GLORIA ESTEFAN lyrics - Say

Ain't much for promises

But I'm a fool for your sweet caress

Don't mean to be obsessed

But all that I can do is guess



And when I miss you

I try to keep my head

But when I kiss you

My heart speaks out instead



And if it's someone else

I'd rather be just by myself

Your honesty would help

Right now it seems so hard to tell

Don't wanna worry, but is our love alive

I'm in a hurry, my feelings I can't hide



Say do you say, won't you say you love me

Say do you say, that you need me still

Say won't you say that we'll stay together

Say we always will



Faithfully yours my love is real babe

If that is what you want

Then I'll be there

'Cause I feel so sure this is the real thing

My heart with you will stay



Say do you say, won't you say you love me

Say do you say, that you need me still

Say won't you say that we'll stay together

Say we always will

GEORGE STRAIT lyrics - What's Going On In Your World

What's going on in your world? I hope that you're doing fine.

I just called to say there's not a day that you don't cross my mind.

I just wanted to see if you feel like me - sorry that we said goodbye.

So what's going on in your world? It sure is lonesome in mine.



[Chorus:]

Just tell me that you're happy and I'll hang up the phone.

Just tell me you don't need me anymore and I'll leave you alone.

I just wondered if you had somebody new after all of this time.

So what's going on in your world? It sure is lonesome in mine.



[Chorus]



What's going on in your world? It sure is lonesome in mine.

THE CURE lyrics - Truth, Goodness And Beauty

I've been waiting for the lies to end

Holding for the bad to go

I've been hanging for the ugliness to change

Waiting for a world too true

Holding for a world too good

Hanging for a world too beautifuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuul



Wishing for a girl too true

Hoping for a girl too good

Hungry for a girl too beautiful

All I say is a lie she sighs

Nothing I say is true

And all I do is bad she cries

Nothing I do is good

And yeh all I am is ugly

Nothing I am is beautiful at all



Don't get this world

I Don't get this girl



So look, but you wont see it

Listen, and you wont hear it

Reach out, and you wont hold it

You cant know it, but you can free it

You cant name it, but could feel it



I've been waiting for the lies to end

Holding for the bad to go

I've been hanging for the ugliness to change

Waiting for a world too true

Holding for a world too good

Hanging for a world too beautiful..



Wishing for a girl...like you

Hoping for a girl...like you

Hungry for a girl...like you

No...not like you...you

THE VELVET UNDERGROUND lyrics - I Can't Stand It

Before being a man

Livin' in a garbage pail

My landlady call me up

She tried to hit me with a mop



I can't stand it anymore more

I can't stand it anymore more

I can't stand it anymore more

But if Shelly she would just come back

It'll be allright

But if Shelly she would just come back

It'll be allright



I live with thirteen dead cats

A purple who hear spats

They're all livin in a hall

And I can't stand it anymore



I can't stand it anymore more

I can't stand it anymore more

I can't stand it anymore more

But if Shelly she would just come back

It'll be allright

But if Shelly she would just come back

It'll be allright



Before being a man

Livin' in a garbage pail

My landlady call me up

She tried to hit me with a mop



I can't stand it anymore more

I can't stand it anymore more

I can't stand it anymore more

But if Shelly she would just come back

It'll be allright

But if Shelly she would just come back

It'll be allright

Be allright, be allright....

KATE BUSH lyrics - Houdini

I wait at the table,

And hold hands with weeping strangers,

Wait for you

To join the group.



The tambourine jingle-jangles.

The medium roams and rambles.

Not taken in,

I break the circle.



I want this man

To go away now.



With a kiss

I'd pass the key

And feel your tongue

Teasing and receiving.

With your spit

Still on my lip,

You hit the water.



Him and I in the room

To prove you are with us too.



He's using code that only you and I know.

This is no trick of his.

This is your magic.



I'd catch the cues,

Watching you,

Hoping you'd do something wrong.



Everybody thinks you'll never make it,

But every time,

You escape:



'Rosabel believe,

Not even eternity

Can hold Houdini!'



"Rosabel, believe!"



Through the glass

I'd watch you breathe.

("Not even eternity--")

Bound and drowned,

And paler than you've ever been.

("--will hold Houdini!")



With your life

The only thing in my mind--

We pull you from the water!



(Houdini!)



You ("Hou-di-ni...")

And I

And Rosabel believe.

ELOY lyrics - Appearance Of The Voice

Pulsating fear, surprise my ear, so come here

you are jittery, please trust in me, my dear

Take your time and come aside to green light

I loose my time, I'll disappear with daylight

A tiny gate that dances in the wall

what kind of voice, what kind of call

that pours into my hollow head,

my heavy ear, I have to leave this hall

Love to follow my inner call.

RICK WAKEMAN lyrics - Music Reincatnate. Part IV - The Realisation

It's too late now to help yourself.

Time for the Maker to help himself.



Foolish man with days to live.

Waste not your time.

It's way too late to save your soul in time.

You're far too old your soul to find.

You've wrecked your head,

and blown your mind.

It's too late to find your music soul.



It's too late now to help yourself.

Time for the Maker to help himself.

It's too late to find your music soul.



In younger men you watch yourself.

Destroy themselves like you.

It's way too late to save their lives in time.

You're far too old, their souls to find.

You've wrecked your head,

and blown your mind.

It's too late to find your music soul.



It's too late now to help yourself.

Time for the Maker to help himself.

It's too late to find your music soul.

GUNS 'N' ROSES lyrics - Silk Worms

Listen motherfuckers to this song that should be heard

Thrown down in the gutter, it's more than you deserve

Kneeling fucking virgin, you know that's what you are

Pussy for a maggot, isn't that a shock



What can I do? With a bitch like you

You know that it's true

All I have I ask of you

I'll be dammed

If it's not true

A bitch like you



Get your head down in the sky

Fucking little schemer got yourself a broken heart

Syphilitic preachers baby I know who you are

Parasitic demons sucking acid through your heart



What can I do? With a bitch like you

You know that it's true

All I have I ask of you

I'll be dammed

If it's not true

A bitch like you

ELVIS COSTELLO lyrics - Impatience

How long do I have to wait?

Before I can tell you the things I've been wanting to say

How long must I hesitate?



I know it makes sense but it's hard for me to stay away

But if this is how it has to be

Maybe it's just a feeling

That I could name

But I'd probably best blame...impatience



You can't miss - what you've never known

It's quite absurd how you started disturbing me so

Sometimes - when I am all alone

I lose my senses

I have no defences to go



But if this is how I lose my heart

Then I shall just embrace that

My pulse is racing still

I'm secretly thrilled

By the laughter that tumbled

And the tears that I spilled

As far as I know no one ever got killed

By impatience



Tell me - is there danger still?

I took no heed so a word might as well be deed

Although - I'd really like to see you now

I'm almost certain it can't be accomplished with speed



So, if this is how I'll bide my time

Then I will set it down

Til we lose our caution

I'll honour your order

'Cos it's such sweet torture

To carry this torch

In the light of temptation

Beyond conversation and all expectation

Pausing a moment or two just to mention...

Impatience

DEAD CAN DANCE lyrics - In The Kingdom Of The Blind The One-Eyed Are Kings

If it were within our power,

Beyond the reach of slavish pride.

To no longer harbour grievances,

Behind the mask's opportunists facade.

We could welcome the responsibilty

Like a long lost friend,

And re-establish the kingdom of laughter

In the dolls house once again.

For time has imprisoned us

In the order of our years,

In the discipline of our ways

And in the passing of momentary stillness

We can view our chaos in motion

And the subsequent collisions of fools

Well versed in the subtle art of slavery.

EARTH, WIND AND FIRE lyrics - The Speed Of Love

(Maurice White, Wayne Vaughn, Wanda Vaughn & Tony Haynes)



You can't stop me

I was born to be with you

Your love's my center point of view, every day

You can't stop me

Gonna stand right next to you

Until I know that I was made for you



Let me bet you, I'll never come in second place

I know I got what it takes for you

Hey love - moving at the speed of love

Love - livin' with the need of love

Hey love - burnin' in the heat of love

I need your power in the midnight hour



The best is yet to come

Once you're in my arms

Let ma take control at the speed of love



If you let it

Love will be your stepping stone

One that I'm depending on, to shine

And that's the bottom line

Love is magic

Created in a special place

Moving in and out of space for you

Let love take us

To a land of pearly skies

A wonderland that never dies



Hey love - moving at the speed of love

Love - livin' with the need of love

Hey love - burnin' in the heat of love

I need your power in the midnight hour



Let's take circumstance

By design or chance

Makes no difference at the speed of love



Emotions won't slow down

Hearts are upward bound

Passing lights and sound at the speed of love

L. A. GUNS lyrics - Ain't The Same

Hey Baby, baby, you drive me crazy

I'm gonna leave you one more time

Don't try to stop me

Don't say you love me

I've gotta have my way this time



If I try hard enough

I'll live without your love

This time it's plain to see

That it's no good for you

It's no good for me



It just ain't the same without you

Now these nights are so long

It just ain't the same without you

Now I know I was wrong



I'm so sorry

I must have been crazy

How could I leave this love behind

I'm so lonely

Just like you told me

Take me back just one more time



It just ain't the same without you

Now these nights are so long

It just ain't the same without you

Now I know I was wrong

FRANK SINATRA lyrics - Are You Lonesome Tonight?

(Roy Turk, Lou Handman)



[Recorded January 17, 1962, Los Angeles]



Are you lonesome tonight, do you miss me tonight, are you sorry we drifted apart?

Does your memory stray to a bright summer day

When I kissed you and called you sweetheart.

Do the chairs in your parlor seem empty and bare

Do you gaze at your doorstep, and picture me there

Is your heart filled with pain, shall I come back again

Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight

Is your heart filled with pain, shall I come back again

Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight?

CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL lyrics - Door To Door

(S. Cook)



Find me out awalkin', time the whistle starts acallin',

Maybe stoppin' early, knockin' at your door.

Take so long to answer, Lord knows it ain't the milkman

Could be stoppin' early, sellin' Door To Door.

Here's my latest sample; like to show you how to use it.

First, you pull the curtain while I spread some here.

Wipe the surface gently, try to use a circle motion,

Safe for all your problems, and my price is fair.



This stuff'll get the stain out if you use it loosely wadded;

This here'll take the pain out and won't mess your hair.

Place your order early 'cause you know I'm in a hurry;

Your neighbor's in her doorway, won't you sign right here.



Place your order early 'cause you know I'm in a hurry;

Your neighbor's in her doorway, won't you sign right here.



Man is on the last train, all that work and no play,

Could be stoppin' early, knockin' at your door.

Time for me to head on; pack my kit and 'So long';

Catch you bright and early sellin' Door To Door.



This stuff'll get the stain out if you use it loosely wadded;

This here'll take the pain out and won't mess your hair.

Place your order early 'cause you know I'm in a hurry;

Your neighbor's in her doorway, won't you sign right here.



Place your order early 'cause you know I'm in a hurry;

Your neighbor's in her doorway, won't you sign right here.

Place your order early 'cause you know I'm in a hurry;

Your neighbor's in her doorway, won't you sign right here.

MODERN TALKING lyrics - We Are Children Of The World

Tell me now, how do you survive

In your lonely lonely life?

Together we just can do it right

Together side by side

The more you give, the more you get

It is not a dream

You're getting more - than it seems



Oh baby: we, we are the children of the world

(children of the world)

Can't you see, every boy and every girl

(every boy baby every girl)

We can do, we can do, we can do it again

If we have a helping hand

Baby we, we are the children of the world



Tell me now, there's a chance of love

Are you sure you have enough

Together we just can do it right

Oh if god is on our side

Cause we have passion, we have pain

It is not a dream

Together we will win

BIG BILL BROONZY lyrics - Crow Jane

Crow Jane, Crow Jane, don't hold your head so high,

'cause someday baby, you got to lay down and die



I dug her grave with a silver spade,

Ain't nobody gonna take my Crow Jane's place



You know I let her down with a golden chain,

And every link I would call my Crow Jane's name



I never missed my water till my well runs dry,

Didn't miss Crow Jane until the day she died



Crow Jane, Crow Jane, what makes you hold your head so high,

Someday, baby, you're gonna lay down and die

PAUL MCCARTNEY lyrics - Silly Love Songs

You'd Think That People Would Have Had Enought Of Silly Love Songs.

But I Look Around Me And I See It Isn't So.

Some People Wanna Fill The World With Silly Love Songs.

And What's Wrong With That?

I'd Like To Know, 'Cause Here I Go Again

I Love You, I Love You,

I Love You, I Love You.



I Can't Explain The Feeling's Plain To Me; Say Can't You See?

Ah, She Gave Me More, She Gave It All To Me

Now Can't You See, What's Wrong With That

I Need To Know, 'Cause Here I Go Again

I Love You, I Love You.



Love Doesn't Come In A Minute,

Sometimes It Doesn't Come At All

I Only Know That When I'm In It

It Isn't Silly, No, It Isn't Silly, Love Isn't Silly At All.



How Can I Tell You About My Loved One?

PURE PRAIRIE LEAGUE lyrics - Boulder Skies

Sew your skirt lace out of time

While I write the words to rhyme

Just what I am thinkin'... just what I should say

If I have to go I'd rather stay



Colorado canyon girl could set me free

Brown eyes in the mornin' lookin' back at me

And just for that one moment... you're all that I see

Searchin' for some other place to be



More than anyone can try I hope you'll see that I belong

Standin' right before your eyes

If you can take the time to find where I went wrong

Then I think you just might realize



So sew your skirt lace and I'll go home

But not quite where I started from

And take it so you'll feel it... and take it so you'll know

Take one long last look before I go



More than anyone can try I hope you'll see that I belong

Standin' right before your eyes

And when you've had the time to see it's been too long

Then I'll come on back to Boulder Skies

BRENDA LEE lyrics - The Angel And The Little Blue Bell

(MacRae)



At Christmas time in the steeple high

The bells would proudly ring

To tell the world of the joy and cheer

That Christmas day would bring

But one little bell in the steeple high

Could only pain alone and cry

No matter hard he try and try

Poor little thing he couldn't ring at all



All the other bells in the steeple high

Saw all his lonely tears

And watched him tried his best to ring

Each Christmas through the years

But the little blue bell in the steeple tower

Just cry for Christmas pain to call

For like I said inspite of all

Poor little thing he couldn't ring at all



One Christmas eve in the steeple high

An angle did appear

She smiled and said to the little blue bell

I've come to dry yours tears and on that night

So the story's told, she changed the little blue bell

To the purest gold with the richest tone

To whole and whole proud little thing

Just hear him ring

Oh what fun it is to ride

In a one horse open sleigh

Oh what fun it is to ride

Bells on bop tails ring

Making spirts bright

What fun it is to

Ride a sleighing song tonight



Jingle Bells

Ji, Jingle Bells

Oh what fun it is to ride

In a one horse open sleigh

Ba la la la bop

Making spirts bright

What fun it is to

Ride a sleighing song tonight

THE MICHAEL SCHENKER GROUP lyrics - Politician

(Brown/Bruce)



[Originally by Cream]



Hey now baby, get into my big black car

Hey now baby, get into my big black car

I wanna just show you what my politics are.



I'm a political man and I practice what I preach

I'm a political man and I practice what I preach

So don't deny me baby, not while you're in my reach.



I support the left, tho' I'm leanin', leanin' to the right

I support the left, tho' I'm leanin' to the right

But I'm just not there when it's coming to a fight.



Hey now baby, get into my big black car

Hey now baby, get into my big black car

I wanna just show you what my politics are.



Hey, hey now baby, get into my big black car

Hey now baby, get into my big black car

I wanna just show you what my politics are.



I support the left, tho' I'm leanin'to the right

I support the left, tho' I'm leanin' to the right

But I'm just not there when, when it's coming to a fight.



Political man and I practice what I preach

Political man and I practice what I preach

But I'm just not there, when you're in my reach.



Hey now baby, get into my big black car

Hey now baby, get into my big black car

I wanna just show you what my politics are.



Hey, hey, hey

I wanna just show you what my politics are.

CELINE DION lyrics - En Attendant Ses Pas

En attendant ses pas, je mets la musique en sourdine, tout bas

Trop bete, on ne sait pas, s'il sonnait

Si je n'entendais pas cette fois

En attendant ses pas ce matin-la



While waiting his steps, I put music on mute, very low

Too bad, we don't know, in case he'd ring

If I would not hear it that time

While waiting his steps that morning

Un soir? Un matin? Un hiver, une aube

Un printemps qu'il choisira

Rien, je n'en sais rien, je mets des lumieres

Les nuits au bord des chemins



A night? A morning? A Winter, a dawn

A Spring he will chose

Nothing, I know nothing of it, I put on some lights

Nights along the roads

En attendant ses bras je peins des fleurs aux portes

Il aimera ca

En attendant le doux temps de ses bras



While waiting his arms I draw flowers on doors

He will like that

While waiting the nice weather of his arms

Et je prends soin de moi, rouge a mes levres, a mes joues

Pour qu'il ne voit pas

Quand trop pale parfois, ne surtout pas

Qu'il me surprenne comme ca



And I take care of myself, red on my lips, on my cheeks

So he will not see

When too pale sometimes, he should certainly not

Surpise me like this

Il y a de l'eau fraiche et du vin

Je ne sais pas ce qu'il choisira

Je ne sais s'il est blond, s'il est brun

Je ne sais s'il est grand ou pas

Mais en entendant sa voix je saurai

Que tous ses mots, tous seront pour moi

En attendant le doux temps de ses bras



There is some fresh water and some wine

I don't know which he will chose

I don't know if he is blond, if he is brown

I don't know if he is tall or not

But when hearing his voice, I will know

That all his words, all will be for me

While waiting the nice weather of his arms

J'y pense tout le temps a cet instant, oh quand on se reconnaitra

Je lui dirai c'etait bien long, non, je ne lui dirai surement pas

En attendant ses pas, je vis, je reve et je respire pour ca

En attendant juste un sens a tout ca



I'm always thinking about this moment, oh when we will recognize each other

I will tell him it was very long, no, I will certainly not tell him

While waiting his steps, I'm living, I'm dreaming and I'm breathing for that

While waiting just a meaning to all that

Un soir? Un matin? Un hiver, une aube

Un printemps qu'il choisira

Rien, je n'en sais rien, je mets des lumieres

Les nuits au bord des chemins



A night? A morning? A Winter, a dawn

A Spring he will chose

Nothing, I know nothing of it, I put on some lights

Nights along the roads

En attendant ses bras je peins des fleurs aux portes

Il aimera ca



While waiting his arms I'm drawing flowers on doors

He will like that

En attendant juste un sens a tout ca, a tout ca



While waiting a meaning to all that, to all that

ELVIS COSTELLO lyrics - There's A Story In Your Voice

Once upon another time

If you had the need

I'd step right in the shoes that you've been walking

'Cos someone put the hurt in you

For every one to see

And you only have to speak to tell your fortune



There's a story in your voice

Both by damage and by choice

It tells of promises and pleasure

And a tale of wine and woe

The uneasy time to come

And the long way 'round we go to get there



Once you told me fairytales

Everybody knows

But I didn't care for their prediction

Now you say you're leaving me

And packing up your clothes

I finally see you were a work of fiction



There's a story in your walk

Then you crumble just like chalk

And I could say that I was sorry

But I wouldn't mean it much

There are pages I can't touch

And something that's been torn out of this chapter



Far away, not far enough

'Cos I can still recall

How it felt when I read that last sentence

Now I go inside some rooms with Gideon in them all

And hide myself from all hope of repentance



There's a story in your eyes

Cheap sunglasses might disguise

But when the bedroom light reveals

All that bravado and that fright

That you cover up in spite

Attempts to strip away this fabrication



There's a story in your voice

Both by damage and by choice

It tells of promises and pleasure

And a tale of wine and woe

The uneasy time to come

And the long way 'round we go to get there

I should have known better with a girl like you

That I would love everything that you do

And I do, hey hey hey, and I do



(Faster!)



Woah-oh I should have realized what a kiss could be

That this could only happen to me

Can't you see, can't you see...



That when I tell you that I love you, oh

You're gonna say you love me too, oo oo oo oo

Bow bow bow

And when I ask you to be mi-i-i-ine

You're gonna say you love me too

You love me too

(Harmonics!)

You love me too

You love me too



(Great. Now, "Tell Me Why." How does that go? That's my favorite Beatles song.)

(One more time. Tell me why.)

(Who knows.)

(Hey, I got some.)

BRIAN ENO WITH DAVID BYRNE lyrics - America Is Waiting

America is waiting for a message of some sort or another.



Takin' it again. Again! Again! Takin' it again.



Well now... no, no... now, we ought to be mad at the government not mad at the people.



Takin' it again. Again! Again! Takin' it again.



I mean, yeah, well... wha-what're ya gonna do?



America is waiting for a message of some sort or another.



No will whatsoever. No will whatsoever! Absolutely no honor.

No will whatsoever. No will whatsoever! I haven't seen any any any citizen over there stand up and say "Hey, just a second."



No will whatsoever. No will whatsoever! I mean, yeah, so... wha-what're ya gonna do?



America is waiting for a message of some sort or another.

THE RAMONES lyrics - Commando

They do their best, they do what they can

They get them ready for Viet Nam



From old Hanoi to East Berlin

Commando - involved again



They do their best, they do what they can

They get them ready for Viet Nam



First rule is: The laws of Germany

Second rule is: Be nice to mommy

Third rule is: Don't talk to commies

Fourth rule is: Eat kosher salamis

DIONNE WARWICK lyrics - Once You Hit The Road

3:45 you come home with lipstick stains all over your face

Tell me no lies

Cuz your friends been call

Seems you've been out on a date

What good is home

If you can't be true to

The one that's been giving you love

When times get rough

And you say you need me

I'm gunna fix I'll never do it your way



Once you hit the road baby

There ain't no, ain't no turnin' back

Once you hit the road baby

There ain't no, ain't no turnin' back



So it's good-bye

And I'll see you later

There's nothing for you to say

Give up

Don't hang around

Now that love is over

Cuz you'll be wasting my time

How can it last

When your heart don't need the love that it needed before

I feel so bad

Cuz I'm not the someone your time has been for

Is she giving you more



Once you hit the road baby

There ain't no, ain't no turnin' back

Once you hit the road baby

There ain't no, ain't no turnin' back

AMY GRANT lyrics - Sharayah

(Chris Eaton & Amy Grant)



I've know you long as anybody

You know me better than the rest

Please don't say we don't see eye to eye now

Friend to friend can you tell me this



Tell me tell me where do you belong

I guess you've no idea

Tell me tell me where do you come from

Tell me tell me why do you pretend to know

Listen to me now

Listen to me now

He cares for you

Listen to me now

He wants you to come home



[Chorus:]

Sharayah

I care about you

I don't want to push you

Sharayah

I don't want to lose you now

I don't want to lose you now

Come with me...Sharayah



Call his name that is all He's asking

Let Him come down to where you are

You can have life that's everlasting

Can't you see this is just the start



Tell me tell me where do you belong

I guess you've no idea

Tell me tell me where do you come from

Tell me tell me why do you pretend to know

Listen to me now

He loves you

Listen to me now

He cares for you

Listen to me now

He wants you to come home, yeah



[Chorus]

SINEAD O'CONNOR lyrics - Nothing Compares 2 U

It's been seven hours and fifteen days

Since u took your love away

I go out every night and sleep all day

Since u took your love away

Since u been gone I can do whatever I want

I can see whomever I choose

I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant

But nothing

I said nothing can take away these blues

`Cause nothing compares

Nothing compares 2 u

It's been so lonely without u here

Like a bird without a song

Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling

Tell me baby where did I go wrong

I could put my arms around every boy I see

But they'd only remind me of you

I went to the doctor n'guess what he told me

Guess what he told me

He said girl u better have fun

No matter what u do

But he's a fool

`Cause nothing compares

Nothing compares 2 u

All the flowers that u planted, mama

In the back yard

All died when u went away

I know that living with u baby was sometimes hard

But I'm willing to give it another try

Nothing compares

Nothing compares 2 u

Nothing compares

Nothing compares 2 u

Nothing compares

Nothing compares 2 u

VAN MORRISON lyrics - Carrickfergus

(Traditional, arranged by Van Morrison/Paddy Moloney)



I wished I had you in Carrickfergus,

Only for nights in Ballygrand,

I would swim over the deepest ocean,

The deepest ocean to be by your side.



But the sea is wide and I can't swim over

And neither have I wings to fly.

I wish I could find me a handy boatman

To ferry me over to my love and die.



My childhood days bring back sad reflections

Of happy days so long ago.

My boyhood friends and my own relations.

Have all passed on like the melting snow.



So I'll spend my days in endless roving,

Soft is the grass and my bed is free.

Oh to be home now in Carrickfergus,

On the long road down to the salty sea.



And in Kilkenny it is reported

On marble stone there as black as ink,

With gold and silver I did support her

But I'll sing no more now till I get a drink.



I'm drunk today and I'm rarely sober,

A handsome rover from town to town.

Oh but I am sick now and my days are numbered

Come all ye young men and lay me down.

QUEEN lyrics - Under Pressure

(Queen and David Bowie)



Pressure pushing down on me

Pressing down on you no man ask for

Under pressure - that burns a building

down

Splits a family in two

Puts people on streets

It's the terror of knowing

What this world is about

Watching some good friends

Screaming let me out

Pray tomorrow - gets me higher

Pressure on people - people on streets

It's the terror of knowing

What this world is about

Watching some good friends

Screaming let me out

Pray tomorrow - gets me higher

Pressure on people - people on streets

Turned away from it all like a blind man

Sat on a fence but it don't work

Keep coming up with love but it's so slashed

and torn

Why - why - why

Love

Insanity laughs under pressure we're

cracking

Can't we give ourselves one more chance

Why can't we give love that one more

chance

Why can't we give love

Cause love's such an old fashioned word

and love dares you to care for

The people on the edge of the night

And love dares you to change our way of

Caring about ourselves

This is our last dance

This is our last dance

This is ourselves

Under pressure

Under pressure

Pressure

BERLIN lyrics - Gabriel

(T. Nunn / J. Crawford)



Drowning in a devil's world

How that victim image served you well

Drowning in the holy wine

Pour it out and put your hand in mine



Ah Gabriel



Lying in another hospital bed

You feel so worthless

I think you're sick in the head

Crying, you say our love is gone

Move over now, you're the only man that I want



Ah Gabriel



In the sun baby, your sun

You're shining forever

I will always believe in you

In the now and the never

In the sun baby, your sun

Love shining forever

In the light all around you

In the now and the never



When you're drowning in a devil's world

Don't you give up on your girl

Because we will fly over hell



Ah Gabriel

TITO JACKSON lyrics - I Gotta Play

(Tito A. Jackson)



Since I was a young boy

I never messed with toys

Good music is what I enjoyed

Papa Joe often looked me to

Sittin' round the house

Making guitar's groove



That's why I

That's why I play the blues



Grabbed myself a guitar

And started playing live

In a group with my brothers

The Jackson 5

Gave music to my boys 3T

It's cool

But nothing makes me happier

Than grooving blues



That's why I say

I gotta play the blues



We played music all over the

North, East and South

Way before ABC was even thought about

Music was caused in different direction

That's what I remember to my best recollection



But today

I gotta play the blues



Wanna be a little different

Do something my brothers dare to do

PANTERA lyrics - Live In A Hole

Full of grief I scream at the wind

Thought I heard the words of others

Imprison myself

And stay in a shell

I won't let you in to have a story to tell

Things tend to drag me down

Don't understand so they hate me now



My fear grips the will of stone

My fear grips I'll die alone



I promised myself somewhere in the teenage life

I'd never submit to the ones I will not be like

Live in a hole

But stay close to my kind

Cause they understand what burns in my mind

I still feel incomplete

Friends are few and far between

THE KINKS lyrics - Picture Book

Picture yourself when you're getting old,

Sat by the fireside a-pondering on[?].

Picture book, pictures of your mama, taken by your papa a long time ago.

Picture book, of people with each other, to prove they love each other a long ago.

Na, na, na, na, na na.

Na, na, na, na, na na.

Picture book.

Picture book.



A picture of you in your birthday suit,

You sat in the sun on a hot afternoon.

Picture book, your mama and your papa, and fat old Uncle Charlie out boozing with their friends.

Picture book, a holiday in August, outside a bed and breakfast in sunny Southend.

Picture book, when you were just a baby, those days when you were happy, a long time ago.

Na, na, na, na, na na.

Na, na, na, na, na na.

Picture book.

Picture book.

Picture book.

Picture book.



Picture book,

Na, na, na, na na,

Na, na, na, na na,

A-scooby-dooby-doo.

Picture book,

Na, na, na, na na,

Na, na, na, na na,

A-scooby-dooby-doo.



Picture book, pictures of your mama, taken by your papa a long time ago.

Long time ago,

Long time ago,

Long time ago,

Long time ago,

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SIMPLY RED lyrics - Someday In My Life

Here from the top of a mountain

I see you there

In the cool night air

Someday in my life



Fear has no reason to doubt them

They tell me so

Yet they will never know

You are here in my life



Wherever I go now

I'll follow you

And my heart will be true

I have never known someone

To stay right here

Soon you will be right here

Someday in my life



[Piano solo]



Here from the top of a mountain

I see you there

In the cool night air

Someday in my life



Storms may rage on about them

They hail and snow

Yet they will never know

You are here in my life



Wherever I go now

I'll follow you

And my heart will be true

I have never known someone

To stay right here

Soon you will be right here

Someday in my life

ELLA FITZGERALD lyrics - The Real American Folk Song

Near Barcelona, the peasant crooned

The old traditional Spanish tunes

The Neapolitan street song sighs

You think of Italian skys



Each nation has a creative vein

Originating a native strain

With folk songs plaintive and others gay

In their own peculiar way



American folk songs, I feel

Have a much stronger appeal



The real American folksong is a rag

A mental jag

A rhythmic tonic for the chronic blues



The critics called it a "joke song" but now

They've changed their tune, and they like it, somehow



For it's innoculated with a syncopated sort of meter, sweeter

Than a classic strain, boy you can't remain, still or quiet, for it's a riot



The real American folksong

Is like a fountain of youth

You taste, and it elates you, and then, invigorates you

The real American folksong, the masses coaxed on, is a rag



[Instrumental break]



The real American folksong is a rag

A mental jag

A rhythmic tonic for the chronic blues



The critics called it a "joke song" but now

They've changed their tune, and they like it, somehow



For it's innoculated with a syncopated sort of meter, sweeter

Than a classic strain, boy you can't remain, still or quiet, for it's a riot



The real American folksong

Is like a fountain of youth

You taste, and it elates you, and then, invigorates you

The real American folksong, is a rag

THE TEMPTATIONS lyrics - Beauty Is Only Skin Deep

So in love, sad as could be

'Cause a pretty face got the best of me.

Suddenly, you came into my life

And gave it meaning and pure delight.

Now, good looks, I've learned to do without.

'Cause now I know it's love that really counts.



'Cause I know that...

(Beauty's only skin deep, yeah, yeah, yeah.)

I know that...

Beauty's only skin deep, yes indeed.



Now you speak your words warm and sincere.

And let's me know that your love is near.

A pretty face you may not possess

But what I like about you is your tenderness.

A pretty face maybe some guys taste

But I'll take lovin' in it's place.



'Cause I know that...

(Beauty's only skin deep, yeah, yeah, yeah.)

And you know that...

Beauty's only skin deep, oh baby, oh yeah.

(Oh yeah, Oh yeah)



(Beauty's only skin deep, yeah, yeah, yeah.)

Ooo

(Beauty's only skin deep, oh yeah.)

Yes it is.



My friends ask, what do I see in you

But it goes deeper than the eye can view.

You have a pleasin' personality

And that's an ever lovin' rare quality.

Now show me a girl, a girl that's fine

And I'll choose the one with true lovin' every time.



I know that...

(Beauty's only skin deep, yeah, yeah, yeah)

And I believe that...

Beau - know that beauty's only skin deep.



So if you're lookin' for a lover. (Oh yeah)

Don't judge a book by it's cover. (Oh yeah)

She may be fine on the outside (Oh yeah)

But so untrue on the inside. (Oh yeah)

Ooo

SHANE MACGOWAN AND THE POPES lyrics - Nancy Whiskey

As I went down through Glasgow city

Just to see what I might spy

What should I see but Nancy Whiskey

A playful twinkle in her eye



Whiskey, Whiskey, Nancy Whiskey

Whiskey, Whiskey, Nancy Ohh



I bought her, I drank her, I had another

Ran out of money, so I did steal

She ran me ragged, Nancy Whiskey

For seven years, a rollin' wheel



Whiskey, Whiskey, Nancy Whiskey

Whiskey, Whiskey, Nancy Ohh



The more I held her, the more I loved her

Nancy had her spell on me

All I knew was lovely Nancy

The things I needed I could not see



Whiskey, Whiskey, Nancy Whiskey

Whiskey, Whiskey, Nancy Ohh



As I awoke to slake my thirst

As I tried crawling from my bed

I fell down flat, I could not stagger

Nancy had me by the legs



Whiskey, Whiskey, Nancy Whiskey

Whiskey, Whiskey, Nancy Ohh



Come on landlandy, what's the owing

Tell me what there is to pay

Fifteen shillings that's the reckoning

Now pay me quickly and go away



Whiskey, Whiskey, Nancy Whiskey

Whiskey, Whiskey, Nancy Ohh

Whiskey, Whiskey, Nancy Whiskey

Whiskey, Whiskey, Nancy Ohh

NICK CAVE AND THE BAD SEEDS lyrics - Blind Lemon Jefferson

Bline Lemon Jefferson is a-coming.

Tap tap tappin with his cane.

Bline Lemon Jefferson is a-coming.

Tap tap tappin with his cane.

His last ditch lies down the road of trials

Half filled with rain.



O Sycamore, Sycamore!

Stretch your arms across the storm.

Down fly two greasy brother-crows

They hop'n'bop hop'n'bop hop'n'bop

Like the tax-man come to call.

They go knock knock! Knock knock!

Hop'n'bop hop'n'bop

They slap a death-writ on his door.



Here come the Judgement train

Git on board!

And turn that big black engine home.

O let's roll!

Let's roll!

Down the tunnel.

The terrible tunnel of his world.

Waiting at his final station

Like a bigger blacker third bird.

O let's roll!

Let's roll!



O his road is dark and lonely.

He don't drive no Cadillac.

O his road is dark and holy.

He don't drive no cadillac.

If that sky serves as his eyes

Then that moons a cataract.



Let's roll!

Yeah let's roll!



[Ad lib]

BONFIRE lyrics - American Nights

Comin' at me - like a speed train

It's too late - to jump off the track

Locomotion - red hot emotion

I can feel it - breathing down my back



I'm shakin' and I'm takin'

so much I feel inside

I'm achin' - she's takin' me over the line

I can't get enough of those



CHORUS

American Nights - don't keep me waiting

American Nights - she showed me her world

American Nights - with my american girl



Lights are flashing - all around me

love is closin' in - nowhere to run

my destination - is your vibration

what you give me - is second to none



I'm shakin' - I ain't fakin'

no way I'll ever forget - those



CHORUS



There's no other way - my world stops turning without you

I've just gotta stay forever



We're shakin', we're not fakin'

no way - we'll ever forget - those



CHORUS

JETHRO TULL lyrics - Audition

The actors milling helplessly--

The script is blowing out to sea.

But what the hell, we didn't even pass an audition.



The lines you'll have to improvise.

The words are written in the eyes

Of politicians who despise their fathers.



And so the play necessitates

That all you boys participate

In fierce competition to eliminate each other.



And groupies, on their way to war,

Get to write the next film score,

But the rock and roll star knows his glory is really nothing.



Men of religion, on the make,

Pledge an oath they undertake

To make you wise for God's own sake, and none other.



While ladies get their bedding done

To win themselves a bouncing son--

But bad girls do it for the fun of just being.



And me, I'm here to sing along,

And I'm not concerned with righting wrongs,

Just asking questions that belong without an answer.



But God is laughing up his sleeve

As He pours himself another cup of tea,

And He waves good-bye to you and me, at least for now.

LIONEL RICHIE lyrics - All Night Long

Well, my friends, the time has come

To raise the roof and have some fun

Throw away the work to be done

Let the music play on

(play on, play on)



Everbody sing, everybody dance

Lose yourself in wild romance

We're going to party

Karamu, fiesta, forever

Come on and sing along!

We're going to party

Karamu, fiesta, forever

Come onand sing along!

We're going to party

Karamu, fiesta, forever

Come on and sing along!



All night long! (all night)

All night long! (all night)

All night long! (all night)



People dancing all in the street

See the rhythm all in their feet

Life is good wild and sweet

Let the music play on

(play on, play on)

Feel it in your heart

And feel it in your soul

Let the music take control

We're going to party

Liming, fiesta, forever

Come on and sing my song!



All night long! (all night)

All night long! (all night)

All night long! (all night)

All night long! (all night)



Yeah, once you get started

You can't sit down

Come join the fun

It's a merry go round

Everyone's dancing

Their troubles away

Come join our party

See how we play!

Oh, yes

We're going to have a party!



All night long! (all night)

All night long! (all night)

All night long! (all night)

All night long!



Everyone you meet

They're jamming in the street

All night long!

Yeah, I said, everyone you meet

They're jamming in the street

All night long!

Yeah, I said, everyone you meet

They're jamming in the street

All night long!

Feel good! feel good!

CHRIS REA lyrics - Heading For The City

All my friends packing up,

Loading up their Volvo's

And their pick up trucks

Going down the road,

To try their luck

So spin that dream,

Go heading for the city

Roll that dice,

Say a prayer,

Light a candle for me

When you get there,

Win or lose,

We're heading for the city



Well I got a problem hear what I say

They're telling me I got to move away

I was happy here,

They tell me I can't stay

Now whats screaming rain is heading this way

For those who sleep and choose to stay

The game they didn't know

They had to play

So win or lose

We're heading for the city

So roll that dice

Say a prayer

Light a candle for me

When you get there,

Win or lose,

We're heading for the city

DELBERT MCCLINTON lyrics - Big River

I taught the weeping willow how to cry, cry, cry

I taught the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky

The tears I cried for that woman, they're gonna flood you, Big River

I'm gonna lay right here until I die



Well I met her accidentally in St. Paul, Minnesota

Tore me up every time I heard her drawl, Southern drawl

I heard my Queen, went back downstream towards ol' Davenport,

Well I followed you, Big River, when you called



I followed you to St. Louis later on River Queen

A freighter said she's been here but she's gone, boy, she's gone

I caught her trail in Memphis, but she just walked up the block

She raised her two eyebrows and she walked on down alone



Whoa batten on down Baton Rouge, River Queen

Take that woman on down to Orleans, New Orleans

I'm gone, I've had enough, dump my blues down in the gulf

She loves you, Big River, more than me

Oh, she loves you, Big River, more than me

JOAN ARMATRADING lyrics - Promise Land

All this time I have followed the rules

And I've lived the perfect life

Alright

By somebody else's standards

All this time I did not feel too bad

But I was not what you call happy

Not really

I was searching for something

And all this time you were standing by

And all this time you were waiting



All this time I've been living a lie

And I even fooled myself completely

Now I'm really ready

Right or wrong

I will follow your course

And if you go down I'll drown

So save me

I'm not as strong as I look yea

All this time I've been saying

No

But all this time

I've been meaning



Yes I'm ready to take your hand

Follow you into the promise land

Ooh yea let's talk about it

I'm a fool for you

Ducking and diving

'Cos I'm a fool for you

All this time I've been saying

No

But all this time

I've been meaning

Yes I'm ready to take your hand

Follow you into the promise land

BILLY IDOL lyrics - Dancing With Myself

On the floor of Tokyo

Or down in London town to go, go

With the record selection

With the mirror reflection

I'm dancing with myself



When there's no-one else in sight

In the crowded lonely night

Well I wait so long

For my love vibration

And I'm dancing with myself



Oh dancing with myself

Oh dancing with myself

Well there's nothing to lose

And there's nothing to prove

I'll be dancing with myself



If I looked all over the world

And there's every type of girl

But your empty eyes

Seem to pass me by

Leave me dancing with myself



So let's sink another drink

'Cause it'll give me time to think

If I had the chance

I'd ask the world to dance

And I'll be dancing with myself



Oh dancing with myself

Oh dancing with myself

Well there's nothing to lose

And there's nothing to prove

I'll be dancing with myself



If I looked all over the world

And there's every type of girl

But your empty eyes

Seem to pass me by

Leave me dancing with myself



So let's sink another drink

'Cause it'll give me time to think

If I had the chance

I'd ask the world to dance

And I'll be dancing with myself



Oh dancing with myself

Oh dancing with myself

If I had the chance

I'd ask the world to dance

If I had the chance

I'd ask the world to dance

If I had the chance

I'd ask the world to dance



[Scat]



Dancing with myself

Dancing with myself

Dancing with myself

Dancing with myself



If I looked all over the world

And there's every type of girl

But your empty eyes

Seem to pass me by

Leave me dancing with myself



So let's sink another drink

'Cause it'll give me time to think

If I had the chance

I'd ask the world to dance

And I'll be dancing with myself



Oh dancing with myself

Oh dancing with myself

If I had the chance

I'd ask the world to dance

If I had the chance

I'd ask the world to dance

If I had the chance

I'd ask the world to dance

BONNIE TYLER lyrics - Loving You Is A Dirty Job But Somebody's Gotta Do It

(Jim Steinman)



[Girl:]

When the sky is falling and you're looking round for somewhere to hide

Did you ever call out to someone

Did you ever call out to me, I've never been gone-

I've been right here by your side

There ain't nothin' but clouds

There ain't nothin' but clouds in your eyes



Why don't you believe it when you finally found the truth

You've been drinking poison water from the fountain of youth

Why don't you stop tearing up everyone you need the most

You're so busy trying to get even

You never even try to get close



I can't explain it away

It doesn't make any sense

To know what it's like

I guess you gotta go through it

It doesn't matter baby

Loving you's a dirty job

But somebody's gotta do it



[Boy:]

There were times when we'd never fake it

There were times when we'd always make it

There were times when we'd take it to the limit

And we'd never, never, ever leave each other alone

We were flesh and blood and bone

There were times we had it all

There were times we had it all



[Both:]

There were times when we took our chances

There were times we were damn good dancers

There were times when we heard all the answers

In the beating of the drummer and the riches of the rock and the roll

I can see right through your soul

There were times we had it all

There were times we had it all



[Boy:]

If your fears could only be forgotten

We could pull all of the barriers down

Would you follow your dreams' desire

Would you follow your secret dreams and forbidden fire

Let's just peel out of this town



[Both:]

It's been nothing but dreams

It's been nothing but dreams until now



[Boy:]

You're never gonna see it



[Both:]

You got your head stuck in the sand



[Boy:]

It's the land of the free and easy Street



[Girl:]

It's the home of the damned



[Boy:]

You're never gonna see it



[Both:]

You better open up your eyes



[Girl:]

You're the only one who's left-



[Both:]

Who's gonna believe all your lies



[Boy:]

I can't explain it away

It doesn't make any sense



[Both:]

To know what it's like

I guess you gotta go through it

It doesn't matter baby



[Girl:]

Loving you's a dirty job

But somebody's gotta do it



[Boy:]

There were times when our bodies glistened

There were times that we can't stop missing

There were times that we'd lay in bed and listen



[Both:]

To the pounding, pounding [Chorus] of our desperate hearts

Nothing could have torn us apart

There were times we had it all

There were times we had it all



[Girl:]

There were times when we fought like tigers

There were times we were damn good liars



[Boy:]

There were times we extinguished every fire



[Both:]

That was burning, burning, burning up each other alive

From the heavens on down to the dives

There were times we lost it all we lost it all

There were times we lost it all we lost it all



There were times when we fought like tigers

There were times we were damn good liars



There were times when our bodies glistened

There were times that we can't stop missing

There were times that we'd lay in bed and listen

To the pounding, pounding [Chorus] of our desperate hearts

Nothing could have torn us apart

There were times we had it all

There were times we had it all

ROY ORBISON lyrics - Devil Doll

(Orbison)



Devil Doll..........Devil Doll

We went steady in the fall,

We broke up in the spring

Your young lovin blinds,

And you gave me back my ring

Well I see now what my friends saw then,

That you're just not the one

To love someone true

The way I love you,

Oh devil doll



Now I'm not the first one

And I won't be the last,

You'll make my heart

Just another heart you've broken in the past

Don't play a game with another guy,

Don't make me feel so blue,

I'm a guy that's true and I love you

Oh devil doll



Now I'm not the first one

Don't let me be the last,

Don't make my heart

Just another heart you've broken in the past,

Don't play a game with another guy,

Don't make me feel so blue,

I'm a guy that's true and I love you

Oh devil doll (devil doll)

ERIC CLAPTON lyrics - How Long Blues

(Leroy Carr)



How long, baby how long,

Has that evening train been gone?



[Chorus:]

How long,

How how long,

Baby how long?



Went to the station, didn't see no train.

Down in my heart, I have an aching pain.



[Chorus]



I feel disgusted, I feel so bad

Thinking 'bout the good time that I once have had.



[Chorus]



I could see the green grass growing on the hill;

I ain't seen no greenback on a dollar bill.



[Chorus]



You're gonna be sorry, you'll feel so blue.

When you want me, baby, I declare I won't want you.



[Chorus]



Don't have no money for to ride the train.

I would ride the rods, baby, to be with you again.



[Chorus]



How long, baby how long

Must I keep my, my watch in pawn?



[Chorus]

THE KINGSTON TRIO lyrics - Jocko And The Trapeze Lady

(Dick Feller)



He was a boy when the circus first came to the dust of his West Texas town.

And twenty years later, he'd spent twenty years as Jocko the Sad Circus Clown.

He did slap-stick gags in grease paint and rags and the people would laugh 'til they cried.

But they never saw past the painted clown mask to the sad, empty man locked inside.



The trapeze lady swung easy and gracefully, high in the high trapeze swing.

Her parents were flyers. The circus was her life. The carny was deep in her veins.

High in the spotlights in sequins and pink tights, she flew like a bird in the wind.

The saw dust's on daughter, the strong men who caught her were all that she brought to her tent.



Jocko worked down with the center ring clowns with a sad painted smile on his face

And the trapeze lady swung easy and gracefully high in the great canvas space.

Jocko looked up with a tear in his heart and, Lord, he wished he could fly

For she never looked down at a baggy pants clown who looked up with love in his eyes.



It was Tulsa, the last stop, the last show of the big top, a loud, sell-out crowd filled the seats.

They clapped for the walk-around and cheered for the clowns. The fliers brought them to their feet.

Then a still half-lit match fell in tender dry grass and soon found the dry saw dust floor.

The flames leaped higher. When the people heard, "Fire!" they swept like a wave for the door.



Jocko looked up to the top of the tent and a hundred feet from the ground

Swung the trapeze lady, up on the high swing, alone, with no way to get down.

He ran to the ladder that led to the platform, she cried, "Jocko, no! There's no time!"

But her quick word of fear fell deaf on love's ear as slowly he started to climb.



Hand over hand to the high flier's stand, taking the rope that hung there

With one quick look down, the sad circus clown looked up and took to the air.

Slow then slowly he started to swing, his eyes turned to tears in the smoke.

Faster then faster and as he swung past her, her strong flier hands found the rope.



She slipped to the ground as the flames found the rigging and licked at the rope that he held.

He'd started below when the rigging let go and down to the saw dust he fell.

She ran to his side and with tears in her eyes, "Oh, no! Jocko, why?" she cried.

He raised his sad head. "I loved you," he said and he closed his eyes and he died.



Now, the trapeze lady swings easy and gracefully high in the great canvass space.

But a place and a time are still etched in her mind of a smile painted on a sad face.

And she sometimes looks down to the center ring clowns for someone she never has found.

For she still remembers the time when love came to her wearing the face of a clown.

ELLA FITZGERALD lyrics - Frosty The Snowman

Frosty the Snowman



Was a jolly happy soul



With a corncob pipe and a button nose



And two eyes made out of coal

Frosty the Snowman



Is a fairytale they say



He was made of snow



But the children know



How he came to life one day

There must have been some magic



In that old silk hat they found



For when they placed it on his head



He began to dance around

Frosty the Snowman



Was alive as he could be



And the children say



He could laugh and play



Just the same as you and me

Frosty the Snowman



Knew the sun was hot that day



So he said let's run



And we'll have some fun



Now before I melt away

Down to the village



With a broomstick in his hand



Running here and there all around the square



Saying catch me if you can

He led them down the streets of town



Right to the traffic cop



And he only paused a moment when



He heard him holler stop

Frosty the Snowman



Had to hurry on his way



But he waved goodbye



Saying don't you cry



I'll be back again some day

Thumpety thump thump



Thumpety thump thump



Look at Frosty go



Thumpety thump thump



Thumpety thump thump



Over the hills of snow

ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA II lyrics - Heartbreaker

One look and you know she's trouble

Ruby red lips and flashing eyes

Can't resist, you just gotta have her

Ooh it's a feeling that you can't disguise

You're booked on a one way ticket

I can tell you that you're going nowhere

She's a drug and you're not gonna kick it

Heartbreak city, she'll take you there



I know I've been here before

I read the script, I know the score

There's no rules, she plays her own game

She's a real heartbreaker and she brings on the rain



Rain (falling from the skies, falling from your eyes)

Rain (falling from the skies, falling from your eyes)



Thunder, can't you hear it crashing?

Storm clouds are waiting for you up ahead

Lightning, can't you see it flashing?

You haven't listened to a word I've said



Rain (falling from the skies, falling from your eyes)

Rain (falling from the skies, falling from your eyes)

Rain (falling from the skies, falling from your eyes)

Rain (falling from the skies, falling from your eyes)



Rain (falling from the skies, falling from your eyes)

Rain (falling from the skies, falling from your eyes)

Rain (She's a real heartbreaker, a heartbreaker)

Rain (falling from the skies, falling from your eyes)

BARCLAY JAMES HARVEST lyrics - Crazy City

Running alone in the crazy city

Look at the face of once were pretty

People then wonder what happened

To make it that way

Listen around you, have you heard?

Climb on the back of a silver bird

London to L. A. before you can think

What to say



Stop awhile, take a smile

Know that you're living in today

Up and down, look around

No need to hide yourself away



Out in the country's where I'm going

Back where the tree of life's still growing

Take a free ride where the tide

Flows the way of your heart



Follow the wild dove where he's flying

Out where the sun is never crying

Wait at the gate or they'll stop you

And blow you apart



Stop awhile, take a smile

Know that you're living in today

Up and down, look around

No need to hide yourself away

IRVING BERLIN lyrics - Russian Lullaby

[Verse:]

Where the dreamy Volga flows

There's a lonely Russian Rose

Gazing tenderly

Down upon her knee

Where a baby's brown eyes glisten

Listen



[Refrain:]

Ev'ry night you'll hear her croon

A Russian lullaby



Just a little plaintive tune

When baby starts to cry



Rock-a-bye my baby

Somewhere there may be



A land that's free for you and me

And a Russian lullaby

GLORIA ESTEFAN lyrics - Esperando

Esperando, Esperando:

Por el dia que en mi Cuba

Otra vez se respire esperanza, hermandad y alegria



Hay que pensar que lo bueno vendra en el camino

Lo malo esta en el pasado y queda en el olvido

Ya no perdamos el tiempo con viejos rencores

Canta, celebra, se acercan ya tiempos mejores



Cuando Cuba sea libre, vamo' a celebrar

Son montuno pa' mi cuba, ay yo le vengo aqui a brindar

Cuando Cuba sea libre, vamo' a celebrar

Somos una sola casa, los de aqui y los de alla

Cuando Cuba sea libre, vamo' a celebrar

Y seguro que muy pronto voy a poder regresar



Esperando, esperando:

Reunirme con mi pueblo

Una fiesta que seque es su llanto y cumpla sus suenos



Todos bailando felices brindando al destino

Dejando atras tantos anos de anhelos perdidos

Sera el momento de juntos sanar corazones

Para aquel hombre que es libre no existen temores



Cuando Cuba sea libre, vamo' a celebrar

Yo conozco a mas de uno que por mi camino va

Cuando Cuba sea libre, vamo' a celebrar

Siempre mantenla presente, no la vayas a olvidar

Cuando Cuba sea libre, vamo' a celebrar

Un pregon en Santa Clara lo repiten en la Habana

Cuando Cuba sea libre, vamo' a celebrar

Un son le quiero ofrecer a la tierra que me vio nacer



Por alla en Pinar de Rio, vamo' a celebrar

Los aires libres de la Habana, vamo' a celebrar

En las playas de Matanza, vamo' a celebrar

Con cana y cafe de Las Villas, vamo' a celebrar

Afina los cueros Camaguey, vamo' a celebrar

Se oye el son alla en Oriente, vamo' a celebrar

Cuando Cuba sea libre, vamo' a celebrar

Nunca olvides el camino de tu patria y tus amigos

Cuando Cuba sea libre, vamo' a celebrar

MEMPHIS MINNIE lyrics - I'm Gonna Bake My Biscuits

(Memphis Minnie)



I got a brand new skillet and a brand new lid

I ain't got no stove but I bake my bread

I'm gonna bake my biscuits

I'm gonna bake my biscuits

I'm gonna bake my biscuits

Ain't gonna give nobody none



I'm gonna lock my door, nail my windows all down

You know by that, I don't want no bums around

I'm gonna bake my biscuits

I'm gonna bake my biscuits

I'm gonna bake my biscuits

Ain't gonna give nobody none



I ain't got no flour and ain't got no meal

If you got no man you got to rob and steal

I'm gonna bake my biscuits

I'm gonna bake my biscuits

I'm gonna bake my biscuits

Ain't gonna give nobody none



I'm-a tell you something I don't know if I'm wrong or right

But if you want my bread, you got to stay all night

I'm gonna bake my biscuits

I'm gonna bake my biscuits

I'm gonna bake my biscuits

Ain't gonna give nobody none



Ain't no need of you getting mad now, and poking out your mouth

You ain't gonna give me no bread when my bread runs out

I'm gonna bake my biscuits

I'm gonna bake my biscuits

I'm gonna bake my biscuits

Ain't gonna give nobody none



Come here, come here, I want you to come here now

I ain't got tight for my bread ain't brown

I'm gonna bake my biscuits

I'm gonna bake my biscuits

I'm gonna bake my biscuits

Ain't gonna give nobody none

TOM VERLAINE lyrics - O Foolish Heart

(Verlaine)



Watching the curtains tremble,

Time trickling away,

On a bright and freezing afternoon.

I remember oh so well

The sweetness in your voice,

When you said I belong to you,

Honey I do.



You know I gotta say to myself,

"O foolish heart, silly thing,

You hear any old tune and you sing,

You sing..."



Seasons pass...

It's so quiet, I hear the raindrops

Splashing on the leaves

Somehow it brings your face to mine.

And the tapping of a branch

On my window pane,

Somehow it's ravaging my sense of time,

My sense of time...



I gotta say to myself,

"O foolish heart, silly thing,

You hear any old tune and you sing,

You sing..."

I say to myself,

"O foolish heart, crazy thing,

You hear any old tune and you sing,

You sing..."



My foolish heart



You know I tell myself,

"O foolish heart, silly thing,

You hear any old tune and you sing,

You sing..."

I say to myself,

"O foolish heart, crazy thing,

You hear any old tune and you sing,

You sing..."

SMOKEY ROBINSON lyrics - I've Got You Under My Skin

(C. Porter)



I've got you under my skin.

I've got you deep in the heart of me.

So deep in my heart that you're really a part of me.

I've got you under my skin.

I'd tried so not to give in.

I said to myself: this affair never will go so well.

But why should I try to resist when, baby, I know so well

I've got you under my skin?



I'd sacrifice anything come what might

For the sake of havin' you near

In spite of a warnin' voice that comes in the night

And repeats, repeats in my ear:

Don't you know, little fool, you never can win?

Use your mentality, wake up to reality.

But each time that I do just the thought of you

Makes me stop before I begin

'Cause I've got you under my skin.



I would sacrifice anything come what might

For the sake of havin' you near

In spite of the warning voice that comes in the night

And repeats - how it yells in my ear:

Don't you know, little fool, you never can win?

Why not use your mentality - step up, wake up to reality?

But each time I do just the thought of you

Makes me stop just before I begin

'Cause I've got you under my skin.

Yes, I've got you under my skin.

CARLY SIMON lyrics - Back Down To Earth

(Carly Simon)



We jumped into a river on the moon

But the water was too cold

We tried to buy the morning star

But it was already sold

I wanted to make it big with you

But my plans must have been to bold



And it's back down to earth again

Back in my car and gone

Back on the road

Back on the road alone



You were my summer angel

You're eyes how they shone

Just last night we were talking about

How much our love had grown

I wanted to prove how good it could be

But my plans will have to be postponed



'Cause it's back down to earth again

Back in my car and gone

Back on the road

Back on the road alone

THE BYRDS lyrics - Natural Harmony

(Hillman)



Fallin' free, me and you

Happenin' so graciously

You can't hurry natural harmony



Feel so free, wider than me

Seems just like the day of birth

Our first awakening to this earth



Dancing through the streets side by side

Head thrown back, arms open wide



Going home, almost gone

Merging with a grain of sand

Try hard to catch us if you can



Dancing through the streets side by side

Head thrown back, arms open wide

MOODY BLUES lyrics - After You Came

Since it began I've got one dream and really It's my only blessing

If I can come through then so can you

And you will find there's no regretting

Things that you want from your life's font

Will never let your spirit grow

Come back to earth for what it's worth

For you've been dreaming of the ceiling not a home



I've been doing my best

What else can I do?

Is there something I've missed

That will help you through



I've reached the top of my wall

I've found another way to fall



For some short time

For a while you and I were joined to eternity

Then we're split in two back to me and you

Like the rain rising from the sea

Rising from the sea



We all can see what we shall be

But knowing's really not controlling



With time perhaps I'll pass the traps and find some peace and understanding

After you've come and while you're gone

You leave me guessing - It's depressing

Never to know the way to go to find some time along a little less pressing

So you just have to laugh

When it hurts so much

You're so far away and so hard to touch



I've reached the top of my wall

I've found another way to fall



Since it began I've got one dream and really It's my only blessing

If I can come through then so can you

And you will find there's no regretting

Things that you want from your life's font

Will never let your spirit grow

Come back to earth for what it's worth

For you've been dreaming of the ceiling not a home



I've been doing my best

What else can I do?

Is there something I've missed

That will help you through



I've reached the top of my wall

I've found another way to fall

SUZI QUATRO lyrics - American Lady

American lady

Good old american child

American lady

Good old american child



I've been around every single town - london to tokyo

I've seen the world from inside out

And what i want to know

Whare did all those good times go

Where can we play our rock 'n' roll

I am going home again

Stateside is where i'm bound



American lady

Good old american child

American lady

Your arms are open so wide

I want you - america

I need you - america

I miss - america



Left to find a golden rainbow

I flew across the sea

We would play staccato ballads

My band of boys and me

Now i've got everything i wanted

But there's one thing more

I hear them calling me

And i'm coming home



American lady

Good old american child

I hear you calling wildly

And i'm coming home

Home to - america

I need you - america

I miss - america



I want you - america

I need you - america

J. J. CALE lyrics - Crying

(J. J. Cale)



Every time I see you, all that you do

Crying, crying, crying

You've been shedding them tears for too many years

Crying, crying, crying

You've been lonely too long, something went wrong

Did he leave you again with them blues

Your sun don't shine, your day's no round

Crying, crying, crying

You've been lonely too long, something went wrong

Did he leave you again with them blues

Happy your day, I'm comin' your way

No more crying, crying, crying

METALLICA lyrics - Ain't My Bitch

(Hetfield / Ulrich)



Outta my way

Outta my day

Out of your mind and into mine



Into no one

Into not one

Into your step but out of time



Headstrong

What's wrong?

I've already heard this song before

You arrived, but now it's time to kiss your ass goodbye



Dragging me down

Why you around?

So useless



It ain't my fall

It ain't my call

It ain't my bitch

It ain't my bitch



Down on the sun

Down and no fun

Down and out, where the hell you been?



Damn it all down

Damn it unbound

Damn it all down to hell again



Stand tall

Can't fall

Never even bend at all before

You arrived, but now it's time to kiss your ass goodbye



Dragging me down

Why you around?

So useless



It ain't my fall

It ain't my call

It ain't my bitch



Outta my way



Outta my way

Outta my day

Out of your mind and into mine



Into no one

Into not one

Into your step but out of time



Headstrong

What's wrong?

I've already heard this song before

You arrived, but now it's time to kiss your ass goodbye

And now it's time to kiss your ass goodbye



Dragging me down

While you around?

So useless



It ain't my fall

It ain't my call

It ain't my bitch



No way but down

Why you're around

No fooling



It ain't my smile

It ain't my style

It ain't my bitch

Oh, it ain't mine



Ain't mine

Your kind

You're stepping out of time



Ain't mine

Your kind

You're stepping out of time



Taking me down

Why you around

No fooling



It ain't my fall

It ain't my call

It ain't my bitch

You ain't mine

BRIAN MAY lyrics - Driven By You

(Brian May)



Oh - everything I do I do for you

Oh yeah

We touch and you're afraid of me and

We burn and now I'm at your feet

High speed, but you know you're in safe hands

In the dark we make a brighter light

From one spark to the horizon wide

We trust and together we tame the land - yeah

You'd be forgiven if you think you're dreaming

But we're working night and day to make a dream come true

Yeah

Everything I do is driven by you

Oh - come on babe



Oh well it's tough to make a journey through

The right stuff is dead ahead of you and me

And you know we've still got time

Hold on tight to the driving wheel

This ride is really out of line

Raw deal, but there's no other that's worth a dime



You know I love you but you drive me crazy

'Cos you're saying all the things I want to say to you

You say

Everything I do is driven by you



Everything we do [4x]

Everything we do is driven by you



Inner children lost their way

Now they know the price you pay

I'm holding on to life with you

'Cos life without you just won't do



Driven by you



You know I'm never going to know who's dreaming

But we're working night and day to make a dream come true

Yeah

Everything I do is driven by you



Everything we do [8x]

Everything we do is driven by

Driven by

Driven by you



Oh - everything I do I do for you

BRYAN FERRY lyrics - Windswept

Oh baby do it again and again

I can hear nothing

Windswept is the sand



Oh baby show me more

I can see nothing

Windswept is the shore



Heatwave to nightshade

Oh Iґm feeling swept away



Oh baby donґt leave me there

With a low whisper

Windswept on the air



You say itґs nothing

But a game to play

Oh Iґm feeling swept away



Slow baby you can take your time

I can hear nothing

Windswept is on the tide



A feeling only or state of mind

You can take me high mama

Mama take me high

STRAY CATS lyrics - Cryin' Shame

Well I'm in love with you baby

And I do declare it's a cryin' shame

Well I'm in love with you baby

Well I'm sending you right back home

Let your mother take care of you

What else is there that I can do

I love you alnight long darling

What else is there that I can do

MARVIN GAYE lyrics - I Won't Cry Anymore

I won't cry anymore, now that you've left me

I won't cry anymore, now that you're gone

I've shed a million tears since we're apart

But tears can never mend a broken heart



I won't sigh anymore, I'll just forget you

And I'm closing the door of memories

Though you're the one love that my arms are longin' for

This is goodbye, I won't cry anymore

AMBROSIA lyrics - Mama Don't Understand

(Puerta - Pack)



My mama don't understand

She's impossible to the core

Now she says that she's gettin' married

He's a friend of a friend of the boy next door



He's got all of the best intentions

Half of a school degree

But when he does his song and dancin'

They know they can be happy as the shows on TV



She needs a change, she wants a life

Where she can grow and they can thrive

Some kind of space of her own



A different view

Another slant

Another way

Another chance

To get on with her life



(Mama she don't understand)

Mama she don't

She don't even know

She don't know

She don't understand



She's gotta know

If she can cut life on her own

But like the man says,

"You can never go home again"



You gotta come see the new place

Mom, you're gonna feel right at home

Could you just front that deposit

Mama, we'll pay you back when the welfare check comes

Nothin's gone as expected

No one knows all the trouble we've seen

But we'll pull ourselves together

It's the two of us now

Of course, baby makes three



A little luck

An even break

We'll find a way

To have our cake

And even eat a piece or two



We'll show you how

We're winnin' now

We'll live it up

Can't keep 'em down



Woh-wa-no-no-no-no

Woh-wa-no-no-no-no

Woh-wa-no-no-no-no

Woh-wa-no-no-no-no



She don't understand me

She don't understand me



So mama, please understand

(Mama, please understand)

If it's possible, we implore

Could we just move in these few things

We won't get in the way

And we'll sleep on the floor

Cuz, times have been getting tougher

(Times have been getting tough)

It's an unfriendly world outside

They say things will pick up by summer

Can we borrow the car

Will you watch little Clyde,

Thanks a lot



Woh-wa-no-no-no-no

Mama don't understand

Woh-wa-no-no-no-no

Mama don't understand me

Woo-wa-doo

Woo-wa-doo-ooo



Woh-wa-no-no-no-no

Mama don't understand

Woh-wa-no-no-no-no

Mama don't understand me

(Mama don't understand me)

Woo-wa-doo

Woo-wa-doo-ooo

(Mama don't understand me, no)



Woh-wa-no-no-no-no

Mama don't understand

Woh-wa-no-no-no-no

She don't understand me

Woo-wa-doo

Woo-wa-doo-ooo
