DEAN MARTIN lyrics - Hark! The Herald Angels Sing
Hark the herald angels sing
Glory to the new born king
Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled
Joyful all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With angelic host proclaim
Christ is born in Bethlehem
Hark the herald angels sing
Glory to the new born king
Hail the heav'n-born prince of peace
Hail the son of rightousness
Light and life to all he brings
Risen with healing in his wings
Mild he lays his glory by
Born that man no more may die
Born to raise the sons of earth
Born to give them second birth
Hark the herald angels sing
Glory to the new born king
Hark the herald angels sing
Glory to the new born king
Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled
Joyful all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With angelic host proclaim
Christ is born in Bethlehem
Hark the herald angels sing
Glory to the new born king
(Glory) Glory to the new born king
With angelic host proclaim
Christ is born in Bethlehem
Hark the herald angels sing
Glory to the new born
Glory to the new born
Glory to the new, born king
WARREN ZEVON lyrics - Piano Fighter
(Warren Zevon)
Mom and Papa bought a Chickering
Every day I'd sit and play that thing
I practiced hard; it was more than a whim
I played with grim determination, Jim
Someone called Piano Fighter
I'm a holy roller, I'm a real lowrider
Hold me tight, honey, hold me tighter
Then let me go, Piano Fighter
I worked in sessions and I played in bands
A thousand casuals and one-night stands
Here on Thursday, gone on Friday
Heading down the Dixie highway
Someone called Piano Fighter
I'm a holy roller, I'm a real lowrider
Hold me tight, honey, hold me tighter
Then let me go, Piano Fighter
Maybe I'll go to Reno
Nobody knows my name
I'll play Claire de Lune in a quiet saloon
Steady work for a change
Ain't going down that long, lonesome road
Ain't going down that long, lonesome road
Got in trouble down in New Orleans
I must admit that I was strung out, painted in the corner of a limousine
Someone called Piano Fighter
I'm a thin ice walker, I'm a freelance writer
Hold me tight, honey, hold me tighter
Then let me go, Piano Fighter
Someone called Piano Fighter
I'm a holy roller, I'm a real lowrider
Hold me tight, honey, hold me tighter
Then let me go, Piano Fighter

LOU REED lyrics - Make Up
Your face when sleeping is sublime
And then you open up your eyes
Then comes pancake factor number one
Eyeliner, rose hips and lip gloss, such fun
You're a slick little girl, you're a slick little girl
Rouge and coloring, incense and ice
Perfume and kisses, oh it's all so nice
You're a slick little girl, you're a slick little girl
Now we're coming out, out of our closets
Out on the streets, yeah, we're coming out
When you're in bed it's so wonderful
It'd be so nice to fall in love
When you get dressed I really get my fill
People say that it's impossible
Gowns lovely made out of lace
And all the things that you do to your face
You're a slick little girl, you're a slick little girl
Eyeliner, whitener then color the eyes
Yellow and green, oh what a surprise
You're a slick little girl, oh, you're such a slick little girl
Now we're coming out, out of our closets
Out on the streets, yes, we're coming out
Yeah, we're coming out...
FRANK SINATRA lyrics - I Never Knew
(Gus Kahn, Ted Fiorito)
[Recorded May 19, 1961, Los Angeles]
I always thought that I'd prefer single-blessed-ness
Thought that I'd like to stay free
I never thought my time would come to marry,
No wedding bells for me, I've changed my mind after all,
You are the one made me fall, for...
I used to smile at all the songs that were popular,
Nothing but love in each song,
I used to think those kind of songs were foolish,
Now I admit I'm wrong.
Love songs are part of my plan, show me the minister man, for...
I never knew I could love anybody,
Honey, like I'm loving you;
I couldn't realize what a pair of eyes and a baby smile could do.
I can't sleep, I can't eat,
I never knew a single soul could be so sweet,
I never knew I could love anybody,
Honey, like I'm loving you.
THE CHURCH lyrics - Terra Nova Cain
Turn down the gravity, this is all too heavy
I'll show you how the ancients once traveled
They used to call this a Chevy
Just before the continents sank, you could still go outside
I was sitting on a hot off ramp
She pulled up and asked me if I needed a ride
Terra Nova Cain, I need you again
Deep space jam on an alien terrain
Terra Nova Cain, I need you again
Some for the little boys who live down the lane
I should have known there was something amiss
She had unearthly eyes
She had a way of sifting through your mind
Like she'd done it to a million guys
She said, "Will you help with our research?"
I said, "Take me to your leader."
She put her foot down on the oscillation pedal
She was a transdimensional speeder
Terra Nova Cain, I need you again
Protect me from the meteor rain
Terra Nova Cain, I need you again
Put your exploratory probe right into my brain
They brought me back after thousands of years
I hadn't aged at all
We used to float around her weightless bedroom
That drove me right up the wall
Terra Nova Cain, I need you again
You dropped me off and you've left me quite drained
Terra Nova Cain, I need you again
Help me break these telekinetic chains
IRENE CARA lyrics - Why Me
Life felt so right
I was drowned in your light
With the world so in tune
'Til you made me out for a fool
Left with nothing to do
Can't forget about you
With my heart in my hands
Pack my bags
Leave my memories with you
You gave me nothing but misery
I found so much more
You used me oh so helplessly
I don't want your sympathy
Why me
Why me
Why me when I was the one
Who could set your heart free
Why me
Why me
Why me
You took all the love
I gave up selfishly
Why me
Trapped in your space
Never thought I could face
Going one step beyond
When I knew deep inside I was strong
Now I know what it takes
Can't repeat the mistakes
When new love comes along
It'll give me what I'll call my own
You gave me nothing but misery
And I gave so much more
You used me oh so helplessly
I don't want your sympathy
Why me
(I tried to set you free)
Why me
(I love you helplessly)
Why me when I was the one
Who could set your heart free
Ooooh, why me
(You stole a part of me)
Why me
(You loved me sinfully)
Why me
You took from the love
I gave up selfishly
[Instrumental Interlude]
Why me
(I tried to set you free)
Why me
(I loved you helplessly)
Why me when I was the one
Who could set your heart free
Ooh-ho, why me
(I loved you totally)
Why me
(Why me, why me, why me)
Oh, why me
(Who loved you totally)
Why me
(Why me, why me, why me)
Why me, ooooh-oh
Keep your sympathy
Why me
(I love a symphony)
(I love you totally)
I love you totally
I love you totally
Why me
(I love a symphony)
Why me
(I loved you totally)
Why me

UFO lyrics - Darker Days
Take me to the highway
Take me to heaven
I can feel Jesus, right in my bones
Looking for a high class up-market doorway
With no connections, no telephones
And I don't care what it's all about
I don't need to know
Walking on water
Walking on the mountain
I've got no whiskey running through my veins
They take me to the justice
And I wave old glory
There's no sentence for all these pains
Cause I don't care what it's all about
I don't need to know
(1)
Darker days surround me now I'm older
Longer nights freeze me it seems colder
Darker days they will take me under now
So help me please
Take me to the river, cleanse me with water
Because the good Lord has baptized me
I can't live like you good people
I'll bare my soul for the world to see
I don't care what it's all about
I don't need to know
Darker days surround me now I'm older
Longer nights freeze me it seems colder
Darker days they will take me under now
I don't think so
I don't know so
I keep falling down like little drops of rain
I don't know you
Tell me what's true
What is real, and what it is you call insane
Take me to the highway
Take me to heaven
I can feel Jesus, right in my bones
Looking for a high class up-market doorway
With no connections, no telephones
And I don't care what it's all about
I don't need to know
Repeat (1)
Oh yeah
Gotta help me please
THE CHURCH lyrics - Lustre
Well we had just begun
When the night came down
Sweating rain on everyone
Anyone who was hanging around
You say there's something strange going on
I cannot see a thing
And pretty soon then we'll be drenched to the bone
And my soul is freezing
And we really should decide
Who's taking who for this
Ride the bandwagon into the ditch
Smile for the many you shocked
Bless my soul and drop a stitch
Strike while the irony is hot
And I don't have much time
There's so much left to take
It'd hard to know what's genuine
And what's a genuine fake
I think there's something weird going on
Something unforeseen
The best impression of a succubus
That I have ever seen
Before we get too fried
Let's get on with the
Ride the ghost train now into the dark
Ride it right into the ground
Up through the suburbs, graveyards and parks
Going around and around
If I never see you again
That will be way too soon
And if I ever get over this
I will be over the moon
I hope that something new comes along
Something more my style
I hope that someone else comes along
And makes it worth my while
And it's lust and sloth and pride
That makes me want to
Ride the roller coaster for all that it's worth
Live it all up to the hilt
If you can't take it with you
Away from this earth
Might as well take it full tilt
Ride the old horse through gold rush town
If that's the kind of company you keep
You're getting very tired and you need to lie down
I'll see you in your sleep
THIN LIZZY lyrics - Killer Without A Cause
He made a big impression
When he walked across the room
And I must make my confession
I might have spoked too soon
He's a killer
Without a cause
The time is right
To settle scores
On the streets he lives again
Down the alley and round the bend
On the beat beneath the light
An angel comes to claim the light
From the streets
This rebel shall rise
His soul shall soar
Through the skies
The same old confrontation
At the bar in the saloon
But it's just another tricky situation
The underworld operation lies in ruins
He's a killer
Without a cause
The time is right
To settle scores

WEIRD AL YANKOVIC lyrics - Kidstar 1250 Radio Promotion
[telephone dialing]
Just eat it, eat it
Get yourself an egg and beat it
Oh, eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Hi
This is Al
But you can call me "Weird", as is "Weird Al"
"Weird Al" Yankovic
I'm not home right now
So feel free to come over and go through my refrigerator
Well, I guess you gotta find my house first
Anyway, like I was saying, I'm not home right now
So stay on the line until I return
OK, well, that might be a while, so I tell you what
I'll patch you through to my favorite radio station, how's that
It'll keep you totally entertained
It's Kidstar 1250, radio just for kids, and it goes something like this

CAROLE KING lyrics - Sunbird
Wind blow
Moon glow
You know the way to be
Touching everything
Going through to the second sea
Starlight
Sunbird
The music inside us all
Touches everyone
Everyone, listen for the call
Sunbird is enough just being
Fulfilled in its own existence
Can't we let it be
Why can't we just be
And let the time of spring to fall not be a distance
Reborn
New dawn
Brings on another day
I'm no older now than yesterday
And I'm on my way

LITA FORD lyrics - Back To The Cave
Oh, let's get back to the cave
No one ever told us we had time to waste
Oh, let's get back to the cave
For a little while, for a little while
Life on the outside, life on the edge
Pushin' all the buttons of love
Drivin' in the wedge
Somebody's takin' from you time and time and time again
Can't believe it's not the way you want it to be
Oh, let's get back to the cave
No one ever told us we had time to waste
Oh, let's get back to the cave
For a little while, for a little while
Somebody lookin' for you
Somewhere you've seen a face
Somehow it leaves you feelin' lost and out of place
Too many wasted nights
And way too many darker days
There's nothin' left to make you burn
And nothin' left to make you wanna stay
I'm lookin' deep inside you, down where you were before
And when I find you, I'll be wild and knockin' down your door
I'll drag you screamin' from this endless and angry scene
You can believe it's just the way you want it to be
Oh, let's get back to the cave
No one ever told us we had time to waste
Oh, let's get back to the cave
For a little while, oh, yeah, for a little while
Oh, let's get back to the cave
For a little while, oh, yeah
Oh, let's get back to the cave
For a little while

PUBLIC IMAGE LIMITED lyrics - Good Things
Little white lies - they hold little surprise
CHORUS
Good things come in threes
The places I haunt - the powers I taunt
And the little I need - I need!
Where the arrogance of presidents - drive with the top down
And pop singers bite bullets - and pops kiss the ground
The most favoured nations - should be atheists
Not the penny pinch manipulators - of the fundamentalists
CHORUS
For everyone spotted - ten get missed
The deeper you look - the longer the list
And the CNN calling card - red herring day, "No news today"
Somebody somewhere indirectly directs them on their way
Stand up a token figure - and twist whatever they say
CHORUS
Pin it on no one - it doesn't matter anyway
How many political despots worked for the USA
And who controls down South America way
and who controls the modern Russian way
Death in the streets, death is a project
All in the weak, the poor, the rich, the racist
and free thought should be looked upon
As an enemy
Because free thought went to jail, long ago
What a pity
The spider's kiss, the White House astrologists
How many political despots worked for the CIA
The spider's kiss, the White House astrologists
Fuck, it's the CIA
CHORUS

PANTERA lyrics - War Nerve
Truly, fuck the world,
For all it's worth,
Every inch of planet Earth,
Fuck myself,
Don't leave me out,
But don't get involved,
Don't corner me
Inside, ulcer,
Unjust bastards,
File out face first
Meet the lies and see what you are
[Pre:]
It's forcing you down, and it's grinding against you
Let the war nerve break
[Chorus:]
For every fucking second the pathetic media pisses on me and
Judges what I am in one paragraph - Look here - Fuck you all
Expect the worse,
You bleeding heart,
But kill me first
Before it starts,
Yes my cock is getting hard,
We are born different after all
Invite mayhem,
Produce weapons,
Shoot out,
Burn down
No CNN or media now
[Pre]
[Chorus]
All the money in the fucking world couldn't buy me one second of trust
Or one ounce of faith in anything you're about
Fuck you all
Nothing is worth the sleep that I've lost
Apologies unacceptable now
A blistered revenge awaits in me
This is fucking loveless
Hate
Hate mail is not read, in jail instead
Hate
The Lord knows,
There's worse
Ignore, this curse
Hate
THE DOOBIE BROTHERS lyrics - For Someone Special
(Tiran Porter)
Well, I thought you'd be back on the track
But I guess I was wrong, man
For the look in your eyes was the same
Empty high that you'd shown
As I ran down the road I'd forgotten this load was upon you
So the band packed its bags and played on, goodbye
It's been years since I cried
But this feeling inside really hurt me
And you know that we're loyal
Through the years of hard toil we stood by
But our licks' gotten better
I thought you could weather the good times
So I guess that it's hard to leave
Bad times and downers behind
So it came down to sayin'
You haven't been playin' for so long
That our heads caked with rust
And the dust of a million sad sighs
In the mornings I've tried
To reach down inside
And push that nightmare away
Now I'm glad that it's over, it's over
Now I can play
PINK FLOYD lyrics - A Great Day For Freedom
On the day the wall came down
They threw the locks onto the ground
And with glasses high we raised a cry for freedom had arrived
On the day the wall came down
The Ship of Fools had finally ran aground
Promises lit up the night light doves in flight
I dreamed you had left my side
No warmth, not even pride remained
And even though you needed me
It was clear that I could not do a thing for you
Not life devalues day by day
As friends and neighbors turn away
And there's a change that, even with regret, cannot be undone
Now frontiers shift like desert sands
While nations wash their bloodied hands
Of loyalty, of history, in shades of grey
I woke to the sound of drums
The music played, the morning sun streamed in
I turned and I looked at you
And all but the bitter residues slipped away...slipped away

REO SPEEDWAGON lyrics - Time For Me To Fly
I've been around for you
I've been up and down for you
But I just can't get any relief
I've swallowed my pride for you
I've lived and lied for you
But you still make me feel like a thief
You got me stealin' your love away
'Cause you never give it
Peeling the years away
And we can't relive it
I make you laugh
And you make me cry
I believe it's time for me to fly
You said we'd work it out
You said that you had no doubt
That deep down we were really in love
Oh, but I'm tired of holding on
To a feeling I know is gone
I do believe that I've had enough
I've had enough of the falseness
Of a worn out relation
Enough of the jealousy
And the intoleration
I make you laugh
And you make me cry
I believe it's time for me to fly
[Refrain:]
Time for me to fly
Oh, I've got to set myself free
Time for me to fly
And that's just how it's got to be
I know it hurts to say goodbye
But it's time for me to fly
Oh, don't you know it's...
[Refrain]
It's time for me to fly
[Repeat to end]
SIMON & GARFUNKEL lyrics - You Can Tell The World
Well you can tell the world about this
You can tell the nation about that
Tell'em what the master has done
Tell'em that the gospel has come
Tell'em that the victory's been won
He brought joy, joy, joy, joy, joy, joy,
Into my heart
Well my Lord spoke, he spoke so well
Yes he did, yes he did
Talked about the flames that burn in hell
Yes he did, yes he did
Now my Lord spoke, he spoke so well
Yes he did, yes he did
Talked about the children of Israel
Yes he did, yes he did
He brought joy, joy, joy into my heart
(repat 1st verse)
Well my Lord spoke, he spoke to me
Yes he did, yes he did
Talkin' about a man from Galilee
Yes he did, yes he did
My Lord spoke, he spoke to me
Yes he did, yes he did
Talkin' about a man from Galilee
Yes he did, yes he did
He brought joy joy, joy into my heart
(repeat 1st verse)
Well I don't know but I've been told
Yes he did, yes he did
Streets of heaven are paved with gold
Yes he did, yes he did
Now the Jordan River is chilly and wide
Yes he did, yes he did
I got a home on the other side
Yes he did, yes he did
He brought joy, joy, joy into my heart
(repeat 1st verse)
BOB SEGER SYSTEM lyrics - Tales Of Lucy Blue
Empty words falling on ears which have never heard
Hollow lies, comin' from lost, hung up and lonely guys
Through the night, make a sight
Other rider looks so true
Sinnin', spinnin', tales of Lucy Blue
Piercing smile filling her face for a little while,
Closin' door, leaving the heart open and wounded more
Gone away, lonely day
Turning gray with no clue
Faking, making, tales of Lucy Blue, oh oh oh
Restless night longing for love beneath the neon light
Desperate hands reachin' for someone who'll understand
Stroll around, through the town
Lost and found, when it's due
Sellin', tellin', tales of Lucy Blue
Yeah Lucy Blue one or two
Just for you hey yeah
Tales of Lucy Blue

VAN MORRISON lyrics - If You Only Knew
If you only knew all the problems
That a man like me has to face.
If you only knew all the silly
Things that keep a man from his place.
I wouldn't want to sing your own song.
Your gonna have to lose a few.
If you only knew.
If you only knew all the dealing
That goes on in back of the store.
If you only knew how that one that's
Got a lot can't wait to get more.
I wouldn't want to cramp your style
But if you want to make it all worthwhile.
You have to have your own breakthrough.
If you only knew.
If you only knew what could happen to
A man for telling the truth.
If you only knew all the scruples
That go down in gin and vermouth.
I wouldn't want to steer you wrong
But if you want to sing your own song.
Your gonna have to lose a few.
If you only knew.
DAVID BOWIE lyrics - China Girl
I could escape this feeling
with my China girl
I feel a wreck
without my little China girl
I hear her heart beating
loud as thunder
Saw they stars crashing
I'm a mess
without my little China girl
Wake up mornings where's my little China girl
I hear her heart's beating
loud as thunder
Saw they stars crashing down
I feel a-tragic
like I'm Marlon Brando
When I look at my china girl
I could pretend that nothing really meant too much
When I look at my China girl
I stumble into town just like a sacred cow
Visions of swasticas in my head
Plans for everyone
It's in the white of my eyes
My little China girl
You shouldn't mess with me
I'll ruin everything you are
I'll give you television
I'll give you eyes of blue
I'll give you man who wants to rule the world
And when I get excited
My little China girl says
Oh baby just you shut your mouth
She says : sh-sh-shhh
SIMPLY RED lyrics - Smile
You make me smile glowing shine
You make me glad to be alive
With love that's easy to survive
The girl that i lost when i was blew
Has confirmed my heart grows stronger
When there's you
Cause you make me smile
You make me smile
True love won't find a better way
Fake love as planets get away
New love won't find a better place to stay
The moment that i loved you always knew
My heart loves longer and stronger when there's you
Cause you make me smile
You make me smile
The color of my blood is truly justified
That was me it was me I never lied
My blood flows trough you
And my heart goes trough you when you cried
It's no good to plot i've never wondered why
Who'd to be who'd to be i'd never tried
It's enough to know you
And to love you baby is my pride
Loving you forever is a must
And for now and my love will never be denied
Cause you make me smile
You make me smile
You make me smile
You make me smile
You make me smile
PULP lyrics - Happy Endings
Well, imagine it's a film and you're the star
And pretty soon we're coming to the part
Where you realise that you should give your heart,
Oh, give your heart to me.
And now the orchestra begins to make a sound,
That goes round & round & round & round & round & round & round & round
& round again
We kiss to violins.
Well some sad people might believe in that I guess.
But we know better don't we?
We know all about the mess.
The aftermath of our affair,
Is lying all around and I can't clear it away.
No.
And d'you think that it's so easy to find?
Somebody who is just your kind?
Well it might take you a little time,
But I'm going to have to try.
Oh yeah I'm gonna try.
And I know no-one can ever know,
Which way to head.
But don't you remember,
That you once said,
That you liked happy endings?
And no-one can ever know,
If it's going to work,
But if you try,
Then you might get your happy ending.

THE KINGSTON TRIO lyrics - New York Girls
(Burl Ives)
Shipmates listen unto me. I'll tell you in my song of things that happened to me when I come home from Hong Kong.
[Chorus:]
To me way, you Santy, my dear Annie. Oh, you New York girls, can't you dance the polka?
As I walked down to Chatham Street, a fair maid I did meet.
She asked me, please, to see her home. She lived on Bleecker Street
Now, if you'll only come with me, you can have a treat.
You can have a glass of brandy and something nice to eat.
[Chorus]
Before we sat down to eat, we had sev'ral drinks.
The liquor was so awful strong, I quickly fell asleep.
[Chorus]
When I awoke next mornin, I had an achin' head.
My gold watch and my pocketbook and the lady friend had fled.
Now dressed in the lady's apron, I wandered most forlorn
'Till Martin Churchill took me in and he sent me round Cape Horn.
[Chorus]
DOLLY PARTON lyrics - Before You Make Up Your Mind
Before you make up your mind to leave me
Before you make up your mind to walk out the door
Before you telle me that it's all over
Let me say what I have to say it won't take me all day
And if you still wanna leave don't stay for I won't try to hold you anymore
Does she really love you way that I love you
Does she treat you right even when you've done wrong
If she's woman enough to forgive you way that I'm willing to
If she ain't then don't go for I still love you so we all make mistakes I know
Give these thoughts a little time before you make up your mind
Does she really love you way that I love you
Will she treat you right even when you do wrong
If she's woman enough to forgive you way that I'm willing to
If she ain't then don't go for I still love you so we all make mistakes I know
Give these thoughts a little time before you make up your mind
Give these thoughts a little time before you make up your mind

BLACK SABBATH lyrics - You Won't Change Me
I'm just a man and I am what I am
Nobody will ever change my ways
I don't need money and I don't need no lies
I only need to live for today
But I'd like to talk things over with you
I want to hear the things you say, today
Although you won't change my anyway, no no way
I wish you'd come and see me, I'd like to hold you
I want to set my mind all free
You understand me woman, you give me time
But I don't need no sympathy
Still I wonder what it's like to be loved
Instead of hiding in myself
Nobody will change me anyway, no no way
Nobody's gonna change my world
That's something too unreal
Nobody will change the way I feel
So listen to me now, hear what I say
Please give me time and maybe love
If there's a God up there, well I hope he helps me
I need him now to set me free
'Cause it may be that it's over for me
If you don't hear the things that I say, today
Nobody will change me anyway, no no way
Nobody's gonna change my world, that's something too unreal
Nobody will change the way I feel
TOO $HORT (TOO SHORT) lyrics - What She Gonna Do?
[Too $hort:]
It's just a little mo' game (ye-yeah ye-yeah)
You might need to learn some (make me say ohh)
Listen and learn (Yeahh-yeahhhhh)
She's all about that get rich
Treat a nigga like the lotto, he's a quick pick
... it's nothin to a boss bitch
What happened to his cash flow? He lost it
She don't give a fuck about none of you guys
She make you look so bad, I bet you want a disguise
I knew the day and time would come
When she went out in the world and had to find her one
He sponsors all her daily, activities
I'm not her pimp, she don't pay me or give me fees
I just laced her with the game, so she could shake those lames
And try to take her change, I told her make yo' name
And turn the tables on 'em, I call her DJ Break-a-Trick
Cause all your money she'll be takin it
Put her on the pedestal, your queen on the throne
And she's still gon' bring the money home
[Chorus: Too $hort]
(Make me say ohh) What she gon' do?
(Ye-yeah ye-yeah) What she gon' do?
(Make me say ohh) What she gon' do?
Players better ask a bitch - bitch whatchu gon' do?
(I'll be the one to come runnin - be the one to come runnin)
(Ohh, home to you.. home to you)
(You're givin me - loooooooooooove, with a nigga like you)
(It's no need to play around, ohhhhhhh)
(You're more than just big pimpin)
(You're blowin my mind with the love that you're givin)
(That's what you'll hear me say, boy every dayyyyyyyy)
I knew she had potential, to be a real player
Get paid up the ass by a millionaire
She ain't tradin sex, like these broke hoes
Her shit is worldwide, these bitches loco
She took the show on the road, for the fun and the thrills
Now it's nothin but hundred dollar bills
She got a lot of G's, spend 'em how you please
All you broke-ass hoes, get up off yo' knees
Don't go to Hoe College if you want some mo' knowledge
Cause bitches graduate and end up with fo' dollars
You can be a hustler, and never be a baller
He tried to bread her up whenever he would call her
But the bitch was too dumb, to ask for a thang
I try to teach 'em when they young, so they don't pass on the game
And when you get your thang on
Remember where you got your game and where you came from
[Chorus]
It's obvious, we don't come from the same world
But you still fell in love with the game girl
Now you're, dedicated since you elevated
And you, you never hated, just celebrated
You can't play with the game, you gotta go get it
It's fire - stop drop and then roll with it
Let a baller finance your brand new car
And if he can't do more, you better kick him out the door pimpin
Tell him how you like diamond rings
So fine, that's why he wanna buy you things
Now you spendin and shoppin, like you playin a sport
Cause you listened to the game that you got from Uncle $hort
I'm proud of you - what you grown to be
Don't tell him nothin - you always belong to me
You can travel the world and get your stack on
Just don't be broke when you come back home
[Chorus to fade]
LEONARD COHEN lyrics - Take This Longing
Many men have loved the bells
you fastened to the rein,
and everyone who wanted you
they found what they will always want again.
Your beauty lost to you yourself
just as it was lost to them.
Oh take this longing from my tongue,
whatever useless things these hands have done.
Let me see your beauty broken down
like you would do for one you love.
Your body like a searchlight
my poverty revealed,
I would like to try your charity
until you cry, "Now you must try my greed."
And everything depends upon
how near you sleep to me
Just take this longing from my tongue
all the lonely things my hands have done.
Let me see your beauty broken down
like you would do for one your love.
Hungry as an archway
through which the troops have passed,
I stand in ruins behind you,
with your winter clothes, your broken sandal straps.
I love to see you naked over there
especially from the back.
Oh take this longing from my tongue,
all the useless things my hands have done,
untie for me your hired blue gown,
like you would do for one that you love.
You're faithful to the better man,
I'm afraid that he left.
So let me judge your love affair
in this very room where I have sentenced
mine to death.
I'll even wear these old laurel leaves
that he's shaken from his head.
Just take this longing from my tongue,
all the useless things my hands have done,
let me see your beauty broken down,
like you would do for one you love.
Like you would do for one you love.
BOB DYLAN lyrics - Tears Of Rage
We carried you in our arms
On Independence Day
And now you'd throw us all aside
And put us on our way
Oh, what dear daughter 'neath the sun
Would treat a father so
To wait upon him hand and foot
And always tell him "No?"
Tears of rage, tears of grief
Why am I the one who must be the thief?
Come to me now, you know
We're so alone
And life is brief.
We pointed out the way to go
And scratched your name in sand
Though you just thought that it was nothing more
Than a place for you to stand
Now I want you to know that while you watched
You discover there was no one true
Must everybody really thought
It was a childish thing to do
Tears of rage, tears of grief
Why am I the one who must be the thief?
Come to me now, you know
We're so alone
And life is brief.
It was all very painless
When you went out to receive
All that false instruction
Which we never could believe
And now the heart is filled with gold
As if it was a purse
But oh, what kind of love is this
Which goes from bad to worse?
Tears of rage, tears of grief
Why am I the one who must be the thief?
Come to me now, you know
We're so alone
And life is brief.

CHRIS REA lyrics - The Things Lovers Should Do
Standing in the half light, wondering if you can
There stands the priest of sinners, consolation in his hands
Though he prays he won't need it, he keeps it by his side
Waiting for the face up and the answer in her eyes
All while the music's playing a backdrop serenade
There's only one point of view
To be doing the things, things that lovers should do
Disco-queens in dancestep, moving face to face
All tangled up in neon don't think it's some disgrace
The blue western denim, the East Coats razor edge
The European fashion, the leathers and re-threads
All while the music's playing a backdrop serenade
There's only one point of view
To be doing the things, things that lovers should do
JUDAS PRIEST lyrics - Peace
Memories unfold
Search the past to times of wonder
Never growing old
Once we have peace
Such peace...
Seasons come and go
Every man's a child to someone
Loving as we grow
Love and you'll live
Forgive...

JOURNEY lyrics - Loved By You
(Cain / Tribble / Hyler)
Every time is like the first time tenderly
Loving you's like breathing spring
Seasons change but your heart beats constantly
Count my blessings every day as you love me
As the sunset disappears across the northern sky
You look for forever in my eyes
All I can say, long as I have a voice
I'll thank God above that I was your first choice
[Chorus:]
If I should die before I wake
I'll go into the night whispering your name
If lying in your arms is the last thing that I do
At least I know that I'll be loved by you
In about a hundred years from now
When all of my love letters are found
And someone reads these words I've written only meant for you
They'll know how forever came true...
[Chorus]
Let the years roll on by
These are the best times of my life
I'll just smile when my days are through
Knowing that I've been loved by you
At least I know that I've been loved by you

BONNIE TYLER lyrics - Whenever You Need Me
(David Yorath, Bonnie Tyler & David Madiran)
Can't wait until I'm in your arms
Your kiss sets me on fire
I've never felt so alive
Come on and take me higher
I don't know what it is that makes
Me feel the way I do
But - you're the one that's always been on my mind
And I'll be there when you want me to
[Chorus:]
Whenever you need me, I'll come running
Whenever you want me, only I will be there
Whenever you need me, for the good times and bad
Anytime, anywhere, I don't care I will be there
I'm the one you're with tonight
This love will never die
Just one touch drives me insane
It makes me want to cry
I'm feeling hot inside and I can't
Control the way I feel
But - I keep you up whenever you are feeling down
And I hope you'll always want me around
Whenever you need me, to be your lover
Whenever you want me, just one call I'll be there
Whenever you need me, I'll be the best you've ever had
Any time, any where, I don't care I will be there
Whatever you want me to
Whenever you
[Chorus 2x]
Whenever you need me, I'll come running
Whenever you want me, only I will be there
Whenever you need me, for the good times and bad
Anytime, anywhere, I don't care I will be there
Whenever you need me, I'll come running
Whenever you want me, only I will be there
Whenever you need me, for the good times and bad
Anytime, anywhere, I don't care I will be there

LITA FORD lyrics - Falling In And Out Of Love
We've changed, a new change of season
Autumn came, we went, I went insane
Never was winter so cold, no
Look away from the homeward road
I'm feeling love in a daydream
Making love first morning light
Walking slowly in the summer rain
Alone I lie, fantasize
I'm falling in and out of love
I'm falling in and out of love
Slip inside my dream
Dream away with me
'Cause I'm falling in and out of love
Like a diamond, never our love would break
But in a heartbeat thrown us both away
Set me free to live my life like a rolling stone
Look away from the homeward road
I'm feeling love in a daydream
Making love first morning light
Walking slowly in the summer rain
Alone I lie, fantasize
Falling in and out of love
I'm falling in and out of love
Slip inside my dream
Dream away with me
'Cause I'm falling in love
Falling in and out of love
I'm falling in and out of love
I'm falling in and out of love
I'm falling in and out of love
Falling in and out of love
I'm falling in and out of love
I'm falling in and out of love
I'm falling in and out of love...
URIAH HEEP lyrics - Sweet Freedom
(Hensley)
As you look around you, do you like what you see?
Though it sometimes makes you lonely, do you like being free?
And are you sure you'll be okay without my company?
I just want you to be happy, even if it's not with me
Sweet, sweet freedom
Sweet, sweet, sweet
Will the line between all this
And my love ever meet
Sweet, sweet freedom
Sweet, sweet, sweet
What I'm really tryin' to say is that I will be around
Should you find that after all you can't get by with what you found
Oh it wasn't just my heart you took and gently tossed into the sea
Though it's hard to find the words I need
I guess it was me - oh I guess it was me oh
Sweet, sweet freedom
Sweet, sweet, sweet
Will the line between all this
And my love ever meet
Sweet, sweet freedom
Sweet, sweet, sweet
Sweet, sweet freedom
Sweet, sweet, sweet
Will the line between all this
And my love ever gonna meet
Sweet, sweet freedom
Sweet, sweet, sweet
Sweet (so sweet) sweet (oh sweet, sweet, sweet) freedom
Sweet (so sweet) sweet (so so) sweet
Sweet (oh sweet) sweet (oh sweet, sweet, sweet) freedom
Sweet (so sweet) sweet (so sweet so) sweet
THE MANHATTAN TRANSFER lyrics - A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square
(Eric Maschwitz & Manning Sherwin)
That certain night
The night we met
There was magic abroad in the air
There were angels dining at the Ritz
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square
I may be right
I may be wrong
But I'm perfectly willing to swear
That when you turned and smiled at me
A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square
The moon that lingered over London town
Poor puzzled moon
He wore a frown
Oh how could he know we two were so in love
The whole wide world was upside down
The streets of town were paved with stars
It was such a romantic affair
And as we kissed and said goodbye
A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square
A nightingale sang. A nightingale sang
The streets of town
Were paved with stars
It was such a romantic affair
And as we kissed and said goodbye
A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square

MAJOR HARRIS lyrics - Love Won't Let Me Wait
The time is right
You hold me tight
And love is got me high
Please tell me, yes
And don't say no, honey not tonight
I need to have you next to me
In more ways than one
And I refuse to leave
'Till I see the morning sun
Creep through your window pane
'Cause love won't let me wait
(Not one more minute, baby)
The time is right
Turned down the lights and take my hand
We will take a flight
And spend the night in a wonderland
Now move a little close to me
You owe it to yourself
And I will selfishly
Take a little for myself
And it's because of you
That love won't let me wait
(No, listen girl)
I need your love so desperately
And only you can set me free
When I make love to you
We will explode in ecstacy
And I won't take the blame
'Cause love won't let me wait, no
Love won't let me wait (my temperature's rising)
Love won't let me wait (cause your so tantalizing)
(Oh, listen girl)
Love won't let me wait
AC/DC lyrics - Stand Up
(A. Young / M. Young / B. Johnson)
Put on the headset, get on the stage
Out on the midnight, escapade
I didn't wanna steal your thunder
I wouldn't wanna play your game
Making all the headlines, getting on the front page
Didn't even know her number, didn't even know her name
Stand up, stand up and take it
Stand up, stand up and make it
Stand up, stand up and face it
Stand up
Get on the red dress, slip on the lace
Up for a high heel, and a pretty face
Woman wanna get you under
Woman wanna get you tame
Loving on a hot night
Stoking up the flame
I didn't wanna know her number, I didn't wanna know her name
Stand up, stand up and take it
Stand up, stand up and make it
Stand up, stand up and face it
Stand up
You can make it
Stand up, stand up and take it
Stand up, stand up and make it
Stand up, stand up and face it
Stand up, you can make it
Stand up, stand up and take it
Stand up, stand up and make it
Stand up, stand up and face it
Stand up, stand up
NATALIE MERCHANT lyrics - Diver Boy
(Traditional)
Young Emily was fair lady bright
She loved her diver boy
Who sailed over the ocean
To gather up some gold
Seven long years returning,
His money for to show
He'd been sailing over the main
Down in the low land, low
"My father runs a big hotel
Down by the river side
You go there go for to stay
And I shall be your bride
Meet me early morning
Don't let my parents know
You have been the diver boy
Down in the low land, low"
Young Henry taking a drink
That night before he went to bed
Not thinking of the danger
That crowned all over his head
Young Edward said to his father,
"let's take his money sure
And send his body sinking fast
Down in the low land, low"
Young Emily went to be that night
She dreamed an awful dream
She dreamed she saw
Her true love's blood
Go flowing down the stream
Waking early morning
To parents she did say,
"where could be that stranger boy
Who came here for to stay?"
"Oh, father you're a robber
You robbed me of my wren!
Oh brother you have murdered
The one that I loved best!
The trees on yonder mountain
Are bending to and fro
They remind me of my diver boy
Down in the low land, low"
N. W.A. lyrics - Parental Discretion Iz Advised
[Dr. Dre]
1,2,3 Kick it
[The D. O.C.]
Hey yo, Dre, what's going on, man, what's going on
Hey what'cha all gonna do for this last record
No, tell, what'cha all gonna do
Ok, you want me to do the intro, alright
Parental discretion is advised for the moment
While I'm getting candid, now understand it
Ain't too typical in any way, though the pro
On the mic is the D. O. to the C., this is an intro
I know the D. O.C. make ya want to takea valium
So buy a bucket 'cause I'm coming, it's my album
And for the record, meaning my record, check it
Listen to the single and you'll be like, yo, I gotta get it
But in the meantime, listen to the rhyme of the Dr. Dre
Played wit NWA
Yella's on the drum roll, rocking the beat
Hey yo Dre, where are you gonna take this shit man
[Dr. Dre]
Hey yo, let's take it to the street (word up)
Let 'em understand perfection
Let knowledge be the tool for suckers to stop guessing
'Cause I don't give a fuck about radio play
Observed the english I display
Lyrics for the adults, children have been barred
Scarred from listening to suckers so muthafuking hard
Dope, pumping that so much shit will never falter
Yo, It's Dre, so fuck the minor?(minalta)?
Psycho like no other muthafucka, so
Step to me wrong, G-O for what you N-O
But be warn, never will I leave like a regular
'Cause I'm a little better then the regular competitor
I use to see 'em on stage
Earning money like a thief but without a guage
Until I got full of clocking the lane, getting pulled
(They said you was gonna get paid) no, that's bullshit
They like it stylistic
And I enchant the crowd like I'm a misfit
(C-C-C-C) C-C-C-cameras on flashing when I'm in action
A photo or fresh wit a flair for fashion
Pure simplicity, see it's elementary
To hear one of the hardest muthafuckers this century
Try to comprise a word to the wise
And the guys, parental discretion is advised
[MC Ren]
Ren is most extremely high performance
The black hat 'cause I worn this 'cause it's like enormous
Some shit, I don't take it, not even in a toliet
And shit from a sucker, put in a pot and I'll boil it
Turn up the pilot as it burns
And maybe, the muthafuckers will learn
I'm not a sub 'cause I speak sensible
Not consider a prince 'cause I'm a principal
I'm engineering the shit that you're hearing
'Cause when it comes to power, I'm power steering
Silly you say, I say you silly when you're say it
Rushing to the eject to put my shit in and play it
It's like Apollo but I'm not an amateur
And I'm not giving a fuck while I'm damaging ya
It's for the record so Ren's lyrics, I'm gonna spin it
And if there was a trophy involved, I'll win it
Possession is mine and I'm the holder
'Cause a nigga like Ren don't give a fuck 'cause I'm older
So for you to step off would be wise
And say fuck it, parental discretion is advised
[Ice Cube]
I be what is known as a bandit
You gotta hand it to me when you truely understand it
'Cause if you fail to see, read it in brail
Would it still be funky, so what's next is the flex
Of a genius, mirander stutter stepping, if you seen this
Dope, you hope that I don't really mean this
But it play, making greater high top fade
It's not my trademark when I get loose in the dark
You guess it was a test of a different style
It's just another muthafucker on the pile
Driving your ass with the floor of your tongue
You hung yourself short, be after knowledge was brung
To your attention by the hardest muthafucking artist
That is know for lenching any sucker in a minute
Stagger 'em all
When I start flowing like Niagra Falls
Ice Cube is a quick to rip shit in a battle
Move like a snake when I'm mad and then my tail rattle
I get low on a flow so let your kids know
When I bust, parental discretion is a must
[Eazy-E]
Little did they know that I would be arriving
And then surprising, rocking it from where I been
But it's the E here to take no mistake
To be made in a trade where funky ass records are being played
Fuck the regular, yo, I get better, the
Bitches wanna trick and go stupid for the dick
So I get 'em hot thinking they're gonna get it
As they sit, rubbing their legs like a cricket
To you it may be funny
But there's no type of some beef without money
So slip the C-note and you can choke
On a wind ding ding-a-ling down your throat
Foreplay to me ain't shit
When you spread them, I'm ready, then you can get the dick
Of the Eaze, if you can deal wit the size
But if you can't, parental discretion's advise...
Shut the fuck up
THE FIREMAN lyrics - Light From Your Lighthouse
When the sky is filled up
With stones and heavy rain
And trouble starts sliding
Across the way
It's hard for me to see
Which road I've got to take
I know I need to find a way
To leave it all behind
Let it shine on
Let it shine on
Let the light from your lighthouse shine on me
Let it shine on
Let it shine on
Let the light from your lighthouse shine on me
And when the light is filled up
With storms and heavy rain
And trouble comes sliding
Across my mind
It's hard for me to see
Which road I've got to take
I know I need to find a way
To leave it all behind
Let it shine on
Let it shine on
Let the light from your lighthouse shine on me
Let it shine on
Let it shine on
Let the light from your lighthouse shine on me
Let it shine on
Let it shine on
Let the light from your lighthouse shine on me
Let it shine on
Let it shine on
Let the light from your lighthouse shine on me
Let it shine on
Let it shine on
Let the light from your lighthouse shine on me
Let it shine on
Let it shine on
Let the light from your lighthouse shine on me
MADONNA lyrics - I Want You
I, yi yi yi [repeat 3 times]
[Chorus:]
I want you the right way
I want you, but I want you to want me too,
Want you to want me baby
Just like I want you
Da da, da da, da da da
I'll give you all the love I want in return
But half a love is all I feel, sweet darling
It's too bad, it's just too sad
You don't want me no more
But I'm gonna change your mind
Some way, somehow
[chorus]
Da da, da da, da da da
One way love is just a fantasy
To share is precious, pure and fair
Don't play with something you should cherish for life
Oh baby, don't you wanna care?
Ain't it lonely out there?
[chorus]
I want you the right way
I want you, but I want you to want me too,
Want me baby, just like I want you.
Da da, da da, da da da
[Spoken:]
I want you, the right way
Want me baby
Don't play with something you should cherish for life

GEORGE STRAIT lyrics - Easy As You Go
(Steve Bogard, Rick Giles)
He saw her after school sippin' on a coke
Acted like a fool, crackin' crazy jokes
She turned his motor on, man his heart was gone
Fire down below
Easy as you go
[Chorus:]
Easy as you go, steady as you fly
Keep it in the road, keep an eagle eye
Turn it on a dime, man you never know
Take a little time, whoo, whoo, oo
Easy as you go
Graduation night out behind the stands
In the fading light he became a man
She discovered love better be enough
'Cause baby's gonna grow
Easy as you go
[Chorus]
Judgmental frowns, teachers looking down
Parents all ashamed passing out the blame
They got a little room, service station view
The rent's too high, the pay's too low, whoo
Easy as you go
Ain't nothing like a daughter or a son
To make a mama old and keep a daddy young
Make a body dream and give a life a theme
Take the highs and lows, whoo
Easy as you go
Easy as you go
DAVID LEE ROTH lyrics - Night Life
When that evenin'
Sun go down
You won't find me hangin' round
I know the Night Life
Ain't no good life
But it's my life
All the people
Just like you and me
They all just dreamin'
Bout some old used to be
They know the Night Life
Ain't no good life
Yeah, but it's my life
Wait a minute
What's that I think I hear, I say!
Baby, listen to the blues
Hear what they say
Listen to the blues, baby
Hear the guitar play
Don't tell me life
Is just an empty thing
Nothing but people
A whold boulevard of broken dreams
Cause I know the Night Life
Ain't no good life
Yeah, but it's my life
RAY CHARLES lyrics - Yours Sincerely
Dearest one
I write what I'm afraid to speak,
I'm weak when I'm with you,
Tears of love are causing
All the ink to blot
So what am I to do?
Hoping to find the phrases,
Groping to find each word,
How they all burn like blazes,
Now they all seem absurd.
Though I don't know where to end
And to begin
You must give in because
I'm yours sincerely,
The one who loves you dearly,
To think about it nearly takes
My breath away.
Very truly
My passion is unruly,
A dream of you is newly born
Each night and day.
Oh but my thoughts are fervent,
How can I make them plain?
Ever your humble servant
Faithfully I remain.
I'm intending
To find a happy ending
Because I love you dearly
I'm sincerely yours.
JOHN HIATT lyrics - I Could Use An Angel
Who tipped you off
How could she betray me
These hungry fingers
They found us guilty for love
And she said her lips were sealed
Easing my conscience
Now what has been done
That you were the first one to know
I thought we were sleeping
Who said that dreams don't come true?
This was her dream for revenge
She had to tell you
[Chorus:]
I could use an angel
Can't refuse an angel
Got business with an angel
She was no angel
Wearing that coat
You look like an amateur spy
How come you're not angry?
She wore your heart like a charm
A bracelet of boys on her wrist
Why aren't you angry?
Here on my bed
Tears on my bed
Mixed with the dust
Of things that she said
Burning a trust
Like a salt burns the wound
Like a capsule burns up
When it enters the atmosphere
Were you consumed
From the takeoff of this doomed mission
[Chorus]
I guess we must be brothers
We share a common traitor
We cancel each other
Hoisting her elevator
I never meant to hurt you
I'll never be converted
I want the host of angels
[Chorus]
RICHARD THOMPSON lyrics - A Heart Needs A Home
(Richard Thompson)
I know the way
That I feel about you
I'm never going to run away
I'm never going to run away
Never knew the way
When I lived without you
I'm never going to run away
I'm never going to run away
I came to you when
No one could hear me
I'm sick and weary
Of being alone
Empty streets and
Hungry faces
The world's no place when
You're on your own
A heart needs a home
Some people say
That I should forget you
I'm never going to be a fool
I'm never going to be a fool
A better life, they say
If I'd never met you
I'm never going to be a fool
I'm never going to be a fool
Tongues talk fire and
Eyes cry rivers
Indian givers
Hearts of stone
Paper ships and
Painted faces
The world's no place when
You're on your own
A heart needs a home
THE TOY DOLLS lyrics - My Baby Is A Battleaxe
I gets me a night cap
She says gee, I feel crap
I shouts Oi! whats up?
Ya stink, I think yer drinkin too much
She's gone, Yippee!
I turn on, the TV
But there's a snag, coz she's a bag,
She's back to nag & torment me
[Chorus:]
Iddlely aye ay, iddley aye oh...
She makes me cringe, she makes me scream,
Iddeley aye oh, iddley aye ay.
How comes my missus is so mean
SHE'S OBSCENE.
SHE'S OBSCENE
She says get, yer hair cut
She wont let me have a hairy nut
Complains, about nowt
No brains, insane shes a strain a pain
I could do without. WITHOUT
SHE'S A BA...
[Guitar bit]
Distressed, I feel blue
You've guessed
It's all down to all down to you
My baby is a battleaxe
And now there's nuthin' I can do...
[Chorus]

MODERN TALKING lyrics - Don't Let It Get You Down
I'm crying through the night
A cry of loneliness
Strangers side by side looking for a kiss
You feel your heart is dead
Oh like a broken toy
Oh blue eyes, don't cry
Your heart is out of tune
These tears can never dry
I'll save your heart, babe, soon
Oh baby give a try
A sound of breakin' hearts
I hear again and again
Oh, I'll be there
Take my helping hand
Don't let it get you down
It's never too late
Don't leave this heartbreak town
Feel the love we'll make
Harder you'll try the more you get
Oh your heartbeat is too sad
Come keep your heart just burning in the night
For you and me
You're tired of been alone
But time is on your side
You'll make it on your own
Baby, if you'll try
Holding back the tears and mend a broken heart
Oh blue eyes, don't cry
Never give you up
Somewhere there's a friend
When rain is in your heart
Babe, don't let it end
Oh light the flame of love
Oh, call me just again
Oh, I'll be there
Where the rainbow end
BON JOVI lyrics - Runaway
On the street where you live girls talk about their social lives
They're made of lipstick, plastic and paint, a touch of sable in their eyes
All your life all you've asked when's your Daddy gonna talk to you
You were living in another world tryin' to get your message through.
No one heard a single word you said.
They should have seen it in your eyes
What was going around your heart.
[Chorus:]
Ooh, she's a little runaway.
Daddy's girl learned fast
All those things he couldn't say.
Ooh, she's a little runaway.
A different line every night guaranteed to blow your mind
See you out on the streets, call me for a wild time
So you sit home alone 'cause there's nothing left that you can do
There's only pictures hung in the shadows left there to look at you
You know she likes the lights at nights on the neon Broadway signs
She don't really mind, it's only love she hoped to find
[Repeat chorus]
No one heard a single word she said
They should have seen it in your eyes
What was going around your heart
Ooh, she's a little runaway
Daddy's girl learned fast
All those things he couldn't say
Ooh, she's a little runaway
Daddy's girl learned fast
Now she was the night away
Ooh, she's a little runaway
Daddy's girl learned fast
All those things he couldn't say
Ooh, she's a little runaway
Daddy's girl learned fast
Now she was the night away
FRANK SINATRA lyrics - It Came Upon A Midnight Clear
It came upon the midnight clear,
That glorious song of old,
From angels bending near the earth,
To touch their harps of gold:
'Peace on the earth, good will to men,'
From heav'n's all-gracious King.
The world in solemn stillness lay,
To hear the angels sing!
Yet with the woes of sin and strife
The world has suffered long,
Beneath the angel strain have rolled
Two thousand years of wrong;
And man, at war with man, hears not
The love song which they bring:
O hush the noise, ye men of strife,
And hear the angels sing!
Still thro' the cloven skies they come,
With peaceful wings unfurl'd;
And still their heav'nly music floats
O'er all the weary world:
Above its sad and lowly plains
They bend on hov'ring wing,
And ever o'er its Babel sounds
The blessed angels sing.
All ye, beneath life's crushing load,
Whose forms are bending low,
Who toil along the climbing way
With painful steps and slow,
Look, now! for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing:
O rest beside the weary road,
And hear the angels sing!
For lo! the days are hast'ning on,
By prophet bards foretold,
When with the ever-circling years
Comes round the age of gold;
When peace shall over all the earth
Its ancient splendors fling,
And the whole world give back the song
Which now the angels sing!
SLADE lyrics - Sing Of The Times
(Holder & Lea)
Mondays there's been some change in my life
A supersonic return fligth, it's a sing of the times.
Mondays we've seen a man up on the moon
The 21st century is coming soon, it's a sing of the times.
Chorus
Turn on your radio, turn on TV8F on your stereo
Turn on a TV show, in multi-colour 65 video
It's up a TV times, it's up a radio times
Mondays beware big brother In 84
Test tube bad share being born, it's a sing of the times.
Laser days we leave the 70's far behind
Close encounters of every kind, it's a sing of the times.
Chorus
Turn on your radio, turn on TV8F on your stereo
Turn on a TV show, in multi-colour 65 video
It's a computer age, now it's the silicon place
Returning to base fron day a day out in space well be easy
I know
And when all say and done half way up to the sun
Well be all system go, say hello to the monkeys
Chorus
it's a sing of the times.
it's a sing of the times.
it's a sing of the times.
it's a sing of the times.
CAROLE KING lyrics - To Know That I Love You
The winds of time set my mind at ease
Like a gentle breeze, they let me know that I love you
Over and over again, we light the flame
Re-discovering that we are the same and I love you
Ah - it feels so good to know that I love you
With each new morning it's a good feeling to know
There is something to look forward to these days
As time sets in, we still begin to know each other
Even now as we go our separate ways
Ever together
Like the sun and the moon we give each other room
To shine and to glow and to grow and I know that I love you
Ah - it feels so good to know that I love you
THE RAMONES lyrics - I Wanna Be Well
Yeah, I wanna be well
I wanna be well
I wanna be
I want I want I want
I want I want I want
Yeah, I wanna be well
I want my
LSD, golly gee,
DDT, wowee!
Daddy's broke
Holy smoke
My future's bleak
Ain't it neat?

BARCLAY JAMES HARVEST lyrics - I'm Like A Train
Look around
And cry aloud
Seems so much is happening
But I have found
When you awake
The sky will shine
Even on a cloudy day
Want to be
Where I can see
Oh so much is happening
To you and me
Will it end?
Will day turn black
Will we ever see things right
And how can we make it through the night?
I'm like a train
That's jumping the track
Caught up in the slide
And I'll never come back
I turn around and look for a way
Nothing that I can do
Nothing that I can say
What a life
I was living before
Hard to see
If you can't find a door
Seen the turning
Know it's burning me
To be with you
I'm like a train
That's jumping the track
Caught up in the slide
And I'll never come back
I turn around and look for a way
Nothing that I can do
Nothing that I can say
IRVING BERLIN lyrics - When It's Night Time In Dixie Land
[1st verse:]
Talk about your Arabian nights
I must admit they're grand
But if you long for wonderful sights
Come down to Dixie land
That's the dearest place of all
Listening to the crickets call
When the evening shadows fall
Down in Dixie land
[Refrain:]
Night time down in Dixie land
Darkies strolling hand in hand
Southern melodies
Floating on the breeze
Let me tell you it's grand
For when you hear those darkies harmonize
Tears of gladness fill your eyes
Baritones and Basses
Lounging round the places
Dixie land embraces the happiest of races
All you see is smiling faces
When it's night time in Dixie land
[2nd verse:]
Through the air float the wonderful tunes
Of Mister Whippoorwill
On the ground dance the bow-legged coons
They simply can't keep still
Vet'rans of the civil war
Telling stories by the score
How they fought in sixty-four
Down in Dixie land
DAVID BOWIE lyrics - Rock 'N Roll With Me
You always were the one that knew
They sold us for the likes of you
I always wanted new surroundings
A room to rent while the lizards lay crying in the heat
Trying to remember who to meet
I would take a foxy kind of stand
While tens of thousands found me in demand
[CHORUS]
When you rock 'n' roll with me
No one else I'd rather be
Nobody here can do it for me
I'm in tears again
When you rock 'n' roll with me
Gentle hearts are counted down
The queue is out of sight and out of sounds
Me, I'm out of breath, but not quite doubting
I've found a door which lets me out!
[CHORUS (x3)]
NEIL YOUNG lyrics - Natural Beauty
On the roller coaster ride
That my emotions have to take me on
I heard a newborn baby cry
Through the night.
I heard a perfect echo die
Into an anonymous wall
of digital sound
Somewhere deep inside
Of my soul.
A natural beauty should be preserved
like a monument to nature
Don't judge yourself too harsh,
my love
Or someday you might find
your soul endangered
A natural beauty should be preserved
like a monument to nature.
Amazon
You had so much
and now so much is gone
What are you gonna do
With your life?
What a lucky man.
To see the earth
before it touched his hand
What an angry fool
To condemn.
One more night to go
One more sleep
upon your burning banks
A greedy man never knows
What he's done.
A natural beauty should be preserved
like a monument to nature
Don't start yourself too short,
my love
Or someday you might find
your soul endangered
A natural beauty should be preserved
like a monument to nature.
Went to the rodeo today
I saw the cowgirls
lined up on the fence
A brand new Chevrolet
A brand new pair of seamless pants.
We watched the moment of defeat
Played back over on the video screen
Somewhere deep inside
Of my soul.
A natural beauty should be preserved
like a monument to nature.
JOAN BAEZ lyrics - Long Black Veil
(D. Dill, M. Wilkin)
Ten years ago on a cold dark night,
Someone was killed 'neath the Town Hall light
The people who saw they all agreed
That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me.
The judge said, "son, what is your alibi?
If you were somewheres else,
Then you won't have to die".
I spoke not a word, though it meant my life,
For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife.
She walks these hills in a long black veil,
Visits my grave when the night winds wail,
Nobody knows, nobody sees,
Nobody knows, but me.
The scaffold is high, eternity near,
She stands in the crowd, she sheds not a tear,
But sometimes at night, when the cold winds moan,
In a long black veil she cries o'er my bones.
She walks these hills in a long black veil,
Visits my grave when the night winds wail,
Nobody knows, nobody sees,
Nobody knows, but me.

NEW YORK DOLLS lyrics - It's Too Late
Got the invitation to that seventies expose
But how she ever gonna love you when she can't parlez vous your Francais
You know that she can't stop dancin' and that's just about to make you scream
When you where actin' so damn fine
You tryin' hard not to be so mean
And you're tryin' to tell me
Ow
That how many times I gotta tell baby it's too late
It's too too late
I told you a thousand times baby it's too late
That's when I saw your mama and she's the blonde queen of the prom
And you're the little heiress to the kingdom from the flesh right down to the bone
Cause I saw you last night darlin' on the midnight flight to the stars
But you spend most your time in the powder room where you chit chat with Diana Doors
And you tryin to tell her
Ow
That how many times I gotta tell baby it's too late
It's too too late
I told you a thousand times but baby it's too late
You invite us up to that B-trip (?) but that's nothing new on me
That reminds me of problems back in 1933
Now you where here when they crashed on down and the geckos (?) got smacked up
And now all of God's children,
They gettin' what they want
When they get the ticket
OW! OW!
That how many times I gotta tell baby it's too late
It's too too late
I told you a thousand times but baby it's too late

SLAYER lyrics - Spirit In Black
(Hanneman/King)
Welcome to my world
Involve yourself within my dream
Experience a life
Just like your mind thought not to be
Take a look through time
As past or present words to be
I rule this inferno
Enthroned for eternity
[Chorus:]
Coils of the serpent unwind
Buried beneath you will find
Deep in the halls of the damned
Spirit in black till the journey's end
Spirits damned to rot
Amidst the brimstone fireballs
Eyes of the dead
Watching from their living walls
Broken glass reflections
Show your flesh eaten away
Beyond the gates I'll take you
Where the blood forever rains
[Chorus]
Afterlife confessions
Tell me who you used to be
Looking on in wonder
As I show you it was me
Burning from within
You know one spark is all it takes
Hear the piercing cries of all
Who found that hell awaits
Living nightmare can't you see
You really have no choice
Faded memories haunt you
Listen clearly to my voice
Feed me all your hatred
Empty all your thoughts to me
I can fill your emptiness
With immortality
Welcome to my world
Involve yourself within my dream
Experience a life just like your mind thought not to be
Take a look through time
As past or present words to be
I rule this inferno
Enthroned for eternity
RICHARD THOMPSON lyrics - Old Man Inside A Young Man
(Richard Thompson)
I was walking down the street
When I met with Billy
He shook his head at me
And then he shook my hand
He said, I've seen the world
And I've done some living
I don't believe in giving
You've got to take it while you can
I'm an old man inside a young man
You've got to take it while you can
I'm just an old man inside a young man
Take a heart and break it while you can
He said, I'm sick of whores,
Madames and misses
The only kiss for me
Is the kiss of a knife
There's no one thing on earth
That I'm not through with
What can I do with
The rest of my life?
I'm an old man inside a young man
You've got to take it while you can
I'm just an old man inside a young man
Take a heart and break it while you can
Billy turned and he walked away
He said, I must be going
There's just no knowing
Who follows me around
They see my fancy clothes
And they want to shoot me
I'd rather be dead on my feet
Than dead down in the ground
I'm an old man inside a young man
You've got to take it while you can
I'm just an old man inside a young man
Take a heart and break it while you can
I'm an old man inside a young man
You've got to take it while you can
I'm an old man inside a young man
Take a heart and break it while you can
I'm just an old man inside a young man
WOODY GUTHRIE lyrics - Bed On The Floor
Make me a bed right down on your floor,
Make me a bed right down on your floor,
I'll lay my head in a bed on your floor.
I'm a poor lonesome boy, I'm a long ways from home,
I'll lay my head in a bed on your floor.
Clock striking midnight and daylight to go,
I'll lay my head in a bed on your floor.
Sheriff on my trail with a big forty-four,
I'll lay my head in a bed on the floor.
Bed on the floor, baby, bed on the floor,
I'll lay a bed right down on your floor,
I'll lay my head in a bed on your floor.
Poor lonesome boy, I'm a long ways from home,
I'm a poor lonesome boy, I'm a long ways form home,
I'll lay my head right down on your floor.
THE ROLLING STONES lyrics - Tops
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
Hey baby
Every man is the same come on
I'll make you a star
I'll take you a million miles from all this
Put you on a pedestal
Come on, come on
Have you ever heard those opening lines
You should leave this small town way behind
I'll be your partner
Show you the steps
With me behind your tasting of the sweet wine of success
Cause I'll take you to the top, baby
Hey baby
I'll take you to the top
Step on the ladder
Toe in the pool
Your such a natural you don't need no acting school
Don't need no casting couch
Or be a star in bed
Never, never, never let success go to you pretty head
Cause I'll take you to the top, baby
I swear we'll never going to stop, baby
I'll take you to the top
Don't let the world pass you by
You better take your chance now baby
Or be sorry for the rest of your sweet loving life, baby
Oh, sugar
Hey sugar, I'll take you to the top
I'll take you to the top
I'll take you to the top, sugar
MEMPHIS MINNIE lyrics - Wants Cake When I'm Hungry
(Memphis Minnie)
I wants cake when I'm hungry, "lightnin' " when I'm dry
I wants cake when I'm hungry, "lightnin' " when I'm dry
And some good man to love me, and heaven when I die
Don't nobody want you when you're stumbling all alone
Don't nobody want you when you're stumbling all alone
You can find anything that'll wreck your happy home
I was up this morning, going from door to door
I was up this morning, going from door to door
Just sitting down wondering which away did my good man go
How a man expects for a woman to do right when he won't do right himself?
How a man expects for a woman to do right when he won't do right himself?
Well, it ain't no woman don't get tired of staying home all the time by herself
Call me, baby, call me around about 3
Call me, baby, call me around about 3
I'm having chills and fever and the doggone jinx got me
AMY GRANT lyrics - On And On
(Amy Grant & Brown Bannister)
Well, I don't understand this love
I have inside
Would it be the same without that
Twinkle in your eye
And would it be the same if you
Came and said goodbye forever
I only know that the love that I feel
Doesn't come from somewhere inside of me
But I see it keeps on growin'
So I guess I'll just keep goin' 'Cause I'm confident in knowin'
It's from the Lord
And it grows on and on, flowin' on and on
Don't you see we just can't hide love
From growin' on and on, flowin' on and on
There's so many ways to say I love you
I love you
So I pray for eyes to see your needs
And ears to hear your Spirit gently plead
Well I think I understand this love I have inside
It's coming from the Father
It will never be denied
Even if you came to me right now
And said goodbye
Forever, forever, forever.......
Growin' on and on, flowin' on and on
Don't you see we just can't hide love
From growin' on and on, flowin' on and on
Got to show this love in my heart
Growin' on and on, flowin' on and on
Don't you see we just can't hide love
From growin' on and on, flowin' on and on
Got to show this love in my heart

GREEN DAY lyrics - Walking Contradiction
Do as I say not as I do because
The shit so deep you can't run away
I beg to differ on the contrary
I agree with every word that you say
Talk is cheap and lies are expensive
My wallet's fat and so is my head
Hit and run and then I'll hit you again
I'm a smart ass but I'm playing dumb
Standards set and broken all the time
Control the chaos behind a gun
Call it as I see it even if
I was born deaf, blind and dumb
Losers winning big on the lottery
Rehab rejects still sniffing glue
Constant refutation with myself
I'm a vicitm of a catch 22
I have no belief
But I believe
I'm a walking contradiction
And I ain't got no right
Do as I say not as I do because
The shit so deep you can't run away
I beg to differ on the contrary
I agree with every word that you say
Talk is cheap and lies are expensive
My wallet's fat and so is my head
Hit and run and then I'll hit you again
I'm a smart ass but I'm playing dumb
I have no belief
But I believe
I'm a walking contradiction
And I ain't got no right
I have no belief
But I believe
I'm a walking contradiction
And I ain't got no right
DIANA ROSS lyrics - Selfish One
(Wilfred McGinley/Carl Smith)
Selfish one, why keep your love to yourself
It's like a souvenir that just sits on a shelf
It seems like you built a fence around your heart
Afraid that sharing might tear it apart
You pass up every chance at the start of romance
Selfish one, why keep your love in store
You think it's still that keeps forever more
You feel as I do when I ache
My heart could break down in a lonely stage
You better let your heart find a mate before it's too late
You let so much time pass by
I find myself still giving you the eye
You must have realised much to my surprise
You're making eyes at me
Is it really you
Now selfish one, you're walking me to my door
Selfish one, you never did this before
Without a chance to resist, your lips get mine
You're beginning to let your love light shine
I can see that you're really on the ball
You're not selfish at all
No, not at all
The way you hold me, the way you squize me
No you're not selfish
No, no, no
You're not selfish at all, not at all
The way you hold me, the way you squize me
You're not selfish at all
No not at all
The way you hold me
You're not selfish at all

GILBERT O'SULLIVAN lyrics - A Love So
I get a little bit of lovin in the morning
I get a little bit of lovin at night
I get a little bit of what I want
And when I know it's due
Get a little bit of kissing
And cuddling,
Feeling that I wanna be liked
By you
With a love......true
Never needed anybody who could need me
Never needed anybody to try
Never needed to be certain of that you can be sure
Never needed anybody to hold me
Now I have a feeling I might
Via you
With a love so.....pure
Take this paper in my hand
If you sign it means we stand
Shoulder to shoulder in the days ahead
Even on occasion when the explanation
That I plan on making makes no sense
Didn't know I couldn't do it till, I tried
Didn't know it at the time and at the time
I wasn't there
Didn't know about love and affection
Now it is a feeling I like
From you
A love so...... rare
You could say that we're on cloud nine
But on a clear day it's a waste of time
You could be ringing a freedom bell
In a prison yard where the prison guard
Orders you to march back to your cell
I get a little bit of lovin in the morning
Get a little bit of lovin at night
Get a little bit of what I want if it's not too late
Get a little bit of kissin and cuddling
Felling that I wanna be right
By you
With a love so....great
ZUCCHERO lyrics - Un Piccolo Aiuto
(Zucchero - Salerno)
Non so da dove arrivi
Con chi adesso vivi
Pero sei una bella sorpresa per me
Non so che cosa hai in mente
Non so se c'e un assente
Pero tu resta per un po
Perche io ho bisogno di un piccolo aiuto
E lo sai nel mio letto c'e un posto per te
Dormi pure se ti va
E riposati quanto vuoi
Ho bisogno di serenita
E di un piccolo aiuto.
Io e te due vite strane
E un mare di troppe grane
Io e te di nuovo qui
Io e te.
Se vuoi io ti preparo
Un caffe un po leggero
Cosi puoi dormire se lo vuoi
Perche io ho bisogno di un piccolo aiuto
E lo sai nel mio letto c'e un posto per te
Non parlare se non ti va
E riposati quanto vuoi
Ho bisogno di serenita
E di un piccolo aiuto
Io ho bisogno del tuo aiuto
E lo sai nel mio letto c'e un posto per te
Questa volta come vedi
Non mi reggo piu nemmeno in piedi
Ho bisogno di serenita
E di un piccolo aiuto.
