JOHN KAY & STEPPENWOLF lyrics - Rage
Runnin' wild, trouble round the corner
The story of your life
You got your bruises livin' in the battle zone
And now you're flyin' blind
Searching for a savior, to help you survive
But empty promises are cold comport
When all your creams are gone
You slowly get the feelin' life's been dealin'
From the bottom of the deck
Your blood is boiling over, fuse is getting short
Here comes trouble on the double, as you explode into a
Rage and rant against the world again
Ain't nobody listening to you
Scream and shout into the wind in vain
Standin' alone, holdin' back your burden
You're slowly turnin' numb
Where are the friends, that you always knew were good as gold
You're on your own, tryin' to stop the hurtin'
Still the worst is yet to come
You swallow hard and you cling to what the dawn may hold
But the light you've been watching at the end of the tunnel
Turns out to be a hoax
It was a freight train comin' at you, to knock you down again
Just for a joke, so you explode into a
Rage and rant against the world again
Ain't nobody listening to you
Scream and shout into the wind in vain
Oh you're not alone, for I've been down that road before
And I understand it you cant take this war no more
Always wishin' hopin' waitin' prayin' for a night to end
I know just what it's like, so let me be your long lost friend
And like crusaders we will
Rage and rant against the world insane
We'll make somebody listen to us
Scream and shout into the wind in again
Like demons on a rampage we will
Rage and rant against the world insane
Does anybody still care out there
Scream and shout into the wind again

MICHAEL BOLTON lyrics - Said I Loved You... But I Lied
You are the candle, love's the flame
A fire that burns through wind and rain
Shine your light on this heart of mine
Till the end of time
You came to me like the dawn through the night
Just shinin' like the sun
Out of my dreams and into my life
You are the one, you are the one
[Chorus:]
Said I loved you but I lied
'Cause this is more than love I feel inside
Said I loved you but I was wrong
'Cause love could never ever feel so strong
Said I loved you but I lied
With all my soul I've tried in vain
How can mere words my heart explain
This taste of heaven so deep so true
I've found in you
So many reasons in so many ways
My life has just begun
Need you forever, I need you to stay
You are the one, you are the one
[Chorus]
You came to me like the dawn through the night
Just shinin' like the sun
Out of my dreams and into my life
You are the one, you are the one
[Chorus]
Said I loved you
But this is more than love I feel inside
Said I loved you... But I lied
JOHN FOGERTY lyrics - Don't You Wish It Was True
I dreamed I walked in heaven just the other night
There was so much beauty, so much light
Don't you wish it was true
Don't you wish it was true
An angel took my hand, said you don't have to hurry
You got all the time in the world, don't worry
Don't you wish it was true
Lord, Don't you wish it was true
But if tomorrow everybody was your friend
Anyone could take you in
No matter what or where you've been
But if tomorrow everybody had enough
The world wasn't quite so rough
Lord don't you wish it was true
He said the worlds gonna change and it's starting today
There'll be no more armies, no more hate
Don't you wish it was true
Don't you wish it was true
And all the little children who live happily
There'll be singing and laughter, sweet harmony
Don't you wish it was true
Lord, Don't you wish it was true
But if tomorrow
Everybody under the sun was happy just living as one
No borders or battles to be won
But if tomorrow
Everybody was your friend
Happiness would never end
Lord, don't you wish it was true
Alright!
[Solo]
But if tomorrow
Everybody under the sun was happy just to live as one
No borders or battles to be won
But if tomorrow
Everybody was your friend
Happiness would never end
Lord, don't you wish it was true
Lord, don't you wish it was true
Alright!
[Solo]
Oooooooweeeeee
What a beautiful day!
ELTON JOHN lyrics - The Fox
Being wiry and thinking loudly
About the things sent to make you move
You can't help it, there's no one in the world
Knows you just, just the way you do
So we keep darting through the holes
As the hunter and the fox
Run the gauntlet's savage road
Winter's heavy and partly cloudy
And the snowfall leaves the tracks that catch a few
Bit if you're wiley, you will leave them lying
Snared up in the traps that they set for you
And it's an evergreen affair
As temptation taunts the fox
Into the hunter's waiting lair
And for mile after mile you'll never see me tire
You'll never see me slow down, for a while
'Cause I am the fox, like it or not
I'm always gonna be there running over the rock
Yes I am the fox, a fascinating cross
Of sharp as a whip and tough as an ox
Yes I am the fox
It may sound crazy but it's often lonely
And the restless heart should be captured once in a while
Then you can use them, and you often fool them
Into believing whatever you desire
So I'll keep moving through the night
The hunter and the hunted
On their designated flights
TOAD THE WET SPROCKET lyrics - In My Ear
Didn't know they were a part of it
I can't tell
It would seem there's a lot that I don't know
Standing with the perfect view
I could not go far enough away from you
I've seen it all before
And know it's only words
Never meant half of the things I said to you
So you know
There's a half that might be true
Hello
I can't hear, it's in my ear
Hello
Have you heard a single word
Hello?
WHITNEY HOUSTON lyrics - Nobody Loves Me Like You Do
Like a candle burning bright
Love is glowing in your eyes
A flame to light our way
That burns brighter everyday
But now I have you
Nobody loves me like you do
Like a leaf upon the wind
I could find no place to land
I dreamed the hours away
And wondered everyday
Do dreams come true
Nobody loves me like you do
[Chorus:]
What if I'd never met you
Where would I be right now
Funny how life just falls in place somehow
You've touched my heart in places that I never even knew
Cause nobody loves me like you do
I was words without a tune
I was a song still unsung
A poem with know rhyme
A dancer out of time
But now there's you
Baby, nobody loves me like you do
[chorus]

KMFDM lyrics - Piggybank
Hopelessly retarded
Spluttering decay
Crying out the lament every night and every day
Hiding in the twilight x-ray shades
Suffering from constipation tripping out of space
I've been recoiled into stoneage
Covetous a dream
Obnoxious and depraved waking up in a scream
Sleeping in the morgue a weird effect on me
Think I lost my consciousness
Left reality
My inners circle's
Helter-skelter
Echoes lovin' ecstasy
I know I'll find a way to live
A way for you and me
Let me be your piggybank
Let me be your piggybank
Totally addicted under detrimental spell
And if I had a shotgun I'd blow myself to hell
Let me be your piggybank for nothing but your smell
And if I had a shotgun I'd blow myself to hell
Squalid and deranged I'm the outlaw of the kin
Will never be the same again stuck in deadly sin
I slouch along the street instead of strutting down the block
I still did not recover from that stunning cold shock
Away from phony people
Besides the way of life
I won't be blamed for loving you I'll take you be my wife
Let me be your piggybank
Let me be your piggybank
THE ALAN PARSONS PROJECT lyrics - Breakdown
I breakdown in the middle and lose my thread.
No one can understand a word that I say.
When I breakdown just a little and lose my head,
Nothing I try to do can work the same way.
Any time it happened, I'd get over it
With a little help from all my friends.
Anybody else could see what's wrong with me,
But they walk away and just pretend...
When I breakdown.
I breakdown in the middle and lose my thread.
No one can understand a word that I say.
When I breakdown just a little and lose my head,
Nothing I try to do can work the same way.
Where are all the friends who used to talk to me?
All they ever told me was good news...
People that I've never seen are kind to me,
Is it any wonder I'm confused?
When I breakdown...When I breakdown...
Freedom, freedom, we will not obey.
Freedom, freedom, take the wall away.
Take the wall away.
Freedom, freedom, we will not obey.
Freedom, freedom, take the wall away.
Where are all my friends?
I'm so confused..

MADONNA lyrics - Eva's Final Broadcast
[Eva:]
The actress hasn't learned the lines you'd like to hear
She's sad for her country, sad to be defeated
By her own weak body
[Crowds:]
(Evita! Evita!) [repeat in background]
I want to tell the people of Argentina
I've decided I should decline
All the honors and titles you've pressed me to take
For I'm contented
Let me simply go on as the woman who brings her people
To the heart of Peron
Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is I shall not leave you
Though it may get harder for you to see me
I'm Argentina, and always will be
Have I said too much?
There's nothing more I can think of to say to you
But all you have to do is look at me to know
That every word is true
MADONNA lyrics - Veras (You'll See)
Tu piensas que yo no podre vivir sin ti
Tu piensas no podra sobrevivir
Que nada me queda, si no estas junto a mi
Veras que no es asi
Tu piensas que jamas sere feliz sin ti
Que destruiste al fin mi corazon
Que no voy a descubrir la forma de volver atras
Sin ti, yo se que si
[Estribillo:]
Ya lo veras
No necesito a nadie mas
Podre resistir
Voy a poder seguir
Lo hare por mi
Sera mi gloria personal
Nadie, ni tu, me la podra quitar
Veras
Acepta la verdad, no llorare por ti
Yo se que asi sera, podre salir
Voy a saltar sin red, y no voy a caer
Sera mejor sin ti
[estribillo]
Veras
You think I won't be able to live without you
You think: she won't be able to survive
That I have nothing left if you're not by my side
You'll see, it's not like that
You think I'll never be happy without you
That finally you destroyed my heart
That I won't find my way back
Without you, I know I will
[Chorus:]
You will see
I don't need anyone else
I will resist
I'll manage to go on
I'll do it for myself
It will be my personal glory
No one, not even you, can take it from me
You'll see
Accept the truth, I will not cry for you
I know it'll be so, I will pull through
I'll jump without a net, and I'm not going to fall
It will be better without you
[chorus]
You'll see

THE KINKS lyrics - I'll Get Over
I'll get over, no matter what you do or say.
I'll get over, pretty lady, now you've had your way.
For what it's worth, for what it gives,
Is there a better way for you to live?
In your eyes there is something strange.
Wandering around, a women of the night,
Are you sure that this life is right?
Is it real or are you just afraid?
I'll get over, no matter what you do or say.
Think it over, ooh lady, know you feel this way.
You're shouting loud, it's getting late.
Use your anger to compensate
For all this running's twisted up my sight[?]
But snuggle up, it'll be all right,
Let the world crash, hellbound sight[?]
Use my love to penetrate.
And I'll get over, people when you put me down.
And get over, yeah, I know that you will come around.
All right!
False ideas and your Hollywood expressions
[?] dragging all of your possessions
[?]
And don't listen to the joker 'cause he'll only rob you blind[?].
Oh yeah.
I'll get over, no matter what you do or say.
Think it over, little lady don't you feel that way[?]
I'll get over, no matter what you do to me.
I'll get over, [?]
I'll get over.
You bet.

THE WHO lyrics - Had Enough
I've had enough of bein' nice
I've had enough of right and wrong
I've had enough of tryin' to love my brother
I've had enough of bein' good
And doin' everything like i'm told I should
If you need a lover, you'd better find another
Life is for the living
Takers never giving
Suspicion takes the place of trust
My love is turning into lust
If you get on the wrong side of me you better run for cover
I've had enough of bein' trodden on
My passive days are gonna be long gone
If you slap one cheek, well, I ain't gonna turn the other
Life is for the living
Takers never giving
Fooling no one but ourselves
Good is dying
Here comes the end
Here comes the end of the world
I'm gettin' sick of this universe
Ain't gonna get better; it's gonna get worse
And the world's gonna sink with the weight of the human race
Hate and fear in every face
I'm gettin' ready and I've packed my case
If you find somewhere better, can you save my place?
Fooling no one but ourselves
Love is dying
Here comes the end
Here comes the end
Here comes the end of the world
TONY BENNETT lyrics - Are You Havin' Any Fun?
Hey fellow with a million smackers
And nervous indigestion
Rich fellow, eats milk and crackers
I'll ask you one question
You silly so and so
With all your dough....
Are you havin' any fun?
What y'gettin' out o' livin'?
What good is what you've got
If you're not havin' any fun?
Are you havin' any laughs?
Are you gettin' any lovin'?
If other people do,
So can you, have a little fun
After the honey's in the cone
Little bees go out and play
Even the old grey mare down home
Has got to have hay....HEY!
You better have some fun
You ain't gonna live forever
Before you're old and gray, feel okay
Have your little fun, son!
Have your little fun!
Why do you work and slave and save?
Life is full of ifs and buts
You know the squirrels save and save
And what have they got.....NUTS!
Better have a little fun
You ain't gonna live forever
Before you're old and grey, still okay
Have your little fun, son!
Have your little fun!
Are you havin' any fun?
BETTE MIDLER lyrics - I Know You By Heart
[B:] Everybody wants to find a love,
somebody, somebody who will always care.
But we get locked up in our own worlds,
with feelings and secrets we're afraid to share.
[D:] But all I have to do is see you smile,
or maybe, just maybe if I brush your hand;
something happens I cannot explain,
and somehow, oh somehow I can understand.
[D:] I, I think you're gonna find. . .
[B:] I'm gonna find you.
I'm gonna find you. . .
[B&D:] I know you by heart.
You're so much a part of me.
I know you by heart.
[D:] Can't you see?
[B&D:] It's no wonder I can love you
the way that I do.
I can finish any sentence you start.
Woah, I know you, I know you by heart.
[D:] I know every time you wanna call,
I pick up the phone before it can ring.
[B:] And when you need some lovin', I'll be there
beside you, anticipating everything.
[D:] Oh, it's like I always said. . .
[B:] You're the one I want.
And all I want is you.
[D:] . . . I'm inside your head.
[B&D:] I know you by heart.
[D:] You're so much a part of me.
[B&D:] I know you by heart.
[B:] Can't you see?
[B&D:] It's no wonder I can love you
the way that I do.
I can finish any sentence you start.
Hey, woah, I know you by heart.
[D:] I know you by heart.
[B&D:] So much a part of me.
It's no wonder I love you
the way that I do.
I can finish any sentence you start.
I know you, I know you by heart.
I know you by heart.
So much a part of me.
I know you by heart.
So much a part of me.
I know you by heart.
So much a part of me.
I know you by heart.
Yeah, I know you by heart.
You're so much a part of me.
So much a part of me.
I know you by heart.
You're so much a part of me. . .
ELF lyrics - Rocking Chair Rock 'N' Roll Blues
How do you whisper out loud?
Be all alone in a crowd?
Well.....
How do you manage to fly?
Breathe like the wind when you sigh?
Sun, burning like fire
She's not feeling the sun, look at her run
Looks like it's starting to rain
Can't quite decide who's to blame
And how do you manage to fly?
Breathe like the wind when you sigh?
Sun, burning like fire
She's not feeling the sun, look at her run
And it looks like it's starting to rain
Can't quite decide who's to blame
Well.....
Hey, all right
Mama told me so son you're getting slow
Find a girl to make your own
Women treat you bad everyone you had
Your legs are long but you ain't grown
No no back off Mama I'm just learning, and how
Got to help me light the fuse
I got the rocking chair rock 'n' roll blues
Yeah
Daddy told me no truck it kind of slow
Get your fill of living alone
Women treat you cool, Lord you're such a fool
Your legs are long but you ain't grown
Hey, back off Mama I'm just learning and how
Help me light the fuse
I got the rocking chair rock 'n' roll blues now
All right, oh yeah, oh yeah
Now you gotta back off Mama, I'm just learning and how
Gotta help me light the fuse
I got the rocking chair rock 'n' roll blues, yeah
Oh, oh oh
Oooh, yeah, help me
ELVIS PRESLEY lyrics - Fame And Fortune
(Fred Wise - Ben Weisman)
Fame and fortune
how empty they can be
But when I hold you in my arms
That's heaven to me
Who cares for fame and fortune
They're only passing things
But the touch of your lips on mine
Makes me feel like a king
Your kind of love
is a treasure I hold
It's so much greater
than silver or gold
I know that I have nothing
If you should go away
But to know that you love me
Brings fame and fortune my way
VELVET REVOLVER lyrics - Illegal I Song
(Velvet Revolver)
One fine day
I'll settle down
When you bloody me
I ran aground
With my broken face
And fisticuff
F*ck the rest and
All their stuff
I - don't - anymore
I - don't - anymore
Just look and you'll
See me
Lying there
Lying there
Just look and you'll
See me
Lying there
Lying there
Another way
A battle ground
A ready teller whore
Who makes no sound
Keep the money bitch
Keep the stuff
Fly around the world
And keep it up
I - don't - anymore
I - don't - anymore
It's killing time on the streets
All hate Sunday
W. A.S. P. lyrics - The Idol
Will I be alone this morning
Will I need my friends
Something just to ease away the pain
And now I never see the loneliness
Behind my face
I am just a prisoner to my faith
If I could only stand and stare in the mirror would I see
One fallen hero with a face like me
And if I scream, could anybody hear me
If I smash the silence, you'll see what fame has done to me
Kiss away the pain and leave me lonely
I'll never know if love's a lie
Ooh - being crazy in paradise is easy
Can you see the prisoners in my eyes
Where is the love to shelter me
Give me love, love set me free
Where is the love, to shelter me
Only love, love set me free
Set me free
THE CHURCH lyrics - Silver Machine
[Originally by Hawkwind]
I, I just took a ride
On a silver machine
And I'm still feeling mean
Oh, do you want to ride
See yourself going by
The other side of the sky
You gotta know where I've been
And it flies sideways through time
It's an electric line
To all the Zodiac signs
I got a silver machine (silver machine)
I got a silver machine (silver machine)
I got a silver machine (silver machine)
In my silver machine
It flies out of a dream
It's antiseptically clean
You gotta know what I mean
Oh, do you want to ride
See yourself going by
The other side of the sky
In a silver machine
Silver machine!
Silver machine!

FLEETWOOD MAC lyrics - Never Forget
(Christine McVie)
Come on baby, could you ever be
Just a little close to me
Ooh ooh ooh
Could we ever forget tonight?
Come on baby, let's take a stroll
You're feelin' warm so don't be cold
Ooh ooh oh
We'll never forget tonight
What a wonderful night to be
The stars must be my friends
To shine for me.
Come on baby, now don't you be cold
Just remember that love is gold
Ooh ooh
We will never forget tonight
B. B. KING lyrics - You're Breaking My Heart
(B. B. King / Joe Josea)
You're breakin' my heart baby,
And there ain't a damn thing I can do
Yes, you got me wringin' my hands and cryin' baby,
Well, you're breakin' my heart in two
Well, it's not easy for me to believe woman,
That you are doin' the things you do
Well, it's so hard for me to believe baby,
It's hard for me to believe you would do me wrong
Yes, please have mercy baby,
Won't you stay here where you belong?
Well you know I got the blues
I got the blues so bad now baby
Sometime you make me wish,
Make me wish I'd never, never been born
Yes, I want to know why did you let me,
Why did you let me love you so long baby?
Why did you use me like a tool?
Yes, you played a game with my heart woman,
Baby you know you used the devils rule
BEE GEES lyrics - Wind Of Change
In the streets of New York City
ev'ry man can feel the cold.
And I don't want no pity,
but I want my story told.
When the lights shine down on me,
they shine on the little boy.
Is this way to make him pay;
be'ng born in a world of joy.
But like me
he don't know where he'll go wrong;
he won't cry so many tears
till he finds out why he don't belong like me.
there's no room for us out there;
you can lose your hope and pride.
When it comes to broken dreams
you'll get your share.
Sometime a man breaks down,
and the good thing he is looking for
are crushed into the ground.
Get on up, look around;
can't you feel the wind of change?
Get on up, taste the air;
can't you see the wind of change;
Don't you understand what I'm sayin',
we need a god down there.
A man to lead us children,
take us from the valley of fear.
Make the lights shine down on us,
show us the road to go.
Help us survive, make us arrive,
teach us what we need to know.
But like me
he don't know where he'll go wrong;
he won't cry so many tears
till he finds out why he don't belong like me.
there's no room for us out there;
you can lose your hope and pride.
When it comes to broken dreams
you'll get your share.
Sometime a man breaks down,
and the good thing he is looking for
are crushed into the ground.
Get on up, look around;
can't you feel the wind of change?
Get on up, taste the air;
can't you see the wind of change;
Get on up...
DAN FOGELBERG lyrics - Shallow Rivers
Shallow rivers run between us where a stone may never sink
Though we taste, we are left thirsty for a deep and soulful drink
Narrow channels, barely open, fraught with dangers out of view
In the current, we are helpless - still I cling to you
[Chorus:]
Grab me woman, take me under 'til I can't tell up from down
We have barely got our feet wet and I want, I want to drown
Shallow rivers run between us never mind the nevermore
Up ahead the water quickens; I can hear those rapids roar
Narrow channels, barely open, flood the waves with treachery
How I long to see the sunrise on a peaceful sea
[Chorus]
THE TEMPTATIONS lyrics - Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch
Oooooooooooooooh!
Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch
You know that I love you
I can't help myself
I love you and nobody else
In and out my life(in and out my life)
You come and you go(you come and you go)
Leaving just your picture behind....(ooh)
And I've kissed it a thousand times(ooh)
When you snap your finger, or wink you eye,
I come a-running to you
I'm tied to your apron strings,
And there's nothing that I can do
I can't help myself,
No, I can't help myself,
'Cause, Sugar Pie Honey Bunch
I'm weaker than a man should be
I can't help myself
I'm a fool in love 'ya see
Wanna tell you I don't love you,
Tell you that we're through
And I try....
But ev'ry time I see your face,
I get all choked up inside
When I call your name,
Girl, it starts to flame
Burning in my heart,
Tearing it all apart..
No matter how I try
My love I cannot hide....
'Cause Sugar Pie Honey Bunch
You know that I'm waiting for you(waiting for you)
I can't help myself
I love you and nobody else
Sugar Pie Honey Bunch
I'd do anything you ask me to(ask me to)
I can't help myself
I want you and nobody else
Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch
You know that I love you(I dooo)
I can't help myself...
No... I can't help myself
GARY MOORE lyrics - Emerald
(Phil Lynott/Brian Downey/Scott Gorham/Brian Robertson)
Down from the glen came the marchin' men
With their shields and their swords.
To fight the fight they believed to be right,
Overthrow the overlords.
To the towns where there was plenty
They brought plunder, swords and flames.
When they left, the town was empty,
And the children would never play again.
From the graves I heard the fallen
Above the battlecry.
By that bridge near the border,
There was many more to die.
And onward over the mountains,
And out towards the sea.
They come to flame the emeralds,
Without it they could not leave.

THE RAMONES lyrics - The Return Of Jackie And Judy
Jackie is a punk, Judy is a runt
They went down to the Mudd Club
And they both got drunk
Oh-yeah
Jackie is a bookie, Judy's taking loans
They both came up to New York
Just to see the Ramones
Oh-yeah
And oh, I don't know why she wrote that letter
Oh no, oh no
Oh I don't know why
We won't forget her, oh no
Jackie's playing hooky
Judy's playing pool
They both got caught for cutting
Got to go to summer school
Oh-yeah
Jackie's scalping tickets
Judy's getting harassed
They both got kicked outside
Didn't have a backstage pass
Oh-yeah
And oh, I don't why she wrote that letter
Oh no, oh no
And oh, I don't know why,
Dont't know what's on her mind
I don't know, no, I don't know
But I can't stand to see her cryin'
She's still cryin', she ain't tryin'
She's going to get left behind
Nobody wants you, nobody wants you
BING CROSBY lyrics - Dear Hearts And Gentle People
I love those dear hearts and gentle people
Who live in my home town
Because those dear hearts and gentle people
Will never ever let you down
They read the good book
From Fri till Monday
That's how the weekend goes
I've got a dream house
I'll build there one day
With picket fence and ramblin' rose
I feel so welcome each time I return
That my happy heart keeps laughin' like a clown
I love the dear hearts and gentle people
Who live and love in my home town
There's a place I'd like to go
And it's back in Idaho
Where you're friendly neighbors smile and say hello
It's a pleasure and a treat
To meandor down the street
That's why I want the whole wide world to know
(I love those dear hearts)
I love the gentle people
(Who live in my home town)
Because those dear hearts and gentle people
Will never ever let you down
They read the good book
From Fri till Monday
That's how the weekend goes
I've got a dream house
I'll build there one day
With picket fence and ramblin' rose
I feel so welcome each time that I return
That my happy heart keeps laughin' like a clown
I love the dear hearts and gentle people
Who live and love in my home town
(Home, home, sweet home)
(Home, home, sweet home)
(Home, home, sweet home)
(Home, home, sweet home)

FAITH NO MORE lyrics - Helpless
The air is warm
I hear the wind and the trees
I know I'm there, but I'll never be
The wind is soft tonight, the tide is low
And I know the way
(I never felt better now)
Sometimes life, it moves too slow
Slows to a crawl, and then the poetry is lost
And without speed, hope becomes certainty
And for once I'm certain
(I never felt better now)
A garden is it's own perfect world
Where everything has a place
Every leaf, every stone, every speck of dirt
But where's my place?
I even tried to get arrested today
But everyone looked the other way
I count the hours, and I count the days
But for once I'm certain
Don't want your help
Don't need your help
Don't want your help
Don't need your help
Helpless
You found a way to make me say
Help me please someone
The water's clear
I see that it's full of dimes
For every wish, I wonder why
Why all I want is something beautiful
A place to rest
(I never felt better now)
HELP
SUZANNE VEGA lyrics - Freeze Tag
We go to the playground
In the wintertime
The sun is fading fast
Upon the slides into the past
Upon the swings of indecision
In the wintertime
In the dimming diamonds
Scattering in the park
In the tickling
And the trembling
Of freeze tag
In the dark
We play that we're actors
On a movie screen
I will be Dietrich
And you can be Dean
You stand
With your hand
In your pocket
And lean against the wall
You will be Bogart
And I will be
Bacall
And we can only say yes now
To the sky, to the street, to the night
Slow fade now to black
Play me one more game
Of chivalry
You and me
Do you see
where I've been hiding
In this hide-and-seek?
We go to the playground
In the wintertime
The sun is fading fast
Upon the slides into the past
Upon the swings of indecision
In the wintertime
Wintertime
Wintertime
We can only say yes now
To the sky, to the street, to the night
We can only say yes now
To the sky, to the street, to the night
STATUS QUO lyrics - Good Sign
(Parfitt / Williams)
Nice to see you, I've been feeling so blue
Owning up now 'cos you change my point of view
It's funny how you do what you do
It's a very good sign, a really good line for you
I've been waiting for the heat of the night
Warming up now, and you've got me in your sights
So tell me what you want me to do
It's a very good time to tell you I've been thinking of you
Because you're wonderful baby, and you're beautiful, baby
It's a very good sign, a very good time of life
Let me tell you, you're a woman with style
I've been waiting, but you made it all worthwhile
And all you had to do was to smile
You're a very good sign, and everything's fine, my child
'Cos you're wonderful baby, and you're beautiful, baby
It's a very good sign, a very good time of life
Set in my ways I live from day to day happy to be free
Needing for nothing, always looking for someone who could make me see
But baby, I was so wrong, I sat here waiting too long to have you here with me
Oh, 'cos you're wonderful baby, and you're beautiful, baby
It's a very good sign, a very good time of life
'Cos you're wonderful baby, and you're beautiful, baby
It's a very good sign, a very good time of life
Oh it's a very good sign, oh yeah a very good sign
Yeah it's a very good time, a very good time
Yeah a very good sign, a very good sign
Yeah it's a very, very good sign, yeah a very good sign
BOB DYLAN lyrics - Wedding Song
I love you more than ever, more than time and more than love
I love you more than money and more than the stars above
I love you more than madness, more than waves upon the sea
I love you more than life itself, you mean that much to me.
Ever since you walked right in the circle's been complete
I've said goodbye to haunted rooms and faces in the street
In the courtyard of the jester which is hidden from the sun
I love you more than ever and I haven't yet begun.
You breathed on me and made my life a richer one to live
When I was deep in powerty you taught me how to give
Dried the tears up from my dreams and pulled me from the hole
I love you more than ever and it binds me to this all.
You gave me babies, one, two, three, what is more, you saved my life
Eye for eye and tooth for tooth, your love cuts like a knife
My thoughts of you don't ever rest, they'd kill me if I lie
But I'd sacrifice the world for you and watch my senses die.
The tune that is yours and mine to play upon this earth
We'll play it out the best we know, whatever it is worth
What's lost is lost, we can't regain what went down in the flood
But happiness to me is you and I love you more than blood.
It's never been my duty to remake the world at large
Nor is it my intention to sound a battle charge
'Cause I love you more than all of that with a love that doesn't bend
And if there is eternity I'd love you there again.
Oh, can't you see that you were born to stand by my side
And I was born to be with you, you were born to be my bride
You're the other half of what I am, you're the missing piece
And I love you more than ever with that love that doesn't cease.
You turn the tide on me each day and teach my eyes to see
Just being next to you is a natural thing for me
And I could never let you go, no matter what goes on
'Cause I love you more than ever now that the past is gone.
ELVIS COSTELLO lyrics - I Almost Had A Weakness
Thank you for the flowers
I threw them on the fire
And I burned the photographs that you had enclosed
GOD they were ugly children
So you're the little bastard of that brother of mine
Trying to trick a poor old woman
'Til I almost had a weakness
Last week Cousin Florence
Bit your Uncle Joe
Hit him on the forehead with a knife and a fork
(She) said that he looked like the devil
Then she said... "pass the vinegar," I'm beginning to think
(That) I'm the only one who hasn't taken to the drinking of it
Though I almost had a weakness
It pains me to mention
These delicate concerns
While I have to tolerate you family jewels
I really mustn't grumble
('Cause) when I die the cats and dogs will jump up and down
And you little swines will get nothing
Though I almost had a weakness

CAROLE KING lyrics - Chains
Chains, my baby's got me locked up in chains
And they ain't the kind that you can see
Whoa, it's chains of love got a hold on me, yeah
Chains, well, I can't break away from these chains
Can't run around
'Cause I'm not free
Whoa, these chains of love won't let me be, yeah
Now believe me when I tell you
I think you're fine
I'd like to hold you
But I can't break away from all of these chains
My baby's got me locked up in chains
And they ain't the kind that you can see
Whoa, it's chains of love got a hold on me, yeah
I wanna tell you, pretty baby
Your lips look sweet
I'd like to kiss them
But I can't break away from all these chains
My baby's got me locked up in chains
And they ain't the kind that you can see
Whoa, it's chains of love got a hold on me, yeah
My baby's got me locked up in chains
And they ain't the kind that you can see
Whoa, it's chains of love got a hold on me, yeah
Chains, chains of love
Chains of love
Chains of love
Oh, these chains of love got a hold on me
JACKSON BROWNE lyrics - Nino
Nino, walking around on Sunday
Nino, just one more kid in L. A.
With a hubcap and a stick in his hand
In his own parade, leading the band
His head in the sky, his feet nearly touching the sand
Nino, three thousand miles away
Nino, la familia stares at the bay
Turning off Sunset Boulevard
Playing the fence around somebody's yard
Thinking of home and keeping tumbao on the hood of a car
Nino, people will know you one day
Nino, they're going to call you El Rey
Nino de la playa y la ciudad
Nino de las calles y la verdad
El ritmo de tu pueblo se siente aqui
Al canto de la tierra que vive en ti
La magia de tu mano en el tambor
Retumba aqui con alma y con sabor
Y al toque de campanas al sonar
Los angeles te guardan desde el mar
(Child of the beach and the city
Child of the streets and of the truth
The rhythm of your people is felt here
To the song of the country that lives in you
The magic of your hand on the drum
Resonates here with soul and good feeling
And at the strike of bells as they ring
The angels guard you from the sea)
With a hubcap and a stick in his hand
In his own parade, leading the band
His head in the sky, his feet nearly touching the sand of the homeland
Nino, walking around in L. A.
Nino, this will be your town one day

MARIANNE FAITHFULL lyrics - Crazy Love
Hated by all and everywhere he goes
Blazing contempt for human life and lies
Murder as art and what he knows he knows
From life and fear in other people's eyes
Crazy love is all around me
Love is crazy love is kind
But I know somehow you'll find me
Love is crazy love is blind
She walks the boulevard without a care
Knowing too much but having come so far
Pretending life is just a game you play for nothing
Loving no-one and no-where
Crazy love is all around me
Love goes crazy given time
But I know somehow you'll find me
Love is crazy love is blind
She looks as if expecting a surprise
Maybe an encounter that will change her life
Not knowing hot from cold or good for bad
If life is just a joke or if it makes her sad
Crazy love is all around me
Love is crazy love is kind
But I know somehow you'll find me
Love is crazy love is blind
Crazy love is all around me
Love goes crazy given time
But I know somehow you'll find me
Love is crazy love is blind
KENNY LOGGINS lyrics - Nightwatch
In the night, when a mist of sleep surrounds me
You come to me and hold me tight, winding your body all around me
And everywhere you touch I feel, that my love for you is much too real
Oh, it's the same damn thing, wanting you in my dreams
It's the same damn thing, wanting you in my dreams
Sleepwalkin' - I know every move you make, and every word I say
Keep it comin', comin' - comin' on stronger, this time I'm going all the way
Is this moment just a fantasy, or a vision of what will be
Oh, it's the same damn thing, wanting you in my dreams
Every night the same thing, wanting you in my dreams
(Dreams fade away)
I better find you in my days, or I'm losin' you to the nights
It's the same thing - every night
It's the same thing - oh, you're so right
It's the same thing - wanting you
[Instrumental break]
And tonight, evening's shadows are sure to find me
On my nightwatch, waiting for the warmth of you beside me
And every second that you're here I feel, this dream is real
And it's the same damn thing, it's the same thing
It's the same damn thing, wanting you in my dreams, dreams
LINDA RONSTADT lyrics - Talking In The Dark
(Elvis Costello)
I tried again to drive myself insane
I talk to myself but I don't listen
I found out what I was missing
I miss talking in the dark
Without you I'm not conversation
Oh without the sense of the occasion
Oh without you
I miss talking in the dark
When the barking and the biting are through
We can talk like we're in love
Or we can talk above it
We can talk and talk
Until we talk ourselves out of it
I look for the new somebody to abuse
I look at myself but it's so chancy
I see things that I don't fancy
I miss talking in the dark
Without you I'm not conversation
Oh without the sense of the occasion
Oh without you
I miss talking in the dark
MR. MISTER lyrics - Broken Wings
Baby don't understand
Why we can't just hold on
To each other's hands
This time might be the last
I fear unless I make it all too clear
I need you so
Take these broken wings
And learn to fly again
And learn to live so free
And when we hear the voices sing
The book of love will open up
And let us in
Take these broken wings
Baby I think tonight
We can take what was wrong
To make it right
Baby it's all I know
That you're half of the flesh
And blood makes me whole
Need you so
Take these broken wings
And learn to fly again
And learn to live so free
And when we hear the voices sing
The book of love will open up
And let us in
Take these broken wings
You got to learn to fly
And learn to live so free
And when we hear the voices sing
Let us in
Let us in
Baby it's all I know
That you're half of the flesh
And blood makes me whole
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah so
Take these broken wings
And learn to fly again
And learn to live so free
And when we hear the voices sing
The book of love will open up
And let us in
Take these broken wings
You got to learn to fly
And learn to live so free
And when we hear the voices sing
The book of love will open up
And let us in
MADNESS lyrics - Close Escape
(Foreman/Thompson)
That was a close escape
Have to get a new hobby to relate
Something less conspicuous
Won't take up too much time
Something less sadistic
For what I've got in mind
I won't be too persistent
'Cause I'm not that way inclined
C that's the one for me
Look, have you got any titties free
What you do is find 5p
415-1683 hello Miss Collins you'll not know me
I'm in the undies business see
Please, please can you tell me
The size, how far from the knee
Oh dear, dear me, luck is running thine
I'll take another name, I might have a win
Got two more coins, I hope no-one thinks I'm dim
C that's the one for me
Look and you're......... free
See if she'll speak to me
Hands are shaking eyes can't see
Having trouble finding 5p
217-1983 hello Miss Dickens you'll not know me
I'm in the undies business see
Don't worry, that's nowt, here we go again
Oi! no peeping, someone must take the hint
Oh dear, dear me, luck is running thin
So please, please can you tell me
The tits do feel real good to me
In a naked mood
Try to grin and bear with me
Please don't think me rude
I only hear, don't want to see
C that's the one for me
That was quick, too quick for me
Of that I can see
What's your name, Mildred, well buggar me
Sugar and milk in my tea
No harm could be, well I'll see
What's your hobby, just the same as me
See you soon for tea
I'll give it one last chance
I think you'll all agree
I'm getting no game here, only lost 5p
I'll flicker through the pages, nothing interests me
I'll ring another number, make sure it's a she
Here we go again, I'll give it third degree
No harm's been done, yes I'm sure you'll all agree
I'll take another name, I might have a win
TOM WAITS lyrics - Baby Gonna Leave Me
Well I stood on the corner
Until my feet got wet
I stood by the faucet
Till the sink filled up
I stood by the window
Until the moon came up
My baby's bought a ticket
Long as my clothes line
Na na na na, na-na-na
Na na na na
My baby went and left me in a '49 Ford
Going down the highway in a 49 sword
My baby ripped my heart out
With every turn of the moon
Somebody told me
There's never been a rose without a thorn
Na na na na, na-na-na
Na na na
Well I'm just another sad guest
On this dark earth
And if I was a tree
I'd be a cut down tree
And if I was a bed
I'd be an unmade bed
I'll get my 32/20 and it'll have to do
Na na na na, na-na-na
Na na na na
Gone like the wind in the meadow
And the rain on the hill
You even left your lipstick
And your powder and your blush
Baby gonna leave me
On a Grey Hound bus
The stars are melting
All across the sky
Na na na na, na-na-na
Na na na na
I let the dog out
But he didn't come back
Stood on the corner until
My feet got wet
Baby leave me in a '49 Ford
I stood by the window
Untill the moon came up
Na na na na, na-na-na
Na na na na

BACHMAN-TURNER OVERDRIVE lyrics - Thank You For The Feelin'
Thank you for the feelin'
But I think I've had enough
For the sun came late this morning
And I sure am feeling rough
Been this way for hours
Just can't seem to clear my head
Thank you for the feelin'
But I should have stayed in bed
What a night I had
Never been so right
Find a pretty face
Stayed there most the night
Fed me wine and laughter
Dandied up so tight
I don't remember coming home
And I'm not going back tonight
I'd like to thank you
I'd like to thank you
I'd like to thank you for the feelin'
I'd like to thank you
I'd like to thank you
I'd like to thank you for the feelin'
(Give it some feelin')
Thank you for the feelin'
But I think I've had enough
For the sun came late this morning
And I sure am feeling rough
Been this way for hours
Just can't seem to clear my head
Thank you for the feelin'
But I should have stayed in bed
Had a devil's face
Emotion that could melt
Why so many dozen men
A love they'd never felt
Took me home, shared a dream
Knew just what I'd like
I don't remember coming home
And I'm not going back tonight
I'd like to thank you
I'd like to thank you
I'd like to thank you for the feelin'
I'd like to thank you
I'd like to thank you
I'd like to thank you for the feelin'
I'd like to thank you
I'd like to thank you
I'd like to thank you for the feelin'
I'd like to thank you
I'd like to thank you
I'd like to thank you for the feelin'
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you for the feelin'
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you for the feelin'
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you for the feelin'
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you for the feelin'
THE BEATLES lyrics - Michelle
(Lennon/McCartney)
Michelle, ma belle
These are words that go together well
My Michelle
Michelle, ma belle
Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble
Tres bien ensemble
I love you, I love you, I love you
That's all I want to say
Until I find a way
I will say the only words I know that
You'll understand
Michelle, ma belle
Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble
Tres bien ensemble
I need to, I need to, I need to
I need to make you see
Oh, what you mean to me
Until I do I'm hoping you will
Know what I mean
I love you
I want you, I want you, I want you
I think you know by now
I'll get to you somehow
Until I do I'm telling you so
You'll understand
Michelle, ma belle
Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble
Tres bien ensemble
I will say the only words I know
That you'll understand, my Michelle

ELVIS COSTELLO lyrics - Hoover Factory
Five miles out of London on the Western Avenue
Must have been a wonder when it was brand new
Talkin' 'bout the splendour of the Hoover factory
I know that you'd agree if you had seen it too
It's not a matter of life or death
But what is, what is?
It doesn't matter if I take another breath
Who cares? Who cares?
Green for go, green for action
From Park Royal to North Acton
Past scrolls and inscriptions like those of the Egyptian age
And one of these days the Hoover factory
Is gonna be all the rage in those fashionable pages
Five miles out of London on the Western Avenue
Must have been a wonder when it was brand new
Talkin' 'bout the splendour of the Hoover factory
I know that you'd agree if you had seen it too
It's not a matter of life or death
But what is, what is?
It doesn't matter if I take another breath
Who cares? Who cares?
THE DOOBIE BROTHERS lyrics - Nobody
(Tom Johnston)
Evil ways of practice may surround you
Callin' on your inner core of life
But your father was just a complex man of bus'ness
And your mother merely portioned out your fright
But run the risk of a sudden loss
You got no mama to bear your cross beside you
Uh huh, uh huh
As midnight angels shine their wings
And time begins just bo build a wall around you
Nobody, nobody gonna take my love away from me
Nobody, nobody gonna take my love away from me
Settin' out on a voyage down to Jenner
I've given all I've got to help the cause
Need a place just to settle out my pressures
A place where you and I can sit and pause
So I can see the sky at night
Without a fear of hidden light to blind me
Mm, mm
And so you see the path is clear
And changes will be swayed around me
Nobody, nobody gonna take my love away from me
Nobody, nobody gonna take my love away from me

BARRY MANILOW lyrics - Reminiscing
Friday night it was late
I was walking you home
We got down to the gate
And I was dreaming of the night
Would it turn out right
How to tell you girl
I want to build my world around you
Tell you that it's true
I wanna make you understand
I'm talking about a life time plan
That's the way it began
We were hand in hand
Glen Miller's Band was better than before
We yelled and screamed for more
And the porter too
Made us dance across the room
It ended it all too soon
And on the way back home
I promise you, you'll never be alone
Hurry don't be late
I can hardly wait
I said to myself when we're old
We'll go dancing in the dark
Walking through the park and reminiscing
Friday night it was late
I was walking you home
We got down to the gate
And I was dreaming of the night
Would it turn out right
Now as the years roll on
Each time we hear our favorite song
The memories come along
Older times we're missing
Spending the hours reminiscing
Hurry don't be late
I can hardly wait
I said to myself when we're old
We'll go dancing in the dark
Walking through the park and reminiscing
We'll go dancing in the dark
Walking through the park and reminiscing
You should be dancing
Dancing
Dancing
Dancing
And reminiscing
BARCLAY JAMES HARVEST lyrics - Lady Loves
The lady loves, while she may
The lady loves, while she may
In the pale moonlight, or a sunny day
The lady loves, mmm she loves
The lady dreams, while she may
The lady dreams, while she may
In the pale moonlight, or a sunny day
The lady dreams, oh she dreams
She'll take your children by the hand
She'll lead them to the promised land
Holding hands and singing songs
In the smile on her face you just know she can't be wrong
The lady sleeps, while she may
The lady sleeps, while she may
In the pale moonlight, or a sunny day
The lady sleeps, oh she sleeps
She'll take your children by the hand
And lead them to the promised land
Holding hands and singing songs
In the smile on her face you just know she can't be wrong
She'll take your children by the hand
And lead them to the promised land
Holding hands and singing songs
In the smile on her face you just know she can't be wrong
She just can't be wrong

BLACK SABBATH lyrics - She's Gone
I've been gone a long long time - waiting for you
I din't want to see you go, oh, no, no
And now it's hurting so much, what can I do?
I wanted you to be my wife
The days are passing slowly, since you've gone
Your memories are all I have, yes I have
I sit here waiting but you'll never show
Without you I can't carry on, ooh my baby
You said you'd always love me, all of my life
And then you said your last goodbye, yeah, goodbye
Why the sudden change, why all the lies?
I should have seen it in your eyes
The endless hours of heartache, waiting for you
My summer love has turned to rain, all the pain
The silent emptiness of one sided love
My life means nothing now you're gone, ooh my baby
ROD STEWART lyrics - Dixie Toot
(R. Stewart / R. Wood)
Sitting on my back door wondering which way to go
The sun's shining on my back and it hurts (child)
The FM station plays another bad 45
And it's been so long since I had a good time
It's been so long since I had a good time
Never wrecked my head on a bandstand
in the trombone or clarinet line
When I come in heat on Bourbon Street for Mardi Gras
When those for a cryin' just stay behind in the bar
'Cause it's been so long since I had a good time
Yeah it's been so long since I had a good time
I'm gonna lose control of my powers
I might even lose my trousers
Smash some glass, act like trash if I want
Wear a skirt be a flirt if I want
'Cause it's been so long since I had a good time
This prodigal man from Dixieland needs a good time
right now, show me a good time right now
You better take it while you can
You gotta get it while you can
And when the Man Upstairs he calls me
He'll say "It's your turn son to come"
Don't play the blues down in old Toulouse for me
Let sleighbells ring and children sing in the street
And tell all of my friends that I had a good time
Open up the sky won't you ride me high
Let's have a good time
And if I'm late at heaven's gate blame a good time
And when the angels sing I will join in
Let's have a good time really
I took my luck, I didn't give a fuck, I had a good time
Tell all my friends only all my best to have a good time
Goodbye
U. D.O. lyrics - Two Faced Woman
Miles from home
So many things go 'round
So far - the fight in me so strong
Years of pain
I've suffered all the same
Today - I know I will be near
You talk about romance
You blew your only chance
'cause you're a two faced woman
But I'm a three faced man
'cause you're a two faced woman
I got a hangman's hand
Dirty tricks
I found out just in time
Enough - don't dare to cross the line
You - you fooled around
I found a way out
The tables turned - your bridges burned
You talk about romance
You blew your only chance
'cause you're a two faced woman
But I'm a three faced man
'cause you're a two faced woman
I got a hangman's hand
'cause you're a two faced woman
But I'm a three faced man
'cause you're a two faced woman
You'll live in nightmare land
Payback time - spin the dime
The balance overdue
Payback time - take a hike
You broke the golden rule
'cause you're a two faced woman
But I'm a three faced man
'cause you're a two faced woman
I got a hangman's hand
'cause you're a two faced woman
But I'm a three faced man
'cause you're a two faced woman
You'll live in nightmare land

ICE CUBE lyrics - Heaven
[Verse One:]
Listen to the preacherman
But are you talkin' to me
I can't hear you with a mouth full of pig's feet
If I should need the swine flesh
Your body is a mess, but you're blessed
With a father, son, spirit and the holy ghost
But my whole neigborhood is comatose
Lookin' for survival
The devil made you a slave and he gave you a bible
400 years gettin' our ass kicked
By so-called christians and catholics
But I watch 'em burn in a fire
See I'm a g, that's why I ain't in your choir
Cause I see, cause I know
The church ain't nothin' but a fashion show
Get the devil to a 187
And they won't call me a nigga when I get to heaven
[Verse Two:]
You're waitin' for the devil to come from the ground
Clown, take a look around
Just look at the cross that the priest is holdin'
A beast in sheep's clothing
But I'm rollin' with that knowledge of self
Cause heaven ain't just wealth
So mister preacher, if I couldn't pay my tithe
Do I have to wait outside?
White man, please take another look
Cause we couldn't be readin' out of the same book
Cause youse a crook and I'm a brother
King James had sex with his mother
Is that your edition? Is that your religion?
Black man, you gotta make a desicion
Cause God is comin' on day number seven
And he won't call me a nigga when I get to heaven
[Verse Three:]
The same white man that threw me in the slammer
He bombed the church in Alabama
So if I cock the hammer, God won't mind
If I have to kill the human swine
Cause God is a killer from the start
Why you think Noah had to build his ark
And God is a man from his feet to his hair
That's why you say 'amen' after each and every prayer
I just stare at the church man
Spendin' more money on the church band
But Elijah's got a plan
Got the white man screamin': 'Damn that Farrakhan!'
Cause one day these babies are uprise
Much more than bowties and bean pies
Kickin' knowledge at 7-11
And they won't call me a nigga when I get to heaven
THE YOUNGBLOODS lyrics - Darkness, Darkness
Darkness, Darkness
Be my pillow
Take my head
And let me sleep
In the coolness of your shadow
In the silence of your deep
Darkness, Darkness
Hide my yearning
For the things I cannot be
Keep my mind from constant turning
Toward the things I cannot see now
Things I cannot see now
Things I cannot see
Darkness, darkness,
Long and lonesome,
Ease the day that brings me pain.
I have felt the edge of sadness,
I have known the depth of fear.
Darkness, darkness, be my blanket,
Cover me with the endless night,
Take away, take away the pain of knowing,
Fill the emptiness of right now,
Emptiness of right now, now, now
Emptiness of ri-ight now.
Darkness, darkness, be my pillow,
Take my hand, and let me sleep.
In the coolness of your shadow,
In the silence, the silence of your deep.
Darkness, darkness, be my blanket,
Cover me with the endless night,
Take away, take away the pain of knowing
Fill the emptiness of right now,
Emptiness of right now now now
Emptiness of right...
Oh yeah Oh yeah
Emptiness, emptiness
Oh yeah
IVORY JOE HUNTER lyrics - City Lights
A bright array of city lights as far as I can see
The Great White Way shines through the night for lonely guys like me
The cabarets and honky tonks, their flashing signs invite
A broken heart to lose itself in the glow of city lights.
Lights that say "Forget her name in a glass of sherry wine"
Lights that offer other girls for empty hearts like mine
They paint a pretty picture of a world that's gay and bright
But it's just a mask for loneliness behind those city lights.
The world was dark and God made stars to brighten up the night
But God who put the stars above I don't believe made those lights
For it's just a place for men to cry when things don't turn out right
Just a place to run away and hide behind those city lights.
Lights that say "Forget her love in a different atmosphere"
Lights that lure are nothing but a masquerade for tears
They paint a pretty picture but my arms can't hold them tight
And I just can say "I love you" to a street of city lights.
KISS lyrics - Mr. Blackwell
I never said I was more than I am
Do what I want and I don't give a damn
You're all so weak you know it makes me ill
Don't like you now and probably never will
You cheat and lie, and wonder why
You can't sleep at night
You're not well, Mr. Blackwell
And we can tell
You're not well, Mr. Blackwell
Why don't you go to hell
I am a sinner who just loves to sin
I am a fighter who just loves to win
I am the truth about this crummy hole
There's nothing here that can't be bought or sold
You're cold and mean, and in between
You're rotten to the core
Chorus
You're a victim, a real disgrace
You should be banished from the human race
We'll drink to sorrow then we'll drink to waste
We'll drink a toast to the inhuman race
Here's to the world and the times we're in
Here's to the kid a real man among men
You're cold and mean, and in between
You're rotten to the core
Chorus
RUN-D. M.C. lyrics - It's Not Funny
It's not funny when you buy a TV off the street
You take it home, plug it in, BAM! You got beat
It's not funny when you buy a house with all you got
And the day you go to see it, it's a vacant lot
It's not funny
It's not funny
It's not funny when you come to work late
You have the key to the office, and the boss had to wait
It's not funny making money on a regular basis
And losing every dime betting on the races
It's not funny
It's not funny
It's not funny
It's not funny when you have a show and thousands come
And your drummer bring the sticks, but forgets his drum
It's not funny when you see three cars you like
And your pocket can only buy a 3-speed bike
It's not funny
It's not funny
It's not funny when we got on the wrong plane
We wanted to go to LA, but we were headed for Spain
It's not funny when you pull off an incredible caper
You thought you got over, next day you're in the paper
It's not funny
It's not funny
It's not funny
It's not funny when you leave your house without an umbrella
Then it rains, (ha ha ha) you're an unhappy fella
It's not funny
It's not funny
It's not funny, ha ha
It's not funny when you lie and said that you pray
When the truth was revealed, you went to hell anyway
It's not funny
It's not funny
It's not funny
It's not funny
It's
It's not funny
It's not funny
It's ay
It's not funny
KYLIE MINOGUE lyrics - Should I Stay Or Should I Go?
[Originally by The Clash]
Darling you gotta let me know
Should I stay or should I go?
If you say that you are mine
I'll be here 'til the end of time
So you got to let know
Should I stay or should I go?
Always tease tease tease
Siempre - coqetiando y enganyando
You're happy when I'm on my knees
Me arrodilla y estas feliz
One day is fine, next is black
Un dias bien el otro negro
So if you want me off your back
Al rededar en tu espalda
Well come on and let me know
Me tienes que desir
Should I Stay or should I go?
Me debo ir o que darme
Should I stay or should I go now?
Should I stay or should I go now?
If I go there will be trouble
An' if I stay it will be double
So come on and let me know
This indecision's bugging me
Esta undecision me molesta
If you don't want me, set me free
Si no me quieres, librame
Exactly who'm I'm supposed to be
Diga me que tengo ser
Don't you know which clothes even fit me?
?Saves que robas me querda?
Come on and let me know
Me tienes que desir
Should I cool it or should I blow?
?Me debo ir o quedarme?
Should I stay or should I go now?
?Yo me frio o lo sophlo?
If I go there will be trouble
Si me voi - va ver peligro
And if I stay it will be double
Si me quedo es doble
So you gotta let me know
Me tienes que decir
Should I stay or should I go?
?Yo me frio o lo sophlo?

DONNA SUMMER lyrics - Fascination
No escaping
No spell is over me
Fantasy's fact you see in my life
Time and motion
Seem to have made a stop
And if the whole world passes by
I wouldn't bat an eye
If you say you were mine
Fascination all I do is
Fascination dream of you
Such devotion
I've never felt before
You opened up a door in my life
No tomorrow
Could there be without you
And if you should say goodbye
I think that I would die
Fascination all I do is
Fascination dream of you
I can't think about anything else
But you
There's nothing I can do
Oh no, oh no
Nothing I can do
Nothing I can do
I can't think about anything else
But you
There's nothing I can do
Fascination all I do is
Fascination dream of you
Fascination all I do is
Fascination dream of you
Fascination...
BAD RELIGION lyrics - Individual
individuals run for cover,
for the multitudes of thoughtless clones have reached a critical mass,
individuals hide in fear, under cover,
sheltered by the wafer thin veil of intelligence
individuals, nowhere to be seen
urbana is oozing like a bloated carcass,
with maggots cooking in the desert heat,
oozing, with progeny writhing and desperate
for input from someone more determined
congregating in invisible circles,
half apart and half apart,
all too aware of the insignificance,
pushing on with soul and heart
individuals don't pray for forgiveness,
when pinned up against the wall under siege of persecution,
individuals command exception,
and accept dichotomy,
maybe you can't choose anymore
procreation without gain or purpose,
languid wills and torped minds,
catapulted ever faster by the arrow of time
CARLY SIMON lyrics - Songbird
Most everyone I know leaves New York on holidays
The Fourth of July
Is a little lonely here
And a little holy
Fireworks out on the river
And the boys all drinking beer
Sing hallelujah for the year
Hallelujah for the year
Hallelujah for the year
There's a songbird in my tree
I don't know where it leads
But I believe it sings it's song for me
And never sees the things I see
Oh and I can dream
For the rest of my life
For the rest of my life
Hideaway
The freezing days
And when the sun returns
I will have learned to sing
Your haunting melody
You'll take the notes and harmonize me
And bring me back to hallelujah
For the rest of my life
Hallelujah
CHRIS ISAAK lyrics - The Lonely Ones
If you drive late at night, and pass the town at night.
And know that someone lies awake not sleeping.
If you drive fast at night, and hear the wind at night.
And know tha sometimes you can hear them weeping, the lonely ones.
The lonely ones.
And though you'd like to stop, you know it's wrong to stop.
The nights' to dark for you to ever reach them, the lonely ones.
The lonely ones.
As you drive on we drive faster, you try to leave the night behind you but wait.....
You hear them still.... You always will.
The lonely ones.
Out on the edge of town, you start to turn around.
But in your mirror you see the one who is crying, the lonely ones.
The lonely ones, the lone-ly ones!

HARRY BELAFONTE lyrics - Island In The Sun
(Harry Belafonte and Lord Burges)
This is my island in the sun
Where my people have toiled since time begun
I may sail on many a sea
Her shores will always be home to me
Oh, island in the sun
Willed to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest, waters, your shining sand
As morning breaks the heaven on high
I lift my heavy load to the sky
Sun comes down with a burning glow
Mingles my sweat with the earth below
Oh, island in the sun
Willed to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest, waters, your shining sand
I see woman on bended knee
Cutting cane for her family
I see man at the waterside
Casting nets at the surging tide
Oh, island in the sun
Willed to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest, waters, your shining sand
I pray the day will never come
When I can't awake to the sound of drum
Never let me miss carnival
With calypso songs philosophical
Oh, island in the sun
Willed to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest, waters, your shining sand

BABYFACE lyrics - Work It Out
Said its a long nights(?)
No rest for the weary
Your baby keep cryin'
He just won't go to bed
Feels like you gon' die
You know you gotta get up early
There's not enough time for love
Cause if you cant get what you want
[Chorus:]
Well I'ma work it out work it out work it out work it out
So we can think it out think it out think it out
Well I'ma work it out work it out work it out work it out
There ain't no...?...I'm working it ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
The rent is fast too
Your not gonna make it
The telephone haunts you
You just cant pay the bills (you just cant pay the bills)
Your car is broke down
And the babys gotta go to school
Your feelin left out
Like nobody's gonna care for you (care for you baby)
Well I gotta go crib girl
A room for your kid girl
So just put your mind at ease
'Cause I've got the cash girl
To pay down your rent girl
So you can spend time with

[Chorus 2x]
[Rap break]
Sugar sugar sugar sugar
[Chorus]
I've gotta a crib baby
A room for you kid baby
I pay the rent baby
L. L. COOL J lyrics - Crossroads
The wind is howlin
the rain pours down
eyes are blood-shot
heartbeat pounds.
Lights go out
the whole world's in darkness
the ground is tremblin'
dogs are barkless.
In the sky there appears a great light
burnin' all the flesh off the creatures of the night.
AAAHHHH! Cryin' in a childless (?) tone
terrified of dyin' a painful death alone.
Don't smile
lest a innocent (?) chile
The power of god is gonna get to be your tal (?).
Throw like a hit from the best
take it in a slump
ha ha
feel it in your chest.
Conquerin the world with the words
leadin the children like herds.
I can feel it buildin
I'm about to explode
I'm walkin on the crossroad
[REFRAIN (x2)]
People livin in a shack - at the crossroads
Little kids sellin crack - at the crossroads
(?) stab you in the back - at the crossroads
Everybodies gettin jacked at the crossroads
Violins and trumpets play
25 thousand people in a golden sleigh
on there way to the promise land.
Deliverance
but yet some don't understand.
Rough on a late night thrill
after midnight
kill or be killed.
Soldiers, warriors
(?) at each other
on the combat zone.
Supreme power on the throne.
Lighting strikes in every home.
Terrified men run down the street.
So many dead bodies
it's hard to eat.
Come, we gotta rise
above the wall.
To see what no man has seen before.
Blindin' light
that got you through the night.
God is on your side
to got in a fight.
[REFRAIN]
Homicide
suicide
death.
BOOM!
Ain't nobody left.
Ohhhh! It's startin to take affect.
Your on your knees
you scared to death.
Tornados with a thousand people spinnin.
One fight at the cross
and now god is winin.
The whole Earth cracks in half.
The sea turns red from the blood bath.
Abandoned buildings burned
and two remain (?).
Terrified
you feel the fire blaze.
The ground can't hold your weight.
You reach out to grab the pearly gates.
Who clocked this f***
not from space.
Never again
will you see the human race.
19 angels leadin the devil straight to hell!
Torment!
Pain!
What you're seein here
you can't explain.
All your life
some men
we played the game.
Never realize that there's a flame.
[REFRAIN]
SANTANA lyrics - Two Points Of View
(Carlos Santana, Chester D. Thompson, Alex Ligertwood, Greg Walker)
You, always making promises
Who gets the blame for your mistakes
You, made a game of politics
Now fear and guilt on your face
But I can't feel your pain
And I won't share your shame
All I know is what I feel
Music sets me free
I don't mind walking in the rain
Ooh, tears of heaven soothe my pain
Love is the sound that makes me sing
I love to play a melody
But you can't hear the sound
But you can't, you can't feel the beat
All I know is what I feel
Music sets me free
I don't mind walking in the rain
Ooh, tears of heaven soothe my pain
Love is the sound that makes me sing
I love to play a melody
But you can't hear the sound
But you can't, you can't feel the beat
All I know is what I feel
Music sets me free
Two points of view
Two points of view
Two points of view
One for me, and one for you
But you can't hear the sound
But you can't, you can't feel the beat
All I know is what I feel
Music sets me free
Two points of view
Two points of view
Two points of view
One for me and one for you
Two points of view
Two points of view
TINA TURNER lyrics - Freedom To Stay
I tied my bandana, took my pack from the floor
You were still sleeping, as i stood at the door
Once more i was heading to, God only knows where
That's when it hit me, i was already there
I could ramble, a thousand miles or more
Never find the light i've seen in your eyes before
You gave me the freedom to go on my own way
But you gave me much more, you gave me the freedom to stay
Why keep on running, just to wish on a star
Searching for Heaven, when i know where you are
Life is just empty, when you're walking alone
So wherever we're going girl, Lord it's good to be at home

WOODY GUTHRIE lyrics - The Flood And The Storm
Sacco had come from the mountains of Italy,
Had a wife and children three;
Vanzetti sold fish on the streets of North Plymouth,
Was a writer of workers's poetry.
The world shook harder on the night they died
Than 'twas shaken by that Great World's War;
More millions did march for Sacco and Vanzetti
Than did march for the great War Lords.
More millions did pray, more millions they did sing,
This August night in nineteen twenty-seven,
When strapped there in that chair they did die.
More millions saw the light, more walked into the fight,
And more from shore unto shore
Than ever did fight for the rich man's hire
Or dress in the warrior's uniform.
The peasants, the farmers, the towns, and the cities,
The hills and the valley they did ring,
Hindenburg, Wilson, Harding, Hoover, Coolidge
Never heard this many voices sing.
The zig-zag lightnings, the rumbles of the thunder,
The singing of the clouds blowing by,
The flood and the storm for Sacco and Vanzetti
Caused the rich man o pull his hair and cry.
THE STYLISTICS lyrics - Wonder Woman
The first time ever I saw you
I knew that you'd be
The only girl for me
The first time ever I touched to you
I felt such a thrill
I know I always will
A miracle came my way
And that's why I say
[Chorus:]
Wonder Woman, Wonder Woman
Wonder Woman, you will never know
How wonderful you are to me
Wonder Woman, you will never know
How wonderful you are to me
The first time ever I kissed you
And kissed you again
I fell in love right then
The first time ever I laid there
In your warm embrace
I knew I found my place
And if you could hear me pray
You would hear me say
[Chorus and fade out]
UFO lyrics - The Way The Wild Wind Blows
I heard from Frankie there's trouble at his place
On Highway 95 the police they gave me chase
I was with his sister I hadn't seen a thing
They had an APB just to bring me in
(1) Oh, I had Jenny by my side
Oh, she never told me that she'd lied
(2) If that's the way (that) our love goes
I'll take my chances with you I know
And we'll go the way the wild wind blows
I wasn't gonna stop they'd have to catch me first
And as I ran the red I heard the gunfire burst
Across three counties chasin' me for days
But Judge I didn't know that she was under age
(1) Repeat
[INSTRUMENTAL]
Well the judge he was generous and gave me a rest
Of eighteen months in the county's best
And I got a visit from Jenny yesterday
By the time I'm out everything will be OK
(1) Repeat
(2) Repeat
She gave me one look
You could see it in her eyes
And we'll go the way the wild wind blows
(3) And while I'm away dream of dreams
That what we had no one had seen
Because we go the way the wild wind blows
(3) Repeat and fade

ROY ORBISON lyrics - Wild Hearts
(Roy Orbison/Will Jennings)
You're gone again this morning.
How long will you keep running on and on.
Can't you see the warning.
I need you more than ever.
Before you're gone forever.
Please don't let your heart run out of time.
Wild hearts run out of time.
When you're up against the night.
Don't stand there all alone.
In the dying of the light.
Wild hearts run out of time.
And you'll need a love like mine.
To show you hope is there.
In the sunshine of your mind.
Wild hearts run out of time.
Don't let this old world turn you.
Dont' let the wild life hurt you anymore.
Don't let the bright lights burn you.
Please don't stand there crying.
Because the time is flying.
I can't let your heart run out of time.
Wild hearts run out of time.
When you're up against the night.
Don't stand there all alone.
In the dying of the light.
Wild hearts run out of time.
And you'll need a love like mine.
To show you hope is there
In the sunshine of your mind.
Wild hearts run of time.
It could be yours or mine.
It happens all the time.
Wild hearts run out of time.
It could be yours or mine.
It happens all the time.
Wild hearts run out of time.
Wild hearts run out of time.
P. J. PROBY lyrics - The Day That Lorraine Came Down
She lives upon a mountain overlooking Salt Kitty Ridge
I see her every morning walk her dog across the bridge
Her daddy's got a shotgun and a whet firm keen-eyed aim
Protecting never neclecting sweet Lorraine
Sweet Lorraine I'll never be the same
She changed my life the day she came to town
The day that Lorraine came down
I'm filling at the filling station feeling down and blue
Knowing she is out of reach and nothing I can do
But momma always said she was raising a determined man
I can't give up I've got to see Lorraine again
Sweet Lorraine I'll never be the same
She changed my life the day she came to town
The day Lorraine came down
I'm shakin' like a jittery wet nosed day old pup
Tonight I plan to climb way up to Kitty mountain top
And even if I have to dodge her daddy's shot gun blasts
I'm gonna bring her down and make Lorraine mine at last
Sweet Lorraine I'll never be the same
She changed my life the day she came to town
The day that Lorraine came down
WILSON PICKETT lyrics - Don't Let The Green Grass Fool You
(Jerry Akines, Johnnie Bellmon, Victor Drayton, Reginald Turner)
Girl try to remember when we didn't have no shoes
We stuck together just me and you
It took a long time to get what we got today
Now you wanna give it all up for another guy
Baby, I'm tellin you don't let the green grass fool ya
Don't let it change your mind
It's gonna be hard for me babe-a
Feel my life all over, but baby you got the love
That I really need
Cause if you leave, leave me this way babe-a
You know what? I may not live to see a brand new day
Oh baby, don't let, the green grass fool ya
Don't let it, change your mind
You know why, it may be greener on the other side, babe-a
But right in my arms is where you belong uumm,
[Instrumental]
Don't let, the green grass fool ya, don't let it change
Your mind, oh baby, you'll be free er on the other side
Baby, but right, right, in my arms is where you belong
Baby, come on, come on you got to mean it
Don't let, the green grass fool ya, baby, don't let it
Change your mind
Don't let it fool ya, babe-a in my arms is where you belong
