KMFDM lyrics - Every Day's A Good Day

(Lucia Cifarelli, Sascha Konietzko, Jules Hodgson, Andy Selway, Steve White)



The biggest mistake was to let you near me

I'm speaking to you but you won't ever hear me

Close to the touch but aeons away

On a distant planet on another day



I thought we were even I hoped it was cool

Your guilty pleasures made you a fool

I extended it all but you turned it to dreck

You keep trashing my name and stabbing my back



I shall not be terrorized

You will pay for all those lies



And every day's a good day to die

Fucka, fucka, die, mutha fucka, bye-bye



A spewing volcano of distortion and hate

You plead and beg me to spare your fate

You evoke our friendship and the days of old

But I know a dish that's best served cold



The gleaming blade a muffled cry

You won't live to testify



I gave you it all

I let you perform

You sowed the wind now you'll reap the storm

In the coldest blood steady-handed

I take no prisoners the eagle has landed



IDIOT!

BARBRA STREISAND lyrics - Second Hand Rose (From Barbra And Other Musical Instruments)

Every one knows

I'm second hand Rose

From Second Avenue

I got rhythm, I got rhythm, I got rhythm

I got rhythm, I got rhythm, I got rhythm

I got rhythm, oh... oh...

CARLY SIMON lyrics - Not A Day Goes By

(Stephen Sondheim)



Not a day goes by

Not a single day

But you're somewhere a part of my life

And it looks like you'll stay

As the days go by

I keep thinking when does it end

Where's the day I'll have started forgetting

But I just go on thinking and sweating



And cursing and crying

And turning and reaching

And waking and dying

And no, not a day goes by

Not a blessed day

But you're still somehow part of my life

And you won't go away

So there's hell to pay

And until I die

I'll die day after day after day

After day

After day after day after day

Til the days go by

Til the days go by

Til the days go by

BARRY MANILOW lyrics - Early Morning Strangers

Every mornin' many late night lovers

Wake up to become early mornin' strangers

Things always look different in the light of day

Every mornin' many late night lovers

Just silently stare, seein' all the changes

It's hard to make small talk

When there's nothin' to say



Early mornin' strangers

Lookin' at each other

That is all we are to one another

Early mornin' strangers

Who wake up to discover

It's just no good without love

To live without love is no life at all

Somewhere baby

There's got to be more



Somewhere baby there's a life worth livin'

Where nobody takes more than they are givin'

Where love is forever

Not just for a day



Early mornin' strangers

Lookin' at each other

That is all we are to one another

Early mornin' strangers

Who wake up to discover

It's just no good without love

To live without love is no life at all



Bye bye baby

I hope you find your love

And I hope I find mine

I hope you find your love

And I hope I find mine

BEE GEES lyrics - Country Lanes

So warm is my morning sun, red is my rainbow

Soft is the cool summer breeze when I saw your face

I saw the light in your eyes so dark and demanding

Like a light in the storm



Whenever I cry my friend

You're always away and so I pretend

If I could live the dreams that I see

Long live my love



Walking in country (country) lanes (country lanes)

I'll never belong to someone again

Living my whole life through

Long live my love for you



My life has meaning now, I am a window

And all things seem clear to me now

Like a light in the storm



Whenever I cry my friend

You're always away and so I pretend

If I could live the dreams that I see

Long live my love



Walking in country (country) lanes (country lanes)

I'll never belong to someone again

Living my whole life through

Long live my love



Walking in country (country) lanes (country lanes)

I'll never belong to someone again

Living my whole life through

Long live my love for you

CELINE DION lyrics - Autour De Moi

(Eddy Marnay)



[Around Me]



Je reste dans un tout petit village

Pres d'un grand fleuve merveilleux

Une vieille maison qui n'a pas d'age

Autour de moi que des gens heureux



(I'm living in a very small village

Near a huge and marvelous river

An old house that doesn't have any age

Around me only happy people)



Des le matin a mon reveil

Mon coeur est plein plein de chansons

Je tourne en rond comme une abeille

Je ris et pleure sans raison



(From the morning at my wake up

My heart is full full of songs

I'm turning around like a bee

I'm laughing and crying with no reason)



Moi j'ai besoin de terre et de soleil

D'un peu de pluie comme une fleur

Toutes les saisons pour moi sont pareilles

Ma vie s'ecoule tout en douceur



(Me I need soil and sun

A bit of rain like the flowers

All the seasons are alike for me

My live slowly goes by)



Des le matin a mon reveil

Mon coeur est plein plein de chansons

Je tourne en rond comme une abeille

Je ris et pleure sans raison



(From the morning at my wake up

My heart is full full of songs

I'm turning around like a bee

I'm laughing and crying with no reason)



Je vis dans un tourbillon de reves

On me regarde sans rien comprendre

Moi je vais tous les jours aux maneges

Je vais et viens et recommence



(I'm living in a whirlwind of dreams

They look at me without understanding a thing

Me I'm going everyday in the merry-go-rounds

I come and go and do it again)



Des le matin a mon reveil

Mon coeur est plein plein de chansons

Je tourne en rond comme une abeille

Je ris et pleure sans raison Je ris et pleure sans raison



(From the morning at my wake up

My heart is full full of songs

I'm turning around like a bee

I'm laughing and crying with no reason

I'm laughing and crying with no reason)

THE DOORS lyrics - Not To Touch The Earth

Not to touch the earth

Not to see the sun

Nothing left to do, but

Run, run, run

Let's run

Let's run



House upon the hill

Moon is lying still

Shadows of the trees

Witnessing the wild breeze

C'mon baby run with me

Let's run



Run with me

Run with me

Run with me

Let's run



The mansion is warm, at the top of the hill

Rich are the rooms and the comforts there

Red are the arms of luxuriant chairs

And you won't know a thing till you get inside



Dead president's corpse in the driver's car

The engine runs on glue and tar

Come on along, not goin' very far

To the East to meet the Czar



Run with me

Run with me

Run with me

Let's run



Whoa!



Some outlaws lived by the side of a lake

The minister's daughter's in love with the snake

Who lives in a well by the side of the road

Wake up, girl, we're almost home



Ya, c'mon!



We should see the gates by mornin'

We should be inside the evenin'



Sun, sun, sun

Burn, burn, burn

Soon, soon, soon

Moon, moon, moon

I will get you

Soon!

Soon!

Soon!



I am the Lizard King

I can do anything

ELTON JOHN lyrics - Captain Fantastic And The Brown Dirt Cowboy

Captain Fantastic raised and regimented, hardly a hero

Just someone his mother might know

Very clearly a case for corn flakes and classics

"Two teas both with sugar please"

In the back of an alley



While little Dirt Cowboys turned brown in their saddles

Sweet chocolate biscuits and red rosy apples in summer

For it's hay make and "Hey mom, do the papers say anything good.

Are there chances in life for little Dirt Cowboys

Should I make my way out of my home in the woods"



Brown Dirt Cowboy, still green and growing

City slick Captain

Fantastic the feedback

The honey the hive could be holding

For there's weak winged young sparrows that starve in the winter

Broken young children on the wheels of the winners

And the sixty-eight summer festival wallflowers are thinning



For cheap easy meals and hardly a home on the range

Too hot for the band with a desperate desire for change

We've thrown in the towel too many times

Out for the count and when we're down

Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy

From the end of the world to your town



And all this talk of Jesus coming back to see us

Couldn't fool us

For we were spinning out our lines walking on the wire

Hand in hand went music and the rhyme

The Captain and the Kid stepping in the ring

From here on sonny sonny sonny, it's a long and lonely climb

PAUL MCCARTNEY lyrics - All My Loving

(Lennon/McCartney)



Close your eyes and I'll kiss you

Tomorrow I'll miss you

Remember I'll always be true

And then while I'm away

I'll write home every day

And I'll send all my loving to you



I'll pretend that I'm kissing

The lips I am missing

And hope that my dreams will come true

And then while I'm away

I'll write home every day

And I'll send all my loving to you



All my loving I will send to you

All my loving, darling I'll be true



Close your eyes and I'll kiss you

Tomorrow I'll miss you

Remember I'll always be true

And then while I'm away

I'll write home every day

And I'll send all my loving to you



All my loving I will send to you

All my loving, darling I'll be true

All my loving, all my loving ooh

All my loving I will send to you

SUZI QUATRO lyrics - Klondyke Kate

(Quatro-Tuckey)



Well, it's a face.

She's a daughter wearing all the bracelets, too

And it's a place.

Ooo. Don't let her mama catch you

Won't cha have a taste of the bad side

You never knew good could be so cruel

And all the rest

Ooo. Don't let her mama catch you

She'll make the most of any man

You know those boys will take their life in their hands

For Klondyke Kate...Sweet Klondyke Kate



Klondyke Kate, you big moon-shine mama

You don't know what you do

Your hands are shakin. Your temper's breakin

And ya make a drink to cure your blues

Oh, it's the same old style. The same old story

She wants to wear her mama's shoes

She tried to teach you, but she never thought

To keep a close watch over you



Well, it's a face.

She's a daughter wearing all the bracelets, too

And it's a place.

Ooo. Don't let her mama catch you

Won't cha have a taste of the bad side

You never knew good could be so cruel

And all the rest

Ooo. Don't let her mama catch you

She'll make the most of any man

You know those boys will take their life in their hands

For Klondyke Kate...Sweet Klondyke Kate

TESLA lyrics - Did It For The Money

Down on the corner, walkin' the streets.

She smiles for ev'ryone she meets.

He's not a man, no, he's just another trick.

She'd do it all just to get that fix.

Did you do it for love?

Did you do it in the name of love?

No, it ain't love she's gonna find.

She's got just one thing on her mind:



Money. She did, she did it for the money.

All in the name of money.

All for the dirty green.



Cold in the city with the traffic slow.

He's got nobody, no place to call home.

Takin' hard earned money from a poor, helpless soul.

Didn't do it for love.

Didn't do it in the name of love.

No, it ain't love he's out to find.

He's got just one thing on his mind:



Money. He did, he did it for the money.

All in the name of money.

All for the dirty green.



[Bridge]

And the young girl, she gets down on her knees, she's there to please.

She wants her money.

And then the young man says, "Now, put your hands in the air.

Give me what I want, Give me what I need. Now don't you see?

All I want, all I want, all I want is your money, yeah. Give it to me!"



He's got the money, left the scene of the crime.

Not a clue would he leave behind.

One's bad misfortune make for another's eats.

And now the young girl's trick's his treat.



Money. He did, he did it for the money.

All in the name of money.

All for the dirty green.

For the money. He did it, did it for the money.

All in the name of money.

All for the dirty green.

URIAH HEEP lyrics - Feelings

(Hensley)



Feelings, empty feelings

Prayin', hopin', needin'

Just when I wanted to hold you

You're leavin', you're leavin'

Leavin', leavin'



When we meet

Every night in the bar

If I'm feelin' alright

We'll get high in your car

Then come morning

And you will be gone

You're my five-minute friend

And you've gotta move on



And you don't stop me

Thinkin' my feelings

And I'm hidin' the hurtin' inside

And I know how you

Set my heart reelin'

As I see it and swallow my pride



Well, either you don't give a damn

Or you don't even care to pretend

Or you won't spare a thought

Though you know

It must come to an end



And I've got those feelings...

LOBO lyrics - Would I Still Have You

(Kent "Lobo" LaVoie)



When I was young I had a dream

That I would meet someone like you

And we would have a happy home

If the world would leave us alone



So it came to pass it all came true

You needed me like I needed you

But the world kept moving on

And our life was changed by a song



Sometimes I wonder and I worry too

If I did not know how to sing

Would I still have you?

That's the time I wished

I'd never bought that first guitar

I'd be out somewhere in Oklahoma

Fixing cars

But maybe after my hard working

Day was through

I'd still have you



It's hard to have loving on your mind

With people lining up for it all the time

And the world I loved went floating by

How did I miss the hurt in your eyes

SIMPLE MINDS lyrics - Up On The Catwalk

Up on the catwalk, a big wheel is spinning

And Dollars to Deutchmarks, and pennies from heaven

And up on the catwalk, there's one hundred million

With letters from thousands that say ``Just who are you?''

There's one thousand names that can spring up in my mind

But you'd call it blackmail and that's just not my kind

And up on the catwalk, up on the catwalk

And I don't know why



I will be there, I will be there, I will be there

I will be there, I will be there



Up on the catwalk there's street politicians

That crawl in from Broadway, say then who are you

And up on the catwalk there's one thousand postcards

From Montevideo, say that I'll be home soon

Get out of Bombay and go up to Brixton And look around, to see just what is missing

And up on the catwalk, girls call for mother And dream of their boyfriends

And I don't know why



I will be there, I will be there, I will be there

I will be there, I will be there

Tonight, under the crystal light, I'll tell you everything I need

Tonight, under the crystal light, surrender everything to me



Up on the catwalk, and you dress in waistcoats

And got brilliantino, and friends of Kim Philby

You float through the night time, like manna from heaven

But what, what do I know, and just what do I know

And up on the catwalk, in sweat that glistens

And I don't know why and I don't know why

I don't know why



I will be there, I will be there, I will be there

I will be there, I will be there

Tonight, under the crystal light, I'll tell you everything I need

Tonight, under the crystal light, surrender everything to me



Angel Angel Angel Angel

Ah huh Ah huh Ah huh Ah huh

One thousand names that spring up in my mind

One thousand names that spring up in my mind

Like Deodata, Michaelangelo, Robert de Niro, so many others

Natasia Kinski and Martin Luther - there's room for others, away from me



Up on the catwalk, up on the catwalk, up on the catwalk

I don't know why.

ZUCCHERO lyrics - Solo Una Sana E Consapevole Libidine Salva Il Giovane Dallo Stress E Dall'Azione Cattolica

(Zucchero)



Solo una sana e consapevole libidine

salva il giovane

dallo stress e dall'azione cattolica



Solo una sana e consapevole libidine

salva il giovane

dallo spot e dall'azione cattolica



Mi piacerebbe fare quello che non si puo

ma non dovresti dirmi

sempre si

perche per me la sposa

e una rosa

quello che e successo al sesso

non mi va...



Solo una sana e consapevole libidine

salva il giovane

dallo stress e dall'azione cattolica



Solo una sana e consapevole libidine

salva il giovane

dallo spot e dall'azione cattolica



Mi piacerebbe dirti

quello che non vuoi

I miss you I miss you I miss you

non cosi

ci sono nuove cose

da scoprire

con un po di fantasia e

d'immaginazione



E invece neghi, neghi e poi ci stai

Oh no io non volevo

Ecco vedi vedi che ci stai

Oh no non volevo, io non volevo



Solo una sana e consapevole libidine

salva il giovane

dallo stress e dall'azione cattolica



Solo una sana e consapevole libidine

salva il giovane

dallo spot e dall'azione cattolica

GOO GOO DOLLS lyrics - So Far Away

Why do you stare me down

Am I wrong

Should I turn and kiss the ground

And I never felt that way

I ain't the one and you know I don't come from such a place



And I didn't get those things

Things that you can't grow

You say that it's all my fault

And I don't need to know



Tell me something I don't know

And I'll find that I'm always looking 'round behind me

You said that it's all been said before

Now I find that there's something I don't know



And I hate your attitude

I ain't scared at all

Cause it don't matter what you do

And I'll turn around to see the truth

You're tearing it down, yeah, you're bringing it down

And it's all on you



And I didn't get those things

Things that you can't grow

You say that it's all my fault

And I don't need to know



Tell me something I don't know

And I find that I'm always looking round behind me

You said that it's all been said before

Now I find that there's something I don't know

If you break enough glass and there's no one to hear

And your heart's full of hate

Cause your mind's full of fear

Let it go...



So far away

RICHARD THOMPSON lyrics - Why Do You Turn Your Back?

(Richard Thompson)



When you were helpless, before you knew

He gave you shelter until you grew

He kept you secret, then he gave you a name

You drank from a river, you slept in the hay



You grew up running, into the wind

You grew up fighting a war you'd never win

Against a foe you'd never seen

Pretending to be what you'd never been



Why do you turn your back on your best friend?

Why do you turn your back on the one who loves you?

Why do you turn your back on your best friend?

The only one who ever really cared

The only one who ever really cared



When you were burning, the sky would pour

When you were drowning, he threw you ashore

He saved your life, o just to be

The one who turned back his enemy



And now you're like a bolted door

No-one can change the lock, your palace is secure

You're the king and the prisoner

But don't you hear the knocking at the door?



Why do you turn your back on your best friend?

Why do you turn your back on the one who loves you?

Why do you turn your back on your best friend?

The only one who ever really cared

The only one who ever really cared



And now you falter, afraid to live

And now you hold back, afraid to be the giver

And do you ever think

Of the friend who gave you gifts like a river?



Why do you turn your back on your best friend?

Why do you turn your back on the one who loves you?

Why do you turn your back on your best friend?

The only one who ever really cared

The only one who ever really cared

Why do you turn your back on your best friend?

JOY DIVISION lyrics - Autosuggestion

Here, here,

Everything is by design,

Everything is by design.



Here, here,

Everything is kept inside.

So take a chance and step outside,

Your hopes, your dreams, your paradise.

Heroes, idols, cracked like ice.



Here, here,

Everything is kept inside.

So take a chance and step outside.

Pure frustration face to face.

A point of view creates more waves,

So take a chance and step outside.



Take a chance and step outside.

Lose some sleep and say you tried.

Meet frustration face to face.

A point of view creates more waves.



So lose some sleep and say you tried.

So lose some sleep and say you tried...

BOBBY DARIN lyrics - More

More than the greatest love the world has known

This is the love that I give to you alone

More than the simple words I try to say

I only live to love you more each day.



More than you'll ever know

My arms long to hold you so

My life will be in your keeping

Waking, sleeping, laughing, weeping.



Longer than always is a long, long time

But far beyond forever, you'll be mine

I know I never lived before

And my heart is very sure

No one else could love you more.



More than the greatest love the world has known

This is the love that I give to you alone

More than the simple words I try to say

I only live to love you more each day.



More than you'll ever know

My arms got to hold you so

My life will be in your keeping

Waking, sleeping, laughing, weeping.



Longer than always is a long, long, long time

But far beyond forever, you'll be mine

I know I never lived before

And my heart is very sure

No one else could love you more.

PIXIES lyrics - Silver

In this land of strangers

There are dangers

There are sorrows

I can't see this lady

It is shady

I am leaving tomorrow

Tomorrow

Tomorrow



Even there's a reason

It's silver

It's gone

In this land of strangers

There are dangers

There are sorrows

Sorrows

Sorrows

Sorrows

LORETTA LYNN lyrics - I Won't Decorate Your Christmas Tree

(Loretta Lynn - Barbara Cummings)



Well I wrote to Santa just today I told him I don't plan to stay

Cause you've been bad yes you've been treatin' me wrong

So listen to me here's Christmas cheers because you won't be with me here

I won't decorate your Christmas tree this year

You can stay out there to toast and cheer with all of your friends

Don't hang on me a bein' here when you come back again

Your bags are burnt out and your fancy don't shine I just won't be a waitin' this time

I won't decorate your Christmas tree this year

[ guitar ]

Well I won't be here this Christmas Day I wouldn't give a present anyway

But have a good time and be concerned about me

I'm going back to my mom and dad they love me more than you ever had

I won't decorate your Christmas tree this year

You can stay out there...

No I won't decorate your Christmas tree this year

ROGER HODGSON lyrics - Desert Love

Did I tell you I need your love a little more each day

Did I tell you I'm feeling old since you went away

Did I tell you my love was cold like the desert night

Did I tell you my heart was dry like the desert sky



Oh, will you love me again?

Won't you help out a friend?

Will you love me again?

Did I tell you my lips were cold like the desert night

Did I tell you my heart was dry like the desert sky

If I need anyone to hold will you say you might



Oh, will you love me again?

Won't you help out a friend?

Will you love me again?

THE TEMPTATIONS lyrics - Silver Bells

City sidewalks, busy sidewalks, dressed in holiday style,

In the air there's a feeling of Christmas.

Children laughing, people passing, meeting smile after smile,

And on every street corner you hear



Silver bells, silver bells, it's Christmastime in the city.

Hear the bells go ding-a-ling, hear them ring,

Soon it will be Christmas day.

Strings of street lights, even stop lights blink a bright red and green

As the shoppers rush home with their treasures.

Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch, this is Santa's big scene,

And above all this bustle you hear



Silver bells, silver bells, it's Christmastime in the city.

Hear the bells go ding-a-ling, hear them ring,

Soon it will be Christmas day.

BERLIN lyrics - Too Far To Fall

(T. Nunn / K. Hyde / D. Brown)



Baby blue

Those eyes of yours disguise a world of lies

And I was one more soul to sell



I'm a fool

I fell into those eyes of blue and died

Now I lay between your Heaven and hell



My heart says one thing

And my body does another

My mind say you won't be home tonight



I know your love

Maybe you're too far to fall

I can't go on

Maybe you're too far to fall



In your hands

The woman in me feeling so alive

When we're playing out the secrets we share



Hard to stand

Imagining the passion in your wife

Then ashamed I lie here naked and scared



Your heart says one thing

And baby, nobody wants another

But my mind say I won't be home tonight



I know your love

Maybe you're too far to fall

I can't go on

Maybe you're too far to fall

I know, I know

You want me now, you want it all

I can't let go

Maybe you're too far to fall

MARLON JACKSON lyrics - To Get Away

(Marlon Jackson/Fred Maher)



Don't let nobody ever get you down

Don't let them play their games on you

I hope and pray that whenever I'm in town

I get to spend some time with you



You know it's true I love you

Always want to be next to you

You know I need you I need to have you by my side



Let's make some plans

It's true baby



Everytime I think of you

No more baby bothering days

Yest it's the perfect place

To be alone girl

Just you and I

How can we lose

What can I give you my love is here to stay

I'll change your grey skies to blue

I'll love you baby - whenever you say

Even if it's all night and day



You know it's true I love you

Always want to be next to you

You know I need you I need to have you by my side



Everytime I look at you

I got a get away

Where we can go girl

No more baby bothering days

Yest it's the perfect place

To be alone girl

Just you and I no more bothering days

Yes it's the perfect place to be alone girl

Just you and I how can we lose let's get away

I'm ready let's leave today

To get away girl just for one day

DEF LEPPARD lyrics - Drive-In Saturday

[Originally by David Bowie]



Let me put my arms

Around your head

Gee, it's hot, let's go to bed

Don't forget to turn on the light

Don't laugh babe, it'll be alright

Pour me out another phone

I'll ring and see

If your friends are home

Perhaps the strange ones in the dome

Can lend us a book we can read up alone



And try to get it on like once before

When people stared in Jagger's eyes

And scored

Like the video films we saw



[Chorus:]

His name was always Buddy

And he'd shrug and ask to stay

She'd sigh like Twig the Wonder Kid

And turn her face away

She's uncertain if she likes him

But she knows she really loves him

It's a crash course for the ravers

It's a Drive-in Saturday



Jung the foreman prayed at work

That neither hands nor limbs would burst

It's hard enough to keep formation

Amid this fall out saturation



Cursing at the Astronette 8

Who stands in steel

By his cabinet

He's crashing out with Sylvian

The Bureau Supply

For ageing men



With snorting head he gazes to the shore

Which once had raised a sea

That raged no more

Like the video films we saw



[Chorus]



It's a Drive-in Saturday [repeat]

MARK KNOPFLER lyrics - Let It All Go

When it's pop goes the weasel

Let go of the easel

You don't want

This rickety rackety life

It's seat of the trousers

It's all sink or swim, son

I'd kill to get crimson

On this palette knife

And I'd steal in a minute

I'm up to here in it

You here behaving

As though I'm a saint

Get a job with a pension

Don't ever mention

You once had a craving

For the brushes and paint



So go, forget it, let it all go

Let it all go

Go, forget it, let it all go

Go, forget it, let it all go

Let it all go

Go, forget it, let it all go

Let it all go



A hack writer judges

My swipes and my smudges

He doesn't like pictures

With blotches and blots

The drawing room tea set

Wants horses, sunsets

Sweet nothings -

The seaside with yachts

Here's the end of the thirties

No time for arties

Over in Poland

A right old to-do

So go join the navy

The air force or the army

They'll all be enrolling

Young fellows like you



So go, forget it, let it all go

Let it all go

Go, forget it, let it all go

Go, forget it, let it all go

Let it all go

Go, forget it, let it all go

Let it all go



These are not my decisions

Flaming visions

Ringing expressions

The clamouring voice

It's volcanic desire

The unquenchable fire

It isn't a question

Of having the choice

Anyway, now I'm old

But if you won't be told

If you've been created

To answer the call

All passion and lust

Is going to end in the dust

But you'll hang on some

Government gallery wall



You must go, forget it

Let it all go, let it all go

Go, forget it, let it all go

Go, forget it

Let it all go, let it all go

Go, forget it, let it all go

Let it all go

MICHAEL JACKSON lyrics - Dear Michael

She wrote "Dear Michael

You'll probably never get this letter

Michael, I wrote you a hundred times before

Knowing how I feel

I'll write a hundred more"



"Dear Michael, every time your record's on

(Michael Michael)

Michael, I close my eyes and sing along

Dreaming you're singing to me."



(Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh)



And then she wrote:

(Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh)

"Michael, I love you

I held the tears back long as I can

(Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh)

I'm sealing my feelings in this envelope

(Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh)

'Cause I wanna be more than just your number one fan"



I'm gonna answer your letter

(Michael Michael)

I'll start beginning with the ABC's of loving you

(I love ya)

(She wrote)

(Michael Michael)

(I love ya)

Your letter really touched my heart

(She wrote)

I've been dreaming of meeting the picture

That you send along, signed with all your love

(Michael Michael)

(I wrote ya)

(She wrote)



I'm gonna write you back, ouuh, I promess you that

(Won't you write me back?, please write me back)



Girl, I think I love you

(Michael Michael)

Hurry, hurry mister postman, take my letter, tell her I love her

(She wrote)

(Won't you write me back, please write me back)

(Michael Michael)

(She wrote)



Hurry, hurry mister postman, take my letter tell her I love her

(Won't you write me back, please write me back)



(Michael Michael)

Yeah,

(I wrote you)

(She wrote)

I'm gonna write you back

I promess you that...

RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS lyrics - Breaking The Girl

I am a man

Cut from the know

Rarely do friends

Come and then go

She was a girl

Soft but estranged

We were the two

Our lives rearranged

Feeling so good that day

A feeling of love that day



[Chorus]

Twisting and turning

Your feelings are burning

You're breaking the girl

She meant you no harm

Think you're so clever

But now you must sever

You're breaking the girl

He loves no one else



Raised by my dad

Girl of the day

That was the way

She was the girl

Left alone

Feeling the need

To make me her home

I don't know what when or why

The twilight of love had arrived



[Chorus]

AIR SUPPLY lyrics - Great Pioneer

It happened long ago

When I felt the need

For a life of my own

I dreampt of summer love

And moving high up north

But no one would go

So I walked up the hill and lay there

Imagining the day was near

I know I want to stay there

And be a great pioneer



I made a promise then

That I'd find a place

Where my world won't end

Give me a piece of land

That will be my life

That I will defend

If I work really hard

I will surely survive

I know my virtue is strong

No one could oppose a spirit so raw

To be a part of the state

To be known as a great pioneer

I keep the fires burning

to let you know I'm free

My heart will always be yearning



To be, a part of the state

To be, a part of the state

To be, known as a great pioneer



And if it all should end

And I hear the call

From the great unknown

I'll need to go my way

Let me have my day

Let me be alone



I was dreaming here and lay there

Knowing that my time is here

I know I wanna stay there



To be, a part of the state

To be, a part of the state

To be, known as a great pioneer

BARBRA STREISAND lyrics - Since I Fell For You

When you just give love

And never get love

You'd better let love depart

I know it's so

And yet I know

I can't get you out of my heart

You may leave my happy home

You took my love and now you're gone

Since I fell for you

Love brings such misery and pain

I guess it'll never be the same

Since I fell for you

Well, it's too bad

And it's too sad

But I'm in love with you

You love me

You love me then you snub me

But what can I do?

I'm still

I'm still

I'm still in love with you

I guess I'll never see the light

I get the blues most every night

Since I fell for you

Since I fell for you...

LORETTA LYNN AND CONWAY TWITTY lyrics - Don't Tell Me You're Sorry

(Loretta Lynn)



I'm sorry honey that you walked in and caught her in my lap

But it's not what you're thinking so think before you slap

I suppose you're weighin' that little blonde that walked here in this bar

Ah don't tell me you're sory cause I know how sorry you are

I'm sorry that you think I'm drunk I ain't had a drink today

Would you believe I held her just to see how much she'd weight

That cheatin' look that's on your face is lit up like a star

So don't tell me you're sorry cause I know how sorry you are

Don't tell me you're sorry but I'm as sorry as I can be

Well you'd better move fast and don't give me no sass cause you belong to me

Now honey we ain't done nothing wrong but I'm sorry it's gone this far

But don't tell me you're sorry cause I know how sorry you are

[ guitar ]

Don't tell me you're sorry...

Now wait a minute Loretta you know how sorry I am

Conway you better believe I know how sorry you are

THE KINKS lyrics - Sitting By The Riverside

Just sitting down by the riverside,

Spreading my arms to the open wide.

Now I am free and the world's at my feet.

I can close my eyes.



Oh Love, keep me warm, keep me satisfied.

Please keep me calm, keep me pacified.

Now I'm content and my life is complete.

I can close my eyes.



Sitting by the riverside with you.



I love sitting down by the riverside,

Watching the water go flowing by.

Oh, golly gee, it is heaven to be

Like a willow tree.



Spend my time just drinking wine while looking at the view.

Chairman (John Danforth): The reason for this hearing is not to promote any legislation. Indeed, I don't know of any suggestion that any legislation be passed. But to simply provide a forum for airing the issue itself, for ventilating the issue, for bringing it out in the public domain. Senator Hollings.



Senator Hollings: I've had the opportunity to, ah, attend a, a showing, you might say, or presentation of, ah, this porn rock, as they call it. In the test of pornography, one of the things to look at is it, it does not have any redeeming social value. Ah, there could be an exception here, because having attended that pres, presentation, the redeeming social value I find that is inaudible. I have a hard time understanding it, then. Paul, since I traveled the country for 3 years, 'n they said they could not understand me. Maybe I could make a good rock star. I don't know. Heh. . . But in all candor, I would tell you it's, it's outrageous filth. So, I'll be looking from this Senator's standpoint, not just to bring pressures but to try to see if there is some constitutional provisions to tax, or approach that can be used on the Congress to limit this outrageous filth.



Chairman: Senator Trible.



Senator Trible: Rape, incest, sexual violence. . .

Senator Hollings: It's outrageous filth. . .

Chairman: Thank you very much, Mr. Zappa. You understand that the, the, ah, previous witnesses were not asking for legislation. And I, I don't know, I can't speak for Senator Hollings, but I think that the prevailing view here is that nobody is asking for legislation. The question is just focusing on what a lot of people perceived to be a problem, and you have indicated that you at least understand that there is another point of view.

Chairman: Senator Gorton.

Senator Gorton: Mr. Zappa, I, ah, am astounded at the courtesy and soft-voiced nature of the comments of my friend, the Senator from Tennessee. I can only say that I found your statement to be boorish, ah, incredibly and insensitively insulting to the people that were here previously; that you could manage to give the first amendment of the Constitution of the United States a bad name, if I felt that you had the slightest understanding of it, which I do not. You do not have the slightest understanding of the difference between Government action and private action, and you have certainly destroyed any case you might otherwise have had with this Senator. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

FZ: Is this private action?



Rev. Jeff Ling: Degradation. Humiliation. Thrusting, shoving. Animals humping.

Senator Hawkins?: There's no absolute right to free speech

FZ: I don't think this is constitutional. . .

Well. . .

FZ: Is this private action?

Senator Hawkins: In chains. . .

Rev. Jeff Ling: Listen you little slut, do as you are told. . .

Senator Hawkins?: There's no absolute right. . .

Senator Hawkins?: There's no absolute right. . .

Well. . .

Well. . .

Rev. Jeff Ling: Dressed in leather bondage, masks. . .

Well. . .

Rev. Jeff Ling: Bend up and smell my anal vapor

There's no. . . There's no. . .



Chairman: Mr. Zappa, thank you very much for your testimony.

FZ: Thank you.

Chairman: Next witness is John Denver. . .

Senator Hollings?: We haven't got 'em whipped on this one yet. You got a bear by the tail here, uh? Jeezis!

THE EAGLES lyrics - Heartache Tonight

Somebody's gonna hurt someone

before the night is through

Somebody's gonna come undone.

There's nothin' we can do.

Everybody wants to touch somebody

if it takes all night.

Everybody wants to take a little chance,

Make it come out right.



There's gonna be a heartache tonight,

a heartache tonight, I know.

There's gonna be a heartache tonight, I know.

Lord, I know.



Some people like to stay out late

Some folks can't hold out that long

But nobody wants to go home now.

there's too much goin' on.



This night is gonna last forever.

Last all, last all summer long.

Some time before the sun comes up

The radio is gonna play that song.

There's gonna be a heartache tonight,

A heartache tonight, I know.

There's gonna be a heartache tonight,

A heartache tonight, I know.

Lord I know.



There's gonna be a heartache tonight,

the moon's shinin' bright

so turn out the light, and we'll get it right.

There's gonna be a heartache tonight, a

heartache tonight I know.

Heartache baby,



Somebody's gonna hurt someone, (somebody)

Before the night is through

Somebody's gonna come undone,

There's nothin' we can do

(Everybody) Everybody wants to touch somebody

if it takes all night

Everybody wants to take a little chance

To make it come out right



There's gonna be a heartache tonight

A heartache tonight, I know

There's gonna be a heartache tonight,

A heartache tonight, I know

Let's go.

We can beat around the bushes;

we can get down to the bone

We can leave it in the parkin' lot,

but either way, there's gonna be a

heartache tonight, a heartache tonight I know.

There'll be a heartache tonight

a heartache tonight I know.

DIANA ROSS lyrics - Two Can Make It

(T. Snow/D. Pitchford)



I used to get along

Tried hard to be so strong

What was I doing?

Honey, I thought I had it made

Proud of my masquerade

Who was I fooling?



I thought I was so smart

Nobody touched my heart

I took my chances

But then you opened up my heart

You made me realize

I had no answers

You came along at just the right time

Speaking these words

That made me change my mind



One can fake it

Two can make it

We don't need no more

Love feels better made together

Babe, ain't this what we've been waiting for?



Honey, two hearts can make a pair

We got so much to share as we get older



I'll keep on thanking you

All of my whole life through

Over and over

You came along

At just the right time

Speaking these words

That made me change my mind



One can fake it

Two can make it

We don't need no more

Love feels better made together

Babe, ain't this what we've been waiting for?



Ain't this what we've been waiting for?

Baby



One can fake it

Two can make it

We don't need no more

Love feels better made together

Babe, ain't this what we've been waiting for?



One can fake it

Two can make it

We don't need no more

Love feels better made together

Babe, ain't this what we've been waiting for?



One can fake it

Two can make it

We don't need no more

Love feels better made together

Babe, ain't this what we've been waiting for?

ERIC CLAPTON lyrics - Breaking Point

(Jerry Lynn Williams and Marty Grebb)



Well I just don't get it

Can't make the pieces fit

I might just as well forget it

But my heart won't let me quit



[Chorus:]

You say it's only a part of love

That's right

But I get a little worried sometimes

When I start to lose

Tired of holding it together

When I know I'm going to blow another fuse

I'm at my breaking point

My breaking point

I'm at my breaking point

My breaking point



Well you're never gonna get it

If you don't get up and try

Try and spread those wings around me

Honey let me see you fly



[Chorus]



Maybe someday you'll recover

I can see it in your eyes

One more thing that you'll discover

That you'll finally realize

BRENDA LEE lyrics - Help Me Make It Through The Night

Take the ribbon from your hair

Shake it loose and let it fall

Layin' soft against your skin

Like the shadow on the wall



Come and lay down by my side

Till the early mornin' light

All I'm takin' is your time

Help me make it through the night



I don't care what's right or wrong

I won't try to understand

Let the devil take tomorrow

Lord, tonight I need a friend



Yesterday is dead and gone

And tomorrow's out of sight

And it's sad to be alone

Help me make it through the night



Yesterday is dead and gone

And tomorrow's out of sight

And it's sad to be alone

Help me make it through the night



I don't want to be alone

Help me make it through the night

GRAHAM NASH lyrics - Wild Tales

You came over here with wild tales from the East

About the floods that are rushing 'round your door

About your old lady who up and walked away from your feast,

So you flew your bike over Highway 1

You were lucky to land on your feet

And you started crying 'cause you bent the key,

But it was your lady that landed underneath.

And it is alright

Take it as it comes

You will find a way

To get there.

So tell me your company's being reviewed,

By the people that sit on the stand,

And you tell me your factory's been renewed,

With computers instead of hands.

So you filmed Old faithful in super-8

And you monitored all of her calls

'cause you caught the milkman with double-cream

He was delivering down your halls.

But its all right

Take it as it comes

You will find a way

To get there.

THE BEATLES lyrics - For No One

(Lennon/McCartney)



Your day breaks, your mind aches

You find that all the words of kindness linger on

When she no longer needs you



She wakes up, she makes up

She takes her time and doesn't feel she has to hurry

She no longer needs you



And in her eyes you see nothing

No sign of love behind the tears

Cried for no one

A love that should have lasted years



You want her, you need her

And yet you don't believe her when she said her love is dead

You think she needs you



And in her eyes you see nothing

No sign of love behind the tears

Cried for no one

A love that should have lasted years



You stay home, she goes out

She says that long ago she knew someone but now he's gone

She doesn't need him



Your day breaks, your mind aches

There will be time when all the things she said will fill your head

You won't forget her



And in her eyes you see nothing

No sign of love behind the tears

Cried for no one

A love that should have lasted years

CHER lyrics - Down, Down, Down

Every now and then

I begin again

I push the rock up the mountain

Though I'm learning slow

Now I think I know

How to step aside

When the rock begins to slide



[Chorus:]

Down, down, down

To the bottom of the valley

Down, down, down

But I know it won't crush me anymore



Every now and then

I think I see a friend

I push the rock up the mountain

Ah, getting close to what I never knew

I just step aside

When the rock begins to slide



[Chorus]



Love's not a simple thing

If you're all alone

And finding someone to care

And when you reach him

He's not there

It slides



[Chorus]



Here I go again

Faith has time to lend

I push the rock up the mountain

Hope it won't be just

Another joke on me

But I just step aside

If the rock begins to slide



[Chorus x2]

[Fade]

JACKSON BROWNE lyrics - Sit Down Servant

Sit down!

(oh, please don't make me)

Sit down!

(Cause I just got to heaven.

I'm gonna walk around)

Sit down, servant, and rest a while, sit down.



Oh, I can't sit down,

Oh, I can't sit down,

I can't sit down,

I just got to heaven and I can't sit down.



Now you can talk about me as much as you please,

(Sit down servant)

The more you talk I'm gonna bend my knees,

(Sit down servant)

Oh, I can't sit down,

Oh, I can't sit down,

I can't sit down

BOY GEORGE lyrics - Big Dark Man (Waiting)

Someone said that love

Was a double handed glove

But we need it all the time

Alice she's got Mark

Warren's in the dark

Because his body's superfly

Me I'm just a sucker

Waiting for a lover

Someone with a wicked smile

What's a boy to do

What's a girl to do

What's the point to underline

Waiting for a big dark man

She's waiting for a big

Dark man

Someone said that sex

Was a physical contest

But I don't believe a word

They say love is cool

Then they must be fools

Because of all the things

I've heard

Someone said that hippie

Was a little tripy

But he is a friend of mine

Jeremy he throws

But he might overdose

If he finds a girl tonite

R. E.M. lyrics - Auctioneer (Another Engine)

She didn't want to get pinned down by her prior town

Get me to the train on time, here take this nickel make a dime

Take this penny and make it into a necklace when I leave

What is at the other end, I don't know another friend

Another wife, another morning spent

Listen, listen to the auctioneer

Another engine, another engine



We never wrote the reasons that I need explained

Some things are givens, and others get away

This time its for myself you call it what you may

Okay, we won't say goodbye so long, so much more

Listen to the auctioneer

Another engine, another engine



Listen to the bargain holler

Listen to the barter holler

Listen to the auctioneer



Get me to the train on time here take this nickel make a dime

Take this penny and make it into a necklace when I leave

What is at the other end, an I don't know another friend

Another wife, another morning spent

Listen to the auctioneer

Another engine, another engine



Do I stand the bargain holler?

Listen to the barter holler

Listen to the auctioneer

BABYFACE lyrics - Sorry For The Stupid Things

Sometimes we wish for the better

When we have it good as it gets

Sometimes the grass isn't greener

Sometimes we find out we forget

Sometimes the fool doesn't know he's a fool

Sometimes a dog he don't know he's a dog

Sometimes I do stupid things to you

When I really don't mean it all



Sometimes a man

Just don't be a man

It's not an excuse

It's just how it is

Sometimes the wrong

Don't know that they're wrong

Sometimes the strong

Ain't always so strong

Sometimes a girl

Is gon' be a girl

She don't wanna deal with all the drama in your world

God knows I don't mean to give it to you

So girl I'm sorry for the stupid things I wish I didn't do but I do

Oh so sorry, oh no, oh so sorry



Sometimes I wish I was smarter

Wish I was a bit more like you

Not making stupid decisions made at the last minute

You live to regret when it's through



Well, sometimes the fool doesn't know he's a fool

And sometimes a dog he don't know he's a dog

Sometimes I do stupid things to you

When I really didn't mean it all



Sometimes a man

Just don't be a man

It's not an excuse

It's just how it is

Sometimes the wrong

Don't know that they're wrong

Sometimes the strong

Can't always be strong

Sometimes a girl

Is gon' be a girl

She don't wanna deal with all the drama in your world

God knows I don't mean to give it to you

So girl I'm sorry for the stupid things I wish I didn't do but I do



Sometimes the fool doesn't know he's a fool

Sometimes a dog he don't know he's a dog

Sometimes I do stupid things to you

When I really didn't mean it at all, at all



Sometimes a man

Just don't be a man

It's not an excuse

It's just how it is

Sometimes the wrong

Don't know that they're wrong

Sometimes the strong

Ain't always so strong

Sometimes a girl

Is gon' be a girl

She don't wanna deal with all the drama in your world

God knows I don't mean to give it to you

So girl I'm sorry for the stupid things I wish I didn't do but I do

SANTANA lyrics - Gypsy Woman

(Curtis Mayfield)



From nowhere

Through a caravan

Around the campfire light

A lovely woman in motion

With hair as dark as night

Her eyes were like that

Of a cat in the dark

They hypnotize me with love



She was a gypsy woman

She was a gypsy woman



She danced around and round

To a guitar melody

From the fire her face

Was all aglow

How she enchanted me

Oh how I'd like to hold her near

And kiss and forever whisper in her ear



I love you gypsy woman



All through the caravan

She was dancing with all the men

Waiting for the rising sun

Everyone was having fun



I hate to see the lady go

Knowing she'll never know

That I love her



That I love her



She danced around and round

To a guitar melody

From the fire her face

Was all aglow

How she enchanted me

Oh how I'd like to hold her near

And kiss and forever whisper in her ear

MICHAEL JACKSON lyrics - Privacy

Ain’t the pictures enough, why do you go through so much

To get the story you need, so you can bury me

You’ve got the people confused, you tell the stories you choose

You try to get me to lose the man I really am



You keep on stalking me, invading my privacy

won’t you just let me be

‘cause you cameras can’t control, the minds of those who know

That you’ll even sell your soul just to get a story sold



[CHORUS]

I need my privacy, I need my privacy

So paparazzi, get away from me



Some of you still wonder why, one of my friends had to die

To get a message across, that yet you haven’t heard

My friend was chased and confused, like many others I knew

But on that cold winter night, my pride was snatched away



Now she get no second chance, she just ridiculed and harassed

Please tell my why

No there’s a lesson to learn, respect’s not given, it’s earned

Stop maliciously attacking my integrity



[CHORUS]



Now there’s a lesson to learn, stories are twisted and turned

Stop maliciously attacking my integrity



[CHORUS x 3]

NEIL YOUNG lyrics - Flying On The Ground (Is Wrong)

Is my world not falling down

I'm in pieces on the ground

And my eyes aren't open

And I'm standing on my knees

But if crying and holding on

And flying on the ground is wrong

Then I'm sorry to let you down,

But you're from my side of town

And I miss you.



Turn me up or turn me down

Turn me off or turn me round

I wish I could have

met you in a place

Where we both belong

But if crying and holding on

And flying on the ground is wrong

Then I'm sorry to let you down,

But you're from my side of town

And I miss you.



Sometimes I feel

like I'm just a helpless child

Sometimes I feel like a kid.

But baby, since I have changed

I can't take nothing home.



City lights at a country fair

Never shine but always glare

If I'm bright enough to see you,

You're just too dark to care.

But if crying and holding on

And flying on the ground is wrong

Then I'm sorry to let you down,

But you're from my side of town

And I miss you.

NEIL YOUNG lyrics - Welfare Mothers

People, pick up

on what I'm puttin' down now



Welfare mothers

Down at every

Laundromat in town now



Welfare mothers

While they're washin'

you can hear this sound now



Welfare mothers

make better lovers



Divorcee!



Hard to believe

that love is free now



Welfare mothers

make better lovers



Out on the street

with the whole family now



Welfare mothers

make better lovers



Hard to believe

that love is free now



Welfare mothers

make better lovers



Divorcee!



People, pick up

on what I'm puttin' down now



Welfare mothers

make better lovers



Down in every

Laundromat in town now



Welfare mothers

make better lovers



While they're washin'

you can hear this sound now



Welfare mothers

make better lovers



Divorcee!

THE BEATLES lyrics - The Sheik Of Araby

Well I'm the sheik of Araby

Your love belongs to me

Well at night where you're asleep

Into your tent I'll creep

Aha



The stars that shine above

Will light our way to love

Ah you rule this world with me

I'm the sheik of Araby



Well I'm the sheik of Araby

Your love belongs to me

Wow oh at night where you're asleep

Into your tent I'll creep

Aha



The sun that shines above

Will light our way to love

You rule this world with me

I'm the sheik of Araby

Well I'm the sheik of Araby

Well I'm the sheik of Araby, yeah



[The sheik of Araby...]

THE POLICE lyrics - No Time This Time

(Sting)



No time for the complexities of conversation

No time smiles, no time for knowing

No time for the intricacies of explanation

No time for sharing, even less for showing



If I could

I'd slow the whole world down

I'd bring it to it's knees

I'd stop it spinning round

But as it is

I'm climbing up an endless wall



No time at all

No time this time

No time at all

No time this time



No time for a quick kiss at the railway station

No time for a suitcase, sandwich and a morning paper

Only time for time tables, calls and transportation

No time to think no time to dare



If I could

I'd slow the whole world down

I'd bring it to it's knees

I'd stop it spinning round

But as it is

I'm climbing up an endless wall



No time at all

No time this time

No time at all

No time this time



If I could

I'd slow the whole world down

I'd bring it to it's knees

I'd stop it spinning round

But as it is

I'm climbing up an endless wall



No time at all

No time this time

No time at all

No time this time

No time at all

No time this time

No time at all

No time this time

No time at all



No time at all...

ICE CUBE lyrics - What Can I Do? (Remix)

[Sampled announcer:]

In any country, prison is where society sends it's failures

But in this country, society itself is failing



[Ice Cube:]

Hellll yeah! Uhh..

Ta-dow! Uhh..

Ta-dow! Uhh..

Ta-dow! UHH!



Ta-dow, how ya like me now I'm in the mix

It's nineteen-eighty-six and I got the fix

With the chicken and a quota, got the bakin soda

Let the water boil, workers all loyal

Dropped out the twelveth cause my wealth is shorter

Than a midget on his knees, now I slang ki's

Infest my hood with crack, I'm the mack

+It Take a Nation of Millions to Hold Me Back+

Too big for my britches, and I got bitches

Now I'm hittin switches, niggaz want my riches

Used to get 18, when my G was alive

Now a ki' is 13-5

Eighty-nine's the number, another summer

(Get down!) Police ain't get no dumber

Streets dried up, used to think it would last

But being a kingpin is a thing of the past

They tried to blast me for slangin a boulder

Now I got my ass in Minnesota

Got my own crew, it's on brand new

Damn, what can I do? Oooh



Ta-dow, what can I do?

Ta-dow, what can I do?

Ta-dow, how ya like me now?

Ta-dow, what can I do?

Ta-dow, what can I do?

Ta-dow, how ya like me now? Fool



[Ice Cube:]

Already done stacked me half a meal ticket

Bought a house next to Prince, now I can kick it

Now I got ends, wavin to my friends

Rollin in a Benz, goin to see the Twins

Play at the 'dome; police are tappin my mobile phone

I'm almost home

Gettin excited, indicted

Spent a grip and a year tryin to fight it

Lawyer got paid; plea, no contest

Cause everything I own, got repossessed

Now take a look at the dust

And I'm happy cause I only got 36 months

I never picked up a book

Cause, my arms are 16 inches, nigga look (OOOH)

Can't wait for ninety-two so I can get with my crew

And see, what can I do



Ta-dow, what can I do?

Ta-dow, what can I do?

Ta-dow, how ya like me now?

Ta-dow, what can I do?

Ta-dow, what can I do?

Ta-dow, how ya like me now?



[Ice Cube:]

Fucked up in the pen, now it's ninety-fo'

Back in L. A., and I'm bailin through the do'

Everybody, know I gotta start from scratch

So where the work at, and niggaz smirk at

Me sayin ain't nuttin poppin from here to the L. B.

What you tell me?

No it ain't crackin, everybody's jackin for a Coupe

Since, they sent in the troops

Even though I got muscle, that ain't my hustle

Takin a nigga's shit in a tussle

No skills, to pay the bills

Talkin about education to battle inflation

No college degree, just a dumb ass G

(Yeah you fool..) Who me?

I got a baby on the way, damn it's a mess

Have you ever been convicted of a felony? Yes

Took some advice from my Uncle Fester

All dressed up in polyester

Welcome to McDonalds may I please help you?



[Mack 10:]

Yeah you can help me punk

Give me all of the money, or I'm dumpin

That's on my momma

Ay homeboy, while you at it

Gimme large fries, a strawberry shake

A Big Mac, cause this Mack 10 fo' life



[Ice Cube:]

Can I roll wit you? What can I do?

Now I'm on the run, with a gun

And this fool I don't know, pedal to the flo'

Swervin, servin all of the pigs

Just because they tryin to split my wig

I'm in custody, L. A.P. D.

One more felony, strike number three

Twenty-five to life in cell block two

It's true, that's what I gotta do, oooh



Ta-dow, what can I do?

Ta-dow, what can I do?

Ta-dow, how ya like me now?

Ta-dow, what can I do?

Ta-dow, what can I do?

Ta-dow, how ya like me now?

In any country, prison is where society sends it's failures

But in this country, society itself is failing

L. A. GUNS lyrics - Crazy Motorcycle

Ride these streets as fast as lightning

City nights are so exciting

Nothing gonna slow me down

Hold on tight, I love that sound



Hi way, skyway, seven kinds of my way

Fast cars, porn stars

Yeah its been a wild ride



Hey yeah hey yeah hey yeah

Wanna go for a ride



Hey little girl

Come and rock my world

Take you for a twirl

On my crazy motorcycle



Hear the angels screaming baby

No sweet words are gonna save me

Kick it into overdrive

Feels so good to be alive

PRINCE lyrics - I Can't Make U Love Me

Turn down these voices inside my head

Lay down with me, tell me no lies

Just hold me close, don't patronize

Don't patronize me

Cuz I can't make U love me if U don't

I can't make your heart feel something it won't

Here in the dark, in these final hours

I will lay down my heart (my heart) and I'll feel the power

But U won't, no, U won't

Cuz I can't make U love me if U don't



Do U?

Do U love me?

Look at me



I'll close my eyes, then I won't see

The love U don't feel, when U're holding me (Hold me)

Morning will come and I'll do what's right (Do it right [x2])

Just give me 'til then 2 give up this fight

And I will, I will give up this fight

Oh, yes I will



Cuz I can't make U love me if U don't

I can't make your heart feel something it won't

Ah, don't U know here in the dark, in the dark baby, these final hours (Here in the dark)

I will lay down my heart (my heart) and I'll feel the power, oh yes I will

But U won't

Tell me why, tell me why U don't?



(I can't make U love me if U don't)

Come here, baby

(I can't make your heart feel something it won't)

Talk 2 me, tell me where U wanna be kissed

Talk 2 me, tell me how U want me 2 do this

In this bedroom/church, U can guess the offering



I offer U (My heart)

I offer U sexual relations (But U won't)

But U won't (U won't)

Tell me what's up baby?

Am I moving 2 fast?

Not only do I wanna be the first, I wanna be the last, the last

Is that so bad?

I.. I want 2.. U know



I wanna, I wanna, I wanna make U love me

(Do U love me?)

Come on baby, U can take it (My heart) (Come on and take it)

It's real love - I wanna make it (I wanna)

But U won't love me, love me (But U won't)

U won't love me, baby

What's a man 2 do?

What is this man gonna do?



I can't make U love me if U don't

I want U 2 (love me) love me

I need U 2 (kiss me, yeah)

Oh darlin' (Love me)

Love me [x5]



Turn down the lights, turn down the bed

Turn down these voices inside my head

Lay down with me, tell me no lies

Just hold me close between your thighs

(I can't make U love me)

BAD RELIGION lyrics - Pity The Dead

there's a boy in crimson rags with a grimace and a spoon, and a little sullen

girl face-up staring at the moon

and there's no one around to hear their lonesome cries

then they pass away alone into the night



why do we pity the dead?

are you churned by emotion from voices in your head?

(are you scared of the logic that swirls within your head)

look at all the living and you'll ask yourself why

oh why do we

pity the dead?

pity the dead!



well, you've seen the disease, suffering and decay,

and you whisper to yourself blissfully "it's okay"

and you still refuse the possibility

that the dead are better off than we



tell me what you see, tell me what you know

is there anyone who lives a painless life?

if there is show me so

the destitute and famished, demonic and the

banished, dejected and the ostracized, the

brainwashed and the paralyzed, the conquered

and objectified, the few who see the other side

tell me what you see! It's a mortal wretched cacophony



in the end you may find there's no guiding subtle light,

no ancestors or friends, no judge of wrong or right

just eternal silence and dormancy

and a final everlasting peace

LOVEMONGERS lyrics - Papa Was A Rolling Stone

It was the third of September

That day I'll always remember, yes I will

Cause that was the day, that my daddy died

I never got a chance to see him

Never heard nothin' but bad things about him

Momma I'm depending on you, to tell me the truth

Momma just hung her head and said, son



[Chorus:]

Papa was a rolling stone, (my son)

Where ever he laid his hat was his home

And when he died, all he left us was alone



[Chorus]



Hey Momma!

Is it true what they say that Papa never worked a day, in his life

And Momma, some bad talk goin' round town sayin' that Papa had three outside children

And another wife, and that ain't right

Heard them talking Papa doing some store front preachin'

Talked about saving souls and all the time reaching

Dealing in debt, and stealing in the name of the law

Momma just hung her head and said...



[Chorus 2x]



Hey Momma,

I heard Papa called himself a jack of all trades

Tell me is that what sent Papa to an early grave

Folks say Papa would beg, borrow, steal

To pay his bills

Hey Momma,

Folks say Papa never was much on thinking

Spent most of his time chasing women and drinking

Momma I'm depending on you, to tell me the truth

Momma looked up with a tear in her eye and said, son...



[Chorus 4x]

DELBERT MCCLINTON lyrics - Pledging My Love

Forever my darlin' my love will be true

Always and forever I love just you

Just promise me darlin' your love in return

My heart's at your command, dear, to keep love and to hold

Makin' you happy is my desire, lovin' you is my goal

My heart's at your command, dear, to keep love and to hold

Makin' you happy is my desire, lovin' you is my goal



I'll forever love you for the rest of my days

I'll never part from you and your lovin' ways

TOM WAITS lyrics - I Never Talk To Strangers

stop me if you've heard this one

i feel as though we've met before

perhaps i'm mistaken

but it's just that i remind you

of someone you used to care about

but that was long ago

do you think i'd fall for that

i wasn't born yesterday

besides i never talk to strangers anyway



i ain't a bad guy when you get to know me

i just thought there ain't no harm

hey just try minding your own business

bud who asked you to annoy me

with your sad repartee

besides i never talk to strangers anyway



your life's a dimestore novel

this town is full of guys like you

and you're looking for someone to take the place of her

and you're bitter cause he left you

that's why you're drinkin in this bar

well only suckers fall in love

with perfect strangers



it always takes one to know one stranger

maybe we're just wiser now

and been around the block so many times

that we don't notice

that we're all just perfect strangers

as long as we ignore

that we all begin as strangers

just before we find

we really aren't strangers anymore

REBA MCENTIRE lyrics - (I Still Long To Hold You) Now And Then

(Jerry Fuller)



I see you now, I think of then

And dwell upon the happiness of way back when

Cause since you said goodbye

The feelings just won't die

And I still long to hold you now and then



A million years have come and gone

And I was sure by now I'd make it on my own

But seeing you today

Took my breath away

And I still long to hold you now and then



Suddenly I felt myself wondering

If you might wanna try it again

And though I wanted so much to hold you

You smiled and shook my hand



So I'll exist on dreams again

On days when we were lovers and not just friends

And even if I find another love in time

I still long to hold you now and then



Oh, I still long to hold you now and then
