ELVIS COSTELLO lyrics - Damnation's Cellar

Did anybody notice, over marmalade and eggs

In between the Princess' legs

What with wars and floods and beggars

Not to mention stocks and shares

If you have a moment to spare

Can you write and reassure me that I have seen

They're constructing a time machine

There will be no need for the obituary pages

We can have any hero from the bygone ages

'Til the truth emerges, the argument rages



[Chorus:]

The major and the minor

Turn from tallow into tar

Should we leave them in their place?

Down in damnation's cellar



When any form of deity that you might enjoy

Can be conjured with a test-tube and a flame

If it's out there then science can explain it

Or at least remove the blame

And if theres is anyone you'd like to see again

The speak up quickly



Send us back Da Vinci then we don't have to ponder

The maddening smile of "La Giaconda"

The critics say Nijinsky, the dancer, of course

While the punters would probably prefer the horse

You'll find it's quicker than history, cheaper than divorce



[Chorus]



Bring back Liberace or Ollie and Stan

Shakespeare will have to wait his turn

Elvis Presley and Puccini shall return

I suppose we live and learn, though it's hard to believe as we

cheerfully burn

It's curious

Some will call for justice.

There are murders to solve

What about Hitler? Or at least Lee Harvey Oswald

Give us this day and everything we squander

Anyone beautiful

Somebody blonder

They'll never please mankind, so lie back and enjoy it

Stop press: They've just decided to destroy it



[Chorus]

I wanna see my baby now

I got to see my baby

I wanna see my baby now



Pronto

Ma guarda il mondo stronzo

E guarda il suo tramonto

Che fine fa?...

REBA MCENTIRE lyrics - You Are Always There For Me

(Norro Wilson/Wayland Holyfield)



I know sometimes I'm like a child

I disappoint you so

And how you keep forgiving me

I'll never never know

When I stumble and I fall

And need love desperately

You are always there for me



Like an oak in the wind

Like an old familiar friend

Like a harbor in a wild and raging sea

Darlin' you are always there for me



When I take your love for granted

Like I often do

It's not that I don't need you so

It's not I don't love you

It's just that I'm a fool sometimes

Just too blind to see

That you are always there for me



Like an oak in the wind

Like an old familiar friend

Like a harbor in a wild and raging sea

Darlin' you are always there for me



Like an oak in the wind

Like an old familiar friend

Like a harbor in a wild and raging sea

Darlin' you are always there for me

JOHN (COUGAR) MELLENCAMP lyrics - Crumblin' Down

Some people ain't no damn good

You can't trust 'em

You can't love em

No good deed goes unpunished

And I don't mind being their whipping boy

I've had that pleasure

For years and years

No, no I never was a sinner

Tell me what else can I do

Second best is what you get

'Til you learn to bend the rules

Time respects no person

And when you lift up must fall

They're waiting outside

To claim my crumblin' walls



Saw my picture in the paper

Read the news around my face

And now some people

Don't want to treat me the same



When the walls

Come tumblin' down

When the walls

Come crumblin', crumblin'

When the walls

Come tumblin', tumblin'

Down

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah



Some people say I'm obnoxious and lazy

That I'm uneducated

And my opinipn means nothin'

But I know I'm a real good dancer

Don't need to look over my shoulder

To see what I'm after

Everybody's got their problems

Ain't no new news here

I'm the same old trouble

You've been having for years

Don't confuse the problem

With the issue, girl

It's perfectly clear

Just a human desire

To have you come near

Want to put my arms around you

Feel your breath in my ear

You can bend me

You can break me

But you better stand clear



When the walls

Come tumblin' down

When the walls

Come crumblin', crumblin'

When the walls

Come tumblin', tumblin'

Crumblin', tumblin'

Down



When the walls

Come (tumblin' down)

When the walls

Come (rumblin', rumblin')

When the walls

(When the walls)

Come tumblin', tumblin'

Down



Want to put my arms around you

Feel your breath in my ear

You can bend me

You can break me

But you better stand clear



When the walls

Come tumblin' down

When the walls

Come crumblin', crumblin'

When the walls

Come tumblin', tumblin'

Crumblin', tumblin'



When the walls

(When the walls)

Come tumblin' down

When the walls

(When the walls)

Come crumblin', crumblin'

When the walls

Come tumblin', tumblin'

Crumblin', tumblin'



When the walls

(When the walls)

Come tumblin' down

When the walls

Come crumblin', crumblin'

When the walls

Come tumblin', tumblin'

Crumblin', tumblin'

Down

FRANK SINATRA lyrics - Talk To Me Baby

(J. Mercer, R. Dolan)



[Recorded December 3, 1963, Los Angeles]



If you cannot toss your heart gaily in the ring,

Love me while the moment lingers,

If you cannot cross your heart that I'm everything,

Try at least to cross your fingers.

Talk to me, baby, tell me lies,

Tell me lies as sweet as apple pie.

Whisper you tremble with a wild desire

To light the fire in my eyes.

Tell me I'm marvelous, exaggerate!

Prevaricate if you must.

Just talk to me, baby, soft and low,

Then if you decide it's really so,

Swear you be mine forever, otherwise just talk to me,

And tell me lies, lies, lies, lies,

Great, big, great big lies.

AC/DC lyrics - Rock 'N' Roll Damnation

(A. Young / M. Young / B. Scott)



They say that you play too loud

Well baby that's tough

They say that you got too much

Can't get enough

They tell you that you look a fool

Baby I'm a fool for you

They say that your mind's diseased, shaky stuff

It's a rock 'n' roll damnation

Ma's own whippin' boy

Rock 'n' roll damnation

Take a chance while you still got the choice



You say that you want respect

Honey for what

For everything that you done for me

Thanks a lot

Get up off your bended knees

You can set your mind at ease

My temperature's runnin' hot

I been waitin' all night

For a bite of what you got



It's a rock 'n' roll damnation

Ma's own whippin' boy

Rock 'n' roll damnation

Take a chance while you still got the choice



It's a hard life



Damnation, they're putting you down

Damnation, all over town

Damnation, Cause you're way outta reach

Living on the street you gotta practice what you preach

An it's a rock 'n' roll damnation

Ma's own whippin' boy

Rock 'n' roll damnation

Take a chance while you still got the choice



Damnation, you left a happy home

Damnation, To live on your own

Damnation, You wanna live in sin

It's a rock 'n' roll

Damnation, Just a bundle of joy

Damnation, you're a toy for a boy

Damnation, you got the dollars in your eye

Always chasin' that pie in the sky

Rock 'n' roll damnation

GARY MOORE lyrics - You

Sometimes when I look around

At people who are lonely

I feel a sense of sadness deep inside

It makes me wonder how I got along

Before I found you

And what I'd do if you should turn around

And say goodbye



'Cause baby you

You're what I'm living for

I couldn't have asked for more

Right from the moment that I found you

I knew that you

You were the one for me

The one who could make me see

This world could be a brighter place



Sometimes when I think about

The friends I left behind me

I feel a sense of sadness deep inside

It makes me wonder how I knew

That one day you would find me

And what I'd do if you should turn around

And say goodbye



'Cause baby you

You're what I'm living for

I couldn't have asked for more

Right from the moment that I found you

I knew that you

You were my brightest star

And whether you're close or far

You're always here inside my heart



'Cause baby you

You're what I'm living for

I couldn't have asked for more

Right from the moment that I found you

I knew that you

You were my brightest star

(You were my brightest star)

And whether you're close or far

You're always here inside my heart



Yes, baby you

You're what I'm living for

I couldn't have asked for more

Right from the moment that I found you

I knew that you

You were the one for me

(You were the one for me)

The one who could make me see

This world could be a brighter

This world could be a brighter

With you this world's a brighter place

THE SCORPIONS lyrics - No Pain No Gain

(Rudolf Schenker, Klaus Meine, Mark Hudson)



Face in the gutter eyes on the floor

Knocked down twice can't take it no more

You got no vision in your head

You got no vision better dead

Get on your feet open the door



Walk on down you know the score

It's a dead-end street back to the wall

You get it together you can get it all



The weak will fall the strong remain



No pain no gain (yeah)

No pain no gain (yeah)



No time for losers you make the call

Believe in yourself stand tall

Another day it's in your hand

You can be the winner in the end



The weak will fall the strong remain



No pain no gain (yeah)

No pain no gain

No pain no gain (yeah)

No pain no gain (yeah, yeah)



Keep runnin' don't look back

Keep movin' paint it black

Keep goin' don't ever stop

There's time to rest the day you'll drop



You roll the dice you play the game

The weak will fall the strong remain



No pain no gain

No pain no gain



...

JIMMY BUFFETT lyrics - Blue Guitar

I once knew a man

Showed me the slight of hand

In the blink of an eye, he danced across the strings



Played a song I'd never heard

Poignant and absurd

To this day it leaves me wondering



How I wish tomorrow I were fishin'

Boy I've got a mission

Shake it, rattle and roll



Ah, now, just use your intuition

You'll get less competition

From the clock up on the wall



You are what you are

You dream what you dream

Play on your Blue Guitar for me



Play me a serenade

A simple masquerade

Play on your Blue Guitar for me



'Cause we'll all make believe

Someone to deceive

Time is just a folly we can't see



You only know one song

Play it right or wrong

The truth is always somewhere in between



You and I, we can't change the weather

And we're all in this together

So let the strong winds blow



Ah, now things will be much better

If you don't become a prisoner

To the reason you should know



You are what you are

You dream what you dream

Play on your Blue Guitar for me

Play me a serenade

A simple masquerade

Play on your Blue Guitar for me



How I wish tomorrow I were fishin'

Boy I've got a mission

Shake it, rattle and roll



Ah, now, just use you intuition

You'll get less competition

From the clock up on the wall



You are what you are

You dream what you dream

Play on your Blue Guitar for me



Play me a serenade

A simple masquerade

Play on your Blue Guitar for me



You are what you are

You dream what you dream

Play on your Blue Guitar for me

Play me a serenade

Red wine or lemonade

Play on your Blue Guitar for me



You are what you are

You dream what you dream

Play on your Blue Guitar for me

Play me a serenade

A simple masquerade

Play on your Blue Guitar for me



You are what you are

You dream what you dream

Play on your Blue Guitar for me

WOODY GUTHRIE lyrics - Put My Little Shoes Away

Now, come and bathe my forehead, Mother

For I'm growing very weak

Let one drop of water, Mother,

Fall upon my burning cheek



Go and tell my little playmates

That I never more will play

Give them all my toys, but Mother,

Put my little shoes away



You will do this won't you Mother?

Please remember what I say

Give them all my toys, but Mother,

Put my little shoes away



Santa Claus he brought them to me

With a lot of other things

And I thought he brought an angel

With a pair of golden wings



Soon the baby will be larger

And they'll fit his little feet

Won't he look so nice and funny

As he walks upon the street



You will do this won't you Mother?

Please remember what I say

Give them all my toys, but Mother,

Put my little shoes away

ROBERT PLANT lyrics - Dancing In Heaven

There'll be dancing in heaven

On the night before the longest day

A celebration in rhythm

At this time it was always this way



Sing out for the one light,

Reach out to the flame

So fine so fine

That we can make it this way



Sing the song of the ages

Giving voice on this beautiful night

Feed the flame in high places

From the earth to the giver of light



Sing out for the one light

Reach out to the flame

So fine so fine

That we can make it this way



Bringing peace to the valley

Carry fire through the oaks and the grove

Precious memory carry

As we move through the circles and stones



Sing out to the one light

Reach out to the flame

So fine, So fine

That we can make it this way

CHAKA KHAN lyrics - So Close

(Pam Tillis, Marcy Levy and Richard Feldman)



You've been keeping me in limbo

Playing hide and seek

You've been teasing me 'cause you know

That it makes me weak



You've done everything to fall in love

I know what you're running from

Kisses like these are few and far between



Now we're so close yet so far away

I'm breaking down the distance

With every move, with every touch

You're wearing down my resistance



You know your lonely days are numbered

There's nothing you can do



There'll be no more keeping us apart

I'm ready for the love to start

I can almost feel it breaking through



Now we're so close yet so far away

I'm breaking down the distance

With every move and every touch

I'm wearing down your resistance



I wanna get closer, closer to you

I can almost feel it breaking through



So close yet so far away

I'm breaking down the distance

With every move and every touch

I'm wearing down your resistance



So close yet so far away

I'm breaking down the distance

With every touch and every move

You're wearing down my resistance

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN lyrics - The River

I come from down in the valley

Where mister, when you're young

They bring you up to do like your daddy done

Me and Mary we met in high school

When she was just seventeen

We'd drive out of this valley down to where the fields where green



We'd go down to the river

And into the river we'd dive

Oh down to the river we'd ride



Then I got Mary pregnant

And, man, that was all she wrote

And for my 19th birthday I got a union card and a wedding coat

We went down to the courthouse

And the judge put it all to rest

No wedding day smiles, no walk down the aisle

No flowers, no wedding dress



That night we went down to the river

And into the river we'd dive

Oh down to the river we did ride



I got a job working construction for the Johnstown Company

But lately there ain't been much work on account of the economy

Now all them thing that seemed so important

Well, mister they vanished right into the air

Now I just act like I don't remember

Mary acts like she don't care



But I remember us riding in my brother's car

Her body tan and wet down at the reservoir

At night on them banks I'd lie awake

And pull her close just to feel each breath she'd take

Now those memories come back to haunt me

They haunt me like a curse

Is a dream a lie if it don't come true

Or is it something worse,

that sends me

Down to the river

though I know the river is dry

That sends me down to the river tonight

Down to the river

My baby and I

Oh down to the river we ride

MIKE AND THE MECHANICS lyrics - Over My Shoulder

Looking back over my shoulder

I can see that look in your eye

I never dreamed it could be over

I never wanted to say goodbye



Looking back over my shoulder

With an aching deep in my heart

I wish that we were starting over

Oh instead of drifting so far apart



Everybody told me you were leaving

Funny I should be the last to know

Baby please tell me that I'm dreaming

I just never want to let you go



Looking back over my shoulder

I can see that look in your eye

Turning my heart over and over

I never wanted to say goodbye



I don't mind everybody laughing

But it's enough to make a grown man cry

Cos I can feel you slipping through my fingers

I don't even know the reason why



Every day it's a losing battle

Just to smile and hold my head up high

Could it be that we belong together

Baby won't you give me one more try

One more try



Looking back over my shoulder

I can see that look in your eye

I never dreamed it could be over

I never wanted to say goodbye



Looking back over my shoulder

Oh with an aching feeling inside

Cutting me up, deeper and deeper

Fills me with a sadness that I can't hide



Looking back over my shoulder

I can see that look in your eye

I never dreamed no no it could be over

I never wanted to say goodbye



Looking back over my shoulder

I can see that look in your eye

LEONARD COHEN lyrics - Take This Waltz

Now in Vienna there's ten pretty women

There's a shoulder where Death comes to cry

There's a lobby with nine hundred windows

There's a tree where the doves go to die

There's a piece that was torn from the morning

And it hangs in the Gallery of Frost

Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay

Take this waltz, take this waltz

Take this waltz with the clamp on its jaws

Oh I want you, I want you, I want you

On a chair with a dead magazine

In the cave at the tip of the lily

In some hallways where love's never been

On a bed where the moon has been sweating

In a cry filled with footsteps and sand

Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay

Take this waltz, take this waltz

Take its broken waist in your hand



This waltz, this waltz, this waltz, this waltz

With its very own breath of brandy and Death

Dragging its tail in the sea



There's a concert hall in Vienna

Where your mouth had a thousand reviews

There's a bar where the boys have stopped talking

They've been sentenced to death by the blues

Ah, but who is it climbs to your picture

With a garland of freshly cut tears?

Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay

Take this waltz, take this waltz

Take this waltz it's been dying for years



There's an attic where children are playing

Where I've got to lie down with you soon

In a dream of Hungarian lanterns

In the mist of some sweet afternoon

And I'll see what you've chained to your sorrow

All your sheep and your lilies of snow

Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay

Take this waltz, take this waltz

With its "I'll never forget you, you know!"



This waltz, this waltz, this waltz, this waltz...



And I'll dance with you in Vienna

I'll be wearing a river's disguise

The hyacinth wild on my shoulder,

My mouth on the dew of your thighs

And I'll bury my soul in a scrapbook,

With the photographs there, and the moss

And I'll yield to the flood of your beauty

My cheap violin and my cross

And you'll carry me down on your dancing

To the pools that you lift on your wrist

Oh my love, Oh my love

Take this waltz, take this waltz

It's yours now. It's all that there is

BOB DYLAN lyrics - Handy Dandy

Handy Dandy controversy surrounds him

He's been around the world and back again

Something in the moonlight still hounds him.



Handy Dandy just like sugar and candy

Handy Dandy if every bone in his body were a-broken he would never admit it

He got an all girl orchestra and when he says strike up the band they hit it.



Handy Dandy

Handy Dandy

He'll say what are you made off

He'll say can you repeat what you say

You'll say what are you afraid off

He'll say nothing neither alive nor dead.



Handy Dandy he's got a stick in his hand and a pocket full of money

He'll say oh darling tell me the truth how much time I got

She'll say you got all the time in the world honey.



Handy Dandy

Handy Dandy

He got that clear crystal fountain

He got that soft silky skin

He got that fortress on the mountain

With no doors or windows so no thieves can break in.



Handy Dandy sitting with a girl named Nancy and I got feeling kinda lazy

He said Hon' if you want a gun I'll give you one

She said boy you're talking crazy.



Handy Dandy just like sugar and candy

Handy Dandy pour him another brandy

Handy Dandy he got a basket of flowers and a bag full of sorrow

He finishes his drink he gets up from the table he says

OK boys I'll see you tomorrow.



Handy Dandy

Handy Dandy just like sugar and candy

Handy Dandy just like sugar and candy.

THE PARTRIDGE FAMILY lyrics - Alone Too Long

(Mark James & Cynthia Weil)



Funny how you can go on livin'

And lose the simple knack of givin'

It slips away before you know it's gone

Ya build up walls and before ya know it

Someone moves you and you want to show it

But you just can't find a way of lettin' on



I've been alone too long

Baby now don't you see

I've been alone too long

That's all that's wrong with me

I want to build you a dream

Paint you a sunrise

Write you a beautiful song

But I don't know how

I've been alone too long



Funny how you can cut off feelin'

And tell yourself that your wounds are healing

When all you've done is turn the pain inside

And when your sure that no one can get to ya

Someone smiles and it goes right through ya

And wakes up somethin' that you thought had died



I've been alone too long

Baby now don't you see

I've been alone too long

That's all that's wrong with me

I want to build you a dream

Paint you a sunrise

Write you a beautiful song

But I don't know how

I've been alone too long



I've been alone too long

I've been alone too long

I've been alone too long

I've been alone too long

AC/DC lyrics - Beating Around The Bush

(A. Young / M. Young / B. Scott)



Smilin' face and laughin' eyes

But you keep on tellin' me all those lies

How'd you expect me to believe

Honey I ain't that naive

Baby I got my eye on you

Cause you do all the things I want you to

Stop your cryin' and dry you tears

I ain't that wet behind the ears

You can throw me lefts

You can throw me rights

But where was you last night

Beating around the bush



Wish I knew what was on your mind

Why you bein' so unkind

Remember those nights we spent alone

Talking on the telephone

Thoughts of you goin' throw my brain

You told me that you felt the same

You said that you loved me too

But tell me who was there with you

I was talkin' birds

And you was talkin' bees

And was he down upon his knees

Beating around the bush



Your the meanest woman I've ever known

Sticks and stones won't break my bones

I know what you're lookin' for

You've eaten your cake you want some more

I'm gonna give you just one more chance

Try to save our romance

I've done everything

I'm gonna do

The rest is up to you

And you can chew it up

You can spit it out

You can let it all hang out

Beating around the bush



Chew it up

Spit it out

Let it all hang out

Beating around the bush

DAN FOGELBERG lyrics - Reason To Run

Pecos mountains in the fading light

Shadows stretching 'til

They're clean out of sight

How could anything that felt so right

At the same time feel so wrong

At the same time feel so wrong

All these questions, baby, all these fears

Kept me running through

The best of my years

I pray this storm inside me someday clears

But these scars run so damn deeply

But these scars run so damn deep in me

There's a reason for everything, they say

That's under the sun

For every reason to stay

I find a reason to run

I find a reason to run

Seems I've always had these friends of mine

The smoke, the bottle, and the fine white line

To keep me company through the crush of time

But these changes come so slowly

And these changes come so slow to me

There's a reason for everything, they say

That's under the sky

For every reason to love

There's a reason to cry

There's a reason for everything, they say

That's under the sun

For every reason to stay

I find a reason to run

I find a reason to run

SAXON lyrics - Altar Of The Gods

Come from the woods

Out of the hills

Come from the cities

Down from the moors

Make your way down the golden path

To stand free for the temple



Power is the name

To stay on top your reign

Money rules the game

The winner takes the gain



Come smash the old

Come cut the land

Come carve the stone

Come forge the steel

From out of desolation rise

The symbols of your power



Your towers of steel stand proud

Cathedrals of a new age

Let all with greed come worship here

At the altar of the Gods



Power is the name

To stay on top your reign

Money rules the game

The winner takes the gain



Wall street crash

Financial sting

Live for the dollar

Profit the share

The shame of generations past

Reflected in the city



Power is the name

To stay on top your reign

Money rules the game

The winner takes the gain

RICHARD THOMPSON lyrics - Cressida

(Richard Thompson)



Love that holds its breath for fear

Of scaring love away

I rush my lines

I care too deeply

O will she keep me

For idle games



I raise my eyes to see her there

Shining in a daydream

I raise my eyes

I see too much

I know her touch

What her touch would mean



I stare into

I stare into

The dying flames

NEIL SEDAKA lyrics - Where The Boys Are

(Howie Greenfield and Neil Sedaka)



Where the boys are, someone waits for me

A smilin' face, a warm embrace, two arms to hold me tenderly

Where the boys are, my true love will be

He's walkin' down some street in town and I know he's lookin' there for me



In the crowd of a million people I'll find my valentine

And then I'll climb to the highest steeple and tell the world he's mine



Till he holds me I wait impatiently

Where the boys are, where the boys are

Where the boys are, someone waits for me



Till he holds me I wait impatiently

Where the boys are, where the boys are

Where the boys are, someone waits for me

NAZARETH lyrics - Love Of Freedom

It seems to me I've heard that song before

Far off in some distant land

Or it may have been upon some foreign shore

Burning in my heart again



I've seen the sounds and I have felt the air

Drumming in my dreams again

Deja vu I don't know now or then

Enemy or maybe friend



Oh but for the love of freedom

Oh but for the love of you

I would never, ever have seen this day

So please forgive me if I weep no more

For friends and lovers far away



There's been too many times to hear the names

Of friends who have stayed away

Maybe now and then you still recall the pain

As though it was yesterday



Oh but for the love of freedom

Oh but for the love of you

I would never, ever have seen this day

So please forgive me if I weep no more

For friends and lovers far away

For friends and lovers far away

NEIL DIAMOND lyrics - Rosemary's Wine

And her eyes hurt the way they do

Almost like they'd seen,

Almost like they knew



And her words, soft as they could be

Tied me to her soul and wouldn't set me free



And the night that held us in its arms

It held us once again,

But even then I knew this time

That I would decline

Sweet Rosemary's Wine



Lately I, seem to be inclined

More to being cold, less to being kind

And I suppose that I've been less than true

Being what I am, what was I to do



So I drink

The sweetness of her soul

And drink it once again

But even then I guess I'd known

That I would decline

Sweet Rosemary's wine

DONNA SUMMER lyrics - Livin' In America

Straight outta school but still just a fool

Thought the streets were paved with gold

He moved off the block and

Found he was lost

In a world he'd never known

He had to hustle so he could pay the rent

Played all the aces and wound up president

You see it's okay

Got to find your own way

Keep on trying all day

And you know your time will come

You'll get your chance to run



You're livin' in America

You're livin' in the home of the dream

You're livin' in America

Just make it what you want it to be



Soap opera child with hope in her eyes

Lookin' for a starrin' role

She came into town and acted the clown

Had a long, long way to go

Waitin' on tables and pumpin' gasoline

She served and agent,

Now she's a movie queen

You see it's okay

Got to find your own way

Keep on tryin' all day

And you know the time will come

For each and everyone



You're livin' in America

You're livin' in the home of the dream

You're livin' in America

Just make it what you want it to be



You'll stand alone on a long hard road

With a crowd that you can't see

Just start by steppin' out

Then let your mind run free



You're livin' in America

You're livin' in the home of the dream

You're livin' in America

Just make it what you want it to be



It's okay

You're livin' in the USA

Find your dream

You know that dream can set

You free



It's okay

We're part of the United State

You and me

Can be just what we wanna be

He's okay

He left the block and reached

The top

She's all right

The agent put her name in lights



He's okay

He's paid his rent he's president

She's all right

She's on your TV screen tonight

ELLA FITZGERALD lyrics - Where Or When

It seems we stood and talked like this, before

We looked at each other in the same way then

But I can't remember where or when



The clothes you're wearing are the clothes, you wore

The smile you are smiling you were smiling then

But I can't remember where or when



Some things that happened for the first time

Seem to be happenin' again

And so it seems that we have met before

And laughed before, and loved before

But who knows where or when



Some things that happened for the first time

Seem to be happenin' again

And so it seems that we have met before

And laughed before, and loved before

But who knows where or when



[The following intro is not sung by Ella on this recording.]

When you're awake, the things you think

Come from the dream you dream

Thought has wings, and lots of things

Are seldom what they seem

Sometimes you think you've lived before

All that you live to day

Things you do come back to you

As though they knew the way

Oh the tricks your mind can play

ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA lyrics - Do Ya

In this life I've seen everything I can see woman,

I've seen lovers flying through the air hand in hand

I've seen babies dancing in the midnight sun,

And I've seen dreams that came from the heavenly skies above

I've seen old men crying at their own grave sides

And I've seen pigs all sitting watching, picture slides

But I never seen nothing like you.



CHORUS

Do ya do ya want my love

Do ya do ya want my face

Do ya do ya want my mind

Do ya do ya want my love



Well I, heard the crowd singin' out of tune,

As they, sat and sang Auld Lang Syne by the light of the moon

I heard the preachers bangin' on the drums,

And I heard the police playin' with their guns

But I never heard nothin' like you.



In the country where the sky touches down

On the field, she lay her down to rest

In the morning sun,

They come a'runnin' just to get a look, just to

Feel to touch her long black hair they don't give a damn



CHORUS -- repeat



Well I think you know what I'm trying to say woman,

That is I'd like to save you for a rainy day,

I've seen enough of the world to know,

That I've got to get it all to get it all to grow.



CHORUS -- repeat

STAN FREBERG lyrics - St. George And The Dragonet

[Narrator:]

The legend you are about to hear is true

Only the needle should be changed to protect the record



[St. George:]

This is the countryside

My name is St George

I'm a knight



Saturday, July 10th, 8:05 pm

I was working out of the castle on the nightwatch

when a call came in from the Chief

A dragon had been devouring maidens

Homicide

My job, slay him



[St. George:]

You call me, Chief



[Chief:]

Yes, the dragon again, devouring maidens

The King's daughter may be next



St. George:

Mmm-hmm

You got a lead



[Chief:]

Oh, nothing much to go on

Say, did you take that.45 automatic

into the lab to have them check on it



[St. George:]

Yeah, you were right



[Chief:]

I was right



[St. George:]

Yeah, It was a gun



8:22 pm, I talked to one of the maidens

who had almost been devoured



[St. George:]

Could I talk to you, Ma'am



[Maiden:]

Who are you



[St. George:]

I'm St. George, Ma'am

Homicide, Ma'am

Want to ask you a few questions, Ma'am

I understand you were almost devoured by the dragon, Ma'am

Is that right, dragon



[Maiden:]

It was terrible

He breathed fire on me

He burned me already



[St. George:]

How can I be sure of that, Ma'am



[Maiden:]

Believe me

I got it straight from the dragon's mouth



[St. George:]

11:45 pm

I rode over the King's Highway

I saw a man

Stopped to talk to him

Pardon me, Sir

Could I talk to you for just a minute, Sir



[Knave:]

Sure, I don't mind



[St. George:]

What do you do for a living



[Knave:]

I'm a knave



[St. George:]

Didn't I pick you up on a 903 last year for stealing tarts



[Knave:]

Yeah, so what

Do you wanna make a federal case out of it



[St. George:]

No, Sir

We heard there was a dragon operating in this neighborhood

We just want to know if you've seen him



[Knave:]

Sure, I've seen him



[St. George:]

Mmm-hmm

Could you describe him for me



[Knave:]

What's to describe

You see one dragon, you seen 'em all



[St. George:]

Would you try to remember, Sir

Just for the record

We just want to get the facts, Sir



[Knave:]

Well, he was, you know, he had orange polka dots. . .



[St. George:]

Yes, Sir



[Knave:]

Purple feet, breathing fire and smoke. . .



St. George:

Mmm-hmm



[Knave:]

And one big bloodshot eye

right in the middle of his forehead and

Uh, like that



[St. George:]

Notice anything unusual about him



[Knave:]

No, he's just your run-of-the-mill dragon, you know



[St. George:]

Mmm-hmm

Yes, Sir

You can go now



[Knave:]

Hey, by the way, how you gonna catch him



[St. George:]

I thought you'd never ask

A Dragonet



3:05 pm

I was riding back into the courtyard

to make my report to the lab

Then it happened

It was the dragon



[Dragon:]

Hey, I'm the fire-breathin' Dragon

You must be St George, right



[St. George:]

Yes, Sir



[Dragon:]

I can see you got one of them new.45 caliber swords



[St. George:]

That's about the size of it



[Dragon:]

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

You slay me



[St. George:]

That's what I wanted to talk to you about



[Dragon:]

What do you mean



[St. George:]

I'm taking you in on a 502

You figure it out



[Dragon:]

What's the charge



[St. George:]

Devouring maidens out of season



[Dragon:]

Out of season

You'll never pin that rap on me

Do you hear me, cop



[St. George:]

Yeah, I hear you

I got you on a 412 too



[Dragon:]

A 412

What's a 412



[St. George:]

Over-acting. Let's go



[Narrator:]

On September the 5th, the Dragon was tried and convicted

His fire was put out and his maiden-devouring license revoked

Maiden devouring out of season is punishable

by a term of not less than 50 or more than 300 years

DIANA ROSS lyrics - Them There Eyes

(M. Pinkard/W. Tracy/D. Tauber)



I fell in love with you

The first time I looked into

Them there eyes

'Cause you have a certain

Little cute way of flirting with

Them there eyes



They make me feel so happy

They make me feel so blue

I'm falling, no stalling

In a great big way for you



My heart is jumping

You started something with

Them there eyes

You better look out

Little brown eyes

If you're wise



They sparkle, they bubble

Gonna get you in a whole lotta trouble

Ooh baby, them there eyes

ELVIS PRESLEY lyrics - I Got Stung

(Hill and Schroeder)



Holy smoke

A land sakes alive!

I never thought this could happen to me



Mm, yeah! Mm, yeah!



I got stung by a sweet honey bee

Oh, what a feeling come over me

It started in my eyes

Crept up to my head

Flew to my heart

Till I was stung dead

Mm, yeah! Mm, yeah!



She had all that I wanted and more

And I've seen honey bees before

Started buzzin' in my ear

Buzzin' in my brain

Got stung all over

But I feel no pain

I'm done, uh-uh

I got stung!



Now, don't think I'm complainin'

I'm might pleased we met

'Cause yo

u gimme just one little peck

On the back of my neck

And I break out in a cold cold sweat

If I live to a hundred and two

I won't let nobody sting me but you

I'll be buzzin' 'round your hive

Ev'ry day at five

And I'm never gonna leave once I arrive

'Cause I'm done

Uh-uh, I got stung!

Here she comes

With her red dress on

Steam shoots out

From the sprinklers on the lawn

The eyes be rollin'

On the concrete fawn

The wind can't blow

'Cause the sky is gone

The wind can't blow

'Cause the sky is gone

The wind can't blow

'Cause the sky is gone



Jones crusher,

Jones crusher

Deadly jaws, better get the gauze

She's a Jones crusher,

Jones crusher

Deadly jaws, better get the gauze

BONNIE TYLER lyrics - He's The King

(Harold Faltermeyer & Gernot Rothenbach)



He's seen all the changes

'Been going up and down

Had to rearrange it

But never lost his crown

Never was afraid of

Playing his last round

He is, he is the king



Look into his face

It never told you lies

Falling down from grace

Has been more than twice

But there's always one thing

You should realize

He is, he is the king



He is the king

No one else will be around

He is the king

Sometimes lost but now he's found

Without losing all, you won't touch sacred ground

He is, he is the king

He is the king



Loving her was easy

They were day and night

Trying to release her

Was a never ending fight

He had only one chance

Playing for her life

He is, he is the king



But there's always one thing

You should realize

He is, he is the king



He is the king

No one else will be around

He is the king

Sometimes lost but now he's found

Without losing all, you won't touch sacred ground

He is, he is the king



He is the king

No one else will be around

He is the king

Sometimes lost but now he's found

Without losing all, you won't touch sacred ground, yeah

He is, he is the king

He is the king

VAN MORRISON lyrics - All Saints Day

Here comes Sue and she looks crazy

Skipping down the hillside gaily

looking like the flowers that bloom in May

Won't you make your reservation?

I will meet you at the station

Won't you come and see me, All Saints Day?



Follow my lead, it is no wonder, I seem to be so high

Living my dreams the way I ought to

As the days go rolling by

See me strolling through the meadow

With you baby by my side

Won't you come and see me, All Saints Day?



See the streamline blue horizon

With you baby by the way

Won't you come and see me, All Saints Day?

You can make your reservation

I will meet you at the station

When you come to see me, All Saints Day



When you come to see me, All Saints Day

When you come to see me, All Saints Day.

B. B. KING lyrics - Telephone Song

(B. B. King)



Woke up this morning I was all alone

Saw your picture by the telephone

I was missing you oh so bad

Wish I had you here to hold

All I've got is this touch-tone phone

So I guess I'll give you a call



Operator help me please

Get thru to my baby way overseas

Time's wastin' oh so fast

Hello baby tell me is that you

I don't know what we're gonna do

But for now I'm glad I got you on the line



Well it feels so fine

Knowing you're all right

But you're miles away

Lord it's not the same



Well I woke up this morning I was all alone

Saw your picture by the telephone

I've been missing you baby oh so bad

I love you baby with all my might

Come on home and squeeze me tight

Long distance lovin's

Gonna drive me out of my mind

PAUL ANKA lyrics - I Love You Baby

As I walk by the seaside

As I walk through the grass

I see little bluebirds

Making love while I pass

Bees are hummin' and they're singin' everywhere

Everyone's in love



Oh oh

I love you baby, I love you so

I need you honey, I'll never let you go

'Cause you're the girl in my heart

You're the one I adore

And I-I I love you



As I walk by the schoolyard

As I walk by the gate

I see the weeping willow

Where we kissed on every date

And carved in the bark

You'll find an arrow and a heart

And underneath it says



Oh oh

I love you baby, I love you so

I need you honey, I'll never let you go

'Cause you're the girl in my heart

You're the one I adore

And I-I I love you



[Instrumental Interlude]



As I walk to the corner

And I pass the candy store

I hear the very music

That I once heard before

Oh how you held me as the music softly played

I was so in love



Oh oh

I love you baby, I love you so

I need you honey, I'll never let you go

'Cause you're the girl in my heart

You're the one I adore

And I-I I love you

I-I I love you

I-I I love you



[Fade]

PHISH lyrics - Manteca

(Dizzy Gillespie and Gil Fuller)



Crab in my shoemouth

Crab in my shoemouth

Crab in my shoemouth

Crab in my, Crab in my, Crab in my shoemouth



Crab in my shoemouth

Crab in my shoemouth

Crab in my shoemouth

Crab in my, Crab in my, Crab in my shoemouth

BOB DYLAN lyrics - Tiny Montgomery

Well, you can tell everybody

Down in ol' Frisco

Tell 'em

Tiny Montgomery says hello.



Now, every boy and girl's

Gonna get their bang

'Cause Tiny Montgomery's

Gonna shake that thing

Tell everybody

Down in ol' Frisco

That Tiny Montgomery's comin'

Down to say hello.



Skinny Moo and Halftrack Frank

They're gonna both be gettin

Outta the tank

One bird book

And a buzzard and a crow,

Tell 'em all

That Tiny's gonna say hello.



Scratch your dad

Do that bird

Suck that pig

And bring it on home

Pick that drip

And nose that dope

Tell 'em all

That Tiny says hello.



Now, he's king of the drunks

An' he squeezes, too

Watch out, Lester

Take it Lou

Join the monks

The C. I.O,

Tell 'em all

That Tiny Montgomery says hello.

Now grease that pig

And sing praise

Go on out

And gas that dog

Trick on in

Honk that stink

Take it down

And watch it grow

Play it low

And pick it up

Take it on in

In a plucking cup

Three-legged man

And a hot-lipped hoe

Tell 'em all

Montgomery says hello.



Well, you can tell ev'rybody

Down in ol' Frisco

Tell 'em all

Montgomery says hello.

JOHN LEE HOOKER lyrics - Baby Lee

(John Lee Hooker / James Bracken)



Baby Lee, don't do me like you do

Baby Lee, don't do me like you do

I love you baby, you never treat me right



Takin' you downtown, you carried me through the mill

Takin' you downtown baby, you carried me through the mill

Now you wanna treat me, and treat me like a child



Baby Lee, please don't do me wrong

Baby Lee, please don't do me wrong

I love you gal, I just can't stand your way



Baby Lee, you know you ain't treat me right

Baby Lee, you know you ain't treat me right

You take all my money, wanna treat me like a child



Baby Lee, please don't do me wrong

Baby Lee, you know I love you

Please don't do me wrong honey

I love you Baby Lee

You won't treat me right

RICK SPRINGFIELD lyrics - Woman

(Springfield)



And I say no, no more, I can't see you again

But I don't know if I mean it

I don't know if I just pretend

I make up my mind the feeling's dead

But who's fooling who inside my head

And I know that I had the feeling

That something's wrong

It's been out of my control for much too long

I always seem to want to fall in love

With the iron hand inside the velvet glove

But it feels too good



[Chorus:]

Oh woman, I need you (do you want me to beg)

I lost my pride long ago (and you know it)

Oh woman, I love you (when you take me to bed)

My private beatings never show

Woman when you make love you close your eyes

(And I get any closer to the mystery)

Oh woman, I need you (you must be the one)

Don't cut me free 'cause I can't be myself



The voices say stand up, I wish that I could

I feel the nail being driven in

But there's something about it that feels so good

You're always the talk of the town

And the town won't shut up talking 'til

The king is crowned

And I know that I know you like it,

hard and tough

There's a lot of heat and spark,

but that's not enough

The actor wants to skip the final scene

Tho' the keys are in the getaway machine

I just can't go



[Chorus]



And I know that I get the feeling

There's something wrong

It's been out of my control for much too long

I always seem to want to fall in love

With the iron hand inside the velvet glove

But it feels so good



[Chorus]

UFO lyrics - Lonely Cities (Of The Heart)

As the midnight fades in boys town

And the hustle stops to glow

This urban landscape sprawls before me

And the hunger starts to grow

But something more than my daddy showed to me

How he wanted to make a man of me

Living in the lonely cities of the heart

Hiding in the shadows and searching in the dark



My mama reads me like an open book

She knows when I'm up or down

But every night I stay longer

In the creole part of town

Something more than what the good lord gave to me

Something more, much more than this

Living in the lonely cities of the heart

Hiding in the shadows, searching in the dark



And it never stops, no it never stops, no one defends you now

Living in the lonely cities of the heart



(instrumental)



I can take a little pain, but not tonight again



Outside my hotel window I hear the Mardi Gras

Keep the candle burning bright Babe, i've come too far

As daylight creeps through the curtains I start to slip away,

And everything that seems so certain is just another day



Living in the lonely cities of the heart

Hiding in the shadows searching in the dark

And it never stops, no it never stops, no one defends you now

Living in the lonely cities of the heart

Hiding in the shadows searching in the dark

And it never stops, no it never stops, no one defends you now

Living in the lonely cities of the heart

Living in the lonely cities of the heart...

ELVIS COSTELLO lyrics - Shallow Grave

When I fall in endless sleep

I hope that I'll be buried deep

Let me be the one that fortune favours

Even good children got shallow graves



Throw another clown to the lions

Throw another Joan on the blaze

Cast me away on the cruel calm ocean

and leave me for days and days and days and days and days

I won't lie in this poor shallow grave

I won't lie, I won't lie in this poor shallow grave

Dig me down deep where the dead men sleep

I won't lie in this poor shallow grave



Bless the poor 'cos like the rich

They all end up in a ditch

In this world of fools and knaves

Even good children got shallow graves

The tinker, the tailor, the fabulous five

Nobody gets out of this alive



Dig me down deep where the dead men sleep

I won't lie in this poor shallow grave

Dig me down deep where the dead men sleep

I won't lie in this poor shallow grave

Dig me down, dig me down, dig me down deep

I won't lie in this poor shallow grave

BRIAN MAY lyrics - Doin' Alright

(Staffell/May)



Yesterday my life was in ruin

Now today I know what I'm doin'

Gotta feelin' I should be doin' alright

Doin' alright



Where will I be this time tommorow

Jumping with joy or sinking in sorrow

Anyway I should be doin' alright

Doin' alright



Should be waiting for the sun

Anyway I've got to hide

Going back to where the skies are blue

Going home to find the one

OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN lyrics - Gimme Some Lovin'

(Steve Winwood/Muff Winwood/Spencer Davis)



Well my temperature is rising and my feet left the floor

Crazy people knockin' cause they're wantin' some more

Let me in baby, I don't know what you've got

But you'd better take it easy, this place is hot



And I'm so glad we made it

So glad we made it

Oh won't you

Gimme some lovin', gimme some lovin', gimme some lovin'

Every day



Well my head is exploding and I'm floating to sound

So much is happening cause you're around

It's been a hard day and nothing went too good

I'm gonna relax like everybody should



And I'm so glad we made it

So glad we made it

Oh won't you

Gimme some lovin', gimme some lovin', gimme some lovin'

Every day

Oh now now, baby, oh give me your love



Well I feel so good, everything is getting hot

You'd better take it easy, cause this place is on fire

It's been a hard day, and I ain't feeling too good

I'd better relax like everybody should



And I'm so glad we made it

So glad we made it

Oh won't you

Gimme some lovin', gimme some lovin', gimme some lovin'

Every day

Gimme, gimme some lovin'

Oh baby, gimme some lovin'

Oh gimme some lovin'

I want you to gimme some lovin'

Oh baby won't you gimme some lovin'

THE HOLLIES lyrics - Isn't It Nice

(Clarke / Sylvester)



Isn't it nice to be someone

Someone you've dreamed that you are

Isn't it such a nice feeling

The feeling you've wished upon a star



You have slipped down a rainbow

Discovered your own pot of gold

You are living your wildest dream

Use them you'll never grow old



Just like Cinderella

But your clock will never strike twelve

You have something to envy

That everyone wants for themselves



You have slipped down a rainbow

Discovered your own pot of gold

Chasing moonbeams and catching the wind

And living stories you've been told



[Verse 2]



Isn't it nice to be somewhere

In places you've dreamed that you've seen

Isn't it such a nice feeling

Being where you've never been



[Verse 1]

FRANK ZAPPA lyrics - Tuna Fish Promenade

This town

This town

Is a Sealed Tuna Sandwich

Sealed Tuna Sandwich

With the wrapper glued

It's by baloney on the rack

It goes for 40 cents a whack

It's just a place for us to play

To help us pay

The cost of the tickets back to L. A.

The cost of the tickets back to L. A.

The cost of the tickets back to L. A.



All the people in the Sandwich Town

Think the place is great

What if part of it's crumbling down?

Most of them prob'ly won't be 'round. . .



They'll either be dead

Or moved to San Francisco

(Where everybody thinks they're Heavy Business. . .

But it's just a Tuna Sandwich from another catering service. . .)

BEE GEES lyrics - Voices

Sweet voices calling wild, echoing around this child

Sweet Faith I'll be joining you, when my story's over

Dee doo doo doo dah dee doo doo

doo doo doo dee doo doo doo dee doo dah day



Small secrets in the wind, blowing till the end begins

Oh my children stand by me till my story's over

Dee doo doo doo dah dee doo doo

doo doo doo dee doo doo doo dee doo dah day



If I were you and you were me those voices they would cease to be

They won't be free to torment me again

But in my bed again last night, those voices spoke of wrong and right

They spoke of darkness and of light

They spoke of weakness and of might

The spoke of people in the snow

And distant places long ago

The spoke of fire and falling rain

Of health and wealth and death and pain



Nah....



Sweet voices calling wild, echoing around this child

Sweet Faith I'll be joining you, when my story's over



If I were you and you were me those voices they would cease to be

They won't be free to torment me again

But in my bed again last night those voices spoke of wrong and right

They spoke of darkness and of light

They spoke of weakness and of might

They spoke of people in the snow

And distant places long ago

They spoke of fire and falling rain

Of health and wealth and death and pain



They spoke of people in the snow

And distant places long ago

They spoke of fire and falling rain

Of health and wealth and death and pain



La la.....

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN lyrics - She's The One

With her killer graces and her secret places

That no boy can fill with her hands on her hips

Oh and that smile on her lips

Because she knows that it kills me

With her soft french cream

Standing in that doorway like a dream

I wish she'd just leave me alone

Because french cream won't soften them boots

And french kisses will not break that heart of stone

With her long hair falling

And her eyes that shine like a midnight sun

Oh-o she's the one, she's the one



That Thunder in your heart

At night when you're kneeling in the dark

It says you're never gonna leave her

But there's this angel in her eyes

That tells such desperate lies

And all you want to do is believe her

And tonight you'll try just one more time

To leave it all behind and to break on through

Oh she can take you, but if she wants to break you

She's gonna find out that ain't so easy to do

And no matter where you sleep tonight or how far you run

Oh-o she's the one, she's the one



Oh-o and just one kiss

She'd fill them long summer nights

With her tenderness that secret pact you made

Back when her love could save you from the bitterness

Oh she's the one, oh she's the one

Oh she's the one, oh she's the one

Oh she's the one, oh she's the one

THE STEVE MILLER BAND lyrics - The Gangster's Back

(Steve Miller)



Look out, the gangster's back

I done traded in my old horse for a brand new Cadillac

I'm gonna play some blues

Cause I know you like that

Gonna get real loose

And do the jumpback jack



When I walk into a bar

Girls from near and far

Say I'm the gangster



Listen while a play for you

A crazy little thing called guitar blue

Red, black, yellow, or white

It don't matter mamas

You're all outta sight

Don't get too heavy

Now don't get uptight

Cause the gangster's here to turn on your light

You're my horse and you never win a race

And I dig you mama and your real crazy legs



When I walk into a bar

Girls from near and far

Say I'm the gangster



Do do do do do do

Do do do do do do

Do do do do do do

Do do do do do do

Go gangster (do do do do do)

Go gangster (do do do do)

Go gangster (do do do do do)

Go gangster (do do do do)

I'm a gangster



Started long time ago

Down in Texas where the guitars grow

Folks down there got all shook up

When I cut myself loose and did my stuff

Now it's ready, set

Ready, set go

Time for the gangster to start the show



Well, I'm lookin' for women

I'm on the road again

You know the gangster don't lose

He always win



When I walk into a bar

Girls from near and far

Say I'm the gangster



You better look out the gangster's back

MOTORHEAD lyrics - Traitor

You stand accused of treason, you offer no good reason

You are a bloody liar, yours is the stake the fire,

You say you are innocent, but you be caught and spent

And now you pay the price, for avarice, your vice

Intrigue your sole desire, you sold your wife, your child

You sell your oldest friends, you sold your countrymen

And yet we know your name, traitor, traitor



And now your face is shown, and so your fate is known,

We have discovered you, we have uncovered you,

You say you were led astray, fall on your knees and pray,

Pity is not for you, we'll make things hot for you,

Our hearts we make to harden, for you there is no pardon,

For you the spike awaits, upon the traitors gate,

And crows will eat your eyes, traitor, traitor



Delight we find in you, as we are binding you,

You look in vain for friends, you only find revenge

We give you blood and steel, we break you on the wheel

The ones you hope to sell, will send you straight to hell,

As we dismember you, we shall remember you,

You are abomination, you that betray the nation

You shall take long to die, traitor, traitor!!!

STEVEN CURTIS CHAPMAN lyrics - Consider It Done

(Steven Curtis Chapman)



[Eph 2:8-10]



Sometimes you wanna laugh, sometimes you wanna cry;

You're just not good enough no matter how hard you try,

So you go on, but do you know something's wrong.

You meant it when you asked Him in down on your knees;

Somehow you lost the thrill and thrills are what you need,

To let you know where you're gonna go.

You struggle on trying to earn what He's given you.

You struggle on; He died to give it, what more can you do.



[Chorus:]

So consider it, consider it done;

The prize you're fighting for is already won.

So consider it, consider it done;

You'll find His work's just begun

When you consider it done.



God helps the ones who help themselves, some people say,

But are we helping out or getting in His way.

He wants our best and Hell do the rest;

It's by His grace we're saved,

Not by the things we do,

So we've got to serve Him with a thankful attitude

And let Him know where He leads we'll go.

From this day on our hope's in Jesus and His work's complete.

From this day on, He makes His experience our history.



[Chorus]

CELINE DION lyrics - Only One Road

I'm looking back through the years

Down this highway

Memories, they all lead up to this one day

And many dreams lost along the way

Haunt me still

I guess they always will



When love was too much to bear

I just left it there

But here I stand face to face

With this heart of mine



Livin' without you I only fall behind

We had a love most people never find

All this time I never realized

And the courage I finally found

Has made me turn around



[Chorus]

There is only one road I'm walkin'

Only one lifetime one heart to guide me

Only one road I'm walkin'

But I'm gonna run back, I'm gonna run back

'Cause I need you right here

Beside me



I can still hear the song of your laughter

I can still taste the sorrow of your tears

We said goodbye but our hearts did not hear

Now my love there's nothing left to fear

With all my heart put me through

It leads me back to you



[Chorus]



[Chorus]



But I'm gonna run back, I'm gonna run back

'Cause I need you right here

Beside me

JIMMY BUFFETT lyrics - Grapefruit-Juicy Fruit

[1st verse:]

Grapefruit

Bathing suit

Chew a little Juicy Fruit

Wash away the night



Drive-in

Guzzle gin

Commit a little mortal sin

It's good for the soul.



[Bridge:]

And oh, it gets so damn lonely

When you're on the plane all alone

And if I had the money, Honey

I'd strap you in beside me

And never ever leave you

Leave you at home all alone and crying.



Ten speed

No need

My pick-up gets me where I please

Shuggin' sown the street.

But I'll be leavin'

In a little while

So close your eyes and I'll

Be back real soon



[Bridge]

[1st verse]

PAULA ABDUL lyrics - Knocked Out

I was in love the moment that I saw you

I followed you thru the crowd and I almost lost you

I was dying to tell you but scared of your reaction

But I can't hold back because I'm rushed with thing called passion



[Chorus:]

You've got me knocked out turn me inside out

It's you that makes my heart beat

You've got me knocked out

Baby there's no doubt

You swept me off of my feet



I walked your way hoping that

Maybe you noticed

I don't want to move so fast

I don't want to blow it



Never did I think love could be so amazing

But the things that you're making me do

It's driving me crazy



I want us to be closer, boy I wanna be

Startin' somethin with you baby

My heart is steady knockin boy you've got my body rockin', caught

blow-by-blow, love T. K.O.

BOB DYLAN lyrics - Winterlude

Winterlude, Winterlude, oh darling

Winterlude by the road tonight

Tonight there will be no quarreling

Everything is gonna be all right

Oh I see by the angel beside me

That love has a reason to shine

You're the one I adore come over here and give me more

Winterlude, this dude thinks you're fine.



Winterlude, Winterlude, my little apple

Winterlude by the corn in the field

Winterlude, let's go down to the chapel

Then come back and cook up a meal

Well, come out when the skating rink glistens

By the sun near the old crossroad sign

The snow is so cold but our love can be bold

Winterlude, don't be rude please be mine.



Winterlude, Winterlude, my little daisy

Winterlude by the telephone wire

Winterlude, it's making me lazy

Come one, sit by the logs in the fire

The moonlight reflects from the window

Where the snowflakes they cover the sand

Come out tonight everything will be tight

Winterlude, this dude thinks you're grand.

STING lyrics - Balulalow

(Trad; arranged by Sting)



I come from hevin which to tell

The best nowells that e'er befell

To you thir tythings trew I bring

And I will of them say and sing.



This day to you is born ane child

Of Marie meik and Virgin mild

That bliss it bairn bening and kind

And with the Hyrdis go full swyth

And see what God fo his grace hes done

Throu Christ to bring us to his throne



My saull and life stand up and see

Wha lyis in ane cribbe of tree

What Babe is that, sa gude and fair

It is Christ, God's Son and Air.



O my deir hart, yung Jesus sweit

Prepair thy creddil in my spreit!

And I sall rock thee in my hart

And never mair fra thee depart.



But I sall praise thee evermoir

With sangis sweit unto thy gloir

The kneis of my hart sall I bow

And sing that rycht Balulalow.

STEVIE WONDER lyrics - If It's Magic

If it's magic...

Then why can't it be everlasting

Like the sun that always shines

Like the poets in this rhyme

Like the galaxies in time



If it's pleasing...

Then why can't it be never leaving

Like the day that never fails

Like on seashores there are shells

Like the time that always tells



It holds the key to every heart

Throughout the universe

It fills you up without a bite

And quenches every thirst



So...

If it's special

Then with it why aren't we as careful

As making sure we dress in style

Posing pictures with a smile

Keeping danger from a child



It holds the key to every heart

Throughout the universe

It fills you up without a bite

And quenches every thirst



So...

If it's magic...

Why can't we make it everlasting

Like the lifetime of the sun

It will leave no heart undone

For there's enough for everyone

BILLY JOEL lyrics - All You Wanna Do Is Dance

Oh baby, you don't get turned on by the radio.

Oh baby, you got nothing to play on your stereo.

"Why don't the Beatles get back together?"

"Why don't nobody sing of romance?"-

Oh baby, all you wanna do is dance.



Oh baby, I think you are lost in the seventies.

Oh baby, "The music she ain't what she used to be."

You don't understand what they're saying,

You've given it every chance

Oh baby, all you wanna do is dance.



Well you wish you were back in the good old days,

When tomatoes were cheaper,

and you never heard the words of your favorite songs

Through a three inch speaker.

And you never messed around with dangerous drugs,

You were all getting sick on beer

And you didn't get any (unless you went steady and made out for a year).



Well you can hide away honey, in your rock and roll dreams,

You can stand by your blue suede shoes

But the party is over,

And I'm getting tired of waiting for you.



Oh baby, "Where are the oldies they used to play?"

Oh baby, you want to crawl back into yesterday,

You don't want to deal with the future,

You don't want to make any plans-

Oh baby, all you wanna do is dance.

WILBERT HARRISON lyrics - Kansas City

I'm going to Kansas City

Kansas City here I come

I'm going to Kansas City

Kansas City here I come

They got a crazy way of loving there

And I'm gonna get me some



I'll be standing on the corner

On the corner of Twelfth Street and Vine

I'm gonna be standing on the corner

On the corner of Twelfth Street and Vine

With my Kansas City baby

And a bottle of Kansas City wine



Well I might take a train

I might take a plane

But if I have to walk

I'm gonna get there just the same

I'm going to Kansas City

Kansas City here I come

They got a crazy way of loving there

And I'm gonna get me some



I'm gonna pack my clothes

Leave at the break of dawn

I'm gonna pack my clothes

Everybody will be sleeping

Nobody will know where I've gone

Cause if I stay in town

I know I'm gonna die

Gotta find a friendly city

And that's the reason why

I'm going to Kansas City

Kansas City here I come

They got a crazy way of loving there

And I'm gonna get me some

IGGY POP lyrics - Go For The Throat

I was lying in a coma

By the side of some damn road

My fucking heart was pounding

Like I thought it would explode

I had no protection

No familly

No friends

I had nothing really

But a will to make this end

Go for the throat

Go for the throat

Go for the throat

Go for the throat

I'm fucked'up

I'm so fucked'up



It isn't very nice

What I do to make end's meet

It isn't very pretty when you hate

The folks you meet

It's a shame to feel hurt and angry everyday

It's a shame to take it out

On whoever's in the way

Go for the throat

I'm fucked'up

Go for the throat

I'm fucked'up

Go for the throat

I'm fucked'up

Go for the throat

I'm fucked'up

Man I'm so fucked'up

I'm fucked'up

I'm fucked'up

I'm fucked'up

I'm fucked'up

Man I'm so fucked'up



Poor little girl

I hurt her really bad

I haven't been the same since I lost my mom and dad

Where is the justice?

Well I really don't know

When everybody is singing

Like a fucking so and so

Go for the throat

I'm fucked'up

Go for the throat

I'm fucked'up

Go for the throat

I'm fucked'up

Go for the throat

I'm fucked'up

Yeah I'm so fucked'up

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah



They took away my freedom

They took away my games

They took away my innocence

And gave me shitty fame

There's nothing left to stop me

There's nothing left to feel

There's nothing left inside me

But a low down dirty deal

Go for the throat

Go for the throat

Go for the throat

I'm fucked'up baby

Go for the throat

I'm fucked'up baby

I'm so fucked'up baby

I'm so fucked'up

Oh I'm fucked'up

I'm so fucked'up

Oh I'm fucked'up

I'm so fucked'up

Oh I'm fucked'up

Go for the throat

FAITH NO MORE lyrics - Smaller And Smaller

Drought makes the workers dream

Muscles and fields of green

Shovel the last few crumbs

Of generosity

Open heart, open mind, open mouth, open vein

DRAIN

Someday the rains will come

My blistered hands tell me

Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow



BITE

BITE

BITE

CRY



I'll keep coming back

Smaller and smaller and smaller

Squash me

Smaller and smaller and smaller

Under the charity

Smaller and smaller and smaller

Under the topsoil

Smaller and Smaller and smaller

Under the fingernail

Smaller and smaller and smaller



Then the small becomes all becomes all...... P>



BITE

BITE

BITE

CRY



(It's not a mirage)

(It's not a mirage)

(Trickling downward, trickling downward)

(It's not a mirage)



DRAIN

DRAIN

BITE

BITE

BITE

CRY



Smaller and smaller and smaller and smaller and smaller.......

ELTON JOHN lyrics - (Gotta Get A) Meal Ticket

I can hound you if I need to

Sip your brandy from a crystal shoe

In the corner, in the corner

While the others climb reaching dizzy heights

The world's in front of me in black and white

I'm on the bottom line, I'm on the bottom line



I'd have a cardiac if I had such luck

Lucky losers, lucky losers landing on skid row

Landing on skid row

While the Diamond Jims

And the Kings road pimps

Breath heavy in their brand new clothes

I'm on the bottom line, I'm on the bottom line



And I gotta get a meal ticket

To survive you need a meal ticket

To stay alive you need a meal ticket

Feel no pain, no pain

No regret, no regret

When the line's been signed

You're someone else

Do yourself a favor, the meal ticket does the rest



Shake a hand if you have to

Trust in us and we will love you anyway, anyway

Don't leave us stranded in the jungle

With fifty percent that's hard to handle

Ain't that so, ain't that so

ELVIS COSTELLO lyrics - Clown Strike

She'll fix you with an iron cross

And cover you up with petals

And hang you up with some amber beads

And four or five precious metals

And in that black flamingo chair

You'll sit among her trophies

And pray to be abandoned

Till you don't know what hope is



[Chorus:]

But there's one thing that I had to keep inside

Because I was shaking

Why don't you get some pride

There was a clown strike

And the clowns threw down their tools

But you don't have to play so hard

And I'm nobody's fool

You don't have to go so far

'Cause I love you as you are



The big top is deserted now

And the circus girl rehearses

She knows how to turn their heads

And not fall between two horses

But all that seems a simple step

If only I were able

To love you like I want to do

And not by some times table



[Chorus]



And it's pandemonium

For the humble and the mighty

You don't have to tumble for me

Even a clown knows when to strike



Tell me what you want of me

Or are you terrified of failure?

You put on a superstitious face

Behind all this paraphernalia

We're not living in a masquerade

Where you only have three wishes

It isn't easy to see

In a lifetime of mistaken kisses



[Chorus]



In this pandemonium

For the humble and the mighty

You don't have to tumble for me

Even a clown knows when to strike

RUSH lyrics - Out Of The Cradle

It's not a place

It's a yearning

It's not a race

It's a journey



It's not an act

It's attraction

It's not a style

It's an action



It's a dream for the waking

It's a flower touched by flame

It's a gift for the giving

It's a power with a hundred names



Surge of energy, spark of inspiration

The breath of love is electricity

Maybe time is bird in flight

Endlessly mocking

Here we come out of the cradle

Endlessly rocking

Endlessly rocking



It's a hand

That rocks the cradle

It's a motion

That swings the sky

It's method on the edge of madness

It's a balance on the edge of a knife

It's a smile on the edge of sadness

It's a dance on the edge of life



Endlessly rocking

STATUS QUO lyrics - Reason For Living

(Rossi/Parfitt)



I felt in need of some loving

So I sat down on a wall

I tried to find a reason for living

But I couldn't find a reason at all

So I owned up to my maker

And I started to say a prayer

I waited for an answer

But there wasn't anybody there



I thought there should have been someone

But I wasn't quite sure who

It finished me to find there was no-one

That I could take my troubles to

So I knelt down by my bedside

And I started to say a prayer

It was when I asked for nothing

I could feel that there was somebody there



I'm looking still, but it's easy

'cos I know which way to go

It doesn't matter how long it takes me

'cos there's someone there to help me who knows

All the things that I am after

All the loving that I want to share

It's so hard but I don't mind

'cos there really is somebody there



I felt in need of some loving

So I sat down on a wall

I tried to find a reason for living

But I couldn't find a reason at all

So I owned up to my maker

And I started to say a prayer

I waited for an answer

But there wasn't anybody there
