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'

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

Words in the way
I want to 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

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...
