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

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
