JOAN ARMATRADING lyrics - Woncha Come On Home

Every light is on

But all the rooms

Are empty

Except one

Oh babe don't stay too late

You know I hate to be alone

And I'm alone

Baby woncha come on home



There's a madman

Standing on the corner

And he keeps on looking

At my window

Oh baby woncha come on home

Home



Every key is turned

And every window's bolted

From inside

Oh babe you know I get so scared

You know I couldn't live alone

It's just been confirmed

Baby woncha come on home



Standing on the corner

Is a madman

Looking at my window

Oh baby woncha come on home

Home

Baby woncha come on home



There's a man

Standing on the corner

Now a shadow

Moves across the window

Oh baby woncha come on home

Home

VAN MORRISON lyrics - It Must Be You

The sun is shining, it's everywhere

Don't have no worry, don't have no care

It must be true, this is the season

Baby it must be you



It was raining the other day

But that lonely feeling has gone away

It must be true, it's so pleasing

It must be you



That's what they say, in those old storybooks of old

You light my way and you satisfy my soul



It must be magic, it must be love

Oh what could I have been thinking of

It's the reason I'm feeling so blue

It must be you



Well that's what they say, in those old storybooks of old

You light my way and you satisfy my soul



It must be magic, it must be bliss

Oh it must be rain on a night like this

It must be true, that's the reason I think

It must be you



It must be you

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

Baby, b-b-b-b-b-b-baby

It must be you

I really do believe, it must be you

Baby, baby, I really do believe, really do believe, really do believe.

THE HOLLIES lyrics - Stay

(Williams)



Well your mama don't mind (bop-bop-shu-waddah-wah)

And your papa don't mind (bop-bop-shu-waddah-wah)

If we have another dance, oh yeah,

Oh won't you stay, just a little bit longer

Oh let me hear you say you will (say you will)



Won't you put your sweet lips to mine

Won't you say you love me, all of the time



Oh, oh, oh yeah just a little bit longer (whoa yeah)

Now please, please, please

Now hello, well are you going to

If we have another dance, oh yeah,

Just one more time



Oh won't you stay, yeah



Oh won't you stay, yeah



Oh won't you stay, yeah



Oh won't you stay

YES lyrics - Angkor Wat

(Jon Anderson, Rick Wakeman, Jonathan Elias Out of the brightest tree)



the moon became the morning sun,

And there again reflected on the dreams of everyone.

Out of the starlight night the telling of all our lives,

And racing faster than the Northwestern World.



Starpoint to signal our endlessness

Starpoint to signal this evermore

Starpoint to compass: We look to the North

To return to the centre: Angkor Wat.



(Cambodian poetry; translation follows)



I am a child of the universe.



I deserve total recognition of this in the light of God.



Being a child of the universe,

I want to live in a world without war

I want to live in a world without starvation

I want to live in a world without pestilence

I want to live in a world of love, peace and harmony



Because I am a child of the universe.

DEAN MARTIN lyrics - (Open Up The Door) Let The Good Times In

I woke up this morning

Toes out of my shoes

Bringing me the blues

I said "Blues, good morning"

I don't want to fight

'Cuse me while I have a smoke

If I can't find a light

Open up the door and let the good times in

Don't let nothing stand in your way

Just open up the door and let the good times in

Tomorrow's gonna be better than today



I went to that cupboard

Found the cupboard bare

What happened to that sip of wine

I had hidden there

Over in the corner a little mouse laid on his side

He was wearing such a grin

I thought the mouse had died

Open up the door and let the good times in

Don't let anything stand in your way

Just open up the door and let the good times in

Tomorrow's gonna be a better day



I won't call my baby

When she got to the phone

I kinda had a little feeling

My baby was not alone

She said "Daddy, I'm busy

Call some other time"

I don't need that woman but I sure could use that dime

Open up the door and let the good times in

Don't let anything stand in your way

Open up the door and let the good times in

Tomorrow's gonna be a better day

Tomorrow's gonna be a better day

Tomorrow's gonna be a better day

VINCE GILL lyrics - Smilin' Song

I've done some things that I hadn't oughta

Like coming home late with the preacher's daughter

I'd hit the back door seeing double

My ol' man waiting with a fistful of trouble



Sometimes you lose, sometimes you're a winner

Talk about love I ain't no beginner

I'm a sucker for a juke joint jumpin'

I never stop chasin' the scent of a woman



[Chorus:]

It's just the way that I've always been

Knock me down, I'm coming back again

I just sing, been there, done that

I come up smilin' song



I've been on top and I've hit the bottom

Tlak about hard times Lord, I've got 'em

Just keep runnin' and go full throttle

There ain't no answer in the bottom of a bottle



[Chorus 2x]

PHISH lyrics - Down With Disease

Down with disease

Three weeks in my bed

Trying to stop these demons that keep dancing in my head



Down with disease

Up before the dawn

A thousand barefoot children outside dancing on my lawn, and I keep



Waiting for the time when I can finally say

That this has all been wonderful but now I'm on my way

But when I think it's time to leave it all behind

I try to find a way but there's nothing I can say to make it stop



Down with disease and the jungles in my mind

They're climbing up my waterfalls and swingin' on my vines

So I try to hear the music but I'm always losing time

'Cause they're stepping on my rhythm and they're stealin' all my lines

Stealin' all my lines and I keep



Waiting for the time when I can finally say

That this has all been wonderful but now I'm on my way

But when I think it's time to leave it all behind

I try to find a way but there's nothing I can say to make it stop

PULP lyrics - Fairground

As the signs outside proclaimed,

Nature sometimes makes mistakes.

Was it the mother or the father to blame,

Inside the damp grass and tilted tent?

As the signs outside proclaimed,

Nature sometimes makes mistakes.

Was it the mother or the father to blame,

Inside the damp grass and tilted tent?



Won't you come with me to the fairground?

Your head

Will be spinning,

I said your head

Is your feet.

And the man at the side of me starts a lewd laugh

(ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!)

At the cat with two heads and the dog with eight legs.

(ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!)

The man has come between us,

His cheeks rattle like a fence,

(ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!)

He's come between us, and he starts a lewd laugh.

(ah ha ha ha ha ha ha!)



I sought shelter from the storm in a small inn by the coast.

In the children's room three identical sisters sat,

Except for the one who was hideously deformed;

Her grotesque features seemed to parody her sisters' beauty,

Ridiculing and mocking everything I held dear.



Won't you come with me to the fairground?

Your head

Will be spinning,

I said your head

Is your feet.

And the man at the side of me starts a lewd laugh

(ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!)

At the cat with two heads and the dog with eight legs.

(ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!)

The man has come between us,

His cheeks rattle like a fence,

(ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!)

He's come between us, and he starts a lewd laugh.

(ah ha ha ha ha ha ha!)



The fish-eyed foetus floated blankly in the yellowed waters, still as wax.

The man came between us,

My sister and I,

Ridiculing and parodying everything we held dear,

Making a mockery of our former emotions.

Dragging it all down to his level.



Won't you come with me to the fairground?

Your head

Will be spinning.

And the man at the side of me starts a lewd laugh

(ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!)

At the cat with two heads and the dog with eight legs.

(ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!)

The man has come between us,

His cheeks rattle like a fence,

(ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!)

He's come between us, and he starts a lewd laugh.

(ah ha ha ha ha ha ha!)

And then we went for rides.

[Jarvis:] Roll up, roll up, nice rides...

Come on, spin those cars boys and make the girls scream!

The louder you scream the faster we go!

Come on, roll up, go on, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls,

For the ride of a lifetime.

There's plenty of seats, come on, don't be shy!

Roll up, come on, come on!

[shreiking and wailing laughter]

And then we went for rides.

SWEET lyrics - Mother Earth

Smiling eyes in sea of faces

Stealing time for secret places

Making love in the afternoon



This is the next stop from the sun

Invaded for eveyone

This is the next stop from the sun

Invaded for everyone

Mother Earth is calling you

Mother Earth is calling you

Mother Earth is calling you

Today



Rolling Stones should rock together

Like the storm cloud christal wheather

Silver sun when the day is done



This is the next stop from the sun

Invaded for eveyone

This is the next stop from the sun

Invaded for everyone

Mother Earth is calling you

Mother Earth is calling you

Mother Earth is calling you

Today



This is the next stop from the sun

Invaded for everyone

Mother Earth is calling you

Mother Earth is calling you

Mother Earth is calling you

Today

TANITA TIKARAM lyrics - Out On The Town

I'm

Just out

I'm

Just out

Of my bed

And if I

Need some money

I will go

Get some money



And if I'm

I'm just out

I'm just out

On the town

And if I need some money

I will go get some money



And I

I'm just down

I'm just down

On my luck

And if I

Need another

I will go

Find a lover



And if things

They work out

I'll continue

To seek

Happiness is

Happiness is

Happiness is

All around and worth the waiting

All around and worth the waiting



And I

I'm just out

I'm just out to friends and family

Well I

I'm unpaid

I'm not skilled

I'm not scared



I'm just out

On the town

As the town it seems so

Funny sometimes

How can you smile?

When you're down

On your luck



And if things

They work out

I'll continue

To seek

Happiness is

Happiness is

Happiness is

All around and worth the waiting

All around and worth the waiting



It blows my mind

To think you're mine

It blows my mind

To think you're mine



And I'm

Just out

Of the times

That we spent together

Oh, I

Always count, all the dreamtime

And I

Am not out

On the town

For any funny feeling

I

I'm just down

On my luck

I am down

On my luck

I am down

On my luck

I am down

JOHN DENVER lyrics - Aspenglow

See the sunlight through the pine, taste the warm of winter wine.

Dream of softly falling snow, winter skol, aspenglow.

As the winter days unfold, hearts grow warmer with the cold.

Peace of mind is all you know, winter skol, aspenglow.



Aspen is a life to live, see how much there is to give,

see how strongly you believe, see how much you may receive.



Smiling faces all around, laughter is the only sound,

memories that can't grow old, winter skol, aspenglow.



Aspen is a life to live, see how much there is to give,

see how strongly you believe, see how much you may receive.



See the sunlight through the pine, taste the warm of winter wine.

Dream of softly falling snow, winter skol, aspenglow.

As the winter days unfold, hearts grow warmer with the cold.

Peace of mind is all you know, winter skol, aspenglow. Winter skol, aspenglow.

THE KINGSTON TRIO lyrics - They Are Gone

(Mason Williams)



The moments turn to hours and the hours turn to days and I've seen so many lost ones pass away.



[Chorus:]

And they're gone. Yes, they're gone. They are gone to stay. (Last time repeat)



The hill sides are so lovely in their springtime fine array but I've seen too many flowers fade away.



[Chorus]



The lovers pass by my window never caring if they stray but I've seen so many lovers lose their way.



[Chorus]

THIN LIZZY lyrics - Silver Dollar

I should've known you couldn't take it

You had to make it with another man

You know that's true baby

And I can play that game if you can



It's been a long time since I've come here

To give you what you need

My roots are in Chicago

But I know where I want to plant my seed



I bet a silver dollar you'd love another

And you know that silver dollar, it would make me rich

Girl like you, easy pitch

But I miss you now you're gone



I'm coming home girl just to show you

What's this man's been living for

A tip for you, don't be surprised baby

When I come busting through that door



I bet a silver dollar you'd love another

And even though that silver dollar would make me rich

I want to tell you that there is a hitch

I miss you know you're gone



And all I got left is my old guitar

PETE TOWNSHEND lyrics - Substitute

You think we look pretty good together

You think my shoes are made of leather

I'm a substitute for another guy

I look pretty tall but my heels are high

The simple things you see are all complicated

I look pretty young but I'm just back-dated...yeah



(Substitute) Your lies for fact

(Substitute) I see right through your plastic Mac

(Substitute) I look all white but my dad was black

(Substitute) My fine-looking suit's really made out of sack



I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth

The north side of my town faced east and the east was facing' south

And now you dare to look me in the eye

Those crocodile tears are what you cry

It's a genuine problem, you won't try

To work it out at all, just pass it by...pass it by



(Substitute) Me for him

(Substitute) My coke for gin

(Substitute) You for my mum

(Substitute) At least I'll get my washin' done



I'm a substitute for another guy

I look pretty tall but my heels are high

The simple things you see are all complicated

I look pretty young but I'm just back-dated...yeah



I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth

The north side of my town faced east and the east was facing' south

And now you dare to look me in the eye

Those crocodile tears are what you cry

It's a genuine problem, you won't try

To work it out at all, just pass it by...pass it by



(Substitute) Me for him

(Substitute) My coke for gin

(Substitute) You for my mum

(Substitute) At least I'll get my washin' done

(Substitute) Your lies for fact

(Substitute) I see right through your plastic Mac

(Substitute) I look all white but my dad was black

(Substitute) My fine-lookin' suit's really made out of sack

RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS lyrics - Why Don't You Love Me

Why don't you love me like you used to do?

How come you treat me like a worn out shue

My hair's still curly and my eyes are still blue

So why don't you love me like you used to do?



Why don't you spot me like you used to do?

When you whisper sweet nothings like you used to do

I'm the same old trouble that you've always been through

So why don't you love me like you used to do?



Why don't you be the way you used to be?

How come you fight so many fights with me

Somebody changed, so lemme give you a clue

Why don't you love me like you used to do?



Why don't you say the things you used to say?

How come you treat me like a piece of clay

My hair's still curly and my eyes are still blue

So why don't you love me like you used to do?



You can't keep a lovin' and a huggin' and a kissin' and I don't know why...

We don't get near or further closer land of country mouths



I don't love like a huggin' and a kissin' and I don't know why...

We don't get near or further closer land of country mouths

Take the ball...



[Repeat Everything Except Last Line]

JIMMY REED lyrics - Baby, What's On Your Mind

(Jimmy Reed / Ewart Abner)



Tell me baby, a-tell me what's on your mind

Yeah, tell me baby, tell me what's on your mind

Well, now I settled down, thinkin' about cha' baby, no honey, I just can't keep from cryin'



I got a nickel babe, honey, I wish that I had a dime

Yeah, I got a nickel, girl, I wish I had a dime

Yeah, I'd call up the operator and tell her give me your private line



I feel so bad, baby, livin' downtown all alone

Yeah, feel bad babe, honey settlin' down all alone

Well, now I can't help but ta wish darlin'-a, that I had my baby home

BILLY JOEL lyrics - Blonde Over Blue

Some days when I'm far away

In a lonely room in a cold seclusion

Some nights when I'm wound so tight

There is no release, there is no solution

In hell there's a big hotel

Where the bar just closed and the windows never opened

No phone so you can't call home

And the T. V. works, but the clicker is broken

But in the darkness I see your light turned on

You know my weakness, you know how I respond to



Blonde over blue...your hands are cold, your eyes are fire

Blonde over blue...they shine as though you're burning inside

One word from you is all I need to be inspired

Blonde over blue...I need your inspiration tonight



These days there's a million ways

To be pulled and torn, to be misdirected

These times there are sins and crimes

On the morning shows for the disconnected

I look and I write my book

And I walk away with the wrong impressions

I don't care 'cause I've done my share And I need some time for my own obsessions

It doesn't matter, I've let that life go by

It's been forgotten 'cause all I wanted was you



Blonde over blue...your hands are cold, your eyes are fire

Blonde over blue...they shine as though you're burning inside

One word from you is all I need to be inspired

Blonde over blue...I need your inspiration tonight



These days not a damn soul prays

And there is no faith 'cause there's nothing to believe in

These days only good luck pays

If we don't get paid then we try to get even

I look and I write my book

And I have my say and I draw conclusions

Some nights when I'm wound so tight

There is no release there is no solution

But in the darkness I see your light turned on

You know my weakness, you know how I respond to



Blonde over blue...your hands are cold, your eyes are fire

Blonde over blue...they shine as though you're burning inside

One word from you is all I need to be inspired

Blonde over blue...I need your inspiration tonight

WILLIE NELSON lyrics - Because Of You

I will not make the same mistakes that you did

I will not let myself

Cause my heart so much misery

I will not break the way you did,

You fell so hard

I've learned the hard way

To never let it get that far



Because of you

I never stray too far from the sidewalk

Because of you

I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt

Because of you

I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me

Because of you

I am afraid



I lose my way

And it's not too long before you point it out

I cannot cry

Because I know that's weakness in your eyes

I'm forced to fake

A smile, a laugh everyday of my life

My heart can't possibly break

When it wasn't even whole to start with



Because of you

I never stray too far from the sidewalk

Because of you

I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt

Because of you

I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me

Because of you

I am afraid



I watched you die

I heard you cry every night in your sleep

I was so young

You should have known better than to lean on me

You never thought of anyone else

You just saw your pain

And now I cry in the middle of the night

For the same damn thing



Because of you

I never stray too far from the sidewalk

Because of you

I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt

Because of you

I try my hardest just to forget everything

Because of you

I don't know how to let anyone else in

Because of you

I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty

Because of you

I am afraid



Because of you

Because of you

TOM WAITS lyrics - In The Neighborhood

Well the eggs chase the bacon

round the fryin' pan

and the whinin' dog pidgeons

by the steeple bell rope

and the dogs tipped the garbage pails

over last night

and there's always construction work

bothering you

In the neighborhood

In the neighborhood

In the neighborhood



Friday's a funeral

and Saturday's a bride

Sey's got a pistol on the register side

and the goddamn delivery trucks

they make too much noise

and we don't get our butter

delivered no more

In the neighborhood

In the neighborhood

In the neighborhood



Well Big Mambo's kicking

his old grey hound

and the kids can't get ice cream

'cause the market burned down

and the newspaper sleeping bags

blow down the lane

and that goddamn flatbed's

got me pinned in again

In the neighborhood

In the neighborhood

In the neighborhood



There's a couple Filipino girls

gigglin' by the church

and the windoe is busted

and the landlord ain't home

and Butch joined the army

yea that's where he's been

and the jackhammer's diggin'

up the sidewalks again

In the neighborhood

In the neighborhood

In the neighborhood

GEORGE BENSON lyrics - The Ghetto

Talking bout the ghetto funky funky ghetto

Trying to survive, trying to stay alive



The ghetto

The ghetto

(Talking bout the ghetto)

The ghetto

The ghetto

(Funk funky ghetto)



Even though the streets are bumpy, lights burned out

Dope fiends die with a pipe in their mouths

Old school buddies not doing it right

Every day it's the same

And it's the same every night

I wouldn't shoot you bro but I'd shoot that fool

If he played me close and tried to test my cool

Every day I wonder just how I'll die

Only thing I know is how to survive

There's only one rule in the real world

And that's to take care of you, only you and yours

Keep dealing with the hard times day after day

Might deal me some dope but then crime don't pay

Black man tried to break into my house again

Thought he got off early doing time in the pen

Even though my brothers do me just like that

I get a lot of love so I'm giving it back to the



The ghetto

The ghetto

(Talking bout the ghetto)

The ghetto

The ghetto

(Funk funky ghetto)



So just peep the game and don't call it crap

'Cause to me, life is one hard rap

Even though my sister smoked crack cocaine

She was nine months pregnant, ain't nothing changed

600 Million on a footbal team

And her baby dies just like a dope fiend

The story I tell is so incomplete

Five kids in the house and no food to eat

Don't look at me and don't ask me why

Mama's next door getting high

Even though she's got five mouths to feed

She's rather spend her money on a h-i-t

I always tell the truth about things like this

I wonder if the mayor overlooked that list

Instead of adding to the task force send some help

Waiting on him I'd better help myself

Housing authority and the O. P.D

All these guns just to handle me in the



The ghetto

The ghetto

(Talking bout the ghetto)

The ghetto

The ghetto

(Funk funky ghetto)



Even though they put us down and call us animals

We make real big banks and buy brand new clothes

Drive fancy cars, make love to stars

Never really saying just who we are

We use alias names like too $hort

Sell you stuff you might kill for

Young kids grow up and that's all they know

Didn't teach him in school now he's slangin dope

Only thing he knows is how to survive

But will he kill another brother before he dies?

In the ghetto, you keep one eye open

All day long, just hoping and hoping

You can pay your bills and not drink too much

Then the problems of life you'll be throwing up

Like me, but you don't see

Ten years from now, where will you be?



The ghetto

The ghetto

(Talking bout the ghetto)

The ghetto

The ghetto

(Funk funky ghetto)



So much game in a too $hort rap

Blacks can't be white and whites can't be black

Why you wanna act like someone else?

All you gotta do is just be yourself

We're all the same color underneath

Short dog's in the house you'd better listen to me

Never be ashamed of what you are

Proud to be black stand tall at heart

Even though some people give you no respect

Be intelligent, when you put em in check

Cause when you're ignorant, you get treated that way

And when they throw you in jail you got nothing to say

So if you don't listen it's not my fault

I'll be getting paid while you'll be paying the cost

Sitting in the jailhouse running your mouth

While me and my peoples try to get out



The ghetto

The ghetto

(Talking bout the ghetto)

The ghetto

The ghetto

(Funk funky ghetto)

BARRY MANILOW lyrics - Young At Heart

(G. Leigh, J. Richards)



[Originally by Frank Sinatra]



Fairy tales can come true, it can happen to you

If you're young at heart.

For it's hard, you will find, to be narrow of mind

If you're young at heart.



You can go to extremes with impossible schemes.

You can laugh when your dreams fall apart at the seams.

And life gets more exciting with each passing day.

And love is either in your heart, or on it's way.



Don't you know that it's worth every treasure on earth

To be young at heart.

For as rich as you are, it's much better by far

To be young at heart.



And if you should survive to 105,

Look at all you'll derive out of being alive!

And here is the best part, you have a head start

If you are among the very young at heart.



[Musical interlude]



And if you should survive to 105,

Look at all you'll derive out of being alive!

And here is the best part, you have a head start

If you are among the very young at heart.

R. E.M. lyrics - Time After Time (annElise)

Ask the girl of the hour by the water tower's watch

If your friends took a fall, are you obligated to follow



Time after time after time



When the bull's on his hooves, when you gather friends by the tower

If you try to refuse, will they judge your worth by the hour?



If your tired and you're tried you can find me in my room

You can stay if you want and the third time you can't lose



Ask the girl of the hour, by the water tower's watch

We can fight if you want but who will turn out the light

BAD COMPANY lyrics - Burning Up

I'm burnin' up, I'm burnin' up, I'm burnin' up for your love

I'm burnin' up, I'm burnin' up, I'm burnin' up for your love



You let me down, turned me 'round, you messed around with my heart

What kind of woman with a smile on her face

Can tear your whole world apart, hey



I'm on fire, I feel it burnin' up, I'm on fire



I'm burnin' up, burnin' up, I'm burnin' up every night

I'm burnin' up, burnin' up, and burnin' up can feel so right



I see the smoke, I feel the heat, my life is going up in flames

How could you be so indiscrete, and still be so unashamed, hey



I'm on fire, I feel it burnin' up, I'm on fire



Hey you said you'd never leave me, you said we'd never be apart

You turned out to be a liar, and left me with a broken heart

Why did you do it babe, yeah



(Solo)



I'm on fire, I'm burnin' inside, I'm on fire, why did you do it baby



Ooh I'm burnin' up, I'm burnin' up, I'm burnin' up for your love

Ooh I'm burnin' up, see I'm burnin' up, I'm burnin' up for your love



Watch me burn, see me burnin', 'cause my heart's on fire

Watch me burn, see me burnin' up for your love

Watch me burn, see me burnin' up for your love

Watch me burn...

PATTI SMITH lyrics - Because The Night

take me now baby here as I am

pull me close, try and understand

desire is hunger is the fire I breathe

love is a banquet on which we feed



come on now try and understand

the way I feel when I'm in your hands

take my hand come undercover

they can't hurt you now,

can't hurt you now, can't hurt you now

because the night belongs to lovers

because the night belongs to lust

because the night belongs to lovers

because the night belongs to us



have I doubt when I'm alone

love is a ring, the telephone

love is an angel disguised as lust

here in our bed until the morning comes

come on now try and understand

the way I feel under your command

take my hand as the sun descends

they can't touch you now,

can't touch you now, can't touch you now

because the night belongs to lovers...



with love we sleep

with doubt the vicious circle

turn and burns

without you I cannot live

forgive, the yearning burning

I believe it's time, too real to feel

so touch me now, touch me now, touch me now

because the night belongs to lovers...



because tonight there are two lovers

if we believe in the night we trust

because tonight there are two lovers...

GEORGE HARRISON lyrics - Devil's Radio

Gossip, gossip

Gossip, gossip



I heard it in the night

Words that thoughtless speak

Like vultures swooping down below

On the devil's radio



I hear it through the day

Airwaves gettin' filled

With gossip broadcast to and fro

On the devil's radio



Oh yeah, gossip

Gossip, oh yeah



He's in the clubs and bars

And never turns it down

Talking about what he don't know

On the devil's radio



He's in your TV set

Won't give it a rest

That soul betraying so and so

The devil's radio



Gossip, gossip

Gossip, gossip

(Oh yeah) gossip, (gossip) oh yeah

(Gossip) oh yeah, (oh yeah) gossip



It's white and black like industrial waste

Pollution of the highest degree

You wonder why I don't hang out much

I wonder how you can't see



He's in the films and songs

And on all your magazines

It's everywhere that you may go

The devil's radio



Oh yeah, gossip

Gossip, oh yeah



Runs thick and fast, no one really sees

Quite what bad it can do

As it shapes you into something cold

Like an Eskimo igloo



It's all across our lives

Like a weed it's spread

'till nothing else has space to grow

The devil's radio



Can creep up in the dark

Make us hide behind shades

And buzzing like a dynamo

The devil's radio



(Gossip) oh yeah, (gossip) oh yeah

(Gossip) gossip, (gossip) gossip

Oh yeah, gossip I heard you on the secret wireless

Gossip, oh yeah You know the devil's radio, child

Gossip, gossip

Gossip, gossip

RINGO STARR lyrics - Brandy

(Joseph B. Jefferson and Charles B Simmons)



By the open fireplace in my favourite dungarees,

Played a few bars of a melody and it sounded sweet to me.

Thought i get up and take a look around but my feet got in my way,

Stumbled to the floor, she was right at the door, i could even see her face.



But how could it be (how could it be)

She ran away from me.

My best friends gone and i'm so all alone.



I kind-a miss you, brandy, i'm so all alone,

When are you coming back home?

I really miss you, brandy, missing you ev'ry day,

Are you coming home to stay?



Sitting on a lonely beach building houses out of sand,

Like a little child with a fantasy, just a fraction of a man.

I was in love when they put her down on my doorstep in the rain,

I could feel the love coming into my heart through my window pane.



But how could i know (how could i know)

That she would up and go

My best friends gone and i'm so all alone. (alone)



I really miss you, brandy, i'm so all alone,

When are you coming back home?

I really miss you, brandy, missing you ev'ry day,

Are you coming home to stay?



I kind-a miss you, brandy when are you coming back home?

I'm so all alone.

Said i really miss you, brandy, missing you ev'ry day,

Are you coming home to stay?

GLENN HUGHES lyrics - Isolation

In this world

It's so hard to make a plan

Every time now you know

I understand

There's no way I would

Go there on my own

Such a place

I refuse to be alone



Don't live in isolation

Don't live in isolation

Don't live in isolation

Cos it's not good for me



I'm in grace

And I never will regret

I won't fall

And I hope I don't forget

Won't you stay

I will occupy your mind

Night and day

It's my life I have designed



Don't want to live there anymore

You'll never find out on the shore

URIAH HEEP lyrics - Choices

(Williams)



I was walking alone thru a side show

With passion and pain on each side.

Something inside me was calling

For a chance to stay alive.



At the time I didn't know what was calling

As my head was buried in grief.

Today I heard what was crying.

My FREEDOM calling me



And we all make our choices

Like a blind man feels his way,

And the choice I've made is simple:

Passion over pain.



When I got to the end of the side show

And looked back to where I had been,

My eyes filled with teardrops of loneliness

For the ones who will never be free



And we all make our choices

Like a blind man feels his way,

And the choice I've made is simple:

Passion over pain.



I thought of the children in the side show

As they wandered around so confused.

Some day they'll make their decision

But which one will they choose?



And we all make our choices

Like a blind man feels his way,

And the choice I've made is simple:

Passion over pain.

ELVIS PRESLEY lyrics - Rip It Up

(Blackwell - Marascaleo)



'Cause it's Saturday nite and I just got paid

Fool about my money don't try to save

My heart says go, go

Have a time 'cause it's Saturday nite

And I'm feelin' fine



I'm gonna rip it up

I'm gonna rock it up

I'm gonna shake it up

I'm gonna ball it up

I'm gonna rip it up

And ball tonite



I got a date and I won't be late

Pick her up in my '88'

Shag it on down to the union hall

When the music starts jumpin'

I'll have a ball



Along about 10 I'll be flying high

Rocking on out into the sky

I don't care if I spend my gold

'Cause tonite I'm gonna be one happy soul

CELINE DION lyrics - On Ne Change Pas

On ne change pas

On met juste les costumes d'autres sur soi

On ne change pas

Une veste ne cache qu'un peu de ce qu'on voit

On ne grandit pas

On pousse un peu, tout juste

Le temps d'un reve, d'un songe

Et les toucher du doigt



We don't change

We simply put other's costumes on ourselves

We don't change

A jacket simply hides a little of what we see

We do not grow

We simply get a little taller, no more

The time of a dream, of a little dream

And touch them with the finger

Mais on n'oublie pas

L'enfant qui reste, presque nu

Les instants d'innocence

Quand on ne savait pas



But we don't forget

The child that stays, almost naked

The moments of the innocence

When we didn't know

On ne change pas

On attrape des airs et des poses de combat

On ne change pas

On se donne le change, on croit

Que l'on fait des choix

Mais si tu grattes la

Tout pres de l'apparence tremble

Un petit qui nous ressemble

On sait bien qu'il est la

On l'entend parfois

Sa rengaine insolente

Qui s'entete et qui repete

Oh ne me quitte pas



We don't change

We get faces and poses of combat

We don't change

We reply to each other, we believe

That we do choices

But if you scratch there

Very close to the apperance, shivers

A little one who looks like us

We know he is there

We hear it sometimes

Its insolent old tune

Which insists and repeats itself

Oh, don't leave me

On n'oublie jamais

On a toujours un geste

Qui trahit qui l'on est

Un prince, un valet

Sous la couronne un regard

Une arrogance, un trait

D'un prince ou d'un valet

Je sais tellement ca

J'ai copie des images

Et des reves que j'avais

Tous ces milliers de reves

Mais si pres de moi

Une petite fille maigre

Marche a Charlemagne, inquiete

Et me parle tout bas



We never forget

We always have a move

Qui trahit who we are

A prince, a valet

Under the crown a look

An arrogance, a trait

Of a prince, of a valet

I know that very well

I copied images

And dreams I had

All those thousands dreams

But so close to me

A small thin girl

Walks in Charlemagne, worried

And whispers to me

On ne change pas, on met juste

Les costumes d'autres et voila

On ne change pas, on ne cache

Qu'un instant de soi



We don't change, we simply put on

Costumes from others and that's it

We don't change, we only hide

A moment of ourselves

Une petite fille

Ingrate et solitaire marche

Et reve dans les neiges

En oubliant le froid



A little girl

Ungrateful and alone walks

And dreams in the snows

Forgetting the cold

Si je la maquille

Elle disparait un peu,

Le temps de me regarder faire

Et se moquer de moi



If I paint her

She disappears a little

Just long enough to watch me doing

And make fun of me

Une petite fille

Une toute petite fille

Une toute petite fille

Une toute petite fille



A little girl

A very little girl

A very little girl

A very little girl

GILBERT O'SULLIVAN lyrics - Breakfast Dinner And Tea

All I ever get from you is breakfast dinner and tea

Served with all the love that you possess

So tomorrow I'll be off with nothing left in me

Bar a helping of your tenderness



People said before we met how good you could be

Especially at well that they didn't say

So I let my imagination get the better of me

Not thinking that I would regret that very day



Now I'm mixed up with a girl

Who believe me cooks like a pro

But outside of that

It's no good at what she should be, loving me



Now I'm mixed up with a girl

Who believe me cooks like a pro

But outside of that

It's no good at what she should be

All I ever get from you is breakfast dinner and tea

Served with all the love that you possess

So tomorrow I'll be off with nothing left in me

Bar a helping of your tenderness



All I ever get from you is breakfast dinner and tea

Breakfast dinner and tea

THREE DOG NIGHT lyrics - Jam

(Three Dog Night)



Ooh, I love you baby sometimes ain't too much

Lord, I got to have ya, love to feel your touch

I had you in the summertime, I loved you in the fall.

I got to take you home with me, I got to make you ball.

Do you feel all right, do you feel all right



You make us feel all right, you make us feel all right. (Repeat)



Feel it baby, feel it. [Repeat]



You wanna clap your hands. [Repeat]



I got to feel it. [Repeat]



Give us some of that. [Repeat]



You make us feel all right, you make us feel all right. [Repeat]

U2 lyrics - Lady With The Spinning Head

Here she comes

Lady luck again

Figure of eight

Six and nine again



My lady with the spinning head



Whatever the deal

She won't let me down

Wherever I go

She's always hanging 'round



My lady with the spinning head

La la la la la la la la la la la

Lady with the spinning head

La la la la la la la la la la la

Lady with the spinning head



She's been gone

But I knew she'd be back

She's got the rent

She put me in the black



The lady with the spinning head



Took my mind

Took away my car

Do you dare to ask

What I'm talking about



I'm on top

When she's around

She's my ticket

Out of town



La la la la la la la la la la la

Lady with the spinning head

La la la la la la la la la la la

Lady with the spinning head

SAXON lyrics - Rough And Ready

Well, you're brought up on the street

Did ya make it on your own

Are ya living in the shadow

Crawling in the night

Sleeping in the subway

Beggin' for a fight

Makes ya grow up hard, boy

Aren't you ready for a fight



I don't need no one

You can keep you sympathy

I live on my own

I would make that company

I don't need no one

You can keep you sympathy

I live on my own

I would make that company

I'm rough and ready tonight



Standing on the corner

Asked ya for smoke

I kick you in the deep, boy

Steel away you girl

Talked into a night fight

They cut me to the bone

Don't ya mess with me, boy

Ya better leave me alone



I don't need no one

You can keep you sympathy

I live on my own

I would make that company

I don't need no one

You can keep you sympathy

I live on my own

I would make that company

I'm rough and ready tonight



Maybe seeing a call girl

I'll take ya for a ride

The cops will never break me

Steal away my pride

If you're looking for a good time

And ya wanna ride with me

And you're feeling rough and ready

Rough and ready with me



You can change my life

You can read my mind

I don't want no one

I don't have no one

I don't need no one

You can keep your sympathy



Well, you're brought up on the street

Did ya make it on your own

Crawling in the night

Sleeping in the subway

Begging for a fight

Makes ya grow up hard, boy

Ain't you ready for a fight



I don't need no one

You can keep you sympathy

I live on my own

I would make that company

I don't need no one

You can keep you sympathy

I live on my own

I would make that company

I'm rough and ready tonight

Rough and ready tonight

UFO lyrics - Doing It All For You

Lights turn red to green

I haven't been spotted I seen

Four more blocks and I'm safe

Make it clean without a chase



There's something special, certain feeling

I can't blow this one for sure

I've been nervous, anxious and edgy

This one's the last one there'll be no more

What I've got to do tonight

Take the car and meet the man downtown

It's easy darling, working away

Before the word's got around



(1) And I'll do it all for you, oh yes I will

This time I'm coming through, oh yeah



I said I'm burning, I been rolling

This car's turned up to make it fly

Don't worry darling just get ready

Tonight we're gonna be going out in style

If anyone comes calling around

Don't answer 'cause you're my alibi

So just trust me, kiss me and love me

Chasing the golden mile



(1) Repeat



[INSTRUMENTAL]



(1) Repeat

RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS lyrics - Savior

Dusting off your savior

You were always my favorite

Always my man - All in a hand



To celebrate you is greater

Now that I can - Always my man



Now you see what I came for

No one here is to blame for

Misunderstand - All in a hand



Just like you 'cause you made me

All that I am - All in a hand



A butterfly that flaps its wings

Affecting almost everything

The more I hear the orchestra

The more I have something to bring

And now I see you in a beautiful

And different light

He's just a man and any damage done

Will be all right

Call out my name

Call and I came



Dusting off your savior

Forgiving any behavior

He's just a man - All in a hand



Your hero's destined to waver

Anyone can - Always my man



I would never betray you

Look at me who could raise you

Face in the sand - Safe in your hand



You were always my favorite

Always my man - All in a hand



We are the red hots and

We're loving up the love me nots

The flowers in your flower pots

Are dancing on the table tops

And now I see you in a beautiful

And different light

He's just a man and everything he does

Will be all right

Call out my name

Call and I came



Dusting off your savior

The life that you have narrated

You were my man

ANNIE HASLAM lyrics - Shine

Once I was lonely, living in dreams (Shine shine shine shine)

Found my heart open now shine on me

Into my open heart like the sun shines

Into my open soul like the sun shines

A shaft of light through a now open door....



You so beguiling, smiling at me (Shine shine shine shine)

Smiling and tender soft the breeze

Into my open heart like the sun shines

Into my open soul like the sun shines

A shaft of light through a now open door (Shine shine shine shine)



I hear you whisper, gentle and free (Shine shine shine shine)

Laughing and loving, shining from me (Shine)

RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS lyrics - Porcelain

Porcelain

Are you wasting away in your skin

Are you missing the love of your kin

Drifting and floating and fading away



Porcelain

Do you smell like a girl when you smile

Can you bear not to share with your child

Drifting and floating and fading away



Little lune

All day

Little lune



Porcelain

Do you carry the moon in your womb

Someone said that you're fading too soon

Drifting and floating and fading away



Porcelain

Are you wasting away in your skin

Are you missing the love of your kin

Nodding and melting and fading away



Little lune

All day

Little lune...

TOMMY BOLIN lyrics - Burnin' And Lootin'

This morning I woke up in a curfew;

O God, I was a prisoner, too - yeah!

Could not recognize the faces standing over me;

They were all dressed in uniforms of brutality. Eh!



How many rivers do we have to cross,

Before we can talk to the boss? Eh!

All that we got, it seems we have lost;

We must have really paid the cost.



(That's why we gonna be)

Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight;

(Say we gonna burn and loot)

Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight;

(One more thing)

Burnin' all pollution tonight;

(Oh, yeah, yeah)

Burnin' all illusion tonight.



Oh, stop them!



Give me the food and let me grow;

Let the Roots Man take a blow.

All them drugs gonna make you slow now;

It's not the music of the ghetto. Eh!



Weeping and a-wailin' tonight;

(Who can stop the tears?)

Weeping and a-wailin' tonight;

(We've been suffering these long, long-a years!)

Weeping and a-wailin' tonight

(Will you say cheer?)

Weeping and a-wailin' tonight

(But where?)



Give me the food and let me grow;

Let the Roots Man take a blow.

I must say: all them - all them drugs gonna make you slow;

It's not the music of the ghetto.



We gonna be burning and a-looting tonight;

(To survive, yeah!)

Burning and a-looting tonight;

(Save your baby lives)

Burning all pollution tonight;

(Pollution, yeah, yeah!)

Burning all illusion tonight

(Lord-a, Lord-a, Lord-a, Lord!)



Burning and a-looting tonight;

Burning and a-looting tonight;

Burning all pollution tonight. [fadeout]

COWBOY JUNKIES lyrics - Lonely Sinking Feeling

She says, "I'm getting that lonely sinking feeling,

You know what I mean?"

With his hand on her back he's thinking,

"Where does that leave me?"

Just when I think I've uncovered the secret

To peace and tranquility

That lonely sinking feeling creeps up on me



He says, "I'm seeing those doubt filled

Questioning eyes

And I can't believe it's true"

With her head in her hands she sighs,

"It's me, not you"



Just when I thought that I'd discovered the joy

Of loving one so completely

That lonely sinking feeling creeps up on me



Here in this silent room we wait on ancient ritual

Staring at our hearts

As if they were two caged animals

If I am the first to unlock those rusty doors

Will I be the first found bleeding on the floor?



She says, "I'm getting that lonely sinking feeling,

You know what I mean?"

With his hand on her back he's thinking,

"Where does that leave me?"



Just when I think I've uncovered the secret

To peace and tranquility

That lonely sinking feeling creeps up on me



Just when I thought that I'd discovered the joy

Of loving one so completely

That lonely sinking feeling creeps up on me

That lonely sinking feeling creeps up on me

FRANK SINATRA lyrics - Monday Morning Quarterback

(Pamela Phillips, Don Costa)



[Recorded September 10, 1981, New York]



I know there were a hundred ways to tell her I loved her

It's funny how they're all so clear today

And when her face was burning with sadness and yearning

I don't know why I turned my eyes away



But it's so easy looking at the game the morning after

Adding up the kisses and the laughter

Knowing how you'd play it if the chance to play it over ever came

But then, a Monday morning quarterback never lost a game



The room was so alive with all her feelings and longings

I saw the spark of danger in her eyes

Well, how would it have hurt me if I'd turned back and held her?

A moment passes, something lovely dies



But it's so easy looking at the game the morning after

Adding up the kisses and the laughter

Knowing how you'd play it if the chance to play it over ever came

But then, a Monday morning quarterback never lost a game



[instrumental-French horns-first two lines of chorus]



Yes, it's easier to win it when you know you'd never play it quite the same

But then, this Monday morning quarterback never lost a game

DORO PESCH lyrics - Love Song

Okay



Dreams of Xanadu

Like a rainbow in the sky

I wil lead you to heaven

Close your eyes just let me try



You will listen to my voice

You will listen to my whisper



Sweet emotions fill my love song

And it's only for you

It's only for you



Every song I sing

Is a love song for you!



This song I sing

Is a love song for you!



A love song for you



How I cherish your touch

Believe in you so much

You're my island in the setting sun

And the waves just drift along



How I feel for you

I cannot forget you



It's not hard to understand me

The way I show my love

ELF lyrics - Dixie Lee Junction

These old boots will keep me walking

To a place I long to be

High upon a mountaintop

Down in Tennessee



Said goodbye to New York

Country living on my mind

Crowded streets and hot cement

That's what I left behind



Well, just outside of Oakridge

About a 15 minute ride

Well, all I need is clean fresh air

To keep me satisfied

Satisfied



Big city living got me on the run

Big city living got me on the run

Dixie Lee Junction

Dixie Lee Junction



Well, big city living got me on the run

Big city living got me on the run

Dixie Lee Junction

Dixie Lee Junction

Oh, yeah!



Yeah, big city living got me on the run

Big city living got me on the run

Dixie Lee junction

Dixie Lee Junction

Dixie Lee Junction

Dixie Lee Junction



Alright!

Dixie Lee Junction

Oh, Dixie Lee Junction

Hey, Dixie Lee Junction

Oh!

THE SHANGRI-LAS lyrics - I Can Never Go Home Anymore

(George Morton and Jerry Grimaldi)



I'm gonna hide if she don't leave me alone

I'm gonna run away

Don't!!



'cause you can never go home anymore



[Spoken:]

Listen. Does this sound familiar? You wake up every morning, go to

school every day, spend your nights on the corner just passing the time away.

Your life is so lonely like a child without a toy. Then a miracle-a boy. And that's

called "glad." Now my mom is a good mom and she loves me with all her heart.

But she said I was too young to be in love and the boy and I would have to part.

And no matter how I ranted and raved, I screamed, I pleaded, I cried-she told me it

was not really love but only my girlish pride. And that's called "bad."



(Never go home anymore)



[Spoken:]

Now if that's happened to you, don't let this. I packed my clothes and

left home that night. Though she begged me to stay, I was sure I was right. And

you know something funny?? I forgot that boy right away. Instead I remember

being tucked in bed and hearing my mama say



(Hush, little baby, don't you cry)

(Mama won't go away)

Mama!!!



(You can never go home anymore)

Mama!!!

I can never go home anymore



[Spoken:]

Do you ever get that feeling and wanna kiss and hug her? Do it now-

tell her you love her. Don't do to your mom what I did to mine. She grew so lonely

in the end. Angels picked her for a friend.



(Never)

And I can never go home (never) anymore

And that's called "sad."

NEIL YOUNG lyrics - Devil's Sidewalk

"When the red light shines

On the streets of hate

Where the devil dines

Who knows what he ate



It's a simple thing

Trying to stay afloat,"

The captain said

Without his boat



"Some things are getting better

Other things a little worse

It's a situation

Much like a curse



It's the devil's sidewalk (Greendale)

It's the devil's door (Greendale)

I try to avoid it," (Greendale)

Said the captain of the shore (Greendale)



"There's a garden growing (Greendale)

And a million weeds (Greendale)

With no way of knowing (Greendale)

Who has done which deed" (Greendale)



"That's an honest tale,"

Said the helmsman to the mate,

"about a woman delicious

And a matter of fate"



Big wheel's still rolling

Down on me

One thing I can tell you

Is you got to be free



John Lennon said that

And I believe in love

I believe in action

When push comes to shove



"Who cares what you believe,"

Said the captain amazed,

"If you stood in my shoes

Your eyes would be glazed"



So my fair damsel (Greendale)

Won't you take your leave (Greendale)

Are you headed for the country (Greendale)

Where you wear the green sleeve (Greendale)



And the children laugh (Greendale)

And the old folks sing (Greendale)

And the church bells toll (Greendale)

For a miraculous thing (Greendale)



Where the big red furnace (Greendale)

Just glows and glows (Greendale)

Where the big heart beats (Greendale)

Where the big wheel rolls (Greendale)

BRYAN FERRY lyrics - That's How Strong My Love Is

If I was a songbird way up there

I'd go with love most everywhere

I'll be the moon when the sun goes down

Just to let you know that I'm still around

That's how strong my love is, that's how strong my love is

That's how strong my love is, that's how strong my love is



I'd be the weeping willow drowning in my tears

And you could go swimming when you're here

And I'd be the rainbow after the tears are gone

Wrap you in my colors, keep you warm

That's how strong my love is, that's how strong my love is

That's how strong my love is, that's how strong my love is



I'd be the ocean so deep and wide

And get all the tears whenever you cried

And I'd be the breeze after the storm is gone

To try your eyes and wrap you warm

That's how strong my love is, that's how strong my love is

That's how strong my love is, that's how strong my love is

That's how strong my love is, that's how strong my love is



So much love, so much love

That's how strong my love is

Any kind of love you want, I would get for you

Any kind of love, any kind of love

That's how strong my love is...that's how it is

THE SCORPIONS lyrics - Speedy's Coming

(Rudolf Schenker, Klaus Meine)



You look at a poster

You look at the wall

The wall in the room where you live

Where you live with your stars

Just listen to his records

Now hear what he says

For he says, "I love you little girl

Come to see me today"



Speedy's Coming

You live in his heart

Speedy's Coming

You live in his heart



You like Alice Cooper

You like Ringo Starr

You like David Bowie

And friends in the Royal Albert Hall

Stick up the pictures, movies, TV

And I'll bring you the show little girl

Come to see me today



Speedy's Coming

You live in his heart

Speedy's Coming

You live in his heart



You like Alice Cooper

You like Ringo Starr

You like David Bowie

And friends in the Royal Albert Hall

Stick up the pictures, movies, TV

And I'll bring you the show little girl

Come to see me today



Speedy's Coming

You live in his heart

Speedy's Coming

You live in his heart

Speedy's Coming

You live in his heart

Speedy's Coming

You live in his heart

ELVIS COSTELLO lyrics - Harry Worth

I met them first on their wedding night

Faces were flushed by their pledges plight

We passed in the hall and I met them well

But as their carriage arrived, I found that I couldn't quite tell them



It's not very far from tears to mirth

There are not many moments that will capture your breath

It's not very long that you spend on this earth

She'd never know just what Harry was worth

She'll never know



He walked the wet sands of summertime

Rain beat the window in drummertime

Cruel with his humour

She was quick with her tongue

But though a year had passed

The honeymoon didn't last

Somehow they didn't seem young



It's not very far from tears to mirth

There are not many moments that will capture your breath

It's not very long that you spend on this earth

She'd never know just what Harry was worth

She'll never know



They're on their holidays

But they still find a reason to fight

No matter how long they stay

Can't make the rest of the year right



Five years had passed 'til I happened along

He said, "Do you hear that noise? Well, that once was our song"

I looked in her eyes and saw barely a spark

He laughed too loud then he drank until dark



It's not very far from tears to mirth

It's not many moments that will capture your breath

It's not very long that you spend on this earth

She'd never know just what Harry was worth

She'll never know what Harry was worth

She'll never know what Harry was worth

No, she'll never know what Harry was worth

She'll never know what Harry was worth

No, she'll never know what Harry was worth

She'll never know what Harry was worth

BACHMAN-TURNER OVERDRIVE lyrics - Away From Home

Early in the morning

When the sun begins to shine

You will see this poor boy

Leavin', leavin' love behind

Seems it's just another day

Guess I'm goin' another way

Away from home



She was the cause of all the grief you see me wearin'

Nobody thought that we would ever split apart

Seems it was an open door

One that I've been thru before

Away from home away, away from home

Away, away, I must go



I've done some livin' and for sure I'll do some dyin'

Her kind of woman almost makes me give up tryin'

Packed up everything I own, strapped it on my back

I'm goin' away from home, away, away from home

Seems what I've been looking for wasn't just an open door

I must go away, away from home



So movin' on along, I'll go

This old road is all I know, go

Away, away from home

Seems what I've been looking for wasn't just an open door

I must go away, away from home

So movin'on along I'll go



Aaaway hey hey away from home

Away from home, away from home, away from home

Away from home away away

Down the road, down the road, the way I'm goin'

Away from home, Away from home

Down the road, down the road

Away from home

[etc.]

ELLA FITZGERALD lyrics - Let's Fall In Love

We might have been meant for each other

To be or not to be, let our hearts discover

I have a feeling, it's a feeling I'm concealing - I don't know why

It's just a mental, incidental, sentimental - alibi

But I adore you, so strong for you

Why go on stalling, I am falling, love is calling - why be shy

Let's fall in love

Why shouldn't we fall in love

Our hearts are made of it, let's take a chance

Why be afraid of it

Let's close our eyes

And make our own paradise

Little we know of it, still we can try

To make a go of it

We might have been meant for each other

To be or not to be, let our hearts discover

Let's fall in love

Why shouldn't we fall in love

Now is the time for it, while we are young

Let's fall in love

W. A.S. P. lyrics - Skin Walker

(Lawless)



Show me once more, I cannot hide

Cause I am here now but I'm lost inside

Voices I hear but cannot see

Cause I will never be free

No good, darkened through, I walk this line

Skin walk my darkness, skin me alive

Two in me we can see who we are

Take me and rape me alone in the dark

Two inside there's a scream in my ear

Skin walk my head ain't no way out of here

Is there no corner where I can hide?

To suffer in the silence of my mind

Two in me we can see who we are

In my dark cranium

No good, darkened through, I walk this line

Skin walk my darkness, skin me alive

Two in me we can see who we are

Take me and rape me alone in the dark

Two inside there's a scream in my ear

Skin walk my head ain't no way out of here

Oh try to scream but I can't speak

Silent tongue of deceit

Oh the torture don't stop

My head's chained to the rock

Can you help me?

When I awake dreams have closed my eyes

Dancing shadows, black in my mind

It crawls my skin where I cannot see

Will I ever be free?

Two in me we can see who we are

Take me and rape me alone in the dark

Two inside there's a scream in my ear

Skin walk my head ain't no way out of here











ONE TRIBE

*Lawless



Gimme peace, gimme hope

Gimme love, love

Just one life to be free

Just one world live in peace

One love, love

Cause in a sea, feed my soul

Save one world, save us all

One love, love

Lift my hands, raise my heart

I touch the sky, the face of God

Rain all your love down on us all

Show me peace, show me love

I'll still see only one

One love, love

Rain you love down on me

Fill my soul, set me free

Give me love, love











LONG WAY TO THE TOP

*Scott, Young, Young



Rolling down the highway, going to a show

Stopping on the by ways, playing rock n roll

Getting robbed, getting stoned

Getting beat up, broken boned

Getting had, getting took

I tell you folks, it's harder than it looks

It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock n roll

It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock n roll

If you think it's easy doing one night stands

Try playing in a rock n roll band

It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock n roll

Hotel motel, make you wanna cry

Baby's on the hard sell, know the reason why

Getting old, getting grey

Getting ripped off, underpaid

Getting sold, second hand

That's how it goes playing in a band

It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock n roll

It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock n roll

If you wanna be a star of stage and screen

Look out it's rough and mean

It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock n roll

Gotta tell ya

It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock n roll

It's a long way, it's a long way, it's a long way











WHOLE LOTTA ROSIE

*Scott, Young, Young



Wanna tell you a story

Bout a woman I know

When it comes to lovin'

Oh, she steals the show

Ain't exactly pretty

Bitch ain't exaclty small

14-39-56

You can say she's got it all

Never met a woman

Never met a woman like you

Doin' all the things

Doin' all the things you do

Ain't no fairy story

Ain't no skin and bone

But you give it all you got

Weighin' in at nineteen stone

You're a whole lot of woman

A whole lot of woman

Whole lotta Rosie

You're a whole lotta woman

Oh honey you can do it

Do it to me all night long

Only one that turns

Only one that turns me on

All through the night-time

All around the clock

Too much advising

Don'tcha never stop

She's a whole lot of woman

A whole lot of woman

Whole lotta Rosie

You're a whole lotta woman

DENIECE WILLIAMS lyrics - Let's Hear It For The Boy

My baby, he don't talk sweet

He ain't got much to say

But he loves me, loves me, loves me

I know that he loves me anyway



And maybe he don't dress fine

But I don't really mind

'Cause every time he pulls me near

I just wanna cheer



Let's hear it for the boy

Let's give the boy a hand

Let's hear it for my baby

You know you gotta understand

Maybe he's no Romeo

But he's my loving one-man show

Whooa, whooa, whooa-oh

Let's hear it for the boy



My baby may not be rich

He's watching every dime

But he loves me, loves me, loves me

We always have a real good time



And maybe he sings off-key

But that's all right by me, yeah

'Cause what he does, he does so well

Makes me wanna yell



Let's hear it for the boy

Aaaah, let's give the boy a hand

Let's hear it for my baby

You know you gotta understand

Oh-oh-oh, maybe he's no Romeo

But he's my loving one-man show

Whooa, whooa, whooa-oh

Let's hear it for the boy



[Instrumental Interlude]



'Cause every time he pulls me near

I just wanna cheer

Let's hear it for the boy

Aaaah, let's give the boy a hand

Let's hear it for my baby

You know you gotta understand

Maybe he's no Romeo

But he's my loving one-man show

Whooa, whooa, whooa-oh

Let's hear it for the boy....

CARLY SIMON lyrics - As Time Goes By

(Herman Hupfeld)



You must remember this

A kiss is still a kiss

A sigh is just a sigh

The fundamental things apply

As time goes by

And when two lovers woo

They still say I love you

On that you can rely

The world will always welcome lovers

As time goes by



Moonlight and lovesongs never out of date

Hearts full of passion, jealousy and hate

Woman needs man

And man must have his mate

That no one can deny



It's still the same old story

The fight for love and glory

A case of do or die

The world will always welcome lovers

As time goes by

JOHNNY CASH lyrics - Old Account Was Settled Long Ago

(F. M. Graham)



Long ago (down on my knees)

Long ago (I setted it all)

Yes, the old account was settled long ago; (Hallelujah!)

And the record's clear today,

For He washed my sins away,

When the old account was settled long ago.

There was a time on earth,

When in the book of Heav'n

An old account was standing

For sins yet unforgiv'n;

My name was at the top,

And many things below,

I went unto the keeper,

And settled long ago.



Long ago (down on my knees)

Long ago (I setted it all)

Yes, the old account was settled long ago; (Hallelujah!)

And the record's clear today,

For He washed my sins away,

When the old account was settled long ago.

The old account was large,

And growing ev'ry day,

For I was always sinning,

And never tried to pay;

But When I looked ahead,

And saw such pain and woe,

I said that I would settle,

I settled long ago.



Long ago (down on my knees)

Long ago (I setted it all)

Yes, the old account was settled long ago; (Hallelujah!)

And the record's clear today,

For He washed my sins away,

When the old account was settled long ago.

When in that happy home,

My Saviour's home above,

I'll sing redemption's story,

And praise Him for His love;

I'll not forget that book,

With pages white as snow,

Because I came and settled,

And settled long ago.



Long ago (down on my knees)

Long ago (I setted it all)

Yes, the old account was settled long ago; (Hallelujah!)

And the record's clear today,

For He washed my sins away,

When the old account was settled long ago.

STING lyrics - Roxanne

Roxanne

You don't have to put on the red light

Those days are over

You don't have to sell your body to the night



Roxanne

You don't have to wear that dress tonight

Walk the streets for money

You don't care if it's wrong or if it's right



Roxanne

You don't have to put on the red light



I loved you since I knew you

I wouldn't talk down to you

I have to tell you just how I feel

I won't share you with another boy

I know my mind is made up

So put away your make up

Told you once I won't tell you again

It's a bad way



Roxanne

You don't have to put on the red light

Roxanne

You don't have to put on the red light

JOHN DENVER lyrics - Mr. Bojangles

(Walker)



Knew a man, Bojangles, and he danced for you in worn out shoes.

Silver hair, ragged shirt and baggy pants, the old soft shoe.

He jumped so high, he jumped so high, then he'd lightly touch down.

Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles, dance.



Met him in a cell, in New Orleans it was, down and out.

He looked to me to be the eyes of age as he spoke right out.

He talked of life, he talked of life. He laughed, slapped his leg and stared.

He said his name, Bojangles, and he danced a lick across the cell.

He grabbed his pants and took a stance and he jumped so high, he clicked his heels.

He let go a laugh, he let go a laugh, shook his clothes all around.

Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles, dance.



He danced for those at minstrel shows and county fairs throughout the South.

He spoke in tears of 15 years how his dog and him, they traveled about.

The dog up and died, he up and died. After 20 years he still grieves.

He said, I dance now at every chance and honky-tonks for drinks and tips.

But most the time I spend behind these county bars 'cause I drinks a bit.

He shook his head now, he shook his head and I heard someone ask please,

Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles, hey, Mr. Bojangles, dance.

MOTLEY CRUE lyrics - 'Til Death Do Us Part

Oh, when you look into my eyes, tell me what you see.

I don't think you'll ever realize the pride inside of me.



Oo, I've walked my walk, talked my talk and I've lived and died in my songs.

Temptation cuts so deep, it's fire still burns so strong.



You know I've lived a few mistakes and I stand by them.

Oo, it's me, myself, and I till death do us part, yeah.

Till death, till death do us part, yeah, yeah, No, no, no, no.



Yeah, sometimes my words may cut too deep and I step on a toe or two.

But I'm half dead and barely half alive, but I live by the truth.

Hey, but I live by the truth.

Til death, til death, do us part, do us part.

Hey, if you want to criticize, then you can't believe anything you read.

What you see is all of me.

Yeah, I've talked the talk, walked the walk.

Who thought I'd live this long?

Oh, this life's been hard like a switchblade, blind faith suicide.



You know I've lived a few mistakes and I stand by them.

Oo, it's me, myself, and I till death do us part, yeah.

Till death, till death do us part, yeah, yeah, No, no, no, no.



Yeah, sometimes my words may cut too deep and I step on a toe or two.

But I'm half dead and barely half alive, but I live by the truth.

Hey, but I live by the truth.

Til death, til death, do us part, do us part.

NANCI GRIFFITH lyrics - San Diego Serenade

(Tom Waits)



Never saw the morning till I stayed up all night

Never saw the sunshine till I turned out the light

Never saw my home town till I stayed away too long

I never heard the melody till I needed the song



Never saw the white line till I was leavin' you behind

Never knew I needed you till I was caught up in a bind

And I never spoke I love you till I cursed you in vain

Never felt my heart strings until I nearly went insane



Never saw the East coast until I moved to the West

I never saw the moonlight till it shone off your breast

And I never saw your heart till someone tried to steal it away

Never saw your tears till they rolled down your face



I never saw the morning till I stayed up all night

Never saw the sunshine till you turned out the light

Never saw my home town till I stayed away too long

I never heard the melody till I needed the song

THE PRETENDERS lyrics - Tattooed Love Boys

Such a drag to want something sometime

One thing leads to another I know

Was a time wanted you for mine

Nobody knew

You arrived like a day

And passed like a cloud

I made a wish, I said it out loud

Out loud in a crowd

Everybody heard

'twas the talk of the town



It's not my place to know what you feel

I'd like to know but why should i?

Who were you then, who are you now?

Common labourer by night, by day highbrow

Back in my room I wonder, then i

Sit on the bed, look at the sky

Up in the sky

Clouds rearrange

Like the talk of the town



Maybe tomorrow, maybe someday

Maybe tomorrow, maybe someday

You've changed your place in this world

You've changed your place in this world



Oh but it's hard to live by the rules

I never could and still never do

The rules and such never bothered you

You call the shots and they follow

I watch you still from a distance then go

Back to my room, you never know

I want you, I want you but now

Who's the talk of the town?

SUZI QUATRO lyrics - Shine My Machine

(Quatro/Tuckey)



Down in Motor City where I come from

People like their music loud

Motown was born down the east side

Detroit is the name of my town

Factory-workers, hippies and crew-cuts

Jumping up and down in their seats

In the daytime it sure looks different

But at night it's just a rock-n-roll beat



[Chorus:]

So rev my engine

Shine my machine

Drive me-pet me, baby

Fill me with Slo-Gin



Soul-brother likes his old Motown

The greaser still likes to jive

You can't knock a rocker for rockin'

It's what keeps this city alive



[Chorus]

Soul-brother likes his old Motown

The greaser still likes to jive

You can't knock a rocker for rockin'

It's what keeps this city alive



[Chorus]

PET SHOP BOYS lyrics - The Survivors

(Aaah - Aaah)



Cross a windy bridge one winter night

Past Embankment Gardens enter warmth and light

Face the music (It's never easy)

Forget the chill

Face the future (It's never easy)

Find the will



If life is worth living, it's got to be done

One might be forgiven for thinking it's a life on the run

Many roads will cross through many lives

But somehow you survive



(Oooh, aaah)



Look around, picture what's in store

Is this the final edit, or is the subject now a bore?

Don't shrug your shoulders (It's always easy)

You can't ignore



That life is worth living, it's still worth a damn

One might be forgiven for thinking it's something of a sham

Many words may make it sound contrived

But somehow we're alive



The survivors - Our heads bowed

The survivors - At memorials for other faces in the crowd



Teachers and artists (It's never easy)

And Saturday girls

In suits or sequins (It's never easy)

Or twinsets-and-pearls



If life is worth living, (If life is worth living)

It's got to be run (It's got to be run)

As a means of giving, (As a means of giving)

Not as a race (race) to be won (not to be won)

Many roads will run through many lives

But somehow we'll arrive



(Oooh, aaah, aaah)



Many roads will run through many lives

But somewhere we'll survive

ALICE IN CHAINS lyrics - All Secrets Known

Hope, a new beginning

Time, time to start living

Just like just before we died



There's no going back to the place we started from



Hurt, falling through fingers

Trust, trust in the feeling

There's something left inside



There's no going back to the place we started from

All secrets known



Calm, old wounds are healing

Strong, truth is worth saving

I want to feel alive



There's no going back to the place we started from

All secrets known

STEVE EARLE lyrics - Guitar Town

(Steve Earle)



Hey pretty baby are you ready for me

It's your good rockin' daddy down from Tennessee

I'm just out of Austin bound for San Antone

With the radio blastin' and the bird dog on

There's a speed trap up ahead in Selma Town

But no local yokel gonna shut me down

'Cause me and my boys got this rig unwound

And we've come a thousand miles from a Guitar Town



Nothin' ever happened 'round my hometown

And I ain't the kind to just hang around

But I heard someone callin' my name one day

And I followed that voice down the lost highway

Everybody told me you can't get far

On thirty-seven dollars and a jap guitar

Now I'm smokin' into Texas with the hammer down

And a rockin' little combo from the Guitar Town



Hey pretty baby don't you know it ain't my fault

I love to hear the steel belts hummin' on the asphalt

Wake up in the middle of the night in a truck stop

Stumble in the restaurant wonderin' why I don't stop



Gotta keep rockin' why I still can

I gotta two pack habit and a motel tan

But when my boots hit the boards I'm a brand new man

With my back to the riser I make my stand

And hey pretty baby won't you hold me tight

We're loadin' up and rollin' out of here tonight

One of these days I'm gonna settle down

And take you back with me to the Guitar Town

EDDIE RABBIT lyrics - Suspicious

I'm so glad that I met you, baby

And I'm so proud when we walk down the street

And I know it's crazy, to worry like I do

But I get this feeling that I'm losing you



I get these, suspicions

Even though I know that you love me, baby

And I really shouldn't feel this way

Suspicions, I can't help it

You're just so good looking

I'm afraid somebody's

Gonna steal you away from me



When I go out to a party with you

You always turn every head in the room

And I just know, what's on every man's mind

I try to fight it but it gets me sometimes



I get these, suspicions

Even though I know that you love me, baby

And I really shouldn't feel this way

Suspicions, I can't help it

you're just so good looking

I'm afraid somebody's

Gonna steal you away from me



[Instrumental Interlude]



Oooooh, Suspicions



When I'm with you I feel so satisfied

The way you touch me when you lay by my side

That look you get, in your eyes when we love

Makes me hate myself for what I'm thinking of



I get these, suspicions

Even though I know that you love me, baby

And I really shouldn't feel this way

Suspicions, I can't help it

You're just so good looking

I'm afraid somebody's

Gonna steal you away from me



Suspicions

Even though I know that you love me, baby

And I really shouldn't feel this way

Suspicions, I can't help it

You're just so good looking

I'm afraid somebody's

Gonna steal you away from me



Suspicions

Even though I know that you love me, baby

And I really shouldn't feel this way...
