DORO PESCH lyrics - Save My Soul
I was tempted
Like a desperate child
Sent out in the world to taste it
It was colder than steel
Frozen in fields
Emptied by the turning of pages
Falling like stone
Over and over
Falling alone
Hold on hold on
Love, will save my soul someday
Love, will save my soul someday
Take me away
Take' me so far away
Love will save my soul someday
I was trusted like a heart of gold
Walked out on this earth to make it
Yea, I'm batter than bad
Stronger than sad
Harder than the tock of ages
Fallin' like stones
Over and over
Falling alone
Hold on, hold on
Love, will save my soul someday
Love, will save my soul someday
Take me away
Take me so far away
Love, will save my soul someday
[Solo]
Fallin' like stone
Over and over
Falling alone
Hold on, hold on
Love, will save my soul someday
Love, will save my soul someday
Take me away
Take me so far away
Love, will save my soul
Love, will save my soul
Love, will save my soul
L. L. COOL J lyrics - The Breakthrough
[Verse]
Knuckleheads spreadin' gossip all over town
Every time I drive by you're just standin' around
Hundred-bottles in your pocket, forty-dog in your hand
Don't you know you're just a worker and your boss is my man?
L. L. this, L. L. that, soon as I walk in the place
I wanna take my gun and shoot you in your muthafuckin' face
You're playin' me too close with the schemin' and games
I guess the beef and the bullshit is the price of fame
Movies, records, goin' on tour
Twenty-thousand people hip-hoppin' on the floor
Whole parties body-rockin', and everything's chill
Get back to New York, and the suckers act ill
See I fought with the devil, made a promise to God
I have experience in goin' all the way to the top
It's harder harder than hard
All the suckers are barred
You used to try to talk down now your ego is scarred
See the problem is you want what another man has
His car, his wife, or his razzamatazz
But that's weak, you gotta do work on your own
cuz when you're rich you got friends
but when you're poor you're alone
So get your own on your own, it'll strengthen your soul
Stop livin' off your parents like you're three years old
Instead of walkin' like you're limp and talkin' yang about me
why don't you take your monkey-ass and get a college degree?
Or write a rhyme and ride a bike and try to live carefree
Hope my message reaches you before you're seventy-three
A old man, when people ask you what you did with your life
you'll say "I hated L. L. and I carried a big knife"
Every day is a chase, every day is a race
and every day you're being overpowered by my bass
Too much juice to be a deuce, I had to be a ace
It's like the fire's in my eyes and the gun's in my face
I'm stompin' stupid knuckleheads until they bleed
I'm the leader of the show, so it's up to me to lead
I'mma lead you away from drugs and petty crime
Lead you away from wack beats and rhyme
Lead you to that ticket line
so you can come in my show and watch the stars shine
Get busy, not dizzy, wanna teach the young
The last man who didn't listen ended up gettin' hung
Not that I killed him, it's just
He didn't wanna trust
the words of a master that's why you must
Take heed to the speech, it's gonna reach your ear
Don't try to say you can't hear cuz the words are clear
Throwin' flurries, punks scurry and I bury the rest
You better hurry up and rock a rhyme and give it your best
Cuz tonight's the night we gonna see the big fight
Twelve-gauge on the stage in case it don't go right
E-Love drives a tank, he's strong like a truck
If you're cryin' while you're dyin' we ain't givin' a fuck
L. L. Cool J is on the microphone
tellin' all you punk ducks "Leave me the hell alone"
Cuz I'm rated X, born to snap necks
Straight up and down, no special effects
I'm the professor, the teacher, the hip-hop dean
If Russia bombed the U. S., they'd be scared to touch Queens
Cuz that's where I live, and this is what I give
Turnin' top-notch crews into fugitives
They run, they frightened, they hide from King Titan
like a sniper when he's shootin' or a viper when he's bitin'
Here I am, tellin' the truth
and I'm spreadin' the word to my fellow youth
It goes man-to-man and jam-to-jam
I got hip-hop, rock, and love song fans
All you petty MC's in the state of New York
Gettin' a thousand for a show but you still wanna squawk
Can't get a decent contract, your beats ain't workin'
Dogged-out Pumas plus you're manager's jerkin'
Your mic sounds weak, remember that skeezer
I'm badder than Napoleon, Hitler or Caesar
I'm a hitman, but I'm not for hire
Fly girl's desire, the man you admire
Not only on the stage, I rock in the park
and I'm a killer in the daytime, and worse after dark
So don't never ever mess with the king of the sound
L. L. Cool J, the baddest around.
REO SPEEDWAGON lyrics - Runnin' Blind
First you say one thing then you say another.
I don't know the difference, were you lyin' to me baby?
But it seems to me you got yourself in a bind.
Always on the road playin' your guitar.
Leaving me at home for cryin' out loud.
Wish you could see babe that you're runnin' blind, yeah!
Change is comin' no more runnin'
Change is comin' no more runnin'
Well it's time for you to play all that you can say
Is "Get out of my way. Don't be in the way"
Always hear you screamin'
I know you're just dreamin' of leavin' it all behind.
Hands keep goin' up and down
Eyes are turnin' around and around
Your goin' crazy and nobody minds
Change is comin' no more runnin'
Change is comin' no more runnin'
Change is comin' no more runnin'
Change is comin' no more runnin'
Oooooo! You can't go on runnin' blind!
Change is comin' no more runnin'
Change is comin' no more runnin'
Change is comin' no more runnin'
Change is comin' no more runnin'
FRANK SINATRA lyrics - The Good Life
(S. Distel, J. Reardon)
[Recorded June 10, 1964, Los Angeles]
It's the good life, full of fun, seems to be the ideal,
Yes, the good life, lest you hide all the sadness you feel,
You won't really fall in love 'cause you can't take the chance,
So be honest with yourself, don't try to fake romance.
Yes, the good life, to be free and explore the unknown,
Like the heartache when you learn you must face them alone,
Please remember I still want you and in case you wonder why,
Well, just wake up, kiss that good life goodbye.
[musical interlude]
Please remember I still want you and in case you wonder why,
Well, just wake up, kiss that good life goodbye.

NAZARETH lyrics - Loretta
Lovely Loretta
I'd like to know you better
Sure would like to know what's
Goin' on in your head
Sweet juicy Lucy go crazy if you chose me
Sure would like to help you
Stop fallin' out'a your bed
Lovely Loretta you know I'm scared to bet ya
I don't know if I went if I'd win or I'd lose
Stronger tha whiskey, ya got to be a Frisky
But ya got something I'd really, like to use
Lovely Loretta
I saw ya in a magazine
Set my details to the gettin' scene
Lovely Loretta you're lookin' so good to me
Helps to make my dreams reality
Lovely Loretta, you know I've got to get ya
You know that its only a simple matter of time
Save my sanity, Oh, girl you gotta use me
Loretta come and help me stop goin' out'a my mind
Loretta come and help me stop goin' out'a my mind
Lovely Loretta
Lovely Loretta
Lovely Loretta
JONI MITCHELL lyrics - Who Has Seen The Wind
Who has seen the wind scalloping the sea
Or gliding like a swallow over villages and trees?
"I have," said the willow,
"And I begged him please to stay, but he went away,
He went on his own one day." And I sing
"One love have I," and he sings, "Now it's goodbye,"
And I sing "Part of me dies until I see you again."
Who has seen the sun through a parasol of leaves,
Through scattered ruby cloud fires, through the silver wings of bees?
"I have," said the waters, "and I held his face to mine,
But he left in time, he went in his own good time."
And I sing "One love have I," and he sings,
"Now it's goodbye," and I sing
"Part of me dies until I see you again."
Who has seen the stranger in a coat of simple brown,
With his face of many faces, with his eyes turned out of town?
I have and I kissed him and I begged him please to stay,
But he went away, with the sun and the wind away.
And I sing "One love have I," and he sings,
"Now it's goodbye," and I sing
"Part of me dies until i see you again"
GILBERT O'SULLIVAN lyrics - Help Is On The Way
So you want to love me
But you don't know why
You've got a problem up ahead
That's in sight
Love to meet your uncle
Only as I was saying
I have a relative myself the same type
Call yourself a man
I said, why not if it's true
I said, you call yourself a taxi and fly
And like a bird she flew out
Of the window
Leaving me a box of milk tray
A note upon it to say
If nothing's alright it's okay
'Cos help is on the way.
Sorry to disturb you
At this awful hour
But I was wondering
If you have the time
Supposed to meet a woman here
At half past eight
And now you're telling me
It's already nine
Man you should have seen it
As the boat overturned
There was a cry out
From a hand or a leg
And like a stone she went
Down to the bottom
Leaving us above in dismay
Despite the captain who'd say
If nothing's alright it's okay
'Cos help is on the way
I got a letter
It came as a note
It said, I'm sorry
I haven't spoke
It was written out in Braille
So I knew that it felt good
Right from the start
[Solo part]
I tried to reach you
But you weren't at home
I left a message
Right after the tone It said, sorry I'm not in
If you'd care to call again
I'll get back to you - back to you.
So you want to love me
But you don't know why
You've got a bee up in your bonnet
That's fine
Nothing like a buzz going around
Your head
To clear the cobwebs from the state
Of your mind
Well, you won't believe this
But believe me
It's true
I had this woman
In the palm of my hand
When like a madman
She leapt out the windowv Leaving me a box of milk tray
A note upon it to say,
If nothing's alright it's okay
'Cos help is on the way.

MEN AT WORK lyrics - Helpless Automaton
I stay in my room,
All alone in the gloom,
What need I of light?
Machines they can see in the night,
And I feel no pain
Metal heart and a metal brain,
But something is wrong
'cause I still feel that signal coming in so
I stand at your door,
I guess I'll wait a moment more
Your hall light comes on
And now my turn to fire upon
But I wheel away
Defer my plight, for another day
To dream of your face
But a video scren takes its place
Hey, oh it's true
I'm a helpless automaton, Make an ultimatum to you
Hey, it's true
Machin'ry in my pocket, I've even got a docket from you
I went to the man, I told him a robot is what I am,
But he just smiled, said I was a fractious child
"Distrusted not Rusted" That's why I feel so disgusted
But I know he's wrong, 'cause I haven't felt this way for very long
Hey, it's true,
I'm a helpless automaton, make an ultimatum to you
Hey, it's true
Machin'ry in my pocket, I've even got a docket from you
I'm a helpless automaton, make an ultimatum to you
Hey, it's true
Machin'ry in my pocket, I've even got a docket from you
It's true
I'm a helpless automaton, make an ultimatum to you
Hey, it's true
Machin'ry in my pocket, I've even got a docket from you
from you
from you

AMY GRANT lyrics - Come Into My World
Come into my world
Come crashing through the ceiling
And find the messy rooms, the scattered pearls
If you are brave enough then come into my world
Come into my world
So lovely from the outside
So dark in here the demons dance and twirl
And find their pleasure frightening this girl
If you are brave then come into my world
[Chorus:]
Cause I never saw the changes come
Or knew enough to run when this old house had come undone
And now I'm buried in the walls
And no one comes to call but you
Come into my world
Come into my world
I can not find the doorway
It's overgrown with vines that twist and curl
If you are brave then come into my world
Come into my world
There'll be no other invitation
Not another sound another word
Nothing more than you've already heard
Please be brave and come into my world
[Chorus]

TEARS FOR FEARS lyrics - Cold
The coldest shoulder cast in metal
Frozen to the bone
To rely on hook, line and sinker
What a sinker
Sinking like a stone
You'd be better off alone
She saw me on the television underneath the sun
Thought that I was warm like mother, lover, brother
Brother, she was wrong
Me, I don't long to belong
Cold, been excommunicated cos I'm cold
My temperature's been rated and I'm cold
Bring to me my big old sweater
Nothing more will make me better
I met her on Monday and my heart did nothing new
Seems she thought of me as some mystic, fatalistic, mystical guru
Me, I haven't got a clue
But floating on a magic carpet high above the earth
You can see the world like a Buddha, bread and Buddha
Bigger than you hurt
Don't you know that love is work
Cold, no heat on the horizon guess I'm cold
And Capricorn is rising yes I'm cold
Listened to my old Nockles
Hoped that it would warm the cockles
You can't fight the fear you can't, this is the road you're on
You don't belong to me you don't belong to any one
Your reputation lies not in your eyes, but those who dare
Will bite the hand that feeds when it don't meet your needs
When you got blood to bleed, you got a life to lead
In the flood with my blood I can hold you
Cold, been excommunicated cos I'm cold
My temperature's been rated and I'm cold
Bring to me my big old sweater
Nothing more will make me better
Cold, no heat on the horizon guess I'm cold
There'll be no comprimising, cold, cool, cold
Stone cold
Stone cold
Cold
Cold
Cold
STATUS QUO lyrics - Nanana (#2)
Writing songs that I think sound so strange
Writing words that I feel I should change
It's all right if they sound just like other songs
My guitar strums along just the same
If this song's underlined with my name
Nanana na nana na na na na na na
Nanana na nana na na na na na
Nanana na nana na na na na na na
Nanana na nana na na na na na
Playing games that I think may be wrong
Making sounds that can go on and on
It's all right if you stay right on to the end
If my song could've been just a bore
Then I hope you may come back for more
Nanana na nana na na na na na na
Nanana na nana na na na na na
Nanana na nana na na na na na na
Nanana na nana na na na na na
Nanana na nana na na na na na na
Nanana na nana na na na na na...
CHRIS DE BURGH lyrics - Ship To Shore
Ship to shore, do you read me anymore,
This line is bad, and fading,
Ship to shore, answer my call,
Send me a signal, a beacon to bring me home; I have been to see the world,
tasted life at every turn,
And all the time,
Your face came back to haunt me;
Day by day the feeling grew,
I know I'm still in love with you,
The further that I go,
The more I know it, I wanna show it, Ship to shore, do you read me anymore,
This line is bad, and fading,
Ship to shore, answer my call,
Send me a signal, a beacon to bring me home; Moving fast, all systems go,
You and I had time to grow,
Before there was a breakdown in transmission;
How I wish that we could turn,
The clock back to the days when,
We were lovers in the true sense,
Of the meaning, you must believe me, Ship to shore, do you read me anymore,
This line is bad, I'm drowning,
Ship to shore, answer my call,
Send me a signal, a beacon to bring me home;
Ship to shore, ship to shore, ship to shore...
I cannot believe my eyes,
But I think I see a light;
You are everything I've always,
Wanted in my life;
PHIL COLLINS lyrics - No Way Out (Theme From Brother Bear)
Everywhere I turn, I hurt someone
But there's nothing I can say to change
the things I've done
Of all the things I hid from you
I cannot hide the shame
And I pray someone, something will come
to take away the pain
There's no way out of this dark place
No hope, no future
I know I can't be free
But I can't see another way
I can't face another day
Tell me where, did I go wrong
Everyone I loved, they're all gone
I'd do everything differently
but I can't turn back the time
There's no shelter from the storm
inside of me
There's no way out of this dark place
No hope, no future
I know I can't be free
But I can't see another way
I can't face another day
I can't believe the words I hear
It's like an answer to a prayer
When I look around I see
This place, this time, this friend of mine
I know its hard but you
found somehow
To look into your heart and
to forgive me now
You've given me the strength to see
just where my journey ends
You've given me the strength
to carry on
I see the path from this dark place
I see my future
Your forgiveness has set me free
On and I can see another way
I can face another day!
I see the path, I can see the path
I see the future
I see the path from this dark place
I see the future
I see the path, I can see the path
I see the future

BRYAN FERRY lyrics - Make You Feel My Love
[Originally by Bob Dylan]
When the rain is blowin' in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love.
When the evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one there to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love.
I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I would never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong.
I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawlin' down the avenue
No, there's nothin' that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love.
Though storms are raging on the rollin' sea
And on the highway of regrets
Though winds of change are throwing wild and free
You ain't seen nothin' like me yet.
I could make you happy, make your dreams come true
Nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of the Earth for you
To make you feel my love.
JAMES TAYLOR lyrics - Hymn
I got holy children to show me the light, singing hallelujah, brother how about you?
Yeah, we got holy scriptures here that prove us to be right,
in believing out loud what we wish to be true.
I got stoned out neighbors to take me in tow, singing close your eyes, singing open wide.
Watch the world fall away below, let the winter wind blow,
and where will we hide when it comes from inside?
Oh, hear me now, hear me now, hear me now, hear me now, hear me now, hear me now,
hear me now, listen I got sweet, sweet music inside.
Yes, a child inside me was alone in the night,
Now has come to me, love has set my soul free.
As a man and a woman stand alone in the night, here is reason to be like sun on the sea.
THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS lyrics - New Orleans (New Orleans House of Blues)
We got a special song for you now. This is, uh, a world premiere.
We just put this song together a couple weeks ago--
We took a couple weeks off just to put this song together.
Special deep, deep, quarantine.
This song is called House of Blues and it's about where you are right now.
There is a house
In New Orleans
Called the House of Blues
It swallows all
Who stray too close
It will come for you
It will seek you out at nightfall
Resistance is futile
It will find you in your hidey-hole
Resistance is futile
It will seek you out at daybreak
Resistance is futile
It will find you in your workplace
Resistance is futile
House of Blues
House of Blues
House of Blues
Aaaah!
Thanks a lot. How's it going?
LUTHER VANDROSS lyrics - Make Me A Believer
Superman can fly high way up in the sky
'Cause we believe he can
So what we choose to believe can always work out fine
It's all in the mind
So think of a place and imagine a time
(Imagine a time, imagine a time)
And let's go be lovers
Believing me, Ooo wee baby
Is believing right, yeah yeah yeah
And...
[Chorus:]
I wanna love, wanna have, wanna hold you girl (Girl)
So make me a believer
(Wanna love, wanna love, wanna love, wanna love, wanna love, wanna girl)
I wanna love, wanna have, wanna hold you girl (Girl)
[Interlude:]
Ooo so near
And forever keep you here
Forget all about whatever we fear (Whatever we fear)
And let's just be lovers
Loving and loving, oh love is the way
To make me stay, make me stay
Yeah, I know the way to persuade me over to your side
And I am sure you can
So if you get me to believe
It all will work out fine
'Cause you'll blow my mind
So let's pick a place and a day and a time (A place and a day and a time)
And then we'll be lovers
Loving and loving, oh love is the way
To make me stay, make me stay
[Chorus and Fade]
SHELBY LYNNE lyrics - Where Am I Now
I thought I was moving but my legs were broken
Words were coming out but they were left unspoken
Maybe I was dreaming in my head, in my head.
Memories were noted but I hadn't lived them
Swords were on my heart but I had long forgived them
Funny how the hurtful voices seem to slip away.
[Chorus:]
Where am I now
I don't know how
I wound up in this place again.
How Am I now
Just bringing me down.
I'm looking for a house where the door is open
My body's moving fast but my spirit's broken.
Where Am I Now
Oh anytime you break and turn the cycles change
Water starts pouring down your face again
You find yourself falling in the safety net you used to call home.
When you focus all your little thoughts and troubles
To the place of clear and cloudy clouds that rumble
Standing in a field of open avenues with no place to go.
[Chorus]
Oh my lips are set and parted but my head is empty
I try to spit it out but it won't resempt me
From feeling like it's out in the open said and done.
Telling's just talking that turns into speeches
Doesn't aid the body with the hand that reaches
Stumble in the void to find there's no one there.
[Chorus]
ROSANNE CASH lyrics - Big River
(Johnny Cash/Rosanne Cash)
Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry
And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky
And the tears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you Big River
Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die
I met her accidentally in St. Paul, Minnesota
And it tore me up every time I heard her drawl, Southern drawl
Then I heard my dream was back downstream Cavortin' in Davenport
And I followed you, Big River, when you called
Then you took me to St. Louis later on down the river
A freighter said she's been here but she's gone, boy, she's gone
I found her trail in Memphis but she just walked up the block
Raised a few eyebrows and then she went on down alone
Now, won't you batter down by Baton Rouge, River Queen, roll it on
Take that woman on down to New Orleans, New Orleans
Go on, I've had enough, dump my blues down in the gulf
She loves you, Big River, more than me

JOHN LEE HOOKER lyrics - Down At The Landing
(John Lee Hooker)
When I was down at the landing people, Lord, waiting with my head hung down
Lord, I was down at the landing, with my head hung down
I could see everybody's baby gettin' on board, Lord, but I couldn't see mine, Lord, I couldn't
I said "Lord have mercy, where could my baby be"
I said "Lord have mercy, people, where could my baby be"
I could see everybody's ba, ba, ba, ba, baby, Lord, but I can't see mine
This big boat kept on rollin', big boat kept on rollin' along
Lord, but it did, Lord, the big boat, the big boat people. big boat kept on rollin' along
I was standin' there wonderin', with my head hung down
I believe I'll call to the cargo, yes, yes, yeah, I'm gonna see if my baby's down
Oh, call to the cargo, see if my baby's down
My baby she might have got hung up people, Lord, if she could make it down
10,000 MANIACS lyrics - Shining Light
Something was pulling me
Without knowing what was leading me on:
Your shining light.
In my darkest hour the only way
To bring the dawn was
Your shining light.
But you're unaware
Your shining light is even on.
Like with a little glance
When you take me by surprise
And I take a chance
And I see it all through your eyes.
Free me from my history
And show me where to draw the line,
By lighting up the mystery,
And you don't even know that it shines.
I'm not worried now
About flying too close to the sun.
Your shining light.
When December skies are cold,
You know I will always run to
Your shining light.
I won't abuse it
So please just let it glow behind your smile.
Let me use it,
Let me feel the warmth like a little child
Who understands your glance,
Though it takes me by surprise.
And I take a chance
And I see it all through your eyes
It's your shining light.
WHITESNAKE lyrics - Rock An' Roll Angels
(David Coverdale & Micky Moody)
I'm gonna tell you
What is all about,
Why I scream an' I shout for you
I've been an' travelled
All around the world,
Teasin' lottsa pretty girls like you
Oh, I feel my heart beating heavy,
Banging like a big bass drum
An' all you blue jeans queens
Know exactly where I'm coming from,
I'm looking for some
Rock an' roll, rock an' roll,
Rock an' roll angels
Rock an' roll, rock an' roll,
Rock an' roll angels
I can't hide what I feel inside
Tho' I've tried an' I've tried
I can't fake it
I get in trouble everywhere I go,
'Cos I can't say no,
I gotta shake it
Oh, I feel my heart beating heavy,
Banging like a big bass drum
An' all you blue jeans queens
Know exactly where I'm coming from,
I'm looking for some
Rock an' roll, rock an' roll,
Rock an' roll angels
Rock an' roll, rock an' roll,
Rock an' roll angels
I feel my heart beating heavy,
Banging like a big bass drum
An' all you blue jeans queens
Know exactly where I'm coming from,
I'm looking for some
Rock an' roll, rock an' roll,
Rock an' roll angels...
THE BEATLES lyrics - You're Going To Lose That Girl
(Lennon/McCartney)
You're going to lose that girl
You're going to lose that girl
If you don't take her out tonight
She's going to change her mind
And I will take her out tonight
And I will treat her kind
You're going to lose that girl
You're going to lose that girl
If you don't treat her right, my friend
You're going to find her gone
Cos I will treat her right, and then
You'll be the lonely one
You're going to lose that girl
You're going to lose that girl
I'll make a point
Of taking her away from you, yeah
The way you treat her what else can I do?
You're going to lose that girl
You're going to lose that girl
I'll make a point
Of taking her away from you, yeah
The way you treat her what else can I do?
If you don't take her out tonight
She's going to change her mind
And I will take her out tonight
And I will treat her kind
You're going to lose that girl
You're going to lose that girl
You're going to lose that girl
BRYAN FERRY lyrics - Just One Look
Just one look and I fell so hard in love with you
I found out how good it feels to have your love
Say you will, will be mine forever and always
Just one look and I knew that you were my only one
I though I was dreaming but I was wrong
But I'm gonna keep on scheming till I make you my own
So you see I really care, without you I'm nothing
Just one look and I know I'll get you someday
Just one look
PETE TOWNSHEND lyrics - Driftin' Blues
I'm drifting and drifting, like a ship out on the sea
I'm drifting and drifting, like a ship out on the sea
Nobody seems to want me, except the wide open sea
My ship ain't got no captain, my ship ain't got no crew
My ship ain't got no captain, my ship ain't got no crew
Doin' that tide dare blow me, thier my passing few to do
I look around for a savior, who saves me from the hungry sea
I look around for a savior, who saves me from the hungry sea
Maybe he's down at the bottom, waiting patiently for me

THE KINGSTON TRIO lyrics - Last Thing On My Mind
(Tom Paxton)
It's a lesson too late for the learnin', made of sand, made of sand.
In a wink of an eye my soul is turnin' in your hand, in your hand.
[Chorus:]
Are you goin' away with no word of fare well; will there be not a trace left behind?
I could've loved you better. Didn't mean to be unkind. You know that was the last thing on my mind.
As I lie in my bed ev'ry mornin' without you, without you.
Each song in my heart dies a-bornin' without you, without you.
[Chorus]
You've got reason a-plenty for leavin'. This I know. This I know
For the weeds have been steadily growin'. Please, don't go. Aw, please, don't go.
[Chorus]
(Oh, yeah, I) could have loved you better. Didn't mean to be unkind. You know that was the last thing on my mind.
ELVIS PRESLEY lyrics - Heartbreak Hotel
(Mae B. Axton - Tommy Durden - Elvis Presley)
Well, since my baby left me,
I found a new place to dwell.
It's down at the end of lonely street
at Heartbreak Hotel.
You make me so lonely baby,
I get so lonely,
I get so lonely I could die.
And although it's always crowded,
you still can find some room.
Where broken hearted lovers
do cry away their gloom.
You make me so lonely baby,
I get so lonely,
I get so lonely I could die.
Well, the Bell hop's tears keep flowin',
and the desk clerk's dressed in black.
Well they been so long on lonely street
They ain't ever gonna look back.
You make me so lonely baby,
I get so lonely,
I get so lonely I could die.
Hey now, if your baby leaves you,
and you got a tale to tell.
Just take a walk down lonely street
to Heartbreak Hotel.
PAUL MCCARTNEY lyrics - Some People Never Know
No one else will ever see
how much faith you have in me,
Only fools would disagree that it's so,
Some people never know.
Like a fool I'm faraway,
ev'ry night I hope and pray
I'll be coming home to stay and it's so,
Some people never know.
Some people can sleep at nightime,
believing that love is a lie.
I'm only a preson like you, love,
and who in the world can be right
all the right time.
I know I was wrong, make me right, right.
Only love can stand the test,
only you outshine the rest,
Only fools take the rest,
Only fools take second best, but it's so,
Some people never know.

THE STEVE MILLER BAND lyrics - My Babe
(Willie Dixon)
My babe, she don't stand no cheatin', my babe
Oh no, she don't stand no cheatin', not my babe
Oh yes, she don't stand no cheatin'
She don't stand none of that midnight creepin'
My babe, true little baby
That's my babe, true little baby
My babe, I know she loves me, my babe
Oh yes, I know she loves me, my babe
Oh yes, I know she loves me
She don't do nothin' but kiss and hug me
My babe, true little baby
That's my babe, true little baby
My babe, she don't stand no foolin', my babe
Oh no, she don't stand no foolin', my babe
Oh no, she don't stand no foolin'
When she's hot there ain't no coolin'
My babe, true little baby
That's my babe, true little baby
She's my baby, true little baby
She's my babe, true little baby
She's my baby, true little baby
She's my babe, true little baby
THE HOLLIES lyrics - 48 Hour Parole
(Clarke / Sylvester / Hicks)
I'm gettin out and steppin' in
To somewhere where it's warmer
First come will be first served
You'd better put in your order
Been out in the cold far too long
Gonna set the town on fire (fire)
If you're not with me you better step aside
This boy's out for the kill kickin' higher
[Chorus:]
Oh 48 hour parole,
But I got to be a good boy
Oh 48 hour parole
Toein' the line ain't my style
And I ain't looking for trouble
I wasn't born I was carved out of stone
So don't try bustin' my bubble
[Chorus]
[Verse 1]
[Verse 2]
[Chorus 3x]
THE HOLLIES lyrics - All The World Is Love
In my secluded state my mind
Valued things are hard to find
My mind's gone I know not where
Left without a care
When my thoughts are takin' flight
Pen them down on sheets of white
Buildin' castles in the air
Left without a care
In a crowded room alone
That's where you'll find me
I have left my mind somewhere
Floatin' behind me
Blue skies white clouds to be seen
Wish my mind could be as clean
As the clouds that swim above
All the world is love
In a crowded room alone
That's where you'll find me
I have left my mind somewhere
Floatin' behind me
Bubbles formin' all around
Left my body on the ground
Unattached too hard to move
All the world is love
All the world is love
All the world is love
BRYAN ADAMS lyrics - 18 Til I Die
Wanna be young - the rest of my life
Never say no - try anything twice
Til the angels come - and ask me to fly
Gonna be 18 til I die - 18 til I die
Can't live forever - that's wishful thinkin'
Who ever said that - must of bin' drinkin'
Don't wanna grow up - I don't see why
I couldn't care less if time flies by
18 til I die - gonna be 18 til I die
Ya it sure feels good to be alive
Someday I'll be 18 goin' on 55! - 18 til I die
Anyway - I just wanna say
Why bother with what happened yesterday
It's not my style - I live for the minute
If ya wanna stay young - get both feet in it - 18 til I die
A 'lil bit of this - a 'lil bit of that
'Lil bit of everything - gotta get on track
It's not how ya look, it's what ya feel inside
I don't care when - I don't need ta know why
18 til I die - gonna be 18 til I die
Ya it sure feels good to be alive
Someday I'll be 18 goin' on 55! - 18 til I die
Ya there's one thing for sure - I'm sure gonna try
Don't worry 'bout the future
Forget about the past
Gonna have a ball - ya we're gonna have a blast
Gonna make it last
WOODY GUTHRIE lyrics - Ninety Mile Wind
Tonight is a night I'll walk in the wind
And listen to stuff I can write
The radio says a ninety mile wind
Will whip old New York town tonight.
Well I did walk and the wind did come
And I got to see who was the toughest
New York town or the high blowing wind
And I found out New York was the roughest.
This town has stood up in the face of things
Lots worse than a ninety mile wind
It's not bad storms I'm afraid of today
But the greed that our leaders walk in.
I'll walk along the boardwalk rail
And feel and hear this ninety mile gale
I can hear the ocean mourn and groan
And I wonder about ships lost out in this storm
So come on wind and blow out your brains
Blow like a cyclone across the flat plains
This is just an echo of our world wide storm
That's ripping away our balls and our chains.
Blow you little hurricane blow blow blow
I can see the Ferris Wheel and the parachute jump
And the men and women in overalls holding Coney Island's rides down
And I sometimes wonder what we do between blows
That is half as much fun as Coney Island or New York town
In a ninety or a hundred miles an hour storm.
And I remember that nature fights against all of man
And that man fights against all of nature
And that everything bites and fights every other thing
And that hurricanes do blow
And will blow
Some harder than others

SPARKS lyrics - Lost And Found
Lost and found, a wallet from a man, careless man, careless man
Too bad, too bad, too bad, too bad
Lost and found, a wallet from a man, careless man, careless man
And all the streets are paved tonight, and we won't be their slaves tonight
And I ain't gonna feel bad at all, feel bad at all
Lost and found, a wallet from a man, careless man, careless man
Too bad, too bad, too bad, too bad
Lost and found, a wallet from a man, careless man, careless man
He's Robin Hood by accident
I need it more than he does and
I surely will not feel bad at all, feel bad at all, feel bad at all, feel bad at all, feel
bad at all, feel bad at all
Lost and found, a wallet from a man, careless man, careless man
Oh is there anybody out there by the name of Mister Jones?
No? No? Well, I tried
Lost and found, lost and found, lost and found, lost and found
Lost and found, a wallet from a man, careless man, careless man
Too bad, too bad, too bad, too bad
Lost and found, a wallet from a man, careless man, careless man
We sailed across the Barbary Sea, with Nina, Pinto, and Marie
And none of us will feel bad at all, feel bad at all, feel bad at all, feel bad at all,
feel bad at all, feel bad at all, feel bad at
all
Yes, all the streets are paved tonight, and we won't be their slaves tonight
And I ain't gonna feel bad at all, feel bad at all
Lost and found, lost and found, lost and found, lost and found
FAITH NO MORE lyrics - We Care A Lot
We care a lot
About disasters, fires, floods and killer bees
About Los Angeles falling in the sea
About starvation and the food that Live Aid bought
About disease, baby, Rock Hudson, Rock...Yeah!
We care a lot
About the gamblers and the pushers and the freaks
About the people who live off the street
About the welfare of all the boys and girls
About you people cause we're out to save the world
Yeah!
And it's a dirty job but someone's got to do it!
We care a lot
About the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines
About the NY, SF, and LAPD
About you people, about your guns
About the wars you're fighting
Gee, that looks like fun
We care a lot
About the Cabbage Patch, The Smurfs, and DMC
About Madonna and we cop for Mr. T
About the little things, the bigger things we top
About you people, yeah, you bet we care a lot
And it's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it....
JOAN BAEZ lyrics - Lincoln Freed Me Today (The Slave)
(D. Patton)
Been a slave most all my life
So's my kids, and so's my wife
I've been working on the Colonel's farm
Ain't been mistreated, ain't done no harm
I'll be a slave to my grave
No need of me being free
Recollect when I was just fourteen
Freedom used to be my biggest dream
I'm older now, lot wiser too
If I was free what would I do
The Colonel's been right good to me
He's taken care of my family
The Colonel rode the buggy in from town
Hitched the horse and called us all around
Said he couldn't keep us here no more
I saw a tear as he walked toward the door
Oh Dear God, what did he say?
Now I am free to go my way

CHRIS DE BURGH lyrics - In A Country Churchyard (Let Your Love Shine On)
In a country churchyard there's a preacher with his people,
Gathered all around to join a man and woman,
Spring is here and turtledoves are singing from the steeple,
Bees are in the flowers, growing in the graveyard,
And over the hill, where the river meets the mill,
A lovely girl is coming down,
To give her hand upon her wedding day...
Dressed in simple white and wearing flowers in her hair,
Music as she walks slowly to the altar,
And picking up his bible then the preacher turns towards her,
"Will you take this man to be your wedded husband,
to honour and love in the eyes of God above,
Now let the people sing with me,
These words to live forever in your heart... Let your love shine on,
For we are the stars in the sky,
Let your love shine strong,
Until the day you fly away" Many years have fallen on that golden country morning,
The graveyard's overgrown, the church lies in ruins,
Ivy on the walls and ravens wheeling round above me,
As I made my way towards the last remaining headstone,
I fell to my knees, read the lines beneath the leaves,
And suddenly it seemed to me,
I heard the words like singing in the trees... Let your love shine on,
For we are the stars in the sky,
Let your love shine strong,
Until the day you fly...
Let your love shine on,
For we are the stars in the sky,
Let your love shine strong,
Until the day you fly away...

NINE INCH NAILS lyrics - Hurt (Quiet)
I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything
What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
I wear my crown of shit
On my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stain of time
The feeling disappears
You are someone else
I am still right here
What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way
VAN MORRISON lyrics - Cry For Home
I'll be waiting
I'll be waiting on that shore
To hear the cry for home
You won't have to worry anymore
When you hear the cry for home
When you hear, hear the call
You won't have to fake at all
Hear the cry for home
I'll be standing
I'll be standing within reach
When you hear, hear the call
I'll be waiting
I'll be waiting in the breach
For you, when you hear
When you hear, hear the call
You won't have to fake at all
Hear the cry for home
[Instrumental]
When I listen
When I listen to the song
Well it feels, it feels so free
And you tell me
You will come and go with me
When you hear the cry for home
When you hear the call
You won't have to think at all
Hear the cry for home
spoken (one more, one more time)
When you hear, hear the call
You won't have to fake at all
Hear the cry for home
(One more open it up, open it up) (spoken)
When you hear, hear the call
You won't have to fake at all
Hear the cry for home
Hear (When you hear, hear the call)
Hear (When you hear, hear the call)
Hear (When you hear, hear the call)
Hear (When you hear, hear the call)
Hear (When you hear, hear the call)
Hear (When you hear, hear the call)
REBA MCENTIRE lyrics - Red Roses (Won't Work Now)
(Jimbeau Hinson/David Murphy)
Red roses just won't work now
Here we go us again
You've been gone and here you stand
With a dozen I'm sorry's in your hand
Victim of your podent charms
I took you back with open arms
But along with the roses came the thorns
And that's why red roses just won't work now
Cause you've done too much
To talk things out
You could tell me you love me
But that's the one thing I'll always doubt
Red roses just won't work now
Gone for good's the trust I had
You let me done the garden path
Just too many times to take you back
So faith is why don't you
Save the roses for you know who
I already know how long they'll last
And that's why red roses just won't work now
Cause you've done too much
To talk things out
You could tell me you love me
But that's the one thing I'll always doubt
Red roses just won't work now

U2 lyrics - A Day Without Me
Starting a landslide in my ego
Look from the outside
To the world I left behind
I'm dreaming
You're awake
If I were sleeping
What's at stake
A day without me
Whatever the feelings
I keep feeling
What are the feelings
You left behind
Today's a day without me
I started a landslide in my ego
Look from the outside
To the world I left behind
In the world I left behind
Wipe their eyes, and then let go
To the world I left behind
Shed a tear, and then let go...
EURYTHMICS lyrics - Aqua
Don't touch me
Don't talk to me about it
Don't touch me
Don't talk to me - ever again
I don't feel anything
All sensation is closed to me
I saw you put the needle in
(I can still see) everything
Take me to a quiet place
Throw me in the water
Watch the bubbles surface as
I'm slowly sinking under

MICHAEL MCDONALD lyrics - Blink Of An Eye
(George Perilli And Michael McDonald)
Child, as I look in your eyes
You know my life seems like a minute
There I find living proof
Of all the wonder life hold in it
In the past I thought I had to learn
Any good that comes from this life we're living
Here and now, let us realize
That this life's gift and it's already been given
[Chorus:]
Someday when you stand in the middle
Like it or not you're gonna look both ways
You're gonna find that time is a riddle
Where days turn into years
And years into the blink of an eye
Child, once I saw a man on the tv
Lead a nation up a mountain
He said, children, look over yonder
The flame of truth is burning brightly
Sometimes you look so far, there's only so much time
Only so many of us are gonna get there
Here and now is all we really have
But if we can make it count
We got no reason to worry
[Chorus]
You're gonna walk that mile
You're gonna be in that number
You're gonna make that journey
Just like the good book says
There's a time to be born, a time to cross over
You can be sure it's in the blink of an eye
JOHN (COUGAR) MELLENCAMP lyrics - Small Paradise
Two veteran lovers french kiss in the doorway
Their ears are cold but their hearts are so warm
A country band playin' down the street just a little ways
They're whiskey wild, they keep it up until dawn
[Chorus:]
Small Paradise
I glad to see everything's alright with you
Alright then hold me tight - kiss me
Small Paradise
A neon sign blinks outside in the pouring rain
It's ladies night free drinks until 10
Some people walk on by, hey girl don't
I know you, won't you come on in
Well it ain't love but it ain't bad
[Chorus 2x]

BOY GEORGE lyrics - Siempre Te Amare
I give her lovin' everyday
And in my heart I always say
There's not enough love in this world
For you and me girl
I climb the mountains to your heart
I swim the seas that would keep us apart
I wait at night for you to come
You are the moon
You are the sun
siempre te amare
siempre te amare
amare amare
I give my love to you and say
Oh won't you take this pain away
Don't leave me here to die alone
'Cause you are everything I own
I give my love away to you
Is that a foolish thing to do
I walk the streets
I call your name
Don't turn our love into a game
GALE STORM lyrics - Dark Moon
Dark moon, a way up high up in the sky
Oh, tell me why, oh, tell me why you've lost your splendor
Dark moon, what is the cause your light withdraws
Is it because, is it because I've lost my love
Mortals have dreams of love's perfect schemes
But they don't realize that love will sometimes bring a
Dark moon, a way up high up in the sky
Oh, tell me why, oh, tell me why you've lost your splendor
Dark moon, what is the cause your light withdraws
Is it because, is it because I've lost my love
Mortals have dreams of love's perfect schemes
But they don't realize that love will sometimes bring a
Dark moon, a way up high up in the sky
Oh, tell me why, oh, tell me why you've lost your splendor
Dark moon, what is the cause your light withdraws
Is it because, is it because I've lost my love
KANSAS lyrics - Distant Vision
On a night as I lay sleeping, in a dream I saw the shore of a distant land where
Promise lay in wait
And I heard the sound of voices of a million hungry souls
Now it comes to me to lead them to the gate
But I am just a man, not worthy of this plan
With a strength that's not my own,
Imust rise
And I...will bear the light, (and the vision leads me onward)
That blind....men have their sight
I'd sail a thousand seas to make it so
To the Kings I gave the mission, in the hope that they would share
In the joy of setting countless captives free
But the lust for Gold and power, is luring us away
From a calling that began in purity
And 'm still just a man, not worthy of this plan
With a strength that's not my own, I must rise
Now a tempest rages in my heart, as this fever furies on
Soon these islands promise rest and hope, my answers wait beyond their shore
Dream on...
Hungry eyes are standing on the sand, they beckon us to bring the tide
Sovereign hand must hold me now, I plead with you
Be my soloace and my guide... by my side
And I...will walk with you
On the shores of the land ofpromise
That blind... men see you too
I'd sail a thousand seas to make it so
BONNIE TYLER lyrics - The Streets Of Stone
(Paul D. Fitzgerald - Bonnie Tyler / Paul D. Fitzgerald - St. James ll - John Stage)
On these streets of stone
You might see her walking
All the time alone
She just got tired of talking
As she passes by, you might just get lucky
If you catch her eye
You might see a smile
In a world gone quite mad
She is quietly laughing
For all the good times she's had
Most of us don't get near
She has danced with them all
The short and the tall
The rich - and the famous ones
The poor - and the nameless ones
On these streets of stone
You might hear her singing
All the time alone
It's just her way of bringing
Her past to the fore
She remembers it all
When they shouted "Encore"
Then the curtain did fall
She has sung for them all
In theaters and halls
The rich - and the famous ones
The poor - and the blameless ones
On these streets of stone
You might see her walking
All the time alone
She's just got tired - of talking
VAN HALEN lyrics - Could This Be Magic?
You ready? (Yeah)
One, two, one, two, three, four
Out upon the islands on a cool summer night
Buddy, you don't got to hurry, take your time
What you need is on the menu and you get it tonight
Buddy, you got womens on your mind
Could this be magic? Or could this be love?
Could this turn tragic? You know that magic often does
And I see lonely ships upon the water
Better save the women and children first
Sail away with someone's daughter
Better save the women and children first
I hear music on the landin' an' there's laughter in the air
Just could be your boat is comin' in
Yeah you're leanin' back an' yeah, a foot tappin'
Ain't got your head right
There's a full moon out tonight. Baby, let's begin
And she said "Could this be magic? Or could this be love?" Uh, oh
An' I said "Could this turn tragic? You know that magic often does"
And I see lonely ships upon the water
Better save the women and children first
Sail away with someone's daughter
Better save the women and children first
Edward? Thank you
(Guitar Solo)
(Was)
And she said "Could this be magic? Or, could this be love?"
And I said "Could this turn tragic? You know that magic often does"
N' I see lonely ships upon the water
Better save the women and children first
Sail away with someone's daughter
Better save the women and children first. Yes, ah

NATALIE MERCHANT lyrics - Sally Ann
(Jeff Claus)
A woman of beauty
A woman of pain
In France or Jakarta
Her shadow's the same
You go home with Sally Ann
You go home with Sally Ann
You go home
A woman of kindness
With bracelets of jade
In China, in Japan
Choices are made
You go home with Sally Ann
You go home with Sally Ann
You go home
A woman of chances
With no family or friends
In Argentina
She knows only men
You go home with Sally Ann
You go home with Sally Ann
You go home
A woman of color
With debts to be paid
In Trenton or Detroit
She lives by the blade
You go home with Sally Ann
You go home with Sally Ann
You go home
THE ROLLING STONES lyrics - Can't Be Seen
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
I just can't be seen with you
I admit it anyway
I just got obscene with you
I don't stand a chance with you
I never did anyway
I can't even sleep with you
I'd always be awake
I just can't be seen with you
It's for your own sake
You're better off anyway
It's too dangerous baby
It's too dangerous
It's too dangerous
I just can't be seen with you
They set us up so they can shoot us down
Put us six feet underground
It's just too deep for me baby
I just can't be seen with you
Although it hurts me to say
Yeah it was just a dream with you
Yeah because you're married anyway
Oh shit
Babe I don't stand a chance with you
Oh you're better off this way
It's hit and run away
It's just too dangerous baby
I just can't be, yes I got to chill this thing with you
I just can't be
It's just too dangerous baby
Baby, it's just too much for me
I just can't be
I just can't be seen nowhere around you baby
I just can't be
It's too dangerous--it's just too dangerous baby
Even in the dark
I just can't be
Yeah I got to chill with you
I just can't be
SONIC YOUTH lyrics - New Hampshire
Trace paper fly onward
Trace paper fly onward
Wake? city's too high
City skew high-upt (?)
Kill us your scumbag youths
Kill us your scumbag youths
Youths
Johnny winter
Johnny winter no-show
B. B. King just turns on
The New Hampshire boys
Steve and Joe
They're gonna be on?
They're doin' it for life
On my girly gut? who has
Decimitated love with that?
With one hypertonic
Melt the lead on (?)
Lead-on?
JOHN (COUGAR) MELLENCAMP lyrics - To M. G. (Wherever She May Be)
I was watching a movie the other night on T. V.
The actress reminded me of you
Her attitude, the way that she smiled
She was doin' a part girl, like you used to do
I do believe you played it better
If it wasn't better, it was just as strong
I would've called you up on the telephone that night
But somehow girl, it'd been all wrong
I heard you married a stranger
In a horse and carriage that was covered with gold
Well, you wanted to be different and still fit in
I wonder if you feel different at all now that you're older
Hope you didn't lose that innocent laughter
Oh, God I hope time didn't take that away
All those junior high nights underneath the front porch light
A good Catholic girl during the day
[Chorus:]
Oh, oh just watching the time grow
Old enough to know that these memories can't hurt a thing
Oh, oh just watching the time grow
If I saw you today, girl I wouldn't even know ya
Well I know it wasn't that big of a love affair
But boy, it sure seemed like one back then
When I parlay the memories into their proper places
I can see now we were no more than friends
Ooh your kisses sure tasted sweet
But I guess any kiss tastes sweet at fifteen
I just hope your touch is as warm to your ol' man
As it seemed like it was to me
[Chorus]
FLEETWOOD MAC lyrics - No Place To Go
How many more year - have you got to wreck my life
How many more year - have you got to wreck my life
Well, the way you done me, gonna wreck my life
How many more time - you gonna treat me like you do
How many more time - you gonna treat me like you do
You spend all my money, all my lovin' too
Now I'm old and grey - Got no place to go
Now I'm old and grey - Got no place to go
You got yourself a youngster, you can't stand me no more
THIN LIZZY lyrics - Warriors
I am the warrior
I serve the death machine
Losers or conquerors
All flash past on my silver screen
Death is no easy answer
For those who wish to know
Ask those who have been before you
What fate the future holds
It ain't pretty...
I am a messenger
The message here, you must know
I am the warrior
I deliver the fatal blow
So fate will have to wait
Till time can heal the scar
My heart is ruled by Venus
And my head by Mars

BONNIE RAITT lyrics - Mighty Tight Woman
I come to you, sweet man
And I'm, I'm fallin' on my knees
I come to you, pretty papa
Fallin' on my knees
Ask if you don't have nobody
Won't you kindly take me please
Cause I'm a mighty tight woman
I'm a real tight woman
Lord I'm a jack of all trades
I can be your sweet woman
Also be your slave
Lord I can do things so good
You will swear that I behave
I got all of them sayin'
That I'm tight in everything I do
I got all the men cryin'
I'm a broad that will never be blue
What I need is a good man
And I will make him happy too
If you're a married man
You ain't got no business here
Cause when you're out with me
I might make your wife shed a tear
Cause I'm a mighty tight woman
There is nothing, nothing that I fear
BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN lyrics - Adam Raised A Cain
In the summer that I was baptized,
My father held me to his side,
As they put me to the water,
He said how on that day I cried.
We were prisoners of love, a love in chains,
He was standin' in the door, I was standin' in the rain,
with the same hot blood burning in our veins,
Adam raised a Cain.
All of the old faces,
Ask you why you're back,
They fit you with position,
And the keys to your daddy's Cadillac,
In the darkness of your room,
Your mother calls you by your true name,
You remember the faces, the places, the names,
You know it's never over, it's relentless as the rain,
Adam raised a Cain.
In the Bible Cain slew Abel
And East of Eden he was cast,
You're born into this life paying,
for the sins of somebody else's past,
Daddy worked his whole life, for nothing but the pain,
Now he walks these empty rooms, looking for something to blame,
You inherit the sins, you inherit the flames,
Adam raised a Cain.
Lost but not forgotten, from the dark heart of a dream,
Adam raised a Cain.
THE CLASH lyrics - First Night Back In London
(The Clash)
The minI cab
The driver is black
This time of night
You better sit in the back
Got a few smokes
Under your hat
The cops are lookin' out
For the petrol on the black
This time I think
So what the hell
There's that female
I know too well
Why should I lean
Get out my mind again
I ridin' in the back alone
The stranger rides again
To see my lovely town
That always brings you down
Where every drifter drifts
For many miles around
We take a casual drive
For two miles up the road
The cops pull us over
And search right through our clothes
They give him hell
They check him on the air
I sit there with the drugs in my hair
As soon as I get home
I call Heathrow
Want a standby fare to Borneo
TOTO lyrics - Slipped Away
You're a soul with no religion
There's ice in your embrace
In your dance of indecision
I see the anger in your face
A little drink to help my vision
A little something for the pain
There's no drug for my condition
There's no sweetness in the taste
Tell me where the ride's gonna lead you
Do I have to pay to be your friend?
There's nothing left to say
When you slipped away
I can see you fading fast
I won't let you take me
When you slipped away
I can see your burning stare
Nothing's gonna shake me
As you slip away
You're a world of blind ambition
Staring through the looking glass
You will meet your own collision
When your conscience comes to ask
Steal the love from those around you
Help yourself to everything
Take the shelter that surrounds you
It leaves you standing in the rain
Tell me if the money can heal you
Do I have to pray to make it end?
There's nothing left to say
When you slipped away
I can see you fading fast
I won't let you take me
When you slipped away
I can see your burning stare
Nothing's gonna shake me
As you slip away
[Instrumental brake]
When you slipped away
I can see your burning stare
Nothing's gonna shake me
As you slip away
I can see you fading fast
I won't let you take me
I can see your burning stare
Nothing's gonna shake me
As you slip away

BEE GEES lyrics - Odessa
Fourteenth of February, eighteen ninety nine.
The British ship Veronica was lost without a sign.
Baa baa black sheep, you haven't any wool.
Captain Richardson left himself a lonely wife in Hull.
Cherub, I lost a ship in the Baltic sea.
I'm on an iceberg running free.
Sitting, filing this berg to the shape of a ship;
Sailing my way back to your lips.
One passing ship gave word that you have moved out of your old flat.
You love the Vicar more then words can say.
Tell him to pray that I won't melt away.
And I'll see your face again.
Odessa, How strong am I?
Odessa, How time goes by.
Treasure, you know the neighbours that live next door.
They haven't got their dog anymore.
Freezing, sailing around in the North Atlantic.
Can't seem to leave the sea anymore.
I just can't understand why you just moved to Finland.
You love that Vicar more then words can say.
Ask him to pray that I won't melt away.
And I'll see your face again.
Odessa, How strong am I?
Odessa, How time goes by.
Fourteenth of February, eighteen ninety nine.
The British ship Veronica was lost without a sign.

BRYAN FERRY lyrics - Where Or When
(Rogers and Hart)
It seems we stood and talked like this, before
We looked at each other in the same way then
But I can't remember where or when
The clothes you're wearing are the clothes you wore
The smile you are smiling you were smiling then
But I can't remember where or when
Some things that happened for the first time
Seem to be happening again
And so it seems that we have met before
And that we laughed before, also loved before
But who knows where or when
KYLIE MINOGUE lyrics - Cowboy Style
Shed my skin since you came in
Where do you end and I begin?
Awoke my senses yet you stopped time
You took me to a deeper high
The essence of my hopes and fears
Creation of my muddled dreams
Cowboy style with a peaceful smile
You are from the temple won't you stay a while
From my voice to have my say
You take me close to far away
And now I find and now I feel
The ordinary is surreal
Peace and terror all in one
My future life has just begun
Cowboy style with a peaceful smile
You are from the temple won't you stay a while
I am frightened I'm aroused
I'm enlightened to the now
Cowboy style with a peaceful smile
You are from the temple won't you stay a while

STING lyrics - Bethlehem Down
When he is King we will give him the Kings' gifts,
Myrrh for its sweetness, and gold for a crown,
Beautiful robes," said the young girl to Joseph,
Fair with her first-born on Bethlehem Down.
Bethlehem Down is full of the starlight -
Winds for the spices, and stars for the gold,
Mary for sleep, and for lullaby music
Songs of a shepherd by Bethlehem fold.
When he is King they will clothe him in grave-sheets,
Myrrh for embalming, and wood for a crown,
He that lies now in the white arms of Mary,
Sleeping so lightly on Bethlehem Down.
Here he has peace and a short while for dreaming,
Close-huddled oxen to keep him from cold,
Mary for love, and for lullaby music
Songs of a shepherd by Bethlehem fold.

PETE TOWNSHEND lyrics - All Lovers Are Deranged (Pete's Version)
It takes a fool to phone a fool
When they both have said it all
We make the rule and bemoan the rule
That neither soul should call
But love that was is love that is
Demands to always be unchanged
But then all lovers are deranged.
We walk away with memories
And clutch them to our hearts
We disembodied entities
We love in fits and starts
For love like wine intoxicates
It drives all of you drink insane
But then all lovers are deranged.
You know that you don't really fall in love
Unless you're seventeen
Then break your word let your spirits fly
But you can't know what it means
Unless you're seventeen.
It takes a fight to start a fight, and differences remain
We have the right to think we're right, we're addicts feigning shame
For love recalled, is love reborn, we're determined to revive the pain
But then all lovers are deranged.
All lovers are deranged
It takes a fool to phone a fool
When they both have said it all
We make the rule bemoan the rule
That neither soul should call
THE OFFSPRING lyrics - Staring At The Sun
Maybe life is like a ride on a freeway
Dodging bullets while you're trying to find your way
Everyone's around, but no one does a damn thing
It brings me down, but I won't let them
If I seem bleak
Well you'd be correct
And if I don't speak
It's cause I can't disconnect
But I won't be burned by the reflection
Of the fire in your eyes
As you're staring at the sun
When I ran I didn't feel like a runaway
When I escaped I didn't feel like I got away
There's more to living than only surviving
Maybe I'm not there, but I'm still trying
Though you hear me
I don't think that you relate
My will is something
That you can't confiscate
So forgive me, but I won't be frustrated
By destruction in your eyes
As you're staring at the sun
DEPECHE MODE lyrics - Leave In Silence
I've told myself so many times before
But this time I think I mean it for sure
We have reached a full stop
Nothing's going to save us from the big drop
Reached our natural conclusion
Outlived the illusion
I hate being in these situations
That call for diplomatic relations
If I only knew the answer
Or I thought we had a chance
Or I could stop this
I would stop this thing
From spreading like a cancer
What can I say
I don't want to play anymore
What can I say
I'm heading for the door
I can't stand this emotional violence
Leave in silence
Leave in silence
We've been running around in circles all year
Doing this and that and getting nowhere
This will be the last time
I think I said that last time
If I only had a potion
Some magical lotion
That could stop this
I would set the wheels in motion
NICK CAVE AND THE BAD SEEDS lyrics - There She Goes, My Beautiful World
The wintergreen, the juniper
The cornflower and the chicory
All the words you said to me
Still vibrating in the air
The elm, the ash and the linden tree
The dark and deep, enchanted sea
The trembling moon and the stars unfurled
There she goes, my beautiful world
There she goes, my beautiful world
There she goes, my beautiful world
There she goes, my beautiful world
There she goes again
John Willmot, penned his poetry riddled with the pox
Nabakov wrote on index cards, at a lectern, in his socks
St. John of the Cross did his best stuff imprisoned in a box
And Johnny Thunders was half alive when he wrote Chinese Rocks
Well, me, I'm lying here, with nothing in my ears
Me, I'm lying here, with nothing in my ears
Me, I'm lying here, for what seems years
I'm just lying on my bed with nothing in my head
Send that stuff on down to me
Send that stuff on down to me
Send that stuff on down to me
Send that stuff on down to me
There she goes, my beautiful world
There she goes, my beautiful world
There she goes, my beautiful world
There she goes again
Karl Marx squeezed his carbuncles while writing Das Kapital
And Gaugin, he buggered off, man, and went all tropical
While Philip Larkin stuck it out in a library in Hull
And Dylan Thomas died drunk in St Vincent's hospital
I will kneel at your feet
I will lie at your door
I will rock you to sleep
I will roll on the floor
And I'll ask for nothing
Nothing in this life
I'll ask for nothing
Give me ever-lasting life
I just want to move the world
I just want to move the world
I just want to move the world
I just want to move
There she goes, my beautiful world
There she goes, my beautiful world
There she goes, my beautiful world
There she goes again
So if you got a trumpet, get on your feet, brother, and blow it
If you've got a field, that don't yield, well get up and hoe it
I look at you and you look at me and deep in our hearts know it
That you weren't much of a muse, but then I weren't much of a poet
I will be your slave
I will peel you grapes
Up on your pedestal
With your ivory and apes
With your book of ideas
With your alchemy
O Come on
Send that stuff on down to me
Send that stuff on down to me
Send that stuff on down to me
Send that stuff on down to me
Send that stuff on down to me
Send it all around the world
Cause here she comes my beautiful girl
There she goes my beautiful world
There she goes, my beautiful world
There she goes my beautiful world
There she goes again

THE CHURCH lyrics - Don't Open The Door To Strangers
Don't open the door to strangers
Don't let them in to your heart
They only want to take you far from me
Don't open the door tonight
Don't trust the man in the windows
Don't let him buy all your dreams
He only wants to make them all his own
Don't open the door tonight
See the angry sea, it's a sign for me
There's another shore, what we waiting for
Feel the wind is sad, all the things I had
Blown away and falling around me
Don't leave your thoughts unguarded
Don't let them float where they will
They never tell me what I want to know
Don't open the door tonight

PINK FLOYD lyrics - The Thin Ice
Momma loves her baby
And Daddy loves you too
And the sea may look warm to you Babe
And the sky may look blue
Ooooh Babe
Ooooh Baby Blue
Ooooh Babe
If you should go skating
On the thin ice of modern life
Dragging behind you the silent reproach
Of a million tear stained eyes
Don't be surprised, when a crack in the ice
Appears under your feet
You slip out of your depth and out of your mind
With your fear flowing out behind you
As you claw the thin ice
ALICE COOPER lyrics - Luney Tune
I slipped into my jeans
Lookin' hard and feelin' mean
I took a spit at the moon
It's all in this luney tune
Just a little insane
A couple of shots, I can't feel no pain
Hey, where have I been?
And who are these scary men?
Is this all real?
Is this all necessary?
Or it this a joke?
Many know
I don't regret at all
They locked me up for good
Pinned me against the wall
I can't find the exit
I quit lookin' for doors
I stole a razor from the commissary
I just couldn't take it no more
I'm swimmin' in blood
Like a rat on a sewer floor
No longer insane
Just part of this crazy dream
BOB DYLAN lyrics - Subterranean Homesick Blues
Johny's in the basement
Mixing up the medicine
I'm on the pavement
Thinking about the government
The man in the trench coat
Badge out, laid off
Says he's got a bad cough
Wants to get it paid off
Look out kid
It's somethin' you did
God knows when
But you're doin' it again
You better duck down the alley way
Lookin' for a new friend
The man in the coon-skip cap
In the big pen
Wants eleven dollar bills
You only got ten.
Maggie comes fleet foot
Face full of black soot
Talkin' that the heat put
Plants in the bed but
The phone's tapped anyway
Maggie says that many say
They must bust in early May
Orders from the DA
Look out kid
Don't matter what you did
Walk on your tip toes
Don't try, 'No Doz'
Better stay away from those
That carry around a fire hose
Keep a clean nose
Watch the plain clothes
You don't need a weather man
To know which way the wind blows.
Get sick, get well
Hang around an ink well
Ring bell, hard to tell
If anything is goin' to sell
Try hard, get barred
Get back, write Braille
Get jailed, jump bail Join the army, if you failed
Look out kid
You're gonna get hit
But users, cheaters
Six-time losers
Hang around the theaters
Girl by the whirlpool
Lookin' for a new fool
Don't follow leaders
Watch the parkin' meters.
Ah get born, keep warm
Short pants, romance, learn to dance
Get dressed, get blessed
Try to be a success
Please her, please him, buy gifts
Don't steal, don't lift
Twenty years of schoolin'
And they put you on the day shift
Look out kid
They keep it all hid
Better jump down a manhole
Light yourself a candle
Don't wear sandals
Try to avoid the scandals
Don't wanna be a bum
You better chew gum
The pump don't work
'Cause the vandals took the handles.

ROBERT PLANT lyrics - Killing The Blues
(Rowland Salley)
Leaves were falling, just like embers,
In colors red and gold, they set us on fire
Burning just like moonbeams in our eyes.
[Chorus:]
Somebody said they saw me, swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over a white cloud, killing the blues.
Now I'm guilty of something...
I hope you never do
Because there is nothing
Any sadder than losing yourself in love.
[Chorus]
And then you've ask me... just to leave you
To set out on my own
And get what I needed.
You want me to find what I've already had.
[Chorus 2x]
LINDA RONSTADT lyrics - Party Girl
(Elvis Costello)
They say I'm nothing but a party girl
Just like a million more all over the world
I know I shouldn't be raising my hopes so high
But I have seen the hungry look in their eyes
They'd settle for anything in disguise of love
Seen the party girls look you over
Seen them leaving when the party's over
They can't touch me now
You say you don't mind
We're so hard to find
I could give you anything but time
Give it just one more try
Give it a chance
Starts like fascination
Ends up like a trance
You'll never be the guilty party will you
Maybe someday we can go hiding from this world
Maybe I'll never get over this change in style
But I don't want to lock you up and say you're mine
Don't want to lose you or say good-bye
I'm the guilty party and I want my slice
But I know you've got me in a grip-like vise
They can't touch me now
You say you don't mind
We're so hard to find
I could give you anything
I would give you anything
I can give you anything but time
Time
Time
Time
JANE'S ADDICTION lyrics - Had A Dad
Had a dad
Big and strong
Turned around
Found my daddy gone
He was the one
Made me what I am today
It's up to me now
My daddy has gone away...
Well I spoke to the mountain
I listened to the sea
Both told me that the fountain
Was the best that you could be
My daddy's hand it growed
Show to the lickin
Sonny boy
Grow to whip him!
If you see my dad
Tell him my brothers
All gone mad
They're beating on each other
I walked around
Even tried to call
Got that funny feeling
He's not there
At all...
JOHN (COUGAR) MELLENCAMP lyrics - R. Gang
Oow, hahaha ha
Well now to live in this world
Sometimes you gotta get touch
I got me a bunch of boys when the going gets rough
Someone to lean on when their calling my bluff
Someone to.....
Talking about R. Gang, R. Gang, R. Gang, R. Gang, R. Gang, R. Gang
There were only your friends who died??
Well now the boy wanna run out with the boys tonight
And the girls are on the corner in a fashion show all right
I got their allmoter dead on my right
You better get great protect on this cool old night
Talking about R. Gang, R. Gang, R. Gang, R. Gang, R. Gang, R. Gang
There were only your friends who died??
Well now, if there's a moral to be told
Its just that, growin' up is to growin' old
And when the asses say yeah, I'm doing all right
Well I got my bunch of boys, its Saturday night
Talking about R. Gang, R. Gang, R. Gang, R. Gang, R. Gang, R. Gang
There were only your friends who died, yeah??
BARBRA STREISAND lyrics - Non C'est Rien
(M. Jourdan, A. Canfora & J. Baselli)
Non, c'est rien
Aussi peu, croyez le bien
Ca ira mieux des demain
Avec le temps qui passe
Dans la vie tout s'efface
Non, c'est rien
A qui bon tendre vos mains
Je n'ai pas tant de chagrin
C'est vous qui etes tristes
Mes amis, partez vite
Laissez moi cette nuit
Sortez, mais sans moi
Allez boire a ma sante
Rapportez votre pitie
Vous me faites rire, bien rire...
Non, c'est rien
Aussi peu croyez le bien
Cet amour n'etait plus rien
D'autre qu'une habitude
J'en ai la certitude
Non, c'est rien
Ce garcon, moi j'ai le plains
Ne croyez pas que demain
Une seule seconde
Je serai seule au monde
Laissez, laissez-moi cette nuit
Sortez mais sans moi
Allez boire a mes amours
A tous mes futurs amours
Mes prochains je t'aime...Je t'aime...
Laissez-moi et ne croyez pas surtout pas
Que je vais pleurer pour ca
Suel mon coeur n'y comprend rien
Mais a part ca rien, rien
Non c'est rien, aussi peu croyez le bien
Je n'ai pas tant de chagrin
Je n'ai pas tant de chagrin
Non c'est rien...Non c'est rien
Rien!
THE FACES lyrics - Richmond
(Ronnie Lane)
I wish I
I wish I was in Richmond
I do, I would I
I wish I
I wish I was back home
I'm waitin'
Here in New York City
The rain is falling
There's no one who cares
There's no one loves me here
The women
They may look very pretty
And some they know it
But some look good
They show a leg and smile
But they all look like the flowers
In someone else's garden
I've no act of love
for anyone but you

SANDRA lyrics - Little Girl
Venice night at 5 o'clock
The station hazy light
A sleepin' bum, a single girl
She's leavin' overnigt
An' she knows that it's forever
An' she'll never ever return
In Italy on holidays
She had to see da Vinci's style
All the arts for credit cards
She would forgive him for a smile
An' she knows that it's forever
An' she'll never ever return
Hey little girl
Don't wanna cause you pain
But the big boys feel no sorrow
Hey little girl
Hey little girl
They're all the same
But they feel no sorrow
There she is inside a train
An' now she's leanin' back
She's got money for one day
An' nothing in the rack
An' she knows that it's forever
An' she'll never ever return
Hey little girl
Don't wanna cause you pain
But the big boys feel no sorrow
Hey little girl
Hey little girl
The're all the same
But they feel no sorrow
Hey little girl
Don't wanna cause you pain
But the big boys feel no sorrow
Hey little girl
Hey little girl
The're all the same
But they feel no sorrow
