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



[beep]


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.
