WILL SMITH lyrics - Don't Say Nothin'



Yo

When I released my first single back in like '86

People was like oh you know that's popcorn and you know they weak

You know then I mess around I go world trade on them

Bangin' out them multi-plastic still got negativity to bring

My thing is you can't say nothing nice don't say nothing



Take your place allow me to flex a taste

As my accomplishments bring up my comp like mase

Face me the star of stage and TV

My face be seen in almost every country

Grammy winner soon to be oscar nominee

Who he that's dressed jiggy straight from west Philly

Thought I was whack 'cause I wanted to act

Now every brother and his mother that rap be trying to do that

The ill kid

Hundred million dollar bill kid

The one you love to chill with come on keep it real kid

Don't try to act like this summer at the greek

You won't be bumpin' the big Willie in your jeep

I know y'all still feel me

Really don't act silly

Thought I feel off just becuase I left Philly

Took a break from the rap thing went on hiatus

I picked up the art of acting and multiplied papers

I chilled on silk sofas chatting with Operah

She asked me if it's true that me and Jeff broke up

While y'all kids busy playing drug pimp and playa

I was at my crib in Barbados chillin' with Jada

Vertex is me the magnanamous

God you sayin' damn I've always been a fan of his

Y'all know how it is oh wait hold up y'all don't

Look here y'all don't say nothing than I won't



Just don't say nothing



Man I love being me ready to rock the block

With some more hot top notch - for you to cop

No more mr. nice guy

My whole life I've been smiling when I felt like whiling

Jealousy swinging on me made his attack

(he soft he whack man that ain't real rap)

You beleive that

It hurt me at first but it's cool

Took the insults feed it to my ego for fuel

Now everywhere I turn a dead end

Hundred women coming at me waving pads and pens

And they be screaming out

(oh my lord)

Did you see it's that brother from

(ID4)

Now can I please get

(a picture and your signature)

Sure you can miss

(oh my god my girlfriends they ain't gonna beleive this)

Worldwide wait nah hold up galactic

Hear my name don't nothing change but the accent

Bangok to Madagascar they wanna see me

Prince epe in Spain Japan I'm cota eshe

I like my steaks thick and my jets private

And my son to ride in the cockpit

I know he's only four taking lessons from the pilot

While I'm on my cell with my broker getting stock tips

Find a magazine and I read the hottest gossip

Man who'd a thought my life would be such an interesting topic

Well y'all know how it is wait hold up y'all don't

Well look here y'all don't say nothing than I won't



Just don't say nothing

Just don't say nothing

Just don't say nothing

Just don't say nothing



Go ahead adjust the balance and the bass in your speakers

Make sure my voice sounding crisp in your tweeters

I'm about to show you how a man like me works

Shorty get ice five carrots and nothing cheaper

Four five chromed out former two seater

Fifty inch sony to watch Siskel and Ebert

Cause I'm about to get two thumbs ten toes one knee and probobly a couple

Of elbows

Cause yo I'm the man and the whole world knows

Rock film fests to vos and rap shows

All the critics jealous people and back-stabbers

My so-called friends who been nothing but actors

You're way of carachter but now who's the bomb

It's Will from west Phil just slightly transformed

Y'all know what it is

Ah damn that's right y'all don't

But look here y'all don't say nothing then trust me I won't



Just don't say nothing

Just don't say nothing

Just don't say nothing

Just don't say nothing


THE FOUR TOPS WITH THE SUPREMES lyrics - If I Could Build My Whole World Around You



(Harvey Fuqua/Johnny Bristol/Vernon Bullock)



If I could build my whole world around you, darlin'

First I'd put heaven by your side

Pretty flowers would grow wherever you walk, honey

And over your head would be the bluest sky

And I'd take every drop of rain

And wash all your troubles away

I'd have the whole world built around you

And that would be all right, oh yes it would



If I could build my whole world around you

I'd make your eyes the morning sun

I'd put so much love where there is sorrow

I'd put joy where there's never been love

And I'd give my love to you

To keep for the rest of your life

And happiness would surely be ours

And that would be all right, oh yes it would



Oh, if I could build my whole world around you

I'd give you the greatest gift any woman could possess

And I'd step into this world you've created

And give you true love and tenderness

And there'd be something new with every tomorrow

To make this world better as days go by



If I could build my whole world around you

If I could build my whole world around you

Then that would be all right, oh yeah


PAUL ANKA lyrics - Mr. Brightside



[Originally by The Killers]



I'm coming out of my cage

And I've been doing just fine

Gotta gotta be down

Because I want it all

It started out with a kiss

How did it end up like this

It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss

Now I'm falling asleep

And she's calling a cab

While he's having a smoke

And she's taking a drag

Now they're going to bed

And my stomach is sick

And it's all in my head

But she's touching his-chest

Now, he takes off her dress

Now, letting me go



And I just can't look its killing me

And taking control

Jealousy, turning saints into the sea

Swimming through sick lullabies

Choking on your alibis

But it's just the price I pay

Destiny is calling me

Open up my eager eyes

'Cause I'm Mr. Brightside



I'm coming out of my cage

And I've been doing just fine

Gotta gotta be down

Because I want it all

It started out with a kiss

How did it end up like this

It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss

Now I'm falling asleep

And she's calling a cab

While he's having a smoke

And she's taking a drag

Now they're going to bed

And my stomach is sick

And it's all in my head

But she's touching his-chest

Now, he takes off her dress

Now, letting me go



Cause I just can't look its killing me

And taking control

Jealousy, turning saints into the sea

Swimming through sick lullabies

Choking on your alibis

But it's just the price I pay

Destiny is calling me

Open up my eager eyes

'Cause I'm Mr. Brightside



I never...

I never...

I never...

I never...


RICKY NELSON lyrics - Stop, Look And Listen



When I was a little bitty boy

Sittin' on my papa's knee

I still remember

Every word my papa said to me

Now boy if you ever meet

A pretty woman walkin' down the street

You'd better stop real still

Look both ways

Listen, or you'll get into trouble



When you see her go struttin' by

Givin' you that evil eye

If she's got a kind of dreamy look

Just enough to get you shook

Now boy, don't you lose your head

Pay attention (to) what your papa said

You'd better stop real still

Look both ways

Listen, or you'll get into trouble



She'll drive ya crazy with the way she walks

She'll drive ya crazy with the way she talks

And you'll think you're gonna lose your mind

because a pretty woman looks so fine

And the very first thing you know

You'll be tellin' her you love her, so

You'd better stop real still

Look both ways

Listen, or you'll get into trouble



Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah....


CHER lyrics - Holdin' Out For Love



Had my share of disco nights

Did some talking, rainbow lights

Easy smile shines like gold

Burning hot and turning cold

Live that kind of life before

Lost the note to learn the score

Something tells me that

There must be something more



[Chorus:]

This time I'm holdin' out for love

Made up my mind

I'm holdin' out for love

Mister this time

I'm holdin' on, holdin' back

Holdin' out for love



Had my fill of party scenes

One night stands and neon dreams

Good times friends and fancy clothes

Flashing highs and crashing lows

So if that's what's on your mind

Well I'll just take a pass this time

I believe I rather leave it all behind



[Chorus]



I need to find someone

Who'll still be holding me

When the dance is done



[Chorus x3]


DARYL HALL AND JOHN OATES lyrics - Bad Habits And Infections



Come to me like I'm the doctor

Say you need someone to talk ta'

You want advice go ask your mother

One bad turn deserves another

'Cause I've been cursed with your infection

Makin' my head hurt makin' my eyes burn

You've taken me in the wrong direction

And left me there with no protection



Bad Habits can be cured by cutting

them out

Infections can be cured by cutting

them out



Maybe you'll find a friend up in the

Rainbow room

If you can dodge the drinks that

they've been throwing at you

Anyway, your boyfriend should be

coming home soon

Then you can hide your life away



Bad Habits can be cured by cutting

them out

Infections can be cured by cutting

them out



Come to me like I'm the doctor

Come to me like I'm the doctor

Come to me like I'm the doctor

I am the doctor

I am the doctor


JAMES TAYLOR lyrics - Sarah Maria



Well the moon is in the ocean and the stars are in the sky.

And all that I can see is my sweet Maria's eyes.

Sarah, Sarah Maria. Sarah Maria, ya, ya, ya, ya.



Well, you know about the sugar cane that comes from way down South.

She's got one end in her hand, she's got one end in her mouth.

Come on, Sarah, Sarah Maria. Sarah Maria, ya, ya, ya, ya.



She took me out walking to the corner of the world

Where everyone was a-talking about such a pretty little girl.

Come on, Sarah, Sarah Maria. Sarah Maria, ya, ya, ya, ya.



Well the moon is in the ocean and the stars are in the sky.

And all that I can see is my sweet Maria's eyes.

Sarah, Sarah Maria. Sarah Maria, ya, ya, ya, ya.

Sarah, Sarah Maria. Sarah Maria, ya, ya, ya, ya.


RUSH lyrics - Red Tide



Nature has some new plague

To run in our streets

History some new wrinkle

We are doomed to repeat

Fugitives at the bedroom door

Lovers pause to find an open store

Rain is burning on the forest floor

And the red tide kisses the shore

THIS IS NOT A FALSE ALARM

THIS IS NOT A TEST

Stay out of the sun

It only burns my skin

Sky full of poison

And the atmosphere's too thin

Bless the sun, the rain no more

River running like an open sore

Black wind falling to the ocean floor

And the red tide washes ashore

THIS IS NOT A FALSE ALARM

THIS IS NOT A TEST

Nowhere we can fly away

Nowhere we can rest

The party is disrupted by

An uninvited guest

Deadline approaches

For the weary land

It used to be something

But we let it run down in our hands

Too late for debate, too bad to ignore

Quiet rebellion leads to open war

Bring a sea-change to the factory floor

As the red tide covers the shore

Now's the time to turn the tide

Now's the time to fight

Let us not go gently

To the endless winter night

Now's the time to make the time

While hope is still in sight

Let us not go gently

To the endless winter night

MOTORHEAD lyrics - Overnight Sensation



I know you're only talking

To keep the silence out

Maybe you should listen and leave some room for doubt

You're just handing out bad reputations

Why don't you shut your mouth



Overnight sensation,

All mouth and no soul

The bad boys sold your franchise

And stole your Rock 'n' Roll



I know I ain't no beauty

But I know who I am

I ain't running for sheriff

I ain't that kind of man

To live outside the law, my dear

You gotta give a damn



Overnight sensation

You be shot full of holes

The bad boys stole your franchise

And stole your Rock 'n' Roll



You know you put the hurt on me

You do it all the same

Us guys ain't s'pose to hurt at all

Our faces fit the frame

You know I'm only talking

To keep you here with me

Maybe you should listen

How hard could it be

Good manners don't cost nothing

But that ain't what you want from me



Overnight sensation

Turn your hard heart cold

The bad boys sold your franchise

And stole your Rock 'n' Roll



You're just looking for someone

To take your spirit home

The bad boys sold your franchise, baby

And stole your Rock 'n' Roll


TOM JONES lyrics - After The Tears



Do you want a shoulder

I only want to hold you

In your hour of need

I hate to say I told you so

But you should've let him go

It just wasn't meant to be



Let me make your pain a little lighter

I can help you make your world a little brighter



I'll be there when the shouting's over

I'll be here after the tears

You just may need me to hold you

I'll be here after the tears



Just a matter of time now

Till I make you mine now

It could happen any day

Waited patiently

Now it looks like you're gonna be free

The tide is turning my way



I'll see you through all the confussion

I'll be your only true solution



I'll be here when the party's over

I'll be here after the tears

You just may need another lover

I'll be here after the tears



Hold on

Love is not so far away

Can you hear it calling

Be strong

I'll be waiting in the wings



(I'll be here when the shouting's over)

i can make it better

(I'll be here after the tears)

I can make it better

(You just may need me to hold you)

I can make it better

(I'll be here after the tears)

(I can make it better)



I'll be here when the party's over

(I can make it better)

I'll be here after the tears

(I can make it better)

You just may need another lover

(I can make it better)

I'll be here after the tears

(I can make it better)

THE SEX PISTOLS lyrics - Seventeen



(J. Rotten, G. Matlock, S. Jones, P. Cook)



You're only twenty nine

gotta lot to learn,

but when your mummy dies

she will not return



We like noise it's our choice

if's what we wanna do,

we don't care about long hair

I don't wear flares



See my face not a trace

no reality,

I don't work I just speed

that's all I need



I'm a lazy sod...

that's what we say you're

I'm a lazy sod...

I'm so lazy

I can't even be bothered

Lazy Lazy


K. D. LANG lyrics - Your Smoke Screen



(David Barbe)



The medicine has taken you over

Washing away any desire

How does it feel at the end of the day

When your energy's gone and it's slowly replaced

By the numbing sensation

Cleaning both sides of your brain



I remember the stars in your eyes

But even the bright stars will fade out sometimes

Do you remember our very last kiss

Are you aware that you're terribly missed

Do you remember how to remember



I should have seen through your smoke screen


THE MONKEES lyrics - If I Ever Get To Saginaw Again



If I ever get to Saginaw again,

A locale that's somewhat off the beaten track.

Get to see the girl I never saw again

Who must know why I have never ventured back.

We we young,

And so alive

And now I wonder if she'd cling to me,

Become my very own as she did then,

If I ever get to Saginaw again.



If I ever get to Saginaw again,

It won't be in Spring with meadows turning green.

It won't be to tangle with the law again.

And it won't be with someone one only seventeen,

Who gave her love,

And made me hers.

And when you find the one you're dreaming of

Who thinks to ask, "How old is love?",

Not "when"

You may never get to Saginaw again.



If I ever get to Saginaw again

I will get to see son who bears my name.

And perhaps I'll quietly withdraw again

When I see the little man that he became.

And how I yearn

To watch him grow.

A father's love is maybe all it takes

To not repeat those sad mistakes of men

If I ever get to Saginaw again.

BONEY M lyrics - Give It Up



You come home late at night

You tell me it's all right

But something must be wrong

I wanna hold you close

But your reaction shows

You keep me hanging on



I'm tired of all your lies

Your silly alibies

Don't wanna play that game

If you don't know the rules

I'll send you back to school

You put a man to shame



Give it up, give it up

I just wanna make it stop, make it stop

I know I'm not the only one, only one

Maybe you're the lonely one, lonely one

Give it up, give it up

I just wanna make it stop, make it stop

'cause I know you bring me down, bring me down

The lover of my life



What happened to our plans

We've got a one night stand

You'd better let it be

If there's another man

I'll do the best I can

To bring you back to me



Give it up, give it up

I just wanna make it stop, make it stop

I know I'm not the only one, only one

Maybe you're the lonely one, lonely one

Give it up, give it up

I just wanna make it stop, make it stop

'cause I know you bring me down, bring me down

The lover of my life



Give it up, give it up

I just wanna make it stop, make it stop

I know I'm not the only one, only one

Maybe you're the lonely one, lonely one

Give it up, give it up

I just wanna make it stop, make it stop

'cause I know you bring me down, bring me down

The lover of my life



Give it up, give it up

I just wanna make it stop, make it stop

I know I'm not the only one, only one

Maybe you're the lonely one, lonely one

Give it up, give it up

I just wanna make it stop, make it stop

'cause I know you bring me down, bring me down

The lover of my life


MARIAH CAREY lyrics - Anytime You Need A Friend



If you're lonely

And need a friend

And troubles seem like

They never end

Just remember to keep the faith

And love will be there to light the way

Anytime you need a friend

I will be here

You'll never be alone again

So don't you fear

Even if you're miles away

I'm by your side

So don't you ever be lonely

Love will make it alright

When the shadows are closing in

And your spirit diminishing

Just remember you're not alone

And love will be there

To guide you home

Anytime you need a friend

I will be here

You'll never be alone again

So don't you fear

Even if you're miles away

I'm by your side

So don't you ever be lonely

Love will make it alright

If you just believe in me

I will love you endlessly

Take my hand

Take me into your heart

I'll be there forever baby

I won't let go

I'll never let go

Anytime you need a friend

I will be here

You'll never be alone again

So don't you fear

Even if you're miles away

I'm by your side

So don't you ever be lonely

It's alright

It's alright


CHRIS DE BURGH lyrics - Much More Than This



Sometimes the man in me gets restless,

I need to get away from you,

And spend some time with someone that I knew,

Just to see her for a night,

And in the candlelight,

To talk and remember early days;



Sometimes the woman in you's uneasy,

I can see it in your eyes,

Just like me you need to know,

Can you still fly,

Can you still arouse the passions,

Of another man,

And if you carry it through, what would I do?



It would take much more than this,

To break a love so long in the making,

It would take much more than talk or dreams,

To shake so strong a foundation - more than this;



Sometimes the man in me gets lonely,

When I am away from you,

And in the darkness of another hotel room,

If there's someone in the night saying,

"It's gonna be alright to ease away the pain of missing you,

What can I do?"



It would take much more than this,

To break a love so long in the making,

It would take much more than talk or dreams,

To shake so strong a foundation - more than this...

PROCOL HARUM lyrics - Luskus Delph



Tulips lips oh luskus delph

Your baking breath breeds body 'x'

With silken measures try to gauge

The inside sweetness of your cave.

Peach preserve your simmering jewel

Hid away like orphans' gruel

Help me find the widow's crack

Make me stick like ceiling wax

Almond eyed my turkish pearl

Burn me up sweet oyster girl

Shove me in your steaming vat

Make me split like chicken fat


BOB DYLAN lyrics - Are You Ready?



Are you ready, are you ready?

Are you ready, are you ready?



Are you ready to meet Jesus?

Are you where you ought to be?

Will He know you when He sees you

Or will He say, "Depart from Me" ?



Are you ready, hope you're ready

Am I ready, am I ready?

Am I ready, am I ready?



Am I ready to lay down my life for the brethren

And to take up my cross?

Have I surrended to the will of God

Or am I still like the boss?



Am I ready, hope I'm ready.



When the destruction cometh swiftly

And there's no time to say a fare-thee-well

Have you decided whether you want to be

In heaven or in hell?



Are you ready, are you ready?



Have you got some unfinished business?

Is there something holding you back?

Are you thinking for yourself

Or are you following the pack?



Are you ready, hope you're ready

Are you ready?



Are you ready for the judgement?

Are you ready for that terrible swift sword?

Are you ready for Armageddon?

Are you ready for the day of the Lord?



Are you ready, I hope you're ready?

GILBERT O'SULLIVAN lyrics - At The Very Mention Of Your Name



At the very mention of your name

Get shivers down my back and in my brain

The parts that used to function normally

Are now as you can see

Acting very strange

Oh at the very mention of your name

Don't know why but if I were tied up in chains

I would somehow be released

All problems too would cease

My heart would never feel no pain

At the very mention of your name

At the very moment you arrive

I stop living and I start to feel alive

You have the power that's taken over me

Led me to believe

Call it what you like

At the very moment you arrive

I suspect that I will pinch myself to find

That it really isn't true

It really can't be you

Walking up the garden drive

At the very moment you arrive



And although it's been said well over a thousand times

Here's a thousand more

Will you still be mine forever and evermore



At the very mention of your name

What am I to do and who am I to blame

The effect upon my life can only be described

A bit like being hit my a train

At the very mention of your name


JOHN DENVER lyrics - Dancing With The Mountains



Everybody's got the dancing fever, everybody loves to rock and roll.

Play it louder baby, play is faster, funky music's gotta stretch your soul.

Just relax and let the rhythm take you, don't you be afraid to lose control.

If your heart has found some empty spaces,

Dancing's just the thing to make you whole.



I am one who dances with the mountains. I am one who dances in the wind.

I am one who dances on the ocean,

my partner's more than pieces, more than friends.



Were you there the night they lost the lightning?

Were you there the day the earth stood still?

Did you see the famous and the fighting? Did you hear the prophet tell his tale?



We are one when dancing with the mountains.

We are one when singing in the wind.

We are one when thinking of each other

More than partner's, more than pieces, more than friends.


BRENDA LEE lyrics - I'll Only Miss Him When I Think Of Him



(S. Cahn, J. Van Heusen)



I'll only miss him, when I think of him

And I'll think of him, all the time

Likely I'll spend my days

Hearing his turn of phrase

Things I found hard to praise

Right now would seem sublime



The truth is I'll only miss him

When some stranger laughs

'Cause it's still his laugh

My heart hears maybe in time, I guess

The longing will grow, the slightest bit less

And there will be moments, yes

When it disappears, I'll bet I'll forget him completely

In about a hundred years



I'll bet I'll forget him completely

In about a hundred years

REBA MCENTIRE lyrics - My Sister



(Roxie Dean/Bonnie Baker/Amy Dalley)



Hey girl it's me i just called to tell you hi

Call me when you get this

Haven't talked lately so hard to find the time

Give the boys a big kiss

Tell them that I miss them

By the way I miss you too



I was thinking just today

About how we used to play

Barbie dolls and make-up

Tea parties dress up

I remember how we'd fight

We made up and laughed all night

Wish we were kids again

My sister my friend



Oh yeah before I forget I met someone

I think I really like him

I was wondering if I'm jumping the gun

By going out on a limb

And invite him home for Christmas

To meet the family



Seem like just yesterday

You brought home old what's his name

He had been drinking

What were you thinking

After dinner he passed out

We can laugh about it now

We've learned a lot since then

My sister my friend



Do you think you could come and see me sometime soon

We could just hang out like we used to

It's late and I should go

But I can'y hang up the phone

Until I tell you

What I don't tell you enough

Even though at times it seemed

We were more like enemies

I'd do it all again

My sister my friend


PORTER WAGONER AND DOLLY PARTON lyrics - 10-4 Over And Out



(Porter Wagoner - McCarty)



10-4 over and out the way we talk sometimes you'd think our love is filled with doubt

But when we're all alone by the fireside of our home

The angry words we spoke that day have forever gone away then it's love we talk about

To the world outside we say 10-4 over and out



Hello this is Unit 2 callin' Unit 1 this is Unit 2 tryin' Unit 1

Do you read me Unit 1 do you read me

(Yeah I read you Unit 2 I sure can read you just like a book is all

And I know what you called for I know what you're gonna say

I'm gonna be a little bit late

Well I know you're a little bit late's are usually two or three or four

Or sometimes even more hours long

And I am sick and tired of) 10-4 over and out

10-4 over and out...



This is Unit 1 callin' Unit 2 do you read me Unit 2 you better answer me Unit 2

I'm gettin' sick of foolin' around with this CB radio

I'm gonna cram this thing down your throat

(I read you mhm do I golly I read you Unit 1 loud and clear

But seems like there's a little turbulence on the line

Honey I'm sorry that I'm runnin' so late but I stopped off here

To see this friend of mine who's been awfully awfully sick

And when I got back to the car you know this radio had run my battery down

I know it's hard for you to believe)

Oh I believe you I really do believe you ole CB and you 10-4 over and out

10-4 over and out...

10-4 baby I'm gonna have to be clear with you I'm always movin' on

Oh you've never been clear in your life you was born

I'm gonna get rid of this radio it's gonna get me killed I tell you

I'm gonna have to get rid of that radio just as soon as we get home

Everybody in the country knows what we're talkin' about too

They listen in on us I know I know

METALLICA lyrics - All Nightmare Long



(James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett, Robert Trujillo)



Luck. Runs. Out.

Crawl from the wreckage one more time

Horrific memory twists the mind

Dark, rugged, cold and hard to turn

Path of destruction, feel it burn

Still life

Incarnation

Still life

Infamy



Hallucination

Heresy

Still you run, what's to come?

What's today?



'Cause we hunt you down without mercy

Hunt you down all nightmare long

Feel us breathe upon your face

Feel us shift, every move we trace

Hunt you down without mercy

Hunt you down all nightmare long, yeah

Luck. Runs.



You crawl back in

But your luck runs out



1.2.



Luck. Runs. Out.



The light that is not light is here

To flush you out with your own fear

You hide, you hide, but will be found

Release your crypt without a sound



Still life

Immolation

Still life

Infamy



Hallucination

Heresy

Still you run, what's to come?

What's today?



'Cause we hunt you down without mercy

Hunt you down all nightmare long

Feel us breathe upon your face

Feel us shift, every move we trace

Hunt you down without mercy

Hunt you down all nightmare long

Luck. Runs.



You crawl back in

But your luck runs out



Then you crawl back in

Into your obsession

Never to return

This is your confession



Hunt you down without mercy

Hunt you down all nightmare long

Feel us breathe upon your face

Feel us shift, every move we trace

Hunt you down without mercy

Hunt you down all nightmare long, yeah

Luck. Runs.



You crawl back in

But your luck runs out



Your luck runs out


SLY AND THE FAMILY STONE lyrics - Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)



Lookin' at the devil

Grinnin' at his gun

Fingers start shakin'

I begin to run

Bullets start chasin'

I begin to stop

We begin to wrestle

I was on the top



I want to thank you falettinme

Be mice elf agin

Thank you falettinme

Stiff all in the collar

Fluffy in the face

Chit chat chatter tryin'

Stuffy in the place

Thank you for the party

But I could never stay

Many thangs is on my mind

Words in the way



I want to thank you falettinme

Be mice elf agin

Thank you falettinme

Be mice elf agin



Dance to the music

Sing a simple song

Mama's so happy

Be mice elf agin

(Different strokes for different folks, yeah)

Thank you falettinme

Be mice elf agin

I want to thank you falettinme

Be mice elf agin

Thank you falettinme

Be mice elf agin

Thank you falettinme

HUEY LEWIS AND THE NEWS lyrics - Give Me The Keys (And I'll Drive You Crazy)



I can see you've got your motor running

Don't you think you're movin kinda slow

If you feel the way I feel

Let me get behind the wheel

We don't need any destination baby

Anywhere you wanna go



Give me the keys, and I'll drive you crazy

Give me the keys, I'll drive you out of your mind



Honey we don't need no registration

We don't need no license anymore

Let me in the driver's side

And we can take a ride

We don't need to ask directions baby

I know where you wanna go



Give me the keys, and I'll drive you crazy

Give me the keys, I'll drive you out of your mind

Give me the keys, and I'll drive you crazy

Give me the keys, I'll drive you out of your mind



Maybe we'll just ride into the sunset

Drive around til who knows where or when

And when it gets a little dark

We'll find a quiet place to park

And when the sun comes up in the morning baby

Do it all over again


ERIC CLAPTON lyrics - Blue Eyes Blue



(Diane Warren)



I thought that you'd be loving me.

I thought you were the one who'd stay forever.

But now forever's come and gone

And I'm still here alone.



'Cause you were only playing,

You were only playing with my heart.

I was never waiting,

I was never waiting for the tears to start.



[Chorus:]

It was you who put the clouds around me.

It was you who made the tears fall down.

It was you who broke my heart in pieces.

It was you, it was you who made my blue eyes blue.

Oh, I never should have trusted you.



I thought that I'd be all you need.

In your eyes I thought I saw my heaven.

And now my heaven's gone away

And I'm out in the cold.



'Cause you had me believing,

You had me believing in a lie.

Guess I couldn't see it,

I guess I couldn't see it till I saw goodbye.



[Chorus]



'Cause you were only playing,

You were only playing with my heart.

I was never waiting,

I was never waiting for the tears to start.



It was you who put the clouds around me.

It was you.



It was you who put those clouds around me.

It was you who made those tears fall down.

Only you who broke my heart in pieces.

It was you, it was you who made my blue eyes blue.

Oh, I never should have trusted you.



Oh, I never should have trusted you.

Oh, I never should have trusted you.

Oh, I never should have trusted you.


BEE GEES lyrics - Horizontal



I have been lying under a pillow of dreams

And feeling moments of swimming in cream

This is the start of the end, Goodbye

Hours of facing my life, have damned



You are a good friend

Friendly as goood friends can be

Your father wants you to live on his knee

This is the start of the end, climb by me

Red sides and blue sides within, remind me



I have been lying under a pillow of dreams

And feeling moments of swimming in cream

This is the start of the end, Goodbye

Hours of facing my life, have damned.

A FLOCK OF SEAGULLS lyrics - I Ran (So Far Away)



I walk along the avenue

I never thought I'd meet a girl like you

Meet a girl like you



With auburn hair and tawny eyes

The kind of eyes that hypnotize me through

Hypnotize me through



And I ran

I ran so far away

I just ran

I ran all night and day

I couldn't get away



A cloud appears above your head

A beam of light comes shining down on you

Shining down on you



The cloud is moving nearer still

Aurora borealis comes in view

Aurora comes in view



And I ran

I ran so far away

I just ran

I ran all night and day

I couldn't get away



Reached out a hand to touch your face

You're slowly disappearing from my view

Pearing from my view



Reached out a hand to try again

I'm floating in a beam of light with you

A beam of light with you



And I ran

I ran so far away

I just ran

I ran all night and day

I couldn't get away



And I ran

I ran so far away

I just ran

I couldn't get away


AMY GRANT lyrics - Grape, Grape Joy



(Amy Grant)



I am a small and lonely grape

Clutching to the vine

Waiting for the day when I'll become my Savior's wine

Oh wouldn't French cusisine just yearn it

I've eternity to ferment

But knowing me I'd end up rippled

In a cellar of chablis



Are you a small and lonely grape

Clutching to the vine

Waiting for the day when you'll

Become your Savior's wine

Don't give up hope ye heavy laden

You don't want to be a raisin

'Cause there's a grape, grape joy in Jesus

In the vineyard of the Lord


WEIRD AL YANKOVIC lyrics - Since You've Been Gone



Since you've been gone

Well, I feel like I've been chewing on tinfoil

Since you've been gone

It's like I got a great big mouthful of cod liver oil

Oh well, I'm feelin like I stuck my hand

Inside a blender and turned it on

You know, I've been in a buttload of pain

Since you've been gone



(Since you've been gone)

I couldn't feel any worse if you dropped

A two-ton bowling ball on my toes

(Since you've been gone)

It couldn't hurt any more if you shoved

A red-hot cactus up my nose



Since you've been gone

Well, it feels like I'm getting tetanus shots every day

Since you've been gone

It's like I've got an ice cream headache that won't go away

Ever since that day you left me

I've been so miserable, my dear

I feel almost as bad as I did

When you were still here

GEORGE STRAIT lyrics - Our Paths May Never Cross



Lady I know your out there somewhere

Like me your feeling lost

Maybe right now we both need each other

But our paths may never cross



People like us never find each other

Love is our greatest loss

Baby I know you are out there some where

But our paths may never cross



We're to people that should be together

'Cause we're lonely at the very same time

But there's a million too many good reasons

Why your love can never be mine



Maybe this song was written for you

Listen, don't turn it off

I wish you could learn it and come sing it with me

But our paths may never cross



I wish you could learn it and come sing it with me

But our paths may never cross


SIMPLE MINDS lyrics - All The Things She Said



Don't you look back on a big lost world

Crying out tomorrow

Don't you look down like the heroes say

Come tell me all about it

Take me to the streets where the bonfires burn

Take me in your arms and I'll fade away

When I hear you say what you got to say

Anywhere you go, you know I'll still be waiting

All the things she said, she said

Little darling close your eyes, there'll be no compromising

Of all the things she said, she said



Throw me to the street where the heartbeats beating

"Beating all around me"

To the peaceful revolution

And the perfect wave, surround me

Tell me 'bout the ocean moving in slow motion

I see it glitter in the sun

Then it's freezing in the moonlight

Never look back, never look back, never look away



If freedom comes and goes, you know I'll still be waiting

All the things she said, she said

You've fought the fight so long, no surrender to temptation

Of all the things she said, she said



Stars will fall out for you

Luck will surrender

I'm calling out to you



Oh to be near you in the first morning light

I'd be with you, I dream about you

If I could leave here, I would leave here tonight

I'd be with you, I'd stay with you tonight

Tonight



Anywhere you go, you know I'll still be waiting

Of all the things she said, she said

When I look into your eyes, I see a new day rising

Oh all the things she said, she said

Through the eyes of love, and to never know what hate is

Of all the things she said, she said

She said, this is our time, she said, this is our place

This is the space my heart wants to be

Little darling close your eyes, there'll be no compromising

All the things she said, she said


NINE INCH NAILS lyrics - You Know What You Are?



I tried to stick myself through try to get to the other side

I had to patch up the cracks and the holes that i had to hide

For a little bit of time even made it work (ok)

Just long enough to really make it hurt

When you figured me out and it all just rotted away



[Chorus:]

Don't you fucking know what you are? [x3]

Com'on get back to where you belong!



You better take a good look 'cause I'm full of shit

With every bit of my heart I've tried to believe

You can dress it up, you can try to pretend

But you can't change anything in the end



[Chorus]



Remember where you came from, remember what you are



[Chorus]


HELEN REDDY lyrics - Leave Me Alone (Ruby Red Dress)



(Linda Laurie)



Big ole ruby red dress wanders 'round the town

Talkin to herself now, sometimes sittin' down

Don't you get too close now, ruby runs away

Poor ole ruby red dress born on a sorry day

I can hear her say



Leave me alone, won't you leave me alone

Please leave me alone now, leave me alone

Leave me alone, please leave me alone, yes leave me

Leave me alone won't you leave me alone

Please leave me alone, no leave me alone

Leave me along, just leave me alone, oh leave me



Big ole ruby red dress, everybody laughs

Say she's got no future and never made no past

Something hurt that ruby, shomething she can't bear

Ya look at her real close now, you see a little tear

When she says now



Leave me alone, won't you leave me alone

Please leave me alone now, leave me alone

Leave me alone, please leave me alone, yes leave me

Leave me alone won't you leave me alone

Please leave me alone, no leave me alone

Leave me along, just leave me alone, oh leave me



Some folks say some farm boy up from Tennessee

Taught it all to Ruby, then just let her be

Her daddy tried to hide it, tried to keep things cool

But something happened to Ruby, she broke down to a fool

who just said now



Leave me alone, won't you leave me alone

Please leave me alone now, leave me alone

Leave me alone, please leave me alone, yes leave me

Leave me alone won't you leave me alone

Please leave me alone, no leave me alone

Leave me along, just leave me alone, oh leave me


MEAT LOAF lyrics - Wasted Youth



[All spoken by Jim Steinman]



I remember everything!

I remember every little thing as if it happened only yesterday.

I was barely seventeen and I once killed a boy with a Fender guitar

I don't remember if it was a Telecaster or a Stratocaster,

but I do remember that it had a heart of chrome and a voice like a horny angel!

I don't remember if it was a Telecaster or a Stratocaster,

but I do remember that it wasn't at all easy.

It required the perfect combination of the correct power chords,

and the precise angle from which to strike.

The guitar bled for a week afterward and the blood was - ooh -

dark and rich like wild berries.

The blood of the guitar was Chuck Berry red.

The guitar bled for about a week afterward but it rung out beautifully,

and I was able to play notes that I had never even heard before.

So, I took my guitar and I smashed it against the wall,

I smashed it against the floor,

I smashed it against the body of a varsity cheerleader,

I smashed it against the hood of a car,

I smashed it against a 1981 Harley Davidson.

The Harley howled in pain.

The guitar howled in heat.

And I ran up the stairs to my parents' bedroom.

Mommy and Daddy were sleeping in the moonlight.

Slowly I opened the door, creeping in the shadows,

right up to the foot of their bed.

I raised the guitar high above my head,

and just as I was about to bring the guitar crashing down upon the centre of the bed,

my father woke up screaming:

"Stop! Wait a minute! Stop it boy! What do you think you're doing?

That's no way to treat an expensive musical instrument!"

And I said "God dammit Daddy! You know I love you,

but you've got a hell of a lot to learn about rock and roll!"

ABBA lyrics - SOS



Where are those happy days

they seem so hard to find?

I try to reach for you

but you have closed your mind

whatever happened to our love?

I wish I understood

it used to be so nice

it used to be so good



So when you're near me

darling can't you hear me

SOS

the love you gave me

nothing else can save me

SOS

when you're gone

how can I even try to go on

when you're gone

though I try how can I carry on



You seem so far away

though you are standing near

you made me feel alive

but something died I fear

I really tried to make it out

I wish I understood

what happened to our love?

It used to be so good



So when you're near me

darling can't you hear me

SOS

the love you gave me

nothing else can save me

SOS

when you're gone

how can I even try to go on

when you're gone

though I try how can I carry on


INXS lyrics - Night Of Rebellion



Simple matters always seem

To make things complicated

I think of ways to understand

But it all get's away from me



I sense persuasion of a kind

It wraps itself around me

The changing message of your love

Rarely ever reaches me



Not talking only want action

Once you give in you are through

This is the night of rebellion



There used to be paint on the walls

But you're too young for money

They'd rather paint the whole town red

Than spend it on what they're told



Summer to winter is never the same

If it is then it's time to change

I don't want to rock your sacred boat

But there's holes in your sacred sails

SUZANNE VEGA lyrics - Lolita



Lolita

Almost grown

Lolita

Go on home



Hey girl

Don't be a dog all your life

Don't beg for

Some little crumb of affection



Don't try

To be somebody's wife

So young

You need a word of protection



Lolita

Almost grown

Lolita

Go on home



Hey girl

I've been where you are standing

Leaning in the doorway

In your mother's black dress



So hungry

For the one understanding

Looking for a token of

Blood or tenderness



Lolita

Almost grown

Lolita

Go on home



Lolita...


PIXIES lyrics - Havalina



Havalina, havalina, havalina, havalina



Walking in the breeze

On the plains of old Sedona

Arizona

Among the trees



Havalina, havalina, havalina, havalina



Havalina, havalina, havalina, havalina

TOM JONES lyrics - Baby It's Cold Outside (With Cerys From Catalonia)



(Frank Loesser)



I really can't stay

But baby, it's cold outside

I've got to go away

Ah, baby, it's cold outside

This evening has been

Been hoping that you'd drop in

So very nice

I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice

My mother will start to worry

Beautiful, what's your hurry

My father will be pacing the floor

Listen to that fireplace roar

So really I'd better scurry

Oh beautiful, please don't hurry

Maybe just a half a drink more

Why don't you put some records on while I pour

The neighbours might think

Oh baby, it's bad out there

Say, what's in this drink

There's no cabs to be had out there

I wish I knew how

Your eyes are like starlight now

To break this spell

I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell

I ought to say no, no, no, sir

Mind if I move a little closer

At least I'm gonna say that I tried

What's the sense of hurting my pride

I really can't stay

Baby don't hold out

Ahh, but it's cold outside

I simply must go

Oh, baby, it's cold outside

The answer is no

You know it's cold outside

This welcome has been

I'm lucky that you dropped in

So nice and warm

Look out the window at that storm

My sister will be suspicious

Oh, your lips look delicious

My brother will be there at the door

Like waves upon a tropical shore

My maiden aunt's mind is vicious

Eww, your lips are delicious

Well maybe just a cigarette more

Never such a blizzard before

I've got to go home

Ah, baby, you would freeze out there

Say, lend me a comb

You know it's up to your knees out there

You've really been grand

I thrill when you touch my hand

But don't you see

How can you do this thing to me

There's bound to be talk tomorrow

Making my life long sorrow

At least there will plenty implied

If you caught pneumonia and died

I really can't stay

Get over that old out

Ah but it's cold outside


GUNS 'N' ROSES lyrics - Human Being



Ready

It's A Whole Different Beast

1, 2, 3, 4

1, 2, 3, 4 (kazoo madness)

Oh yeeeahh

Oh yeeeeeeahh



Well if you don't like it

Go ahead find yourself a saint

Go ahead now try to find a boy

Who's gonna be what I ain't



What you need is a plastic doll

With a fresh coat of paint

Who's gonna sit through all the madness

And always act so quaint

I said - a, oh yeah, well - a



It's your new friend

You're really

Making a scene, and I've seen you

Bouncing around, from machine to machine

But you know that



They're never really

Never really what they seem

And you can count on

Generate some warmth, then you'll

See just what I mean

Oh baby, baby, baby yeah



[CHORUS:]



And if I'm acting like a king

Don't ya know it's cos uh I'm a human being

And if I want too many things

Don't ya know it's cos I'm a human being

And if I've got to dream

Don't ya know it's cos I'm a human being

And when it gets a bit obscene

Don't ya know it's cos I'm a human being

I don't gotta walk around with my head on down

Just like a human... oh no a human being

I can hold my head so high

Just like a human

A real proud human being



Won't you give me a little sip

Why won't you give me a drag of that cigarette

Why don't you try to give me something

That I'll never ever forget, but now

Could you blow it all

On a million dollar bet

Because you're liable to lose it

On a best lovin' you've had yet

Oh baby baby, oh yeah



[CHORUS]



It's like I'm talkin' 'bout the human race

You're tryin' to cover up a big disgrace

Oh baby, yeah, yeah, yeah

Come on, come on, come on, come on



Well I may think that

This whole scene is just a too appalling for me

Well, I may be the type who's just mad about

Funny little thing that I see, but I can

Colour that with history, and make it

Just what I want it to be, well I'm

Blowin' my change on the fan magazines

With all the Hollywood refugees

Oh baby baby oh yeah



[CHORUS]

ELVIS COSTELLO lyrics - Hora Decubitus



Siren is bending, the radio humming,

Sun is breaking through and the storm is coming

The score is obscure, the melody fractured

It went by my window

Refused to be captured



I hope that I wake up in time



Good King Neptune came flipping up my street

He was a sad case tripping up the staircase

Friends and relations are laughing at my head

Gathered like crows at the end of my bed



I hope that I wake up in time



If you can't or can't quite

Think again

You can't fight

That you might

Not be smite

If it's wrong, it's not right

I say it once and I'll say it again

Now and forever and ever, amen



Siren is bending, the radio is humming,

Who do you love now and who are you damning?

The score is obscure and the melody fractured

The bird by my window refused to be captured



I hope I wake up in time



If you can or can't quite

Think again

You can't fight

That you might

Not be smite

If it's wrong, it's not right

I'll say it once and I'll say it again

Life is a beautiful thing



I've said it before

I can't say it much more

Life is a beautiful thing

MICK JAGGER lyrics - God Gave My Everything



You can see it in a clear blue sky

You can see it in a woman's eyes

You can hear it in your baby's cries

You can hear it in your lover's sighs

You can touch it in a grain of sand

Yeah hold it right there

In the palm of your hand

Feel it 'round you everyday

And hear what I've got to say



God gave me everything I want

Come on

I'll give it all to you

God gave me everything I want

Come on

I'll give it all to you



I saw it in the midnight sun

And I feel it in the race I won

And I hear it in the windy storm

And I feel it in the icy dawn

And I smell it the wine I taste

And I see it in my father's face

And I hear it in a symphony

And I feel it in the love

You show for me



Yeah

God gave me everything I want

Oh come on

I'll give it all to you

God gave me everything I want



Come on

I'll give it all to you

God gave me everything I want

I can't stop can't stop

I'm still looking now

God gave me everything I want

Oh come on

I'll give it all to you



Crazy you said

It's all in your head



[Chorus]


JACKSON 5 / THE JACKSONS lyrics - Penny Arcade



(Mel Larson / Jerry Marcellino / Deke Richards)



Girl you got me dizzy

You put me on a merry-go-round

While my heart was spinning

You 're somewhere else messing around



When we're together

I think that I 'm your only prize

You change like the weather

A little heartbreaker in disguise



Riding on a ferris-wheel

Is the way I wanna feel

But I 'm standing in a line

And I can 't get a ticket to ride



Pretty little penny

You 're spending all the love I make

'til there isn 't any

You play your games

Penny arcade



Hey girl come on down

Get your feet back off the ground

Together baby we can ride

Come on honey don 't hide



Pretty little penny

You 're spending all the love I make

'til there isn 't any

You play your games

Penny arcade



Girl you make believing

You tell me candy covered lies

I 'm the one you needing

Forget about the other guys



I know how you got this name baby

You were playing fun and games

Playing fun and games

I was busy as a bee [busy busy]

Honey take care of your business with me



If you keep lying [better slow down a baby]

You 'll wake up crying

Pretty, pretty little baby

You 're spending all the love I make

'til there isn 't any

You play your games [penny arcade]

You play your games [penny arcade]

You play your games [penny arcade]


BARRY MANILOW lyrics - Bolero De Amor



There are times

You live as if in a dream

Drawn by your heart to a distant door

One that opens

For a moment

To a world that you've never known before



Were you real

Or were you part of a dream

Calling to me from across the floor?

In your sweet voice

There was music

And we danced the bolero de amor



Let the drums carry us away!

They say all there is to say

And all too soon the night becomes the day

And magical - miracle



You are real

And we are living a dream

Sharing a love we have hungered for

Let your passion soar like music

In the spell of bolero de amor



[Ensemble:]

The drums carried us away

They said all there was to say

And all too soon the night became day

And magical-miracle



There are times

You live as if in a dream

Drawn by your heart to a distant door

Trust your heart and

Take the moment

When you hear

Your bolero de amor

Amor

Amor!

STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN lyrics - Shake For Me



Well it sho look good but it....don't mean a thang to me

Yes it sho look good but it....don't mean a thang to me

I've got a cool shakin' baby....Shake like a wildwood tree



You went away baby....You got back a little too late

You went away baby....You got back a little too late

I've got a cool shakin' baby....Shake like jello on a plate



When my baby walks....You know she's fightin' below

Yeah when my baby walks....You know she's fightin' below

Yes and when she stops....(her) flesh, it shakes like jello



Well now shake little baby

Shake it for me

Yeah now shake little baby

Shake it for me

Yeah now shake a little baby

Shake like a wildwood tree



Now let it shake....Now let it shake

Now let it shake....Now let it shake

Let it shake a little baby

Shake like a wildwood tree


VAN HALEN lyrics - Big Fat Money



Al, do you want a click on this one?

I don't need no stinkin' click!

Two, three, four

Some say money is bad for the soul

Bad for the rock, bad for the roll

Bad for the heart, bad for the brain

Bad for damn near everything, oh yeah!



Oh. Hey, it must be good for somethin'

Come on, pay the rent

(Yes)



Telephone, telefax, telefuckin' teletrash

Tell a cop, tell a friend, think we hit the stoney end

Nothin' left, nothin' right, now they want a bigger bite

Everybody wants some, everybody wants big money. Oh yeah!

They want big fat money

That's what I want, big fat money



Too much temptation, 'nuff to kill a generation

Space station, starvation, premature ejaculation

This ain't groovy, this ain't funky

It's on my back but it ain't my monkey, no! Oh yeah

Gimme some o' that big, big money

That's what I want, big fat money. Yo!

Big, big money!



(Guitar Solo)



Ow! Smoke this, eat that, my old lady's gettin' fat

High rise, high rent, before it's earned it's all been spent

Where's it gonna come from? Who's it gonna go to?

I ain't beatin', but I'm bein' eaten by money. Oh yeah

Big big money. Woo!

Now gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme!

Some o' that big money. Oh yeah

That's what I want



Well all right (Big Money) Oh, big big money (Big Money)

Now gimme, gimme, gimme (Big money) some o' that big money (Money). Woo!

That's what I want

It's all I need

Gimme big fat money

Yeah, I gotta wallet full

Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme!

Grab me some a-that big fat money


THE CURE lyrics - Coming Up



Yeah it's a snow white original mix and she's fixing me

And the heartless thing she does is everything I love

It's all I ever need



Yeah it's a skin tight sensational strip and she's tripping me

And the shameless way she turns...

Is all I ever dream



You ask me why I use it

It could be just a way to pass the time

I never really choose it

It's just another play to lose...

My mind...



Yeah it's a bright light promotional taste and she's wasting me

And the tearless time she breaks is everytime I ache

It's all I ever feel



You ask me why I need it

It's maybe just a way to pass the time

I never really mean it

It's just another play to lose...

My mind...



Yeah it's a big night emotional kill and she's thrilling me

And the careless way she hurts...

Is all I ever scream



You ask me why I take it

It could be just a way to pass the time

I never really make it

It's just another play to lose...



I'm coming up in the dark

And every part of me is bruised and raw and pained

I'm coming up in the dark

And every part of me is loose and sore and stained

And so I play it when I use it if I need it then I take it

And I play it all again...

And then I hold you... so cold you... like I know you...

Yeah like I always know and like I always lose...

My mind... my mind...



Yeah I play it when I use it if I need it then I take it

And I play it all again... and then I hold you... so cold you...

Like I know you...



Yeah like I always know and like I always lose

Yeah like I always lose

Like I always lose...

My mind

BLONDIE lyrics - Songs Of Love



All of our days we cry out for love

And we cry for the times that we lost in all

When we had it all, all our hopes and our dreams

All of our days we cry out for love,

And we try to create it again, again

To deny the laws and to leave it behind



[Chorus:]

Sing sweet songs of love to me now

So the night will become one of love

Sing sweet songs of love to me now

For I need to know you're mine



All of our days we long for a chance

To be lost in a trance of a love we share

A romantic love like no other before



All of our days we live on the run

But we try to believe that it's just begun

That we'll have the time to enjoy every day



[Chorus]



I love you, you know that I do

And forever I'll sing just for you

Let me know you love me tonight

Let me hold you in my arms



[Chorus]


JOHN PRINE lyrics - Beautiful World



Some of us spend hours

In front of a Friday night mirror

Trying to understand the kinda world

Where the beautiful prosper

Slicking up the kinda hair

That the magazine's say's a lost cause

Picking out the kinda girl in your mind

To go walking with you



Yesterday I met a girl

She made Marilyn Monroe look like... me

All she had to do was walk in the room

And my problems were starting

Then she'd at me and she'd smile

And I feel feel such a pain in my heart

Wanting her to come and whisper to me

"You're the man of my dreams"



[Chorus:]

Beautiful world, beautiful world

Sending me dreams, touching my hair

Making me cry... So I feel alive

Beautiful world, why do I hide?



I dunno why

I should spend so much time feeling so bad

I got everything a sinner could hope to get

This side of Eden

Maybe some day I'll wake up

And I'll do what I should

Write a song to make Heaven and Earth

Go waltzing in time



[Chorus]


GLENN HUGHES lyrics - Maybe Your Baby



Do you know how I feel?

Can you feel it?

I'm talkin' to you...

I'm feelin' down, some kind of lovin'

Cause my baby done left me here



Heart is blazin' like a five alarm fire

And I don't even give a care

I feel like the world has turned on me

My dreams turned to ashes right in front of my face

I'm gettin' kind fo worried

And I feel so all upset, M-hmmmm...



Maybe your baby done made some other plans

Maybe your baby done made some other plans

I feel like cryin'



In the mornin' when I got a heartache

I can't call up the doctor for help

Cause the only person that could ever do me any good

Is sleepin' out with my best friend

I feel like I'm slippin' deeper

Slippin' deeper into my shell

And I just can't take it

This stuff is scarin' me to death



Maybe your baby done made some other plans

Maybe your baby done made some other plans

I feel like cryin'



My baby's OUT OF WORK

Sittin' in THE circle

Checkin' out the guys that are passin' by...

by...by...by...by...by...by



Maybe your baby done made some other plans

Maybe your baby done made some other plans...

No other man can love you like I can



Maybe your baby done made some other plans

Maybe your baby done made some other plans



Can you feel it?

I got plans for you baby

Oh Yeah, Oh Yeah, Yeah

I just can't take it any more



You know I don't want any trouble

Now I ask myself

Do you want me baby?

Do you want me baby?

LINDA RONSTADT lyrics - Hummin' To Myself



(Sammy Fain, Herbert Magidson, Monty Siegel)



I'm a singer of love songs

Songs that are happy and gay

But how can I sing my love songs

My lover's gone away



I got the words

I got the tune

I've been rehearsing under the moon

But I got nobody to hear my song

So I'm hummin' to myself



I've got the place

I've got the time

I've got a lot of love words that rhyme

But I got nobody to hear my song

So I'm hummin' to myself



mmm mmm

I guess it just had to be

mmm mmm

Won't someone listen to me



I got the words and I got the tune

I'd like to croon it under the moon

But I got nobody to hear my song

So I'm hummin' to myself





Well I got the words and I got the tune

And I'd like to croon it under the moon

But I got nobody to hear my song

So I'm hummin' to myself

Mm, hummin' to myself

Well I'm hummin' to myself

I'm hummin' to myself


IRVING BERLIN lyrics - Mandy



[Verse:]

I was strolling out one evening by the silv'ry moon

I could hear somebody singing a familiar tune

So I stopped a while to listen

Not a word I wanted to miss

It was just somebody serenading something like this



[Refrain:]

Mandy

There's a minister handy

And it sure would be dandy

If we'd let him make a fee

So don't you linger

Here's the ring for your finger

Isn't it a humdinger?

Come along and let the wedding chimes

Bring happy times

For Mandy and me



[Unpublished 2nd Verse:]

There will be some jubilation for the happy pair

Yes, the best in all creation, joy is in the air

There'll be music at the station

For to speed them on their way

There will be some celebration on their wedding day



[Unpublished Counterpoint Refrain (More Or Less):]

Oh, what a wonderful day

Cupid, the parson, he'll say



I'm feeling kind of nervous to hear the wedding service

Now we'll hear the wedding bells, soon we'll hear the baby yells



Wait just a minute, my dear

I have the ring, never fear



What a fine ovation from all of our relations

Sister and brother, father and mother

And Mandy and me


BOB DYLAN lyrics - Shake Shake Mama



I get the blues for you baby when I look up at the sun

I get the blues for you baby when I look up at the sun

Come back here, we can have some real fun



Well it's early in the evening and everything is still

Well it's early in the evening and everything is still

One more time, I'm walking up around the hill



Shake shake Mama like a ship going out to sea

Shake shake Mama like a ship going out to sea

You took all my money and you gave it to Richard Lee



Down by the river judge Simpson's walking around

Down by the river judge Simpson's walking around

Nothing shocks me more than that old clown



Some of you women, you really know your stuff

Some of you women, you really know your stuff

But your clothes are all torn and your language is a little too rough



Shake shake Mama, shake until the break of day

Shake shake Mama, shake until the break of day

I'm right here baby, I'm not that far away



I'm motherless, fatherless, almost friendless too

I'm motherless, fatherless, almost friendless too

It's Friday morning going to Franklin Avenue



Shake shake mama, raise your voice and bay

Shake shake mama, raise your voice and bay

If you're goin' on home, better go the shortest way


SANDRA lyrics - Hiroshima



(Morgan-Morgan)



there's a shadow of a man at hiroshima

where he passed the moon

in a wonderland at hiroshima

beneath the august moon

and the world remembers his face

remembers the place was here



fly the metal-bird to hiroshima

and the way a load

speak a magic word to hiroshima

let the sky explode

and the world remembers his name

remembers the flame was hiroshima



and the world remembers his name

remembers the flame was

hiroshima, hiroshima, hiroshima...


CHRIS DE BURGH lyrics - The Getaway



The moon is on the bright side,

But we've thought of everything,

Send the word to the prisoners,

Tonight, we getaway,



When you hear signs of confusion,

Come drifting through the door,

Get your belongings together,

Don't leave nothing behind, And hey boys tonight we getaway,

To the other side,

Head for the wall and getaway; We're sick and tired of hearing,

That the world is gonna blow,

So there's something we'll do to the leaders,

Before we go;



Let's stick 'em in a room together - Yeah!!

And make them fight it out,

Until they see nothing from nothing,

Will leave nothing at all, And hey boys tonight we getaway,

To the other side,

Head for the wall and getaway;

Open the door - open the door - let me out - I wanna go Das ist auch unsere welt,

This is our world too,

Oui c'est notre monde aussi,



Hey boys tonight we getaway,

To the other side,

Head for the wall and getaway;



"We'll give you anything you say,"



Hey boys tonight we getaway,

To the other side,

Head for the wall and getaway;



"We'll miss you more than we can say"

STEVIE WONDER lyrics - You And I (We Can Conquer The World)



Here we are on earth together,

It's you and I,

God has made us fall in love, it's true,

I've really found someone like you



Will it say the love you feel for me, will it say,

That you will be by my side

To see me through,

Until my life is through



Well, in my mind, we can conquer the world,

In love you and I, you and I, you and I



I am glad at least in my life I found someone

That may not be here forever to see me through,

But I found strength in you,

I only pray that I have shown you a brighter day,

Because that's all that I am living for, you see,

Don't worry what happens to me



Cause' in my mind, you will stay here always,

In love, you and I, you and I, you and I, you and I

In my mind we can conquer the world

In love, you and I, you and I, you and I

HELLOWEEN lyrics - Pink Bubbles Go Ape



(M. Kiske)



Some people are much too smart

They know everything before it starts



Eating wisdom with the pail

No wonder when it sticks



In your darkest hour I will sing this song for you



Cry and tell

And slander

Yell and grumble well

So loud for heaven's sake



Pink bubbles go ape!


NIRVANA lyrics - All Apologies



What else should I be

All apologies

What else could I say

Everyone is gay

What else could I write

I don't have the right

What else should I be

All apologies



In the sun

In the sun I feel as one

In the sun

In the sun

I'm married

Buried



I wish I was like you

Easily amused

Find my nest of salt

Everything is my fault

I'll take all the blame

Aqua seafoam shame

Sunburn with freezeburn

Choking on the ashes of her enemy



In the sun

In the sun I feel as one

In the sun

In the sun

Married, Maried, Maried!

Buried!

Yeah yeah yeah yeah



All in all is all we are [x20]

DONNA SUMMER lyrics - Highway Runner



Highway lead him to where he's never been

Show that drifter what he's never seen

Introduce him to this

Acquaint him with that

Gotta keep searching like a stray stray cat



Highway runner chasing time since the day he was born

Highway runner racing time around the world one more time

For one more time



It ain't even me can hold him down

Country just a breath from town to town

He got restless feet and a restless mind

Never wanna travel through the same place twice



Highway runner chasing time since the day he was born

Highway runner racing time around the world one more time

For one more time



One more time

One more time

One more time

You're gonna meet your match...


FRANK ZAPPA lyrics - On The Bus



Act I



SCENE SIX

ToAD-O LINE



Whereupon the house combo at the Brasserie drifts into

a modified version of one of Toad-O's big hit numbers.

BUDDY JONES stares longingly at the little nozzles

pooching out of MARY'S moistened upper clothing,

but it's too late...WARREN, one of the other guys from

Joe's Garage Band has already recognized her

(he's now one of the foremost disco-fusion rhythm guitar

players on theWetT-Shirt Circuit, currently providing

exciting strummery here in Miami), and is in the process

of getting the details of her life on the bus with LARRY

and the other jolly road crew lads. He eventually sends

JOE a letter with this infor-mation in it...



CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER:

This is the CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER... Meanwhile,

Joe hears about Mary's naughty exploits. He falls in with

a fast crowd and gets seduced by a girl who works at

the Jack-In-The-Box, named Lucille, who gives him

an unpronounceable disease...


STEVE EARLE lyrics - My Uncle



(Chris Hillman, Gram Parsons)



A letter came today from my draft board

With trembling hands I read the questionnaire

It asked a lot of questions 'bout my mamma and poppa

That ain't exactly what I call fair



[Chorus:]

So I'm headed for the nearest foreign border

Vancouver might be just my kind of town

'Cause they ain't got the kind of law and order

That tends to keep a good man underground



A sad old soldier once told me a story

About a battlefield that he was on

He said a man should never fight for glory

I guess he knows what's right and what is wrong



[Chorus]



Now I don't know how much I owe my uncle

I expect that it's more than I can pay

He's asking me to sign a three year contract

I guess I'll catch the next bus out today



[Chorus 2x]

DAVID BOWIE lyrics - She Shook Me Cold



We met upon a hill, the night was cool and still

She sucked my dormant will

Mother, she blew my brain, I will go back again

My God, she shook me cold



I had no time to spare, I grabbed her golden hair

And threw her to the ground

Father, she craved my head, Oh Lord, the things she said

My God, she should be told



I was very smart, broke the gentle hearts

Of many young virgins



I was quick on the ball, left them so lonely

They'd just give up trying



Then she took my head, smashed it up

Kept my young blood rising

Crushed me mercilessly, kept me going around



So she didn't know I crave her so-o-o



I'll give my love in vain, to reach that peak again

We met upon a hill

Mother, she blew my brain, I will go back again

My God, she shook me cold


BOB DYLAN lyrics - Had A Dream About You, Baby



I got to see you baby, I don't care

It may be some place, baby, you say you where

I had a dream about you, baby

A dream about you, baby

Late last night you come a-rollin' across my mind.



You got the crazy rhythm when you walk

You make me nervous when you start to talk

I had a dream about you, baby

A dream about you, baby

Late last night you come a-rollin' across my mind.



Standin' on the highway, you flag me down

Said, take me, daddy, to the nearest town

I had a dream about you, baby

Had a dream about you, baby

Late last night you come a-rollin' across my mind.



The join is jumpin' it's really somethin'

The beat is pumpin, my heart is thumpin'

Spent my money on you honey

My limbs are shakin, my heart is breakin'



You kiss me, baby, in the coffee stop

You made me so bad, you gotta stop

I had a dream about you, baby

Had a dream about you, baby

Late last night you come a-rollin' across my mind.



The join is jumpin' it's really somethin'

The beat is pumpin, my heart is thumpin'

Spent my money on you honey

My limbs are shakin, my heart is breakin'



You had a white rag wrapped around your head

Wearing a long dress fire engine red

I had a dream about you, baby

Had a dream about you, baby

Late last night you come a-rollin' across my mind.


BARCLAY JAMES HARVEST lyrics - Little Lapwing



Bye, bye, bye

The time has come round again, my friend

A life and some time I just gotta spend

So bye bye, my friend

See you again

My mind in my pocket

The sun in my eye

There's gold in the mountains

The streams run by

So see you again



Swing low, swing high

Talk of the times, the love and the laughing

I'll come back to you in the spring, little lapwing

'Till then, bye bye


RUSH lyrics - Prime Mover



Basic elemental instinct to survive

Stirs the higher passions

Thrill to be alive

Alternating currents in a tidewater surge

Rational resistance to an unwise urge

Anything can happen...

From the point of conception

To the moment of truth

At the point of surrender

To the burden of proof

From the point of ignition

To the final drive

The point of the journey is not to arrive

Anything can happen...

Basic temperamental filters on our eyes

Alter our perceptions

Lenses polarize

Alternating currents force a show of hands

Rational responses force a change of plans

Anything can happen...

From a point on the compass

To magnetic north

The point of the needle moving back and forth

From the point of entry

Until the candle is burned

The point of departure is not to return

Anything can happen...

I set the wheels in motion

Turn up all the machines

Activate the programs

And run behind the scene

I set the clouds in motion

Turn up light and sound

Activate the window

And watch the world go 'round

From the point of conception

To the moment of truth

At the point of surrender

To the burden of proof

From the point of ignition

To the final drive

The point of a journey

Is not to arrive

Anything can happen...
