting younger

My life's been funny that way

Before I ever learned to talk

I forgot what to say

I sassed back to my mummy

I sassed back to my teacher

I got thrown out of Sunday School

For throwin' bibles at the preacher

Then I grew up to be a fireman

I put out every fire in town

Put out everything smoking

But when I put the hose down

The judge sent me to prison

Gave me life without parole

Wish I never put the hose down

Wish I never got old.

CARPENTERS lyrics - Aurora

Morning opens quietly

A shadow vision

Over me

I know you well

Hidden by the window pane

And all my sadness

Gone charade

Begins to fade

How long it stayed



Patterns of another day

Awaken slowly

Out of gray

A tolling bell

Rolling down the alleyway

It's calling all

My dreams away

My dreams are songs I play

CELINE DION lyrics - Reveal

In a never ending circle

I've been sheltering a dream

I could climb over a rainbow

To a place I haven't been



Never felt this way before

Trusting you I feel so sure

Now we are behind closed doors

The way you make me feel



Reveal



What we do in privacy

Make a woman out of me

When you're close it feels so right

You and I reveal tonight



Take me from this lonely river

Home into the open sea

Never felt this way before

In your hands I'm free to fall

Show what's underneath it all

The way you make me feel



Reveal



What we do in privacy

Make a woman out of me

When you're close it feels so right

You and I reveal tonight



An every breath I take

I feel you here inside me

Each night I lie awake

Dreaming you will find me



And every brand new morning

You're the sun that's dawning

And I love that landslide

Feels so good I want to cry



Never felt this way before

In your hands I'm free to fall

Show what's underneath it all

The way you make me feel



Reveal



What we do in privacy

Make a woman out of me

When you're close it feels so right

You and I reveal tonight



Reveal



What we do in privacy

Make a woman out of me

When you're close it feels so right

You and I reveal tonight



Let me reveal myself

Let me reveal myself

Let me reveal myself

Let me reveal myself

SONIC YOUTH lyrics - Sugar Kane

You're perfect in the way, a perfect end today

You're burning out their lights, and burning in their eyes

I love you Sugar Kane, a-comin' from the rain

Oh kiss me like a frog, and turn me into flame

I love you all the time, I need you 8 to 9

And I can stay all night, yr body shining



And I know

There's something down there sugar soul

Back to the cross a twisted lane

There something down there sugar kane



I'm back again in love, I'm back again a dove

Where'd you get your light, your smilin' sugar life

Another lovers day, another cracked up night

Every night I say, the light is coming



And I know

There's something down there sugar cone

Back to the cross a twisted lane

There's something down there sugar kane



Hey angel come and play, and fly me away

A stroll along the beach, until you're out of time

I love you sugar kane, a crack into the dream

I love you sugar kane, I love you sugar kane

I love you sugar kane, I love you sugar kane

I love you sugar kane, I love you sugar

PINK FLOYD lyrics - The Dogs Of War

Dogs of war and men of hate

With no cause, we don't discriminate

Discovery is to be disowned

Our currency is flesh and bone

Hell opened up and put on sale

Gather 'round and haggle

For hard cash, we will lie and deceive

Even our masters don't know the web we weave

One world, it's a battleground

One world, and we will smash it down

One world... One world

Invisible transfers, long distance calls,

Hollow laughter in marble halls

Steps have been taken, a silent uproar

Has unleashed the dogs of war

You can't stop what has begun

Signed, sealed, they deliver oblivion

We all have a dark side, to say the least

And dealing in death is the nature of the beast

One world, it's a battleground

One world, and we will smash it down

One world... One world

The dogs of war don't negotiate

The dogs of war won't capitulate,

They will take and you will give,

And you must die so that they may live

You can knock at any door,

But wherever you go, you know they've been there before

Well winners can lose and things can get strained

But whatever you change, you know the dogs remain.

One world, it's a battleground

One world, and we will smash it down

One world... One world

BOBBIE GENTRY lyrics - Ode To Billie Joe

(Bobbie Gentr)



It was the third of June, another sleepy, dusty Delta day

I was out choppin' cotton and my brother was balin' hay

And at dinner time we stopped and walked back to the house to eat

And Mama hollered out the back door "y'all remember to wipe your feet"

And then she said "I got some news this mornin' from Choctaw Ridge"

"Today Billy Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"



'n' Papa said to Mama as he passed around the blackeyed peas

"Well Billy Joe never had a lick of sense, pass the biscuits, please"

"There's five more acres in the lower forty I've got to plow"

'n' Mama said it was shame about Billy Joe, anyhow

Seems like nothin' ever comes to no good up on Choctaw Ridge

And now Billy Joe MacAllister's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge



'n' Brother said he recollected when he and Tom and Billie Joe

Put a frog down my back at the Carroll County picture show

And wasn't I talkin' to him after church last Sunday night?

"I'll have another piece-a apple pie, you know it don't seem right"

"I saw him at the sawmill yesterday on Choctaw Ridge"

"And now ya tell me Billie Joe's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"



'n' Mama said to me "Child, what's happened to your appetite?"

"I've been cookin' all morning and you haven't touched a single bite"

"That nice young preacher, Brother Taylor, dropped by today"

"Said he'd be pleased to have dinner on Sunday, oh, by the way"

"He said he saw a girl that looked a lot like you up on Choctaw Ridge"

"And she and Billy Joe was throwing somethin' off the Tallahatchie Bridge"



A year has come 'n' gone since we heard the news 'bout Billy Joe

'n' Brother married Becky Thompson, they bought a store in Tupelo

There was a virus going 'round, Papa caught it and he died last Spring

And now Mama doesn't seem to wanna do much of anything

And me, I spend a lot of time pickin' flowers up on Choctaw Ridge

And drop them into the muddy water off the Tallahatchie Bridge

SAMMY DAVIS JR. lyrics - Marshmallow World

It's a marshmallow world in the winter

When the snow comes to cover the ground

It's the time for play, it's a whipped cream day

I wait for it the whole year round.



Those are marshmallow clouds being friendly

In the arms of the evergreen trees

And the sun is red like a pumpkin head

It's shining so your nose wont freeze.



The world is your snowball, see how it grows

Thats how it goes whenever it snows

The world is your snowball just for a song

Get out and roll it along



It's a yum-yummy world made for sweethearts

Take a walk with your favorite girl

It's a sugar date, what if spring is late

In winter it's a marshmallow world.

GREEN DAY lyrics - Hearts Collide

Love conquers every time

When two hearts come to collide

You're the card in my valentine

And the candy hearts in my mind



And true love is the rule

And you're nobody's fool



The ship's coming to the light

And it was love at first sight

Baby, babe, you're the light

And the flame burns in my mind's eye



When triumph bleeds into bliss

And I knew it from the first kiss



Tonight, hearts collide

Hearts collide

Hearts collide



When triumph bleeds into bliss

And I knew it from the first kiss



Tonight, hearts collide

Hearts collide

Hearts collide

Tonight, hearts collide

Hearts collide

Hearts collide.

Tonight, hearts collide

Hearts collide

Hearts collide.

Tonight, hearts collide

Hearts collide

Hearts collide.

ERIC BURDON lyrics - I Just Want To Make Love To You

I don't want you be no slave

I don't want you work all day

I don't want 'cause I'm sad and blue

I just want to make love to you, baby

Well I can tell by the way that you twitch and walk

See by the way that you baby talk

Know by the way that you treat your man

I can love you, baby, till the night train

I don't want you wash my clothes

I just want to make love to you, baby

Love to you, baby

NAZARETH lyrics - Victoria

Victoria, Victoria I could love you for a hundred years

And still want more of ya!



It's been a long time now since high school days

But when I'm with you, darling you still amaze me

No one could ever come before ya

God knows how much I still adore ya



My Victoria, Victoria, I could love you for a hundred years

And still want more of ya!



Hey little girl when we first met

I was shaking so hard you really made me sweat

You opened up my eyes and showed me

You took me by surprise and floored me



We walked to school together

Just a boy and a girl

We talked through all kinds of weather

About giving our love a whirl



Do you remember at the high school dance

When the beach boys sang about good vibrations



My Victoria, Victoria, I could love you for a hundred years

And still want more of ya!



We walked to school together

Just a boy and a girl

We talked through all kinds of weather

About giving our love a whirl



We were cruisin' the strip every Friday night

Headin' for the beach in a two tone torc flight

First time I turned and saw you

God only knows I love you

Never anyone before you

Don't you know I still adore you



My Victoria, Victoria...........chorus to fade

LOBO lyrics - Cyber Love

(Kent LaVoie)



I've never been where I am now

I've never felt the same

Everything has changed

And I'm spinning round and round and round



She's taking me to a world

That's beyond my mind

Another pace and time

A place I never want to come back from



Beside her

Inside her

I'm in Cy-ber Love

Cyber Love



Cyber love has no end

It goes on and on

A never ending song

A circle going round and round and round

SANTANA lyrics - Love

(Carlos Santana & Chris Solberg)



Sufferin' night and day

People all around me crying

Enough--what's the use

We don't even feel like trying

Hatred, doubt, and fear

It's not the way toward the solution

There must be a way

To be free from all illusion



Love

Oh, love

All we need is love



History loudly claims

That we never learn our lesson

We kill one another

We put the blame on greed and passion

Wise men calmly say

Every man shall reach perfection

If we help each other

We will reach our destination



Love

Oh, love

All we need is love



Repeat chorus once more

BUDDY & JULIE MILLER lyrics - I Will Follow You

The street is narrow and it is straight, (I will follow you)

Leads me to a little gate, (I will follow you)

Turn and leave the past aside, (I will follow you)

Lead me on against the tide. (I will follow you)



I will follow you anywhere you want me to,

I will follow you everywhere you go.



Some may join me, some forsake me, (I will follow you)

But whatever it may take me...(I will follow you)

If my friends should stay behind... (I will follow you)

There's nothing gonna change my mind, (I will follow you)

I will follow.



I will follow you, nothing's gonna hold me down,

I will follow you and never turn around.



Take me where the rivers flow; baptise me before I go,

Lay down my pride, take up my cross - all the rest I count but lost,

I will follow.



I will follow you everywhere you want me to,

I will follow you everywhere you go.



Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, now.



When the powers of darkness fall...(I will follow you)

Follow by the Spirit's call, (I will follow you)

I will not give up this race...(I will follow you)

Until I see your holy face - your precious, holy face.



I will follow you, nothing's gonna hold me down,

I will follow you and never turn around.



Oh, I'll never turn around,

I'm gonna follow you, Lord,

I'm gonna follow you.

MORRISSEY lyrics - Trouble Loves Me

Trouble loves me

Trouble leads me

To things more than you do

Or would attempt to

So console me

Otherwise, hold me

Just when it seems like everything's evened out

And where balance seems serene

Trouble loves me

Walks beside me

To chide me

Not to guide me

It's still much more than you'll do

So console me

Otherwise, hold me

Just when it seems like everything's evened out

And the balance seems serene

See the fool I've been

Still running 'round

On the flesh rampage

Still running 'round

Ready with ready wit

Still running 'round

On the flesh rampage

At your age

Go to Soho, oh

Go to waste in the wrong arms

Still running 'round

Trouble loves me

Seeks and finds me

To charlatanize me

Which is only as it should be

Oh, please fulfill me

Otherwise, kill me

Show me a barrel and watch me scrape it

Faced with the music as always I'll face it

In the half-light

So English....frowning

Then at midnight, I

CAN'T GET YOU OUT OF MY HEAD

A disenchanted taste

Still running 'round

A disenchanted taste

Still running 'round

SARAH BRIGHTMAN lyrics - Anything But Lonely

Anything but lonely,

Anything but empty rooms.

There's so much in life to share --

What's the sense when no one else is there?



Anything but lonely,

Anything but only me.

Quiet years in too much space:

That's the thing that's hard to face,

And...



You have a right to go,

But you should also know

That I won't be alone for long.

Long days with nothing said

Are not what lie ahead --

I'm sorry, but I'm not that strong.



Anything but lonely,

Anything but passing time.

Lonely's what I'll never be,

While there's still some life in me,

And...



I'm still young, don't forget,

It isn't over yet --

So many hearts for me to thrill.

If you're not here to say

How good I look each day,

I'll have to find someone who will.



Anything but lonely,

Anything but empty rooms.

There's so much in life to share -

What's the sense when no one else is there...?



What's the sense when no one else is there...?

CARPENTERS lyrics - If We Try

(Rod Temperton)



I've been living memories

Lost in the warm of your smile

Driftin' through the dreams we used to share

Thinkin' 'bout the times we

spent in love without a care

And wishin' you were there



So darlin' if you

should feel you're lonely tonight

And you need someone next to you to hold you tight

Just call me and I'll be there by your side

Cause we can put that feelin' back inside us

If we try



Summer time was feelin' good

Holdin' the world in our hands

Seemed like what we had was growin' strong

Never even crossed our minds that

love would soon be gone

I guess that we were wrong



So darlin' if you

should feel you're lonely tonight

And you need someone next to you to hold you tight

Just call me and I'll be there by your side

Cause we can put that feelin' back inside us

If we try



So darlin' if you feel you're lonely tonight,

And you need someone next to you to hold you tight

Just call me and I'll be there by your side

(I'll be by your side)

Cause we've got all those memories to guide us

And we can put that feelin' back inside us

If we try

DIO lyrics - Sacred Heart

The old ones speak of winter

The young ones praise the sun

And time just slips away



Running into nowhere

Turning like a wheel

And a year becomes a day



Whenever we dream

That's when we fly

So here is a dream

For just you and I



We'll fin the Sacred Heart

Somewhere bleeding in the night

Look for the light

And find the Sacred Heart



Here we see the wizard

Staring through the glass

And he's pointing right at you



You can see tomorrow

The answer and the lie

And the things you've got to do



Oh, sometimes you never fall

And ah - You're the lucky one

But oh - Sometimes you want it all

You've got to reach for the sun



And find the Sacred Heart

Somewhere bleeding in the night

Oh look to the light

You fight to kill the dragon

And bargain with the beast

And sail into a sight



You run along the rainbow

And never leave the ground

And still you don't know why



Whenever you dream

You're holding the key

It opens the door

To let you be free



And find the Sacred Heart

Somewhere bleeding in the night

Run for the light

And you'll find the Sacred Heart



A shout comes from the wizard

The sky begins to crack

And he's looking right at you - Quick

Run along the rainbow

Before it turns to black - Attack

DREAM THEATER lyrics - The Root Of All Evil

VI. Ready



Proud enough for you to call me arrogant

Greedy enough to be labeled a thief

Angry enough for me to go and hurt a man

Cruel enough for me to feel no grief



Never could have just a part of it

I always need more to get by

Getting right down to the heart of it

The root of all evil been running my hole life



Dirty enough for me to lust

Leaving nothing left to trust

Jealous enough to still feel envious

Lazy enough to sleep all day

And let my life just waste away

Selfish enough to make you wait for me



Driven blindly by our sins

Misled so easily

Entirely ready to leave it behind

I'm begging to break free



Take all of me

The desires that keep burning deep inside

Cast them all away and help to give me strength to face another day

I'm ready

Help me be what I can be





VII. Remove



Self-centered fear has got a hold of me

Clutching my throat

Self righteous anger running all through me

Ready to explode



Procrastination paralyzing me

Wanting me dead

These obsessions that keep haunting me

Won't leave my head



Help to do for me what I can't do myself

Take this fear and pain

I can't break out of this prison all alone

Help me break these chains



Humility now my only hope

Won't you take all of me

Heal this dying soul



I can feel my body breaking

I can feel my body breaking

I'm ready to let it all go

I can feel my body shaking

Round down to the foundation

The root of it all



Take all of me

And the drive that keep burning deep inside

Cast it all away

And help to give me strength to face another day

I am ready

Help me what I can be

I am ready

Come to me

Take me away

MADONNA lyrics - Infinity

["Give It 2 Me" demo]



Anytime is not ever, now

So what are you waiting for

Why wait for someone to show you how

They may want it but you want it more



No boundaries, no limits

If there's excitement, then i'm in it

If it's against the law, arrest me

If you can handle it, undress me

Give me a record, I'll break it

Give me a chance to go and I'll take it

No beginning, no ending, on and on



Don't stop me now, don't need to catch my breath

I can go on and on, on and on

When the lights go down and there's no one left

I can go on and on, on and on



Infinity, infinity, infinity, infinity, infinity

On and on

Infinity, infinity, infinity, infinity, infinity

On and on



They say a good thing never lasts

What goes up is gonna have to fall

But if you care too much what people said

Then you wouldn't amount to much at all



No boundaries, no limits

If there's excitement, then i'm in it

If it's against the law, arrest me

If you can handle it, undress me

Give me a record, I'll break it

Give me a chance to go and I'll take it

No beginning, no ending, on and on



Don't stop me now, don't need to catch my breath

I can go on and on, on and on

When the lights go down and there's no one left

I can go on and on, on and on



Infinity, infinity, infinity, infinity, infinity

On and on

Infinity, infinity, infinity, infinity, infinity

On and on

ERASURE lyrics - Storm In A Teacup

I'm just saying I want my mummy back

Lost her to the drink but her soul's intact

Mama said to me be proud of who you are

She saw Jesus in the eyes of a broken man



Sail away I am learning my lesson

Mama sends her love and Godspeed you come home



One little white lie

Was enough to conceal my goodbye

Then I stole away kissed her farewell

And wished her the best for her life

Then I stole away woah like a thief in the night



I'm just saying not behind daddy's back

He takes care of her in his overtime

He's no saint I know as he goes around the town

Watch him cry himself to sleep, he's my daddy



Sail away, I will go it alone now

Leave my past behind to seek fortune and fame



One little white lie

Was enough to conceal my goodbye

Then I stole away kissed her farewell

And wished her the best for her life

Then I stole away woah like a thief in the night



Sail away, there's a storm in a teacup

Mama sends her love and Godspeed you come home



One little white lie

Was enough to conceal my goodbye

Then I stole away kissed her farewell

And wished her the best for her life

Then I stole away woah like a thief in the night



One little white lie

Was enough to conceal my goodbye

Then I stole away like a prodigal son

And wished her the best for her life

Then I stole away woah like a thief in the night

BONNIE RAITT lyrics - The Fundamental Things

Let's run naked through these city streets

We're all captives of captivity

Let's wear madness like a crucifix

Let's tattoo Bible quotes across both our hips



[Chorus:]

Let's get back to the fundamental things

Let's get back to the elements of style

Let's get back to simple skin on skin

Let's get back to the fundamental things



Let's dance barefoot over broken glass

Slither like a snake does through the wet, cold grass

Howl and tremble in a sleepless grind

Let's do the braindrain, leave it all behind



[Chorus]



You can sit in your room and worry

You can contemplate the end

Or let your house burn down behind you

Run bare-ass through the streets again



You can hide out on your rooftop

Wishing you had never been

Or go down to Hal's bar and grill

Find your innocence again



[Chorus]

BOB MARLEY lyrics - Want More

Now you get what you want,

Do you want more? (want more)

Now you get what you want,

Do you want more? (want more)



You think it's the end,

But it's just the beginning.

You think it's the end,

But it's just the beginning.

Go down back-biter, down back-bite; down back-biter, down back-bite!

Down back-biter, down back-biter; down back-biter, down back-bite!



They stab you in the back

And they claim that you're not looking.

But Jah have them in the region

In the valley of decision.

They stab you in the back

And they claim that you're not looking.

But Jah have them in the region

In the valley of decision -

In the valley of decision.

Go down back-biter, down back-bite, down back-biter, down back-bite!



Now you get, what you want,

Do you want more?

Now you get, what you want,

Do you want more?

Now you get, what you want,

Do you want more?

You think it's the end:

Do you want more?

---

[Guitar solo]

---

Go down back-biter, down back-bite, down back-biter, down back-bite!

Go down back-biter, down back-bite, down back-biter, down back-bite!



They stab you in the back

And they claim that you're not looking.

But Jah have them in the region

In the valley of decision.

Now: what you want?

Want more? Want more?

Now: what you get?

Want more? Want more?

Now - Now: do you want more?

You think it's the end: (think it's the end)

Do you want more? (want more) (you think it's the end)

[Instrumental break]

(Now: what you want?

Want more? Want more?

Now: what you get?

Want more? Want more?)

THE SPENCER DAVIS GROUP lyrics - Love Is On A Roll

I can't work late

Although I need the money

Gotta get home to my lovin' honey

She'll be there waitin'

Waitin' impatiently

Love is on a roll, love is on a good roll



Ah, love is on a roll

Ah, love is on a good roll



I'm a songwriter

A professional dreamer

Mostly a singer but sometimes a screamer

I should know

If anybody knows at all

When love is on a roll, love is on a good roll



So I gotta go. I gotta get home early

Be with my woman soft and curvy

Makes me feel like a king and not a regular joe

Love is on a roll, love is on a good roll

Love is on a roll, love is on a good roll

THE KINKS lyrics - See My Friends

See my friends,

See my friends,

Layin' 'cross the river,



See my friends,

See my friends,

Layin' 'cross the river,



She is gone,

She is gone and now there's no one left

'Cept my friends,

Layin' 'cross the river,



She just went,

She just went,

Went across the river.



Now she's gone,

Now she's gone,

Wish that I'd gone with her.



She is gone,

She is gone and now there's no one left

'Cept my friends,

Layin' 'cross the river,



She is gone and now there's no one else to take her place

She is gone and now there's no one else to love

'Cept my friends,

Layin' 'cross the river,



See my friends,

See my friends,

Layin' 'cross the river,



See my friends,

See my friends,

Layin' 'cross the river,

NEIL YOUNG lyrics - Music Arcade

Have you ever been lost

Have you ever been found out

Have you ever felt all alone

At the end of the day

Yeah I'm talkin' bout gettin' down

Take it easy - there's no one around

Just a mirror and you and me

And the TV screen



I was walkin down main street

Not the sidewalk but main street

Dodgin' traffic with flyin' feet

That's how good I felt

Took a spin in the laundromat

Played a game in the music arcade

Kept winnin' while the band played

That's how good I felt



Have you ever been lost

Have you ever been found out

Have you ever felt all alone

At the end of the day

Yeah I'm talkin' bout gettin' down

Take it easy - there's no one around

Just a mirror and you and me

And the TV sky



Have you ever been singled out

By a hungry man

You're listening to the radio

He's washin' your window

When you look in those vacant eyes

How does it harmonize

With the things that you do?

That's how good I felt



Have you ever been lost

Have you ever been found out

Have you ever felt all alone

At the end of the day

Yeah I'm talkin' bout gettin' down

Take it easy - there's no one around

Just a mirror and you and me

And the TV screen



There's a comet in the sky tonight

Makes me feel like I'm alright

I'm movin' prety fast

For my size

I really didn' mean to stay

As long as I have

So I'll be movin' on

DARYL HALL AND JOHN OATES lyrics - Make You Stay

I should have heard you talkin'

Now I'm a dead man walking

I should have paid more mind

To the little things, the little things



Why is love so complicated

Maybe that's the way we made it

Just tell me you won't go

Say it isn't so

Like on the radio

And if I could I'd write that song for you



[Chorus:]

If a song could make you cry

If a song could make you say goodbye

Could it change your mind

If a song could Make You Stay



It's a backward chain reaction

It's a lack of satisfaction

That makes our love breakdown

To the little things, the little things



Gone 180 degrees

Come back to me

Just tell me you won't go

Say it isn't so

Like on the radio

And if I could I'd write that song for you





[Chorus]



If a song could break you down

Then a song could turn our love around

Can you hear that sound

Can your hear that sound

If a song can Make You Stay

MOTT THE HOOPLE lyrics - One Of The Boys

(Mick Ralphs / Ian Hunter)



Know that I grow my hair just to scare the teacher

My goodness gracious me ain't little johnny a creature

And I lost count of the times when I never bathed

I'm one of the boys

One of the boys

I don't say much but I make a big noise

And it's growing alright its growing



I borrowed gypsy's gibson just to show them

And now I'm a rock and roll star I don't want to know them

If they want a stray they better go out a grow one

I'm one of the boys

One of the boys

I'm only human so I ain't got much choice

And I know it yeah I know it

Alright!

Hit it come on!



I'm just one of the boys

One of the boys

I don't say much but I make a big noise

And it's growing yeah its growing

I'm one of the boys

One of the boys

I'm only human so I ain't got much choice

And I know it yes I know it

One of the boys

I'm just one of the boys

One of the boys

I'm just one of the boys

One of the boys

I'm just one of the boys

One of the boys

I'm just one of the boys

Lets go! Alright!

Just just just just just

[Fade]

ART GARFUNKEL lyrics - That's All I've Got To Say

I've had time to write a book about

The way you act and look,

But I haven't got a paragraph.

Words are always getting in my way.

Anyway, I love you.

That's all I have to tell you,

That's All I've Got To Say.

AMY GRANT lyrics - Joy To The World

Joy to the world! The Lord is come.

Let earth receive her King

Let every heart

Prepare Him room

And Saints and angels sing

And Saints and angels sing

And Saints and Saints and angels sing



Joy to the world, the Saviour reigns

Let Saints their songs employ

While fields and floods

Rocks, hills and plains

Repeat the sounding joy

Repeat the sounding joy

Repeat, Repeat, the sounding joy



Joy to the world with truth and grace

And makes the nations prove

The glories of His righteousness

And wonders of His love

And wonders of His love

And wonders and wonders of His love



No more will sin and sorrow grow,

Nor thorns infest the ground;

He'll come and make the blessings flow

Far as the curse was found,

Far as the curse was found,

Far as, far as the curse was found.



He rules the world with truth and grace,

And gives to nations proof

The glories of His righteousness,

And wonders of His love;

And wonders of His love;

And wonders, wonders of His love.



Rejoice! Rejoice in the Most High,

While Israel spreads abroad

Like stars that glitter in the sky,

And ever worship God,

And ever worship God,

And ever, and ever worship God.

PRINCE lyrics - Sexuality

Stand up everybody, this is your life

Let me take u to another world, let me take u tonight

U don't need no money, u don't need no clothes

The Second Coming, anything goes

Sexuality is all u'll ever need

Sexuality - let your body be free



C'mon everybody, yeah, this is your life

I'm talking about a revolution we gotta organize

We don't need no segregation, we don't need no race

New age revelation, I think we got a case



I'm OK as long as u are here with me

Sexuality is all we ever need



Reproduction of a new breed - Leaders, Stand Up, Organize

Reproduction of a new breed - Leaders, Stand Up, Organize

Reproduction of a new breed - Leaders, Stand Up, Organize

Everybody...

Reproduction of a new breed - Leaders, Stand Up, Organize

One time say...

Reproduction of a new breed - Leaders, Stand Up, Organize

Reproduction of a new breed - Leaders, Stand Up, Organize



We live in a world overrun by tourists

Tourists - 89 flowers on their back...inventors of the Accu-jack

They look at life through a pocket camera... What? No flash again?

They're all a bunch of double drags who teach their kids that Love is bad

Half of the staff of their brain is on vacation

Mama, are u listening?

We need a new breed - Leaders, Stand Up, Organize

Don't let your children watch television until they know how to read

Or else all they'll know how to do is cuss, fight and breed

No child is bad from the beginning... they only imitate their atmosphere

If they're in the company of tourists, alcohol and US history

What's to be expected is 3 minus 3... absolutely nothing



Stand Up, Organize

We need a new breed...Leaders, Stand Up, Organize

I wanna be in the new breed, Stand up, Organize

Sexuality is all I'll ever need

Sexuality, I'm gonna let my body be free

Sexuality is all I'll ever need

Sexuality, I'm gonna let my body be free

Sexuality

FAITH NO MORE lyrics - Epic

Can you feel it, see it, hear it today?

If you can't, then it doesn't matter anyway

You will never understand it cuz it happens too fast

And it feels so good, it's like walking on glass

It's so cool, it's so hip, it's alright

It's so groovy, it's outta sight

You can touch it, smell it, taste it so sweet

But it makes no difference cuz it knocks you off your feet

You want it all but you can't have it

It's cryin', bleedin', lying on the floor

So you lay down on it and you do it some more

You've got to share it, so you dare it

Then you bare it and you tear it

You want it all but you can't have it

It's in your face but you can't grab it

It's alive, afraid, a lie, a sin

It's magic, it's tragic, it's a loss, it's a win

It's dark, it's moist, it's a bitter pain

It's sad it happened and it's a shame

You want it all but you can't have it

It's in your face but you can't grab it

What is it?

It's it

What is it?...

BOB SEGER lyrics - Wait For Me

(Bob Seger)



I will answer the wind

I will leave with the tide

I'll be out on the road

Every chance I can ride



No matter how far

No matter how free

I'll be along

If you'll wait for me



There'll be times when I rise

There'll be times when I'll fall

There'll be times when it's best

To say nothing at all



Know when you're right

I'm letting it be

I'll be around

If you'll wait for me

If you'll wait for me



And I'll fight for the right to go over that hill

If it always means something to me

I will not be persuaded

I won't be still

I'll find a way to be free



In the cool of the night

In the heat of the day

If you're ever in doubt

I'll be on my way

Straight to your side



I guarantee

I'll be around

If you'll wait for me

If you'll wait for me

THE CLASH lyrics - Stay Free

(Strummer/Jones)



We met when we were in school

Never took no shit from no one, we weren't fools

The teacher says we're dumb

We're only having fun

We piss on everyone

In the classroom



When we got thrown out I left without much fuss

An' weekends we'd go dancing

Down streatham on the bus

You always made me laugh



Got me in bad fights

Play me pool all night

Smokin' menthol



I practised daily in my room

You were down the crown planning your next move

Go on a nicking spree

Hit the wrong guy

Each of you get three

Years in brixton



I did my very best to write

How was butlins?

Were the screws too tight?

When you lot get out

Were gonna hit the town

We'll burn it fuckin' down

To a cinder



Cos years have passed and things have changed

And I move anyway I wanna go

I'll never forget the feeling I got

When I heard that you'd got home

An' I'll never forget the smile on my face

'cos I knew where you would be

An' if you're in the crown tonight

Have a drink on me

But go easy...step lightly...stay free

UFO lyrics - Shoot Shoot

Was a fast tough woman loved to play the clown

You won't do nothin' about it

Break a good boy's resistance down

You know she's got a pistol

Laid it down for real

She said shoot, shoot, shoot it boy

You gotta shoot it for me



Convinced me that she was worth it

Never knew I was her kill

And two 45's would do the trick and pay the bills



(1) You know she's got a pistol

Laid it down on me

And she said shoot, shoot, shoot it boy

You gotta shoot it for me



(2) I've really got to get a fast ride out of here

Gotta get a fast ride out of here

Gotta get a fast ride out of here

Gotta get a fast ride out of here now



Holing out in my hotel room police they finally come

And there's the prosecution, and my friends have palmed the gun



(1) Repeat

(2) Repeat

MARY CHAPIN CARPENTER lyrics - Alone But Not Lonely

(Mary Chapin Carpenter)



I haven't a reason, a clue or a sign

I haven't the slightest idea

Of the shape of your heart or the state of your mind

Do you ever let anyone near

Do you ever reach out with arms open wide

Do you ever jump in closing your eyes

Or are you one of the fortunate kind

Alone but not lonely



Everyday on the street I study their faces

The ones who rush on through the crowd

Towards their own quiet worlds, their separate places

Somewhere I'm never allowed

'Cause I've always been one to say what I need

And than the next thing it's done and I'm watching 'em leave

And I'm thinking, I wish I could be

Alone but not lonely



So which one are you tonight

Do you change with the morning light

Do you say more than what sounds right

Do you say what you mean?



There are moments in time that are meant to be held

Like fragile, breakable things

There are others that pass us, you can't even tell

Such is their grace and their speed

And this one is gone in the blink of an eye

You can ask me the truth but tonight I will lie

Unflinching I'll tell you that I'm alone but not lonely

ALPHAVILLE lyrics - Nostradamus

(Lyrics: M. Michel Nostredame / Music: Gold-Bloss)



Estant assis de nuict secret estude

Seul repose sur la selle d'aerain:

Flambe exigue sortant de sollitude

Fait prosperer qui n'est a croire vain

La verge en main mise au milieu de branches

De l'onde il moulle & le limbe & le pied:

Un peur & voix fremissent par les manches:

Splendeur divine. Le divin pres s'assied

Le regne humain d'Angelique geniture

Fera son regne paix union tenir:

Captive guerre demy de sa closture

Long temps la paix leur fera maintenir

En la frontiere de caussade & Charlus

Non guieres loing du fond de la vallee

De ville franche musique a son de luths

Environnez combouls & grand mittee

Avant long temps le tout sera range

Nous esperons un siecle bien senestre:

L'estat des masques & des seuls bien change

Peu trouveront qu'a son rang vueille estre

Le prochain fils de l'aisnier parviendra

Tant esleve iusqu'au regne des fors:

Son aspre gloire un chacun la craindra

Mais ses enfans du regne gettez hors

Le regne humain d'angelique geniture

BILLY JOEL lyrics - Big Man On Mulberry Street

Why can't I lay low

Why can't I say what I mean

Why don't I stay home

And get myself into some boring routine



Why can't I calm down

Why is it always a fight

I can't get unwound

Why do I throw myself into the night



I'm on the outside

I don't fit into the groove

Now I ain't a bad guy

So tell me what am I trying to prove



Why can't I cool out

Why don't I button my lip

Why do I lash out

Why is it I always shoot from the hip



I cruise from Houston to canal street

A misfit and a rebel

I see the winds talking to themselves

And I can understand

Why is it everytime I go out

I always seem to get in trouble

I guess I made an impression on somebody

North of hester and south of grand



And so in my small way

I'm a big man on Mulberry street

I don't mean all day

Only at night when I'm light on my feet



What else have I got

That I'd be trying to hide

Maybe a blind spot

I haven't seen from the sensitive side



But you know in my own heart

I'm a big man on Mulberry street

I play the whole part

I leave a big tip with every receipt



I'm so romantic

I'm such a passionate man

Sometimes I panic

What if nobody finds out who I am

ELVIS PRESLEY lyrics - Run On

(Traditional - arranged by Elvis Presley)



Well you may run on for a long time

Run on for a long time,

Run on for a long time

Let me tell you God almighty gonna cut you down



Go tell that long tongued liar, oh well well

Go tell that midnight rider, oh well well

Tell the gambler, rambler, back-biter

Tell them God almighty gonna cut them down



Stop God almighty let me tell you the news

My head's been wet with the midnight dews

Coming down on my bended knees

Talking to the man from Galilee

My God spoke and he spoke so sweet

I thought I heard the shuffle of angel's feet

He put one hand upon my head

Great God almighty let me tell you what he said



Go tell that long tongued liar, oh well well

Go tell that midnight rider, oh well well

Tell the gambler, rambler, back-biter

Tell them God almighty gonna cut them down



Run on for a long time,

Run on for a long time,

Let me tell you God almighty gonna cut you down



You may throw your rock and hide your hand

Working in the dark against your fellow man

As sure as God made the day and the night

What you do in the dark will be brought to the light

You may run and hide, slip and slide

Trying to take the mote from your neighbour's eyes

As sure as God made the rich and poor

You gonna reap just what you sow



Run on for a long time,

Run on for a long time

Let me tell you God almighty gonna cut you down

Go tell that long tongued liar, oh well well

Go tell that midnight rider, oh well well

Tell the gambler, rambler, back-biter

Tell them God almighty gonna cut them down



Some people go to church just to sit in the fire

Trying to make a date with the neighbour's wife

Brother let me tell you as sure as you're born

You better leave that woman alone

Because one of these days mark my word

You think that brother is going to work

And you'll sneak up and knock on that door

That's all brother you'll knock no more



Run on for a long time,

Run on for a long time

Let me tell you God almighty gonna cut you down

Go tell that long tongued liar, oh well well

Go tell that midnight rider, oh well well

Tell the gambler, rambler, back-biter

Tell them God almighty gonna cut them down

CYNDI LAUPER lyrics - Can't Blame Me

(Cyndi Lauper, John Turi)



Baby I want the

Love you been savin'

Tell me the truth

Boy why you been waitin'

Oh, oh, oh, oh can't blame me



We could be sweethearts

We could be never

Did you forget

I love you forever

Oh, oh, oh, oh can't blame me



I can see by now

You don't want to know

Can't blame me if I love you so



I'll be your dancer

A silky eyed lady

Dreamin' of moonlight

Hopin' that maybe

Oh, oh, oh, oh can't blame me



We could be sweethearts...

NEIL YOUNG lyrics - When It Falls, It Falls All Over You

Selling papers on the corner,

I saw a man yesterday.

I asked him if he'd wanna

Tell me what made him this way.

He said, when it's born, it's warm,

Then it gathers strength in lies,

When it falls, it falls all over you.



He used to pick his friends.

They left him in the end.

An easy thing to lose,

The right to pick and choose.

When it's born, it's warm,

Then it gathers strength in lies,

When it falls, it falls all over you.



He said he left his wife,

The back-bone of his life.

Another came along,

But now I guess she's gone.

When it's born, it's warm,

Then it gathers strength in lies,

When it falls, it falls all over you.



I think I used to see

That old man on TV,

Can you be the same?

It seems like such a shame.

When it's born, it's warm,

Then it gathers strength in lies,

When it falls, it falls all over you.



The world he thought he knew,

Has better things to do.

As I went on my way

I thought I heard him say:

When it's born, it's warm,

Then it gathers strength in lies,

When it falls, it falls all over you.

PHIL COLLINS lyrics - Standing In The Shadows Of Love

[Originally by The Four Tops]



Standing in the shadows of love

I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come

Can't you see me standing in the shadows of love

I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come



I wanna run but there's no way to go

'Cause heartaches will follow me I know

Without your love, a love I need

It's the beginning of the end for me



'Cuz you've taken away all of my reasons for living

When you pushed aside all the love I've been giving

Now wait a minute



Didn't I treat you right, now baby didn't I

Didn't I do the best I could, now didn't I, didn't I?



So don't you leave me standing in the shadows of love

I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come

Don't you see me standing in the shadows of love

Trying the best to get ready for the heartaches to come



All alone I'm destined to be

With misery my only company

It may come today, and it might come tomorrow

But it's for sure I've ain't got nothing but sorrow



Now won't your conscience kinda bother you

How can you watch me cry after all I've done for you?

Now hold on a minute



Gave you all the love I had, now didn't I

When you needed me I was always there, now wasn't I



Standing in the shadows of love

Getting ready for the heartaches to come

I'm trying not to cry out loud

You know cryin', it ain't gonna help me none



What did I do to cause all this grief?

Now what did I say to make you wanna leave?

Now wait a minute



I gave my heart and soul to you now didn't I

And didn't I always treat you good now didn't I



I'm standing in the shadows of love

I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come

Don't you see me standing in the shadows of love

Trying the best to get ready for the heartaches to come



Oh, I'm standing in the shadows of love

BUDDY HOLLY lyrics - Peggy Sue

If you knew Peggy Sue

Then you'd know why I feel blue

About Peggy, 'bout Peggy Sue

Oh well, I love you, gal

Yes, I love you Peggy Sue



Peggy Sue, Peggy Sue

Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, Peggy Sue

Oh, my Peggy, my Peggy Sue

Oh, well, I love you gal

And I need you, Peggy Sue



I love you Peggy Sue

With a love so rare and true

Oh, Peggy, my Peggy Sue

Oh, well, I love you gal

Yes, I want you, Peggy Sue



Peggy Sue, Peggy Sue

Oh how my heart years for you

Oh, Pa-he-ggy, my Pa-he-ggy Sue

Oh, well, I love you gal

And I need you, Peggy Sue

Oh, well, I love you gal

Yes, I want you, Peggy Sue

JIMMY REED lyrics - I Ain't Got You

(Clarence Carter)



I got a Eldorado Cadillac

Wit's a spare tire on the back

I got the charge account at Goldblatt

But I ain't got you



I got a tavern and a package store

Don't matter where I go

You keep the ring in my nose

But I ain't got you



I got a tavern an'a package store

I hit the numbers, four-forty four

I got a mojo and don't you know?

I'm all dressed up, no place to go



I got a-women to the right of me

I got a-women to the left of me

I got a-womens all around me

But I ain't got you



I got a-women on the right of me

I got a-women to the left of me

I got a-women all around me

But I ain't got you

But I ain't got you

But I ain't got you

But I ain't got you

VAN MORRISON lyrics - Everyone

We shall walk again down along the lane

Down the avenue just like we used to do

With our heads so high smile at the passers by

Then we'll softly sigh ay, ay, ay, ay, ay



[Chorus:]

Everyone, everyone, everyone, everyone

Everyone, everyone, everyone, everyone



By the winding stream we shall lie and dream

We'll make dreams come true if we want them to

Yes all will come play the pipes and drum

Sing a happy song and we'll sing along



[Chorus]



[Repeat 1st Verse]

NANCI GRIFFITH lyrics - Summer Wages

(Ian Tyson)



Never hit seventeen

When you play against the dealer

You know that the odds

Won't ride with you

And never leave your woman alone

With your friends around to steal her

She'll he gambled and gone

Like summer wages



And we'll keep rollin' on

'til we get to Vancouver

And the woman that I love

She's living there

It's been six long months

And more since I've seen her

Years have gambled and gone

Like summer wages



[Chorus:]

In all the beer parlors

All down along Main Street

The dreams of the seasons

Get all spilled down on the floor

All the big stands of timber

Just waiting for the falling

And the hookers standing watchfully

Waiting by the door



So I'll work on the towboats

With my slippery city shoes

Which lord I swore I would never do again

Through the gray fog-bound straits

Where the cedars stand watching

I'll be far off and gone

Like summer wages



[Chorus]



Never hit seventeen

When you play against the dealer

You know that the odds

Won't ride with you

And never leave your woman alone

With your friends around to steal her

She'll be gambled and gone

Like summer wages



And the years are gambled and lost

Like summer wages

THE KINKS lyrics - Flash's Dream (The Final Elbow)

[Scene:] Mr. Black's army is closing in on Flash & The Spivs.

After a long day's campaigning Flash, having overindulged

The alcohol, has fallen asleep in his den.



Voice: Cooee. Cooee. Flash. Flash



[Flash:] Who is this?



Voice: Wake up Flash. Can you hear me Flash?



[Flash:] Who is this? Who dares to wake me from my slumber?



Voice: Need I announce myself? Am I such a stranger to you?



[Flash:] Say your name. Speak!



Voice: I am your soul.



[Flash:] My soul?



Voice: I have come to show you who you are.



[Flash:] Show me who I am? I know who I am you upstart! How

Dare you intrude.



Voice: You lied and schemed and took over a simple village and

Turned it into a vulgar playground for your own money-

Making ends. Before you came people lived simple lives.

This was a happy place. Then you ploughed up the fields,

Sold off the land and lined your own pockets with the profits.



[Flash:] Lies! Lies! I did it to help the nation



Voice: You did it for your own preservation!



[Flash:] No! No!



Voice: Prepare yourself Flash, there are many who suffered at your

Hands. They are craving for vengeance. Time is running out.



[Flash:] Can this be the end? Can this be the swan song? The final

Elbow? I will not go. The people need me.



Voice: Men like you will always come and go, but the people will go

On forever. Take one final look at the past Flash. Enjoy it,

Because you have no future.



[Flash:] No! No! No! I can't stand this.



Trumpets herald the final confrontation between Flash and himself.

ASIA lyrics - Awake

(Downes/Payne)



[Adapted from "The Rubaiyat" of Omar Khayyam]



"The dawning of a brand new day

The waking of the whispers say:

That sleeping heavens will return

In deepest night the secret learned

And from these walls this city lies

The past will be our future

The journey will be over,

Awake!"



I saw the writing on the wall

The story of our birth then fall

Within their tombs of holy stone

The scrolls of life, one man alone

So if we try, we can live and learn

The sands will pull you under

Don't let them pull you under

Awake!



I travelled to a foreign land

Through stormy seas and burning sand

Led by the stars the ancient stream

The call of treasures yet unseen

So if we climb to the rocks of kings

Together we'll discover

The source of all our wonder

Awake!



Someday we're going to go back to the stars

And find the answer, who we really are

A traveller through the lonely mists of time

Creation from the sky



The dawning of a brand new day

The waking of the whispers say:

That sleeping heavens will return

In deepest night the secret learned

From these walls this city lies

The past will be our future

The journey will be over

Awake!



Someday we're going to go back to the stars

And find the answer who we really are

A traveller through the lonely mists of time

Creation from the sky



Someday we're going to back to the stars

And find the answer who we really are

If we try, we can live and learn

Together we'll discover

The source of all our wonder

Awake!



We saw the writing

We read the story

Awake!

HARRY CONNICK, JR. lyrics - Buried In Blue

The sun sets red with rage

White clouds float by

Like high cotton

Blank as an empty page

Blue is a color buried

Not forgotten



Sweet as mother's milk

And clear as the wind

Wrap the dead in a pleat of silk

Blue is the color to be buried in



When you left

Leaving nothing behind

There's no one to blame

No criminal, no crime

You can report a missing person

But not a stolen heart

And I'm missing a person

To whom stealing was an art



The painting's complete

The brush strokes dry

I hear a band playing

A bent note or two

I guess someone died

And just wants to be

Buried in blue

URIAH HEEP lyrics - Feels Like

(Box/Lanzon)



I can feel your sadness

From what I said to you

I'm drinking my forgiveness

So restless and confused

I don't know what I see

But it looks a lot like love

Showing me something

Deeper then deep in my soul



And it makes me feel like

I'm at the point of no return - feels like

I'm at the point

It makes me feel like

I'm at the point of no return - feels like

I'm at the point



I was drifting through the days

With nowhere else to turn

I finally discovered

How much I have to learn

I shouldn't be afraid

For you to bring my love

Taking me somewhere

Deeper than deep in my soul



This time my heart will lead the way

To win the game you'got to play



You love me like a lover

I see it in your face

No need to think it over

No need to run the race

I don't know if you planned it

But you're driving me insane

Telling me something

Over and over again

KRIS KRISTOFFERSON lyrics - The Show Goes On

We used to talk about the Rock and the Roll

That made it matter not to sell your soul

Like a banner that we held so high

We weren't afraid to fall

Steady rolling through the warning signs

That were hidden in between the lines

That kept us rocking 'til the break of day

Or any break at all



We used to take about a day and a night

To try to sing up all the soul in sight

And anyone who couldn't see the light

We had to leave behind

And the sweetest thing you ever heard

Was the singing of the Speckled Bird

And commercial was a dirty word

We laid it on the line



It was all so easy then

We could do no wrong

We'll never be the same again

But the show goes on



We used to drink about a bucket of booze

To try to chase away the black and blues

And when it came the time to pay your dues

You gave an IOU

To the devil with the dirty smile

Which he added to the growing pile

Of the promises you mean to keep

The day your dreams come true



It was all so easy then

We could do no wrong

We'll never be the same again

But the show goes on

JOE COCKER lyrics - The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress

See her as she flies

Golden sails across the skies

Close enough to touch

But careful if you try

Though she looks as warm as gold

The moon's a harsh mistress

The moon can be so cold



Once the sun did shine

And Lord it felt so fine

The moon a phantom rose

Through the mountains and the pine

And then the darkness fell

The moon's a harsh mistress

It's hard to love her well



I fell out of her eyes

I fell out of her heart

I fell down on my face, yes I did

And I tripped and I missed my star

And I fell and fell alone

The moon's a harsh mistress

The sky is made of stone



The moon's a harsh mistress

She's hard to call your own

BLIND FAITH lyrics - Presence Of The Lord

(Eric Clapton)



I have finally found a way to live

Just like I never could before.

I know that I don't have much to give,

But I can open any door.



Everybody knows the secret,

Everybody knows the score.

I have finally found a way to live

In the color of the Lord.



I have finally found a place to live

Just like I never could before.

And I know I don't have much to give,

But soon I'll open any door.



Everybody knows the secret,

Everybody knows the score.

I have finally found a place to live

In the presence of the Lord.

In the presence of the Lord.



I have finally found a way to live

Just like I never could before.

And I know I don't have much to give,

But I can open any door.



Everybody knows the secret,

I said everybody knows the score.

I have finally found a way to live

In the color of the Lord.

In the color of the Lord.

NEIL DIAMOND lyrics - Smokey Lady

Smokey Lady

Spend your time

Makin' full grown men a full grown baby

Move on, move on,

Move on, move on, move on

But I'm just settlin'

'Cause I've been gettin' what I ain't had lately

Smokey Lady, what you do to me



Got me goin'

Night time women

Half not carin', half not knowin'

Come on, come on,

Come on, come on, come on

Have a good time flyin', half die tryin'

Come on and take me Smokey Lady,

See what you can see



Smokey Lady run before me,

Run behind me

Where you're goin'

Come on, come on,

Come on, come on, come on

Have good time flyin', half die tryin'

Come on and take me Smokey Lady,

See what you can see



Smokey Lady

Smokey Lady

QUEENSRYCHE lyrics - The Needle Lies

[Spoken:]

[Nikki:] "I've had enough and I WANT OUT!"

[Dr. X:] "You can't walk away now."



I looked back once

And all I saw was his face

Smiling, the needle crying

Walking out of his room

With mirrors, afraid I heard him scream

You'll never get away



Cold and shaking

I crawled down alleys to try

And scrape away the tracks that marked me

Slammed my face into walls of concrete

I stared, amazed at the words written on the wall



Don't ever trust

Don't ever trust the needle, it lies

Don't ever trust

Don't ever trust the needle when it cries...

Cries your name



Wet and raving

The needle keeps calling me back

To bloody my hands forever

Carved my cure with the blade

That left me in scars

Now every time I'm weak

Words scream from my arm



Don't ever trust

Don't ever trust the needle, it lies

Don't ever trust

Don't ever trust the needle when it cries...

Cries your name

Don't ever trust

Don't ever trust the needle, it lies

Don't ever trust

Don't ever trust the needle when it cries...

Cries your name

DAVID BOWIE lyrics - Cat People (Putting Out The Fire)

See these eyes so green

I can stare for a thousand years

Colder than the moon

It's been so long

And I've been putting out fire

With gasoline



Feel my blood enraged

It's just the fear of losing you

Don't you know my name

Well, you been so long



See these eyes so red

Red like jungle burning bright

Those who feel me near

Pull the blinds and change their minds

It's been so long



Still this pulsing night

A plague I call a heartbeat

Just be still with me

Ya wouldn't believe what I've been thru

You've been so long

Well it's been so long

And I've been putting out fire

with gasoline

putting out fire

with gasoline



See these tears so blue

An ageless heart

that can never mend

These tears can never dry

A judgement made

can never bend

See these eyes so green

I can stare for a thousand years

Just be still with me

You wouldn't believe what I've been thru



You've been so long

Well, it's been so long

And I've been putting out fire

with gasoline

putting out fire with gasoline

CAMEL lyrics - Mother Road

You've made your decision to leave

there's no turning 'round.

Now that you've got a reprieve,

you must stand your ground.

Some of the others are weak,

so you must be strong

$155 won't last very long...



Ma, will we make out,

do you think that this old car

will last?

Pa, is there some doubt,

if our bad luck will

stay in the past?



Well I'm hoping it's so,

but you can't really know til the end.

They tell me that all things must change

but they begin again.

Listen to the motor and the road

and how does it feel?

Listen with your ears and your hands

on the steering wheel.



Ma, will we make out,

do you think that this old car will last?

Pa, is there some doubt,

if our bad luck will stay in the past?



Listen now boys,

what your ma has told you

there is no way we can tell...

We've got to face this road together

and have some faith

in ourselves.



Ma, will we make out,

do you think that this old car will last?

Pa, is there some doubt,

if our bad luck will

stay in the past?



Ma,

Will we make out...?

THE BYRDS lyrics - So Fine

(Otis)



So fine, so fine

So fine yeah, my baby's so doggone fine

She sends cold chills up and down my spine

Oh oh, yeah yeah, so fine

Well I know that she loves me so

Well I know because my baby tells me so

She sends cold chills up and down my spine

SHANE MACGOWAN AND THE POPES lyrics - Donegal Express

Who dares to speak of Donegal

You get kicks in the bars and kicks in the balls

The harp that played in Tara's halls

Is burning on the dump

Virginia is a gin town

Belturbot is a sin town

And all the boys from Skintown

Are in England on the lump

Got pissed in Letterkenny

With darlin' sportin' Jenny

Spent me very last penny

And we made it in the press

The husband caught me in the bed

Tried to shoot me in the head

Had to swim the stream to get

The Donegal Express



Kahaya! You fuck!

Come Hell of high water

I might have fucked your Missus

But I never fucked your daughter

Fol-diddle-dee-ahhh

Fol-diddle-dee-ahhh

Fol-diddle-dee-ahhh

Fol-diddle-dee-ahhh



As sure as I'm Father Emmett

I've a King Dong down me Semmett

As any girl will tell you

From Cavan down to Clare

Back in sweet Virginia

In the toilet with Lavinia

I nearly fucked her brains out

And tore her party dress

A shit, a shave, a shower

And half a pint of powers

Then off again to get on board

The Donegal Express



Kahaya! You fuck!

Come Hell of high water

I might have fucked your Missus

But I never fucked your daughter

Fol-diddle-dee-ahhh

Fol-diddle-dee-ahhh

Fol-diddle-dee-ahhh

Fol-diddle-dee-ahhh



Kahaya! You fuck!

Come Hell of high water

I might have fucked your Missus

But I never fucked your daughter

Fol-diddle-dee-ahhh

Fol-diddle-dee-ahhh

Fol-diddle-dee-ahhh

Fol-diddle-dee-ahhh

RAY CHARLES lyrics - Winter Wonderland

Sleigh bells ring, are you listenin'

In the lane, snow is glistening

A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight

Walking in a Winter Wonderland

Gone away is the blue bird

In his place is the new bird

He's singing our song, as we go along

Walking in a Winter Wonderland



In the meadow we can build a snowman

Then pretend that he is Parson Brown

He'll say "Are you married?", We'll say "No man,

But you can do the job when you're in town."



Later on, we'll conspire

As we dream by the fire

To face unafraid, the plans that we made

Walking in a Winter Wonderland



In the meadow we can build a snowman

And pretend that he's a circus clown

We'll have lots of fun with Mr. Snowman

Until the other kiddies knock him down



When it snows, ain't it thrillin'

Though you know, kids are chillin'

We'll frolick & play, the Eskimo way

Walking in a Winter Wonderland (wo oh oh...)



[Repeat last line to fade]

RANDY NEWMAN lyrics - Great Nations Of Europe

The Great Nations of Europe

Had gathered on the shore

They'd conquered what was behind them

And now they wanted more

So they looked to the mighty ocean

And took to the western sea

The great nations of Europe in the sixteenth century



Hide your wives and daughters

Hide the groceries too

Great nations of Europe coming through



The Grand Canary Islands

First land to which they came

They slaughtered all the canaries

Which gave the land its name

There were natives there called Guanches

Guanches by the score

Bullets, disease, the Portugese, and they weren't there anymore

Now they're gone, they're gone, they're really gone

You've never seen anyone so gone

They're a picture in a museum

Some lines written in a book

But you won't find a live one no matter where you look



Hide your wives and daughters

Hide the groceries too

Great nations of Europe coming through



Columbus sailed for India

Found Salvador instead

He shook hands with some Indians and soon they all were dead

They got TB and typhoid and athlete's foot

Diptheria and the flu

Excuse me - Great nations coming through



Balboa found the pacific

And on the trail one day

He met some friendly Indians

Whom he was told were gay

So he had them torn apart by dogs on religious grounds they say

The great nations of Europe were quite holy in their way



Now they're gone, they're gone, they're really gone

You've never seen anyone so gone

Some bones hidden in a canyon

Some paintings in a cave

There's no use trying to save them

There's nothing left to save



Hide your wives and daughters

Hide your sons as well

With the great nations of Europe you never can tell



From where you and I are standing

At the end of a century

Europes have sprung up everyone as even I can see

But there on the horizon as a possiblity

Some bug from out of Africa might come for you and me

Destroying everything in its path

From sea to shining sea

Like the great nations of Europe

In the sixteenth century

ALISON KRAUSS lyrics - Baby, Now That I've Found You

(John MacLeod & Tony Macaulay)



Baby, now that I've found you

I won't let you go

I build my world around you

I need you so, baby even though

You don't need me now



Baby, now that I've found you

I won't let you go

I build my world around you

I need you so, baby even though

You don't need me now



Baby, baby, when first we met

I knew in this heart of mine

That you were someone I couldn't forget

I said right and abide my time



I spent my life looking for somebody

To make me feel like you

Now you tell me that you want to leave me

But darling, I just can't let you



Baby, baby, when first we met

I knew in this heart of mine

That you were someone I couldn't forget

I said right and abide my time



I spent my life looking for somebody

To make me feel like you

Now you tell me that you want to leave me

But darling, I just can't let you



Now that I found you

I build my world around you

I need you so, baby even though

You don't need me now



Baby, now that I've found you

I won't let you go

I build my world around you

I need you so, baby even though

You don't need me, you don't need me no, no

PINK FLOYD lyrics - Your Possible Pasts

they flutter behind you your possible pasts

some brighteyed and crazy some frightened and lost

a warning to anyone still in command

of their possible future to take care

in derilict sidings the poppies entwine

with cattle trucks lying in wait for the next time

do you remember me? how we used to be?

do you thing we should be closer?

she stood in the doorway the ghost of a smile

haunting her face like a cheap hotel sign

her cold eyes imploring the men in their macs

for the gold in their bags or the knives in their backs

stepping up boldly one put out his hand

he said, "i was just a child then now i'm only a man"

do you remember me? how we used to be?

do you thing we should be closer?

by the cold and religious we were taken in hand

shown how to feel good and told to feel bad

tongue tied and terrified we learned how to pray

now our feelings run deep and cold as the clay

and strung out behind us the banners and flags

of our possible pasts lie in tatters and rags

do you remember me? how we used to be?

do you thing we should be closer?
