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 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

So just put your mind at ease

'Cause I've got the cash girl

To pay down your rent girl

Sugar sugar sugar sugar



[Chorus]



I've gotta a crib baby

A room for you kid 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

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
