HARRY NILSSON lyrics - Without You

(Ham/Evans)



No, I can't forget this evening

Or your face as you were leaving

But I guess that's just the way the story goes

You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows

Yes, it shows



No, I can't forget tomorrow

When I think of all my sorrows

When I had you there but then I let you go

And now it's only fair that I should let you know

What you should know



I can't live if living is without you

I can't live, I can't give any more

Can't live if living is without you

I can't give, I can't give any more



No, I can't forget this evening

Or your face as you were leaving

But I guess that's just the way the story goes

You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows

Yes, it shows



Can't live if living is without you

I can't live, I can't give anymore

I can't live if living is without you

Can't live, I can't give anymore

(Living is without you)

DIANA ROSS lyrics - Come In From The Rain

(Carole Bayer Sager/Melissa Manchester)



Well, hello there

Good old friend of mine

You've been reaching for yourself

For such a long time

There's so much to say

No need to explain

Just an open door for you

To come in from the rain



It's a long road

When you're all alone

And a man like you

WILL ALWAYS CHOOSE THE long way home



There's no right or wrong

I'm not here to blame

I just want to be the one

Who keeps you from the rain

From the rain



And it looks like SUNNY SKIES

Now that I know you're alright

Time has left us older AND

Wiser, I know I am



'Cause I think of us

Like an old cliche

But it doesn't matter

'Cause I love you anyway

COME IN from the rain



And it looks like SUNNY SKIES

Now that I know you're alright

Time has left us older

AND Wiser, I know I am



And it's good to know

My best friend has come home again



'Cause I think of us

Like an old cliche

But it doesn't matter

'Cause I love you anyway

COME IN from the rain



Come in from the rain

Come in from the rain

STEVIE WONDER lyrics - Sweet Little Girl

Sweet little girl, you know your baby loves you

Your love is driving me crazy, crazy, crazy

Sweet little girl.



Sweet little girl, you know your baby Steve is true

Your love is driving me crazy, crazy, crazy

Girl, I'm in love.



Hey, my sweet, sweet momma,

You know you drive your baby mad,

Oh my sweet, sweet momma

You're driving me mad.



[Spoken:] Come on baby, you know your baby loves you,

I've given you cookies and candy, and the woofer, and you

still don't wanna be good. Come on now honey-sugar, you know

your baby loves you, more than I love my clavinet.

So baby, do me good, do me good baby.



Sweet little girl, you know your baby loves you

Your love is driving me crazy, crazy, crazy

Sweet little girl.



Come on baby, you know your baby loves you

Your love is driving me crazy, crazy, crazy

Sweet little thing.



Well, you got good lovin'

You know you make your baby mad,

Whoa, you got good lovin'

The best that I've ever had.



[Spoken:] Come on now baby, you hear the phone ring,

and sometimes you don't even answer and you know

I love you and you just treat me all kind of ways.

Come on now, honey-sugar, you know your baby waitin' on your love doll,

you know you got my load. Can't you hear me talking to you, honey?

I try to treat you good and give you everything you want and sometimes

I see you making love with your love doll,

but I still love you more than I love my clavinet.

Come on now honey-sugar you know your baby love.

You know just the other day I was gonna take you to go see a movie,

Sweet, Sweetback, cause I thought it might give you some inspiration

cause we ain't made love in so long, come on now sweet little sugar,

honey baby, now what if you knew I was going to put my harmonica down

just to make love to you.

Come on now honey, you know the woofer's waiting on you.

Come on now baby, you know your baby loves you,

even more than he loves his clavinet.

Don't make me get mad and act like a nigger.

TOM PETTY & THE HEARTBREAKERS lyrics - Baby's A Rock 'N' Roller

(Tom Petty and Mike Campbel)



My baby is a rock 'n' roller

My baby is a rock 'n' roller

Yeah, and that's all

She ever wants to be



So why you tryin' to come on with this sophistication

She don't wanna know about your education

Man she don't care about the United Nations

My baby gone on a rhythm sensation

That's all she ever wants to be



My baby is a rock 'n' roller

My baby is a rock 'n' roller



Well she can't take them stupid friends of yours

She ain't gonna go through all of that no more

She don't wanna be no dental assistant

Man she got the rhythm and she can't resist it

And that's all she ever wants to be



My baby is a rock 'n' roller

My baby is a rock 'n' roller

THE KINKS lyrics - Banana Boat Song

Day-oh, Day-oh

Daylight come and I wanna go home

Day-oh, Day-oh

Daylight come and I wanna go home



Workin' on banana boat all day long

Daylight come and I wanna go home

Six boat, seven boat, eight boat job

Daylight come and I wanna go home



Day-oh, Day-oh

Daylight come and I wanna go home

BEE GEES lyrics - Tragedy

Here I lie

in a lost and lonely part of town

Held in time

In a world of tears I slowly drown

Goin'home

I just can't make it all alone

I really should be holding you

Holding you

Loving you loving you



Tragedy

When the feeling's gone and you can't go on

It's tragedy

When the morning cries and you don't know why

It's hard to bear

With no-one to love you you're

goin' nowhere

Tragedy

When you lose control and you got no soul

It's tragedy

When the morning cries and you don't know why

It's hard to bear

With no-one beside you you're

goin' nowhere

When the feeling's gone and you can't go on



Night and day

there's a burning down inside of me

Burning love

With a yearning that won't let me be

Down I go

and I just can't take it all alone

I really should be holding you

Holding you

Loving you loving



Tragedy

When the feeling's gone and you can't go on

It's tragedy

When the morning cries and you don't know why

It's hard to bear

With no-one to love you you're

goin' nowhere

Tragedy

When you lose control and you got no soul

It's tragedy

When the morning cries and you don't know why

It's hard to bear

With no-one beside you you're

goin' nowhere



Tragedy...

SHANE MACGOWAN AND THE POPES lyrics - Aisling

See the moon is once more rising

Above our our land of black and green

Hear the rebels voice is calling

"I shall not die, though you bury me!"

Hear the Aunt in bed a-dying

"Where is my Johnny?"

Faded pictures in the hallway

Which one of these brown ghosts is he?



Fare thee well my black haired diamond

Fare the well my own Aisling

Thoughts of and dreams of you will haunt me

'Till I come back home again



And the wind it blows

To the North and South

And blows to the East and West

I'll be just like that wind my love

For I will have no rest

'Til I return to thee



Bless the wind that shakes the barley

Curse the spade and curse the plough

Waking in the morning early

I wish to Hell I was with you now

One, two, three, four telephone poles

Give me a drink of poitin

Madness from the mountains crawling

When I first met you my own Aisling



Fare thee well my black haired diamond

Fare the well my own Aisling

Thoughts of and dreams of you will haunt me

'Till I come back home again



Fare thee well my black haired diamond

Fare the well my own Aisling

Thoughts of and dreams of you will haunt me

'Till I come back home again

J. J. CALE lyrics - Travelin' Light

(J. J. Cale)



Travelin' light, is the only way to fly

Travelin' light, just you and I

One-way ticket to ecstasy

Way on down, follow me

Travelin' light, we can go beyond

Travelin' light, we can catch the wind

Travelin' light, let your mind pretend

We can go to paradise

Maybe once, maybe twice

Travelin' light, is the only way to fly

THE BANGLES lyrics - Walk Like An Egyptian

All the old paintings on the tombs

They do the sand dance, dont you know

If they move too quick (oh whey oh)

They're falling down like a domino.



All the bazaar men by the Nile

They got their money on a bet

Gold crocodiles (oh whey oh)

They snap their teeth on your cigarette.



Foreign types with the hookah pipes say:

Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh

Walk like an Egyptian.



The blonde waitresses take their trays

They spin around and they cross the floor

They've got the moves (oh whey oh)

They drop your drink, then they bring you more.



All the school kids so sick of books

They like the punk and the metal band

When the buzzer rings (oh whey oh)

They're walking like an Egyptian.



All the kids in the market place say:

Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh

Walk like an Egyptian.



Slide your feet up the street, bend your back

Shift your arm, then you pull it back

Life is hard, you know (oh whey oh)

So strike a pose on a Cadillac.



If you want to find all the cops

They're hanging out in the donut shop

They sing and dance (oh whey oh)

Spin the clubs, cruise down the block.



All the Japanese with their yen

The party boys call the Kremlin

And the Chinese know (oh whey oh)

They walk the line like Egyptian.



All the cops in the donut shop say:

Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh

Walk like an Egyptian

Walk like an Egyptian.

KMFDM lyrics - Waste

What I don't know I don't like

What I don't like I don't want

Waht I don't want I waste



I hypnotize with alibis and fingers made of lead

I sympathize with frozen eyes turned inwards in my head

I realize to my demise it's better left unsaid

That columns crash down endlessly and I will end up dead



I theorize i'm on the rise

But all I do is fall

I vicimize my love of life

I've seen and done it all



Ready steady stop

Hurry up and wait

The tick tick ticking of the clock

Delineates your fate



What I don't see I don't know

What I don't know I don't want

What I don't want I don't need

What I don't need I don't feel

What I don't fee I don't say

What I don't say I don't do

What I don't do I don't like

What I don't like I waste



Ready steady go

Finish up your plate

Before you even realize

It's gonna be too late



I don't know what I see

I don't want what I know

I don't need what I want

I don't feel what I need

I don't say what I feel

I don't do what I say

I don't like what I do

I just like to waste

GILBERT O'SULLIVAN lyrics - Too Bad

It's too bad you couldn't come

It's too bad you decided to stay away

(Too bad baby)

It's too bad you couldn't come

It's too bad I really thought you were okay

(Too bad baby)



You admit you were wrong

That you knew all along

Yet you still had the nerve

To go leading me on

It's too bad baby

But not especially for me



It's no good us going on

It's no good you trying to soft-soap me

(No good baby)

It's no good I'm telling you

It's no good all we ever do is disagree

(No good baby)



What am I supposed to do

How can I forgive you

If you won't even bother

To tell me the truth

It's no good baby

But not especially for good ol' me



I wanna say I've enjoyed

All the nights we've employed

And the pleasure it's given me

But I cannot except with the greatest respect

Anybody to termine me

Do I make myself perfectly clear



It's too bad you couldn't come

It's too bad you decided to stay away

(Too bad baby)

It's too bad you couldn't come

It's too bad I really thought you were okay

(Too bad baby)



Said you'd be there at nine

Well I got there on time

But you didn't show up

Because you changed your mind

It's too bad baby

But not especially for me



Too bad for you and not for me

(Too bad baby)

And not for me

(Too bad baby)

Too bad for you and not for me baby

Too bad baby

Too bad baby

ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA lyrics - Livin' Thing

Sailin' away on the crest of a wave

It's like magic

Rollin' and ridin' and slippin' & slidin'

It's magic



CHORUS

And you, and your sweet desire,

You took me, higher and higher

It's a livin' thing,

It's a terrible thing to lose

It's a given thing

What a terrible thing to lose.



Making believe this is what you've conceived

From your worst day,

Moving in line when you look back in time

To your first day



CHORUS -- repeat



Takin' a dive 'cos you can't halt the slide

Floating downstream,

So let her go don't start spoiling the show

It's a bad dream



CHORUS -- repeat

FLEETWOOD MAC lyrics - Prove Your Love

(Christine McVie)



Ooh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ooooooh...

I want to be, inside your heart

That's place, the place for me

But I could understand, it won't be easy

You've got to prove, prove your love to me

You've got to prove, prove your love to me

Like I say it ain't easy

To let your heart run wild

So if you want to please me baby

Then don't act like a child

But I can understand, it won' t be easy

You've got to prove, prove your love to me

You've got to prove, prove your love to me

It doesn't matter if you're far away

Or right here by my side

That's the way I feel about it

We can't let the whole thing slide...

So if you can't see me

Right where you are

They why don't you send for me baby

By the nearest star

It won't be easy, and you've got to prove

You've got to prove, prove your love to me

You've got to prove, prove your love to me

Ooooohhhh, oooooohh, ooooooh...

BRIAN WILSON lyrics - They Can't Take That Away From Me

Our romance won't end on a sorrowful note

Though by tomoroow you're gone

The song has ended but as the song writer wrote

The melody lingers on

They may take you from me

I'll miss your fond caress

But though they take you from me

I'll still possess



The way you wear your hat

The way you sip your tea

The memory of all that

No no they can't take that away from me



The way your smile just beams

The way you sing off key

The way you haunt my dreams

No no they can't take that away from me



We may never never meet again

On the bumpy read to love

Still I'll always always keep the memory of



The way you hold your knife

The way we danced 'til three

The way you haunt my dreams

No no they can't take that away from me

No they can't take that away from me

IRVING BERLIN lyrics - For The Very First Time

For the very first time, I find for the first time

I'm head over heels in love



For the very first time, I know that the last time

Was ev'rything else but love



For the very first time, there won't be a next time

My romancing days are all through



All my love affairing was simply preparing

To love, for the first time, you

ELVIS PRESLEY lyrics - It's Easy For You

(A. Lloyd-Webber - T. Rice)



You may not mind that it's over

But I've a different point of view

Even though I am shattered

It's easy for you



You don't have to face the music

You don't have to face the crowd

Just go back where you came from

You ain't even proud



I had a wife and I had children

I threw them all away

And now you tell me, you dare to tell me

I should go back to them

What do you think I should say



I found it hard to leave them

Saddest thing I ever had to do

My problems haven't started

And it's easy for you



I had a wife and I had children

I threw them all away

And now you tell me, you dare to tell me

I should go back to them

What do you think, what on earth do you think I should say



If you ever tire of the good life

Call me in a year or two

I've got no choice, I'll forgive you

'Cause it's easy for you



You only have to call me, it's easy for you

You only have to call me, it's easy for you

FOREIGNER lyrics - Real World

Days, times we will remember

When innocence was lost

We let our hearts move on

So many dreams we thought would last forever

Today it doesn't matter

All those dreams are gone, they are gone, oooh

Tell me how it feels again

Oh, show me that it's real and then



I'll walk away, from my own reflection

The stranger that I knew

The stranger that was you

And now I face a cold return to sender

A truce but no surrender

A voice that won't ring true, where are you? oooh



I reach over the edge

And throw a penny in the wishing well

It's so deep that I can tell



That in the real world

There's fewer stars in the sky

And in the real world

You can get hear children cry at night

This is the real world



There is no time, for a life of solitude

Only hunger and survival

In the world we were born into, we're alone, oooh



And it brings me to my knees

Our father lay me down to sleep

Father please

Pray the lord my soul to keep



Keep us in the real world

Keep us in the real world

Don't have to tell you

In the real world

They'll damn you if you try

In the real world

Let it begin with you and I



This is the real world

There's fewer stars in the sky

This is the real world

You can get hear children cry at night

Now in the real world

They'll damn you if you try

And in the real world

Let it begin with you and I

Living in the real world

Yeah, living in the real world

MICHAEL BOLTON lyrics - Dream While You Can

Dream little child, dream while you can

Dream my child, dream while you can

Of everything that I would dream

If I had the time, dream while you can



And fly little child, fly while you can

Fly my child, away while you can

Far out places and new born lands

Fly while you can



And be little child, be while you can

Be my child, free while you can

Anything that you wanna be

Well, it's in your hands

Be while you can



Dream little child, dream while you can

Dream my child, dream while you can

Of everything that I would dream

If I had the time, but dream while you can



Dream while you can

Fly away while you can

Be free while you can

Dream while you can, dream away

Dream away while you can



Fly away, fly away

While you can

Be free, be free

While you still can



Ooh, dream while you can

Fly away, dream while you can

JOHNNY CASH lyrics - Softly And Tenderly

(Rebecca Lynn Howard)



Softly and tenderly, Jesus is calling

Calling for you and for me

See, on the portals he's waiting and watching

Watching for you and for me



Come home, come home

Ye who are weary, come home

Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling

Calling, O sinner, come home



O for the wonderful love he has promised

Promised for you and for me

Though we have sinned, he has mercy and pardon

Pardon for you and for me



Come home, come home

Ye who are weary, come home

Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling

Calling, O sinner, come home



Calling, O sinner, come home

LORETTA LYNN AND CONWAY TWITTY lyrics - We're Caught Between A Love And A Love Affair

(Lola Jean Dillon - L. E. White)



Your arms are not the first to hold me tight

But your arms are the last to hold me right

Darling we found something oh so rare

And we're caught between a love and a love affair

How I wish I could turn back the hands of time

If I could only do it over you'd be mine

And my arms would give the watch to keep you there

Oh we're caught between a love and a love affair

So we'll just slip around and see each other when we can

Cause you care for your woman and you care for your man

So we just can't find within what we have here

Oh we're caught between a love and a love affair

Yes we're caught between a love and a love affair

ALISON KRAUSS AND THE COX FAMILY lyrics - I Know Who Holds Tomorrow

I don't know about tomorrow;

I just live from day to day.

I don't borrow from its sunshine

For its skies may turn to grey.

I don't worry o'er the future,

For I know what Jesus said.

And today I'll walk beside Him,

For He knows what is ahead.



Many things about tomorrow

I don't seem to understand

But I know who holds tomorrow

And I know who holds my hand.



Every step is getting brighter

As the golden stairs I climb;

Every burden's getting lighter,

Every cloud is silver-lined.

There the sun is always shining,

There no tear will dim the eye;

At the ending of the rainbow

Where the mountains touch the sky.



I don't know about tomorrow;

It may bring me poverty.

But the one who feeds the sparrow,

Is the one who stands by me.

And the path that is my portion

May be through the flame or flood;

But His presence goes before me

And I'm covered with His blood.

THE ROLLING STONES lyrics - I'm A King Bee

(Moore)



Well I'm a king bee

Buzzing around your hive

Well I'm a king bee, baby

Buzzing around your hive

Yeah I can make honey baby

Let me come inside

Well I'm a king bee

Want you to be my queen

Well I'm a king bee, baby

Want you to be my queen

Together we can make honey

The world has never seen

Well, buzz a while...

Sting you bad...

Well I'm a king bee

Can buzz all night long

Well I'm a king bee, baby

Can buzz all night long

Yeah I can buzz better baby

When your man is gone

HANK WILLIAMS, JR. lyrics - Whiskey Bent And Hell Bound

I've got a good woman at home

Who thinks I do no wrong

But sometimes, Lord, she just ain't always around

And you know that's when I fall

Now I can't help myself at all

And I get whiskey bent and hell bound



Play me some songs about a ramblin man

Put a cold one in my hand

Cause you know I love to hear those guitar sounds

Don't you play, I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry

Cause I'll get all balled up inside

And I'll get whiskey bent and hell bound



Sure enough about closin time

About stoned out of my mind

And I end up with some honkytonk special I found

Just as sure as the mornin sun comes

Thinkin of my sweet girl at home

And I need to get whiskey bent and hell bound



Play me the songs about ramblin man

Put old Jim Beam in my hand

Cause you know I still love to get drunk

And hear country sounds

But don't you play, Your Cheatin Heart

Cause that'll tear me all apart

I'll get whiskey bent and hell bound



Yeah, old Hank's songs

Always make me feel low down

TOM WAITS lyrics - How's It Gonna End

He had 3 whole dollars

A worn out car

And a wife who was

LEaving for good

LIfe's made of trouble

Worry pain and struggle

She wrote good bye in

The dust on the hood

THey found a a map of Missouri

Lipstick on the glass

They must of left

In the middle of the nite



And I want to know

The same thing

Everyone wants to know

How it going to end?



Behind a smoke colored

Curtain, the girl

Disappeared, the found out

The ring was a fake

A tree born crooked

Will never grow straight

She sunk like a hammer in to the lake

A long lost letter and

And old leaky boat

Promises are never meant

To keep



And I want to know

The same thing

Everyone wants to know

How it going to end?



The barn leaned over

The vultures dried their wings

The moon climbed up an empty sky

The sun sank down behind the tree

On the hill

There's a killer and he's coming

Thru the rye

But maybe he's the Father

Of that lost little girl

It's hard to tell in this light



And I want to know

The same thing

Everyone wants to know

How it going to end?



Drag your wagon and your plow

Over the bones of the dead

Out among the roses and the weeds

You can never go back

And the answer is no

And wishing for it only

Makes it bleed



Joel Tornabene was broken

On the wheel

Shane and Bum Mahoney on the lamb

The grain was as gold

As Sheila's hair

All the way from Liverpool

With all we could steal

He was robbed of twenty dollars

His body found stripped

Cast into the harbour

There and drowned



And I want to know

The same thing

Everyone wants to know

How it going to end?



THe sirens are snaking their

Way up the hill

It's last call somewhere in

The wordl

The reptiles blend in with the

Color of the street

Life is sweet at the edge

Of a razor

And down in the front row of

An old picture show

The old man is asleep

As the credits start to roll



And I want to know

The same thing

Everyone wants to know

How it going to end?

ERNEST TUBB AND LORETTA LYNN lyrics - Let's Wait A Little Longer

(Billy Sherrill - Curly Putman)



I can see you are not happy the way you've been acting

And I think you'd like to be free

I know he's a good man but I know that you can be a whole lot happier with me

In your eyes there's a yearning and inside you're a burning

And I'd like to put out the flame

So let's get together like birds of a feather and we let the love take the blame

But right now I don't think that I can leave him for lately he's been so good to me

And there might be once more chance that things might work out

So let's wait a little longer then we'll see

But the way I can make you forget him cause I'll take you

To places that you've never been

We'll may call the night spots the dim and the bright spots

And then we'll forget where we've been

We'll walk sunny beaches and taste Georgia peaches and swing from Maine to Mexico

If you'll come along we can make life a song and you won't be tied down anymore

But still I don't think that I can leave him for lately he's been so good to me

And there might be once more chance that things might work out

So let's wait a little longer then we'll see yes let's wait a little longer then we'll see

MARILLION lyrics - Marbles I

(Hogarth/Kelly/Mosley/Rothery/Trewavas)



[Marbles I-IV]



Did anyone see my last marble

As it rolled out and over the floor?

It fell through a hole in the corner

Of a room in a town on a tour

It's lonely without your last marble

I miss it not rattling around

As I lie in my bed there's a space in my head

Where there used to be colours and sound..



When I was a child I had marbles

They brought admiration and fame

They were pretty to look at and marbles

Was always my favourite game



We played all the summer days

In the stony alleyways

In the playground after class

We would trade the coloured glass

More valuable than diamonds

More magical than diamonds

Did anyone see..

Did anyone see..

Does anyone see?



There were almost four hundred until the black day

I discovered how high they would fly to the sky

If you used them for tennis instead of a ball..



Zinging glass satellites crueller than fate

Whacked with a racket up into the blue

I'd smashed all the greenhouses on the estate

And a crowd formed a queue at the gate..



That was almost the end of my marbles

Confiscated, I choked back the tears

I hung onto a handful of favourites

That disappeared over the years



Did anyone see my last marble

I swear that I had it before

Sometimes I think I should go see a shrink

In case he can find me some more



Did anyone see my last marble?

I'd saved it to give it away

Since I was a youth

Now I don't have no proof

Only words

Only words

Only words.

ARETHA FRANKLIN lyrics - Don't Waste Your Time

(Denise Rich, Josh Ruben)



[Mary:]

Lately I've got this funny feeling

Something don't feel the same

But he's telling me I'm the one to blame

Yes I know that he still gives me good loving

But when he's deep inside

There's somebody else on his mind



[Chorus:]

[Aretha:] Don't waste your time

[Mary:] But it gets so hard to know

[Aretha:] Just walk away

[Mary:] You say that I gotta let go

[Both:] Seen it a millions times before

[Aretha:] You shouldn't take his stuff no more

[Mary:] Can't waste my time

[Aretha:] Girl, it's not hard to know

[Mary:] Should walk away

[Aretha:] Oh, you've gotta let him go

[Both:] Seen it a millions times before

[Mary:] Shouldn't take his ish no more



[Aretha:]

Sister girl, sister girl

It's much deeper than what you're thinking

When something don't feel the same

Hey you better believe his love has change

(And I have been telling you, telling you)

And what you're telling me

(Cuz it's been hurting me, hurting me)

It ain't, ain't any fool can see

He's got a sweetie on the side

Stop making truth out of his lies



[Chorus]



[Aretha & Mary:]

What's the point of love

When you got no trust

What's the point of staying

When you seen enough

What's the point of giving

What he don't deserve



[Mary:]

He don't deserve it

No you don't deserve it



[Aretha:]

Oh what's the point of feeling



[Aretha & Mary:]

Like there's nothing inside

What's the point of saying

That you still got your pride

What's the point of giving

What he don't deserve

This is a lesson of love



[Chorus until fade]

THE KINGSTON TRIO lyrics - Oh, Sail Away

(John Phillips)



[Chorus:]

Just a-singin', (Once again now,) (Just a-singin',) (A-singin',) Ooo, sail away. Ooo, sail away.



A man would be a fool to spend all his money and have to go to sea once more.

But when those brown skin gals start callin' you honey, you'll be a sailin' from that shore.



[Chorus]



When we hit Trinidad, was there I met Marni. Don't you know we started drinkin' rum.

But now I feel so bad. She took all my money and now I sail with the mornin' sun.



So all ye sailor lads who want to go sportin', mark ye well what I do say.

Don't trust them brown skin gals. They'll be your misfortune. You'll be at sea till your dyin' day.



[Chorus]

WEIRD AL YANKOVIC lyrics - Nobody Here But Us Frogs

Oh, I've really got those ozone layer blues

From my elbow down to my shoes

So let's throw another fire on the logs



Now we can go downtown and fill the latrine

With genuine Columbian lima beans

Dynastic and elastic, it's all made out of plastic

There's nobody here but us frogs



I'd like to find a girl who really cares

About the size of my nasal hairs

She could feed bananas to the dogs



We could climb the church and look down from the steeple

Where all the ants look like people

Nutritious and delicious, it's even surreptitious

There's nobody here but us frogs



They say I'm crazy

But I couldn't care less

Why don't they leave me alone

Can't they see that I'm happy to be a psychiatrical mess



I get a thrill

Bein' mentally ill, yes I do

They seem to think it's a crime

But it's a pleasure sublime, oh yes



That's why I'm happy here inside these padded walls

Makin' obscene telephone calls

And throwin' TV dinners to the hogs



I never trust a naked Eskimo

And don't you eat that purple snow

Revolting and disgusting

My belly button's rusting

There's nobody here but us frogs



They say I'm crazy

But I couldn't care less

Why don't they leave me alone

Can't they see that I'm happy to be a psychiatrical mess



I get a thrill

Bein' mentally ill, yes I do

They seem to think it's a crime

But it's a pleasure sublime, oh yes



That's why I'm happy here inside these padded walls

Makin' obscene telephone calls

And throwin' TV dinners to the hogs

I like to eat my ice cubes boiling hot

And Wilshire Boulevard's a Commie plot



Amazingly congruent, and commonly affluent

Innately effervescent, surprisingly incessant

Superblier commended, eccentric and demented

There's nobody here but us

Nobody here but us

Nobody here but us frogs, I mean it

Nobody here but us frogs

RAY CHARLES lyrics - Come With Me

Come with me

Where the food is free

Where the landlord never comes near you

Be a guest in a house of rest

Where the best of fellows can cheer you.

There's your own little room

So cool, not too much light

Where you're one man for whom

No wife waits up at night

When day ends

You have lots of friends

Who will guard you well while you slumber

Safe from battle and strife

Safe from the wind and gale

Come with me to jail

You'll never have to fetch the milk

Or walk the dog at early dawn

There's no -"Get up - you're late for work!"

While you rest in the pearly dawn

You're never bored by politics

You're privileged to miss a row

Of tragedies by Sophocles

And diatribes by Cicero

Your brother's wife will never come

On Sunday noon to bring to you

Her little son who plays the lute,

Her little girl to sing to you

You can commit you little "sin"

And relatives won't yell "Fie!"

You needn't take the annual trip

To the oracle at Delphi

You snore and swear and stretch and yawn

In this, your strictly male house

The only way that sinners go to Heaven

Is in the jailhouse!

DONNA SUMMER lyrics - Take Me

Oh baby, I've got all this love, it's more than enough

Oh baby, I'm filled with desire, I'm caught in your fire

Oh baby, you've got the power to turn me on



You knew it, you looked in my eyes, you read in my mind

You move me, spinning me 'round, around and around

Oh you have the power to rule my mind and soul



Take me, I'll be your woman

Use me, make me your own

Take me, make me your woman

Love me now, and don't leave me alone



Oh baby, there's something inside, that's I just can't hide

Oh baby, well I want you so, just take me real slow

Oh baby, you've got the power to turn me on



I want you, I know what I want, I want what I see

I need you, I need you right now, and you know just how

Well I need you to cool the fire that's burning so



Take me, I'll be your woman

Use me, make me your own

Take me, make me your woman

Love me now, and don't leave me alone



Baby, baby, baby, oh baby,

Oh baby, oh baby, oh baby



Take me, I'll be your woman

Use me, make me your own

Take me, make me your woman

Love me now, and don't leave me alone

Love me now, and don't leave me alone

Love me now, and don't leave me alone

THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS lyrics - On The Drag

You're only happy when you're sad

You're top fueled and you're bad

Parachute in your back pack and

Your knees under your chin

And your boyfriend's getting mad

At all the time you waste

Trying to put your finger on it

The allure of St. Marks place



On the drag, on the drag

You're all waiting 'round for something

And it's never coming back

On the drag, on the drag

It's a genuine disaster

And it's come to make you king

On the drag



"I won't die until I'm dead,"

Are the first words that he said

Don't try to interrupt him,

'Cause he's never gonna stop

And the time is standing still

With all this time to kill

And I'm trying to walk away

From 1st Avenue to A



On the drag, on the drag

It's a genuine disaster

And we've crowned him with his crown

On the drag, on the drag

We're all waiting 'round for something

And it's never coming back

On the drag, on the drag

We're all waiting 'round for something

And it's never coming back



On the drag, on the drag

We're all waiting for disaster

And we crowned him with his crown

On the drag

U2 lyrics - Walk To The Water

She said it wasn't cold

She left her coat at home that day

She wore canvas shoes

White canvas shoes

Around her neck

She wore a silver necklace

It was given to me by my father, she said

It was given to me



She took the back way home

Passed the lights and the summer hill

Turned left onto the north strand

And on, and towards the sea



He said he was an artist

But he really painted billboards

In large capital letters

Large capital letters

He was telling jokes

Nobody else would listen to him



I saw you that day

Your lips were cherry red

Your legs were crossed

Your arms wide open



Your hair was coloured gold

Like a field of corn

You were blown by the wind

You were blown by the wind



Walk, walk, walk...to the water

Walk with me a while

Walk, walk, walk...to the roadside

Walk me in the light



A room in the wild town

Sea facing views

A man with a suitcase

Full of things he doesn't need

I'm looking through your window

I'm walking through your doorway

I'm on the outside

Let me in

Let me love you

Let me love you

Let me...



Walk, walk, walk...to the water

Walk with me...yeah

Walk, walk, walk...to the roadside

Walk with me again

JETHRO TULL lyrics - Night In The Wilderness

I could he sitting on the left of you.

You'd be looking straight ahead.

If I was adrift right across from you,

you still would cut me dead.

I've had better deep discussions

with this plate of soft-shelled crab.



I'd put some spice in your rice.

You'd give me blues in the stew.

I'd give you catfish jumping.

You'd give me all this work to do.

Who's got the cheque on this hot dinner?

Who's got the tabs on the crab?



Another night in the wilderness:

should have been a night on the town.

Lesson in learning how to hold a conversation down.

I'm in splendid isolation, feel that heavy silence fall.

Got all this cut out for me to do.

Another night in the wilderness of you.



Here I am drinking you with my eyes.

You're looking at the gravy on my bib.

I go weak-kneed at the suggestion of you.

What's wrong with the cut of my jib?

Is there a lobster in the offing, or just a fifty dollar cheque?

CARL WILSON lyrics - Of The Times

(Music: Carl Wilson, lyrics: Myrna Smith-Schilling)



Heard you say that you didn't like the state that the world is in

Not a day passes that your faith in man don't get mighty grim

You say you want to have piece of mind

You tell me that you find life is much too unkind

But who else can you blame for the state of your mentality

If you're just a part of the times



Don't dismay 'cause the dollar won't buy all the things you need

You must pay 'cause some other's gettin' high on his selfish greed

You say you want to have piece of mind

You tell me that you find life is much too unkind

You want to settle back into the old days of serenity

If you're just a part of the times



(Do) you know you can go on from here

Dim the past your future's clear

Put the effort in what (you know) can be

The world will turn, deal with adversity



You put on a face for the crowd

You try to get past not allowed

You get what you give and you get it deservedly

And you take it a part of the time

You will not get a thing for a dime

You struggle through the passion the greed and the crime

INXS lyrics - Good + Bad Times

You must have heard

Of all the rules

Thick and thin

Teaches you hard

And all the tricks

Come back on you

Leave them behind

There's a better way

A better way



All along you must have known

Where your life was leading

The good and bad times

Where your life was leading



And I know you've been through hell

Yes I know all about it

And I've seen your cool white face

But I can't seem to care about it

Care about it

CYNDI LAUPER lyrics - A Night To Remember

(Cyndi Lauper, Franke Previte, D. Micale)



I look out my window

Into the pouring rain

I wish I could tell you

That I stopped hearing your name

And then I realize every thought of you

Runs a circle around my heart

I hear your voice haunting me

I feel your touch in the dark



It was a night to remember

All your kisses I still taste

It was a night to remember

Can't forget the look on your face

It was a night



Starlight send a message

Like a beacon into the night

To tell you I'm lonely

When I shut out the light

Because a part of me left with you

So I feel lost inside

Sometimes I look into my mirror

I see you shining through my eyes



It was a night to remember

All your kisses I still taste

It was a night to remember

Can't forget the look on your face

It was a night to remember



All these feelings I can't erase

From my heart



Endless dreams

Around my shoulders

I cannot free this restless heart



It was a night to remember

...Not enough time for you to stay...

...Can't forget the look on your face

PETE SEEGER lyrics - Now We Sit Us Down

Old father hudson

Now we sit us down

Ye winds and waters

Come and gather 'round.



We've had some good eating

Now we sit us down

So let's start the meeting

Come and gather 'round.



Mighty full agenda

Now we sit us down

It's a real mind bender!

Come and gather 'round.



But if we all choose our words well

Now we sit us down

We'll avoid the too-long-talker's hell

Come and gather 'round.

EURYTHMICS lyrics - Anything But Strong

Why do you hurt yourself?

You do it very well

You do it so politely

That you couldn't even tell

When everything has changed

You think you're not to blame

How come you keep on talking

When the whole thing feels so strange?....



But seeing

Is not the same as believing

When everything goes wrong

You're anything but strong



It's all bittersweet

Outside in the street

The grass is growing greener

Underneath your feet

We come and go

The deep water flows

Tiny leaves from smaller seeds

To tall trees do grow



But wanting

Is not the same thing as needing

There's no need to pretend

You can't turn back again

And loving

Is so different to keeping

The hurting that we send

Is so difficult to mend



[Hold on to the good things]

[That keep you from falling down]

[Hold on to the good things]

[That keep you from falling down]



How my heart aches

More than I can take

What are we really learning

When we make the same mistakes?



Where is your hope?

It's all gone up in smoke

You used to be so funny

Now it's just the same old joke



And laughing

Is so very close to crying

When there's nothing to defend

It gets you in the end

And living

Is so very close to dying

You struggle on and on

To find where you belong



Where do you belong?

ROD STEWART lyrics - Tomorrow Is A Long Time

(Bob Dylan)



If today was not an endless highway

If tonight was not a crooked trail

If tomorrow wasn't such a long time

then lonesome would mean nothing to you at all



Ah but only if my own true love is waitin'

Yes and if I could hear her heart a softly poundin'

only if she were lying by me

would I rest in my bed once again



I can't see my reflection in the mirror

I can't speak the sounds that show no pain

I can't hear the echoes of my footsteps

and can't remember the sound of my own name



Ah but only if my own true love is waitin'

Yes and if I could hear her heart a softly poundin'

only if she were lying by me

would I rest in my bed once again



There's beauty in the silver singin' river

There's beauty in the sunlight in the sky

But none of these, and nothing else

can steal the beauty

that I remember in my true love's eyes



Ah but only if my own true love is waitin'

Yes and if I could hear her heart a softly poundin'

only if she were lying by me

would I rest in my bed once again

HARRY CONNICK, JR. lyrics - If I Were A Bell

Ask me how do I feel

now that we're cosy and clinging

Well sir, all I can say, is if I were a bell I'd be ringing!



From the moment we kissed tonight

That's the way I've just gotta behave

Boy, if I were a lamp I'd light

And If I were a banner I'd wave!



Ask me how do I feel, little me with my quiet upbringing

Well sir, all I can say is if gate I'd be swinging!

And if I were a watch I'd start popping my springs!

Or if I were a bell I'd go ding dong, ding dong ding!



Ask me how do I feel from this chemistry lesson I'm learning.

Well sir, all I can say is if I were a bridge I'd be burning!

Yes, I knew my moral would crack

From the wonderful way that you looked!

Boy, if I were a duck I'd quack!

Or if I were a goose I'd be cooked!



Ask me how do I feel,

now that we're fondly caressing

Well, if I were a salad I know I'd be splashing my dressing

Oh, If I were a season

I shortly be spring

Yes, or if I were a bell I'd go

ding dong, ding dong ding!

SWEET lyrics - Shot Down In Flames

Cold, cold in my heart

It tears me apart

I hunger for love

How can I tell this is real

I feel so lonely

Oh so lonely, I hunger for love



Another woman in my arms again

To help me tame the fire

Lookin' over my shoulder





Shot me down in flames

You could've given me a heart attack

Shot me down in flames

I'm burning up, but there's no turning back

Shot me down in flames



Thoughts, they fill my mind

But they're unkind

A mirror of you

Lies that I can see in your eyes

Tell me you're longing

Tell me you're longing to touch my heart



I've been a fool and now I'm on my own

I never meant to hurt you

Still hear the sound of your crying





Shot me down in flames

You could've given me a heart attack

Shot me down in flames

I'm burning up, but there's no turning back

Shot me down in flames



Another woman in my arms again

To help me tame the fire

And you're still crying



Shot me down in flames

You could've given me my heart attack

Shot me down in flames

I'm burning up, but there's no turning back

Shot me down in flames

ROGER TAYLOR lyrics - Beautiful Dreams

(Roger Tailor)



Beautiful dreams we had at night

All children have to dream at night

Eyes closed in sleep of innocence

Sandman had come to us alright

Beautiful dreamers - lost in some never-never dream

Beautiful dreams we had

Just beautiful dreams

Beautiful dreams we had alright

Now we had found the golden key

Door to a secret world

Of chemical dreams

Beautiful dreamers - of beautiful dreams

Beautiful dreams we had

Such beautiful dreams



We'd like to find a cure

For every known disease

There's no such thing you say

The answer is there to see



Colourful dreams we have at night

Of nuclear purity

This is the final twilight

This is the final cure it seems

Beautiful dreamers - drifting in never-never dreams

Beautiful dreams we had

Just beautiful dreams

Dreams - Dreams - Dreams - Dreams

ALBERT KING lyrics - Running Out Of Steam

(Thomas)



I've been chasin' after you babe

It seem like a mighty long time

Oh, I think I'm about to reach

Reach the end of my line



Oh, the more I think of you baby

The further from me you get, it seems

Oh, I guess I'm never gonna catch you, baby

'Cause I'm 'bout runnin' out a-steam



Aww,

The first time I saw you girl

It marked the beginnin' of my chase

I've been runnin' after you ever since

And I haven't got any place



Oh, the more I chase you baby

The further from me you get it seems

Oh, I guess I ain't never gonna catch you girl

'Cause I'm 'bout runnin' out a-steam



Even though I really love you girl

Chasin' you is just like chasin' the devil

The harder I run, the more ya have fun

Now I know you wouldn't care if it lasts forever



'Cause the more I chase ya baby

The further from me you get it seems

I guess I ain't never gonna catch you girl

'Cause I'm 'bout runnin' out a-steam



Oh!

U2 lyrics - Sunday Bloody Sunday

Yes...



I can't believe the news today

Oh, I can't close my eyes

And make it go away

How long...

How long must we sing this song

How long, how long...

'cause tonight...we can be as one

Tonight...



Broken bottles under children's feet

Bodies strewn across the dead end street

But I won't heed the battle call

It puts my back up

Puts my back up against the wall



Sunday, Bloody Sunday

Sunday, Bloody Sunday

Sunday, Bloody Sunday



And the battle's just begun

There's many lost, but tell me who has won

The trench is dug within our hearts

And mothers, children, brothers, sisters

Torn apart



Sunday, Bloody Sunday

Sunday, Bloody Sunday



How long...

How long must we sing this song

How long, how long...

'cause tonight...we can be as one

Tonight...tonight...



Sunday, Bloody Sunday

Sunday, Bloody Sunday



Wipe the tears from your eyes

Wipe your tears away

Oh, wipe your tears away

Oh, wipe your tears away

(Sunday, Bloody Sunday)

Oh, wipe your blood shot eyes

(Sunday, Bloody Sunday)



Sunday, Bloody Sunday (Sunday, Bloody Sunday)

Sunday, Bloody Sunday (Sunday, Bloody Sunday)



And it's true we are immune

When fact is fiction and TV reality

And today the millions cry

We eat and drink while tomorrow they die



(Sunday, Bloody Sunday)



The real battle just begun

To claim the victory Jesus won

On...



Sunday Bloody Sunday

Sunday Bloody Sunday...

DOLLY PARTON lyrics - Gypsy, Joe And Me

(Dolly Parton)



We might have slept in a rail yard or camped by the river bank

We fed ourselves from the fruit of the land

And quenched our thirst with rain

We never did allow no roots to grow beneath our feet

Life just had no pattern for Gypsy Joe and me

All we had was each other and the rags upon our back

The closest thing to a home we new was some abandoned shack

But we had all we needed and the rest we didn't need

Life was free and simple for Gypsy Joe and me

Now Gypsy was my little dog, I found by the road in a ditch

And so I named him Gypsy, cause that name just seemed to fit

Oh and Joe he was my man, the flower of my soul

Thou he never said he loved me, I just always seemed to know

While standing by the highway, thumbin' for a ride

The speeding wheels of a passing car, took Gypsy's life

I lost him where I found him and his loss was misery

Now there's no more Gypsy, there's just Joe and me



Well the winter came and the snow did fall

And the night was cold and still

And the rags we wore were not enough

And Joe he caught the chill

And he told me how he loved me

And in my arms he went to sleep

Now there's no more Gypsy, no more Joe, there's just me



While standin' here on the edge of this bridge

Lookin' down I see

The face of Joe and Gypsy, lookin' back at me

And somewhere in the distance I can hear them callin' me

Tonight we'll be together again

Gypsy, Joe and me

KMFDM lyrics - Inane

Chew it all up - Turn it around - Give the meaning a twist - Spit it back out

Repulsive - Corrosive - Enticing - Confusing - Abusive - Elusive - Provoking

Amusing - Mangled and ground - Decomposed and destroyed - Whatever was found

We invented the sound

Prepared to order - Cooked to perfection - According to taste - No dissatisfaction

German engineering - Astounding ingenuity - Over a decade of conceptual continuity

KMFDM - A constant intrusion - It poisons your blood - You need an infusion

Like everything else it's completely inane

Profoundly profane and it drives me insane

KMFDM - What do you know - Don't blow your top now, here we go!

KMFDM - What's the deal

You're so naive, come on get real!

KMFDM - For what your money can buy

Leave your angst behind and fly sky-high!

KMFDM - Make your choice

Celebrate chaos - Get into the noise!

KMFDM - Nihilistic and free

UAIOE for you and me

Help us, save us, take us away

KMFDM - Make my day

KMFDM - What's the story

Sex on the flag, split and glory

KMFDM can't suck hard enough

Have a little more - You just love that stuff

RAY DAVIES lyrics - Missing Persons

Have you seen this face?

Does it ring a bell?

Does it strike a chord somewhere in your mind?

And there's a big reward,

If you help us solve this crime,

And if you recognize this face, dial 999.



Have you seen this face?

Dig deep in your mind.

Has anybody seen that little girl of mine?

She was always a rover,

But I'm afraid to say she's strayed

Too far this time.



Now I'm sitting at home, staring at the wall.

Waiting for the missing person to call.

Waiting for the message I'm dreading to hear.

Waiting to confirm my darkest fears.

She's a missing person, I wish I could see

All of the places she might be.

Maybe I stopped her from being free.

Maybe there was something missing in me.



Wherever she is, I hope she's doing fine,

But I wish that she would phone or drop us a line.

Till then I've got nothing to ease my mind,

And I'm thinking about her all the time.

STRAY CATS lyrics - Little Miss Prissy

Well I know a little lady, she lives down London way,

She talks and talks all night, but she ain't got much to say.

She don't need no ones opinion, don't want no interruptions,

Just shuts up long enough to reapply the suction



Well she's little miss prissy, and she love you,

but she ain't worth a dime



Well I swallow all her comments, make her all remarks,

When I finally get her where I want her,

Her bite's worse than her bark.



Well she's little miss prissy, she love you,

but she ain't worth the time

She ain't worth the time



Well I know a little lady, she lives down London way,

She talks and talks all night, but she ain't got much to say.

She don't need no ones opinion, don't need no interruptions,

Just shuts up long enough to reapply the suction



Well she's little miss prissy, and she love you,

but she ain't worth the time

She ain't worth the time

but she ain't worth the time

She ain't worth the time. Oh no



Well she's little miss prissy, and she love you,

but she ain't worth the time

REBA MCENTIRE lyrics - It's Your Call

(Liz Hengber/Shawna Harrington-Burkhart/Bruce Burch)



It's your call, It's her

Would you rather take it in the other room

She's hangin' on and so am I

Yeah, I know all about it don't act so surprised



It's time to end this game you're playin'

She's not the only one who's waitin' on the line



It's your call

It's up to you

And I won't try to stop you if you go

But if you stay tell her goodbye

I can't take another minute

I can't stand another night



Of wondering if I even matter

It's something only you can answer

Here's the phone, It's your call



There's no easy way out this time

Cause I won't live this way

She called here to talk to you

With a message that I can't take



Oh, I've got to know if I still matter

It's somethin' only you can answer

Here's the phone, It's your call

MARK KNOPFLER lyrics - Golden Heart

She was swinging by the bangles in a main street store

A while before we met

The most dangerous angels that you ever saw

She spied her amulet



And she took a loop of leather for around her neck

And that was then the start

The most dangerous lady on her quarter deck

She found her Golden Heart

You found your Golden Heart



Then we swirled around each other and the thread was spun

to some Arcadian band

I would stop it from swinging like a pendulum

Just to hold time in my hand



And you shot me with a cannonball of history

And long forgotten art

I'd be turning it over as our words ran free

I'd hold your Golden Heart

I'd hold your Golden Heart



Nothing in the world prepared me for you, your heart, your heart

Nothing in the world that I love more your heart, your heart

Your Golden Heart



And every time I'm thinking of you from a distant shore

And all the time I sleep

I will have a reminder that my baby wore

A part of you to keep



And I'll send you all my promises across the sea

And while we are apart

I will carry the wonder that you gave to me

I'll wear your Golden Heart

I'll wear your Golden Heart



Nothing in the world prepared me for you, your heart, your heart

Nothing in the world that I love more your heart, your heart

Your Golden Heart

THE BYRDS lyrics - C. T.A. - 102

(McGuinn / Hippard)



C. T.A. 102 year over year receiving you

Signals tell us that you're there

We can hear them loud and clear



We just want to let you know

That we're ready for to go

Out into the universe, we don't care who's been there first



On a radio telescope

Science tells us that there's hope

Life on other planets might exist

CHER lyrics - Times They Are A Changin'

(Bob Dylan)



Come gather 'round people

Wherever you roam

And admit that the waters

Around you have grown

And accept it that soon

You'll be drenched to the bone.

If your time to you

Is worth savin'

Then you better start swimmin'

Or you'll sink like a stone

For the times they are a-changin'.



Come writers and critics

Who prophesize with your pen

And keep your eyes wide

The chance won't come again

And don't speak too soon

For the wheel's still in spin

And there's no tellin' who

That it's namin'.

For the loser now

Will be later to win

For the times they are a-changin'.



Come senators, congressmen

Please heed the call

Don't stand in the doorway

Don't block up the hall

For he that gets hurt

Will be he who has stalled

There's a battle outside

And it is ragin'.

It'll soon shake your windows

And rattle your walls

For the times they are a-changin'.



Come mothers and fathers

Throughout the land

And don't criticize

What you can't understand

Your sons and your daughters

Are beyond your command

Your old road is

Rapidly agin'.

Please get out of the new one

If you can't lend your hand

For the times they are a-changin'.



The line it is drawn

The curse it is cast

The slow one now

Will later be fast

As the present now

Will later be past

The order is

Rapidly fadin'.

And the first one now

Will later be last

For the times they are a-changin'.

BOY GEORGE lyrics - Use Me

Waking up beside you

Felt just like a major crime

Wherever else to hide

those dirty little thoughts of mine

No angel tryin'a love you no way

I wouldn't put that by your side

But I ain't, I ain't above you no

I let my morals take a slide

When you know it's over

Why then waiste my time

When you know it's over

Don't tell me it's just one more mountain to climb

Use me

Use me like you found the time

Use me

Use me cozs tonight you're mine

No angel tryin' to love you no way

I wouldn't put that by your side

But I ain't, I ain't above you no

I let my morals take a slide

When you know it's over

Why then waiste my time

When you know it's over

Don't tell me it's just one more mountain to climb

Use me

Use me like you found the time

Use me

Use me cozs tonight you're mine

PETE TOWNSHEND lyrics - Anyway Anyhow Anywhere

I can go anyway Way I choose

I can live anyhow Win or lose

I can go anywhere For something new

Anyway, anyhow, anywhere I choose



I can do anything Right or wrong

I can talk anyhow And get along

I don't care anyway I'll never lose

Anyway, anyhow, anywhere I choose



Nothin' gets in my way

Not even locked doors

Don't follow the lines that been layed before

I get along anyway I dare

Anyway, anyhow, anywhere



[Harp solo]



I can go anywhere I choose

I can go anywhere I choose

This is what we used to believe

We thought we'd live forever

I can go anywhere

I can do anything

I live anyhow



[Guitar solo]



I can go anywhere Way I choose

I can live anyhow Win or lose

I can do anything Right on you

Anyway, anyhow, anywhere I choose



I can do anything right or wrong

I can talk anyhow and get along

I don't care anyway you know I never lose

Anyway, anyhow, anywhere I choose



Anyway I choose

You know I never lose

Anyway I choose

THE SHIRELLES lyrics - Baby, It's You

(Bacharach/David/Williams)



It's not the way you smile that touched my heart.

It's not the way you kissed that tears me apart.



Many, many, many nights go by.

I sit alone at home and cry over you.

What can I do?

Don't want nobody, nobody

Cause, baby, it's you.

Baby, it's you.



Is it true what they say about you?

They say you'll never, ever, never be true.

It doesn't matter what they say.

I know I'm gonna love you any old way.

What can I do?

What 'bout you?

Don't want nobody, nobody.

Baby, it's you.

Baby, it's you.



Baby.



It doesn't matter what they say.

I know I'm gonna love any old way.

What can I do?

What 'bout you?

Don't want nobody, nobody.

Baby, it's you.

Baby, it's you.



Don't leave me alone.

Come on home.

Baby, it's you.

Baby, it's you.

You know I need your lovin'

You know I love you.

Baby, it's you.

Baby...

BABYFACE lyrics - She

First time I saw her it was heaven

Prettiest thing I'd ever seen

I knew from that moment she was the only girl, I love her

That's when she gave her heart to me



[Chorus:]

She belongs to you and me

She's the angel in our dreams

Thank you lucky stars, she fell in love with me

Were not for her, you and I would never be



Sometime in December was the day you were conceived

We were as close as close could be

Now you cant remember but the day hat you were born

You were even closer then me



[Chorus]



God only knows how much she loves you

Well I've just as much as she, yes I do

Boy I only hope when you grow up you'll find a woman

That will love you like your mother has loved me



[Chorus 2x]

MELISSA ETHERIDGE lyrics - Must Be Crazy For Me

You tell me not to call you up

Cause it ties you down

Don't tell your friends

You've been hangin' round

You must be crazy for me



You say you'll see me once or twice

Every week or two

There's more important things

That you've got to do

You must be crazy for me



Cause when I kissed you last night

In my own backyard

You ran so fast

And you fought so hard

You must be crazy for me

You must be crazy for me



You don't like my hair

You don't like my car

You don't like my friends

You met at the bar

You must be crazy for me



I see you shake you head

And you roll your eyes

Your firm remark

To remove my thigh

You must be crazy for me



Cause when I kissed you last night

In my own backyard

You ran so fast

And you fought so hard

You must be crazy for me

You must be crazy for me



Do not expect you to wait

Do not expect you to phone

Do not expect anything

When I catch you alone

You must be crazy for me



Cause when I kissed you last night

In my own backyard

You ran so fast

And you fought so hard

You must be crazy for me

You must be crazy for me

JERRY LEE LEWIS lyrics - Just A Bummin' Around

(Pete Graves)



I got an ol' slouch hat,

Got my roll on my shoulder

I'm as free as a breeze

An' do as I please,

Just a bummin' around...



Gotta million friends,

I don't feel any older

I've got nothin' to lose

Not even the blues,

Just a bummin' around...



Whenever worries start

To botherin' me ( start botherin' me! )

I grab my coat, my ol' slouch hat,

Hit the trail again,

You see...



I ain't got a dime,

Don't care where I'm goin'

I'm as free as a breeze

An' do as I please,

Just a bummin' around!



I hit the trail again,

You see...



I ain't got a dime,

Don't care where I'm goin'

I'm as free as a breeze

An' do as I please,

Just a bummin' around...



Just a bummin' around...

Just a bummin' around...

Just a bummin' around...

VAN DER GRAAF GENERATOR lyrics - Orthenthian Street Part II

Can't stop for a second:

we might see how silly we all are.

Can't get out, even for a moment:

might be hit by a passing car.

Dreams shatter and fall into dust,

as long as we're travelling I suppose they must.

But, while we're on the road, our days'll be glowing;

and when we part, as you know we must,

we'll leave, just going

ever so slowly,

ever so slowly.



Motorway signs flash past like flies,

it's getting late and we're going home.

We all travel in parallel lines,

heading into the twilight zone.

All I really want now is you by my side;

yes, it's a sweet ride

while we're still together.



Yes, it's a sunny day, and we're off on our sea trip;

The water may be cold in the bay,

but we're safe on our sailing ship,

and, if ice forms, you can walk home to land

and still cling to my hand

if you still want to...

L. A. GUNS lyrics - Scream

How come every time I think I've got it all worked out

Some one comes and turns it over, turns it upside down



I ride these city streets at night

Sometimes I do things that ain't right

A lonely heart, tears me apart

Some times I just want to scream



Should we all go down together, I don't really care

Rather lose in Babylon than make it anywhere



I rode this town for 13 years

I've seen sinners, saints and queers

You best believe, you can never leave

Some times I just want to scream



You make me scream [10x]



How come every time I think I've got it all worked out

Some one comes and turns it over, turns it upside down



I rode this town for 13 years

I've seen sinners, saints and queers

You best believe, you can never leave

Some times I just want to scream

QUEEN lyrics - Innuendo

(Queen)



While the sun hangs in the sky and the desert has sand

While the waves crash in the sea and meet the land

While there's a wind and the stars and the rainbow

Till the mountains crumble into the plain

Oh yes we'll keep on tryin'

Tread that fine line

Oh we'll keep on tryin' yeah

Just passing our time

While we live according to race, colour or creed

While we rule by blind madness and pure greed

Our lives dictated by tradition, superstition, false religion

Through the eons, and on and on

Oh yes we'll keep on tryin'

We'll tread that fine line

Oh we'll keep on tryin'

Till the end of time

Till the end of time



Through the sorrow all through our splendour

Don't take offence at my innuendo



You can be anything you want to be

Just turn yourself into anything you think that you could ever be

Be free with your tempo, be free be free

Surrender your ego - be free, be free to yourself



Oooh, ooh -

If there's a God or any kind of justice under the sky

If there's a point, if there's a reason to live or die

If there's an answer to the questions we feel bound to ask

Show yourself - destroy our fears - release your mask

Oh yes we'll keep on trying



Hey tread that fine line

Yeah we'll keep on smiling yeah

And whatever will be - will be

We'll just keep on trying

We'll just keep on trying

Till the end of time

Till the end of time

Till the end of time

CYNDI LAUPER lyrics - Eventually

(Cyndi Lauper, Ryuichi Sakamoto)



I met a man

And talked about you

He seemed like a man from Osaka I knew

And he listened while I told him how you hurt me

And he consoled me when he told me he'd been hurt too



And he said we are inter-dependent

And the effects on each other never ending

And that the air has no boundaries

I think this water that surrounds me

Is the same water soaking through to you



So what comes floating to me

Eventually

Will come floating back to you

What comes floating to me

Eventually

Will come floating back to you



I had some tea

With a gal from Paris

We talked about life, sex, love and poetry

And you can't help it

Your name came up again

And she said man those kind of guys

Really know how to steal all of the oxygen



And I said we are inter-dependent

And the effects on each other never ending

And that the air has no boundaries

I think this water that surrounds me

Is the same water soaking' through to you



So what comes floating to me

Eventually

Will come floating back to you

What comes floating to me

Eventually

Will come floating back to you



I have a friend I confide in

He always says doll you got to learn not to lead with your chin

But you can't help it

It all comes up again

And then you have your fill

And your spill reaches down as far as a flood



So what comes floating to me

Eventually

Will come floating back to you

What comes floating to me

Eventually

Will come floating back to you



Eventually

Eventually

Will come floating back to you

Eventually

Eventually

STING lyrics - Something The Boy Said

When we set out on this journey

There were no doubts in our minds

We set our eyes to the distance

We would find what we would find

We took courage from our numbers

What we sought we did not fear

Sometimes we'd glimpse a shadow falling

The shadow would disappear

But our thoughts kept returning

To something the boy said

As we turned to go

He said you'll never see our faces again

You'll be food for a carrion crow



Every step we took today

Our thoughts would always stray

From the wind on the moor so wild

To the words of the captain's child

Something the boy said



In the circles we made with our fires

We talked of the pale afternoon

The clouds were like dark riders

Flying on the face of the moon

We spoke our fears to the captain

And asked what his son could know

For we would never have marched so far

To be food for a crow



Every step we took today

Our thoughts would always stray

From the wind on the moor so wild

To the words of the captain's child

Something the boy said



When I awoke this morning

The sun's eye was red as blood

The stench of burning corpses

Faces in the mud

Am I dead or am I living?

I'm too afraid to care, I'm too afraid to know

I'm too afraid to look behind me

At the feast of the crow

We spoke our fears to the captain

And asked what his son could know

For we would never have marched so far

To be food for a crow



Something the boy said

JOAN ARMATRADING lyrics - I Wanna Hold You

You got the look

I like

You make the people stare

And it's getting me

In a state



You're going out

With someone

I don't approve of

And it's getting me

In a state



I see you in a restaurant

I wanna hold you

I see you with your mother

I wanna hold you

I see you when you don't see me

I wanna hold you



I wanna hold you

In my arms

And I wanna

Love you

I want you

And I'm gonna try



I'm searching but

I don't

Know why I bother

'Cos I've seen you

And you look

Just right

BRENDA LEE lyrics - Something's Wrong With Me

(D. Janssen - B. Hart)



Something wrong with me, can't get you out of my mind

I see your face in everything I do

It feels like I've known you for a long long time

I only want to make it with you



Something in your eyes that just wont let me forget you

Something in you face that keeps me hanging around you

Something's got a hold of me the day that I met you

There's something wrong with me

Something's wrong with me



Yesterday I saw you on the street with someone

I said it doesn't matter to me

Behind this smile, I'm wearing all the tears of a clown

Cause loving you is where I want to be



Something in your eyes that just wont let me forget you

Something in you face that keeps me hanging around you

Something's got a hold of me the day that I met you

Something wrong with me

Something's wrong with me

There's Something wrong with me

There's Something wrong with me

There's Something wrong



Something in your eyes that just wont let me forget you

Something in you face that keeps me hanging around you

Something's got a hold of me the day that I met you

Something wrong with me

SONNY AND CHER lyrics - By Love I Mean

Ran away, would of stay

But loneliness made me afraid

My heart decided and my feet obeyed

Now I'm living just to love you



Day again, night again

I'm waiting for a ride again

I need to be inside again

And a friendly fire to warm me



[Chorus:]

By love I mean

We'll be alone together

By love I mean

I want to spend my life with you

By love I mean

I will need or want no other

That's what I mean by love



Back again, inside again

Feeling I'm alive again

Got my lover, got my friend again

And I got some pride inside me



Ran away, would of stay

But loneliness made me afraid

My heart decided and my feet obeyed

Now I'm living just to love you



[Chorus]

WALTER BECKER lyrics - My Waterloo

I came a long long way from home

I travelled far just to be here today

Across an endless sea of salty tears

Behind the divided line of eighteen years



You gotta walk that road alone

You gotta walk that lonely

I wear my heart out on my sleeve

A sight you surely must have spied by now

I admit that I don't even know your name

I feel like I could know you all the same



Are you gonna walk that road with me sometime

Or is it gonna be that lonely

Are you gonna walk that road with me this time

Don't make me be that lonely



It's still no easy thing to hold your head up high

When every time you turn around

Somebody kicks your statue down

I tried my best to hold my ground

I swore I'd never let it be this way

But now I broke my sword, dropped my gun

Just like some tragic beat Napoleon



Now I gotta walk that road again

Now I gotta walk that lonely

Now I gotta walk that road one time

Now I gotta be that lonely



What with no better way to go

As long as I'm still kicking that gong around

I see this time I met my match in you

I know now that you are My Waterloo

My Waterloo

LITA FORD lyrics - Hellbound Train

Bad luck and trouble

Crashin' through my veins

And I ain't bound for glory

There's a devil in my brain

Got a fistful of whiskey, a suitcase full of sin

An' there's a thousand nasty habits

Underneath my skin



We can fly on wings of the flames

Comin' down hard, only yourself to blame

Playin' so tough in a deadly game

Ain't that a shame



Goin' down tonight on a Hellbound train

Goin' down tonight on a Hellbound train



I'm a speed demon baby, movin' way too fast

You put a dagger through my soul

But you'll never kick my ass, oh, no

We can fly on the wings of the flames

Comin' down hard, only yourself to blame

Playin' so tough in a deadly game

Ain't that a shame



Goin' down tonight on a Hellbound train

Goin' down tonight on a Hellbound train

Goin' down tonight, I'm Hellbound



Ain't good for nothin', nothin's what I crave

I'm your Angel of Darkness

And I'll see you in Hell one day

We can fly on the wings of the flames

Comin' down hard, only yourself to blame

Playin' so tough in a deadly game

Ain't that a shame



Goin' down tonight on a Hellbound train

Goin' down tonight on a Hellbound train

Goin' down tonight, I'm Hellbound

On a Hellbound train

THE ALAN PARSONS PROJECT lyrics - Days Are Numbers (The Traveller)

The traveller is always leaving town

He never has the time to turn around

And if the road he's taken isn't leading anywhere

He seems to be completely unaware



The traveller is always leaving home

The only kind of life he's ever known

When every moment seems to be

A race against the time

There's always one more mountain left to climb



Days are numbers

Watch the stars

We can only see so far

Someday, you'll know where you are

Remember

Days are numbers

Count the stars

We can only go so far

One day, you'll know where you are



The traveller awaits the morning tide

He doesn't know what's on the other side

But something deep inside of him

Keeps telling him to go

He hasn't found a reason to say no



The traveller is only passing through

He cannot understand your point of view

Abandoning reality, unsure of what he'll find

The traveller in me is close behind



Days are numbers

Watch the stars

We can only see so far

Someday, you'll know where you are

Remember

Days are numbers

Count the stars

We can only go so far

One day, you'll know where you are

BRYAN ADAMS lyrics - Wait And See

There you go looking cool,

Writing rules

For your theories of romance.



I know that you doubt me,

But without me

You'd be tearing off your one chance.



Wait and see,

This could be the last time for me.

Baby, just wait and see.



All the times

I came running back

Down the path of the least resistance.



I felt my body

Was just a hobby

For your heart's indifference.



Wait and see,

This could be the last time for me.

Now baby, can't you wait and see?

Just you wait and see.

Just you wait and see.

Wait and see.



I've been trapped by your innocence,

Haven't seen you since

You caught me, baby.



Shot down by the one I love,

Now I'm taking off

With the things you taught me.



Wait and see,

This could be the last time for me.

Now baby, can't you wait and see?

Just you wait and see.

Just you wait and see.

Wait and see.

JOHN (COUGAR) MELLENCAMP lyrics - Take What You Want

Put your life on the table

Stick your money on the line

Create the situation there, one more time

Your name it means nothing

And the dreams that we live??



And now you don't care if she is, the girl from next door

She's never been known for nothing, but a motor street whore

You don't believe nothin' that you can't see

And you see me as nothing, to me, yeah-ah yeah



[Chorus:]

You can take what you want

Take what you want

Take what you want

But just don't take it away

You can stay if you want

Stay if you want

Stay if you want

But just don't stay all day

Cause you know it means nothing, to me



Don't see much sense in lying here with you

The sex is over now, what is there left to do

Conversation, conversation baby, I don't talk that much

And now I don't know when I'm gonna see you again

I'm leaving tomorrow and this will all start again

I hope you don't believe that you was a failure??

And you see it means nothin' to be a man



[Chorus 2x]



But you know it means nothing

Yeah you know it means nothing

Yeah you know it means nothing, to me

THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS lyrics - Mr. Me

Once a boy named Mister Me bemoaned a great regret

I've floundered in the misty sea, but can't abide its mystery

I wound up sad, you bet



So onward go and Edward Ho into the bounding main

Enjoy the show look out below but mind the misty sea

Or end up sad like Mister Me



He ended up sad

He ended up sad

He ended up really, really, really sad

He ended up sad

He ended up sad

He ended up really, really, really sad



So take the hand of Mister Me and mister, make him glad

To swim the Mister Misty Sea and cease the Mister Mystery

That mister, made him sad



He ended up sad

He ended up sad

He ended up really, really, really sad

He ended up sad

He ended up sad

He ended up really, really, really sad



He ended up sad

He ended up sad

He ended up really, really, really sad

He ended up sad

He ended up sad

He ended up really, really, really sad

SARAH BRIGHTMAN lyrics - Colder Than Winter

It's colder than winter

Right here in my heart

Lord, I'm gonna miss her

She's torn me apart



I couldn't make you love me

I couldn't give you any more

It's colder than winter

Since you closed the door



It's colder than winter

I'm freezin' inside

And my tears won't be bitter

Even though our love died



I couldn't make you love me

I couldn't give you anymore

It's colder than winter

Since you closed the door



Every time the sun sets

I shed another tear

And the lonelier I get

Wishing you were still here



I couldn't make you love me

I couldn't give you any more

It's colder than winter

Since you closed the door



It's colder than winter

Since you closed the door

Girl on the floor, all her friends around her

I mean real clean, ain't gotta touch or nuttin

It ain't like I like a chick on chick or sum'n

I'm just a sucker for a hot track

Gimme a drink and a chick to tell "Stop that"

Dance is a hop then a clap, flip it 'round

Now bring it on back, break it down - now switch



[Chorus: Robin Thicke]

Do that dance, girl, now switch



[Verse Two: Will Smith]

Uh - I got a question, I need to ask somebody

Why is it that when y'all see me at the party

Y'all be looking like "Ooh, he a movie star

He ain't supposed to be out on the floor with e'rybody"

But oh wait, whoa y'all forgettin

When I was, amateur spittin before the scripts were written

First one in, last one out the club

Burstin in, passin out in the club

Back at it, this cat is the wit and the charm

Taking you higher like a syringe hittin ya arm

Bringing the fire, making you binge, ring the alarm

Let me see you clap and spin, baby come on - switch!



[Chorus]



[Robin Thicke] + (Will Smith)

I don't want to see you standin

When you look as fine as you (to the left one time girl)

I don't want to see you standin

When you look as fine as you (yo, to the back one time girl)

I don't want to see you standin

When you looks as fine as you (to the right one time girl)

I don't want to see you standin, girl

Look so fine as you (slide it up front, slide it up front)

{left, right, East, West, up, down, North, South} (Robin Thicke)

{left, right, East, West, up, down, North, South} (Big Will, yo)

Look so fine as you babe
