JOHN DENVER lyrics - Song For The Life
(Crowell)
I don't drink as much as I used to, lately it just ain't my style.
And the hard times don't hurt like they ought to,
They pass quickly like when I was a child.
Somehow I've learned how to listen for a sound like the sun going down.
In the magic the morning is bringing, there's a song for the life I have found.
It keeps my feet on the ground.
Don't the midsummer days sit so heavy.
But don't they flow like a breeze through your mind.
And nothing occurs in a hurry to make up for someone's lost time.
Somehow I've learned how to listen for a sound like the sun going down.
In the magic the morning is bringing, there's a song for the friend I have found.
She keeps my feet on the ground.
Somehow I've learned how to listen for a sound like the breeze dying down.
In the magic the morning is bringing, there's a song for the life I have found.
It keeps my feet on the ground. Ooh, yes, it keeps my feet on the ground.
HANK WILLIAMS, JR. lyrics - If Heaven Ain't A Lot Like Dixie
If heaven ain't a lot like Dixie
I don't wanna go
If heaven ain't a lot like Dixie
I'd just as soon stay home
I was one of the chosen few
To be born in Alabam
I'm just alike my daddy's son
I'm proud of who I am
I went through a lot of good women
And shook old Jim Beam's hand
If I never see the pearly gates
I've walked through the promised land
If heaven ain't a lot like Dixie
I don't wanna go
If heaven ain't a lot like Dixie
I'd just as soon stay home
If they don't have a Grand Ole Opry
Like they do in Tennessee
Just send me to hell or New York City
It would be about the same to me
I've got wild honey trees and crazy little weeds
Growin around my shack
These dusty roads ain't streets of gold
But I'm a happy right where I'm at
All these pretty little southern belles
Are a country boy's dream
They ain't got wings or halos
But they sure look good to me
If heaven ain't a lot like Dixie
I don't wanna go
If heaven ain't a lot like Dixie
I'd just as soon stay home
If heaven ain't a lot like Dixie
I don't wanna go
If heaven ain't a lot like Dixie
I'd just as soon stay home
If they don't have a Grand Ole Opry
Like they do in Tennessee
Just send me to hell or New York City
It would be about the same to me
If heaven ain't a lot like Dixie
I don't wanna go
If heaven ain't a lot like Dixie
I'd just as soon stay home
If heaven ain't a lot like Dixie
I don't wanna go
If heaven ain't a lot like Dixie
I'd just as soon stay home
If they don't have a Grand Ole Opry
Like they do in Tennessee
Just send me to hell or New York City
It would be about the same to me

DARYL HALL AND JOHN OATES lyrics - Winged Bull
Well I'm looking at her from a rock &
roll tower
With the windows, its eyes
And its black stained sides that can't
be climbed
"cause they're slick as wet glass
And the gate lets the force out, but thru
"none shall pass"
But when I'm with you it's just me in my time
Guess I've taken some form
Who knows which time around
But one of the reasons is to unite me
with you
I'm sure of that baby, if a heart tells the truth
Is it the Winged Bull
Or the horns of Old Pan
There's Ra unto Isis
There's woman to man
Sun and the moon
Minus and plus
Zero equals two
In love and in us
Wings of fire and me in my time
Taking the form making this sound
It's all of the reasons that unite me with you
I'm sure of that baby
If a heart tells the truth
Heart tells the truth
JOAN BAEZ lyrics - Gracias A La Vida
(V. Parra, arr. by J. Baez)
[Here's To Life]
Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto.
Me dio dos luceros, que cuando los abro,
Perfecto distingo lo negro del blanco
Y en el alto cielo su fondo estrellado
Y en las multitudes el hombre que yo amo.
Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto.
Me ha dado el oido que en todo su ancho
Graba noche y dia, grillos y canarios,
Martillos, turbinas, ladridos, chubascos,
Y la voz tan tierna de mi bien amado.
Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto.
Me ha dado el sonido y el abecedario;
Con el las palabras que pienso y declaro:
Madre, amigo, hermano, y luz alumbrando
La ruta del alma del que estoy amando.
Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto.
Me ha dado la marcha de mis pies cansados;
Con ellos anduve ciudades y charcos,
Playas y desiertos, montanas y llanos,
Y la casa tuya, tu calle y tu patio.
Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto.
Me dio el corazon que agita su marco
Cuando miro el fruto del cerebro humano,
Cuando miro al bueno tan lejos del malo,
Cuando miro al fondo de tus ojos claros.
Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto.
Me ha dado la risa y me ha dado el llanto.
Asi yo distingo dicha de quebranto,
Los dos materiales que forman mi canto,
Y el canto de ustedes que es mi mismo canto,
Y el canto de todos que es mi propio canto.
Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto.
DEPECHE MODE lyrics - Freestate
I can hear your soul crying
Listen to your spirit sighing
I can feel your desperation
Emotional deprivation
Let yourself go
Let yourself go
Let your feelings show
Picking up the conversation
Deep in your imagination
Tune into the lonely voices
Talking of their only choices
Let yourself go
Let yourself go
Let your spirit grow
Step out of your cage
And onto the stage
It's time to start
Playing your part
Freedom awaits
Open the gates
Open your mind
Freedom's a state
I can taste the tears falling
The bitterness inside you calling
Yearning for a liberation
Emotional emancipation
Let yourself go
Let yourself go
Let your senses overflow
Step out of your cage
And onto the stage
It's time to start
Playing your part
Freedom awaits
Open the gates
Open your mind
Freedom's a state

DEF LEPPARD lyrics - Rocks Off
Well, we were gettin' ready just the other night
When a knock on the dressing room door
Gave way to a leather jacket little girl
Who we'd never ever seen before
In her red satin dress and her high heeled shoes
She took us all by surprise
And when she asked us what we wanted to do
Well, she said it with her eyes
Just getcha rocks off
When we finally took the stage there she was
But she wasn't on her own
'Cause she'd brought some friends maybe 5 or 6
Yeah, she must have been on the phone
And when they started dancing and jumping around
Well we couldn't believe our eyes
'Cause they'd got the whole damn audience rockin'
And they'd got us paralyzed
Just getcha rocks off

DAVID BYRNE lyrics - A Walk In The Dark
I'm takin' all your little toys away
You don't have any say so in your future
The pretty colors and the shiny lights
Do we just chase whatever we desire?
Oh silent night
Oh holy night
Sometimes you see me
Sometimes you don't
You'll get to know me better
After a walk in the dark
The monster in the mirror
We'll take a walk in the dark
Woah - we'll take a walk in the dark
Woah - we'll take a walk in the dark
I'm not afraid to close my eyes at night
I'm not afraid of what my dreams will show me
I saw a fish that had a human head
I saw some things that I would like to show you:
The broken glass
The car's on fire
Open the cages
And set them free
Mine eyes have seen the glory
I took a walk in the dark
It ain't no bedtime story
We'll take a walk in the dark
Woah - we'll take a walk in the dark
Woah - we'll take a walk in the dark
Oooh -
Who will help ya now?
Surrender,
My love
Let it all come down
Burn baby burn
Now Jesus, Mary and the Holy Ghost
Took one look and they said, "Hey, we're lost!"
"How the hell do we get outa here?"
They shit their pants, they got so scared
So no matter who you are
Ya need a walk in the dark
The sweetest thing I ever saw
I took a walk in the dark
Woah - we'll take a walk in the dark
Woah - we'll take a walk in the dark
ROD STEWART lyrics - 'Till There Was You
There were bells on a hill
But I never heard them ringing
No, I never heard them at all
Till there was you
There were birds in the sky
But I never saw them winging
No, I never saw them at all
Till there was you
Then there was music and wonderful roses
They tell me in sweet fragrant meadows
Of dawn and dew
There was love all around
But I never heard it singing
No I never heard it at all
Till there was you
Then there was music and wonderful roses
They tell me in sweet fragrant meadows
Of dawn and dew
There was love all around
But I never heard it singing
No, I never heard it at all
Till there was you
Till there was you
SONNY AND CHER lyrics - Summertime
Summertime
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high
You're daddy's rich
And your mother's good-lookin'
So hush little baby, don't you cry
One of these mornings
You're gonna wake up singin'
You'll spread your wings
You're gonna take off and fly
But until that mornin'
Ain't nothin' in this world gonna hurt you
So hush little baby, hush little baby
Don't you cry no, no, no, no
You're daddy's rich
And your mother's good-lookin'
So hush little baby, don't you cry
Hush little baby, don't you cry
Hush little baby, don't you cry
Hush little baby, don't you cry

JOHN DENVER lyrics - Deck The Halls
(Traditional)
Deck the halls with boughs of holly, fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.
'Tis the season to be jolly, fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.
Don we now our gay apparel, fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.
Troll the ancient Yuletide carol, fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.
See the blazing Yule before us, fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.
Strike the harp and join the chorus, fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.
Follow me in merry measure, fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.
While I tell of Yuletide treasure, fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.
Fast away the old year passes, fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.
Hail the new year, lads and lasses, fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.
Sing we joyous, all together, fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.
Heedless of the wind and weather, fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.

SKID ROW lyrics - Psycho Love
(Bolan)
Check out Clementine
Cleanin' needles in her wine
Face down in her one-eyed world
With her brain-dead valentine
She'll be your zombie, your livin' dead
Her sweet corruption
It's gonna make you, gonna break you
Ohh yeah, she said...
Haunt my house of pain
And feel my psycho love
We'll shine and pray for rain
To heal my psycho love
Legs at ten and two
Chain her down that's what you do
King Tut and snake-eyed slut
In the pink but screamin' blue
I'll taste your crazy, you smell insane
I'm just another ghost
Inside your spirits hall of fame
Haunt my house of pain
And feel my psycho love
We'll shine and pray for rain
To heal my psycho love
As the warm smooth soul
Chases through the cold silence
Of a body
A body of touch not feel
One question is she a stone in the
Devil's garden
Or a speck in an angels dust
Ashes to ashes
And lust to lust
She'll teach you true love
Watchin' you turn blue love
She'll wrap you in a chokehold
And suck your symptom dry

DAVID BOWIE lyrics - Shining Star (Makin' My Love)
Eddie boy lit like paraffin
spending two weeks
in a crack house
Burns on his brain
like Chernobyl
Dean was seen
with a two bag purchase
He was lying dead on his mother's bed
Someone for pray for-
till I met you
Life is like a broken arrow-
memory a swingin' door
I could be your great misfortune-
I can make you happy
every day of your life
Making my love
like a shining star
takin' my love just a touch too far
Tessie turns tricks with a soul like ice
cause love left holes
And four swell kids breaking her heart
I've got windows, I've seen much vice,
I've touched down with vermin,
Cowardice, lice,
And I say
Nobody cares what you do-
please be yourself to death
I could be your great misfortune
But you'll never find a, bet you'll never find a better man.
Making my love
like a shining star
Taking my love just a touch too far.
Peter met Frank
formed a dummy run gang
Worked heist or hit for 10 g's flat
Blew heads outta shape for the name of Trotsky, Sinn-
Fein, Hitler cashdown
No hope heroes cover the page
with debts in hell
And fingers in blood
Poor little bodies all covered in scabs
threw it all away
Another life in the grave
Another life in the grave
Life is like a broken arrow-
memory a swingin' door
I could be your great misfortune-
Well I could make you happy
every goddamn single day of your life
Making my love
like a shining star
Like a shining star
Baby that's what you are
Like a shining star
Making my love
like a shining star
Taking my love
Just a touch too far
RICHARD THOMPSON lyrics - Sneaky Boy
(Richard Thompson)
Sneaky Boy, Sneaky Boy
Thought you were one of us
One of our gang
Sneaky Boy, Sneaky Boy
The mole in the tunnel
The canary who sang
While we sad chums
Just scratched our bums
Your heels were pacing
While we dropped blues
And took a snooze
Your mind was racing
Sneaky Boy, Sneaky Boy
Sneaky Boy, Sneaky Boy
Your teeth and your t-shirt
Were always too clean
Sneaky Boy, Sneaky Boy
They're writing your name
Down in the latrine, boy
And just who chose
Your rebel clothes
Was it your mummy?
We never knew
The side of you
Behind the dummy
Sneaky Boy, Sneaky Boy
Spleen of Mammon, spleen of Midas
Now you scold us, now you chide us
Mammon lung and Midas liver
Now you sell us down the river
You had your look
Right out the book
Of weekend poses
Now we bankrupt
And self-destruct
You smell of roses
Sneaky Boy, Sneaky Boy
THE MCAULEY SCHENKER GROUP lyrics - Destiny
(S. Mann/R. McAuley)
Better run Run away
No time, to be a hero
You wanna live to fight, another day
Don't look back, look straight ahead
One wrong move you'll be better off dead
They're out to get you boy,
you'd better run Run away
They'll soon be breathing down your neck
gonna kick you in the crutch
Hold on to life, better stay in touch
You hold the power in your hands
Control your destiny, make them understand
You are a part of future plans
Together you and me, we gotta make a stand
Politics Get in the way
Children starve and all they say
You wanna live your gonna have to pay
No way, we should stand for this
A false word and a broken promise
Don't let them fool you now,
retaliate It's not too late they'll try to complicate
don't crawl not at all
I'm waiting for your call
You hold the power in your hands
Control your destiny, make them understand
You are a part of future plans
Together you and me, we gotta make a stand
Can't seem to get enough
Can't seem to show no mercy
They'll run you down if you let 'em
Pick it up, kick it up
Never let 'em get your back up
Take it in your stride, and let it go
I will follow; to the end of time
One word, one reason, soon it could be mine
it's love I'm speaking of
Turns you inside, outside, upside down
You're confused-I feel like I've been used
You hold the power in your hands
Control your destiny, make them understand
You are a part of future plans
Together you and me, we gotta make a stand
THE BANGLES lyrics - Some Dreams Come True
I've seen the shadows fall
Colors that fade on my wall
Dressed up nowhere to go
It's all in my mind, I know.
But it's alright now
We're on our way.
Lay me down in the moonlight
So close to you (so close to you)
Maybe we're just dreamers
Some dreams come true.
Lips move but not a sound
When the words fall to the ground
Ooh, eyes watch but seldom see
The possibilities.
But it's alright now
We're on our way.
Lay me down in the moonlight
So close to you (so close to you)
Maybe we're just dreamers
Some dreams come true
When we're together
There's nothing we can't do (nothing we can't do)
Maybe we're just dreamers
Some dreams come true.
Moving in circles that we create
Seeing whatever we choose
Hear only voices that call your name.
And it's alright now
We're on our way.
Lay me down in the moonlight
So close to you (so close to you)
Maybe we're just dreamers
Some dreams come true
When we're together
There's nothing we can't do (nothing we can't do)
Maybe we're just dreamers
Some dreams come true.
Lay me down in the moonlight
So close to you (so close to you)
Maybe we're just dreamers
Some dreams come true
When we're together
There's nothing we can't do (nothing we can't do)
Maybe we're just dreamers
Some dreams come true.
BOBBY GOLDSBORO lyrics - Honey
(Bobby Russel)
See the tree, how big it's grown
But friend it hasn't been too long
It wasn't big
I laughed at her and she got mad
The first day that she planted it, was just a twig
Then the first snow came
And she ran out to brush the snow away
So it wouldn't die
Came runnin' in all excited
Slipped and almost hurt herself
And I laughed till I cried
She was always young at heart
Kinda dumb and kinda smart and I loved her so
And I surprised her with a puppy
Kept me up all Christmas Eve two years ago
And it would sure embarrass her
When I came in from workin' late
'Cause I would know
That she'd been sittin' there and cryin'
Over some sad and silly late, late show
And honey, I miss you
And I'm bein' good
And I'd love to be with you
If only I could
She wrecked the car and she was sad
And so afraid that I'd be mad
But what the heck
Though I pretended hard to be
Guess you could say she saw through me
And hugged my neck
I came home unexpectedly
And caught her cryin' needlessly
In the middle of the day
And it was in the early Spring
When flowers bloom and robins sing
She went away
And honey, I miss you
And I'm bein' good
And I'd love to be with you
If only I could
One day while I was not at home
While she was there and all alone
The angels came
Now all I have is memories of Honey
And I wake up nights and call her name
Now my life's an empty stage
Where Honey lived and Honey played
And love grew up
And a small cloud passes overhead
And cries down on the flower bed
That Honey loved
And see the tree how big it's grown
But friend it hasn't been too long
It wasn't big
And I laughed at her and she got mad
The first day that she planted it, was just a twig

STEVIE NICKS lyrics - Juliet
It was way too hard... it was way too tough...
On this she had not bargained
But she was like some missionary dancing to the beat of some
Man's ancient drum
And she tries hard to tell this story... but it's a hard one to tell
She consults her book of Miracles...
Cry... and the wind says fly on
Well now you're on your own
You're back out on the road again for a million reasons
Well you're back out on the road again
And you try to tie together some connections...
You get some ribbons and some bows and get back out on the road again
So you found a queen without a king
Oh yes, and everyone here loved her... no one was wrong
But you're a little bit like her
You're just a little bit like her
A little bit like her... a little bit like Juliet
Turn to the blue crystal mirror... well as always it is truthful
Oh, well you see it in the reflection of the real blue lamp
Well tie the connection... get some ribbons and some bows... get back
Out on the road
But when they were good... they were really good... really good stranger
So you found a queen without a king
Oh yes, and everyone here loved her... no one was wrong
You're a little bit like her
You're just a little bit like her
A little bit like her... a little bit like Juliet
Let the crisis become a bridge... and cross that bridge tomorrow
Well let the time that goes between, baby...
Well let it let go of the sorrow
She says "The sky is crying." He says "No, the sky is blue."
He says "The sky is not crying," he says "The sky is blue."
She says "The sky is crying." He says "The sky is blue."
Can you get into that?
"The sky is crying... " He says "No, the sky is blue... "
AMY GRANT lyrics - Abide With Me
Abide with me, fast falls the eventide
The darkness deepens, Lord, with me abide
When other helpers fail and comforts flee
Help of the helpless, O abide with me
I need Thy presence every passing hour
What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power
Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be
Through the cloud and sunshine, O abide with me
Abide, abide with me
Abide, abide with me
I fear no foe with Thee at hand to bless
I'll have no weight, and tears no bitterness
Where is death's sting?
Where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still if Thou Abide with me
Abide, with me Abide, With me
Abide, abide with me
Abide, abide with me

THE KINKS lyrics - The Hard Way
Boys like you were born to waste,
You never listen to a word I say
And if you think you're here to mess around,
You're making a big mistake,
'Cos you're gonna find out the hard way,
You gonna find out the hard way.
No matter what I do or say,
You're much too dumb to educate.
One day life's going to turn around and slap you in the face,
Then you're gonna find out the hard way.
You'll take the hard way,
Gonna take the hard way.
Well, you'll do it your way and I'll do it my way,
And we'll see who's the one to survive.
You'll find that with no foundation
Or qualifications
There's no way that you can get by,
No, there's no way you can get by.
Why don't you take the easy way?
Why don't you co-operate?
Don't just sit there and vegetate.
Do you want to end up illiterate?
You think that life's a vacation
And you've no inclination
To dust away the cobwebs of your mind.
Now it's time for confrontation
And I'm tired of being patient,
So I've got to be cruel to be kind.
Yeah, I've got to be cruel to be kind.
I'm wasting my vocation teaching you to write neat
When you're only fit to sweep the streets.
Your intellect is such
That it requires a killer's touch.
So I'm going to play it your way,
We'll take the hard way.
Going to take the hard way,
You can take the hard way.
Gonna take the hard way,
Gonna take the hard way.
JOY DIVISION lyrics - I Remember Nothing
We were strangers.
We were strangers, for way too long, for way too long,
We were strangers, for way too long.
Violent, violent,
Were strangers.
Get weak all the time, may just pass the time,
Me in my own world, and you there beside,
The gaps are enormous, we stare from each side,
We were strangers for way too long.
Violent, more violent, his hand cracks the chair,
Moves on reaction, then slumps in despair,
Trapped in a cage and surrendered to soon,
Me in my own world, the one that you knew,
For way too long.
We were strangers for way too long.
We were strangers,
We were strangers for way too long,
For way too long.
DONNA SUMMER lyrics - Lady Of The Night
They call her the lady of the night
She's a woman of the world
And easy-living girl with love for sale
That's what they call her the lady of the night
No one seems to know her name
And even less about the place
From where she came
Every evening when the night is close at hand
You'll find the lady on the Rue d'Avignon
In a half lit hotel doorway the lady advertises warmly
It's just a job but she'll do the best she can
Don't try to change this lady of the night
She's a lot like you and me
And less than what she seems to be
(She is the lady of the night)
And easy-living girl
(she is the lady of the night)
She's a woman of the world
(she is the lady of the night)
With lots of loving for sale
(she is the lady of the night)
Lady lady of the night
Round here they call her the lady of the night
In a perfume hotel room
Shadows dance upon the wall and fade at dawn
She's no beginner this lady of the night
Never try that funny stuff
'cause lady can be tough
Be warned!
(She is the lady of the night)
She's a lot like you and me
(she is the lady of the night)
And never just what she seems
(she is the lady of the night)
No one seems to know her name
(she is the lady of the night)
Or the place from where she came

THE MANHATTANS lyrics - Kiss And Say Goodbye
[Spoken:]
This has got to be the saddest day of my life
I called you here today for a bit of bad news
I won't be able to see you anymore
Because of my obligations, and the ties that you have
We've been meeting here everyday
And since this is our last day together
I wanna hold you just one more time
When you turn and walk away, don't look back
I wanna remember you just like this
Let's just kiss and say goodbye
I had to meet you here today
There's just so many things to say
Please don't stop me 'til I'm through
This is something I hate to do
We've been meeting here so long
I guess what we done, oh was wrong
Please darlin', don't you cry
Let's just kiss and say goodbye
Many months have passed us by
(I'm gonna miss you)
I'm gonna miss you, I can't lie
(I'm gonna miss you)
I've got ties, and so do you
I just think this is the thing to do
It's gonna hurt me, I can't lie
Maybe you'll meet, you'll meet another guy
Understand me, won't you try, try, try, try, try, try, try
Let's just kiss and say goodbye (Goodbye)
(I'm gonna miss you)
I'm gonna miss you, I can't lie
(I'm gonna miss you)
Understand me, won't you try
(I'm gonna miss you)
It's gonna hurt me, I can't lie
(I'm gonna miss you)
Take my hankerchief, wipe your eyes
(I'm gonna miss you)
Maybe you'll find, you'll find another guy
(I'm gonna miss you)
Let's kiss and say goodbye, pretty baby
(I'm gonna miss you)
Please, don't you cry
(I'm gonna miss you)
Understand me, won't you try
(I'm gonna miss you)
Let's just kiss
And say goodbye
HOWLIN' WOLF lyrics - Little Baby
(Willie Dixon)
You'll go and I'll come with you little baby
You'll go and I'll come with you little baby
You'll go and I'll come with you
You'll bet your life that I won't quit you
You'll go and I'll come with you little baby
You'll go to court
And I'll come along
You'll go to jail
And I'll throw your bond
You got time
Tell you what I'll do
I'll stay outside and wait for you
You'll go and I'll come with you little baby
You'll go and I'll come with you little baby
You'll go and I'll come with you
You'll bet your life that I won't quit you
You'll go and I'll come with you little baby
You'll go to church
And I'll go there too
You'll go to work
I'll tell you what I do
You'll get paid
I'll hold the money
I'll be right there to protect you honey
You'll go and I'll come with you little baby
You'll go and I'll come with you little baby
You'll go and I'll come with you
You'll bet your life that I won't quit you
You'll go and I'll come with you little baby
You'll get the fair
And I'll go to show
You'll bet the horses
And I'll pick up the dough
You work hard
Hurt my pride
I'll be right there by your side
You'll go and I'll come with you little baby
You'll go and I'll come with you little baby
You'll go and I'll come with you
You'll bet your life that I won't quit you
You'll go and I'll come with you little baby
Ooh, little baby
Ooh, little baby
Ooh, little baby
BOB SEGER & THE SILVER BULLET BAND lyrics - Revisionism Street
I saw them standing on a corner
Bathed in ordinary light
They turned away and started walkin'
And faded off into the night
Some years ago they were in fashion
Tonight they couldn't get a seat
They've got themselves a brand new history
From Revisionism Street
Written on Revisionism Street
The years of sacrifice and struggle
The arc of stardom's natural course
The inevitable decline
The wolves waiting at the door
"Let's dig up something really nasty"
"Let's get some clay around their feet"
"No ones memory is sacred 'round here
On Revisionism Street"
"We'll never be in the arena"
"Hey, we'll never have to compete"
"We'll never write a classic novel"
"And we'll never have to be discreet!"
Alfred Hitchcock, Isaac Newton
Elvis Presley, Captain Bligh
They're heroic or pathetic
Depending on which book you buy
Charles Dickens, Jackie Gleason
Burn 'em all, turn up the heat
If there's no truth, use innuendo
this is Revisionism Street
"Let's find ourselves some old acquaintance"
"Let's see what they have to say"
"Some disgruntled ex-employee"
"Presto! Payday!"
A tree falls in the forest
A million copies go to print
Some parasitic little feeder
Sits back and makes a mint
Somewhere a baby's softly sleeping
lt's innocence complete
Unaware they're workin' late tonight
On Revisionism Street
LOS LOBOS lyrics - One Time, One Night
(David Hidalgo/Louie Perez)
A wise man was telling stories to me
About the places he had been to
And the things that he had seen
A quiet voice is singing something to me
An age old song about the home of the brave
In this land here of the free
One time one night in America
A lady dressed in white with the man she loved
Standing along the side of their pickup truck
A shot rang out in the night
Just when everything seemed right
Another headline written down in America
The guy that lived next door in #305
Took the kids to the park and disappeared
About half past nine
Who will ever know
How much she loved them so
That dark night alone in America
A quiet voice is singing something to me
An age old song about the home of the brave
In this land here of the free
One time one night in America
Four small boys playing ball in a parking lot
A preacher, a teacher, and the other became a cop
A car skidded into the rain
Making the last little one a saint
One more light goes out in America
A young girl tosses a coin in the wishing well
She hopes for a heaven while for her
There's just this hell
She gave away her life
To become somebody's wife
Another wish unanswered in America
People having so much faith
Die too soon while all the rest come late
We write a song that no one sings
On a cold black stone
Where a lasting peace will finally bring
The sunlight plays upon my windowpane
I wake up to a world that's still the same
My father said to be strong
And that a good man could never do wrong
In a dream I had last night in America
A wise man was telling storie to me
About the places he had been to
And the things that he had seen
A quiet voice is singing something to me
An age old song about the home of the brave
In this land here of the free
One time one night in America
NEIL YOUNG lyrics - Cripple Creek Ferry
Hey, hey
Cripple Creek ferry
Butting through
the overhanging trees
Make way
for the Cripple Creek ferry
The waters going down
it's a mighty tight squeeze.
All alone the captain stands
Hasn't heard
from his deck hands.
The gambler tips his hat
and walks towards the door.
It's the second half
of the cruise.
And you know he hates to lose.
Hey, hey Cripple Creek ferry
Butting through
the overhanging trees
Make way
for the Cripple Creek ferry
The waters going down
it's a mighty tight squeeze.
BARCLAY JAMES HARVEST lyrics - Delph Town Morn
Sitting here, me and Chris's son
We've got a story to strike you down
About a girl with the light in her eyes
Black on the night, drive on the day
Let the wheels run dry
Sitting here, waiting for the sun
Little darling, for you to come
By the light of the moon flashing by
Black on the night, drive on the day
Let the wheels run dry
Fly on by silver bird in the sky
Fly on day, black on night, roll on by
Bring on the sunshine shine in her eyes
Fly on by silver bird
Sitting here in the early grey
Of a Delph town morning, we sit and pray
For a sight of the light in her eyes
Black on the night, drive on the day
Let the wheels run dry
Fly on by silver bird in the sky
Fly on day, black on night, roll on by
Bring on the sunshine shine in her eyes
Fly on by silver bird
JACKIE JACKSON lyrics - Fine Fine Lady
(R Brookins/Jackie Jackson/M Dailsy/M Brookins)
I'm that simply kind of fellow
This love will never do wrong
When it comes down to loving
To show you where you've got to be strong
And I know
Been through many changes
Trying to keep your love alive
Through all the pain and heartache
I'm not the guy you look behind
Baby, hi
Cause you're a fine fine lady
It's me that's gonna love you forever
Cause you're a fine fine lady
The only love is us together
Together
Don't know
The pain that you're feeling
Couldn't really understand
I'm here to let you know girl
I'll always be here as a friend
Don't you see girl
I'm not trying to change you
It's coming straight from the heart
We shall love again
I need you girl right here in my arms
Cause you're a fine fine lady
It's me that's gonna love you forever
Cause you're a fine fine lady
The only love is us together
Together
Cause you're a fine fine lady
It's me that's gonna love you forever
Cause you're a fine fine lady
The only love is us together
Together
I just can't stop this feeling
It's down deep in my heart
You're the one I adore baby
And I'll never let it fall apart
You know I love you
Let's do this any time
Let's do it right
I'm here all along you see
I just wanna love you
For the rest of my life
So please baby let me love you
Cause you're a fine fine lady
It's me that's gonna love you forever
Cause you're a fine fine lady
The only love is us together
Together
[Ad lib/fade]
THE CHURCH lyrics - Easy
Any day now you'll see me coming rambling down your street at night
In the broad moonlight
Underneath the blooming trees a seasons greeting's beating up the shore
So open up your door
Easy baby
You don't have to say a word
Easy now
You don't have to do a thing
You'll protect me with your arts and it all starts again surrounding me
Inevitably
Hiding in your haven, maybe stark and maybe raving, completely sane
It's just so plain arcane
Easy baby
You don't have to act so hard
Easy now
You don't have to be like that
Any day now you'll hear me ringing, hear me singing down the line
Or just in your mind
You'll embrace me, turn to face me, try to replace me, it will be too late
Now that's all I'll say
Easy baby
It's so hard to walk away
Easy now
You don't have to end like this

GRATEFUL DEAD lyrics - If I Had The World To Give
If I had the world to give, I'd give it to you
Long as you live, would you let it fall, or hold it all in your arms?
If I had a song to sing, I'd sing it to you
as long as you live, lullaby or maybe a plain serenade
wouldn't you laugh, dance, and cry or be afraid at the change you made
I may not have the world to give to you
But maybe I have a tune or two
Only if you let me be your world
Could I ever give this world to you
But I will give what love I have to give,
I will give what love I have to give,
I will give what love I have to give, long as I live.
If I had a star to give, I'd give it to you
long as you live, would you have the time
to watch it shine, watch it shine
or ask for the moon and heaven too? I'd give it to you.
Well maybe I've got no star to spare, or anything fine or even rare,
only if you let me be your world, could I ever give this world to you.
could I ever give this world to you.
THE MONKEES lyrics - Love Is Only Sleeping
She looked at me
And the emptiness in her eyes was cruel to see
Then she turned away and said,
"Once I loved, but love is dead"
And I whispered, "Sometimes love is only sleeping"
She said, "I cannot cry
And I cannot give or feel or even try"
And her voice was hard and cold
Then her sweet young face looked old
And I whispered, "Sometimes love is only sleeping"
Through the endless days and nights
Could not help but wrap herself in sorrow (sorrow)
Through the endless days and nights
She waited for a shiny new tomorrow
Love was sleeping, sleeping
She looked at me
And her smiling tears were warm and sweet and free
And the moonlight kissed her eyes
As it mingled with our sighs
And she whispered, "Sometimes love is only sleeping"
And she whispered, "Sometimes love is only sleeping"
Only sleeping...

YES lyrics - Agree To Agree
(Anderson/Squire)
Don't imagine any way, so any fool can take away the drugs and the
pressure
Asking for the level where a world devides its answers
To the gang lords of evil life, they can't show you how
Look upon this life as just a picture you are painting
There is a reason for this being
Look upon this place as just a part of all that is
It is a spiritual part of being
Live within the power, you can be the strength it is
Walk among the living, you can be the strength it is
To give, to live, this hope, comes through,
It takes the trust to agree this agreement
Live for the breaking free
Live for the breaking freedom
Just let it come through come through
CHER lyrics - For What It's Worth
There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware
I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
What a field-day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side
It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away
We better stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, now, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
PAUL MCCARTNEY lyrics - Write Away
You need love, write a letter, you need love write away
Get it down, you'll feel better, send it now, write away
Hey Cinderella, did you need that other fella?
On the wrong side of midnight your defences slipped away
You need attention, so I think it's worth a mention
That if I can deliver
Well there wouldn't be no heavy price to pay
You need love, write a letter, you need love write away
Get it down, you'll feel better, send it now, write away
You need love, write a letter
You need love write away
If you need to feel better, do it now, now, now write away
THE BEATLES lyrics - My Bonnie
(Traditional, arranged by Tony Sheridan)
My Bonnie lies over the ocean
My Bonnie lies over the sea
My Bonnie lies over the ocean
Oh bring back my Bonnie to me
My Bonnie lies over the ocean
My Bonnie lies over the sea
Well my Bonnie lies over the ocean
Yeah bring back my Bonnie to me
Yeah bring back, ah bring back
Oh bring back my Bonnie to me to me
Oh bring back, oh bring back
Oh bring back my Bonnie to me
Well my Bonnie lies over the ocean
My Bonnie lies over the sea
Yeah my Bonnie lies over the ocean
Oh I said bring back my Bonnie to me
Yeah bring back, ah bring back
Oh bring back my Bonnie to me to me
Oh bring back, ah bring back
Oh bring back my Bonnie to me

ELLA FITZGERALD lyrics - I Could Write A Book
A B C D E F G
I never learned to spell,
At least not well.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
I never learned to count,
A great amount.
But my busy mind is burning to use what learning I've got,
I won't waste any time,
I'll strike while the iron is hot.
If they asked me, I could write a book
About the way you walk, and whisper, and look.
I could write a preface
On how we met
So the world would never forget.
And the simple secret of the plot
Is just to tell them that I love you a lot.
And the world discovers
As my book ends,
How to make two lovers
Of friends.
[Instrumental]
And the simple secret of the plot
Is just to tell them that I love you a lot.
And the world discovers
As my book ends,
How to make two lovers
Of friends.
VAN MORRISON lyrics - So Complicated
So complicated, so complicated
Just wanna blow my horn
So complicated, so complicated
Just wanna know the score
Are you telling me that everything's fine
When I can't even tie my shoes
Better get into a new frame of mind
When I don't have to think about the business no more
`Cause I just wanna blow my horn
The telephone is ringing out
But it don't understand my blues
And how much longer will it take
Until they get the news
The weather man said it was good
He forecast it was truly great
So if you change your train of thought
You know it won't be late
Too complicated, too complicated
You know this crazy scene
Too complicated, too complicated
No one says what they mean
Are you telling me that everything's fine
When I can't even tie my shoes
Better get into a new frame of mind
When I don't have to think about the business no more
`Cause I just wanna blow my horn.

ANTHRAX lyrics - I'm Eighteen
[Originally by Alice Cooper]
Lines form on my face and hands
Lines form from the ups and downs
I'm in the middle without any plans
I'm a boy and I'm a man
I'm eighteen and I don't know what I want
Eighteen, I just don't know what I want
Eighteen, I got to get away
I got to get out of this place
I'll go runnin' in outer space!
I've got a baby's brain and an old man's heart
Took eighteen years to get this far
Don't always know what I'm talking about
Feels like I'm living in the middle of doubt
'Cause I'm eighteen, I get confused ev'ry day
Eighteen, I just don't know what to say
Eighteen, I've got to get away
Lines form on my face and my hands
Lines form from the left and right
I'm in the middle, the middle of life
I'm a boy and I'm a man
I'm eighteen and I like it

SEALS & CROFTS lyrics - Windflowers
Windflowers, my father told me not to go near them, he feared them always,
Said they carried him away.
Windflowers, I couldn't wait to touch them, to smell them, I held them closely.
Now I cannot break away.
Their sweet bouquet disappears like a vapor in the desert. Take a warning, son.
Windflowers, their beauty captures every young dreamer who lingers near them.
Ancient windflowers, I love you.
MICHAEL JACKSON lyrics - Too Young
(S. Lippman / S. Dee)
They try to tell us we're too young
Too young to reaaly be in love
They say that love's a word
A word we've only heard
But can't begin to know the meaning of
And yet we're not too young to know
This love will last though years may go
And then someday they may recall
We were not to young at fall
THREE DOG NIGHT lyrics - Your Song
(E. John & B. Taupin)
It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live
If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you
And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on
So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

RICK SPRINGFIELD lyrics - Hooky Jo
(Springfield)
Hooky high hooky Jo
I need you so
Hooky bye hooky go
Where I don't know
Looky high looky low
Where can you be
Hooky high hooky Jo
I need your company
And my sergeant said
The war is over son
It doesn't really matter
That the north has won.
So I packed my bags
And I gave back my gun
I turned and headed home
With the fighting done
Hooky high hooky Jo
I need you so
Hooky by hooky go
Where I don't know
Looky high looky low
Where can you be
Hooky high hooky Jo
I need your company
Hooky Jo and me
We planned to make a start
But the war came between us
And we fell apart
Now this old gray coat is getting mighty thin
But I'll keep on looking for her
Till we meet again
Hooky high hooky Jo
I need you so
Hooky by hooky go
Where I don't know
Looky high looky low
Where can you be
Hooky high hooky Jo
I need your company
LORETTA LYNN lyrics - Another Man Loved Me Last Night
(Peggy Sue Wells - A. Allen)
He doesn't know that I can't look him in the eyes
For that I can't speak or I'll start tellin' lies
I hope he thinks that I'm just moody and quiet but another man loved me last night
Yes another man loved me last night I'd almost forgotten what love was really like
But I'm only human only a woman I let another man love me last night
[ steel ]
While he's sleepin' well I'm crying here awake
Not being loved was more than I could take
So it was wrong there in his arms it seemed so right
When another man loved me last night
Yes another man loved me...

LENNY WOLF lyrics - Macht Licht In Eurem Dunklen Haus
Der Wecker klingelt wieder mal
Ein neuer Tag beginnt
Kein Lust jetzt aufzustehn
Der Arger kommt bestimmt
HektiK, Stress und Aggressionen
Kommen auf mich zu
Frage mich wofur das alles
Weshalb ich es tu
Frage mich wofur
[Chorus:]
Kommt doch endlich aus euch raus
Macht licht in eurem dunklen Haus
Leere Augen kalte Blicke
Kreuzen meinen Weg
Vielen is es ganz egal
Wie's den andern geht
Mein Glaube an die Menschlicheit
Schwindet immer mehr
Kalte, Frust und Einsamkeit
Macht es mir so schwer
WARREN ZEVON lyrics - Sacrificial Lambs
(Warren Zevon and Larry Klein)
We're having a party
We're burning it down
We're building an idol
He's sad but he don't frown
He's the cream of the crop
So we're making him god
Start writing this down
When I give you the nod
Them Coptic monks
Knew how to keep it real
That Rosicrucian thing
That Zoroastrian deal
Well, they might be wrong
They don't give a damn
Long as they don't run out
Of sacrificial lambs
Eat my dust
And I'll clean your clock
Eat my dust
And we'll reel and rock
Eat my dust
And I'll be your man
You can be my
Sacrificial lamb
Madame Blavansky
And her friends
Changed lead into gold
And back again
Krishnamurti said,
"I'll set you free
Write a check
and make it out to me"
Take a look
At my family tree
Every brother and sister
Wants something for free
You get what pay for
From me, my friend
Nothing for nothing
Forever, amen
Eat my dust
You can touch my stole
Eat my dust
And we'll rock and roll
Eat my dust
And I'll be your man
You can be my
Sacrificial lamb
Smokey and the Bandit
And Saddam Hussein
Were staying up late
And acting insane
Along with Russell Crowe
And Hafez Assad
Start taking this down
When I give you the nod
The boys are all ready
They've laid out the plans
They're setting the stage
For the man-made man
We've worked out the kinks
In your DNA
So sayonara, kid
Have a nice day
Eat my dust
And I'll clean your clock
Eat my dust
And we'll reel and rock
Eat my dust
And I'll be your man
You can be my
Sacrificial lamb
GREEN DAY lyrics - Working Class Hero
[Originally by John Lennon]
As soon as your born they make you feel small
By giving you no time instead of it all
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
Working Class Hero is something to be
Working Class Hero is something to be
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
They hate you if you're clever and despise a fool
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules
Working Class Hero is something to be
Working Class Hero is something to be
When they've tortured and scared you for 20 odd years
Then they expect you to pick a career
When you can't really function you're so full of fear
Working Class Hero is something to be
Working Class Hero is something to be
Keep you doped with religon, sex and T. V.
And you think you're so clever and classless and free
But you're still fucking peasents as far as I can see
Working Class Hero is something to be
Working Class Hero is something to be
There's room at the top I'm telling you still
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
If you want to be like the folks on the hill
Working Class Hero is something to be
Yes, A Working Class Hero is something to be
If you want to be a hero well just follow me
If you want to be a hero well just follow me
LENNY KRAVITZ lyrics - Calling All Angels
Calling all angels
I need you near to the ground
I miss you dearly
Can you hear me on your cloud?
All of my life
I've been waiting for someone to love
All of my life
I've been waiting for something to love
Calling all angels
I need you near to the ground
I have been kneeling
And praying to hear a sound
All of my life
I've been waiting for someone to love
All of my life
I've been waiting for something to love
All of my life
I've been waiting for someone to love
All of my life
I've been waiting for something to love
Day by day
Through the years
Make my way
Day by day
Through the years
Day by day
Through the years
Day by day
Through the years
Day by day
Make my way
Day by day
Through the years
Day by day
Day by day

DEE CLARK lyrics - Raindrops
(Dee Clark)
The raindrops, so many raindrops
It feels like rai-aindrops
Falling from my eye-eyes
Falling from my eyes
Since my love has left me
I'm so all alone
I would bring her back to me
But I don't know where she's go-o-o-ne
I don't know where she's gone
There must be a cloud in my hea-ea-ea-ead
Rain keeps falling from my eye-eyes
Oh no they can't be teardrops
For a man ain't supposed to cry
So it must be rai-aindrops, so many raindrops
It feels like raindrops
Falling from my eye-eyes
Falling from my eyes
Oh, there must be a cloud in my hea-ea-ea-ead
Rain keeps falling from my eye-eyes
Oh no they can't be teardrops
For a man ain't supposed to cry
So it must be rai-aindrops, so many raindrops
It feels like raindrops
Falling from my eye-eyes
Falling from my eyes
It keeps on fallin'
Fallin' from my eyes
[Fade]
It keeps on fallin' from my eyes
MOTORHEAD lyrics - Stay Clean
I can tell, seen before,
I know the way, I know the law,
Can't believe, can't obey,
Can't agree with all the things I hear you say,
Oh no, don't ask me why,
I can't go on with all these filthy white lies, Stay Clean
Don't you know, all the time,
You got yours and you know that I've got mine,
Grab a hold, don't let go,
Don't let them rob you of the only thing you know,
Oh no, no-one else,
Got the right to make you sorry for yourself, Stay Clean
So you see, the only proof,
Of what you are is in the way you see the truth,
Don't be scared, live to win,
Although they're always gonna tell you it's a sin,
In the end, you're on your own,
And there is no-one that can stop you being alone, Stay Clean.

JIMMY BUFFETT lyrics - Back To The Island
Now the day is done
And I sit alone and think of you girl
What would I do without you in my life
Wonderin' if you love me or
just playing a fool of me.
Well I hope you understand
I just had to go back to the island
And watch the sun go down
Listen to the sea roll in
I'll be thinkin' of you
And how it might've been
Listen to the nightbird cry
Watch the sun set die
Well I hope you understand
I just had to go back to the island
Threaded in my heart
Tears are falling down
I know down in my soul
I'm really gonna miss you
Caan't end this way
For all the games we've played.
So I hope you understand
I just had to go back to the island
And watch the sun go down
Listen to the sea roll in
I'll be thinkin' of you
And how it might've been
Listen to the nightbird cry
Watch the sun set die
Well I hope you understand
I just had to go back to the island
And watch the sun go down
Listen to the sea roll in
I'll be thinkin' of you
And how it might've been
Listen to the nightbird cry
Watch the sun set die
Well I hope you understand
I just had to go back to the island
I hope you understand
I just had to go back to the island
JOHNNY CASH lyrics - Spiritual
Jesus
I don't wanna die alone
Jesus oh Jesus
I don't wanna die alone
My love wasn't true
Now all I have is you
Jesus oh Jesus
I don't wanna die alone
Jesus
If you hear my last breath
Don't leave me here
Left to die a lonely death
I know I have sinned but Lord I'm
suffering
Jesus Oh Jesus
If you hear my last breath
Jesus
I don't wanna die alone
Jesus oh Jesus
I don't wanna die alone
My love wasn't true
Now all I have is you
Jesus Oh Jesus
I don't wanna die alone
Jesus
Jesus
All my troubles
All My pain
Will leave me
Once again
All my troubles
All my pain
Will leave me once again
All my troubles
All my pain
Will leave me once again Once again
ANTHRAX lyrics - Black Lodge
Worship the ground you barely walk on
You give of yourself but your angels are gone
Deny your body is screaming
But your heart and your soul they're bleeding
Just to fall asleep is a godsend
Until your demons appear again
I am a witness to your demise
Your biggest secret is one you can't keep
Lift up your head if you're only asleep
You try to hold onto reason
Why can't you see that you're leaving
My love for you knows no distance
But it can't fight your resistance
I am a witness to your demise
I am the one who saw through the lies
Give me,
The one thing you can't give
Take me to
The black lodge where you live
Deny your body is screaming
But your heart and your soul they're bleeding
Just to fall alseep is a godsend
Until your demons appear again
I am a witness to your demise
I am the one who saw through the lies
My love has always been blind

BEE GEES lyrics - Give Me A Smile
Ah.......
It's not the way you say to me, I'll wave goodbye
It's not the search to try to say the tears you'll cry
Because I am crying too for the thought of leaving you
You have to give me a smile as leave you treasure
Do it in style and believe in yourself
'Cause while I'm away I will stay firm beside you
And then I will go with the thought that you tried not to break
You mean heaven to me and when I return to thee
we'll see our own love
You may not know but I do miss you earnestly
Of all the moments in our time, there's none like this
And ev'ry day when our lips met, there's none so bliss
For when I say sweet c'est la vie,
I laugh and leave with tears on me
You better give me a smile as I leave you Heather,
Treasure yourself and find time for no else
For while I'm away I will stay firm beside you
And then I will leave with the thought that you tried not to cry
Ah.....
THE CLASH lyrics - Police On My Back
(Eddy Grant)
Well I'm running police on my back
I've been hiding police on my back
There was a shooting police on my back
And the victim well he wont come back
What have I done?
I been running monday tuesday wednesday
Thursday friday saturday sunday runnin
monday tuesday wednesday thursday friday
Saturday sunday
Yes, I'm running down the railway track
Could you help me? Police on my back
They will catch me if I dare drop back
Wont you give me all the speed I lack
DOLLY PARTON lyrics - Old Flames (Can't Hold A Candle To You)
(Pebe Sebert/Hugh Moffatt)
Downtown tonight, I saw an old friend, someone who
I use to take comfort from long before I met you
I caught a spark from his eyes of forgotten desire
With a word, or a touch, I could have rekindled that fire
Old flames can't hold a candle to you
No one can light up the night like you do
Flickering embers of love
I've known one or two
But old flames can't hold a candle to you
Sometimes at night, I think of old lovers I've known
I remember how holding them helped me not feel so alone
Then I feel you beside me and even their memories are gone
Like stars in the night lost in the sweet light of dawn
Old flames can't hold a candle to you
No one can light up the night like you do
Flickering embers of love
I've known one or two
But old flames can't hold a candle to you
Old flames can't hold a candle to you
Mmmm...

LINDA RONSTADT lyrics - I'm Leavin' It All Up To You
(D. Terry Jr. & G. Harris)
I'm leaving it all up, up to you
You decide what you're gonna do
Now do you want my love
Or are we through
That's why I'm leaving it up to you
You decide what you're gonna do
Now do you want my love
Or are we through
Here's my heart in my hand
And I, I don't understand
What did I, what have I done wrong
You know I worship the ground you walk on
That's why I'm leaving it up to you
You decide what you're gonna do
Now do you want my love
Or are we through
OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN lyrics - Fine Line
(B. Gibb/G. Bitzer)
Now I like the way you move
Anyway that you make it work
And you offer something new
And the doorway is open for me
Now a man needs a woman
And I know that for me is true
And life, we got too much reality
There's gotta be other things to do
Me electrify you
Simply mystify you
Very strange but nice
Now somebody wrong
And somebody right
And somebody else
It's either one thing or the other
It's a fine line between talking and giving
It's a fine line between dancing and making love
It's a fine line
I can see the possibility
Anyway that you wanna be
We all got secret emotions
Anytime after the midnight hour
Now love, don't get short on the action
Anyway, you got the energy
My heart is a part of the plans you made
You're the star of my sexual fantasy
Me electrify you
Simply mystify you
Hope you stay all night
I'll have you for dinner or breakfast in bed
Either way I get you
For the worse or for the better
It's wild, it's weird, it's what we think about
This ain't no strip club, shame on you, 'cos
You know somebody that
Got a bead on what you need
Don't sacrifice your love
You analyze, don't minimize
What only you can rise above now
I know that, don't you think
I know you're watching me
You got no claim to make
Well, that's no excuse
And I know the truth
You got brain-drain
Long as there's a game to play
Sad but there's only one fool to blame
You don't think my love should tie you down
I say love can turn your groove around
Watch me please you
Watch me play your game
Someday love will make your water flow
THREE DOG NIGHT lyrics - Eli's Coming
(L. Nyro)
Eli's comin'
Eli's comin' (Eli's a-comin')
Well you better hide your heart, your loving heart
Eli's a-comin' and the cards say... a broken heart
Eli's comin', hide your heart, girl

Girl, Eli's a-comin', you better hide

You better, better hide your heart

Walk but you'll never get away
No, you'll never get away from the burnin' a-heartache
I walked to Apollo by the bay
Everywhere I go though, Eli's a-comin' (she walked but she never got away)
Eli's a-comin' (she walked but she never got away)
Eli's a-comin' and he's comin' to git ya (she walked but... she walked

Girl, Eli's comin', hide your heart, girl (hide it)
You better, better hide your heart

Walk but you'll never get away
No, you'll never get away from the burnin' a-heartache
I walked to Apollo by the bay
Everywhere I go though, Eli's a-comin' (she walked but she'll never get

Eli's a-comin' (she walked but she'll never get away)
Eli's a-comin' and he's comin' to git ya (she walked but... she walked

Get down on your knees (she walked but she'll never get away)
Get down on your knees
No-no, no-no

THE EAGLES lyrics - Bitter Creek
Once I was young and so unsure
I'd try any ill to find the cure
An old man told me
Tryin' to scold me
"Oh, son, don't wade to deep in Bitter Creek,"
(Bitter Creek)
Out where the desert meets the sky
Is where I go when I wanna hide
Oh, peyote (oh, peyote, mm)
She tried to show me
(tried to show me)
You know there ain't no cause to weep
at Bitter Creek
(Bitter Creek)
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
We're gonna hit the road for one last time
We can walk right in and steal 'em blind
All that money (All that money, ooh..)
No more runnin' (No more runnin')
I can't wait to see the old man's face
When I win the race
(Bitter Creek)
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo,
Doo doo doo doo doo
Doo.........

CELINE DION lyrics - Declaration Of Love
Come on, yeah
You are my knight in armor
The hero of my heart
When you smile at me I see
A true world go up
The river is getting deep, believe it
You're all these arms of mine wanna hold
All wrapped up with a river
Baby, I'm giving you this heart of gold
So listen up, it's you I trust
I feel magic every time that we touch
I pledge allegiance to the heavens above
Tonight to you baby I make my declaration of love
(Hey of love)
Just like Juliette belonged to Romeo
You can stay prepared that I won't be letting you go
In the heat of the night
So right you taste my sweetness on your lips
I'll make it better than you ever dreamed
And the rest of your life will be just like this
(Baby) So listen up, it's you I trust
I feel magic every time that we touch

Tonight to you baby I make my declaration of love

I pledge allegiance to the heavens above
I swear to you baby
So listen up, it's you I trust
(Ooh) I pledge allegiance to the heavens above

BRIAN WILSON lyrics - Meant For You
As I sit and close my eyes
There's peace in my mind
And I'm hoping that you'll find it too
And these feelings in my heart
I know are meant for you
Meant for you

JOAN BAEZ lyrics - The Cherry Tree Carol
(Traditional)
When Joseph was an old man, an old man was he
He married Virgin Mary, the Queen of Galilee
He married Virgin Mary, the Queen of Galilee
Joseph and Mary walked through an orchard green
There were cherries and berries, as thick as might be seen
There were cherries and berries, as thick as might be seen
Mary said to Joseph, so meek and so mild:
Joseph, gather me some cherries, for I am with child
Joseph, gather me some cherries, for I am with child
Then Joseph flew in anger, in anger flew he
Let the father of the baby gather cherries for thee!
Let the father of the baby gather cherries for thee!
Then up spoke baby Jesus, from in Mary's womb:
Bend down the tallest branches, that my mother might have some
Bend down the tallest branches, that my mother might have some
And bend down the tallest branches, it touched Mary's hand
Cried she: Oh look thou Joseph, I have cherries by command
Oh look thou Joseph, I have cherries by command
ERIC CLAPTON lyrics - Got You On My Mind
(Joe Thomas and Howard Biggs)
I've got you on my mind, I'm feeling kind of sad and low.
Got you on my mind, feeling kind of sad and low.
I'm wondering where you are, wondering why you had to go.
[Chorus:]
Tears begin to fall every time I hear your name.
Tears begin to fall every time I hear your name.
But since you went away, nothing seems to be the same.
No matter how I try,
My heart just don't see why
I can't forget you.
If ever it should be
You want to come back to me,
You know I'd let you.
[Repeat First Verse]
[Chorus]
[Repeat First Verse]
I'm wondering where you are, wondering why you had to go.
I'm wondering where you are, wondering why you had to go.
MODERN TALKING lyrics - You're My Heart, You're My Soul
Deep in my heart, there's a fire a burning heart
Deep in my heart, there's desire for a start
I'm dying in emotion
It's my world in fantasy
I'm living in my, living in my dreams
You're my heart, you're my soul
I keep it shining everywhere I go
You're my heart, you're my soul
I'll be holding you forever, stay with you together
You're my heart, you're my soul
Yeah, a feeling that our love will grow
You're my heart, you're my soul
That's the only thing I really know
Let's close the door and believe my burning heart
Feeling all right, come on, open up your heart
I'll keep the candles burning
Let your body melt in mine
I'm living in my, living in my dreams

Gonna give you all of me
As much as you can stand
Make love to you right now
That's all I want to do
I know you need it, girl, and you know
I need it, too
'Cause I found what the world is searching for
Here, right here, my dear
I don't have to look no more
And, oh, my babe
I hoped and I prayed for someone
Just like you to make me feel the way you do
Never, never gonna give you up
I'm never, ever gonna stop
Not the way I feel about you
Girl, I just can't live without you
I'm never ever gonna quit,
'Cause quitin' just ain't my schtick
I'm gonna stay right here with you
Do all the things you want me to
Whatever you want, girl, you got it
And whatever you need
I don't want to see you without it
You've given me much more than words could ever say
And oh, my dear, I'll be right here until my dying day
I don't know just how to say all the things I feel
I just know that I love you so and it gives me such a thrill
'Cause I found what this world is searching for
Here, right here, my dear
I don't have to look no more
And all of my days I hoped and I prayed
For someone just like you
To make me feel the way you do
I never, never gonna give you up
I'm never, ever gonna stop
Stop the way I feel about you
Girl I just can't live without you
I'm never ever gonna quit
'Cause quitin' just ain't my schtick
I'm gonna stay right here with you
Do all the things you want me to
Oh I never gonna give you up
I'm never, ever gonna stop
All the things I feel about you girl
I just can't live without you
I'm never ever gonna quit
'Cause quitin' just ain't my schtick
I'm gonna stay right here with you
Do all the things you want me to
JACKSON 5 / THE JACKSONS lyrics - Strength Of One Man
There's a system we all must follow
If we wanna get ahead
Some men are strong enough to make it
And others are just too afraid
But mama told me a story
And it keeps, keeps me alive
Said some are weak, the weak fall by the wayside
And all the strong the strong survive
Now you tell me...
How strong is the strength of a man
Can he stay on his road, and carry his load
Can he carry his load
Can he carry his load
Can he carry his load
Can he carry his load
We have picked people, and say they're on our side
And after they did everything they want (y'all)
They start to tell us lie, just lie after lie
But we can't blame our problems
On just that chose few
Caues if we wann solve then
It's up to me and up to you
Now you tell me...
How strong is the strength of a man
Can he stay on his road, and carry his load
Can he carry his load
Can he carry his load
Can he carry his load
Can he carry his load
Is he strong enough, because the road is tough
Strong enough, because the road is tough
Strong enough, because the road is tough
Strong enough, because the road is tough
Strong enough, because the road is tough
Strong enough, because the road is tough
Strong enough, because the road is tough
Strong enough, because the road is tough
Strong enough, because the road is tough
Strong enough, because the road is tough
Strong enough, because the road is tough
Strong enough, because the road is tough
Strong enough, because the road is tough

JOY DIVISION lyrics - Dead Souls
Someone take these dreams away,
That point me to another day,
A duel of personalities,
That stretch all true realities.
That keep calling me,
They keep calling me,
Keep on calling me,
They keep calling me.
Where figures from the past stand tall,
And mocking voices ring the halls.
Imperialistic house of prayer,
Conquistadors who took their share.
That keep calling me,
They keep calling me,
Keep on calling me,
They keep calling me...
VINCE GILL lyrics - The Reason Why
Why do I choose the things I choose
Why do I always find some lame excuse
And why do I not realize what I could do
Oh, I wish I knew the reason why
Why do you get that sad look on your face
And why do you pull away from my embrace
And why do you see all my faults and my mistakes
Oh, I wish you knew the reason why
Why do we treat each other like we do
It's like we never even tried
Why can't we get back to the love we knew
Oh why oh baby why
Why do we have to play the same old games
And why do we run away from who's to blame
And can't we see to lose this love would be a shame
Oh, I wish we knew the reason why
Oh, I wish we knew the reason why
DARYL HALL AND JOHN OATES lyrics - Gino (The Manager)
(Daryl Hall/John Oates)
You've got Sicilian imagination
Second generation
And a long way from the family crime
But you've got your own way
Sign on the line, sign on the line, on the line
You're a patent leather lover
With you're Gucci-Pucci pointed shoes
And you're swearing on your mother
That "all this could be yours"
Sign on the line, sign on the line, on the line
Remember hard work means something
Live fast, die laughing
No hurt in asking
Nothing for nothing
Gino no no no no no no no no no no
No no no no no no no no no no no
No no no no no no no no no no no no!
You've got Contractual Agitation
Transcendental meditation works fine
But now you're paying off the Guru
Get to Heaven "on time"
Sign on the line, sign on the line, on the line
Remember hard work means something
Live fast, die laughing
No hurt in asking
Nothing for nothing
You couldn't live without little Gino, no
That's what he tells me, little Gino, no
You couldn't live without little Gino, no
That's what he tells me, little Gino, no no
GOLDEN EARRING lyrics - The Vanilla Queen
(G. Kooymans/B. Hay)
Fascinating lady, snowflake in the sun
You make me feel so bourgeois
Oh, you've captured everyone
I hear you've been a dancer
At some famous Paris show
And million dollar lovers
Neatly saw you to your door
Nineteen fifty seven,
Sweetheart of the year
Secret of your beauty,
Was your moontan and your fear
And now you run this city
You're still honey to the flies
Attract the incrowd dandies
Faraway-look in their eyesYou're the bright, nocturnal Vanilla Queen
Your mask is sterile dignity
Tell me why, nocturnal Vanilla Queen
You haunt me, even in my dreamsIt couldn't be avoided
We were bound to meet
I knew you would drag me down
And toss me off my feet
Sweet moments of desire
Sweet moments of relief
You blew down my fences
You're natural make-believe
You're the bright, nocturnal Vanilla Queen
Your mask is sterile dignity
Tell me why, nocturnal Vanilla Queen
You haunt me, even in my dreams

LED ZEPPELIN lyrics - Celebration Day
Her face is cracked from smiling, all the fears that she's been hiding,
And it seems pretty soon everybody's gonna know.
And her voice is sore from shouting, cheering winners who are losing,
And she worries if their days are few and soon they'll have to go.
[Chorus]
My, my, my, I'm so happy, I'm gonna join the band,
We are gonna dance and sing in celebration, We are in the promised land.
She hears them talk of new ways to protect the home she lives in,
Then she wonders what it's all about when they break down the door.
Her name is Brown or White or Black, you know her very well,
You hear her cries of mercy as the winners toll the bell.
[Chorus]
There is a train that leaves the station heading for your destination,
But the price you pay to nowhere has increased a dollar more.
Yes, it has!
And if you walk you're gonna get there though it takes a little longer,
And when you see it in the distance you will wring your hands and moan.
JIMMY BUFFETT lyrics - Funky Kingston
Hey hey hey hey hey
I want you to believe every word I say
I want you to believe every thing I do
I said music is what I've got baby
And I've got to find some way to make it
Music is what I've got baby
I want you to come on and shake it
Shake it, shake it baby
Oh yeah
Funky funky funky
Funky Kingston is what I've got for you, oh yeah
Funky Kingston, yeah is what I've got for you
Funky Kingston
Watch me now, you watch me now
Played from east to west yeah
I just played from north to south, yeah
All across America people keep on asking me for Funky Kingston
But I ain't got none
Somebody take it away from me
You got to go and fetch one
Funky Kingston
THE HOLLIES lyrics - Please Don't Feel Too Bad
(Ransford)
[Chorus:]
Please don't feel too bad because I'm leaving
I'm coming home again to you
And when I go away I know you're grieving
Although you know that I'll be true
I'm wondering what to do to make you know you're mine
I'll take you in my arms and then all will be fine
And when I'm away from you you know I'll miss you
I want to feel your tender touch
And when I'm feeling blue I want to kiss you
I stay away from you too much
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
Whoa whoa yeah too much
Yeah yeah yeah too much
Whoa whoa whoa too much
ERIC CLAPTON lyrics - My Very Good Friend The Milkman
(Harold Spina and Johnny Burke)
My very good friend the milkman says
That I've been losing to much sleep
He doesn't like the hours I keep
And he suggests that you should marry me
My very good friend the mailman says
That it would make his burden less
If we both had the same address
And he suggests that you should marry me.
Then there's a very friendly fellow who prints
All the latest real estate news
And every day he sends me blueprints
Of cottages with country views
My very good friends the neighbours say
That they've been watching little things I do
And they perceive that I love you
So I suggest that you should marry me.
