JIMMY BUFFETT lyrics - The Night I Painted The Sky



I came from the north

Escaping convention

Modern invention that won't let me be

To the shores of St. Martin

With my fiction addiction

To restart the fire

A dreamer's remedy



Independence Day

And all I remember

Was a midnight rainbow

That fell from the sky

As I stand on the beach

I slowly surrender

To the child in me

That can't say goodbye



The rockets in the air

And the people everywhere

Put away their differences for a while

Oh I am still a child

When it comes to something wild

Oh that was the night

I painted the sky



I dug in the sand

Like a boy on a mission

And there in my hands

A pyro's delight



If un bombardier

A night time magician

I sparked the sky

As the rockets fly from view



The rockets in the air

And the people everywhere

Put away their differences for a while

Yes I am still a child

When it comes to something wild

Oh that was the night

I painted the sky



Oh the mortars they roar

In anticipation

Proceeding the sigh

Of the uplifted eyes

It showers us all

In sulfuric sensation

The colors shine

And a fiery rhyme tonight



The rockets in the air (Ooooh...)

And the people everywhere

Won't you put away your differences for a while

I am but a child

When it comes to something wild

Oh that was the night

That was the night

Oh that was the night

I painted the sky

Painted the sky

Painted the sky


METALLICA lyrics - Whiplash



(James Hetfield / Lars Ulrich)



Late at night all systems go

You have come to see the show

We do our best You're the rest

You make it real you know

There is a feeling deep inside

That drives you fuckin' mad

A feeling of a hammerhead

You need it oh so bad



Adrenaline starts to flow

You're thrashing all around

Acting like a maniac

Whiplash



Bang your head against the stage

Like you never did before

Make it ring Make it bleed

Make it really sore

In a frenzied madness

with your leather and your spikes

Heads are bobbing all around

It is hot as hell tonight



Adrenaline starts to flow

You're thrashing all around

Acting like a maniac

Whiplash



Here on the stage the Marshal noise

is piercing through your ears

It kicks your ass kick your face

Exploding feeling nears

Now is the time to let it rip

To let it fuckin' loose

We are gathered here to im and kill

Cause this is what we choose



Adrenaline starts to flow

You're thrashing all around

Acting like a maniac

Whiplash



The show is through the metal is gone

It is time to hit the road

Another town Another gig

Again we will explode

Hotel rooms and motorways

Life out here is raw

But we will never stop

We will never quit

cause we are Metallica



Adrenaline starts to flow

You're thrashing all around

Acting like a maniac

Whiplash

TOM JONES lyrics - Who's Gonna Take You Home Tonight



There's a place you go after dark

Where you sell your haunted heart

In the shadows you look for the friend

Who'll take you where the sidewalks ends



And it's a sad affair

You reach out but no one's there



Tell me who's gonna take you home tonight

Take your hand and hold you tight

Who'll be the one to make it right

And promise you paradise

Tell me who's gonna take you home tonight

Turn the darkness into light

And wipe away the tears you cry

Just another stranger

Will be taking you home tonight



You couldn't see that love was the price

What happened to the light in your eyes

Broken dreams fall at your feet

You stand alone on a dead end street



So who's gonna hear you prayer

Look around there's no one there

He'll tell you dreams come true

And take you to some rented room

But when the blinds are drawn

Another angel will fall



I guess it's in your blood

One love just ain't enough

Tell me who's gonna take you home tonight

Take your hand and hold you tight

Who'll be the one to make it right

And promise you paradise

Tell me who's gonna take you home tonight

Turn the darkness into light

And wipe away the tears you cry

Just another stranger

Will be taking you home tonight

FRANK SINATRA lyrics - Old Devil Moon



(E. Y. Harburg, B. Lane)



[Recorded July 18, 1963, Los Angeles]



I look at you and suddenly, something in your eyes I see;

Soon begins bewitching me.

It's that old devil moon that you stole from the skies.

It's that old devil moon in your eyes.

You and you glance make this romance too hot to handle.

Stars in the night, blazing their light can't hold a candle;

To your razzle-dazzle.

You've got me flyin' high and wide, on a magic carpet ride;

Full of butterflies inside.

Wanna cry, wanna croon, wanna laugh like a loon.

It's that old devil moon in your eyes.

Just when I think, I'm free as a dove.

Old devil moon, deep in your eyes, blinds me with love.


JOAN ARMATRADING lyrics - Moves



Here come the glare

Here come the glare

I cannot see

I cannot see

When you appear

You dazzle



Poor me

Pity on me

Why don't I know

How to make those moves

I picked your face

From a thousand smiles



And now the knees

They start to shake

And all the people

Take a look

And once again

I'm thinking



Poor me

Pity on me

Why don't I know

How to make those moves

I picked your face

From a thousand smiles



And stand there

Vacant

Rooted to the stupid floor

And too scared to think

Get out the door



Water

Running

Down my back

Is this what it's like

Before the soldiers attack



I'm gonna shapen up my act

I'm gonna get ya



Poor me

Pity for me

Why don't I know

How to make those moves

I picked your face

From a thousand smiles



Trying to be

The invisible man

And so scared

In case you don't see

Who I am



I don't want the label

Of an also ran

With the flowers

And champagne



Other guys

Run around

They pick and choose

I chose you

And I don't want to lose



I want you

To alleviate my blues

Just as long as you talk to me

Just as long as you talk to



Poor me

Pity on me

Why don't I know

How to make those moves

I picked your face

From a thousand smiles

Why don't I know

How to make you smile


DEAN MARTIN lyrics - I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm



The snow is snowing and the wind it is blowing

But I can weather the storm

What do I care how much it may storm

I've got my love to keep me warm



I cannot remember the worst December

Just watch the icicles form

What do I care if icicles form

I've got my love to keep me warm



Off with my overcoat off with my gloves

Who needs an overcoat I'm burning with love

My heart's on fire and the flame grows higher

So I will weather the storm

What do I care how much it may storm

I've got my love to keep me warm



I thought you ought to know my heart's on fire

The flame it just leaps higher

So I will weather the storm

Why do I care how much it storms

I've got my love

To keep me warm

I've got my love to keep me warm

GENE PITNEY lyrics - It Hurts To Be In Love



(Howie Greenfield and Helen Miller)



It hurts to be in love

When the only one you love

Turns out to be someone who's

Not in love with you

It hurts to love her so

When deep down inside you know

She will never want you

No matter what you do



And so you cry a little bit

(It hurts to be in love)

Ah, I die a little bit

(It hurts to be in love)

Day and night, night and day

It hurts to be in love this way



How long can I exist

Wanting lips I've never kissed

She gives all her kisses

To somebody else

She thinks I'm just a friend

Though it hurts I must pretend

The only way to keep her

Is to keep it to myself



And so I cry a little bit

(It hurts to be in love)

Oh, I die a little bit

(It hurts to be in love)

Day and night, night and day

It hurts to be in love this way



[Instrumental Interlude]



And so I cry a little bit

(It hurts to be in love)

Oh, I die a little bit

(It hurts to be in love)

Day and night, night and day

It hurts to be in love this way



It hurts to be in love

Day and night, night and day

It hurts to be in love

Night and day, day and night

It hurts to be in love

Day and night, night and day


VINCE GILL lyrics - One Bright Star



(John Barlow Jarvis)



Long, long ago

In a world dark and cold

The night so still

Winter's chill

One bright star was shining



On a bed made of hay

In a manger he lay

The shepards came

They knew his name

King of kings, a brand new day



They saw the light in the darkness

It shines on us in tenderness

It brings out the hope that's in all of us

May it shine its light on you this Christmas night



On this Christmas day

May that star light your way

This Christmas Eve

I still believe

That same star still shines on me



I saw the light in the darkness

It shines on us in tenderness

It brings out the hope that's in all of us

May it shine its light on you this Christmas night



May it shine its light on you this Christmas night


BON JOVI lyrics - Social Disease



You can read it in the papers

In some places it comes in thirty-two flavors

But you wouldn't tell no one

Your favorite if you could



From the White House to the alleys

From the President down to Long Tall Sally

Can't live with it but

You'll die without it - yes you would



Senorita's in the kitchen

She's a fistful of dynamite

You call 911 but you

Can't stop the fun tonite, it's alright



[Chorus:]

You can't start a fire without a spark

But there's something that I guarantee

You can't hide when infection starts

Because love is a social disease



Where you look you can find it

Try to run but you're always behind it

So you play hide and seek like a blind kid

Till you're caught - yeah you're caught



So you'll say that you had some

But they took it and held it for ransom

Were they tall, dark, skinny or

Handsome - you won't talk



So you telephone your doctor

Just to see what pill to take

You know there's no prescription

Gonna wipe this one away



[Chorus]



So full of high grade octane

She could run the bullet train on 38 double d's

Now you know for sure, you know the cure

To make a blind man see

JACKSON 5 / THE JACKSONS lyrics - Pride And Joy



(Norman Whitfield / Marvin Gaye / William Stevenson)



You are my pride and joy

And I just love you, little darlin'

Like a baby boy loves his toy

You've got kisses sweeter than honey

And I work every day to give you all I know

And that's why you're my pride and joy



And I'm tellin' the world

You're my (pride and joy) pride and joy (pride and joy)

I believe I'm no (baby boy) baby boy (baby boy)

But I know you're mine (pride and joy)

My pride and joy (pride and joy)

Yeah baby (baby boy) Yeah baby (baby boy)



You, you are my pride and joy

And a love like mine, yeah baby

Is something nobody can ever destroy

You pick me up (pick me up) when I'm down (when I'm down)

And when we go out, pretty baby

You shake up the whole town (whole town)

And that's why (that's why)

I believe you're my (you're my) pride and joy (pride and joy)



[Repeat and fade:]

(Pride and joy) [4x] (baby boy) [2x]

(Pride and joy) My pride and joy (pride and joy)

And I love you like a baby loves his toy (pride and joy)


KINGDOM COME lyrics - Too Late



You're the one, who hides behind your own disguise

You think one of you belongs in every home

I'm the one you blinded, when we were alone

You can't see it's just for you I sing this song



Even though you're crying now, you don't know why

It's obvious, the harmony is already gone

Can't go back, we're wasting time the deed is done

See you later, I don't need you hanging on



Too late, I know your name

We just have lost the spark you played, heavyweight

Much too late, there is no more time, you know

You're not so precious, that I can't let go



Constantly assuring me that I'm the one

While you telling others what a fool I am

Now you finally figuered out, that you were wrong

Can't undo the scars, but now the pain is gone



The well is dry, time to say good bye

You did me wrong, thought I play along

I want out, now, cause you're not what I need

Get away, get away, no one like you is gonna make me bleed



The fire is gone, we've lost the spark

Now I know your name


VINCE NEIL lyrics - Set Me Free



[Originally by Sweet]



Gagged, ball and chained

Feel just the same

Heads on the wall

Maybe you're just playing games

Set me free

Mauled by a hound

Hangin' around

Is this for real

I don't know when I'll be found

Set me free



Set me free

Set me free - from you



Taken by force

By you of course

Far from my bed

I know I'd rather be dead

Set me free



Set me free

Set me free - from you



Fire in my brain

Burn me insane

Making your mark

Don't leave me here in the dark

Set me free

Call me a saint

That's what I ain't

Inside my head

Maybe I'll feel better dead

Set me free



Set me free

Set me free - from you

BEACH BOYS lyrics - Drive-In



(Brian Wilson)



Ooo wah

Ooo wah



Everytime I have a date there's only one place to go

That's to the drive in

It's such a groovy place to talk and maybe watch a show

Down at the drive in



Forget about the plot, it'll do very well

But make sure you see enough so you're prepared to tell

About the drive in

(Ooo wah)

I love the drive in

(We love the drive in, we love the drive in)



If the windows get fogged you'll have to take a breath

(Oooooooo waah oooo)

Down at the drive in

(Wah wah ooooooo)

Or the cat dressed in white will scare you both to death

Down at the drive in



A big buttered popcorn and an extra large coke

A few chili dogs and man I'm goin' broke

Down at the drive in

(Ooo wah)

Yeah at the drive in

(We love the drive in, we love the drive in)



Don't sneak your buddies in the trunk 'cause they might get caught

By the drive in

(Wah wah wah ooooooo)

And they'd look kinda stupid gettin' chased through the lot

(Wah ooooooo)

Around the drive in



If you say you watch the movie you're a couple o' liars

And "Remember only you can prevent forest fires"

Down at the drive in

(Ooo wah)

I love the drive in

(We love the drive in, we love the drive in)

Down at the drive in

(Ooo wah)

I love the drive in

(We love the drive in, we love the drive in)

Down at the drive in

(Ooo wah)

I love the drive in

(We love the drive in, we love the drive in)


MOODY BLUES lyrics - You And Me



There's a leafless tree in Asia

Under the sun there's a homeless man

There's a forest fire in the valley

Where the story all began



What will be our last thought?

Do you think it's coming soon?

Will it be a comfort

Or the pain of a burning wound?



All we are trying to say

Is we are all we've got

You and me just cannot fail

If we never, never stop



You're an ocean full of faces

And you know that we believe

We're just a wave that drifts around you

Singing all our hopes and dreams

We look around in wonder

At the work that has been done

By the visions of our father

Touched by his loving son



All we are trying to say

Is we are all we've got

You and me just cannot fail

If we never, never stop

All we are trying to say

Is we are all we've got

You and me just cannot fail

If we never, never stop

You and me just cannot fail

If we never, ever, never, ever stop...


PATTI SMITH lyrics - 25th Floor / High On Rebellion



We explore the men's room.

We don't give a shit.

Ladies' lost electricity;

take vows inside of it.



Desire to dance;

Too startled to try.

Wrap my legs 'round you,

starting to fly.



Let's explore

up there, up there, up there,

on the twenty-fifth floor.



Circle all around me,

coming for the kill, kill, kill

oh kill me baby

like a kamikaze

heading for a spill.

oh but it's all spilt milk to me.



Desire to dance;

Too startled to try.

Wrap my legs 'round you,

starting to fly.



Let's soar

up there, up there, up there,

on the twenty-fifth floor.



We do not eat

flower of creation.

We do not eat,

eat anything at all.

Love is, love was, love is a manifestation.

I'm waiting for a contact to call.

Love's war. Love's cruel.

Love's pretty, love's pretty cruel tonight.

I'm waiting here to refuel.

I'm gonna make contact tonight.

Love in my heart.

The night to exploit.

Twenty-five stories over Detroit,

and there's more

up there, up there, up there.



stoned in space. zeus. christ. it has always been rock and so it is and so it shall be.

Within the context of neo rock we must open up our eyes and seize and rend the veil of smoke which man calls order.

Pollution is a necessary result of the inability of man to reform and transform waste.

the transformation of waste

the transformation of waste

the transformation of waste is perhaps the oldest pre-occupation of man. man being the chosen alloy,

He must be reconnected via shit, at all cost. inherent with(in) us is the dream of the task of the alchemist to create from the clay of

And to re-create from excretion of man pure and then soft and then solid gold.



all must not be art. some art we must disintegrate.

i feel it feeling no pain

i'm waiting above for you baby

i know that I'll see you up there

i'm floating in a door backward

i'm waiting above in the sky, dear

LUTHER VANDROSS lyrics - What The World Needs Now



What the world needs now

Is love, sweet love

It's the only thing

That there's just too little of



What the world needs now

Is love, sweet love

No not just for some

But for everyone



Lord we don't need another mountain

There are mountains and hillsides

Enough to climb

There are oceans and rivers

Enough to cross

Enough to last

Till the end of time



What the world needs now

Is love, sweet love

No not just for some

But for everyone

Lord we don't need another meadow

There are cornfields and wheatfields

Enough to grow

And there are sunbeams and moonbeams

Enough to shine

So listen, Lord

If you want to know



What the world needs now

Is love, sweet love

It's the only thing

That there's just too little of



What the world needs now

Is love, sweet love

No not just for some

But for everyone



More love, uhh, more love

Everybody know that

(the world needs love)

Everybody, Everybody knows that

(this world needs love)

This world, the whole world

(the whole world needs love)

The whole world, the whole world

(more love, more lovin')

There's not enough...

THE KINKS lyrics - King Kong



I'm King Kong and I'm ten feet long,

Got a big six gun and everybody is scared.

I can blow up your houses so you better beware.



Everybody wants power,

Everybody wants money.

BLIND GUARDIAN lyrics - Otherland



They rule the land

They are in command

They hold all strings in hand

They are invisible

Out of sight

They've designed

A secret place

To play their games

A world they're in control

Divine law

Divine law

Be aware

Now

Mind your steps

We are uninvited guests

They may find and catch us

Don't forget

Do what I say

Now connect

Don't even ask

Until we're out of it

Everything's at highest stake

Come take a look

We are in

Take a breath

But don't forget

It isn't real

It isn't true

An illusion

Nothing more



You're part of the game

You're slave to the grind

Oblivion

Is your key to the Otherland

You're part of the game

You're cursed

You're damned

By now you understand



You're part of the game

You're slave to the grind

Oblivion

You're welcome to the

Otherland

You' re part of the game

You're cursed

You're damned

By now you understand



We get closer

There's no better way

Lullaby Lane

Fate is on its way



The inner district

Is the place you need to know

It's overwhelming

So let's rest here for a while



Someone else appears

Silently

Watch me when I fall down

Everything seems real

Suddenly

A perfect simulation



Come take a look

Breathe it in

Artificial wonderlands

We are wandering around

Things shall vanish

They won't last

Now I know

You understand

This world is not true

Nothing is real

Nothing at all

It's bits and pieces

We walk through



You're part of the game

You're slave to the grind

Oblivion

Is your key to the Otherland

You're part of the game

You're cursed

You're damned

By now you understand



You're part of the game

You're slave to the grind

Oblivion

You've reached the promised land

You're part of the game

You're cursed

You're damned

Welcome to the Otherland



Wait

I can feel things are not right

Do not breathe

Don't look behind

There's someone else

The observer



A thrick of light

A fading line

The entrance is gone

We can't get out of it

We are slightly losing ground



Quick

It is time

We shall go

We better leave

And don't come back

No way to run

Nowhere to hide

I fear

We're walking aimlessly



You're part of the game

You're slave to the grind

Oblivion

Is your key to the Otherland

You're part of the game

You're cursed

You're damned

By now you understand

You're part of the game

You're slave to the grind

Oblivion

Welcome to the Ohterland

You're part of the game

You're cursed

You're damned

You've reached

The promised land



You've crossed the line

You've reached the end


DEPECHE MODE lyrics - Behind The Wheel



My little girl

Drive anywhere

Do what you want

I don't care

Tonight

I'm in the hands of fate

I hand myself

Over on a plate

Now



Oh little girl

There are times when I feel

I'd rather not be

The one behind the wheel

Come

Pull my strings

Watch me move

I do anything

Please



Sweet little girl

I prefer

You behind the wheel

And me the passenger

Drive

I'm yours to keep

Do what you want

I'm going cheap

Tonight



You're behind the wheel tonight

DIANA ROSS lyrics - A Simple Thing Like Cry



(Nickolas Ashford/Valerie Simpson)



If it didn't hurt so bad

If it didn't hurt so bad

Maybe I could cry



If I thought it was all a joke

And you were putting me on

If I could just make a wish

And this moment would be all gone

If I could see a trace of hope

Somewhere in your eyes

Maybe then I could do

A simple thing like cry



If it didn't hurt so bad

If it didn't hurt so bad

Maybe I could cry



Don't you know I plan to spend

Every moment of my life with you

Now you're trying to tell me

That my dreams just won't come true

Thanks for giving me a million reasons why

But it hurts too bad to do

A simple thing like cry



If I thought it was all a joke

And you were putting me on

If I could just make a wish

And this moment would be all gone

If I could see a trace of hope

Somewhere in your eyes

Maybe then I could do

A simple thing like cry



If it didn't hurt so bad

If it didn't hurt me so bad

Maybe I could

If it didn't hurt so bad

Maybe I could cry

I could cry, cry

If it didn't hurt me

If I didn't love you

Hurt me


ELOY lyrics - Thoughts Of Home



Though I don't want to play with magic

There's nothing else to do

I wish that I was home again, sitting there with you

I've heard that there across the valley

lives a weird old man possessed with devilry

in secrecy

The wise magician he alone

Can find a way to take us both back home.


CHARLOTTE GAINSBOURG lyrics - Set Yourself On Fire



Now come and stand

See the sights and warm your hands

And fan the flame inside of me



Been burning all my life

So come and set my house alight

Yeah, come and set my spirit free



Now all is ashes

This moribund parade of asses

So shake it one more time for me



So take these matches off of me

And set yourself on fire



Fire



Coffee at the floor

It seemed just like the day before

The waiter went and smiled at me



The couple at the bar

He burned his britches, she burned her bra

Now somebody has burned the car



Sulphur in the air

And cracks appearing everywhere

Don't try to stop it; don't you dare



Now see,

That everything must fall that we may live again



So take these matches off of me

And set yourself on fire



Fire [3x]



Now it's so clear to me

This bonfire of the vanities

So come on everybody, scream



A purifying flame

And you and I can take the blame

A spirit that cannot be tamed



Now see,

That everything must fall that we may live again



So take these matches off of me

And set yourself on fire



Fire [7x]


LORETTA LYNN lyrics - Window Up Above



(George Jones)



I've been living a new way of life that I love so

But I can see the clouds are gathering and the storm will wreck our home

For last night she hugged you tightly and you didn't even shove

This is true for I've been watching from the window up above

You must have thought that I was sleeping oh Lord I wish that I had been

But it's best to get to know you and the way your heart can sin

I thought we belonged together and our hearts fit like a glove

But I was wrong for I've been watching from the window up above

[ piano ]

From my eyes the teardrops started as I listened on and on

Heard you whisper to her softly that our marriage was all wrong

But I hope she makes you happy and you'll never lose her love

I lost mine while I was watching from the window up above

How I wished I could be dreaming wake up to the love that's true

But I can't for I was watching from the window up above

THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS lyrics - Doctor Worm



They call me Dr. Worm.

Good morning. how are you? I'm Dr. Worm.

I'm interested in things.

I'm not a real doctor,

But I am a real worm;

I am an actual worm.

I live like a worm.



I like to play the drums.

I think I'm getting good,

But I can handle criticism.

I'll show you what I know,

And you can tell me if you think I'm getting better on the drums.

I'll leave the front un-locked 'cause I can't

Hear the doorbell



When I get into it I can't tell if you are

Watching me twirling the stick.

When I give the signal, my friend

Rabbi vole will play the solo



Some day somebody else besides me will

Call me by my stage name, they will

Call me dr worm.

Good morning how are you, I'm dr worm

I'm interested in things.

I'm not a real doctor,

But I am a real worm;

I am an actual worm.

I live like a worm.



I like to play the drums.

I think I'm getting good,

But I can handle criticism.

I'll show you what I know,

And you can tell me if you think I'm getting better on the drums.

I'm not a real doctor,

But they call me Dr. Worm.


VAN DER GRAAF GENERATOR lyrics - House With No Door



There's a house with no door and I'm living there

at nights it gets so cold

and the days are hard to bear inside.

There's a house with no roof, so the rain creeps in,

falling through my head as I try to think out time.

I don't know you, you say you know me,

that may be so,

there's so much that I am unsure of...

You call my name, but it sounds unreal,

I forget how I feel, my body's rejecting the cure.



There's a house with no bell, but then nobody calls;

I sometimes find it hard to tell

if any are alive at all outside.

There's a house with no sound; yes, it's quiet there

there's not much point in words

if there's no-one to share in time.

I've learned my lines, I know them so well,

I am ready to tell

whoever will finally come in

Of the line in my mind that's cold in the night,

it doesn't seem right

when there's that little dark figure running...



There's a house with no door

and there's no living there:

one day it became a wall...

well I didn't really care at the time.

There's a house with no light,

all the windows are sealed,

overtaxed and strained NOW NOTHING IS REVEALED BUT TIME

I don't know you, you say you know me,

that may be so,

there's so much that I am unsure of...

You call my name, but it sounds unreal,

I forget how I feel,

my body's rejecting the cure.....

Won't somebody help me......?


STEVE HACKETT lyrics - Dreaming With Open Eyes



A rainy drive on a long straight highway

Can cause time to lose it's meaning

And the mind to wander far from the act of driving

Interruptions at every curve no longer jangle against your nerves

A rainbow bridge is not far away

Now you're standing on the steps of a fountain

On a hot summer's day



Running along a tree-lined pathway

Slowing your pace until you feel

Your heart beats in rhythm to the first light of day

Now you're running down a mountain

In the cool blue shade



A waterfall where you lift your head

Colours cascade from green to red

And the fireflies that dance when the light is fading

You drift away on the night ride

With eyes that dream as much as they see

The wind in the willows winding through the grass

The drawbridge of consciousness is lifted at last



Where are you going?


WHITNEY HOUSTON lyrics - Dear John Letter



I'm sitting here

in my own head

thinking how

you can be staring in

got my number 2

and I'm writing you

contemplating on

the way we were with each of you

on the fire place

with the mailman

should I tellya

or should I hold it in

if my heart wasn't in it

baby, you can just forget it

I'd be gone in a New York minute



You never give me attention

I know you don't have bad attentions for us

so I'm writing you

but, I always fail to mention

cause you know I really don't like to fuss

so I'm gonna hold it in



I'm writing you a dear John letter

I tried to try to stay

but it never got better

I couldn't tell you face to face

but I, I have to let you know

sometimes I want to hit the door

I'm writing you dear John



sometimes I think

that I've had enough

my hand's freezing

and I can't write fast enough

I wanna get away

but I can't obey

when my heart speaks

you know I'm listening

somedays, I'm ready to jet and

somedays, I wouldn't forget and

somedays, I'm still in love with you

somedays, I'm sad and blue


KINGDOM COME lyrics - Joe English



(Rehearsal Room "Hello")



Hello, call me Joe

Got a big mouth, that I know



Used to be a problem, didn't care at all

The only ones I've listened to were John & Paul

Hello I'm just Joe



Disbelieve and hate has risen more and more

Getting out of bed, meant another war

Hello, I'm just your Joe



[Chorus:]

Pardon me for sharing planet earth with you

I didn't mean no harm

To live and let live, is what I'm trying to say

It cannot be that hard



Hello, call me joe

Got a big mouth, now you know - yeah



Once I got a six-string, I could ease my mind

She saved me lot's of trouble, kept me out of sight

Hello, yeah



All the schools around have given up on me

Being left alone is all I've asked to be

Hello, I'm just Joe



Pardon me guys, for being alive

I didn't mean no harm

To live and let live, is what I'm trying to say

It cannot so hard



Hello I'm your Joe...



Helloooooooooooooo... - aaa!!!

GEORGE HARRISON lyrics - Never Get Over You



I know I'll never get over you

So deep this feeling that I have for you

Your eyes pierce through my heart

Your smile tears me apart

I knew it, it's so true

I'll never get over you



You touch me making my heart race

So much was written on your face

I knew when you arrived

That no words could describe

What your love made me do

I'll never get over you



Girl, you're so much heart and soul

Ooh girl, was a moonlit night you came into my life

And now this feeling has grown

And if you leave me alone I know

I'll never get over you



So hide the moments when I feel blue

You warm the coldest feet

Can cool me in the heat

And although love was new

I'll never get over you

My understanding grew

But I'll never get over, never get over you

You, you


GILBERT O'SULLIVAN lyrics - Get Out Of My Life



Get out of my life now don't come home

Do what you want to do on your own

Find yourself another novelty

Besides the one and only they call me



Never in my life have I been through

Anything as bad as being with you

So before I throw the flag away

You can do if you wish bid me good day



And if by chance I should just happen to see you again

I'd probably be so surprised I'll climb a tree

And yell up why me, me



And if by chance I should just happen to see you again

I'd probably be so surprised I'll climb a tree

And yell up why me, me



Get out of my flat now don't come home

Home, home, home


THE WHO lyrics - I Need You



Knowing

Is what people tell you

That you're thinking wrong

Embrace you,

But they really mean "So long"



You talk to them

They laugh aloud

Yet they run to you

In any crowd



Please talk to me again

I need you



We're dancing

We will come and dance near you

We want to learn

Let us come and sitar with you



Distort my ears when

The music's loud

Yet you raise your hatchet

In the yellow crowd



Please talk to me again

I need you



Knowing

Is what people tell you

That you're thinking wrong

Embrace you,

But they really mean "So long"



You talk to them

They laugh aloud

Yet they run to you

In any crowd



Please talk to me again

I need you


SOCIAL DISTORTION lyrics - Live Before You Die



When pressures up and the stress is high

And I wanna bid this world good bye

I'm gonna bury my frustrations

Grab some of life's satisfactions

Yeah I'm gonna live before I die



I try to find some peace of mind

When my life's treating me unkind

Paiin will be my motivation

I'm gonna use my imagination

Yeah I'm gonna live before I die



[Chorus:]

So close your eyes, and embrace your memories

Leave your troubles and your worries far behind

Stop contemplating and start celebrating

Yeah you gotta live before you die



I think of chances I didn't take

I try to learn from my mistakes, yeah

I'm tired of being pushed around now

Life ain't gonna drag me down now

Yeah, I'm gonna live before I die



[Chorus]


BRIAN WILSON lyrics - Concert Tonite



Concert, concert tonite

Dit dit dit dit dit dit dit

Concert, concert tonite



The music's comin' at you

You know it's worth the wait

You'll lose those tired-of-workin' blues

(???)



Everybody in the human race

Everybody loves to rock the place

Let's get smokin'

Yeah prime time concert tonite



Everybody wants to feel the groove

Everybody wants their feet to move

Let's get rockin' now

Good time rockin' tonite



You've got your girl beside you

She looks like love tonight

But if your soul is hungry

Rock feeds your appetite



Everybody wants the beat to go on

Everybody needs to learn the song

Let's make music now

Let's make music tonite



Everybody set your spirit free

Everybody feel as good as me

Enjoy the concert as we go get out tonight

Everybody gotta hang loose

Everybody needs a good excuse

We're in concert so let's get crazy tonight



There's gonna be a concert tonite

There's gonna be a good time tonight

Put on your 3-D glasses tonight

We're gonna see a magic show tonight

There's sorcery and music tonight

I'm doin' it in concert tonight

Now everybody feels good tonight

And everybody looks good tonight

So turn on your love lights tonight

We're doin' it in stereo tonight

I'm wired up to you guys tonight

We'll conjure up a concert tonight



A song moves like an arrow

It's aim is always true

It don't shoot like a shadow

Let it just fly with you (???)



Everybody love the rockin' band

Everybody now clap your hands

'Cause we're violent now

Rockin' violent tonight

Rock rock rock rock rockin' tonight

Let the rhythm get in to your feet

Let it move you right outa your seat

Oh we're jumpin' now

Concert jumpin' tonight



Come, come on down

Everybody needs to put it behind

Everybody come and give me a sign

Lord have mercy on this our concert tonight

Lord have mercy tonight

Everybody needs to have some fun

Leave the concert so we can shine

Let's start crankin' now

Let's keep rockin' tonight



Woo woo hooo

Wooo wooo hooo

Wooo wooo wooo hooo

Wooo wooo hooo


STEPHEN STILLS lyrics - Do For The Others



Round, round, up and down

All along the lonely town

See him sinkin' low

Doesn't see the joy there is to know



And he cries from the misery

And he lies singin' harmony

She is gone there is no tomorrow

It is done so now he must borrow

The life of his brothers and living in sorrow

Must do for the others



A chill wind hits his face

Was that a tear I thought I saw a trace?

Loving people everywhere

Where is she? She is not there



And he cries from the misery

And he lies singin' harmony

She is gone there is no tomorrow

It is done so now he must borrow

The life of his brothers and living in sorrow

Must do for the others

TOM PETTY & THE HEARTBREAKERS lyrics - The Criminal Kind



(Tom Petty)



You got a criminal mind

You got criminal looks

Boy you better look out

You're gonna get hooked



Don't you ever feel guilty

When you come up short

Man you better be careful

You're gonna get caught



(Chorus)

'Cause you're the criminal kind

You're the criminal kind

Man what you gonna do?

Where you gonna hide?

They're callin' you a sickness, disease of the mind

Man what you gonna do?

You're the criminal kind



Don't you ever get tired?

Don't you ever want to quit?

Yeah it's been a long time, and you still don't fit

Dog tags on the mirror, hangin' down from a chain

Give up little sister, this ain't gonna change



(Chorus)



Yeah, and that little girl you used to know

Just don't come around no more

Now she ain't there to watch the door

She don't wanna die in no liquor store



I hope they all made money, I hope they all get rich

Yeah, I hope they give hell, to every son-of-a-bitch

That put a man on the carpet

Or stuck him out on the line

Whatever let him get a taste of the crminal life



(Chorus)


PANTERA lyrics - Living Through Me (Hell's Wrath)



I cannot take the take,

Your condition was nod awake

A selfish cryer, boldface liar,

Robbing all of what you could take in



Stabbed towards a death,

A dirty smelling girl

Shit decisions, no provisions,

Filling veins with juice of chaos



[Chorus:]

Painted face, olive drab, swollen hole, empty bag,

Sunken eyes, whining dog,

It's times like this you should pray for never



I broke your fucking mold

Then threw away the cast,

New religion and new provisions,

It's amazing you're alive



Drop the needle and stop what you're changing into

Erase the end dissolving, disgrace is needed more



So I mended severed ties,

Through flesh we cauterized

The undeserving, sliming, writhing,

I filled you up with watered promise



[Chorus]



[Chorus #2:]

Spitting teeth, oral lust, alley fuck,

Angel dust, anal whore, bleeding knees,

It's times like this to pray for murder

So now I've seen it all,

Hells' wrath,

No man has greater glory,

Cause now you're living through me



So I'm done with saving you,

A gift unto myself,

A tired savior, a wasted favor,

And I'm lucky I'm alive



I broke your fucking mold

Then threw away the cast



[Chorus]

[Chorus #2]

BEACH BOYS lyrics - The Little Girl I Once Knew



(Brian Wilson)



We met when she was younger

Then I had no eyes for her

A few years went by and I saw her

Now I'm gonna try for her



Look out babe



She's not the little girl I once knew

She's not the little girl I once knew

She's not the little girl I once knew

She's not the little girl I once knew



How could I ever have known that

She'd be what she is today

And look at how her boyfriend holds her

I'll be moving in one day



Split man



She's not the little girl I once knew

She's not the little girl I once knew

She's not the little girl I once knew

She's not the little girl I once knew



La doo day pow pow pow

La doo day pow pow pow

La doo day pow pow pow



She's not the little girl I once knew

She's not the little girl I once knew

She's not the little girl I once knew

She's not the little girl I once knew



She's not the little girl I once knew

She's not the little girl I once knew

She's not the little girl I once knew

She's not the little girl I once knew


SHELBY LYNNE lyrics - Reach For The Rhythm



(Shelby Lynne - Jamie O'Hara - Brent Maher)



Every now and then I get to feelin' blue

Ain't no deal baby - I get through

Well a cryin' and a moanin' just ain't my way

The blues may come, but the blues don't stay



[Chorus:]

I reach for the rhythm

And I reach for the rhythm

Well I reach for the rhythm and throw my cares away



Yes I do get crazy every now and then

About where I'm goin' or where I've been

Oh but when my life is like a stormy day

I ain't gonna let it stay that way



[Chorus]



[Bridge:]

Hey there's really nothing to it I surrender to the music

And I wind up singing along

If I can sing and I can swing

Well then there ain't too much too wrong



[Chorus]



[Bridge]



[Chorus]



Well I reach for the rhythm and throw my cares away


DANZIG lyrics - The Violet Fire



Did you know

I would come if you spoke my name

Did you lie

When you said you needed the cool

Of the night

To caress your deepest thoughts

I can hear

All the darkest things you think

I'm gonna make it easy

I'm gonna make it easy

I'm gonna make it easy

Did you smile

As i wandered in the black

Of your eyes

Now i live among the things

That we see

And the darkest things you fear

I'm gonna make it easy

I'm gonna make it easy

I'm gonna make it easy

Violet fire

Cold in your arms

Kiss me, oh

Cold violet fire

Violet fire

Cold in your arms

Kiss me, oh

Cold violet fire

I'm gonna make it easy

I'm gonna make it easy

I'm gonna make it easy

Violet fire

Cold in your arms

Kiss me, oh

Cold violet fire

Violet fire

Cold in your arms

Kiss me, oh

Violet fire

Violet fire

Cold in your arms

Kiss me, oh

Violet fire

Violet fire

Cold in your arms

Kiss me, oh

Violet fire


ELTON JOHN lyrics - Blessed



Hey you, you're a child in my head

You haven't walked yet

Your first words have yet to be said

But I swear you'll be blessed



I know you're still just a dream

your eyes might be green

Or the bluest that I've ever seen

Anyway you'll be blessed



And you, you'll be blessed

You'll have the best

I promise you that

I'll pick a star from the sky

Pull your name from a hat

I promise you that, promise you that, promise you that

You'll be blessed



I need you before I'm too old

To have and to hold

To walk with you and watch you grow

And know that you're blessed


KC AND THE SUNSHINE BAND lyrics - I Am Your Boogie Man



(H. W. Casey And R. Finch)



I'm your boogieman....that's what I am

I'm here to do whatever I can

be it early morning, late afternoon

or at midnight, it's never too soon to

want to please you, to want to keep you;

I want to do it all, all for you.

I want to be your rubber ball

I want to be the one you love most all

Oh yeah!!!

I'm your boogie man, I'm your boogie man,

turn me on

I'm your boogie man, I'm your boogie man

I'll do what you want

I'm your boogie man, I'm your boogie man

turn me on

I'm your boogie man, I'm your boogie man

I'll do what you want

I'm your boogie man, that's what I am

I'm here to do whatever I can

Be it early morning, late afternoon

or at midnight, it's never too soon to

want to take you, to want to hold you;

I want to give my all, all to you

And I want you to completely understand

just where I'm at and where I am, Oh yeah

I'm your boogie man, I'm your boogie man

turn me on, I'm your boogie man

I'm your boogie man, I'll do what you want.

I'm your boogie man, I'm your boogie man



I'm your boogie man

turn me on

I'm your boogie man, I'm your boogie man

I'll do what you want

I'm your boogie man, that's what I am

I'm here to do whatever I can

Be it early morning, late afternoon

or at midnight, it's never too soon

I want to be with you, I want to be with

you.

Yeah, we'll be together, you and me

I want to see you; ah

Get near you, I want to love you, ah

from sundown - sun up. Oh yeah.

Oh yeah!!!


BLACK SABBATH lyrics - Heaven & Hell



Sing me a song, you're a singer

Do me a wrong, you're a bringer of evil

The Devil is never a maker

The less that you give, you're a taker

So it's on and on and on, it's Heaven and Hell, oh well



The lover of life's not a sinner

The ending is just a beginner

The closer you get to the meaning

The sooner you'll know that you're dreaming

So it's on and on and on, oh it's on and on and on

It goes on and on and on, Heaven and Hell

I can tell, fool, fool!



Well if it seems to be real, it's illusion

For every moment of truth, there's confusion in life

Love can be seen as the answer, but nobody bleeds for the dancer

And it's on and on, on and on and on....



They say that life's a carousel

Spinning fast, you've got to ride it well

The world is full of Kings and Queens

Who blind your eyes and steal your dreams

It's Heaven and Hell, oh well

And they'll tell you black is really white

The moon is just the sun at night

And when you walk in golden halls

You get to keep the gold that falls

It's Heaven and Hell, oh no!

Fool, fool!

You've got to bleed for the dancer!

Fool, fool!

Look for the answer!

Fool, fool, fool!

THE VELVET UNDERGROUND lyrics - Venus In Furs



Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather

Whiplash girlchild in the dark

Comes in bells, your servant, don't forsake him

Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart

Downy sins of streetlight fancies

Chase the costumes she shall wear

Ermine furs adorn the imperious

Severin, Severin awaits you there

I am tired, I am weary

I could sleep for a thousand years

A thousand dreams that would awake me

Different colors made of tears

Kiss the boot of shiny, shiny leather

Shiny leather in the dark

Tongue of thongs, the belt that does await you

Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart

Severin, Severin, speak so slightly

Severin, down on your bended knee

Taste the whip, in love not given lightly

Taste the whip, now plead for me

I am tired, I am weary

I could sleep for a thousand years

A thousand dreams that would awake me

Different colors made of tears

Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather

Whiplash girlchild in the dark

Severin, your servant comes in bells, please don't forsake him

Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart


STEELY DAN lyrics - Don't Take Me Alive



Agents of the law

Luckless pedestrian

I know you're out there

With rage in your eyes and your megaphones

Saying all is forgiven

Mad Dog surrender

How can I answer

A man of my mind can do anything



[Chorus:]

I'm a bookkeeper's son

I don't want to shoot no one

Well I crossed my old man back in Oregon

Don't take me alive

Got a case of dynamite

I could hold out here all night

Yes I crossed my old man back in Oregon

Don't take me alive



Can you hear the evil crowd

The lies and the laughter

I hear my inside

The mechanized hum of another world

Where no sun is shining

No red light flashing

Here in this darkness

I know what I've done

I know all at once who I am



[Chorus]


FRANK SINATRA lyrics - Oh, How I Miss You Tonight



(Benny Davis, Joe Burke, Mark Fisher)



[Recorded January 17, 1962, Los Angeles]



Oh, how I miss you tonight, miss you while lights are low,

Oh, how I need you tonight, more than you'll ever know.

Each moment, though we're apart, you're never out of my heart.

But I'd rather be lonely, and wait for you only,

My dear, how I miss you tonight.



[musical interlude]



Each moment, though we're apart, you're never out of my heart.

But I'd rather be lonely, and wait for you only,

My dear, how I miss you tonight.


ANNIE HASLAM lyrics - Inside My Life



Holding on to yesterday

Meant all the world to me

Finding out that you exist

Has made a clearer day to see

Only this morning

When I realised

Sun shining through

My window open wide

Feelings that held my heart

Close to all your smiles



Living in an empty space

Surrounded by broken lies

How my meaning had been lost

Until I found you in my eyes

How could my spirit

Free itself from doubt

Holding a dream inside

That should be out

Freer than all the streams

That have flowed to the sea



[Chorus:]

If there's a moment

That belongs to me only

It must be now you are here

Inside my life

And if I can be forever

In the closeness of you

Then I'll stay

As a shadow on your mind

Left for your memories to find



Looking into sleepy eyes

Gazing across my view

Knowing that tomorrow brings

A day containing one less fool

Finding the answer

Lying in your love

Carries on living

Now that there's enough

Happiness to be found

Sharing time with our lives



[Chorus]


PETE TOWNSHEND lyrics - Classified

I'm gonna find me some land in the country far

And I'm gonna drive my lady there,

And pick up the Evening Star

When we have nothing else to do

BRIAN ENO lyrics - How Many Worlds



Thinking of a world and the light of the sun

And all the many lives that were ever begun,

Ever begun.



Our little world turning in the blue

As each day goes there's another one new,

Another one new.



How many people will we feed today,

How many lips will we kiss today,

If we wake up?



How many worlds will we ever see,

And how people can we ever be,

If we wake up?



Thinking of a world in the light of the sun

And all the many lives that were ever begun,

Ever begun.


DARYL HALL AND JOHN OATES lyrics - The Girl Who Used To Be



She's The Girl Who Used To Be

In the town that can't remember

Just a face you use to see

In a show one past September

Another child star who didn't get far

as she hoped to

She's got re-runs for memories....

She don't want sympathy

Or pity from me

She wants the chance to do it over

Just to prove that she can

There's no sympathy

Or pity from me

Just the chance to do it over

To prove that she can

She reads the want ads and haunts the bars

What she finds is next to nothing

She can push but just so far

And she's tired of being that someone

At the end of the line

She wants her day in the sun forever

Not much different from you and me....

She's The Girl Who Used To Be

In the town that can't remember


PROCOL HARUM lyrics - Power Failure



Climbing out of open windows

Crashing down from broken stairs

Keeping watch on smoking cinders

Falling over burning chairs

Tossed and crossed and screwed in transit

Broken, splintered, bruised and thrown

Badly shattered, gale force frighty

Rrushed across and shown alone

Speech reduced by poor relations

Strung from weeks of self abuse

Chopped up, churned out weeks of greazy

Spark plugs burned up, power's fused


BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN lyrics - New York City Serenade



Billy he's down by the railroad tracks

Sittin' low in the back seat of his Cadillac

Diamond Jackie, she's so intact

As she falls so softly beneath him

Jackie's heels are stacked

Billy's got cleats on his boots

Together they're gonna boogaloo down Broadway and come back home with the loot

It's midnight in Manhattan, this is no time to get cute

It's a mad dog's promenade

So walk tall or baby don't walk at all



Fish lady, oh fish lady

She baits them tenement walls

She won't take corner boys

They ain't got no money

And they're so easy

I said "Hey, baby

Won't you take my hand

Walk with me down Broadway

Well mama take my arm andК move with me down Broadway"

I'm a young man, I talk it real loud

Yeah babe I walk it real proud for you

Ah so shake it away

So shake away your street life

Shake away your city life

Hook up to the train

And hook up to the night train

Hook it up

Hook up to the train

But I know that she won't take the train, no she won't take the train

Oh she won't take the train, no she won't take the train

Oh she won't take the train, no she won't take the train

Oh she won't take the train, no she won't take the train

She's afraid them tracks are gonna slow her down

And when she turns this boy'll be gone

So long, sometimes you just gotta walk on, walk on



Hey vibes man, hey jazz man, play me your serenade

Any deeper blue and you're playin' in your grave

Save your notes, don't spend 'em on the blues boy

Save your notes, don't spend 'em on the darlin' yearlin' sharp boy

Straight for the church note ringin', vibes man sting a trash can

Listen to your junk man

Listen to your junk man

Listen to your junk man

He's singin', he's singin', he's singin'

All dressed up in satin, walkin' past the alley

He's singin', singin', singin', singin'

SHELBY LYNNE lyrics - I Don't Think So



I've heard you say a thousand times

You don't even like me

Felt your painful stabs at me

You don't even like me

How could anybody love you so

And wait on no return

As my feet dragged on the floor

My heart was hangin' limp

I've done all the giving

And I've sailed a sinking ship



Oh I don't think I'll do this anymore

I can't take your not loving me no more

Oh I don't think I'll do this

And it won't be like before

I don't have to wait on fear of your not being here no more

No I don't think I'll do this anymore



Your eyes were cold and they always will

Cut me up in pieces same ol lines

Same ol lies you cut me up in pieces

But this time somethings changed in me

I got some courage somewhere

I turned to you to remind you

You always said fair is fair


VAN MORRISON lyrics - High Summer



By the mansion on the hillside

Red sports car comes driving down the road

And pulls up into the driveway

And a story does unfold



She's standing by the rhododendrons

Where the roses are in bloom

Looking out at the Atlantic ocean

And in her head she hums this tune



Thank God the dark nights are drawing in again

'Cos high summer has got me down

I'll wait till the end of August

And get off this merry-go-round



And they shut him out of paradise

Called him Lucifer and frowned

She took pride in what God made him

Even before the angels shot him down to the ground



He's a light out of the darkness

And he wears a starry crown

If you see him, nothing will shake him

'Cos high summer has got him low down



High summer's got him lonesome

Eyen when he makes the rounds

There's been no two ways about it

High summer's got him low down



Checked in to the tiny village by the lakeside

Settled down to start a new

Far away from the politicians

And the many chosen few



Far away trom the jealousy factor

And everything that was tearing him apart

Far away from the organ grinder

And everyone that played their part



And they shut him out of paradise

Called him Lucifer and frowned

'Cos he took pride in what God made him

Eyen before the angels shot him to the ground



He's a light out of the darkness

And he wears a starry crown

If you see him nothings shaken

'Cos high summer's got him low down



High summer's on the rebound

High summer's got him low down

High summer's on the rebound

High summer's got him down, low down

High summer's on the rebound

High summer's got him low down

Low down

EMMYLOU HARRIS lyrics - Love Hurts



(Boudleaux Bryant)



Love hurts, love scars, love wounds and mars

Any heart not tough or strong enough

To take a lot of pain, take a lot of pain

Love is like a cloud holds a lot of rain

Love hurts, mmm, mmm, love hurts



I'm young I know but even so

I know a thing or two I learned from you

I really learned a lot, really learned a lot

Love is like a stove burns you when it's hot

Love hurts, mmm, mmm, love hurts



Some fools think of happiness

Blissfulness, togetherness

Some fools fool themselves I guess

But they're not fooling me

I know it isn't true, know it isn't true

Love is just a lie made to make you blue

Love hurts, mmm, mmm, love hurts


RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS lyrics - Hump De Bump



40 detectives this week

40 detectives strong

Takin' a stroll down Love Street

Strollin' is that so wrong

Can I get my co-defendant



Hump de bump doop bodu

Bump de hump doop bop

Hump de bump doop bodu



Bump de hump doop bodu

Hump de bump doop bop

Bump de hump doop bodu



Bump bump



Listen to me what I said

Try to get it through your head

A little bit of circumstance

A chance to make out



Livin' in a citadel

It's hard enough to be yourself

Waiting for the bell to toll

And I am wide awake now



Workin' the beat as we speak

Working the belle du monde

Believe in the havoc we wreak

Believin', is that so wrong

Can I get my co-dependent



Must have been a hundred miles

Any of a hundred styles

It's not about the smile you wear

But the way we make out



When I was an all aloner

Nothin' but a two-beach comber

Anybody seen the sky?

I'm wide awake now


SEALS & CROFTS lyrics - The Euphrates



(Lyrics by James Seals; music by James Seals & Dash Crofts, 1971)



Yesterday, I was born here. Tomorrow, I'll be gone.

They say there's a man now, down in Persia - down there.

Guess I'll walk, the Euphrates River.

The deep, deep river. The wide, wide river.

The long, long river. Spiritual river.

The river of life. The river of life.



Let the traces linger on. Many years have come and gone.

Oh how lonely man has been, without a trace of the Traceless Friend.



Everyday day, brings us closer. Every night, my soul sees

A worried mankind, suffering blindly.

Guess I'll walk, the Euphrates River.

The deep, deep river. The wide, wide river.

The long, long river. Spiritual river.

The river of life. The river of life.



So let the traces linger on. Many years have come and gone.

Oh how lonely man has been, without a trace of the Traceless Friend.



Yesterday, I was born here. Tomorrow, I'll be gone.

And so I'll walk, the Euphrates River.

The deep, deep river. The wide, wide river.

The long, long river. Spiritual river.

The river of life. The river of life.

DAVID CROSBY lyrics - Hero



(David Crosby and Phil Collins)



[Intro. (Synths and Percussion)]



It was one of those great stories that you can't put down at night

The hero knew what he had to do and he wasn't afraid to fight

The villain goes to jail while the hero goes free

I wish it were that simple for me



And the reason that she loved him

Was the reason I loved him too

And he never wondered what was right or wrong

He just knew, he just knew



[Instrumental (Synths and Electric Guitar)]



Shadow and shade mix together at dawn

But by the time you catch them simplicity's gone

So we sort through the pieces my friends and I

Searching through the darkness to find the breaks in the sky



And the reason that she loved him

Was the reason I loved him too

And he never wondered what was right or wrong

He just knew, he just knew



[Instrumental (Synths and Electric Guitar)]



And we wonder yes, we wonder

How do you make sense of this

When the hero kills the maiden

With his kiss, with his kiss



[Instrumental (Synths and Electric Guitar)]



Well, it was one of those great stories that you can't put down at night

The hero knew what he had to do and he wasn't afraid to fight

The villain goes to jail while the hero goes free

I wish it were that simple for me



Were that simple for me



[Ending (Synths and Electric Guitar)]


WILLIE NELSON lyrics - Sugar Moon



(Bob Wills/Cindy Walker)



When it's sugarcane time

And around about June

I'll be walkin' with my sugar

'Neath that old sugar moon



All the lovin' I missed

I'll be gettin' it soon

I'll be gettin' it from my sugar

'Neath that old sugar moon



I can see us right now

Get the calendar down

(And) Draw a circle around

The day we're heaven bound

When it's sugarcane time

And around about June

All the birds will be singin'

'Neath that old sugar moon



I can see us right now

Get the calendar down

(And) Draw a circle around

The day we're heaven bound

When it's sugarcane time

And around about June

All the birds will be singin'

'Neath that old sugar moon



When it's sugarcane time

And around about June

I'll be walkin' with my sugar

'Neath that old sugar moon


THE ROLLING STONES lyrics - This Place Is Empty



Walk right in, sit on down

And make yourself at home

Come on baby, you're just like me

And you hate to be alone



It's funny how things go around

It's crazy but it's true

This place is empty, oh so empty

It's empty without you



Come on, bare your breasts

And make me feel at home

You and me we're just like all the rest

And we don't want to be alone



It's funny how things go around

But go around they do

This place is empty, empty

So empty without you



It's empty without you



Come on, simmer down

And treat me sweet and cool

At least by now you have learned

How to love a fool



It's funny how things turn around

It's crazy but it's true

This place is empty, so empty

So empty without you

PATTI SMITH lyrics - Soul Kitchen



[Originally by The Doors]



Well, the clock says it's time to close now

I guess I'd better go now

I'd really like to stay here all night

The cars crawl past all stuffed with eyes

Street lights share their hollow glow

Your brain seems bruised with numb surprise

Still one place to go

Still one place to go



Let me sleep all night in your soul kitchen

Warm my mind near your gentle stove

Turn me out and I'll wander baby

Stumblin' in the neon groves



Well, your fingers weave quick minarets

Speak in secret alphabets

I light another cigarette

Learn to forget, learn to forget

Learn to forget, learn to forget



Let me sleep all night in your soul kitchen

Warm my mind near your gentle stove

Turn me out and I'll wander baby

Stumblin' in the neon groves



Well the clock says it's time to close now

I know I have to go now

I really want to stay here

All night, all night, all night


CHER lyrics - Holy Smoke



Where do we draw the line on what's going on

When do we take a stand and demand to know the truth

(Talk is cheap) Won't get the problem solve

(We're in too deep) Not to get it solve

We got the sun for free so explain to me



Why gas is up a dollar I gotta holler holy smoke

Ah they say atomic power could never hurt a flower

Holy smoke

Every quick solution leads to more pollution

Holy smoke

They say they found the answer breathing causes cancer

Holy smoke

All I can say is holy smoke



Why do we turn away from what's going on

We'll ever believe again in those who hide the truth

(Talk is cheap) Won't get the problem solve

(We're in too deep) Not to get it solve

Don't throw it all a way, it's easier enough to say



[Chorus:]

When gas is up a dollar everybody holler holy smoke

They say atomic power could never hurt a flower

Holy smoke

Fifty-five faster could drive us to disaster

Holy smoke

If I would just say go on and shove it

The media would love it

Holy smoke

All I can say is holy smoke



Where do we draw the line

When do we take a stand

Why do we turn away

We'll ever believe again

(Talk is cheap) Won't get the problem solve

(We're in too deep) Not to get it solve

Don't throw it all a way, it's easier enough to say



[Chorus]

JUDAS PRIEST lyrics - In Between



(Glenn Tipton)



I am love, I am hate

I'm an atheist with faith

Went my anger with a smile

I'm polite or obscene

Either whisper or I scream

I'm not quite what I seem

I'm somewhere in between



I am young in my old age

I am calm or in a rage

I'm your friend or enemy

A pacifist or at war

I am rich but I am poor

I'm all extremes

I'm nowhere in between



Wide awake

Or in a dream

Nowhere in between

Like the pulse of a machine

I'm driven to extremes



I feel the turmoil boil in me

I'm neither healthy nor diseased



I am all extremes

But I'm still in between



Say right or say wrong

Outcast yet I belong

I'm high or I'm dry

Say I am weak yet I am strong



In Between

In Between



I am my alter ego

I am subconsciously

In depth but also shallow

Or somewhere in between



Oh I know I am

Always first in line or last

I swim with sharks or drown with rats

I'll defend as I attack

My world and yours are not the same

I am in a different lane

I am not where I seem

But I'm somewhere in between



I seek revenge

As I forgive

I die to live - ah

Not afraid but scared to death

I don't fit in



In Between - all extremes


BACHMAN-TURNER OVERDRIVE lyrics - Don't Let The Blues Get You Down



Well it's the same rhythm that's played in Memphis

The face shows no pain but the beat is the same in New York

And speed is just a bird in the night

Carries sorrow as it flies no fixed flight

It's heard out there



You say your name is the same

But you're just not able to live white

You can't believe what is real

Because what's real for you, may not be right

And the alleys and streets stay the same

And you think you know what's to blame

It just ain't right



[Chorus:]

Don't let the blues get you down

Don't let the blues drag you around

The blues are gonna get ya

The blues are gonna get ya now

I said the blues are gonna get ya

The blues are gonna get you now



Well it's the same rhythm that's played in Memphis

The face is the same but the beat isn't played in New York

The people spin a web they can't see

And imagine what a world this could be

If they did things right



[Chorus]



Don't let the blues get you down

Don't let the blues drag you around

Don't let the blues get you down

The blues are gonna get ya

The blues are gonna get you now

I said the blues are gonna get you

The blues are gonna get you now

I said the blues are gonna get you

The blues are gonna get you now

Yeow


SARAH BRIGHTMAN lyrics - So Many Things



And so many things I'd forgotten

In a world that we shared

With so many things for the asking

Never asked for the madness there

Strange how I find myself

So often on a distant shore



There's only one thing that's confusing

Was it you? Was it me?

With so many questions unanswered

Or was that part of your mystery?

Strange how I find myself

So often on a distant shore



So many things I'd forgotten



So many things for the asking



Strange how I find myself

So often on a distant shore

How I find myself

So often on a distant shore


JAMES TAYLOR lyrics - Oh Baby, Don't You Loose Your Lip On Me



Oh, baby, don't you loose your lip on me.

Lord, have mercy, baby, now, don't you loose your lip on poor old loving man JT, wooo.

Now, I've tried so hard to be your good boy, good God almighty, don't you know, mama,

tell me what more, what more in this world in this whole wide world can one good boy,

just one by himself man be, no, woooo.


PETER, PAUL AND MARY lyrics - All Mixed Up



(Pete Seeger)



You know this language that we speak,

is part german, latin and part greek

Celtic and arabic all in a heap,

well amended by the people in the street

The Choctaw gave us the word "okay";

"vamose" is a word from Mexico way.

And all of this is a hint I suspect of what comes next.



[Chorus:]

I think that this whole world

Soon mama my whole wide world

Soon mama my whole world

Soon gonna be get mixed up.

Soon mama my whole world

Soon mama my whole wide world

Soon mama my whole world

Soon gonna be get mixed up.



I like Polish sausage, I like Spanish rice,

and pizza pie is also nice

Corn and beans from the Indians here

washed down by German beer

Marco Polo traveled by camel and pony,

he brought to Italy, the first macaroni

And you and I as well we're able,

we put it all on the table



[Chorus]



There were no red-headed Irishmen

before the Vikings landed in Ireland

How many Romans had dark curly hair

before they brought slaves from Africa?

No race of man is completely pure,

nor is anyone's mind, that's for sure

The winds mix the dust of every land,

and so will woman and man.



[Chorus]



This doesn't mean we will all be the same,

We'll have different faces and different names

Long live many different kinds of races

It's a difference of opinion that makes horse races

Just remember the rule about rules, brother

What could be right for one could be wrong for the other

And take a tip from La Belle France: "Viva la difference!"



[Chorus]

ROY ORBISON lyrics - (I'd Be) A Legend In My Time



(Don Gibson)



If heartaches brought fame

In loves crazy game

I'd be a legend in my time



If they gave gold statuettes

For tears and regrets

I'd be a legend in my time



But they don't give awards

And there's no praise or fame

For a heart that's been broken

Over love that's in vain



If lonliness meant world acclaim

Everyone would know my name

I'd be a legend in my time



If lonliness meant world acclaim

Everyone would know my name

I'd be a legend in my time


MADONNA lyrics - Sooner Or Later



Sooner or later you're gonna be mine,

Sooner or later you're gonna be fine.

Baby, it's time that you face it,

I always get my man.



Sooner or later you're gonna decide,

Sooner or later there's nowhere to hide.

Baby, it's time, so why waste it in chatter?

Let's settle the matter.



Baby, you're mine on a platter,

I always get my man.



But if you insist, babe, the challenge delights me.

The more you resist, babe, the more it excites me.

And no one I've kissed, babe, ever fights me again.

If you're on my list, it's just a question of when.



When I get a yen, then baby, Amen.

I'm counting to ten, and then...



I'm gonna love you like nothing you've known,

I'm gonna love you, and you all alone.

Sooner is better than later but lover,

I'll hover, I'll plan.



This time I'm not only getting, I'm holding my man.


THE SEARCHERS lyrics - Love Potion Number Nine



(Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller)



I took my troubles down to Madame Ruth

You know that gypsy with the gold-capped tooth

She's got a pad down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine

Sellin' little bottles of Love Potion Number Nine



I told her that I was a flop with chicks

I'd been this way since 1956

She looked at my palm and she made a magic sign

She said "What you need is Love Potion Number Nine"



She bent down and turned around and gave me a wink

She said "I'm gonna make it up right here in the sink"

It smelled like turpentine, it looked like India Ink*

I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink



I didn't know if it was day or night

I started kissin' everything in sight

But when I kissed a cop down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine

He broke my little bottle of Love Potion Number Nine



[Guitar Solo]



I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink



I didn't know if it was day or night

I started kissin' everything in sight

But when I kissed a cop down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine

He broke my little bottle of Love Potion Number Nine

Love Potion Number Nine

Love Potion Number Nine

Love Potion Number Nine


BONFIRE lyrics - Sweet Home Alabama



Big wheels keep on turnin'

Carry me home to see my kin

Singin' songs about the southland

I miss 'ole' 'bamy once again

and I think it's a sin



Well I heard Mr. Young sing about her

Well I heard ole Neil put her down

Well, I hope Neil Young will remember

a southern man don't need him around anyhow



CHORUS

Sweet home Alabama

where the skies are so blue

Sweet home Alabama

Lord, I'm coming home to you



In Birmingham they love the Gov'nor - Boo Boo Boo

Now we all did what we could do

Now Watergate does not bother me

does your conscience bother you - tell the truth



CHORUS



Now Muscle Shoals has got the swampers

and they've been known to pick a tune or two - yes they do

Lord they get me off so much

they pick me up when I'm feeling blue - now how about you



CHORUS

MARIAH CAREY lyrics - Now That I Know



I never knew

If I could believe in you

I thought I was just a diversion

And you were killing some time

My friends they told me

To leave you

They said you would never

Be mine

But you gave me your love

And you said I'm the one

You want for the rest of

Your life



Now that I know

That you want me for me

I can be what you want

I can be what you need

Now that I know



That your love is for real

I can finally see

This is not make believe anymore

I was afraid

It was all a masquerade

That I was only a plaything

And you would leave me behind

But now I feel so secure

By your side

I can conquer the world

I gave you my love

And I know you're the one

I want for the rest

Of my life



Now that I know

That you want me for me

I can be what you want

I can be what you need

Now that I know



That your love is for real

I can finally see

This is not make believe anymore

Now that I know

That you want me for me

I can be what you want

I can be what you need

Now that I know

That your love is for real

I can finally see

This is not make believe anymore

(I really feel it)

So much love

(I really feel it)

So much joy

(I feel it)

Sweet sweet ecstasy

'Cause you opened my eyes

And I realize

Your love is for real



Now that I know

That you want me for me

I can be what you want

I can be what you need

Now that I know

That your love is for real

I can finally see

This is not make believe anymore


STRAY CATS lyrics - Rebels Rule



(Brian Setzer)



Teenage rebels rule okay

Teenage rebel rule rule rule

Hey hey hey hey



You look like something that the cat dragged in

Yeah well you look something of an assembly line

I think it's high time you pay some rent

I'd rather leave home and live in a tent


SLAYER lyrics - Skeleton Christ



(King)



Unbound God's creation

Has grown into the sinner

Abandoned innocence

Impenitent transgressor

Escape mortality

They say your life can change

If you take God's hand

Embrace rebirth

Your cleansing's so divine

To be reborn in God's eyes



You'll never touch God's hand

You'll never taste God's breath

Because you'll never see the second coming

Life's too short to be focused on insanity

I've seen the ways of God

I'll take the devil any day

Hail Satan



[Lead - King]



Your faith has atrophied

And rots in hell's asylum

Despondence tears you down

A free-falling social stain

Escape atrocity

They say your life can change

If you take God's hand

Embrace rebirth

Your cleansing's so divine

To be reborn to God's lies



You'll never touch God's hand

You'll never taste God's breath

Because you'll never see the second coming

It's all a fuckin' mockery

No grasp upon reality

It's mind control for

Compulsory religion and the Skeleton Christ



You'll never touch God's hand

You'll never taste God's breath

Because you'll never see the second coming

I laugh at the abortion known as Christianity

I've seen the ways of God

I'll take the devil any day

Hail Satan



[Lead - King]



You'll never touch God's hand

You'll never taste God's breath

Because you'll never see the second coming

It's all a fuckin' mockery

No grasp upon reality

It's mind control for

Compulsory religion and the Skeleton Christ



[Lead - Hanneman]
