THE POGUES lyrics - Pachinko



(Jem Finer)



I'm walking down Roppongi

The night is hot and smoggy

I drink a little coffee

A sake and a beer

I run into a ginja man

He speaks but I don't understand

He grins at me and takes my hand

And whispers in my ear



[Chorus:]

I play Deji Pachi

I play Deji Pachi

I play Deji Pachi

In my Pachinko dream

I go Uchi Domi

I go Uchi Domi

I go Uchi Domi

In my Pachinko dream



My senses all asunder

I stand and stare in wonder

There's bright light and there's thunder

In Pachinko land



Well versed in the way of Zen

My pockets lined full of yen

I walk the aisle and back again

And sit at Domo's hand



[Chorus]



I'm on the lexus fever

My hand tight on the lever

I'm shrieking like a diva

Staring in a trance



Turn the handle to the right

A stream of silver balls in flight

It screams and howls a blaze of light

The earth moves below me

I'm laughing tears of sheer delight

As I go Uchi Domi



[Chorus]


THE EAGLES lyrics - Doolin-Dalton / Desperado Reprise



The queen of diamonds let you down,

She was just an empty fable

The queen of hearts you say you never met

Your twisted fate has found you out

And it' fin'lly turned the tables

Stole your dreams and paid you with regret

Desperado

(Is there gonna be anything left, is there gonna be anything?)

You sealed your fate up a long time ago

(Ain't it hard when you're all alone in the center ring?)

Now there's no time left to borrow

(Is there gonna be anything left?)

Only stardust

(Maybe tomorrow)

Maybe tomorrow

Maybe tomorrow

Desperado

Desperado



Well the stage was set the sun was sinkin' low down

As they came to town to face another showdown

The lawmen cleared the people from the streets

"All you blood - thirsty bystanders, will you try to

find your seats?"

Watch 'em duelin'

Doolin-Dalton

High or low, it's all the same

Easy money and faithless women

You will never kill the pain



Go down, Bill Doolin, don't you wonder why

Sooner or later we all have to die?

Sooner or later, that's a stone-cold fact,

Four men ride out and only three ride back

MOTLEY CRUE lyrics - On With The Show



Frankie died just the other night

Some say it was suicide

But we know

How the story goes



With his six string knife

And his street wise pride

The boy was a man before his time

And she knew

All their dreams would come true



But ya see, Frankie was fast

Too fast to know

He wouldn't go slow

Until his lethal dose

And she knows

He'll finally come too close



[Chorus:]

Well, on with the show

Going on with the show

Come on baby

No, no, no

Oh my, my, my. . . [repeat]



He was bad

He was never good

But one thing that he understood

And she knew

All those lies would come true The time has come and

He's paid his dues

Suzy finally got the news

She always knew

This day would come soon



[Chorus 2x]



He was stopped on a dime

With a switchblade knife

Some damn punk went and

Took Frankie's life

And she knew

She'd have to pull through



Broken down, with his broken dreams

With a wink of an eye

Said Suzy, listen to me

You must go

On with the show



Go on with the show

Going on with the show

Come on baby

No nono

Oh my my my my [repeat]



Oh baby


AIR SUPPLY lyrics - Dancing With The Mountain



(Graham Russell, Michael Sherwood, David Young)



Hot sun as warm as the kissing of the wind

Footsteps in perfect time

Heartbeat as loud as the whisper in the wood

Hold me this dance is mine

The dance is mine



We are alone, your love excites me

You are the earth moving inside me



I feel like dancing with the mountain

Feel the rhythm walking on air

Feel like dancing with the mountain

Feel the rhythm dancing with the mountain



We climb up into the shelter of the sky

Footsteps on higher ground

Your voice as soft as a river running dry

Hold me this dance is mine



We are alone, your love's exciting me

You are the earth moving inside me



I feel like dancing with the mountain

Feel the rhythm walking on air

I feel like dancing with the mountain

Feel the rhythm dancing with the mountain



I feel like dancing with the mountain

Feel the rhythm walking on air

I feel like dancing with the mountain

Feel the rhythm dancing with the mountain


SUZANNE VEGA lyrics - In The Eye



If you were to kill me now right here

I would still look you in the eye

And I would burn myself into your memory

as long as you were still alive



I would live inside of you

I'd make you wear me like a scar

And I would burn myself

into your memory

and run through everything you are



I would not run, I would not turn, I would not hide [X2]



In the eye



If you were to kill me now right here

I would still look you in the eye

And I would burn myself

into your memory

as long as you were still alive



I would not run, I would not turn, I would not hide [X2]



In the eye

Look me in the eye


HEART lyrics - Queen City



Once when I was just a child

Little creature runnin' wild

In Queen City

Something happened to me there

They slip it to me in the air

In Queen City



Evening shadows started to glow

Colors like you'll never know

Sitting pretty on the hill

Ancient of a million thrills



Yo-ho, yo-ho, gotta keep afloat

Crazy cradle in my leaky boat

Yo-ho, yo-ho, gotta keep afloat

Crazy cradle in my leaky boat



Take me home

Home



Later on, I got around

Stories of the underground

In Queen City

Tales of love and squandering and

Tales of spirits wandering

In Queen City



Tumble, crawl, and reaching bold

Fill it till the glass is full

Standing, screaming, on a hill

Little creature loves me still



Yo-ho, yo-ho, gotta keep afloat

Crazy cradle in my leaky boat

Yo-ho, yo-ho, got to keep afloat

Crazy cradle in this leaky boat



Can you take me home

Take me, take me back home



Gotta keep afloat now

In my leaky boat, hmm

(Take me, take me, home)

In Queen City

In my leaky boat

Queen City, yeah

(Take me, take me, home)

In Queen City

(Queen City)

(Take me, take me, home)

In my leaky boat

Gotta keep afloat now

(Take me, take me, home)

Queen City (whoa)

In my leaky boat

In my leaky boat

VAN MORRISON lyrics - Too Many Myths



(Van Morrison)



Too many myths

People just assuming things that aren't true

There's too many myths

Coming between me and you

You might have your name up in lights

But you still have to keep your game uptight



Too many myths

Tell me, tell me how you gonna cope with this

Too many myths

You act like you've never been kissed

You put your name up in lights

And now you gotta keep your game uptight



You got problems

I got problems too

Everybody's gonna think

There must be something wrong with you because

There's just too many myths

Can't you see I'm just trying to stay in the game

Just too many myths

I'm just trying to maintain

Sure I got my name in lights

But I've still gotta keep my game uptight



[Instrumental break]



You got problems

And I got problems too

But that doesn't necessarily mean that

There's something wrong with you

There's just too many myths,

Baby I'm just trying to stay in the game

There's far too many myths

I'm just trying to maintain

I got my name up in lights

But I'm just trying to keep my game uptight


BUDDY & JULIE MILLER lyrics - Wallflower



(Bob Dylan)



Wallflower, wallflower

Won't you dance with me

I'm sad and lonely too

Wallflower, wallflower

Won't you dance with me

I'm fallin' in love with you



Just like you I'm wondrin' what I'm doin' here

Just like you I'm wondrin' what's goin' on



Wallflower, wallflower

Won't you dance with me

The night will soon be gone



I have seen you standing in the smoky haze

And I know that you're gonna be mine one of these days



Wallflower, wallflower

Take a chance on me

Please let me ride you home

MARK KNOPFLER lyrics - We Can Get Wild



We're old enough for leaving home

The old joanna and the old trombone

It's all going on

I'm growing my sideboards long

And you and me

Can be who we want to be

Listen now, right here

It's going to be a beautiful year



They're calling it the teenage scene

And I have a dream

Don't know if I'll be a star

But I'm going to play guitar

I've seen this rocking cat

Oh, I want to be just like that

Listen now, right here

It's going to be a beautiful year



Hey, look at you, baby

Tell your daddy you're no child

Hey, look at you, baby

We can get wild



We'll be on our own

Billy Fury on the gramophone

Take you to the pictures and a dance

Me in my drainpipe pants

Check the mirror and the old DA

And you can play in a day

Listen now, right here

It's going to be a beautiful year



Hey, look at you, baby

Tell your daddy you're no child

Hey, look at you, baby

We can get wild


BOB SEGER SYSTEM lyrics - Teachin Blues



Yeah hell yeah now I can hear the gypsy wind a howlin'

Ain't got time to lean against your wall

I gotta hit the road and keep on movin'

I'm gonna roll and smoke and boogie and ball now



Been abused, got my shoes, paid my dues, teachin' blues



Yeah I'm goin' ridin' to the gates of freedom

Cruisin till the sun she falls

I'm gonna follow my god into Eden

While I roll and smoke and boogie and ball

Light my fuse, get to choose, teachin' blues


BUDDY & JULIE MILLER lyrics - Last Song



(Bill Mallonee and Julie Miller)



May your peace be anchor in stormy tide,

May your hope run like a river that'll never run dry,

May your burdens grow light, may your worries subside,

This is my prayer for you.



May your soul grow deep, may your joy run wild,

May your heart know the face of mercy has smiled,

May your faith come to let you believe like a child,

This is my prayer for you.



This is my prayer for you.

BARRY MANILOW lyrics - In Search Of Love



There is somebody

In this world somebody

She was but on earth for me

Where can her love be?

See, I'm no exception

I need real affection

What's life worth living for

If no to give it all



So...I'm reaching out

I'm in search of love

You're everything that I'm dreamin' off

I can't give up, no!

I'm reaching out

I'm in search of love



Been on my own for long enough

Well, I'm going crazy

Only you can save me

From the tears and loneliness

Girl, I must confess

That day or night time

There is no right time

For a heart to be alone

I just can't go on



So...I'm reaching out

I'm in search of love

You're everything that I'm dreamin' off

I can't give up, no!

I'm reaching out

I'm in search of love



Been on my own for long enough

Don't make me beg

Don't make me plead

Just go ahead and give me what I need

Set me free

Answer me

Can't you hear me calling out to you

I'm reaching out

I'm in search of love

You're everything that I'm dreamin' off

I can't give up, no!



I'm reaching out

I'm in search of love

You're everything that I'm dreamin' off

I can't give up, no!

I'm in search of love

You're everything that I'm dreamin' off

I'm reaching out

I'm in search of love

You're everything that I'm dreamin' off

I can't give up, no!


SKID ROW (GARY MOORE) lyrics - Mar



(Brendan "Brush" Shiels)



Don't ask me if I'll ever leave you lonely,

I couldn't bear to think how you might feel.

Ask me if I will always love you only,

And I will answer you with a love so real.



'Cause you're the only love I've ever had.

You're the only one who makes me sad and glad.

And I never wanted to be any other way.



Don't ask me if I'll act like I've never met you,

Nothing could be further from my mind.

Ask me if I will never ever forget you,

And I'll say no, not even at the end of time.



'Cause you're the only love I've ever had.

You're the only one who makes me sad and glad.

And I never wanted to be any other way.



Smile, please won't you smile?

Oh, I'll only be gone for suppers a while.

Hm, oh no, oh, oh.



Don't ask me if I'll ever take another,

Could hurt me more than you'll ever know.

Tell me how, how could I ever love any other?

My heart belongs to you such a long time ago.



'Cause you're the only love I've ever had.

You're the only one who makes me sad and glad.

And I never wanted to be any other way.



No other way.

Not any other, other way.

Not any other way.


LENNY KRAVITZ lyrics - I Don't Want To Be A Star



I don't want to be a star

Just want my chevy and an old guitar

I don't want to be a star

I don't need the fat cigar



My friends wonder what is wrong with me

'Cause I don't get off on my fame

I got so much confusion now

Sometimes I don't even know my name



I don't want to be a star

Just want my chevy and an old guitar

I don't want to be a star

I don't need the fat cigar



Too many distractions run through my brain

So many girls they start to look the same

Too many options no time to choose

Too many clothes, too many shoes



I've had the world I've done it upside down

I played the part and I've been the clown

Now it's my time, it's a brand new day

To be myself in a different way



I don't want to be a star

Just want my chevy and an old guitar

I don't want to be a star

I don't need the fat cigar



I got to meet all the wonderful people

I drank with Dylan boy did we act a fool

I got to meet all the fabulous people

I got high with Jagger, it was really cool



I don't want to be a star

Just want my chevy and an old guitar

I don't want to be a star

I don't need the fat cigar



Never, never, never

Never, never, never

Never, never, never

Never, never, never, hey



I say never no no

I say never no no no

I say never no no

I say never no no

I say never no no

I say never no no no no

Never, never



I don't want to be a star

Just want my chevy and an old guitar

I don't want to be a star

I don't need no fat cigar

VELVET REVOLVER lyrics - Just Sixteen



(Velvet Revolver)



At school the teacher saw

The talent in your eye

So pleased to meet you

So young, so pretty, so unsatisfied



Under the bleachers sat

The kid and Mrs. Jones

He's her favorite secret

Duly disconcerted lovers 101



We ain't got nothin' to hide, hide

We ain't got nothin' to hide, hide, hide

We ain't got nothin' to hide, hide

We ain't got nothin' nothin' nothin' to hide



Oh you say it's wrong, you say what you do

You do, you do

Oh you say we're wrong, you say what we do

We do, we do

Oh you say it's wrong, you say what you do

You do, you do

Oh you say we're wrong you say what we do

We do, we do wrong

We do wrong

You do wrong



Rolling in the street lights

In his old man's ride

Head in his lap going, up and down



Up and down, oh no, cop lights

Standing in the courthouse

In front of God and every child

She said Your Honor I plead to

The crime of being satisfied



We ain't got nothin' to hide, hide

We ain't got nothin' to hide, hide, hide

We ain't got nothin' to hide, hide

We ain't got nothin' nothin' nothin' to hide



Oh you say it's wrong, you say what you do

You do, you do

Oh you say we're wrong, you say what we do

We do, we do

Oh you say it's wrong, you say what you do

You do, you do

Oh you say we're wrong you say what we do

We do, we do wrong



I'm kinda feeling in love

I'm kinda feeling in love

I'm kinda feeling in love

I'm kinda feeling in love

I'm kinda feeling in love

I'm kinda feeling in love

I'm kinda feeling in love

I'm kinda feeling in love



Oh you say it's wrong, you say what you do

You do, you do

Oh you say we're wrong, you say what we do

We do, we do

Oh you say it's wrong, you say what you do

You do, you do

Oh you say we're wrong you say what we do

We do, we do wrong

We do wrong

We do wrong

We do wrong

We do wrong

We do wrong

We do wrong

We do wrong

We do wrong

We do wrong


MADONNA lyrics - Thief Of Hearts



Bitch!

You're a thief of hearts and now you'll have to pay

How many licks does it take?

You're a thief of hearts and now you'll have to pay

Which leg do you want me to break?

You'll be sorry



Here she comes, little miss thinks she can have what she wants

In a blink of an eye

Here she comes, acts like she's your best friend

Then you turn your back and she's off with your guy



[Chorus:]



She's a thief of hearts

What will happen to the thief of hearts

What she's done is a crime

She's a thief of hearts

Someone please arrest her

She's a thief of hearts

No one ever takes what's mine



And gets away with it

Not this time



Here she comes, acting all dejected

So you give advice and she gives you her poison

Here she comes, little miss black widow

First she spins her web and she's stealing your boyfriend



[chorus]



Thief of hearts, bitch



[Intermediate:]



You'll do it, you'll take it

You'll screw it, you'll fake it

Undo it, you'll break it

You're over, you can't take it

[repeat]



You can't take it, not what's mine

I could break you, 'cause what you've done is a crime, bitch

He's mine



Here she comes, little miss thinks she can have his child

Well anybody can do it

Here she comes, little susie ho-maker

Thinks she'll get respect if she screws it



[chorus]



Thief of hearts, bitch



[intermediate]



You can't take it, not what's mine

You'll be sorry, 'cause what you've done is a crime



She's a thief of hearts

Thief of hearts, what she's done is a crime

She's a thief of hearts

Thief of hearts, no one ever takes what's mine

She's a thief, thief

She's a thief, thief of hearts

No one ever takes what's mine



You're a thief of hearts and now you'll have to pay

How many licks does it take?

You're a thief of hearts and now you'll have to pay

Which leg do you want me to break?

Stop bitch

Now sit your ass down

CHICAGO lyrics - Come In From The Night



How many times have I seen you running;

Just one step ahead of the past?

So many nights have I seen it coming;

I try to talk to you when you pass.



I don't know who you were before I met you;

You keep your secret safe with a mask.

It's almost as though the truth is out to get you;

You're just a runaway from the past.



Girl, we've got a love worth keeping.

Maybe there's a way to let it go.

Someday when your demons are sleeping,

Let me know, let me know.



Come out of the darkness, baby,

Come in from the night.

You can let the light

Wash it from your mind.

Open the blinds.



So many times have I seen you crying,

Never knowing what it's about.

I do my best, I just keep on trying

To find a way inside to let it out.



Girl, we've got a love worth making.

It would be a shame to close the show.

Now you got a chance worth taking,

Let me know, let me know.



Come out of the darkness, baby,

Come in from the night.

You can let the light

Wash it from your mind.



Come out of the darkness, baby,

Come in from the night.

Open up your life,

Leave the past behind.

Open up the blinds.


THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS lyrics - Drink!



I'll take back my pinata it's wasted on you

Just spinning that pool cue all over the room

And give back the blindfold that's under your shoe



Let's drink, drink this town is so great

Drink, drink cuz it's never too late

To drink, drink to no big surprise

But what words rhyme with buried alive

What words rhyme with buried alive



You could be a float for the 4th of july

Based on your theme of wallflowers grown wild

Look thru your peephole, you've won every prize



Let's drink, drink this town is so great

Drink, drink cuz it's never too late

To drink, drink to no big surprise

But what words rhyme with buried alive

What words rhyme with buried alive



In your monkey suit on a cigarette break

The lunchtime crowd, they won't even blink

But you'd be sad if they did

But you'll be sad...



Let's drink, drink this town is so great

Drink, drink cuz it's never too late

To drink, drink to no big surprise

But what words rhyme with buried alive

What words rhyme with buried alive

KISS lyrics - Boomerang



Gonna throw down the dice on a roll, it's a showdown, gonna walk on hot coals

Cut the deck, better place your bet, 'cause the game ain't over yet



Wanna keep you under lock and key, can't you see what you do to me

Get the noose, I know I'm gonna hang, 'cause you're like a boomerang, boomerang



On the way up, you change your tune, so pay up, and it ain't too soon

Can't make up or break up, can't feel a thing, you want a piece of everything



First you're cold and then you're hot, you're in the mood and then you're not

Yeah, I know I'll get a bang, 'cause you're like a boomerang, boomerang



You can slip and you can slide, but there ain't nothin' you can hide

You just can't say no, well here I come, baby, and here I go



A boomerang, a boomerang


RATT lyrics - In Your Direction



Well, I saw the time closin' in, you said you're leavin' me

I'm cursed with your heart's perfection

Well, said it's right to believe

Well, months and days, they slowly pass

I'm not waitin' for you

You turned me 'round in your direction

I'm lookin' for you, yeah



(Chorus)



You spin me your way, in your direction

You pull me your way, in your direction



Well, city lights are shinin' on me

Well, said it's time to go

Abusin' you all across the country

Said I feel hot coals, yeah



(Chorus)



Solo



(Chorus) (repeat)


NIRVANA lyrics - Dumb



I'm not like them

But I can pretend

The sun is gone

But I have a light

The day is done

But I'm having fun

I think I'm dumb

Or maybe just happy



Think I'm just happy [x3]



My heart is broke

But I have some glue

Help me inhale

And mend it with you

We'll float around

And hang out on clouds

Then we'll come down

And have a hangover



Have a hangover [x3]



Skin the sun

Fall asleep

Wish away

The soul is cheap

Lesson learned

Wish me luck

Soothe the burn

Wake me up



I'm not like them

But I can pretend

The sun is gone

But I have a light

My day is done

But I'm having fun

I think I'm dumb

Maybe just happy



Think I'm just happy [x3]



I think I'm dumb [x12]


REBA MCENTIRE lyrics - Who?



(Rick Carnes/Chip Hardy)



Who...who's gonna love ya like I do

Who...who ya gonna find that can do the things that I do

Before you say goodbye

You better think about it one more time

And tell me who...who ever held you any tighter

Who...who ya gonna find that can take you any higher

Before you put me down

You better stop and look around

And tell me who...who-who



Well you might just find a match that can kindle your desires

But what good is just one candle

When what you need is fires



And tell me who...who-who-who

Who...who-who/who...who-who



Before I let you go

One thing I've got to know

So tell me who

Who's gonna love ya like I do

Who...who-Who

Who you gonna find that can do the things that I do

Who...who-Who

Who ever held you any tighter

Who...who-Who

Who ya gonna find that can do the things that I do

10,000 MANIACS lyrics - Cherry Tree



(Robert Buck / Natalie Merchant)



Over your shoulder, please don't mind me

If my eyes have fallen onto your magazine

For I've been watching and wondering

Why your face is changing with every line you read.



All those lines and circles, to me, a mystery.

Eve pull down the apple and give taste to me.

If she would be wonderful, but my pride is in the way.

I cannot read to save my life, I'm so ashamed to say.



I live in silence, afraid to speak

Of my life of darkness because I cannot read.



For all those lines and circles, to me, a mystery.

Eve pull down the apple and give taste to me.

If she could it would be wonderful.

Then I wouldn't need someone else's eyes to see what's in front of me.

No one guiding me.



It makes me humble to be so green

At what every kid can do when he learns A to Z,



But all those lines and circles just frighten me

And I fear that I'll be trampled if you don't reach for me.

Before I run I'll have to take a fall.

And then pick myself up, so slowly I'll devour every one of those books in the Tower of Knowledge.


THE KINGSTON TRIO lyrics - So Hi



(Bob Shane/Nick Reynolds/John Stewart)



[Chorus:]

My heaven is so high, you can't get over it. So low, you can't get under it.

So wide, you can't get around it. You gotta come in at the door.



Tell those children, yeah, tell 'em now. You gotta come in at the door.

Don't stand and whisper, just show 'em how. You gotta come in at the door.



[Chorus]



Children of Israel, sing and shout and you gotta come in at the door.

You know the gates of heaven can't keep you out. You gotta come in at the door.



[Chorus]



Now if you're gonna head for the promised land, you gotta come in at the door.

Just step right up and shake his hand. You gotta come in at the door.



My heaven is so high, so low, so wide, you gotta come in at the door.



[Chorus]


PETE TOWNSHEND lyrics - Fast Food



[Dragon:]

Fast food

Feed me fast

I've been waiting for an aeon

And I just won't last

I want fast food

I want food fast



[Woodland Creatures:]

Food fast food

She wants fast food

She wants food fast

Fast food fast



[Dragon:]

No I haven't booked

I don't want it grilled

I don't want it cooked

I don't even want it killed

If it's dead I heave

It makes me sick

So check that it can breathe

And bring it to me quick



I want food - fast

I want fast food

Frisky little children

Served up in the nude

Keep them coming

If you want my gratitude

Bring me food - fast

Now! I want fast food



[Woodland Creatures:]

Food fast food

She wants food fast

She wants fast food

Fast food fast



[Dragon:]

I must say it's gracious

Of you all to multiply

For I am voracious

And I need a huge supply

Of organic, bleeding

Palpitating swill

I'm ready for feeding

And don't want a bill



I want food - fast

I want fast food

Pretty naked girls

Preferably tattooed

I don't like fiber

Especially barbecued

I want food - fast

I want fast food



Long ago

I used to grace

Vegetarian restaurants

Out in space

But here below

I looked and saw

You were growing fat

On the spoils of war



I want food fast

I want fast food

Pulsating organs

Delicately chewed

I want to be like you

Rapacious and crude

I want food - fast

I want fast food



[Woodland Creatures:]

Food fast food

She wants food fast

She wants fast food

Fast food fast



[Dragon and Woodland Creatures:]

It's great to be down-under

It's great to be down under

With you slobbering jackeroos

With us slobbering jackeroos

I'm partial to a chunder

She's partial to a chunder

Over throbbing kangaroos

Over throbbing kangaroos

Now let your women breed

Now let our women breed?

Impale the sacred cow

Impale the sacred cow?

Because I'm dressed to feed

She's dressed to feed

She'll breast feed now



I want food!

Fast food

Because I'm so hungry can't you hear me?

RICKY NELSON lyrics - Three Day Eternity



You know the reason you act the way you do

And so do I, and so do I babe

I've seen the little things

You've never shown me to

Why should I cry babe



Had you only heard me calling

From the rainbows nimbo of now

Where you never let me take you

Halfway to some strange power



You can tell the hour that comes

Bringing all that we can borrow

So close your eyes to the hands

Upon the clock

There is no time, no such thing as time babe



You sit so closely to the door

Counting on the knock

There are no signs babe



If you could only see the thousands

Of the days I'm standing in between

All because you hold my hand so tightly

As we both walk and we laugh



We talk all about tomorrow

We laughed about it, tomorrow

We talked about it, tomorrow

We laughed about it, tomorrow

We talked about it, tomorrow


CARLY SIMON lyrics - The Last Samba



The last samba

The last samba is playing

Don't waste me it seems to be saying

For soon this crescent moon will fade

Becoming only broken shell

And half remembered tunes



So take me then

Here on this sand in the midst of these stars

Swaying in thrall to the fading guitars

Lost on the beach in this trance



They're playing the last samba

Shall we dance?



And half remembered tunes



So take me then

Here on this sand in the midst of these stars

Swaying in thrall to the fading guitars

Lost on the beach in this trance



They're playing the last samba

The last samba

The last samba

Shall we dance?

Hmm, shall we dance?

Shall we dance?


TINA TURNER lyrics - Be Tender With Me Baby



(Albert Hammond & Holly Knight)



You got the right to tell me it's all over

It isn't like me to be, begging you

Don't let go, don't let go

Just stay with me another day

When I'm not myself, please understand me

I'm so confused I don't know, what to do

But don't give up, don't give up

It just may take a little time



[Chorus:]

Be tender with me baby

I'm so afraid you'll go away

Be tender with me baby

Always, for always



I know that you've been patient with my weakness

And that you hate to see me cry

But I know, yes I know

It doesn't hurt to be this way

But I'm so lonely I could die



[Chorus]



Why does my heart keep hurting

Why do I feel like I do

I hope you see this is not really me

It's just a phase that I'm going through



[Chorus]

NEIL YOUNG lyrics - Railroad Town



When the red sun sets

on the railroad town,

And the bars begin to laugh

with a happy sound,

I'll still be here

right by your side,

There'll not be anyone

in my heart but you.



And the dreams that you're having,

they won't let you down,

If you just follow on

'cause you know

where you're bound,

The well will be flowing

and the words will come fast,

When the one who is coming

arrives here at last



On the grassy hills

of the railroad town,

Where we cut through the fences

and over the crown,

Where wind was blowing

right through your hair,

I dreamt that my Momma

and Daddy were there



And the dreams that you're having,

they won't let you down,

If you just follow on

'cause you know

where you're bound,

The well will be flowing

and the words will come fast,

When the one who is coming

arrives here at last



When the red sun sets

on the railroad town,

And bars begin to laugh

with the happy sound,

I'll still be here

right by your side,

There'll not be another

in my heart but you


THE CHURCH lyrics - Tear It All Away



People say to see is to believe

Then they just believe in that they can perceive

What they see is not the total view

Filtered between the me and you

But I'm trying so hard just to tell you I care

And I've wanted so long, to tear it all away

Tear it all away



People say well you just had to be there

And all the time you know they've never been there

And it makes me sad to sit and think

All those empty souls are nearly at the brink

But I'm trying so hard just to open my eyes

To seeing some things that tear it all away

Tear it all away



People grow up and learn to drive some car

But I did that and it doesn't get you far

The things you want are never to be found

And in the end it's all some run around

But I'm trying so hard just to keep to myself

The things that I hope will tear it all away

Tear it all away



I thought you would know

Oh, I thought you would know



People say they think that they are sure

But they turn away and don't go back no more

What they saw was not the perfect sight

Just their own face reflected in the night

But I'm trying so hard just to tell you it's now

And I'm gonna keep on trying

To tear it all away


IGGY POP lyrics - Power & Freedom



All my life I've been polite but

I'm afraid it's _?_

I'm a man I know what I want

Gonna take some nerve to get it

When you feel alone and damned

Like you're living in your hell

You want power, you want freedom



I wanna tell that girl my story

Cause baby you might like my story

When you feel all cut off

And nobody gives you talk

You want power, you want freedom



The loneliness will craze you

Nobody cool will save you

And the system's built to waste you

You want power, freedom



One by one the lives turn over

If you don't jump your life is over

Guess now all that matters

When your spirit's getting flattened

You need power, freedom



The lineliness will craze you

And no one cool will save you

And the system wants to slave you

You want power, freedom



When you feel alone and damned

Like you're living in your hell

When you're feeling all cut off

Nobody gives you talk



And no one cool will save you

The system's built to waste you

The loneliness will craze you

Craze you, craze you, craze you

BONFIRE lyrics - Never Mind



The sun is rising

and it's shining down on me

rainbows in the air

and rainbows in the sea



Rain is falling

and the water still tastes right

a close look at your watch

it's right before midnight



CHORUS

Never mind - see the rainbow in the sky

Never mind - don't you ever wonder why



Catch the starlight

find a hole up in the sky

chasing clouds for a sunset

ain't worth a try



Lost horizons

you know we turned the wheel too fast

who will pay the price

when this time is past



'cause we are children of the earth

in the dead of the night

many eyes will cry



CHORUS


BEASTIE BOYS lyrics - Sneakin' Out The Hospital



Go by the name of the King Adrock rock

Super educated I'm smarter than Spock spock

Everytime you here me you will agree

Ain't no brother like the K-I-D d

You know what I mean? yup yeah

I'm tellin' you with the echo.. I'm tellin' you



"H-H-Help Me" "Ooh"


AEROSMITH lyrics - Amazing



I kept the right ones out

And let the wrong ones in

Had an angel of mercy to see me through all my sins

There were times in my life

When I was goin' insane

Tryin' to walk through

The pain

When I lost my grip

And I hit the floor

Yeah, I thought I could leave but couldn't get out the door

I was so sick and tired

Of livin' a lie

I was wishin that I

Would die



[Chorus:]

It's Amazing

With the blink of an eye you finally see the light

It's Amazing

When the moment arrives that you know you'll be alright

It's Amazing

And I'm sayin' a prayer for the desperate hearts tonight



That one last shot's a Permanent Vacation

And how high can you fly with broken wings?

Life's a journey not a destination

And I just can't tell just what tomorrow brings



You have to learn to crawl

Before you learn to walk

But I just couldn't listen to all that righteous talk, oh yeah

I was out on the street,

Just tryin' to survive

Scratchin' to stay

Alive

[Chorus]



Desperate hearts, desperate hearts

THE BEATLES lyrics - Lonesome Tears In My Eyes



(J and D Burnette/Burlison/Mortimer)



Oh baby baby baby

Blues and sorrow

And I love you tomorrow

Just suit you just fine

Oh baby baby baby

Blues and sorrow

And I love you tomorrow

Just suit you just fine



I can't forget that you told me

So many promising lies

How must I forget these

Lonesome tears in my eyes?



You've broken my heart

Gonna do it again

And I can't forget

The spell that I'm in

Can't forget that you told me

So many promising lies

I'm a-trying to forget these

Lonesome tears in my eyes



You've broken my heart

Gonna do it again

I can't forget

The spell that I'm in

I can't forget that you told me

So many promising lies

I'm a-trying to forget these

Lonesome tears in my eyes



Oh baby baby baby

Blues and sorrow

And I love you tomorrow

It'll suit you just fine

Oh baby baby baby

Blues and sorrow

I love you tomorrow

Just suit you just fine



I can't forget that you told me

So many promising lies

I'm a-trying to forget these

Lonesome tears in my eyes


JOAN BAEZ lyrics - Sweeter For Me



(J. Baez)



Red telephone sitting by my bed

Practically bore your name

Lying alone in the twilight zone

Waiting for your call to come in

Hadn't been for the kid

Who was sleeping upstairs

You'd have found me well on my way

On that midnight plane to L. A.



You suffered sweeter for me

Than anyone I've ever known



I dared to look into the years

Would you still have your wife?

I dared to peer through my tears

Could we ever have a life?

Even thought I was pregnant by you

But I didn't care

I just talked to my son

Would he mind another one?



You suffered sweeter for me

Than anyone I've ever known



Once more the mist rolls to the sea

Like a hundred times we've known

Trees are faded and the clouds have stopped

Where the wind had blown

How I dread when the evening comes

And I cannot be

What you want me to be

When you are next to me



How silent you are as the veils come down

Before my eyes

Soft and reserved as you move away

Donning your disguise

While every folk song that I ever knew

Once more comes true

And loves grows old

And waxes cold



You suffered sweeter for me

Than anyone I've ever known



Just one favor of you, my love

If I should die today

Take me down to where the hills

Meet the sea on a stormy day

Ride a ridge on a snow white horse

And throw my ashes away

To the wind and the sand

Where my song began



You suffered sweeter for me

Than anyone I've ever known


DAN FOGELBERG lyrics - Dancing Shoes



Dancing shoes on the wall above your bedside

Saw it all as we performed our pirouette

Fleshes fused as the flicker of the candles

Threw upon the wall a single silhouette

Tu es dans ma coeur et dans ma tete

Dancing shoes we have loved on distant beaches

Where the winter never reaches there we fell

Dying swan on the dawn you danced before me

Though your eyes were dark and stormy I stood still

Qui peut dire le faux et le reel

Dancing shoes though the distances divide us

There's a paradise inside us we can't lose

Me and you dance a 'pas de deux' forever

And I pray you never shed your dancing shoes

MISFITS lyrics - Crimson Ghost



Whoa

I know your every move behind this face

I have control over expendable slaves

When confrontation comes down to the wire

I'll use my Cyclotrode and commence the fire



You're never gonna get me

You're never gonna get me

You're never gonna get me

You're never gonna get me



Being followed, I get quick to the chase

I take my Cyclotrode right out of the case

Atomic force electrocutes your motor

Leaving dead in flames I always escape



You're never gonna get me

You're never gonna get me

You're never gonna get me

I'm the Crimson Ghost



You're never gonna get me

You're never gonna get me

You're never gonna get me

I'm the Crimson Ghost



Never gonna get me

Never gonna get me

Never gonna get me

I'm the Crimson Ghost

Never gonna get me

I'm the Crimson Ghost



Never gonna get me

Never gonna get me

Never gonna get me

I'm the Crimson Ghost

Never gonna get me

I'm the Crimson Ghost



Never gonna get me

Never gonna get me

Never gonna get me

I'm the Crimson Ghost

Never gonna get me

I'm the Crimson Ghost


YELLO lyrics - Moon On Ice



The moon is on ice

It smiles from above

It lights up the night

And sends you it's love

And sends you it's love

In a small cafe

You said you were mine



The moon is on ice

Sitting alone

And love is the price

It won't let you go

Ohhh

In a small cafe

You said you were mine

You said you were mine



Dancing

Dancing girl

Dance with me

We'll dance into eternity



The moon is on ice

It smiles from above

It lights up the night

And it sends you it's love

So why don't we meet

In that small cafe

Where you said you were mine

You said...

You said you were mine


10,000 MANIACS lyrics - Can't Ignore The Train (Demo)



(music: John Lombardo / lyrics: Natalie Merchant)



Steep is the water tower

Painted off blue to match the sky



Can't ignore the train



Night walks in the valley silent

You could swear the earth just moved



Can't ignore the train



Dust to be kicked up

In the crack faced

Idle sinister town

Screen door to the rail station

Devil in her shoe



Ran along side the wasted tracks

Hem pins darted her calves



Can't ignore the train



One spoiled girl with the tidiest apology

Some how wedged inside her throat



Can't ignore the train



Patience their virtue

But I never could abide by that

Dungeon life with electric light

A clean towel and a basin

Mantle figures mind their place

Laughs where they belong



Through adventure we are not adventuresome



Rage to share with a wardrobe mirror

In a room so beige and cold



Can't ignore the train



Window days saw the children pick their

Street games on thirty afternoons



Molly the boys are

Starting in the rhymic again

Teasing more and more....



The second daughter

How she fell

Young locked in Some Folk's Prison

Made to dwell

Til they're braiding

Her grey hair



Sitting in the wishing chair

Sitting in the wishing chair

Sitting in the wishing chair


WOODY GUTHRIE lyrics - Dead Or Alive



Well, the new sher'ff wrote me a letter,

Yes, the new sher'ff wrote me a letter:

Come up and see me dead or alive,

Come up and see me dead or alive.

Dead or alive it's a hard road; it's a hard road dead or alive.



Well, he even sent me my picture:

Yes, he even sent me my picture;

How do I look, boys, dead or alive?

How do I look, boys, dead or alive?

Dead or alive it's a hard road; it's a hard road dead or alive.



Well, he said he would pay expenses:

Yes, he said he would pay expenses;

Dead or alive, no thank!

New sheriff, I'm a poor boy

Dead or alive it's a hard road; it's a hard road dead or alive.



Well, he said he would feed and clothe me;

Yes, mhe said he would feed and clothe me;

Dead or alive, no thanks!

New sheriff, I'm a poor boy

Dead or alive it's a hard road; it's a hard road dead or alive.



Well, I'm sorry I can't come, sheriff;

Yes, I'm sorry but I can't come, sheriff;

Dead or alive, no thanks!

New sheriff, I'm a poor boy

Dead or alive it's a hard road; it's a hard road dead or alive.



I don't like your hard-rock hotel;

I don't like your hard-rock hotel;

Dead or alive, new sheriff

No thanks, I'm a poor boy

Dead or alive it's a hard road; it's a hard road dead or alive.



I gotta go down and see my little sweet thing;

Gonna go down and see my little sweet thing;

Dead or alive, yes, Lord!

No thanks, new sheriff.

Dead or alive it's a hard road; it's a hard road dead or alive.

NEW ORDER lyrics - Love Vigilantes



Oh I've just come

From the land of the sun

From a war that must be won

In the name of truth

With our soldiers so brave

your freedom we will save

With our rifles and grenades

And some help from God

I want to see my family

My wife and child waiting for me

I've got to go home

I've been so alone, you see



You just can't believe

The joy I did recieve

When I finally got my leave

And I was going home

Oh I flew through the sky

my convictions could not lie

For my country I would die

And I will see it soon

I want to see my family

My wife and child waiting for me

I've got to go home

I've been so alone, you see



When I walked through the door

My wife she lay upon the floor

And with tears her eyes were sore

I did not know why

Then I looked into her hand

And I saw the telegram

That said that I was a brave, brave man

But that I was dead

I want to see my family

My wife and child waiting for me

I've got to go home

I've been so alone, you see


ERIC CLAPTON lyrics - When You Got A Good Friend



(Robert Johnson)



When you got a good friend

That will stay right by your side,

When you got a good friend

That will stay right by your side,

Give her all your spare time,

Love and treat her right.



I mistreated my baby

And I can't see no reason why.

I mistreated my baby

And I can't see no reason why.

Any time I think about it

I just wring my hands and cry.



Wonder could I ever apologize

Or would she sympathize with me?

Would she sympathize with me?

She's a brown-skin woman,

Just as sweet as a girlfriend can be.



Babe, I may be right or wrong.

Babe, it's your opinion,

Well, I may be right or wrong.

Watch your close friend, baby,

Then your enemies can't do you no harm.



When you got a good friend

That will stay right by your side,

When you got a good friend

That will stay right by your side,

Give her all your spare time,

Love and treat her right.


OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN lyrics - Can't We Talk It Over In Bed



(Sandy Linzer/Irwin Levine)



Harsh words are spoken

Promises are broken

Old wounds are opened

And love walks out that door



Too proud to make up

You're ready to break up

Too late you'll wake up

And love walks out that door



Baby, oh sweet baby

I didn't mean a word I said

You know that I love you

Can't we talk it over in bed



I never meant to hurt you

I must have been out of my head

Tell me you still want me

Can't we talk it over in bed



Talk, talk, talk it over

Talk, let's talk it out baby



Harsh words are spoken

Promises are broken

Old wounds are opened

And love walks out that door



Too proud to make up

You're ready to break up

Too late you'll wake up

And love walks out that door

Out that door



Baby, oh sweet baby

Won't let you walk out that door



Come on a little closer

Can't we just forgive and forget

Everything seems to work out

When we talk it over in bed



Too much time apart

We need a little heart to heart



Can't sleep without you baby

Oooh, cuddle up, cuddle up, cuddle up, cuddle up, baby

Don't end the night this way

Oooh, cuddle up, cuddle up, cuddle up, cuddle up, cuddle up, baby

Oh sweet baby

I didn't mean a word I said

You know that I love you


THE BYRDS lyrics - My Back Pages



(Dylan)



Crimson flames tied through my ears

Throwin' high and mighty traps

Countless fire and flaming road

Using ideas as my maps

"We'll meet on edges, soon," said I

Proud 'neath heated brow.

Ah, but I was so much older then,

I'm younger than that now.



Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth

"Rip down all hate," I screamed

Lies that life is black and white

Spoke from my skull. I dreamed

Romantic flanks of musketeers

Foundation deep, somehow.

Ah, but I was so much older then,

I'm younger than that now.



In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand

At the mongrel dogs who teach

Fearing not I'd become my enemy

In the instant that I preach

My pathway led by confusion boats

Mutiny from stern to bow.

Ah, but I was so much older then,

I'm younger than that now.



Ah, but I was so much older then,

I'm younger than that now



My guard stood hard when abstract threats

Too noble to neglect

Deceived me into thinking

I had something to protect

Good and bad, I define these terms

Quite clear, no doubt, somehow.

Ah, but I was so much older then,

I'm younger than that now.

RENAISSANCE lyrics - Only Angels Have Wings



A different smile upon her face

He's proud to be a part of it all

A welcome from the human race

A world so big and one that's so small

You see they've come so very far

But can't believe that's

The way it was planned

Just can't understand

That only angels have wings

With all the love they could give

Is this a fit place to live

Where only angels have wings



Through school days growing very fast

Today a boy, tomorrow a man

His roots set deeply in the past

It's hard but keep your head if you can

You see he's come so very far

But can't believe that's

The way it was planned

Just can't understand

That only angels have wings

Ambition so low with nowhere to go

As only angels have wings



Then suddenly an element of chance

Night falls on his town

The colours blend and dance

He's breaking in, no time to go back

There must be some way out

Making life easy - hear him shout it out



His father can't believe his ears

His mother stands with tears in her eyes

No child of theirs could be so wrong

Deep down inside a part of them dies

You see they tried so very hard

But just can't see that's

The way it was planned

Just can't understand

That only angels have wings

A part of our age, an action in rage

And only angels have wings



So far away, a time for second thought

Things seem much clearer now

The price for being caught

He longs for home and wants to go back

To how it was before

An ordinary person, happy to be born

THREE DOG NIGHT lyrics - One Man Band



(T. Kaye/J. Tyme/B. Fox)



Ain't no two ways about it

I just can't live without ya

Let's get together, I can't wait forever

Here I am, take my hand

I'm your man



Ain't no two ways about it

Baby, let me be your one man band, your one man band

Baby, let me be your one man band, your one man band

I just wanna be your one man ban', oooo


CHICAGO lyrics - Someday (August 29, 1968)



Would you look around you now

And tell me what you see

Faces full of hate and fear

Faces full of me

Do you feel the rumblings

As your head comes crumbling down

Do you know what I mean

Run, you better, run you know

The End is getting near

Feel the wind of something hard

Come whistling past your ear

As they try to get you

Where it will upset you

Down

Now you know what I mean

Someday you will see how long

We've waited for the time

To show you how we've died

To get together with you all

Twist and turn your head around

'Till everything's unclear

Twist and turn your arm around

Until it is not there

And they'd love to burn you

Or at least to turn you around

Now you know what I mean

Can you look around you now

And tell us what's to be

Can you look inside yourself

And tell us what you see

As you feel the rumblings

As your head comes crumbling down

And you know what I mean

Someday you will see how long

We've been waiting for the time

To show you how we've died

To get together with you all


THE ALAN PARSONS PROJECT lyrics - More Lost Without You



(Alan Parsons and P. J. Olsson)



There's Not A Day

I Don't Think Of Your Name

The State That I'm In

You're Completely To Blame

No Words Left To Say

Turn My Dreams All To Grey

And I'm More And More Lost Without You



You're A Storm In My Head

That Really Blew A New Day

A Liquid Design

Is What You Do To My Mind

No Words Left To Say

Cause My Mind's Gone Away

And I'm More And More Lost Without You



More And More Lost Without You

I Was Found But Then I Totally Lost You

Don't Know A Soul That Could Ever Doubt You

That's Why I'm More And More Lost Without You



More And More


AEROSMITH lyrics - Movin' Out



we all live on the edge of town

where we all live ain't a soul around

people start a-comin', all we do is just a-grin

said we gotta move out cause the city's movin' in

I said we gotta move out cause the city's movin' in

tell me who ya know, and I'll tell ya who too

go see my friend and he'll set you free

tell me what you need and maybe I can go too

no one knows the way but maybe me

nobody goes there, nobody shows where

nobody knows where you can find me

good morning glory, halleluh to ya

what is the story and what's been goin' through ya?

livin' like a king off the fat of the land

workin' like a dog in a rock n' roll band

we're movin' -- we're gettin' out

we're movin' -- without a doubt

we're movin' -- we're goin' far

we're movin' -- oh yes we are



[chorus]



level with God and you're in tune with the universe

talk with yourself and you'll hear what you wanna know

gotta rise above cause below it's only gettin' worse

life in time will take you where you wanna go, where you wanna go,

x's a bunch

baby catch ya round, I don't know where I'm goin'

SIMPLY RED lyrics - Never Never Love



So now we've got our independence

What are we gonna do with it?

Learning to play different games

Already using different names

Cause now our love bears no resemblance

To what we had before

When our love was good it was all that we saw

When our love was good it blinded us before

This real revolution baby

Where you're not below me anymore



Never never love can never be enough

Never be enough, just ain't good enough

Never never love can never be enough

Never be enough, oh no



So now we've got our independence

What are we gonna do with it?

Building the houses, claiming back the land

Burning the bridges, cleaning up your hands

Cause now our love bears no resemblance

To what we had before



Now our love has something for the future

Now our love will grow the seeds to sow this real revolution

This good revolution baby

Where you're not below me anymore


MISFITS lyrics - Witch Hunt



Wipe out the weak and dying

I've got no use for you

Sent from Hell, I know they're lying

It's just another sacrifice



We are on a witch hunt

Hunt her down will she sink or float?

We want independence from her spell



Exterminate the undetermined

I've got no use for you

Sent from Hell, I know they're lying

Hang her by her neck to die



We are on a witch hunt

Hunt her down will she sink or float?

We want independence from her spell



We're on a head hunt

We're on a blood hunt

We're on a witch hunt

And we're gonna get you

We're comin' after you, too



We're on a witch hunt

We're on a witch hunt



We are on a witch hunt

Hunt her down will she sink or float?

We want independence from her spell

We're under her spell



We're on a head hunt

We're on a blood hunt

We're on a witch hunt

And we're gonna get you

We're comin' after you

CULTURE CLUB lyrics - Don't Go Down That Street



Don't go down that street

In those shoes that squeak

'Cos I get afraid

That you might not come home

Careful how you speak

When you're on the street

'Cos they've gone and broken

every telephone

Don't go down that street, no no no

Don't go down that street, no no no

Don't go down that street

Don't go down that street

Where the brave boys meet

'Cos I'm chicken feed

when they're on their own

Don't get in that car

Things might go too far

(Japanese= don't get in that car)

Don't go down that street, no no no

Don't go down that street, no no no

Don't go down that street

(translated by a penpal of mine: Mayumi Hada)

(Japanese talkover by Miko:

Don't walk alone

Your parents are afraid

You must observe the curfew

At last you'll be the wolves food

Stop going to discos

You are too young to walk alone

There's too many wolves in the street

Be careful


NEIL DIAMOND lyrics - If I Lost My Way



If I lost my way,

Would you stand with me,

Would you love me still

And care for what I need

If I lost my way?



If I lost my faith

To face up to the test,

Would I let you down?

Would you love me less

If I lost my way?



Tell me I'm afraid without good reason

Say that I'm a fool to feel this way

Could it be the me that you believed in

Is all you really need to make you stay?

If I lost my way

If I lost my way



If I lost my dreams,

Could I keep your trust?

Promise that our love

Would not turn to dust

If I lost my way



Tell me I'm afraid without good reason

Say that I'm a fool to feel this way

Could it be the me that you believed in

Is all you really need to make you stay?



If I lost my way,

Would you stand with me

Would you love me still

And care for what I need

If I lost my way

If I lost my way

If I lost my way

If I lost my way


NEW YORK DOLLS lyrics - Personality Crisis



Well we can't take it this week

And her friends don't want another speach

Hoping for a better day to hear what she's got to say





All about that Personality Crisis you got it while it was hot

But now frustration and heartache is what you got

(That's why they talk about Personality)





But now your tryin to be some no you got to do some

Wanna be someone who cow wow wows

But you think about the times you did they took every ounce

when it sure got to be a shame when you start to scream and shout

you got to contradict all those times you were butterflyin about

(You were butterflyin)





All about that Personality Crisis you got it while it was hot

But now frustration and heartache is what you got

---break---



And your a prima ballerina on a spring afternoon

change on into the wolfman howlin at the moon hooowww





All about that Personality Crisis you got it while it was hot

But now frustration and heartache is what you got





Now with all the crossin fingers that mother nature says

Your mirrors get jammed up with all your friends

That personality everything starts to bend

Personality when your mind starts to bend

Personality impression of a friend,

Of a friend, of a friend, of a friend, of a friend

Personality wonderin how celebrities ever met

(Look and find out on television)





Personality Crisis you got it while it was hot

frustration and heartache is all you got don't you worry



Personality Crisis please don't cry

it's just a Personality Crisis please don't stop





Because you walk a Personality

Talk a Personality


STEVEN CURTIS CHAPMAN lyrics - Treasure Island



(Steven Curtis Chapman)



[Psalm 119:97-112]



The moon's waving the world goodbye;

The morning sun smiles and lights the sky.

I hear the waves crashing into shore;

The world's an ocean waiting at my door.

Before I set out for the open sea,

I'll take the word my Father's given me.



[Chorus 1:]

And I'll go sailing out to Treasure Island,

The Treasure Island that God's word can be;

I'll pray and make my way to Treasure Island,

And in those quiet times I know that I will find

All the treasure I will ever need.



I raise the sail as I kneel to pray,

Check my course all along the way;

A million thoughts like the rushing wind

Are blowing this ship so I'll pray again.

Soon I have landed on the solid ground;

I take my life's concerns and lay them all down.



[Chorus 1]



And when I return to the mainland,

I'll take the treasure back with me.



[Chorus 2:]

I'll go sailing out to Treasure Island,

The Treasure Island that God's word can be;

Ill go sailing out to Treasure Island,

Guided by the Spirit's gentle wind.

I'll pray and make my way to Treasure Island,

And when the new day starts, I'll take my longing heart

And sail to Treasure Island once again.


BETTE MIDLER lyrics - Only In Miami



Walking along the beach last night

who do you think I spy?

A girl with ebony fire eyes.

Soft and low do she cry.

Now what could be such a source of pain?

I so boldly inquire.

Pointing finger Havana way,

these three words which transpire:



She told me that only in Miami

is Cuba so far away.

Only in Miami.

My story, she goes this way.

Fish may fly through the purple keys,

golden birds take to air.

I am bound to the earth, it seems.

My life can be so unfair.

Only in Miami

is Cuba so far away.

Only in Miami

is Cuba so far away.



Standing on the shoreline waiting,

everyone anticipating.

I can hear the broken hearted say:

Only in Miami

is Cuba so far away.



And she cries for her child without a mother.

And she cries for her son without a father.

And she cries for herself without a lover.

Can't face another day.

Chase the blues away.

I thought I heard her mumble as she

turned away:



Only in Miami

is Cuba so far away.

Only in Miami

is Cuba so far away.



Standing on the shoreline waiting,

everyone anticipating.

I can hear the broken hearted say:

Only in Miami

is Cuba so far away.

Only in Miami

is Cuba so far away.

Only in Miami

is Cuba so,

Only in Miami

is Cuba so,

Only in Miami

Ba Cuba so,

Only in Miami

is Cuba so far away.

Only in Miami

is Cuba so far away.

Only in Miami

is Cuba so far away.

Only in Miami

is Cuba so far away. . .


VAN HALEN lyrics - House Of Pain



Say you're gonna leave me

'Cause I only tie you up

I always loved you tender

But you only like it rough

Woman bound for glory

Why you leavin' me again?

Gonna pack her bags and leave

This house of pain



Heartache's all around me

How many times we've tried

Said she tried to leave me

But her hands were always tied

If I had it all to do

I'd keep it just the same



Gonna fix it so you never leave

This house of pain



(Guitar Solo)



Uh-uh. Uh-uh Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh

Uh-uh. Uh-uh Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh

Uh-uh. Uh-uh. Uh-uh-uh-Wow!


ENYA lyrics - Cursum Perficio



Cursum perficio.

Verbum sapienti:

Quo plus habent,

Eo plus cupiunt.

Post nubila, Phoebus

Iternum



[Translation]



I finish the course.

A word to the wise:

The more people have,

The more they want.

After the clouds, Phoebus


GRATEFUL DEAD lyrics - Mama Tried



The first I remember knowin' was that lonesome whistle blowin'

And a youngin's dream of growin' up to ride.

On a freight train leavin' town, not knowin' where I was bound

No one could steer me right, but mama tried.



Was the only rebel child from a family meek and mild

Mama seemed to know what lay in store

In spite of all my Sunday learnin'

For the bad I kept on turnin' and mama couldn't hold me anymore.



And I turned 21 in prison, doin' life without parole

No one could steer me right, but mama tried, mama tried

Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleadin' I denied

That leaves no one but me to blame cause mama tried.



Dear old daddy rest his soul, left my mom a heavy load

She tried so very hard to fill his shoes

Workin' hours without rest, wanted me to have the best

Oh she tried to raise me right, but I refused.



And I turned 21 in prison, doin' life without parole

No one could steer me right, but mama tried, mama tried

Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleadin' I denied

That leaves no one but me to blame cause mama tried.

DAN FOGELBERG lyrics - The Outlaw



Among the possessions of an outlaw of a low class kind

Is this little bottle of French perfume

Taken as a last thought from a drug store in suburbia

He said, "Lady, look what I've got for you"

She said, "Jesse, I don't hardly even know you anymore

And judging from your grin, you'd think you held up Henry Ford

And I don't believe I want you a comin' 'round here anymore" (ooh)

Jesse, he was hurt, boy, and he left there, and he slammed the door

And he wandered through the alleyways

Thinkin' all the while that she'd be proud of what he stole for her,

And he tried to think of better ways

Dreamin' of a movie that he'd seen one afternoon,

He drew out all his savings and he went and bought a gun

And he ran right home and stood before his mirror

Acting like a thug (ooh)

He waited for a dark night; he was frightened, boy, the fog rolled in,

As a rich man, he came walkin' by,

"Hold your hands up high," he cried, "I've come to make your fortune mine"

But his eyes, they gave him right away,

Jesse dropped the gun and they both stared at to where it lay

And Jesse asked the man if he'd please leave him in his pain

And the man tried to forgive him, but there's not much he could say (ooh)

Among the possessions of an outlaw of a low class kind

Is this little bottle of French perfume

Taken as a last thought from a drugstore in suburbia

He said, "Lady, look what I've got for you"

"Ah, take it, ah, please take it; I'm tired and I'm poor

And this crappy French perfume is nothin' less than my own soul

I was feelin' half a man; I wanted to feel whole" (ooh)

(Oooh...ooh, ooh)


SHELBY LYNNE lyrics - Just A Little Lovin'



Just a little lovin'

Early in the mornin

Beats a cup of coffee

For startin off the day



Just a little lovin'

When the world is dawnin

Makes you wake up feelin good things are coming your way



This whole world wouldn't be half as bad

It wouldn't be half as sad

If each and everybody in it had

Just a little lovin'

Early in the morning



Then a little something extra to kinda see them through

Nothing turns a day on

Really gets it dawning

Like a little bit of lovin'

From some lovin' someone like you



Just a little lovin'

Early in the morning

Just a little lovin'

Early in the morning



Nothing

No nothing turns, nothing turns a day on.

Just a little lovin'

That's better than anything

Just a little lovin'

Early in the morning

Just a little lovin'


ERIC CLAPTON lyrics - Hung Up On Your Love



(Lamont Dozier)



I was ready to take a chance,

I found myself a new romance.

Then you call that same old night,

Always change my mind.



Oh no, not again.

Oh no, not again.



[Chorus:]

Just when I thought it was over, you come back

And I'm hung up on your love again.

Just when I thought I was free, you come back.

Now I'm hung up on your love again.



Just as I was doing good,

You come back, just to prove you could.

Things will always be the same,

With me the victim of the game.



Oh no, not again.

Oh no, not again.



[Chorus 4x]

THE ROLLING STONES lyrics - Down The Road Apiece



(Raye)



Now if you wanna hear some boogie like I'm gonna play

It's just an old piano and a knockout bass

The drummer's man's a cat they call Charlie McCoy

You know, remember that rubber-legged boy?

Mama cookin' chicken fried and bacon grease

Come on along boys it's just down the road apiece

Well there's a place you really get your kicks

It's open every night about twelve to six

Now if you wanna hear some boogie you can get your fill

And shove and sting(?) like an old steam drill

Come on along you can lose your lead

Down the road, down the road, down the road apiece

Well there's a place you really get your kicks

It's open every night about twelve to six

Now if you wanna hear some boogie you can get your fill

And shove and sting(?) like an old steam drill

Come on along you can lose your lead

Down the road, down the road, down the road apiece


VAN HALEN lyrics - A. F.U. (Naturally Wired)



Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah!

90 days on the road is what I need

When my axe cuts me deep, I let it bleed

On the stage, off my strings, down my face

And all over me. Yeah!



Pumpin' up for the show

Feelin' like somethin's gonna blow



S'got me all fired up

Yes I'm all fired up



Through the ice into the fire

Blowin' steam

North n' South, East n' West, right n' left

I'm always extreme



Don't like the middle squeezin' me

I don't like nothin' in between



Yes, I'm all fired up

Got me all fired up



When the rest have packed it up

I'm alive, I'm electric, inspired



I, I'm naturally wired

Wired! naturally wired, oh

Wired!



(Guitar Solo)



(Oo-I, I, I, I)

Whoo!

Oh yeah!

Ooh!



I, I, I, I'm naturally wired!

Naturally wired

Wired!

Naturally wired

Wired!

Naturally wired

Wired!

Naturally wired

PANTERA lyrics - Rise



We've got no time to lose

Your news is old news

Hate this, hate me, hate this

Right approach for the wrong

It's time to spread the word

Let the voice be heard

All of us, one of us, all of us

Dominate and take the motherf#*$ing world



Mass prediction, unification

Breathing life into out lungs

EVERY creed and EVERY kind

To give us depth for strength



Taught when we're young to hate one another

It's time to have a new reign of power

Make pride universal so no one gives in

Turn our backs on those who oppose

Then when confronted we ask them the question

That's wrong with their mind?

What's wrong with your mind?



It's time to RISE



We've lived with past mistakes

And we've lived with our own

Forgive, forget forgive

Be a man, not a child

There are to tears for peace

Of the common sympathies

Educate, reinstate, educate

A thing of past

The trouble in the states

It's time to rise


ELVIS COSTELLO lyrics - When I Was Cruel No. 2



I exit through the spotlight glare

I stepped out into thin air

Into a perfume so rarefied

"Here comes the bride"



Not quite aside, they snide "She's number four"

"There's number three just by the door"

Those in the know, don't even flatter her,

They go one better

"She was selling speedboats in a tradeshow when he met her"



Look at her now

She's starting to yawn

She looks like she was born to it

But it was so much easier

When I was cruel



She reaches out her arms to me

Imploring: "Another melody?"

So she can dance her husband out on the floor

The captains of industry just lie there where they fall



In eau-de-nil and pale carnation creation

A satin sash and velvet elevation

She straightens the tipsy head-dress of her spouse

While her recalls a honey house



There'll be no sorrows left to drown

Early in the morning in your evening gown

But it was so much easier

When I was cruel



The entrance hall was arranged with hostesses and ushers

Who turned out to be the younger wives nursing schoolgirl crushes

Parting the waves of those few feint friends

Fingers once offered are now too heavy to extend



The ghostly first wife glides up stage whispering to raucous talkers

Spilling family secrets out to flunkeys and castrato walkers

See that girl

Watch that scene

Digging the "Dancing Queen"



Two newspaper editors like playground sneaks

Running the book on which of them is going to last the week

One of them calls to me

And he says, "I know you"

"You gave me this tattoo back in '82"

"You were a spoilt child then with a record to plug"

"And I was a shaven headed seaside thug"

"Things haven't really changed that much"

"One of us is still getting paid too much"



There are some things I can't report

The memory of his last retort

But it was so much easier

When I was cruel



Look at me now

She's starting to yawn

She looks like she was born to it

Ah, but it was so much easier

When I was cruel


EARTH, WIND AND FIRE lyrics - Evolution Orange



(Maurice White, David Foster & Nan O'Byrne)



Seeing

Seeing is believing

It's the greates feeling

Knowing in your heart



Just trust yourself

Look ahead

Feel the motion growing

Love is where it's going

This is where our real journey starts



Down through the years

Throughout the stars

Ancient the dream

Future evolves



Shining light

Now in sight

Evolution Orange

Wondrous flight

Now in sight

Evolution Orange



Patience

The healer and the giver



Patience will deliver

Fire from the spark



Just trust yourself

Reach inside

Have no hesitation

Give no explanation

You know who you are



Down through the years

Throughout the stars

Ancient the dream

Future evolves



Shining light

Now in sight

Evolution Orange



Wondrous flight

Now in sight

Evolution Orange


JETHRO TULL lyrics - Pied Piper



Now if you think Ray blew it,

there was nothing to it.

They patched him up as good as new.

You can see him every day ---

riding down the queen's highway,

handing out his small cigars to the kids from school.

And all the little girls with their bleached blond curls

clump up on their platform soles.

And they say ``Hey Ray --- let's ride away

downtown where we can roll some alley bowls.''

And Ray grins from ear to here, and whispers...



So follow me. Trail along.

my leather jacket's buttoned up.

And my four-stroke song

will pick you up when your last class ends;

and you can tell all your friends:

The Pied Piper pulled you,

The mad biker fooled you,

I'll do what you want to:

If you ride with me on a Friday

anything goes.



So follow me, hold on tight.

My school girl fancy's flowing in free flight.

I've a tenner in my skin tight jeans.

You can touch it if your hands are clean.



The Pied Piper pulled you,

the mad biker folled you,

I'll do what you want to:

If you ride with me on a Friday

anything goes.

KENNY LOGGINS lyrics - Beauty And The Beast



Tale as old as time

True as it can be

Barely even friends

Then somebody bends

Unexpectedly



Just a little change

Small to say the least

Both a little scared

Neither one prepared

Beauty and the Beast



Ever just the same

Ever a suprise

Ever just as sure

Ever as before

As the sun will rise



Certain as the sun

Rising in the east

Tale as old as time

Song as old as ryhme

Beauty and the Beast

WET WET WET lyrics - After The Love Goes



It's been a year since I last saw mary

When she said goodbye

She casts a spell on my intention

That's the reason why

I'm taking my thought from a bottle lately

And breaking them up in my mind

All my problems they don't look pretty

Oh but it's no surprise



Well it's so hard

To take what you're given

Well it's so hard

To give what you've got



After the love goes

Here I go

There's no easy way



Bright lights of memphis

Sounds like a real good time

But I lost my heart and my money

Honed like cherry wine

But I don't remember the church bells ring

Thru the day or the night

But I kept my soul on my own

Not without a fight



Well it's so hard

To take what you're given

Well it's so hard

To give what you've got



After the love goes

Here I go

There's no easy way



It's been a while since I last saw mary

Wipe a tearful eye

Well I remember I first saw mary

Saying her last goodbye

Breaking it up from a bottle lately

And making it up in my mind

But all my problems, they don't look pretty

Ooh that's the bottom line



It's so hard

To take what you're given

Well it's so hard

To give what you've got



After the love goes

Here I go

There's no easy road


HOWLIN' WOLF lyrics - Who's Been Talkin'



(Chester Burnett a. k.a. Howlin' Wolf)



My baby caught the train, left me all alone

My baby caught the train, left me all alone

She knows I love her, she doin' me wrong



My baby bought the ticket, long as her right arm

My baby bought the ticket, long as my right arm

She says she's gonna ride, long as I been from home



Well who been talking, everything that I do

Well who been talking, everything that I do

Well you is my baby, I hate to lose



Well good bye baby, hate to see you go

Well good bye baby, hate to see you go

You know I love you, I'm the causin of it all

I'm the causin' of it all

I'm the causin' of it all

I'm the causin' of it all

I'm the causin' of it all


STEVE EARLE lyrics - San Antonio Girl



(Steve Earle)



Since I first saw you I've been thinkin' about you

And now I'm out here on the highway goin' crazy without you

I can't help but want you girl, you're young and you're pretty

But somehow I can't see you up in New York City

I'm gonna leave you alone in your own little world

But won't you be my San Antonio girl

Be my San Antonio girl

Be my, be my, be my, San Antonio girl



Now I know you've heard the stories bout life in the fast lane

What they didn't tell you is you come home on a slow train

I'd just as soon remember you the way that I found you

Dancin' by yourself with the stars all around you

TEARS FOR FEARS lyrics - Don't Drink The Water



This is a religion

No, this is a drag

That man over there is smoking sweet cigarettes

Hey look at that fag



I had a dream

I saw you swim

Sink to your grave

Down to Davy Jone's locker

Under the waves

Don't say "Thank god for simple truths"



Take me to your leader

Take me for a ride

The shutters were never open

The days I used to hide

All of the things

I never knew

I should have said

When you looked like Frida Kahlo

Curled up in bed

Don't say "Thank god for simple truths"



Don't drink the water, baby

Don't drink the water, baby



So much emotion, these eyes a strange kind of blue

Deep as the ocean, they named a sea after you

Don't say "Thank god for simple truths"



Don't drink the water, baby

Don't drink the water, baby

Don't drink the water, baby (don't drink the water, baby)

Don't drink the water, baby (don't drink the water, baby)


BAD COMPANY lyrics - Walk Through Fire



I used to see those red tail lights, heading for another town

And wish that I was on my way

Looking back on these summer nights, wasting time, fooling 'round

And there was nothing here to make me stay



But that night I met you, the night you came through made me realise

There's no way I can leave, you made me believe

And now when I look in your eyes



Chorus:

I could walk through fire, I can feel it burning

And I could walk through fire, (to get) right back to you

And as the flames get higher, you know I'll get stronger

Baby I could walk through fire



It's crazy how these things work out, I used to think I had no chance

And I somehow thought you'd slip away

You pulled me through the fear and doubt, gave me all I'm looking for

Everything I needed to stay



How could something so good, something so simple, get serious

How could someone so right come into my life, and now I just want you to know



chorus



And I would go anywhere, I would do anything, I do what you want me to

You know that I would, I want you to know this, whenever you need me

Ooh wherever you are, no matter how far, you know I'll be coming for you



chorus



Baby I could walk through fire, right back to you

And I could walk through fire, and I could walk through fire

And I could walk through fire, right back to you, yeah
