REBA MCENTIRE lyrics - The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire)

(Mel Torme/Robert Wells)



Chestnuts roasting on an open fire

Jack Frost nipping at your nose

Yuletide carols being sung by the choir

Folks dressed up like?



Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe

Helps to make the season bright

Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow

Will find it hard to sleep tonight



They know that Santa Claus is on his way

He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh

And every mother's child is gonna spy

To see if reindeer really know how to fly

And so I'm offering this simple phrase

To kids from 1 to 92

Although it's been said many times many ways

Merry Christmas to you



Oh, and so I'm offering this simple phrase

To kids from 1 to 92

And although it's been said many times many ways

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to you



[Whispers:] Merry Christmas

JEFFERSON AIRPLANE lyrics - Good Shepherd

If you want to get to heaven

Over on the other shore

Stay out of the way of the blood-stained bandit

Oh good shepherd

Feed my sheep

One for Paul

One for Silas

One for to make my heart rejoice

Can't you hear my lambs acallin

Oh good shepherd

Feed my sheep

If you want to get to heaven

Over on the other shore

Stay out of the way of the long-tongue liar

Oh good shepherd

Feed my sheep

If you want to get to heaven

Over on the other shore

Stay out of the way of the gun shot devil

Oh good shepherd

Feed my sheep

MICHAEL BOLTON lyrics - Southern Ballad

Sit down darling

Something I need to say

I know it's gonna hurt you

But we can't go on this way

I can't bear the pain I'm going through

I can't feel the tears you cry

But I swear if this means losing you

That a part of me will die



How can I tell you

What this heart of mine would say

When everything I feel for you

Has turned my head away

I never meant to hurt you

Even though I don't know why

But I swear if this means losing you

That a part of me will die



And I could not stop loving you

I couldn't do that if I tried

When I told you all you meant to me

It was true, I never lied

Lord knows you've done everything

To keep me satisfied

But I swear if this means losing you

That a part of me will die



Oh I swear if this means losing you

That a part of me will die

I swear if this means losing you

That a part of me will die

Baby I know if this means losing you

That a part of me will die, oh oh

GENESIS lyrics - Down And Out

(Tony Banks/Phil Collins/Mike Rutherford)



Its good to be here! How've you been?

Check my bags boy! Where's my room?

Gotta sit on the phone, that's my game,

Keep up the pressure all the way!



I don't want to beat about the bush

but none of us are getting any younger.

There's people out there who could take your place.

A more commercial view! A fresher face!



I need a shower, take a nap

I'll meet you in the bar, must have a rap.

There's a lot on the line, a lot to say.

And there's something I must tell you today.



You and I both knew the score,

you can't go on like this for ever.

So its with regret I tell you now

that from this moment on,

you're on your own!



I don't talk round corners, right between the eyes.

If you're slow they'll run past you,

Stand tall, see them falling over.

I walk a straight line, right between the eyes.

But just show me the door, show me someone who'll do it better.



The drinks are on me, be my guest.

Smoke a cigar? Take the best.

Don't hedge your bets, we can make a deal,

Got it in your pocket, how do you feel?



So glad that's over, now you know.

But I'm only acting under orders.

And looking down on you from way up here.

You've gotta sink or swim, get off the floor!



I don't talk round corners, right between the eyes.

If you're slow they'll run past you.

Stand tall, see them falling over.

I walk a straight line, right between the eyes.

But just show me the door, show me someone who'll do it better.

AEROSMITH lyrics - Baby, Please Don't Go

(Big Joe Williams)



Baby please don't go

Baby please don't go

Baby please don't go down to New Orleans

You know I love you so

Before I be your dog

Before I be your dog

Before I be your dog

I get you way'd out here and let you walk alone



Turn your lamp down low

Turn your lamp down low

Turn your lamp down low

I beg you all night long baby please don't go



You brought me way down here

You brought me way down here

You brought me way down here

'Bout to Rolling Forks you treat me like a dog



Baby please don't go

Baby please don't go

Baby please don't go back the New Orleans

I beg you all night long



Before I be your dog

Before I be your dog

Before I be your dog

I get you way'd out here and let you walk alone



You know your man down gone

You know your man down gone

You know your man down gone

To the country farm with all the shackles on

MARIANNE FAITHFULL lyrics - Don't Forget Me

In the wintertime

Keep your feet warm,

Keep your clothes on

And don't forget me.

Keep the memory,

But keep your powder dry, too.



In the summer

By the pool side

While the fireflies

Are all around me,

I'll miss you when I'm lonely,

I'll miss the alimony, too.



Don't forget me, please don't forget me,

Make it easy on me just for a little while.

You know I'll think about you,

Let me know you think about me, too.



When we're older

And full of cancer

It doesn't matter now,

Come on, get happy,

'cause nothing lasts forever,

And I will always love you.



Don't forget me, please don't forget me,

Make it easy on me just for a little while.

You know I'll think about you,

Let me know you think about me, too.



You know I'll think about you,

Let me know you think about me, too.

CHRIS REA lyrics - Heaven

I see a turning wheel

On a dusty track

Caught in the void and empty space

In between there and back

And the paradise of going somewhere

That's still so far away

Happy, boy you bet I am

Holding on to this smile for just as long as I can



Heaven



It's all bright in front

And it's all dark behind

Livin' for the now that's in between the bridges and the signs

And getting there is still a long long way to go

While the others dream and wish

This is everything I officially need to know

Happy, boy you bet I am

Holding on to this smile for just as long as I can



Heaven

THE WHO lyrics - Too Much Of Anything

I think these hands have felt a lot,

I don't know, what have I touched,

I think these eyes have seen a lot,

I don't know, maybe they've seen too much.



I think this brain has thought a lot,

Searching, trying to find the crutch,

I think this heart has bled once too often,

This time it's bled a bit too much.



Too much of anything, too much for me,

Too much of everything gets too much for me.



I can't remember before '49,

But I know that '48 was there,

My ears let in what I should speak out,

Hmmm, there's something in the air.



Ooh, I've overloaded on my way,

Bye, bye, bye, bye, you better keep in touch.

Think your ears hear a whole lot of music,

And like me they've caught a bit too much.



Too much of anything, is too much for me,

Too much of everything gets too much for me.



I think these hands have felt a lot,

I don't know, what have I touched,

I think these eyes have seen a lot,

I don't know, maybe they've seen too much.



I think this brain has thought a lot,

Oh, searching, trying to find the crutch,

I think these ears hear a whole lot of music,

And like me they've heard a bit too much.



Too much of anything, is too much for me,

Too much of everything gets too much for me.

NANCI GRIFFITH lyrics - Battlefield

(Nick Lowe & Paul Carrack)



I live on a battlefield

Surrounded by the ruins of a love we built

And then destroyed between us, the smoke has cleared

As I stumble through the rubble, I'm dazed and seein' double

And I'm truly mystified



[Chorus:]

My new home is a shell-hole

Filled with tears and muddy water

And bits of broken heart

All around there is desolation

And scenes of devastation

Of a love being torn apart

I live on a battlefield

I live on a battlefield



I live on a battlefield

The one where not one single drop of

Blood has spilled

Is no less horrifying sweet memories

Of a bygone situation

Now shattered, lord and battered

Lies scattered all around



My new home is a shelly hole

Filled with tears and muddy water

Yes, and the bits of broken heart

All around, there is desolation

And scenes of devastation

Of a love being torn apart

I live on a battlefield

I live on a battlefield

I live on a battlefield



Everything that can and has gone wrong

(I live on a battlefield)

It's gonna take spine to carry on

(I live on a battlefield)

Like a drownin' man comin' up for air

(I live on a battlefield)

I'm looking for another survivor

But I can't see one anywhere



[Chorus]



My new home

(My home is filled with muddy water)

All around

(All around, there's bits of broken heart)

My world

(My world)

Is one of desolation and scenes of devastation

There is no consolation, for a love been torn apart



I live on a battlefield

I live on a battlefield, battlefield

I live on a battlefield

(My home is filled with muddy water)

I live on a battlefield, battlefield

I live on a battlefield

(All around, there's bits of broken heart)

I live on a battlefield, battlefield

I live on a battlefield

(My home is filled with muddy water)

THE RAMONES lyrics - Too Tough To Die

I am a tu tu tu tu tough tough guy

I tell no tales I do no lie



I am a tu tu tu tu tough tough guy

Halo round my head to tough to die



Main attraction in a freak side show

Down in the basement where the cobwebs grow

On my last leg just gettin' by

Halo round my read too tough to die



Rainy days rain cool wine

I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine

Hot sweat on my face

I feel like goin' out someplace



Up late light my chocolate sweet

Down at the gym where the muscle boys meet

I am very nice guy very sincere

In real good shape I have no fear



At the concert when the band comes on

I am in the ring where I belong

On my last leg just gettin' by

Halo round my head too tough to die

SHELBY LYNNE lyrics - Trust Me

I've been wanting to talk to you

Got some questions on my mind

I feel like you have gone away

Can't find you



I wonder where your head has been

Just want to be near you again

Feel like you are hiding from me

Gotta find you



Babe let go of all your troubles

Let me hold you like no other

I'm your daddy

I'm your mother

Trust me



Forget the past we are the future

Together we're the perfect picture

I'm your cover

I'm your lover

Trust me



Forever since you let me touch you

Did you forget how much I love you

Don't you know how bad I want you

Remember



Take a step back in my eyes

When we took up each other's time

With you in me I feel alive

You're my everything



Babe let go of all your troubles

Let me hold you like no other

I'm your daddy

I'm your mother

Trust me



Forget the past we are the future

Together we're the perfect picture

I'm your cover

I'm your lover

Trust me

CHRIS REA lyrics - Touche D'Amour

Touche D'amour

Yours is a sunny day

Of this I'm sure

Blowing my clouds away



I just don't know what this could do to me

I only want it to be

Touche D'amour

Touche D'amour

Sailing around the room like never before

Could never have come too soon

I want this dance to last forever

For it to last forever more

Touche D'amour

CELINE DION lyrics - La Voix Du Bon Dieu

(Eddy Marnay)



[Good God's Voice]



Les mots pour consoler les mots pour l'amitie

Ils sont encore plus beaux quand on peut les chanter

C'est un filtre magique

Ce don de la musique

C'est comme un grand cadeau

Que le ciel nous a fait



(Words to comfort words for friendship

They're even more beautiful when we can sing them

It's a magic filter

That talent for the music

Is like a big gift

That sky made to us)



On a tous un peu la voix du bon dieu

Quand on rend les gens heureux

On a le coeur loin du chagrin

Quand on a chante bien



(We all have a little good god's voice

When we make people happy

We have our heart far from sorrow

When we sing well)



Cette melodie prise dans la vie

Avec un sourire ou deux

Des qu'elle nous touche

On entend mieux la voix du bon dieu



(That melody taken in the life

With a smile or two

As soon as it touches us

We better hear good god's voice)



Je n'aurais jamais cru

Que tant de gens perdus

Se cherchent des amis connus ou inconnus

Moi de toutes les forces que l'avenir me donne

Je veux leur apporter une chanson de plus



(I would never have believed

That so many lost people

Are looking for known and unknown friends

Me with all the strenght that future gives me

I want to give them another song)



On a tous un peu la voix du bon dieu

Quand on rend les gens heureux

On a le coeur loin du chagrin

Quand on a chante



(We all have a little good god's voice

When we make people happy

We have our heart far from sorrow

When we sing)



On a tous un peu la voix du bon dieu

Quand on rend les gens heureux

On a le coeur loin du chagrin

Quand on a chante bien



(We all have a little good god's voice

When we make people happy

We have our heart far from sorrow

When we sing well)



Cette melodie prise dans la vie

Avec un sourire ou deux

Des qu'elle nous touche

On entend mieux la voix du bon dieu



(That melody taken in the life

With a smile or two

As soon as it touches us

We better hear good god's voice)

THE BYRDS lyrics - The Girl With No Name

(Hillman)



One day she came along, I didn't know her name

My friends said to me watch out for the game

I didn't want to believe all the things they said

It seemed to be the right time a love afffair instead



Walkin' down the beach, kickin' up the sand

Not so far away wonderin' where they'll land

We talked of things to do and places that we'd tame

A one with a love to share with a girl who had no name

Who had no name



Then it came the time they said when all the good went bad

She walked into the night, it didn't make me sad

I felt my friends' advice echo through my soul

A one with a love to share with a girl who had no name

Who had no name

GENESIS lyrics - Behind The Lines

(Tony Banks/Phil Collins/Mike Rutherford)



I held the book so tightly in my hands,

I saw your picture, heard you call my name

There was something strange, I could not look away

I wanted to be there, I wanted to go



You gave me no warning

You gave no reason

But I was with you

Right by your side

Just give me the strength, and I will help you

And they can try their hardest, cos they don't frighten me



It is written in the book



It is hotter than I've known before, but I feel so cold, and I don't know why

But if the fire within your heart can beat the storm

Then I really believe, you could make it right



Ooh the time has come now

We must show our feelings

But I'm looking right through you

And your heart is empty



Whatever happened to you it's too late to change now

There's nowhere you can run to, no place to hide

Ah you let me down!



...but wait a minute, I don't understand

It's getting stronger, so grab my hand

Don't wanna leave you, don't wanna go

But I'm losing all control

Can't you see me? I'm slipping away

I can only stay if you've the will to keep me here



It is written in the book



Oh so many times since I've read those words

Just waiting to see you, can you see me?

ZZ TOP lyrics - Down Brownie

When I woke up this mornin'

Had a smile run across my face.

My baby from town just had to get down,

Come and drag me all over the place.



Gonta drive on a flatbed trailer truck

Down on highway fifty-nine.

I had the blues and my baby, she knew

She's holdin' little piece of mind.



Down brownie,

My brownie downtown,

Down brownie.



Got my share and I'm a black hand cottonfield

Just to try and keep myself alive.

Eatin' red beans and rice with the right sauce, it's nice

Or anything you wanna try.



Now I'm hitchin' a ride back from brownie's,

I'm kind of sad but I feel alright.

The cold night it stings but I got me some wings,

I'll be flyin' into houston tonight.

SARAH BRIGHTMAN lyrics - By Now

I look in your eyes

And I see a little bit of heaven in view

I face your disguise and

I See you running too

A teardrop of silence

That's dissipating in an ocean of blue

So let me dive under

In memory of you



By now it's loving and affection

By now it's love

By now it's loving and affection, baby

By now it's love



And will you still see me

When I am lying under heavenly skies

And will you still feel me

When I reach out to you

And when it's all over

Just let me dive into the

Pools of your eyes

And then I'll float timeless

Into a part of you



By now it's loving and affection

By now it's love

By now it's loving and affection, baby...

BARBRA STREISAND lyrics - Queen Bee

[Performed by Barbra Streisand]



Will you welcome please: The Oreo's



The black, black widow is sittin' in the middle of the web,

It's the fly she seeks.

You may be her lover but you never will recover,

'cause she ain't had a bite for weeks.

You think you're the same, 'cause you got the same name,

But the widow has a mobile home.

Remember what I told you, she got eight arms to hold you,

And she's never gonna let you roam

She'll tuck you into bed, truck on your head,

Then she'll wrap you as a midnight snack.

So if you see a spider, don't you sidle up beside her

Why'd you think the widow's wearin' black?

Queen bee, baby

Pray that you may be left on your own, uh huh

Nothin' she'll give you, gonna outlive you

But the queen bee's never gonna be alone

Long before Atlantis there has been a praying mantis

And you know why he's on his knees

He may have religion but he's just a sittin' pigeon

If a woman even starts to tease.

He won't even quibble if she has a little nibble on his neck,

What a way to go.

And now you done and torn it!

You been messin' with a hornet, she's a blue-blooded wasp, you know.

And just as you do it, she'll inject you with a fluid

That you ain't even got but none.

You're the meat on the plate, not even first rate,

She's gonna feed you to her seventh son.

Just like the Queen bee, baby

Pray that you may be left on your own, uh huh

Nothin' she'll give you, gonna outlive you

But the queen bee's never gonna be alone.

So, in conclusion, it's an optical illusion, if you think that we're the

weaker race.

Men got the muscle, but the ladies got the hustle, and the truth is starin'

in your face.

The mother bear stalks, and the queen of the hawks,

Is the one who brings home the bread.

The lion that is regal, and the bold headed eagle,

need a woman just to keep them fed.

But come the evenin', we're like Adam and his Eve,

Inside the garden hear the serpents sound?

It's so frustratin', when you're really into matin',

and there ain't a lovin' man around.

Whoever wrote this story, throw out the glory

Bring in the men (give me them and I'll swing)

Write me a sequel, give me an equal

And I'll give that man

I said I'm gonna give that lovin' man

I said I'm gonna give that lovin' man,

I'm gonna give him that lovin' sting! Zap!

GREEN DAY lyrics - Nice Guys Finish Last

Nice guys finish last.

You're running out of gas.

Your sympathy will get you left behind.

Sometimes you're at your best, when you look the worst.

Do you feel washed up, like piss going down the drain



Pressure cooker pick my brain and tell me I'm insane.

I'm so fucking happy I could cry.

Every joke can have its truth and now the joke's on you.

I never knew you were such a funny guy.



Oh nice guys finish last, when you are the outcast.

Don't pat yourself on the back, you might break your spine.



Living on command.

You're shaking lots of hands.

Kissing up and bleeding all your trust, taking what you need.

Bit the hand that feeds.

You kill your memory

TOM WAITS lyrics - Had Me A Girl

Well I had me a girl in LA

I knew she couldn't stay

Had me a girl in San Diego

One day she just had to go

And I had me a girl Tallahassee

Boy what a foxy lassie

(chorus)

And my doctor says I'll be alright

But I'm feelin' blue

And my doctor says I'll be alright

And my doctor says I'll be alright

And my doctor says I'll be alright

But I'm feelin blue

And my doctor says I'll be alright

And my doctor says I'll be alright

And my doctor says I'll be alright

And I had me a girl in Mississippi

Oh she sure was kippy

Had me a girl in England

She done split for the mainland

And I had me a girl in New York

She up and pulled my cork

(repeat chorus)

Then I had me a girl in North Dakota

She was just fillin' her quota

Then I had me a girl in Chula Vista

I was in love with her sister

Then I had me a girl in

(repeat Chorus)

Then I had me a girl in France

Just wanted to get in my pants

had me a girl in Toledo

Boy she sure was neato

Then I had me a girl in North Carolina

She's still on my mind

(repeat chorus)

REBA MCENTIRE lyrics - It's Another Silent Night

(K. Bell/T. Skinner)



Silence is golden

When the one that you're holding

Means more then love words can say

But what I don't hear

>From you makes me fear

That our love is slipping away



The quiet's so loud

It fills up the house

With words that can't be set free

So who'll break the curse

And say the first word

Well I don't know

We're not talking you see



It's another silent night

It's a cold war of who's wrong or right

Nobody's winning this unspoken fight

It's another silent night



If we could just talk

And tear down the wall

That stands there between our hearts

We could put back together

Our love for each other

Before it all falls apart



It's another silent night

It's a cold war of who's wrong or right

Nobody's winning this unspoken fight

It's another silent night



It's another silent night

It's a cold war of who's wrong or right

Nobody's winning this unspoken fight

It's another silent night

RAY CHARLES lyrics - It Never Entered My Mind

Once I laughed when I heard you saying

That I'd be playing solitaire

Uneasy in my easy chair

It never entered my mind

And once you told me I was mistaken

That I'd awaken with the sun

And ordered orange juice for one

It never entered my mind

You had what I lack, myself

Now I even have to scratch my back myself

Once you warned me that if you scorned me

I'd say a lonely prayer again

And wish that you were there again

To get into my hair again

It never entered my mind

Once you warned me that if you scorned me

I'd say a lonely prayer again

And wish that you were there again

To get into my hair again

It never entered my mind

ANITA BAKER lyrics - Mystery

(Rod Temperton)



Turning back the hands of time

Holding on to misty memories

Chasing shadows through the night

Trying to find my happy ending



Reaching out for another chance at heaven

We could still find a way if we try



[Chorus:]

Baby, believe in the mystery

Like it used to be

We were more than lonely drifters in the dark

I can remember the sun inside

Love held us tight

I need to feel your magic in my heart

Instead of it tearing apart



Diamonds shining in the night

Lying soft and warm together

Only images survive

Can't my dreams go on forever



Oh there's still time to lock away your sadness

Let the secrets of love start to smile



[Chorus:]

Baby, believe in the mystery

Like it used to be

Baby bring back all the passion to my heart

I can remember the tender days, all the love we made

Can't you see in me your magic here tonight



Lonely spirits seem to whisper in the wind

It's a silent song that's never meant to be

Since the dawn of time the mystery never ends

We could find forever if we let love rise again



Tell me why can't we reach for another chance at heaven

We can still find the way if you try



[Chorus:]

Baby, believe in the mystery

Like it used to be

Baby bring back all the passion to my heart

I can remember the tender days, all the love we made

I need to feel your magic here tonight



Baby, believe in the mystery

Like it used to be

More than lonely drifters in the dark



We were so much more

Sun inside... sun inside

Love held us tight

Need to feel you, baby

ANN WILSON lyrics - Isolation

(John Lennon)



[Originally by John Lennon]



People say we got it made don't they know we're so afraid

We're afraid to be alone, everbody got to have a home

Isolation



Just a boy and a little girl

Trying to change the whole wide world

Isolation



All the world is a little town

Everybody trying to put us down

Isolation



I don't expect you to understand

After you caused so much pain

But the again you're not to blame

Your just a human, a victim of the insane



We're afrain of everyone, afraid of the sun

Isolation



The Sun will never disappear

But the world my not have many years

Isolation

MARILLION lyrics - Cathedral Wall

(Hogarth/Kelly/Mosley/Rothery/Trewavas)



Curl up tight into a ball

Curl my body against the soil

Staring up here

At the cathedral wall

I will sleep tonight

Be a baby

Forget it all

Be a baby

Watch the quiet stones

Massive friend

Cathedral wall

I will sleep tonight



A mother to the living

A mother to the dead

Silent as the moonlight

I come to lay my head

And I won't know you

Anymore



The peckish evening rolls once more

Into the ravenous night

Of hunger pains

That keep our troubled souls awake

We are forbidden to explain



A mother to the living

A mother to the dead

My ghost will drink the moonlight

Magic stones

My heart and bones



And I won't know you

Anymore



She's cold

She knows me

Cathedral wall

She's cold

She shows

I borrow

Keep away

Keep you away my love, my love

And pray I might sleep tonight



The violence of my heartbeat

The violence of the blood

I will sleep with the cathedral

And, one day, you'll give up

And I will love you

But I won't know you

Anymore



My frenzied and exhausted mind

Will somehow find a way

To leave you for a time

Condemned to lieing

And lying awake





[These chains are all your own...]

DOLLY PARTON lyrics - Daddy Won't Be Home Anymore

(Dolly Parton)



As I look around the little house we were so happy in

I think of all the happy times we'll never see again

Then I break down and start to cry, the children ask what for

I can't find a way to tell them that Daddy won't be home anymore

Each night before they go to sleep they fold their little hands

And say a prayer for Daddy fighting in their far-off land

So tonight I'll help them say their prayers like I've always done before

God give me courage to tell them that Daddy won't be home anymore



But honey as for me there'll never be another man

And I'll bring our children up the best way that I can

You died for what you thought was right that much I know for sure

But the children just can't understand why Daddy won't be home anymore



No the children just don't understand why Daddy won't be home anymore

RICKIE LEE JONES lyrics - Young Blood

Take a walk around midnight in the city

Young Blood is hiding there somewhere

If you're looking for something to do

There's always something happening there



Like I & Bragger, we borrowed a coupe to day

Here come Pepe and she's got a friend with a chevrolet

But she ain't running

She's walking a little slow

And she ain't crying-- she's just singing a little low



They say this city will make you dirty

But you look alright

You feel real pretty when he's holding you tight

City will make you mean

But that's just make-up on your face

Love will wash you clean in the night's disgrace



Find a block where your people can find you

Keep a third eye watching behind you

You never know when you're making a memory

They will wish they were here together again, someday

Kids looking for something to get into--

Take a look

Two for the movie show

Three for the back row

Hold on tight!

Remember, you might have looked like cool twelve

But your fuse just felt like dynamite



Take a walk around midnight in the city

Young Blood will find you there, somewhere

And if you're looking for something to do

There's always something happening there

THE PARTRIDGE FAMILY lyrics - Let The Good Times In

(Neil Sedaka and Carole Bayer)



Let the good times in

The leaves of life are falling down around you, girl



Nothin's so bad that it can't be a-changin'

Start rearrangin' life on a shelf

Nothing but sadness and out of the fun

Cause your having none alone by yourself



Look through the tears that's in your eyes, yeah,

Just throw off your troubles and leave them behind



Let the good times in

Let love shine through

You'll see how happy we can be together

Let the good times in

The leaves of life are falling down around you, girl



How does it feel with your feet in the water

Now is the time you want to get wet

What would you think if i told you i loved you?

Would you believe me? What would you do?



Let's ride a dream thats made for two, yeah

And just hop on a rainbow that's waitin' for you



Let the good times in

Let love shine through

You'll see how happy we can be together,

Let the good times in

The leaves of life are falling down around you, girl

CHRIS REA lyrics - Stone

Tangled dream and endless highways

Bang the drum in a foreign land

Sometimes I wonder what I'm chasing

When all I need is the touch of your hand

I've got no fixed abode out of own

Babe it gets so cold

Without your love I'm just a stone

And we all laugh and the jokes get wilder

Staying up, staying out

Drinking till you fade away in to the morning

And the strangest cold eats deeper still

Without you sweet kiss I'm gone forever

Without your touch I've no control

Without your love I'm just a looser

Without your love I'm just a stone

THE ALAN PARSONS PROJECT lyrics - Oh Life (There Must Be More)

Waves roll out

Out to sea

Tasting the saltwater

Tears upon her cheek



Morning breaks

She's not there

Who could ever find her?

Who would eve care?



No one heard

No one came

No angel of mercy

Appears to know her name



Where is hope

When words fail

All the colours running

Inside when life turns pale



In the dick the boats are harboured

Where the water's cold and still

Oh life, she cries, I've lost the will



>From the bridge she sees a lifetime

Oh life, she cries

There must be more...



Tides roll in

Waters rise

Any change of reason

Only clouds her eyes



Arms of grace

She won't feel

All the wounds inside her

That time can never heal



The city lights shine seaward

Swirling in a trance

Her eyes upon the water

Alone in her last dance



>From the docks the boats are leaving

As she cries into the dawn

"Oh life, I'm barely holding on"



And she sees her future falling

Til it finds the ocean floor

Oh life, she cries

There must be more



There must be more



And with the early light

She'll sail into the clear

The winds are all behind her

The hour's almost here



>From the bridge she hears the voices

Turn into a roar

Oh life she cries

there must be more



On the dock her soul is sinking

But her spirit longs to soar

Oh life, she cries

There must be more



There must be more

There must be more

Oh life I'm barely holding on



There must be more

There must be more

Oh life there must be something more

FREE lyrics - Child

(Fraser / Kirke / Kossoff / Rodgers)



Child you're talking of freedom

Painted on your garden wall

It's not there at all

Child you're talking of wisdom

You say wisdom is a golden rule

You ain't no fool

But you don't know who it is

Who calls you name

In the light of the golden moon

You don't know who it is who brought you here

And chained up your heart

So soon



Child you're life is a fairytale

And it's not the same

And the clouds

You're hiding behind

In your misty mind have disappeared

Like a sailor far from the shores of your dreams

And far from the love of your home

Sailor lost on your own misty seas

And the chains on your heart, baby

Might be my love

Might be my love



It's so confusing

And you feel that you're loosing yourself

But, there over the mountain

You thought you'd never have to climb

There's a road

Reaching and stretching

To the corner of your mind

Like a river casts aside the dust

And grows and grows as it flows

The feeling deep inside of you

Must break like a dam

So set you free

So set you free

So set you free

DORO PESCH lyrics - Rare Diamond

My heart is ragin', my love is waitin'

To find somebody like you

The world is changin'.. 'cause nothin' means a thing

But I'm still searchin'..



Searchin' for a rare diamond

I've been lookin' for you

Tryin' to find those deep feelings

So I can share 'em with you



And stolen treasures tear me apart

Every word just breaks my heart

Lookin' for love.. it's so hard to find

And I'm still searchin'..



Searchin' for a rare diamond

I've been lookin' for you

Tryin' to find those deep feelings

So I can share 'em with you



Ahahahahoh I wanna get to you

Ahahahahah I wanna share it with you!



It's hard to believe it..

When I look in your eyes, I realize, yes I know!

It's hard not to feel it..

I can't break these chains.. don't wanna lose it again... oh no!



Searchin' for a rare diamond

I've been lookin' for you!

Tryin' to find those deep feelings

So I can share 'em with you! ohohoh

DION AND THE BELMONTS lyrics - Don't Pity Me

(Pity... pity... pity... ahh... ahh... ooh...)



Pity my arms for losing you

Pity my dreams that won't come true

But don't (don't), don't pity me



Pity my heart that's gonna break (dow, dow, dow)

Pity my kiss that you won't take

But don't (don't), don't pity me



Pity from others I have plenty of

But darlin', from you I want love



Pity the love I'll throw away (dow, dow, dow)

Till you return to me some day

But don't (don't), don't pity me



Pity from others I have plenty of

But darlin', from you I want love



Pity the love I'll throw away (dow, dow, dow)

Till you return to me some day

But don't (don't), don't pity me



(Don't, don't) pity me

[Fade]

(Don't, don't) don't pity me

ANTHRAX lyrics - Bare

Standing on some dotted line

Reacting to the hands of time

A circumstance that I've been fed

Leaving questions in my head



Find the space that was left bare

An empty space I'd gladly share



One must live while one must die



Combined paired up for so many years

Unsure if I really want to shed a tear

Signing off is always so clearly done

A number 2 is now reduced to one



Find the space that was left bare

An empty space I'd gladly share



When your clock is up

And you rest for good

I will cut off my armpiece

Just like we agreed we would



One must live while one must die



While the other argues that

The world ain't fair

But then who ever promised

Anybody equal share

You might as well forget

What you gambled on

'Cause plans never go by the way they're drawn



When your clock is up

And you rest for good

I will cut off my armpiece

Just like we agreed we would



One must live while one must die



I can't say goodbye

It's all I can do to get up every morning

And when all else fails I try

To face myself and everything else

But mostly I wonder why

EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER lyrics - Still... You Turn Me On

(Lake)



Do you want to be an angel,

Do you wanna be an angel

Do you wanna be a star

Do you wanna play some magic

On my guitar

Do you wanna be a poet

Do you wanna be my string

You could be anything



Do you wanna be the lover of another undercover

You could even be the

Man on the moon



Do you wanna be the player

Do you wanna be the string

Let me tell you something

It just don't mean a thing



You see it really doesn't matter

When you're buried in disguise

By the dark glass on your eyes

Though your flesh has crystallised

Still...you turn me on



Do you wanna be the pillow

Where I lay my head

Do you wanna be the feathers

Lying on my bed

Do you wanna be the cover

Of a magazine

Create a scene



Every day a little sadder

A little madder

Someone get me a ladder



Do you wanna be the singer

Do you wanna be the song

Let me tell you something

You just couldn't be more wrong



You see I really have to tell you

That it all gets so intense

From my experience

It just doesn't seem to make sense

Still...you turn me on

MICK JAGGER lyrics - Dancing In The Starlight

I was tossing and a turning

Like as ship out in the storm

And I could not feel the spirit

There was nothing there at all

And I could not dial the number

And I could not make the call



Dancing in the starlight

Dancing in the strangest forms

And I could not feel the spirit

Was a thousand miles off course



Stumbling in the twilight

There was no one there at all

I was groping in the darkness

Seeing dangers in the port

Tortured into silence

My back against the wall



Dancing in the starlight

Swirling in the walls

Just like Venus on the ocean

The figures on the wall



If you don't take risks

If you don't take a chance

You're bound to fall

Oh yeah sugar

You will surely fall



Crying for salvation

There was nothing there at all

I could not dial the number

And I could not make the call



Dancing in the starlight

The figures on the wall

You will surely fall

Dancing in the starlight

You will surely fall

You will surely fall

THE WHO lyrics - Behind Blue Eyes

No one knows what it's like

To be the bad man

To be the sad man

Behind blue eyes



No one knows what it's like

To be hated

To be fated

To telling only lies



But my dreams

They aren't as empty

As my conscience seems to be



I have hours, only lonely

My love is vengeance

That's never free



No one knows what it's like

To feel these feelings

Like I do

And I blame you



No one bites back as hard

On their anger

None of my pain and woe

Can show through



But my dreams

They aren't as empty

As my conscience seems to be



I have hours, only lonely

My love is vengeance

That's never free



When my fist clenches, crack it open

Before I use it and lose my cool

When I smile, tell me some bad news

Before I laugh and act like a fool



If I swallow anything evil

Put your finger down my throat

If I shiver, please give me a blanket

Keep me warm, let me wear your coat



No one knows what it's like

To be the bad man

To be the sad man

Behind blue eyes

ISAAC HAYES lyrics - For The Good Times

(Kris Kristofferson)



Don't look so sad, I know it's over.

But life goes on, and this old world will keep on turning.

Let's just be glad we had some time to spend together.

There's no need to watch the bridges that we're burning.



Lay your head upon my pillow.

Hold your warm and tender body close to mine.

Hear the whisper of the raindrops,

Blowin' soft against the window,

And make believe you love me one more time,

For the good times.



I'll get along; you'll find another,

And I'll be here if you should find you ever need me.

Don't say a word about tommorrow or forever,

There'll be time enough for sadness when you leave me.



Lay your head upon my pillow.

Hold your warm and tender body close to mine.

Hear the whisper of the raindrops,

Blowin' soft against the window,

And make believe you love me one more time,

For the good times.

DORO PESCH lyrics - Fight By Your Side

(D. Pesch / G. Scruggs)



The moon above you

It seems so sad

But that's not the reason

Why I feel so bad

I can't believe you're walking out that door

To go and fight some crazy war



Some politicians

Are born without hearts

They declare new borders

Tear families apart

You came into my life many years ago

I pray to god you'll come back home



I will fight by your side

For peace that lasts forever

And I will scream to all mankind

We're all in this together

I pray every mother's son

Will someday lay down his gun

I will fight by your side

I will fight by your side



Your father died

On the day you were born

Did you ever know

What he was fighting for

They send you far away

where I know the world's on fire

I only have one desire



I will fight by your side

For peace that lasts forever

And I will scream to all mankind

We're all in this together

I pray every mother's son

Will someday lay down his gun

I will fight by your side

I will fight by your side

I will fight by your side

I will fight by your side

JOHN DENVER lyrics - Sticky Summer Weather

Sticky summer weather always pains me. It's like living beneath a blanket, I can't breathe.

The days are like an oven, the nights forever. Nothing to do, not much else to see.

Then again, I can't stand the thought of winter, ain't got a fire, there's nobody to keep me warm.

The night is gray, and my coffee tastes so bitter, my memories go raging like a storm.



Seems like twenty years ago it was springtime, the rain was sweet, the wind was cool and clean.

I had a girl, she was a lady I could talk to, now its almost like she'd never been.

I've been a long time looking for rainbows, trying to find a way to believe in tomorrow.



There was a time I think when I remember dreaming, there was a reason I can't find it now.

As I recall, it almost made my life worth living. It must be hiding like the sun behind the clouds.

I've been a long time looking for rainbows, trying to find a way to believe in tomorrow.



Sticky summer weather always pains me. It's like living beneath a blanket, I can't breathe.

The days are like an oven, the nights forever. Nothing to do, not much else to see.

I'm spending a long time looking for rainbows.

LENNY WOLF lyrics - Steif Wie'n Brett

Wurd ja gern tanzen, doch ich kann es nicht

Bin viel zu schuchtern bei dem vielen Licht

Liebe den Sound, gefallt mir wirklich gut

Wurd's gern versuchen, doch mir fehlt der Mut



Hab es versucht schon wirklich viele mal

Jedesmal dankbar, dass es keiner sah

Du wei't doch genau, ich will nur dich

Doch mochtest du tanzen, frag mich lieber nicht



Chorus:

Steif wie'n Brett

Ist die Wirklichkeit

Sonst ganz nett

Wirst begeistert sein

Steif wie'n Brett

Bin auf ewig dein



Sei mir nicht bos', ich bleib hier lieber stehn

Ich wurd' dich blamieren, du wurdest sofort gehen

Wieder mal breit hab ich's mir vorgenommen

Mit Fussen aus Blei und Beinen aus Beton



Rhythmus im Blut, den hab' ich ganz gewiss

Spatestens dann, wenn ich dich endlich kuss

Ich bleibe bei Dir, lass dich nie im Stich

Doch mochtest du tanzen, frag' mich lieber nicht

DAVID BOWIE lyrics - Width Of A Circle

In the corner of the morning in the past

I would sit and blame the master first and last

All the roads were straight and narrow

And the prayers were small and yellow

And the rumour spread that I was aging fast

Then I ran across a monster who was sleeping by a tree.



And I looked and frowned and the monster was me



Well, I said hello and I said hello

And I asked "Why not?" and I replied "I don't know"

So we asked a simple black bird, who was happy as can be



And he laughed insane and quipped "KAHLIL GIBRAN"

So I cried for all the others till the day was nearly through

For I realized that God's a young man too



So I said "So long" and I waved "Bye-bye"

And I smashed my soul and traded my mind



Got laid by a young bordello

I was vaguely half asleep

For which my reputation swept back home in drag



And the moral of this magic spell

Negotiates my hide

When God did take my logic for a ride

(Riding along)



He swallowed his pride and puckered his lips

And showed me the leather belt round his hips

My knees were shaking my cheeks aflame

He said "You'll never go down to the Gods again"

(Turn around, go back!)



He struck the ground a cavern appeared

And I smelt the burning pit of fear

We crashed a thousand yards below

I said "Do it again, do it again"

(Turn around, go back!)



His nebulous body swayed above

His tongue swollen with devil's love

The snake and I, a venom high

I said "Do it again, do it again"

(Turn around, go back!)



Breathe, breathe, breathe deeply



And I was seething, breathing deeply

Spitting sentry, horned and tailed



Waiting for you

LUTHER VANDROSS lyrics - I Can't Wait No Longer (Let's Do This)

Now I been gone, for sometime baby

But I been thinkin' of you, the whole time through

The thought of your love got me excited

And now that all the waitin' is done

It's time to have some fun my baby



[Chorus:]

Baby I love you so

I wanna love you head to toe

I can't wait, no I can't wait no longer

Come on baby, let's do this

You were my lover and my friend

I wanna love you 'til the end

To the very end, girl

I can't wait, no I can't wait no longer

So come on baby, let's do this, yeah



Now you know I'm - I'm not complicated

I only need you my sweet baby and your love to drive me crazy

Now that I'm back you better get ready

Cause I saved it all for you

I'm gonna love you through and through my baby



[Chorus]



I waited so long to get to this

Come on baby, let's do this, yeah



Ha, ha wait a minute Mr. Vandross

You say you been gone so long you need a dose

But, oh no that coming and going, it's got to go

Check my flow

You say you want this,

Well baby this you besta know

Spinderella ain't ain't new to this

I need my man to be true tho this,

So work it out, lace this if you can

And stay around - you the man

And I need you to be down



[Chorus]

RATT lyrics - Breakout

Tell me what your livin for

Where's your destination

No one said life was an easy ride

Crazy things they fill your dreams

That's the new sensation

Look down deep within you'll see

Things will turn out right



Breakout, turn around

Time to get on up and get your feet on the ground

Breakout,

Take a bite out of life,

Man don't you worry everything will be alright



Sitting in your room at night hiding from tomorrow

Takin chances is your plan, that's your new temptation

Day to day each step you take

Appetite-destruction

You know darkness escapes me,

Just to close your eyes



Breakout, turn around

Time to get on up and get your feet on the ground

Breakout,

Take a bite out of life,

Man don't you worry everything will be alright



Breakout, turn around

Time to wake on up and take a look around

Breakout,

Take a bite out of life,

Man don't you worry everything will be alright



[solo]



Breakout, turn around

Time to get on up and get your feet on the ground

Breakout,

Take a bite out of life,

Man don't you worry everything will be alright

Breakout, turn around

Time to wake on up and take a look around

Breakout,

Take a bite out of life,

Man don't you worry everything will be alright

Breakout, turn around

Time to get on up and get your feet on the ground

Breakout,

Take a bite out of life,

Man don't you worry everything will be alright

QUEEN lyrics - I Want It All

(Queen)



Adventure seeker on an empty street,

Just an alley creeper, light on his feet

A young fighter screaming, with no time for doubt

With the pain and anger can't see a way out,

It ain't much I'm asking, I heard him say,

Gotta find me a future move out of my way,

I want it all, I want it all, I want it all, and I want it now,

I want it all, I want it all, I want it all, and I want it now,



Listen all you people, come gather round

I gotta get me a game plan, gotta shake you to the ground

Just give me what I know is mine,

People do you hear me, just give me the sign,

It ain't much I'm asking, if you want the truth

Here's to the future for the dreams of youth,

I want it all, I want it all, I want it all, and I want it now,

I want it all, I want it all, I want it all, and I want it now,



I'm a man with a one track mind,

So much to do in one life time (people do you hear me)

Not a man for compromise and where's and why's and living lies

So I'm living it all, yes I'm living it all,

And I'm giving it all, and I'm giving it all,

It ain't much I'm asking, if you want the truth,

Here's to the future, hear the cry of youth,

I want it all, I want it all, I want it all, and I want it now,

I want it all, I want it all, I want it all, and I want it now,

etc.

THE BEATLES lyrics - Mr. Moonlight

(Johnson)



Mr. Moonlight

You came to me one summer night

And from your beam you made my dream

And from the world you sent my girl

And from above you sent us love

And now she is mine

I think you're fine

Cos we love you, Mr. Moonlight



Mr. Moonlight, come again please

Here I am on my knees

Begging if you please

And the night you don't come my way

I'll pray and pray more each day

Cos we love you, Mr. Moonlight



And the night you don't come my way

Oh, I'll pray and pray more each day

Cos we love you, Mr. Moonlight

Mr. Moonlight



Mr. Moonlight, come again please

Here I am on my knees

Begging if you please

And the night you don't come my way

I'll pray and pray more each day

Cos we love you, Mr. Moonlight

Mr. Moonlight

Mr. Moonlight

Mr. Moonlight

GOLDEN EARRING lyrics - Twilight Zone

(G. Kooymans)



(somewhere in a lonely hotel room,

There's a guy starting to realize

That eternal fate has turned its back on him,

It's two a. m...........)



It's two a. m., the fear has gone

I'm sittin' here waitin', the gun still warm

Maybe my connection is tired of takin' chances

Yeah there's a storm on the loose, sirens in my head

I'm wrapped up in silence, all circuits are dead

I cannot decode, my whole life spins into a frenzy



Help I'm steppin' into the twilight zone

The place is a madhouse, feels like being cloned

My beacon's been moved under moon and star

Where am I to go, now that I've gone too far

Help I'm steppin' into the twilight zone

The place is a madhouse, feels like being cloned

My beacon's been moved under moon and star

Where am I to go, now that I've gone too far

Soon you will come to know,

When the bullet hits the bone

Soon you will come to know, when the bullet hits the bone



I'm falling down a spiral, destination unknown

A double-crossed messenger, all alone

I can't get no connection, can't get through, where are you

Well the night weighs heavy on his guilty mind

This far from the borderline

And when the hit man comes

He knows damn well he has been cheated



Help I'm steppin' into the twilight zone

The place is a madhouse, feels like being cloned

My beacon's been moved under moon and star

Where am I to go, now that I've gone too far

Help I'm steppin' into the twilight zone

The place is a madhouse, feels like being cloned

My beacon's been moved under moon and star

Where am I to go, now that I've gone too far

Soon you will come to know, when the bullet hits the bone

Soon you will come to know, when the bullet hits the bone

GRAND FUNK RAILROAD lyrics - Carry Me Through

Time has come,

To start my search for tomorrow.

On and on,

There's just no end to the sorrow.

But I designed a way,

To see my life through pity.

I don't have too much to say,

And the tears won't let me be.



So,

CHORUS

Carry me through the hard part.

Help me find a new start.

Carry me through the hard part.



Far too long,

I've thought of all the excuses.

Try to go on,

And stay my time to an end.

Dreams in my head,

All turning dark and useless.

Help me find the hand,

That knows where I've been.



Please,

CHORUS



Ahhhhhh...

Ahhhhhh...



Carry me through...

Carry me through...

Carry me through...

Carry me, carry me, carry me...

KATE BUSH lyrics - Breathing

Outside

Gets inside

Through her skin.

I've been out before

But this time it's much safer in.



Last night in the sky,

Such a bright light.

My radar send me danger

But my instincts tell me to keep



Breathing,

("Out, in, out, in, out, in...")

Breathing,

Breathing my mother in,

Breathing my beloved in,

Breathing,

Breathing her nicotine,

Breathing,

Breathing the fall-out in,

Out in, out in, out in, out in.



We've lost our chance.

We're the first and the last, ooh,

After the blast.

Chips of Plutonium

Are twinkling in every lung.



I love my

Beloved, ooh,

All and everywhere,

Only the fools blew it.

You and me

Knew life itself is



Breathing,

("Out, in, out, in, out...")

Breathing,

Breathing my mother in,

Breathing my beloved in,

Breathing,

Breathing her nicotine,

Breathing,

Breathing the fall-out in,

Out in, out in, out in, out in,

Out in, out in, out in, out...

("Out!")



"In point of fact it is possible to tell the

("Out!")

difference between a small nuclear explosion and

a large one by a very simple method. The calling

card of a nuclear bomb is the blinding flash that

is far more dazzling than any light on earth--brighter

even than the sun itself--and it is by the duration

of this flash that we are able to determine the size

("What are we going to do without?")

of the weapon. After the flash a fireball can be

seen to rise, sucking up under it the debris, dust

and living things around the area of the explosion,

and as this ascends, it soon becomes recognisable

as the familiar "mushroom cloud". As a demonstration

of the flash duration test let's try and count the

number of seconds for the flash emitted by a very

small bomb; then a more substantial, medium-sized

bomb; and finally, one of our very powerful,

"high-yield" bombs



"What are we going to do without?"

Ooh please!

"What are we going to do without?"

Let me breathe!

"What are we going to do without?"

Ooh, Quick!

"We are all going to die without!"

Breathe in deep!

"What are we going to die without?"

Leave me something to breathe!

"We are all going to die without!"

Oh, leave me something to breathe!

"What are we going to do without?"

Oh, God, please leave us something to breathe!"

"We are all going to die without

Oh, life is--Breathing.

THE DOOBIE BROTHERS lyrics - Rainy Day Crossroad Blues

(Tom Johnston)



The sky is fallin' and the ground is reachin' up

The river's goin' by and the water's gettin' high and I feel like givin' up

Standin' in the downpour with these rainy day crossroad blues

Got those woods on my left, city on my right, don't wanna sleep alone tonight again

Hole in my coat, hole in my shoes, sittin' in Mobile singin' the blues about you

Company people call my house most every day

Won't let a body concentrate

Gotta get some peace that way

Waitin' for that water risin', think I'll put my guitar in my boat

'Cause I'm floatin' to the nearest levy just to lay down

In that sand

Just pickin' wild berries, gettin' stung by honey bees

The Lord above and the devil below havin' a fight inside of me

Thinkin' ' bout my gun, maybe that will set me free

'Cause thunder and lightnin' are trapped inside of me

Innocent darlin' why you treat your daddy this way?

The price of the question is a mighty hard price to pay

'Cause you brought these rainy day crossroad blues my way

I can't take it no more

DAVID BYRNE lyrics - Independence Day

[Cumbia]



Now and then I get horny

At night you do

At night you do

Smile - from side to side

At night you do

At night you do



She'll be comin' round the mountain

Six white horses by her side

No stops for gas, food or lodging

She's wearing nothing but a smile

And though we struggle for our freedom

Our need for others still remains

We know what will make us happy

We know what will ease our pain



We'll pretend we are married

At night we do

At night we do

Slide your hand in mine

At night we do

At night we do



My bed is flyin' out the window

I'm pullin' up my covers to the rain

And down below cats are howlin'

It's a family affair



They're selling vegetables on Broadway

A man is runnin' for the train

Strollin' down 42nd Street

On our Independence Day

Rub-A-Dub on 57th Street

On our Independence Day!

Arm in arm on 82nd Street

It's our Independence Day



Hey Mister, Hey Lady

Hey sisters walkin' hand in hand

We'll be lovers in the open

We'll be lovers on Independence Day

Hand in hand, hand in hand

Hand in hand on Independence Day



This compass points in two directions

And North and South are both the same

We'll look forward to the good times

Come our Independence Day



Hey Lady! You make me giggle

We'll squiggle like honeymooners do

I'm struck by lightnin', it's frightnin'

So excitin', on Independence Day



Uncle Vera, Auntie Ida

Get so excited on Independence Day



Been waiting such a long time

Waiting such a long time

Waiting such a long time

Waiting such a long time

Till Independence Day



Waiting such a long time

Waiting such a long time

Waiting such a long time

And now it's here!

Independence Day!



Waiting such a long time

Such a long time

Such a long such a long time

Waiting such a long time

Till Independence Day



Waiting such a long time

Such a long time

Such a long such a long time

And now it's here

Independence Day



Waiting such a long time

Such a long time

Such a long such a long time

Waiting such a long time

Till Independence Day



Waiting such a long time

Such a long time

Such a long such a long time

Now it's here!

STATUS QUO lyrics - Something's Going On In My Head

(Lancaster)



Something you're saying now

Disturbing the way I feel

I don't know what you're about

I only know the way that I feel

I'm holding it here in my mind

So please don't be unkind

Don't talk just let me unwind

'Cos something's going on in my head Yeah, something's going on in my head

And I'm not quite sure what you said



I can see the rain outside

It's falling on everything

It's making such a noise out there

But my ears they don't hear a thing

I'm trying to get it over to you

Just what I want you to do

Don't know what I'm going through

'Cos something's going on in my head

Yeah, something's going on in my head

And I'm not quite sure what you said



Something you're saying now

Disturbing the way I feel

I don't know what you're about

I only know the way I feel

I'm holding it here in my mind

So please don't be unkind

Don't talk just let me unwind

'Cos something's going on in my head Yeah, something's going on in my head

And I'm not quite sure what you said

JOHNNIE RAY lyrics - Please, Mr. Sun

(Words by Sid Frank and Music by Ray Getzov)



Talk to her please, Mr. Sun

Speak to her, Mr. Rainbow

And take her under your branches

Mr. Tree



Whisper to her, Mr. Wind

Sing to her, Mr. Robin

And Mrs Moonlight

Put in a word for me



Tell her how I feel

It shouldn't end this way

And since you are all her friends

She'll listen to whatever you have to say



Babble to her, Mr. Brook

Kiss her for me, Miss Raindrop

And watch to see they all do

Please, Mr. Sun



Babble to her, Mr. Brook

Kiss her for me, Miss Raindrop

And watch to see they all do

Please, Mr. Sun

IGGY POP lyrics - Death Is Certain

Death is the best

Better than all the rest

On the dutifull lies in the rock paradise

Losses and wear and the texture of age

Adds a truth to the heart

And a light to the face

It's good when you don't give as

Much of a fuck

As you did when the threats mount

To make you suck



A burst of rage

A lively cry

Emotions wide

Your death is certain for sure

My death is certain alright

But death is certain no cure

'Cause death is certain

'Cause death is certain so why?

Gotta diiiiiiiiie



A bone and a skull

In a conjugal hell

A mall full of gall

And the music jerks off

Pale and fate

At the table they sat

With their necks choking tight

In their collars dead white

Liquor and food 'till

They spin and explode

In a shower of crap

In America's lap



A pliceman's numb

A lazy bum

Emotions come

'Cause death is certain it's sure

'Cause death is certain it's pure

'Cause death is certain no cure

'Cause death is certain

'Cause death is certain that's why

Gotta die



Alright

Alright

Well, alright

Alright

Alright

Alright

Alright

Alright

Alright



A beast with legs

A kid who's numb

A lazy bum

Your death is certain it's sure

'Cause death is certain it's pure

'Cause death is certain no cure

'Cause death is certain

ZUCCHERO lyrics - Va', Pensiero

(Zucchero / Luisi / Verdi - Vergnaghi)



Va' pensiero sull'ali dorate

Attraversa le montagne e vola

Sugli oceani.

Raggiungi la terra, trova il luogo

Dove vanno tutti i bambini

Ogni notte dopo aver sentito questa ninnananna.



Li troverai i loro eroi vivi

Che proteggono la loro innocenza

Benedicili tutti perche il loro animo semplice

e tanto puro e meraviglioso.



Va' pensiero sull'ali dorate

Fai continuare questo sogno bellissimo

Per tutta la notte.



Presta loro le tue ali dorate

Tutte le paure voleranno via

Prendili per mano

Aiutali a trovare una strada facile

Riportali alla luce, riportali alla luce

Alla quale appartenevano un tempo

Dove possono restare

Bambini per tutto il tempo che vogliono.



Va' pensiero sull'ali dorate

Attraversa le montagne e vola

Sugli oceani.

Raggiungi la terra, trova il luogo

Dove vanno tutti i bambini

Ogni notte dopo aver sentito questa ninnananna.

Ogni notte dopo aver sentito questa ninna nanna.



[English version]

Va'pensiero sull'ali dorate

Cross the mountains and fly

Over the oceans.

Reach the land find the place

Where all children go

Everynight after listening to this lullaby.



There you'll find their heroes alive

Protecting their innocence

Bless them all 'cos their simple soul

is so pure and wonderful.



Va' pensiero sull'ali dorate

Let this beautiful dream carry on

For all night long.



Lend them your golden wings

Every fear will fly away

Take them by the hand

Help'em find an easy way

Lead them back to the light, back to the light

Where they once used to belong

Where they can remain

Children as long as they want.



Va' pensiero sull'ali dorate

Cross the mountains and fly

Over the oceans.

Reach the land find the place

Where all children go

Everynight after listening to this lullaby

Everynight after listening to this lullaby.

ZUCCHERO lyrics - Il Mare Calmo Della Sera

Non so

cosa sia la fedelta,

la ragione del mio canto

che resistere non puo

ad un cosi dolce pianto

che muto l'amore mio.

E se

anche il sorgere del sole

ci trovasse ancora insieme,

per favore dimmi no,

rende stupidi anche i saggi

l'amore, amore mio.

Se dentro l'anima

tu fossi musica,

se il sole fosse dentro te,

se fossi veramente

dentro l'anima mia,

allora si che udir potrei

nel mio silenzio

il mare calmo della sera.

Pero

quell'immagine di te

cosi persa nei miei occhi

mi porto la verita,

ama quello che non ha

l'amore, amore mio.

Se dentro l'anima

tu fossi musica,

se il sole fosse dentro te,

se fossi veramente

dentro l'anima mia,

allora si che udir potrei

il mare calmo della sera,

nel mio silenzio

il mare calmo della sera.

WEIRD AL YANKOVIC lyrics - Close But No Cigar

Jillian was her name

She was sweeter than aspartame

Her kisses reconfigured my DNA

And after that I never was the same



And I loved her even more than

Marlon Brando loved souffle

She was gorgeous, she was charming

Yeah, she was perfect in every way



Except she was always using the word "infer"

When she obviously meant "imply"

And I know that somw guys can put up with that kinda thing

But frankly, I can't imagine why



And I told her, I said "Hey"

Are we playin' horseshoes, honey?

No I don't think we are

You're close (close) but no cigar



Then I met sweet young Janet

Prettiest thing on the planet

Had a body hotter than a Habanero

She had lips like a ripe pomegranate



And I was crazy like Manson about her

She got me all choked up like Mama Cass

She had a smile so incredibly radiant

You had to watch it through a piece of smoked glass



I thought after all these years of searching around

I'd found my soulmate finally

But one day I found out she actually owned a copy

Of Joe Dirt on DVD



Oh no, I said "Hey"

Are we lobbin' hand grenades, kiddo?

No, I don't think we are

You're close (close), aw, so very close (close)

Yeah baby, you're close (close), so close, but no cigar



Aw yeah, aw no, aw yeah, aw no, aw right



Julie played water polo

She wore a ribbon on her left Manolo

She had me sweatin' like Nixon every time she was near

My heart was beatin' like a Buddy Rich solo



And she was everything I've dreamed of

She moved right up to number one on my list

And did I mention she's a world-famous billionaire

Bikini supermodel astrophysicist?



Yeah, she's so pretty she made Charlize Theron

Look like a big, fat, slobberin' pig

The only caveat was one of her earlobes was just

A little tiny bit too big



I said "Hey"

Are we doin' government work here?

No, I don't think we are

You're close (close), so very, very close (close)

Aw baby, you're close (close), so close, but no cigar



Missed it by that much (no cigar)

Aw yeah, aw right (no cigar)

Really, really, really close, but no cigar

GRATEFUL DEAD lyrics - Hard To Handle

Baby here I am and I'm a man upon the scene

I can give you what you want, but you got to come home with me

I got a whole lot of good ole loving and I got some in store

When I get through throwin' it on to you got to come back for more



Boys and things will come by the dozen

Ain't nothin' but drug store love

Pretty little thing let me light your candle

Cause mama I'm sure hard to handle, now yes I am.



Action speaks louder than words and I'm a man with great experience

I know you got another man, but I can love you better than him

Take my hand, don't be afraid I'm gonna prove every word I say

I'm advertising love for free so won't you place your ad with me?



Boys and things will come by the dozen

Ain't nothin' but drug store love

Pretty little thing let me light your candle



Give it to me baby, I got to have it, some of your love

It's all I need, early in the morning, late in the evening.

BRENDA LEE lyrics - Somewhere

(L. Bernstein, S. Sondheim)



There's a place for us

Somewhere a place for us

Peace and quiet and open air

Wait for us somewhere



There's a time for us

Someday, a time for us

Time together with time to spare

Time to learn

Time to care

Someday

Somewhere

We'll find a new way of living

We'll find a new way of giving

Somewhere



There's a place for us

Much time and a place for us

Hold my hand and we're halfway there

Hold my hand and I'll take you there

Someday

Somehow

Somewhere

DAVID BYRNE lyrics - Empire

In national elections

In songs raised on high

With stirring emotions

As tears fill your eyes



In democratic fever

For national defense

I am a mountain [3x]

Like birds upon a fence [2x]



Young artists and writers

Please heed the call

What's good for business

Is good for us all



And as it is in Nature

So it is in life

The weak among us with perish [3x]

The strong alone will survive [2x]



Voices like thunder

Decisions like steel

The past and the future

They belong to us all



From every mountain

The water and the air

The world that we've created [3x]

By working hand in hand [2x]

PETE SEEGER lyrics - How Can I Keep From Singing

My life flows on in endless song

Above earth's lamentations,

I hear the real, though far-off hymn

That hails a new creation.



Through all the tumult and the strife

I hear it's music ringing,

It sounds an echo in my soul.

How can I keep from singing?



While though the tempest loudly roars,

I hear the truth, it liveth.

And though the darkness 'round me close,

Songs in the night it giveth.



No storm can shake my inmost calm,

While to that rock I'm clinging.

Since love is lord of heaven and earth

How can I keep from singing?



When tyrants tremble sick with fear

And hear their death knell ringing,

When friends rejoice both far and near

How can I keep from singing?



In prison cell and dungeon vile

Our thoughts to them are winging,

When friends by shame are undefiled

How can I keep from singing?

PETE SEEGER lyrics - If I Had A Hammer

If I had a hammer,

I'd hammer in the morning

I'd hammer in the evening,

All over this land.



I'd hammer out danger,

I'd hammer out a warning,

I'd hammer out love between my brothers and my sisters,

All over this land.



If I had a bell,

I'd ring it in the morning,

I'd ring it in the evening,

All over this land.



I'd ring out danger,

I'd ring out a warning

I'd ring out love between my brothers and my sisters,

All over this land.



If I had a song,

I'd sing it in the morning,

I'd sing it in the evening,

All over this land.



I'd sing out danger,

I'd sing out a warning

I'd sing out love between my brothers and my sisters,

All over this land.



Well I got a hammer,

And I got a bell,

And I got a song to sing, all over this land.



It's the hammer of Justice,

It's the bell of Freedom,

It's the song about Love between my brothers and my sisters,

All over this land.



It's the hammer of Justice,

It's the bell of Freedom,

It's the song about Love between my brothers and my sisters,

All over this land.

RAY CHARLES lyrics - I've Got Five Dollars

Mister Shylock was stingy

I was miserly too.

I was more selfish

And crabby than a shellfish.

Oh, dear, it's queer

What love can do!

I'd give all my possessions

For you

I've got five dollars

I'm in good conditions

And I've got ambition

That belongs to you.

Six shirts and collars

Debts beyond endurance

On my life insurance

That belongs to you!

I've got a heart

That must be spurtin'!

Just be certain

I'll be true

Take my five dollars!

Take my shirt and collars!

Take my heart and hollers!

"Ev'rything I've got belongs to you!"

I've got five dollars

Eighty-five relations

Two lace combinations

They belongs to you!

Two coats with collars

Ma and Grandma wore'em

All the moths adore 'em

They belongs to you!

I've got two lips

That care for mating

Therefore waiting

Will not do!

Take my five dollars!

Take my shirt and collars!

Take my heart and hollers!

"Ev'rything I've got belongs to you!"

LEO SAYER lyrics - Never Had A Dream Come True

(S. Moy/ S. Wonder/ H. Cosby)



I never, never had

A dream come true

In my every dream

I'm loved by you

And we're free as the wind

And true love is no sin

Therefore men

Men are men and not machines

Doo, doo, doo, doop

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doop

Doo, ooh

Doo, doo, doo, doop

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doop

Doo, ooh

I never, never had

A dream come true

Without you, the world

Is painted shades of blue

It seems my folks are ashamed

They say I ain't

I ain't worth the pain

Oh, but I'm glad

I'm glad I'm chained to my dreams

Doo, doo, doo, doop

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doop

Doo, ooh

Doo, doo, doo, doop

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doop

Doo, ooh

I wish I was free as the wind

And true love was no sin

In a place where men where men

And not machines

And every dream came true

Babe for me and you

Ooh doo, doo,

Doo, doo, doo, doo,

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

RICKIE LEE JONES lyrics - Rainbow Sleeves

(Tom Waits)



You used to dream yourself away each night

To places that you'd never been

On wings made of wishes

That you whispered to yourself

Back when every night the moon and you

Would sweep away to places

That you knew

Where you would never get the blues



Well now, whiskey gives you wings

To carry

Each one of your dreams

And the moon does not belong to you

But I believe

That your heart keeps young dreams

Well, I've been told

To keep from ever growing old

And a heart that has been broken

Will be stronger when it mends



Don't let the blues stop you singing

Darling, you've only got a broken wing

Hey, you just hang on to my rainbow

Hang on to my rainbow

Hang on to my rainbow sleeves
