LORETTA LYNN lyrics - Family Tree



Woman, you don't know me, but you can bet that I know you

Everybody in this whole darn town knows you too

I brought along our little babies, ‘cause I wanted them to see

The woman that’s burnin’ down our family tree



No I didn’t come to fight

If he was a better man I might

But I wouldn’t dirty my hands on trash like you, no

Bring out the babies’ daddy, that’s who they’ve come to see

Not the woman that’s burnin’ down our family tree



Their daddy once was a good man, until he ran into trash like you

Take a look at the baby’s face and tell me who loves who

I brought along his old dog Charlie and the bills that’s overdue

The job you’re workin’...Lord, we need money, too



No I didn’t come to fight

If he was a better man I might

But I wouldn’t dirty my hands on trash like you, no

Bring out the babies’ daddy, that’s who they’ve come to see

Not the woman that’s burnin’ down our family tree

No not the woman that’s burnin’ down our family tree


VAN HALEN lyrics - Black And Blue

LUTHER VANDROSS lyrics - Get It Right



[Precise]

Morning

Some of y'all may think

That this next track

A little risky for a Luther joint

But all you gotta do is listen to get it

Get it right

Alright, ch'all, lets start from number one

And get down till it's done



Now watch this sketch as I stretch this mall

Too live to drive so we put it in park

With Luther hoping that you feeling his groove

Get you open on the instruments too, one two, one two

And I say, jottin' down the lines

Like dots on the Parkway

My Auntie Eloise say stay on your Q's and P's

And until the days of D's, I'm doin' what I please

Ease on down like the road

Depending on the mood, definitely into more

And you can catch a yellow brick

You need to run and tell your click

That the female in town is bringing it

Now listen, Mission Impossible

Keep it general like the hospital

Shake, rattle and roll, to rock wit' chu

The Pre to the C-I-S-E do



[Luther]

Let's get this thing to workin'

There's no reason to wait

The time is now to start it

We all could use the change



[1] - Do it till we get it, get it right

Till we get it

Ain't no doubt, "Cise" is gonna turn it out

Do it till we get

Stay with it and get it right

Do it till we get it

Never stop, Luther take it to the top

Do it till we get it

Take the time and get it right



[Precise]

Get all up in your back and down your spine

Got to keep it on track like the A train line

To the junction out in Brooklyn

What's your function

Keep you lookin' once again

As I punch in those lines like the SV-1200

Precise on the mic, you

But we gon' get top shot at the party

Started rockin'

And I got first dibs on the dark skinned kid



[Luther]

And I know just how to do it

To make it really nice

There's no mystery to it

Do it till you get it right



[Repeat 1]



[2] - Feels so good to get it

Get it

It's so good to get it

Get it, get it right

Feels so good to get it

Get it

It's so good to get it

Get it, get it right



And oh, don't give up now

We can make it, we can take it right to the top

Come on and never stop

Oh, and let's reach for the sky

And if we keep believing we can never go too high

Why don't we give it a try

Come on and keep reaching up

And don't you worry

No, you won't use up your stuff

No way to get enough

Do it till we get it right

And even if it takes from morning till way into night

We got to



[Repeat 1]



Till we get it

Ain't no doubt, "Cise" is gonna turn it out

Do it till we get it

Stay with it and get it right

Never stop, Luther take ya to the tpo

Do it till we get it

Take the time and get it right



[Precise]

How y'all feeling tonight

Better hold on tight

Throw your hands in the air If you're getting it right

What we got you'll like

But it's not quite the regular jam

Luther and Precise

How y'all feeling tonight

Better hold on tight

Throw your hands in the air if you're getting it right

What we got you'll like

But it's not quite your regular jam

Luther and Precise



[Repeat 2]

DARYL HALL AND JOHN OATES lyrics - Crime Pays



(Music: Hall; Lyrics: Hall/Oates/S. Allen)



I know you know all the pros and cons

They help you get to everything you want

Greasing policemen bending all the rules

Make them an offer that they can't refuse

One crime baby I can't forgive

The kind that hurts where I live

I'm a nice guy I try to wait and see

If you'll get caught or go free



You stole my heart and left me blue

It look like crime pays for you

You do it and you get away

It seem like crime pays

Crime pays



Beat the heat but you couldn't pay me off

You're staying cool no matter what it costs

You get caught you'll never do the time

I have to say you've got a way with one crime baby I can't forgive

The kind that hurts where I live

It's all too clear but I still don't see

Why all the guilty go free



You stole my heart and left me blue

It look like crime pays for you

You do it and you get away

It seems like crime pays

Crime pays

It seems like crime pays

Crime pays



Catch a thief and let her go

You won't get back the love she stole

Shake her down but she don't mind

'Cause she commit the perfect crime OK, OK

You know I know you're a pro and con artiste

Oh baby you're a false alarm

Why do I try to play it by the rules

I was the victim but I'm not a fool



You stole my heart and left me blue

It looks like crime pays for you

You do it and you get away

It seems like crime pays

WEIRD AL YANKOVIC lyrics - Taco Grande



Taco... grande. Taco... grande



Yo quiero chimichangas y chile colorado

Yo tengo el dinero para un steak picado

Las flautas y tamales, siempre muy bueno

Y el chile relleno



You see, I just gotta have a tostada, carne asada

That's right, I want the whole enchilada

My only addiction has to do with a flour tortilla

I need a quesadilla



I love to stuff my face with tacos al carbуn

With my friends, or when I'm all alone

Yo tengo mucho hambre y ahora lo quiero

Un burrito ranchero



So give me something spicy and hot, now

Break out the menu, what you got, now?

Oh, would you tell the waiter I'd like to have sour cream on the side

You better make sure the beans are refried



Taco... grande. Taco... grande



Well, there's not a taco big enough for a man like me

That's why I order two or three

Let me give you a tip, just try a nacho chip

It's really good with bean dip



I eat uno, dos, tres, quarto burritos

Pretty soon I can't fit in my Speedos

Well, I hope they feed us lots of chicken fajitas

And a pitcher of margaritas



Well, the combination plates all come with beans and rice

The taquitos here are very nice

Now I'm down on my knees, we need some extra tomatoes and cheese

And could you make that separate checks, please?



Taco... grande. Taco... grande



"Buenos noches, senor.

bienvenido a el burritos casa de salsa.

tenemos muchos platos muy sabrosos si puedo

recomendar el ardiente pollo al infierno muy delicioso.

sus ojos se quemaran, su estomago estara en fuego,

se quedaran en el baсo por una semana,

entiendes lo que digo gringo estupido tonto?"

Well, the food is coming, I can hardly wait

Now watch your fingers, careful hot plate!

What you think you're doing with my chile con queso?

Well, if you want some, just say so



Oh boy, pico de gallo

They sure don't make it like this in Ohio

No gracias, yo quiero jalepeсos, nada mбs

You can toss away the hot sauce



?Donde estan los nachos? Holy frijole!

You better get me a bowl of guacamole

Y Uusted, Eugene? Why's your face turning green?

Don't you like pinto beans?



You want some more cinnamon crispas?

If you don't, hasta la vista

Just take the rest home in a doggie bag if you wanna

You can finish it maсana



Well, it's been a pleasure, I can't eat no more

Seсor, la cuenta, por favor

If you ain't tried real Mexican cooking, well, you oughta

Just don't drink the water


DEEP PURPLE lyrics - King Of Dreams



(Blackmore/Glover/Turner)



It doesn't matter if I'm right or wrong

It really doesn't mean a thing

It doesn't matter if you like my song

As long as you can hear me sing

'Cause I'm the thorn in every little girl's rose

You know I cut but never bleed

A shadow in the night, pure delight

I can satisfy your every need



I'm a real smooth dancer, I'm fantasy man

Master of illusion, magic touch in my hand

All the stages are empty when I steal the scenes

A beggar of love, second hand hero...King of Dreams



Don't make a difference what you got

It doesn't matter what you lose

Don't make a difference if you like it or not

Baby I'm gonna change your attitude

'Cause all around me there is mystery and wonder

Now can't you see it in my eyes

I'll crack the sky, make you feel the thunder

You'll never see through my disguise



I'm a real smooth dancer, I'm fantasy man

Master of illusion, with my sleight of hand

All the stages are empty when I steal the scenes

A beggar for love, second hand hero... King of Dreams



All around, all around

Emotional squeeze through again and again

I know how to please you, your mind is on the bend

Can't you feel the power, surrender in my arms

Beyond the witching hour we're travelling on and on



I'm a real smooth dancer, I'm fantasy man

Master of illusion, magic touch in my hand

The stages are empty when I steal the scenes

A beggar of love, second hand hero... King of Dreams



I'm a real smooth dancer, fantasy man

Master of illusion, sleight of hand

The stages are empty when I steal the scenes

A beggar for love... King of Dreams


STEELY DAN lyrics - Hey Nineteen



Way back when

In Sixty-seven

I was the dandy

Of Gamma Chi

Sweet things from Boston

So young and willing

Moved down to Scarsdale

Where the hell am I

Hey Nineteen

No we can't dance together

No we can't talk at all

Please take me along

When you slide on down



Hey Nineteen

That's 'Retha Franklin

She don't remember

The Queen of Soul

It's hard times befallen

The sole survivors

She thinks I'm crazy

But I'm just growing old



Hey Nineteen

No we got nothing in common

No we can't talk at all

Please take me along

When you slide on down



The Cuervo Gold

The fine Colombian

Make tonight a wonderful thing



No we can't dance together

No we can't talk at all

JOHN LENNON lyrics - Crippled Inside



you can shine you're shoes

and wear a suit

you can comb your hair

and look quite cute

you can hide your face

behind a smile

one thing you can't hide

is when you're crippled inside

you wear a mask

and paint your face

you can call yourself

the human race

you can wear a collar

and a tie

but the one thing you

can't hide is when you're

crippled inside

well now you know that your

cat has nine lives babe

nine loves to itself

but you only got one

and a dog life ain't no fun

mamma take a look outside.

you can go to church

and sing a hymn

judge me by the color

of my skin

you can live a lie until you die

one thing you can't hide

is when you're crippled inside.


PULP lyrics - Razzmatazz



The trouble with your brother,

He's always sleeping with your mother.

And I know that your sister missed her time again this month.

Am I talking too fast or are you just playing dumb?

If you want I can write it down.

It should matter to you,

Cos aren't you the one,

With your razzmatazz and the nights on the town?



Oh you knew it, and you blew it didn't you babe?

I was lying when I asked you to stay.

Now no-one's gonna care,

If you don't call them when you said.

And he's not coming round tonight to try and talk you into bed.

And all those stupid little things,

They ain't working,

No they ain't working any more.



You started getting fatter,

Three weeks after I left you.

And now you're going with some kid who looks like some bad comedian.

Are you gonna go out?

Or are you sitting at home eating boxes of Milk Tray?

Watch TV on your own, aren't you the one,

With your razzmatazz and your nights on the town?



And your father wants to help you doesn't he babe?

But your mother wants to put you away.

Now no-one's gonna care,

If you don't call them when you said.

And he's not coming round tonight to try and talk you into bed.

And all those stupid little things,

They ain't working,

No they ain't working any more.



Oh well I saw you at the doctor's,

Waiting for a test.

You tried to look like some kind of heiress,

But your face is such a mess.

And now you're going to a party,

And you're leaving on your own.

Well, I'm sorry, but didn't you say,

That things go better with a little bit of razzamatazz?



And now no-one's gonna care,

If you don't call them when you said.

And he's not coming round tonight to try and talk you into bed.

Now it's half past ten in the evening,

And you wish that you were dead,

Cos all those stupid little things,

They ain't working,

No they ain't working any more.


ROSANNE CASH lyrics - House On The Lake



(Cash, Leventhal)



Well, I miss the sounds of Tennessee

And the smell of heavy rain

The roses in the garden

Laugh before the pain



But I hear his voice close in my ear

I see her smile and wave

I blink and while my eyes are closed

They both have gone away



Blue bare room, the wood and nails

There's nothing left to take

But love and years are not for sale

In our old house on the lake



Well, I'm going down to New Orleans

'Cause we both are sinking fast

And I'll stare into the Bourbon moon

We'll see how long we last



But I hear his voice

I follow down the velvet undertow

Back to the place where I was born

Back to my southern home



Blue bare room, the wood and nails

There's nothing left to take

But love and years are not for sale

In our old house on the lake



In our old house on the lake

In our old house


CHICAGO lyrics - Bigger Than Elvis



Come, let's talk just you & me

For once just let me be.

The little boy you used to know.

Relive that summer's bliss.

Cause they came no more like this.

Those were the days,

The days when love was still in style.



All I ever dreamed I'd be

Is what you are to me.

Bigger than Elvis.

And for all the missing years,

A memory reappears.

Bigger than Elvis.



I saw you on tv.

The king, you were to me.

Could you feel me watching you?

At times my heart got mad,

Only heros are allowed

To run free, that they could come back inside of me.



All I ever dreamed I'd be,

Is what you are to me.

Bigger than Elvis.

And for all the missing years,

A memory reappears.

Bigger than Elvis.



We know the sadness of goodbyes

Must be the one that's bringing tears to your child's eyes.



Oh, from now on I'll walk with you

Making music like you do.

Would you believe I always knew?



You were never hard to take

In some mysterious way

Bigger than Elvis

And for all the missing years

Your memory reappears

Bigger than Elvis.



Now I've found the missing years,

Forgotten all my tears.

I've found the missing years.


JACKSON BROWNE lyrics - All Good Things



All good things got to come to an end

The thrills have to fade

Before they come 'round again

The bills will be paid

And the pleasure will mend

All good things got to come to an end



God I wish I was home

Laying 'round with my friends

The call of the wild

Caution thrown to the wind

The fall of the child

Where the longing begins

All good things got to come to an end



Like a river flows

Rolling 'till it ends in the sea

Our pleasure grows

Rolling 'till it ends in you and me



Now as the dark gathers into the sky

And legions of might go thundering by

Regions of light grow dim and then die

And we with our wings

Wait for morning to fly



Like a river flows

Rolling 'till it ends in the sea

Our pleasure grows

Rolling 'till it ends in you and me

Rolling 'till it ends in you and me

Here where the angels

Have appeared and are gone

Your face like an ember

Glows in the dawn

But I want you to remember

All wild deeds live on

All good times, all good friends



All good things got to come to an end

The thrills have to fade

Before they come 'round again

The bills will be paid

And the pleasure will mend

All good things got to come to an end



All good times, all good friends

All good things got to come to an end

LEONARD COHEN lyrics - Ballad Of The Absent Mare



Say a prayer for the cowboy

His mare's run away

And he'll walk til he finds her

His darling, his stray

but the river's in flood

and the roads are awash

and the bridges break up

in the panic of loss.

And there's nothing to follow

There's nowhere to go

She's gone like the summer

gone like the snow

And the crickets are breaking

his heart with their song

as the day caves in

and the night is all wrong



Did he dream, was it she

who went galloping past

and bent down the fern

broke open the grass

and printed the mud with

the iron and the gold

that he nailed to her feet

when he was the lord



And although she goes grazing

a minute away

he tracks her all night

he tracks her all day

Oh blind to her presence

except to compare

his injury here

with her punishment there



Then at home on a branch

in the highest tree

a songbird sings out

so suddenly

Ah the sun is warm

and the soft winds ride

on the willow trees

by the river side



Oh the world is sweet

the world is wide

and she's there where

the light and the darkness divide

and the steam's coming off her

she's huge and she's shy

and she steps on the moon

when she paws at the sky



And she comes to his hand

but she's not really tame

She longs to be lost

he longs for the same

and she'll bolt and she'll plunge

through the first open pass

to roll and to feed

in the sweet mountain grass



Or she'll make a break

for the high plateau

where there's nothing above

and there's nothing below

and it's time for the burden

it's time for the whip

Will she walk through the flame

Can he shoot from the hip



So he binds himself

to the galloping mare

and she binds herself

to the rider there

and there is no space

but there's left and right

and there is no time

but there's day and night



And he leans on her neck

and he whispers low

"Whither thou goest

I will go"

And they turn as one

and they head for the plain

No need for the whip

Ah, no need for the rein



Now the clasp of this union

who fastens it tight?

Who snaps it asunder

the very next night

Some say the rider

Some say the mare

Or that love's like the smoke

beyond all repair



But my darling says

"Leonard, just let it go by

That old silhouette

on the great western sky"

So I pick out a tune

and they move right along

and they're gone like the smoke

and they're gone like this song


YELLO lyrics - Squeeze Please



Sometimes I get into deep trouble

Illusions burst like a big bang bubble

Squeeze please knocking about

Nonsense that's the way out



Squeeze please

Squeeze please



I never wanna ever talk about the big boom bang

Can't you understand is this another the band

The big bang bean what you mean

The big bang bay what do you say



Squeeze please knocking about

Nonsense that's the way out



Squeeze please knocking about

Nonsense that's the way out



Squeeze please

Squeeze please



I never wanna ever talk about the big boom bang

Can't you understand is this another the band

The big bang bean what you mean

The big bang bay what do you say



Squeeze please knocking about

Nonsense that's the way out


TALKING HEADS lyrics - I Get Wild / Wild Gravity



Fooled around enough with numbers

Let's not be ourselves today

Is it just my imagination

Is it just someone's fave

Pleasantly out of proportion

It's hard to hold on to the ground

Now I didn't come to run

And this is everything

And gravity lets you down



I get wild, wizing up

I just can't let go

I get wild when I get ready

I can hardly talk

Living lights

Special lights

Yellow turns blue

I get wild It's automatic

I can hardly move



Go ahead and pull the curtains

Check to see if I'm still here

Let me lose my perspective

Something worth waiting for

Somewhere in South Carolina

And gravity don't mean a thing

And all around the world

Each and ev'ryone

Playing with a heart of steel



I get up climbing out

How did I get home?

I'll survive the situation

Somebody shut the door

Beautiful

Beautiful

Climbing up the wall

I get by on automatic

No surprise at all



No one here can recognize you

Here is ev'rything that you like

Feelings without explanations

Somethings are hard to describe

The sound of a cigarette burning

A place there where ev'rything spins

And the sounds inside your mind

Is playing all the time

Playing with a heart of steel



I get wild, wizing up

I just can't let go

I get wild when I get ready

I can hardly talk

Red 'n' white black to gold

Yellow turns blue

I get wild It's automatic

I can hardly move



I get up pushing up

How did I get home?

I'll survive the situation

Somebody shut the door

Shut the door

Shut the door

Climbing up the wall

I get by on automatic

No surprise at all


THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS lyrics - Broke In Two



You said something before you left

Something I was not to forget



Then

Is when i maybe should have wrote it down

But when I looked around to find a pen

And then I tried to think of what you said



We broke in two

Busted through

Broke in two



I would go back to the top of the day from scratch

If I thought that this thing could be fixed

Though sadly I'd do exactly the same thing as when



We broke in two

Busted through

Broke in two



You said "I'm gonna run you down"

I heard "I'm an orangutan"



Then

Is when i maybe should have wrote it down

But when I looked around to find a pen

And then I tried to think of what you said



We broke in two

Busted through

Broke in two



I would go back to the top of the day from scratch

If I thought that this thing could be fixed

Though sadly I'd do exactly the same thing as when



We broke in two

Busted through

Broke in two

I'm an orang-utan


ROXETTE lyrics - I Love The Sound Of Crashing Guitars



Mao Mao Mao...



I love the sound of smashing guitars

I love the sound of crashing guitars

Red guitars against the wall

Big guitars can turn so small

I love the sound of crashing guitars

Show it!



The 6-string kick inside

The 6-string kick inside

The 6-string kick inside.



I love the sound of breaking guitars

I love the sound of crashing guitars

Hey you long haired vintage Jesus

Break the guitar into 1000 pieces

I love the sound of crashing guitars

Don't you?



The 6-string kick inside

The 6-string kick inside.



Don't you love the sound of crashing guitars?

Don't you love the sound of crashing electric guitars?

Don't you love that sound, drivin' in your car

Don't you love the sound of crashing electric guitars?

Don't you?

Don't you?



I love the touch of watching the stars

I love the sound of trashing guitars

Custom made, Townshend's ace

Smash the axe and break the case

I love the sound of crashing guitars

Crashing and crashing!



The 6-string kick inside

The 6-string kick inside.



I love the sound of crashing guitars

Mao Mao Mao...


GENTLE GIANT lyrics - Wreck



The ship's rising up from the sea to the sky heyeheh Hold on

Just one sorry scream and a desperate cry heyeheh Hold on

Their lives pass before them before they die heyeheh --



The sea yawns around like a boiling hell heyeheh hold on

And souls disappear with the toll of that bell heyeheh hold on

The arms of the sea they are dragging them down heyeheh hold on

And sorrows and sins they are lost as they drown heyeheh --



How strange when you think that the sea was their way;

And a meaningless death is the price they pay

For their living was made from the deep

To their people in comfort and keep

Keep all their people and places there

Never to be seen again, never to be loved and their last embrace --

And the kiss has a salt bitter taste



Now all that remains is the deep cruel sea heyeheh hold on

And wreckage of things that used to be heyeheh hold on

No stone marks the place of that watery grave heyeheh hold on

Together they die both the weak and the brave heyeheh hold on



The arms of the sea.... etc.

GEORGE BENSON lyrics - Summer Breeze



See the curtains hanging in the window

In the evening on a Friday night

A little light shining through the window

Let me know everything is alright, sing this song



Summer breeze makes me feel fine

Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind

Hear me sing, summer breeze makes me feel fine

Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind



See the paper lying on the sidewalk

A little music from the house next door

So I walk on up to the doorstep

Through the screen and across the floor



Summer breeze makes me feel fine

Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind

Sing it, summer breeze makes me feel fine

Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind, yeah



When I come home from a hard day's work

And you're waitin' there not a care in the world



See the smile a waitin' in the kitchen

Food cooking and the plates for two

Feel the arms that reach out to hold me

In the evenin' when the day is through



Summer breeze makes me feel fine

Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind

Summer breeze makes me feel fine

Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind



Here we go, summer breeze makes me feel fine

Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind

Come on, summer breeze makes me feel fine

Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind


THE KINKS lyrics - Just Can't Go To Sleep



Every night I just can't go sleep

Every night I have to count sheep

Every night I just can't go sleep, uh huh

Without you, without you

I just can't go to sleep



Every night I feel so lonely

Longing for you, one and only

Every night I just can't go sleep, uh huh

Without you, without you

I just can't go to sleep

(No, no, no, no, no)

Yeah, I just can't go to sleep, now

(No, no, no, no, no)

Yeah, I just can't go to sleep

(No, no, no, no, no)

Yeah, without you, without you

I just can't go to sleep

To sleep



Every day you look my way,

And I want to hold you

But when nighttime comes

You're not around for me to love



Every night I just can't go sleep

Every night I have to count sheep

Every night I just can't go sleep, uh huh

Without you, without you

I just can't go to sleep

(No, no, no, no, no)

Yeah, I just can't go to sleep, now

(No, no, no, no, no)

Oh, I just can't go to sleep

(No, no, no, no, no)


LOS LOBOS lyrics - Rio De Tenampa



(David Hidalgo/Louie Perez)



Habla me Rio de Tenampa

Canta me canciones de valor

En este rincon del cielo

Dejo mi carino y amor

VAN MORRISON lyrics - Stranded



(Van Morrison)



I'm stranded at the edge of the world

It's a world I don't know

Got no where to go

Feels like I'm stranded



And I'm stranded between that ol' devil and the deep blue sea

And nobody's gonna tell me, tell me what, what time it is



Everyday, everyday, it's hustle, hustle time, hustle time

Everyday and every way, one more, one more mountain to climb



It's leaving me stranded

In my own little island

With my eyes open wide

But I'm feeling stranded



Every, every, everyday, it's hustle time

Every way, one more mountain to climb



I'm stranded between the devil and the deep blue sea

There ain't no where else to be

'Cept right here and I'm stranded


DAVID BOWIE lyrics - It Ain't Easy



When you climb to the top of the mountain

Look out over the sea

Think about the places perhaps, where a young man could be

Then you jump back down to the rooftops

Look out over the town

Think about all of the strange things circulating round



[CHORUS]

It ain't easy, it ain't easy

It ain't easy to get to heaven when you're going down



Well all the people have got their problems

That ain't nothing new

With the help of the good Lord

We can all pull on through

We can all pull on through

Get there in the end

Sometimes it'll take you right up and sometimes down again



[CHORUS]



Satisfaction, satisfaction

Keep me satisfied

I've got the love of a Hoochie Koochie woman

She calling from inside

She's a-calling from inside

Trying to get to you

All the woman really wants you can give her something

too



[CHORUS (x2)]


JAMES TAYLOR lyrics - Belfast To Boston (God's Rifle)



(God's Rifle)



There are rifles buried in the countryside for the rising of the moon,

may they lie there long forgotten till they rust away into the ground.

Who will bend this ancient hatred, will the killing to an end?

Who will swallow long injustice, take the devil for a country man?

Who will say "this far no further, oh lord, if I die today?"



Send no weapons no more money. Send no vengeance across the seas,

just the blessing of forgiveness for my new countryman and me.



Missing brothers, martyred fellows, silent children in the ground.

Could we but hear them could they not tell us "Time to lay God's rifle down."

Who will say, "this far, no further," oh Lord, if I die today?

SEALS & CROFTS lyrics - Diamond Girl



(Lyrics by James Seals; music by James Seals & Dash Crofts, 1973)



Diamond Girl, you sure do shine. Glad I found you, glad you're mine.

Oh my love, you're like a precious stone, part of earth where heaven has rained on.

Makes no difference where you are. Day or nighttime, you're like a shinin' star.

And how could I shine without you, when it's about you that I am?



Diamond Girl, roamin' wild. Such a rare thing, radiant child.

I could never find, another one like you. Part of me is deep down inside you.

Can't you feel the whole world a-turin'. We are real, and we are a-burnin'.

Diamond Girl, now that I've found you, it's about you that I am.



Diamond Girl, you sure do shine. Diamond Girl, you sure do shine.

Diamond Girl, you sure do shine. Diamond Girl, you sure do shine.


CHAKA KHAN lyrics - Hey Big Spender



The minute you walked in the joint,

I could see you were a man of distinction,

A real big spender,

Good looking, so refined.

Say, wouldn't you like to know

What's going on in my mind?

So, let me get right to the point,

I don't pop my cork for ev'ry guy I see.

Hey, big spender, spend...

A little time with... me... me... me!

Do you wanna have fun?

How's about a few laughs?

I can show you a... good time...

Do you wanna have fun... fun... fun?

How's about a few laughs

Laughs laughs

(I can show you a good time)

(Good time)

(Good time)

(Good time)



What did you say you are?

How's about a...

I could give you some...

Are you ready for...

How would you like a...

Let me show you a... (good time)

Hey, big spender...

Hey, big spender...

The minute you walked in the joint,

I could see you were a man of distinction,

A real big spender.

Good looking, so refined.

Say wouldn't you like to know

What's going on in my mind?

So, let me get right to the point,

I don't pop my cork for every guy I see.

Hey, big spender,

Hey, big spender!

Hey, big spender!

Spend a little time with me!

MODERN TALKING lyrics - Blackbird



Just tomorrow, There's another day

Another way in your life

It's not easy, oh it's not easy to say

If our dreams will survive

I know I can't ignore it

It's the end of our love

I know the time will show it

To my heart



Blackbird don't fly away (fly away)

See you in heaven

Miss you more and more each day (more each day)

It's five to seven

Spread your wings, don't fly away

Blackbird don't fly away (fly away)

Blackbird don't fly away

Blackbird don't fly away



Remember when you said to me

I'm blind to see our love

I remember you were my destiny

Tell me why you break my heart

Yesterday is gone forever

Every day is a new day

I swear I'll love you forever

And I say



Blackbird don't fly away (fly away)

See you in heaven

Miss you more and more each day (more each day)

It's five to seven

Spread your wings, don't fly away

Blackbird don't fly away (fly away)

Blackbird don't fly away

Blackbird don't fly away(fly away - fly away - fly away)



Don't fly away (away)


PHIL COLLINS lyrics - You'll Be In My Heart (Phil Version)



Come stop your crying

It will be all right

Just take my hand Hold it tight

I will protect you

from all around you

I will be here

Don't you cry

For one so small,

you seem so strong

My arms will hold you,

keep you safe and warm

This bond between us

Can't be broken

I will be here

Don't you cry

'Cause you'll be in my heart

Yes, you'll be in my heart

From this day on

Now and forever more

You'll be in my heart

No matter what they say

You'll be here in my heart, always

Why can't they understand

the way we feel

They just don't trust

what they can't explain

I know we're different but,

deep inside us

We're not that different at all

And you'll be in my heart

Yes, you'll be in my heart

From this day on

Now and forever more

Don't listen to them

'Cause what do they know

We need each other,

to have, to hold

They'll see in time

I know

When destiny calls you

You must be strong

I may not be with you

But you've got to hold on

They'll see in time

I know

We'll show them together

'Cause you'll be in my heart

Yes, you'll be in my heart

From this day on,

Now and forever more

Oh, you'll be in my heart

No matter what they say

You'll be in my heart, always

Always


THE HOLLIES lyrics - Blowin' In The Wind



(Dylan)



How many roads must a man walk down

Before you call him a man

How many seas must the white dove sail

Before she can sleep in the sand



[Chorus:]

The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind

The answer is blowing in the wind



Yes, and how many times must a man look up

Before he can see the sky

Yes, and how many ears must one man have

Before he can hear people cry



[Chorus]



Well, how many years can a mountain exist

Before it is washed to the sea

And how many years can some people exist

Before they're allowed to be free



[Chorus]


T-BONE WALKER lyrics - T-Bone Shuffle



(Aaron Thibeaux "T-Bone" Walker)



Let your hair down baby, 'n' let's have a natural ball

Let your hair down baby, 'n' let's have a natural ball

'Cause when you're not happy, it ain't no fun at all



You can't take it with you, that's one thing for sure

You can't take it with you baby, that's one thing for sure

There's nothing wrong with you baby, that a good T-Bone shuffle can't cure



Have fun while you can, fate's an awful thing

Have fun while you can, fate's an awful thing

You can't tell what might happen, that's why I love to sing

CELINE DION lyrics - Regarde-Moi



C'est comme une machine a fond de train

Une locomotive qui foncerait sans fin



It's like a machine at full power



A locomotive charging without end

Des coups des secousses, je m'habitue pas

Qui conduit, qui pousse ce train, qui sait ou il va?



Hits shakes, I'm not getting used to



Who's driving, who's pushing this train, who knows where it goes

J'ai mal a la tete, j'ai mal au coeur

Faites que l'on arrete, appelez-moi le controleur



I have a headache, I have a heartache



Please make it stop, call me the ticket inspector

Je veux qu'on m'explique, je veux quelqu'un

En cas de panique c'est ecrit la,

Oh, tirez sur le frein a main



I want they explain to me, I want someone



In case of panic, it's written there



Oh, pull the hand brake

Et toi qu'est-ce que tu fous la,

Sur ton sofa, a cote d'moi



And you what are you doing here,



On your sofa, at my side

Tu vois pas que j'creve [1], que j'suis videe

Que j'ai plus de seve, que je vais lacher



Don't you see I'm dying, I'm exhausted



I'm out of sap, I won't hold

Regarde-moi, dis-moi les mots tendres

Ces mots tout bas,

Fais-moi redescendre loin de tout loin de tout ca

Je veux, je commande, regarde-moi



Look at me, tell me the soft words



These words wispered



Let me get off far away far away of all this



I want, I order, look at me

J'ai besoin de tes yeux,

C'est le miroir ou j'existe sans eux

Je ne me vois pas



I need your eyes



It's the mirror where I exist without them



I don't see myself

Mais tout nous aspire, petits ecrans

Faut montrer le pire ailleurs

Pour accepter nos neants



Everything inhales us, small screens



Must show the worst elsewhere



To accept our nothings

Si t'y prends pas garde, avec le temps

Tu te fous des gares et jamais plus tu ne redescends



If you don't take care, with the time



You don't care about stations and you never get off

Les tempes qui cognent, ca me reprend

Ou tu te raisonnes ou tu prends des medicaments



Temples hitting, it takes me again



Or you reasoned yourself or you take medication

Mais je voudrais savoir, une fois seulement



But I wanna know, one time only

La fin de l'histoire et pourquoi, ou et comment



The end of the story and why, where and how

Qui sont les bons et les mechants?



Who are the good ones and the bad ones

[1 - j'creve: Contraction of "je creve", I die]


CULTURE CLUB lyrics - It's A Miracle



Guns that cross the street

You never know who you might meet

Who's in disguise

Ooh as you blow a storm

There's no one there

to keep you warm

It's no surprise

There's something in my eyes

It's a miracle

It's a miracle

It's a miracle

And dreams are made of emotion

Dance with the counterfeit

The plastic smiles and micro heat

I'll meet you there

Run to the edge of town

Where Hollywood lay its footprints down

Monroe was there

but do you really care

It's a miracle

It's a miracle

It's a miracle

And dreams are made of emotion

Cry it's a miracle

Cry it's a miracle


TALKING HEADS lyrics - The Book I Read



I'm writing 'bout the

Book I read

I have to sing about the

Book I read

I'm embarassed to admit it hit the soft spot in my heart

When I found out you wrote the

Book I read so



Take my shoulders as they touch your arms I've

Got little cold chills but I feel alright The

Book I Read was in your eyes oh oh



Oh...I'm living in the future.

I feel wonderful.

I'm tipping over backwards

I'm so ambitious

I'm looking back I'm

Running a race and you're the book I read so



Feel my fingers as they

touch your arms

I'm spinning around but I feel alright

The book I read was in your eyes



Na na na na...na na na na na na na

Na na na na...na na na na na na na

Na na na na na...na na na na na na na

Na na na na...na na na na na na na

Na na na na...na na na na na na na

Na na na na...na na na na na na na

Na na na na...oh oh oh oh oh oh oh



Oooooh...I'm living in the future

I feel wonderful

I'm tipping over backwards

I'm so ambitious

I'm looking back I'm

Running a race and you're the books I read so



Feel my fingers as they touch you arms I'm

Spinning around and I feel alright

The book I read was in your eyes



Na na na na na...na na na na na na na

Na na na na...na na na na na na na na

Na na na na...na na na na na na na na

Na na na na...na na na na na na na na

Na na na na...na na na na na na na na

Na na na na...na na na na na na na na

Na na na na...oh oh oh oh oh oh oooh..


CHAKA KHAN lyrics - Make It Last



(Chris Jasper and Margie Jasper)



Come on and stay with me for a little while

Hey can't we spend some time together

You look so good to me and I like your style

Come on let's make it last forever



I'm not an ordinary woman

I just want to love you with all my might

You better believe that I'm a good one

And I wanna guarantee I'll treat you right



Come on and stay with me for a little while

Come on and spend some time together

Whatever it takes I'm gonna make you smile

Hey can't we make it last forever



I know that love's a gamble

Puttin' all my lovin' on the line

There ain't a man that I can't handle

Give me your love, and I'll give you mine

TOO $HORT (TOO SHORT) lyrics - Short Dog's In The House



"Moving up!" "East Oakland, yeah that's right" [4x]



Oakland, California, West Coast life

You either play the game or you smoke the pipe

I became a rapper at the age 14

No gold ropes, no diamond rings

But look at me now, 10 years later

Ask any MC if I rap greater

See I'm known in Fresno, even the big O

From San Diego to Sacramento

They'll tell you yes, wherever you go

And I bet my life won't one say no

Ain't nothing like a Too $hort fan

I ain't tripping, you can play it again

Don't fight the feeling, life is me

I rock shows in Nashville, Tennessee

It wasn't "Hee Haw," so don't laugh

At the good ol' boys getting autographs

In Cinncinatti, I know you heard

I got fined for the "Cusswords"

It's true, baby, so so unique

Might slap your man, or just thump your freak

I come to your town, I'm not under

I want your name and your telephone number

You think I'm faking, but I'll call

We only got one night to do it all

I know baby it's such a pity

Tomorrow night, we hit another city

Cold macking in the game is all we do

Me and the boys called "The Dangerous Crew"

I used to be local til I signed with Jive

Too $hort then went nationwide

I went to Georgia with the Too $hort sound

I went down like Bobby Brown

I said a rap and they took me to jail

Pulled out my bank, and made bail

This is my story, it could not wait

It all started out in the Golden State

California, where I was born and raised

I used to play the drum in my younger days

I just hit that beat any way I can

Smooth high-stepping in the marching band

I turned in my drum and I started to rap

Now beats I make, make my bank so fat

It's Too $hort, on the mic tonight

Pennsylvania, can you see the light?

From Chicago, to Indiana

From Mississippi, to Alabama

Louisiana, even Texas

Females, call me sexist

But don't they love it, you know me

Freak nasty in a room trying to blow me

Like engine, engine, number 9

Homies run a train, standing in line

If that train jumps off the track

Then my brother you will catch the clap

From Colorado, to Arizona

All the way back home to California

In Chatanooga, they know the tip

Short Dog in the house, I'm that flip

Getting clip, or playing pool

I can't help it I'm so damn cool

Call me "Dog" or leave me alone

I'm riding in a Caddilac Fleetwood Chrome

With Too Clean, behind the wheel

I'm riding shotgun, rapping for real

Total boss in the back, give me superside

They like to roll 'em fat cause you know we ride

To the beat y'all, and it don't stop

It goes on cause I don't stop rapping

Now you know, nothing but the Dog in me

You make love to me and I still act stingy

Oh should I pay you? You must be tripping

I didn't buy you and I sure ain't renting

I said "I love you" cause you gave me head

I didn't love you when we got out the bed

If I could love you, you know I would

But what you giving, ain't all that good

A little southern hospitality

You'd better try to get away from me

I love money, and I just can't fake it

I go to Magic City and the girls dance naked

I'm somewhat of a hero by the way I rap

But I'm living like an Oaktown mack

I'm in the house y'all, I'm like? peeser? y'all

Rat heads get nothing but cheese, y'all

Or get slapped, put up your dukes

I kick you in your ass with my Nike boots

Some rappers try to be just like Too $hort

Can hang with the Dog, you'd better stay on the porch

In Minnesota, Virginia Beach

Wisconson, I got freaks

Atlanta, Little Rock

Louisville, it don't stop

Kansas City, Missouri

I rock the house in East St. Louis

Detroit, it's like Oakland

It's a black thing, and I'm a black man

To all my brothers in the U. S.A.

Too $hort baby don't even play

Woofers in the trunk, blasting the beat

I cross the bridge and hit 3rd street

Years ago, I rocked that joint

I say what's up to my homies from Hunter's Point

We go a long way back, it's always been like that

In the days that Short Dog was so young at the rap

I'm in the house!



"Moving up!" "East Oakland, yeah that's right" [4x]


B. B. KING lyrics - Everyday I Have The Blues



(Peter Chatman a. k.a. Memphis Slim)



Everyday, everyday I have the blues

Ooh everyday, everyday I have the blues

When you see me worryin' baby, yeah, it's you I hate to lose



Whoa, nobody loves me, nobody seems to care

Whoa, nobody loves me, nobody seems to care

Well worries and trouble darling, babe you know I've had my share



Everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday,

Everyday, everyday I have the blues

When you see me worryin' baby, yeah, it's you I hate to lose



Whoa nobody loves me, nobody seems to care

Whoa nobody loves me, nobody seems to care

Well worries and trouble darling, babe you know I've had my share


HELLOWEEN lyrics - Heaven Tells No Lies



(Grosskopf)



I could go a step ahead and try

Harder than before but I deny

Always when I try a step

Something's gonna hold me back

Back to where I started

I just bump my head instead

Better leave me here all on my own

Better leave me or become my clone

Everyone who grabbed my hand

Fell into the same wasteland

Don't try to convince me with your optimistic smile



I'd need a shotgun in my dreams tonight

To terminate my rotten side

Just need one shot into the center of my hate

To light the darkness and run free

From that old spell



I don't know if hell or paradise

Belong together or if Heaven Tells No Lies

You role the dice

You know the price is higher than you can afford

Beware of what you might see

Can you trust your blinded eyes?

I don't know if Heaven Tells No Lies



Black is white and colours turn to grey

What was close is drifting far away

Just now right's already wrong

What turns weak was never strong

Can I kill the daemon without blowing out my mind?



I'd need a shotgun in my dreams tonight

To terminate my rotten side

Just need one shot into the center of my hate

To light the darkness and run free

From that old spell



I don't know if hell or paradise

Belong together or if Heaven Tells No Lies

You role the dice

You know the price is higher than you can afford

Beware of what you might see

Can you trust your blinded eyes?

I don't know if Heaven Tells No Lies



I will return

You have to burn

Abide my vision, you no longer keep me bound

I will be back

I will attack

In my religion I will make you hell hound drown


LOU REED lyrics - Big Sky



Big sky, big sky holding up the sun

big sky, big sky holding up the moon

Big sky holding down the sea

but it can't hold us down anymore



Big sky holding up the stars

big sky holding Venus and Mars

Big sky catch you in a jar

but it can't hold us down anymore



Big sky, big enormous place

big wind blow all over the place

Big storm wrecking havoc and waste

but it can't hold us down anymore



Ooohhh, big goals, big ambitious goals

big talk, talking till I fold

Big wind talking through torrential love

but it can't hold us down anymore



Big sin, big sin, big original sin

paradise where I've never been

Big snake break the skin

but you can't hold us down anymore



A big house holds a family

a big room it holds you and me

It's a big mess and baby makes three

but you can't hold us down anymore



Big news, they're out of their heads

big-big-big news, let's fuck them instead

There's a big joke, did they think we were monks

but they can't hold us down anymore



A big doll, big enormous eyes

big love holds you in a vise

A big man who cut them down to size

they can't hold us down anymore



Big sky, big sky holding up the sun

big sky holding, holding up the moon

Big sky holding down the sea

but it can't hold us down anymore



Oh, big doll, big enormous eyes

big love holds you in a vise

A big man who cut them down to size, ah

they can't hold us down anymore



Oh-oh, big sky

big sky

Big sky

ah, can't hold us down anymore


SONIC YOUTH lyrics - I Love You Golden Blue



Dead boy stares

Strange to meet you

Dead boy cares

So great to see you



Is it time to go

It's a place I know

I can't read your mind

I can't find the time

I can't feel the thrill

I don't have the will



Dead boy dares

Believe in you

Dead boy stares

Afraid that you will see him



Is it time to go

Is it a place I know

I can't read your mind

I can't find the time

I can't feel the thrill

I don't have the will



I love you

A metallic blue

I love you

Golden blue

I miss you

Shine all alone

I miss you



Don't know what to do

I don't glitter like the stars above

I don't glow like neon alone

Don't blush it's just the wind outside

Don't rush to be by my side


SONIC YOUTH lyrics - On The Strip



Every time you look my way

You shine a light in what you say

Every time you look my way

You talk a rhyme called purple haze



Close your eyes and pretend

You're not at all a black friend



A smileless girl on the strip

You really learn just how to be hip

Tell yr stories 'bout your crazy trip

Messing with stars and doing tricks



Close your eyes and pretend

It started all back then



Big glass house on the hill

Doing dope but did you swear

Yesterday was buried last year

While I don't care I thought was clear



Close your eyes and pretend

This is how it should end



Cinderella of the night

Doesn't know her left from right

She so hungry for a bite

Forget your friends for a big night



Don't you know who's keeping score

Who's that barking at your door



Hold tight with fear, a little bit

Hold tight with fear, a little bit

Hold tight with fear, a little bit

Hold tight with fear

That was then, this is now



Hold tight with fear, a little bit

Hold tight with fear, a little bit

Hold tight with fear, a little bit

Hold tight with fear

That was then, this is now



Every time you look my way

Remember a girl who used to say

Hold me tight any way

It's okay it's only play



I will remember in my dawn

What I came for, for a lark

PAUL MCCARTNEY lyrics - Follow Me



(Paul McCartney)



You lift up my spirits, you shine on my soul

Whenever I'm empty, you make me feel whole

I can rely on you, to guide me through, any situation

You hold up a sign that reads, follow me.



You give me direction, you show me the way

You give me a reason, to face every day

I can depend on you, to send me to, any destination

You hold up a sign that reads, follow me, follow me.



Down the track of lonelines, down the path of love

Through the words of heartache, to the end

On the shores of sorrow, where the waves of hope crash in

The perfect place for me to find a friend. ahh yeah yeah yeah, oh



You lead to places, that I've never been

Uncovering secrets, that I've never seen

I can rely on you, to guide me through, any situation

You hold up a sign that reads, follow me, follow me,

Follow me, follow me,

Follow me, follow me


BOB SEGER & THE SILVER BULLET BAND lyrics - The Mountain



The other side of The Mountain

Is where I want to be

It's a far piece over The Mountain

But I hope you'll go with me



I grew up as a dreamer

I found that dreams aren't free

Now I want you here with me



I've lived so long near the mountain

It's almost part of me

I want to have it behind me

It blocks out all I can see

It looms up dark and ancient

Its shadow over me

I want it behind me



All that time, all that precious time

It's gone from you and me

We're givin' up this scene

We're givin' up this scene



Now some will say that we're destined

Some will call it fate

Me I call it obsession

It's just like love and hate

We're prisoners of our passion

We all seem to find too late

I hope it's not too late

We're givin' up this scene

Ah babe we're givin' up this scene



We're gettin' out

We're givin' up this scene

You and me baby

Yeah we're givin' up this scene

SUPERTRAMP lyrics - Goodbye Stranger



It was an early morning yesterday

I was up before the dawn

And I really have enjoyed my stay

But I must be moving on



Like a king without a castle

Like a queen without a throne

I'm an early morning lover

And I must be moving on



Now I believe in what you say

Is the undisputed truth

But I have to have things my own way

To keep me in my youth



Like a ship without an achor

Like a slave without a chain

Just the thought of those sweet ladies

Sends a shiver through my veins



And I will go on shining

Shining like brand new

I'll never look behind me

My troubles will be few



Goodbye strange it's been nice

Hope you find your paradise

Tried to see your point of view

Hope your dreams will all come true

Goodbye Mary, Goodbye Jane

Will we ever meet again

Feel no sorrow, feel no shame

Come tomorrow, feel no pain



Now some they do and some they don't

And some you just can't tell

And some they will and some they won't

With some it's just as well



You can laugh at my behavior

That'll never bother me

Say the devil is my savior

But I don't pay no heed



And I will go on shining

Shining like brand new

I'll never look behind me

My troubles will be few

Goodbye stranger it's been nice etc...


DAVID CROSBY lyrics - Coverage



(Bonnie Hayes)



[Intro. (Electric Piano)]



The TV is talkin' to me

It's positive identification

But maybe I'm mistaken



I talk to my radio

I keep it tuned to the all night show

I'd give my last dime for coverage

But you will not cover me



I got a penchant for the printed page

I got a mention in the Monday news

I was on my last leg when it came through



I talk to my radio

I keep it tuned to the all night show

I'd give my last dime for coverage

But you will not cover me no, no, no, no



Tune it in to the pale blue light

Whispers to me through the night

Better love (Better love) better lovers (Better love)

Cover, cover, cover, cover, cover, cover, cover, cover, coverage



[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]



I would have made it sooner see

But I got caught up in the dream traffic

Blew the demographics



I talk to my radio

I keep it tuned to the all night show

I'd give my last dime for coverage

But you will not cover me

No, you will not cover me

No, you will not cover me



[Ending (Electric Piano and Electric Guitar)]

MOTORHEAD lyrics - Too Good To Be True



I saw some sad times I said

I'd had enough of heartbreak

I told myself that I could never fall again

Then sure as fate she came, I,

Just had to get to her and,

She gave me all her numbers, gave me all her names



Cold and lonely without you

Don't know if I can make it through,

Maybe you'll hear this song

You been gone way too long,

Too good to let it go, too good to be true



We left and we went home,

Unbelievable,

I looked into her eyes, thunder in my heart,

And we were joined forever

Our bodies slick together,

I told her everything, confessions in the dark



Cold and lonely without you

Don't know if I can make it through,

Maybe you'll hear this song

You been gone way too long,

Too good to let it go, too good to be true



She painted inspiration

Onto my fractured soul, I

Was never sure she knew how much she meant to me

She never trusted me, I know she didn't see

The night she left she killed the heart inside of me



Cold and lonely without you

Don't know if I can make it through,

Maybe you'll hear this song

You been gone way too long,

Too good to let it go, too good to be true



Cold and lonely without you

Don't know if I can make it through,

Maybe you'll hear this song

You been gone way too long,

Too good to let it go, too good to be true


CULTURE CLUB lyrics - Confidence Trick



Never meant to hurt you

I don't know why

You come with your

lawyers and your alibi

How can you look me straight in the eye

When you know

The clock on the wall

is singing our song

The love in my heart

is all dead and gone

You know why

You know why

There you go with

your confidence trick

I'm much too wise

you don't fool me a bit

Feeling so low and looking so high

We both know that your truth is a lie

I never really knew you

all these years

You lied to my face while I undressed your fears

Then you set me asail

on an ocean of tears

Said goodbye

The clock on the wall is ticking real slow

There's nothing to say and there's nowhere to go

You know why

You know why

There...

there you go with your confidence trick

I'm much too wise

you don't fool me a bit

No no

Feeling so low and looking so high

We both know that your truth is a lie

It's a lie

Lie

Looking up

to the truth of what you are

Blinding all colours and beauty

And the sparkle in your eye is blinding

The clock on the wall

is singing our song

The love in my heart

is all dead and gone

You know why

You know why

There...

there you go with your confidence trick

I'm much too wise

you don't fool me a bit

Feeling so low

and looking so high

We both know that your truth is a lie

It's a lie

Lie

Your truth is

your truth is a lie

And you never

stopped loving me

Choaking back tears for you

So lovable

And we never go

And we never know

See I'm over

But I'm under

I don't ever wanna come down

To where you are!


MARY CHAPIN CARPENTER lyrics - Other Streets And Other Towns



(Mary Chapin Carpenter)



The whippoorwills were crying in the falling rain

Far away a whistle hailed a passing train

Out in the country summer was almost gone

The fields were turning rusty and the hills were turning brown



Now I think of you when summer stars are on the rise

I think of you with a bottle of wine and lazy eyes

Playing rock and roll songs on an old guitar

Getting drunk and sleeping out in my backyard



Now sometimes I just lie awake and I hear the wind

Blowing through the seasons of my heart again

My dreams are mostly lost and found on other streets, in other towns

But babe, you know, I still look out for you



The cars were all abandoned on the city streets

When snow had left us stranded then we used our feet

And wound up drinking whiskey in a crowded bar

And now when it starts storming I wonder where you are



'Cause you said that I was crazy to believe in you

You said to never trust a man who sings the blues

Well trust and that old guitar was all you'd ever need

If you found a way to love the girl in me



Other boys I knew were just like shiny dimes

Tossed and spent, they came and went a hundred times

Nothing was as rough on me as giving up on you

Now it seems like every bar in town's got boys who sing the blues

CELINE DION lyrics - Forget Me Not



Forget me not

Baby baby

As I rock you gently

Right here in my arms

I promise to always

Be here for you

Keep you safe and warm



Sometimes in the middle of the night

I wake up cryin when I think of how long

It took to find you

And now that I have I won't be movin' on

Nothing can ever separate us

We know where we belong



All I'm asking you

All I'm asking

Before this moments gone



Forget me not

Don't forget what we got

Every day is surely but a dream

I found the sweetest of all things

For all my life

You'll be my light

With every beat that's in your heart

Oh baby please remember to

Forget me not



Time is funny

Time can fly

That's one thing for sure

I'll wake tomorrow

Blink my eyes

See you standin' at that door



And I'll be lookin at you

See the wonder of what love can be

Someday I might have to let you go

And that's just so hard to believe

And if I do you'll know just

How much you mean to me

And all I'll ask of you

All I'll ask you

Before I set you free



Forget me not

Don't forget what we got

Every day is surely but a dream

I found the sweetest of all things

For all my life

You'll be my light

With every beat that's in your heart

Oh baby please remember to

Forget me not



Forget me not

forget me not

forget me



Don't forget me baby

forget me

not

before I set you free yeah



Forget me not

Forget me

Don't forget what we got

what we got

Every day is surely but a dream

I found the sweetest of all things

For ever more

connection

I'll thee adore

With every beat that's in your heart

that's in my heart

Oh baby please remember to

Forget me not



Don't forget what we got

With every beat that's in your heart

Oh baby please remember to

Forget me not



Not

Forget me not

MADNESS lyrics - Promises Promises



(Thompson/Barson)



I'll promise you a gift worth much more if not sold.

Half for you and half for me if I may act so bold.

I'll promise you a home that money cannot buy.

All good homely spirits walking by and by.



I'll promise you a world of making of amend,

And on our anniversary invite you round the bend.



I'll promise you a life it only takes a tick.

All the fruits of life carry you aboard my ship.

I'll promise you a world of making of amend,

And on the anniversary invite you round the bend.



Don't feign to me you're only acting when you care,

So I've decided on decisions that will not strike you very fair.



Let's devise a plan and we'll think about it twice,

Sketching watercolour paints, bury hatchets in the ice.



Don't feign to me you're only acting when you care,

So we decided on decisions that will not strike you very fair.



Let's devise a plan and we'll think about it twice,

Let's make mates merry, bury hatchets in the ice.



Don't feign to me you're only acting when you care,

So we decided on decisions that will not strike you very fair.



Now let's devise a plan and we'll think about it twice,

Let's make mates merry, bury hatchets in the ice.



Don't feign to me you're only acting when you care,

So we decided on decisions that will not strike you very fair.



Now let's devise a plan and we'll think about it twice,

Sketching watercolour paints, bury hatchets in the ice.


TOO $HORT (TOO SHORT) lyrics - What Happened To The Groupies



[Captain Save-A-Hoe:]

Short, Short, whats up man, this Captain man check this out

I know you and B-Legit finna get in here and get down on this song right?

But yall can't be talkin bad about broads, man, you know?

Yall in here talkin bout "suckin this" and "suckin that"

Aww shit, here come B pullin up in his 600 blowin big weed, yall be cool man



[B-Legit:]

I blaze blunts all day get keyed all night

Be the one to take flight if the smoke aint right

I'm tight, nicknamed Ike for the drama

It's baby and her mama, naked in a sauna

Down with the gang cuz them flows be hard

Blue mink, Short, and my St. Brenard

Super bad man all around Hoo-J

Tell me what the fuck happened to the groupies



[Too $hort:]

What happened to the groupies, I thought they was comin through

To do everything we want em to

Supposed to be all good when they get here

Break niggas off, bitch we real playas

Baby in the red said "It's coo'"

She gonna give me some pussy, and some head too

I aint trippin though, these bitches takin too long

I'm bout to call some other hoes on the phone



[B-Legit:]

Tell em I'm a hog nigga, need a triple-X bitch down to stick

Turn tricks switched the dick

Theres hips outside and I'm fo' sho' dat

And the finest ho she know where mo' at

Gotta show that, nigga tuck my jewels

Can't be slippin with a bitch, niggas know that shit

Hit me at the room when the hoes come

It be at 301 we callin for some



[Too $hort:]

Where they at B-Legit where they at? (where they at)

Let these bitches know theres some real playas back

Told her meet me in room 510 on the mattress

If you do it right then I'll be back bitch

Another showdown, in yo' town

Let everybody know you my ho now

I'm feelin way too cool off the gin and juice

I'm bout to fuck my bitch and her friend too (and her friend too)



[Captain Save-A-Hoe:]

Damn, see man yall niggas is trippin man,

Niggas this '98 yall actin like its still '88

Short cussin, and all this bullshit,

Check this out--see baby and them leavin see?

Baby come here, c'mon, baby don't even trip, just kick it for a lil while

You know what I'm sayin? I'll take you to Sizzler to go eat after awhile

I'll make em stop trippin, don't even trip baby its all good



[Too $hort:]

I'm feelin good, everything hooked up right

Before its all over I'ma be in som'n tight

Looked down at my hip to check my pager

Tryin to find me a bitch, fresh off the stage

Nigga aint hungry, fuck the after party

Told a cute groupie "Bitch meet me in the lobby"

You know how we do it, told her bring all her friends

Next weekend we gonna do it all again



[B-Legit:]

I said it out my mouth on the mic real loud

We at the Holiday-Inn, room 510

Bring all the bitches even if they dikes

We hyped, hoes eatin pussy tonight

Seen her in my mug, peepin my game

Lookin like she could take dick in the brain

We all champagne and Cali green

I need a bitch like that on a pimp team



[Too $hort:]

It's after midnight, can't find the right women

Can't be slippin while you're late night pimpin

Way too many niggas got stuck like that

Waited too late then fucked a rat

Wake up in the mornin, mad as hell

With the wrong bitch in the wrong hotel

Shoulda gave up when you first struck out

Now you tryna get the fuck out



[B-Legit:]

Man I was drunk when I went out, blow when I woke up

Didn't get to fuck cuz these hoes is ducks

Niggas like me need the head lay on

From bad ass bitches who prefer red bones

Rock microphones, later count G's

Could always spot a rat chasin niggas with cheese

Please, put it on freeze, it don't suit me

What happened to the muthafuckin groupies? (muthafuckin groupies)



[Captain Save-A-Hoe:]

What happened? nigga they all left, thats what happened

Yall muthafuckas gonna be sittin around all night talkin to each other

Oh thats cool, yall got some muthafuckin Playboy magazines

So I guess thats why yall aint trippin, check this out man

Yall niggas gotta understand one thing man

Bitches don't love to be talked to like that, yall gotta break down

Be cool with a bitch, ya know what I'm sayin?

Show her some caring and shit, understand me?



[B-Legit:]

I remember when the shit first began

I used to fuck the dog shit out my biggest fans

Four in the mornin we hit the waffle spot

Then its back to the telly for some more cock

Shit was non-stop, don't choose too fast

Theres a gang of more bitches with way more ass

Up and down the hall with the bad-ass body

Groupies lookin for the after party



[Too $hort:]

I used to be wild as fuck, get my dick sucked

On the back of the tour bus with two or three sluts

Check into my suite, order somethin to eat

Knockin at my door, its another lil freak

Right up the hall on the same flo'

You could stand in line and run a train on the ho

Top-notch or rat, skinny or fat

B-Legit, where all the groupies at? (groupies at)



[B-Legit:]

In the room with the tricks gettin big faces

But they really wanna know how the dick tastes

I used to get fucked, fall asleep, wake up

Kick the bitch out and bump a freak

But nowadays, you gotta watch your route

Niggas savin hoes need to cut that out

So what they talkin bout, they shoulda been done came

I think they scared of a nigga with this real game



[Too $hort:]

What happened to the groupies, don't point your finger

They're all backstage chasin R&B singers

At the other concert, on the other side of town

I seen a few hoes but they wasn't down

Where the groupies at, I'ma ask yall later

Probably out tryna fuck basketball players

Silly hoes, rappers got mansions

But we aint tryna get into these tramp bitches



[Captain Save-A-Hoe:]

Yall niggas is trippin man,

Yall need to sit down and re-evaluate your morals man

Yall niggas gettin too old for this shit,

Yall gonna be sittin around in the club

Tryna figure out who goin home with ya old ass

You need to find ya a good woman, snatch her up, get her a BMW

She got kids, only do what you do, tell her "I got you"

IRVING BERLIN lyrics - Outside Of That, I Love You



[Verse:]

What makes you think I'm crazy about you?

What makes you think I can't do without you?

I've looked you over carefully

And if I never see you again, it's soon enough for me



[1st refrain:]

I hate the ground you walk upon

I hate the phone you talk upon

I hate 'most ev'rything that you do



I hate the table and the cloth you eat on

I hate the sofa that you rest your seat on



I hate the rouge upon your lips

The polish on your finger tips

I hate your eyes of heavenly blue



I hate the way you sigh, honest I do

Outside of that, I love you



[2nd refrain:]

I hate the way you comb your hair

I hate the flashy clothes you wear

I hate the patent shine on your shoe



I hate the closet that you keep your clothes in

I hate the handkerchief you blow your nose in



I hate the smell of your cigar

The way you lean against a bar

I hate the jokes you tell that are blue



I hate that fancy tie, honest I do

Outside of that, I love you



[3rd refrain:]

I hate the notes you write to me

The verses you recite to me

Your conversation flowing like glue



I hate the way you watch me through your lorgnette

I hate your children that have not been born yet



I hate the dates you fix for me

The cocktails that you mix for me

Those etchings you may want me to view



I hate the way you lie, honest I do

Outside of that, I love you



[4th refrain:]

I hate the song you sing to me

I hate the flow'rs you bring to me

I hate your phony "How do you do?"



I hate the way you always break my dance up

I hate those rubber things that keep your pants up



I hate the cigarette you smoke

The way you kill a funny joke

I hate the brand of gum that you chew



I hate the way you lie, honest I do

Outside of that, I love you



[Alternate lines in 1st chorus:]

I hate that funny little mouth you drink with

That peanut on your shoulders that you think with

GRATEFUL DEAD lyrics - Cosmic Charlie



Cosmic Charlie how do you do

Truckin' in style along the avenue

Dum de dum de do da lee do

Go on home your mama's calling you.



Calico Cal, ya come tell me the news

Calamity's waiting for a way to get to her

Rosey red and electric blue

I bought you a paddle for your paper canoe.



Say you'll come back when you can

Whenever your airplane happens to land

Maybe I'll be back here too

It all depends on what's with you.



Woke up waiting for a windy day

Cat on I (?) since the first of February

Mama keeps saying that the wind might blow

But standing here I say I just don't know.



New ones come in as the old ones go

Everything's moving here but much too slowly

A little bit quicker and we might have time

To say how do you do before we left behind.



Calliope wail like a seaside zoo

The very last lately inquired about you

It's really very one or two

The first you wanted the last I knew.



I just wonder if you shouldn't feel

less concerned about the people unreal

The very first word is how do you do

The last go home your mama's calling you.



Calling you oo oo oo oo oo

Calling you oo oo oo

Calling you oo oo oo

Calling you oo oo oo



Calling you oo oo oo

Go on home your mama's calling you

Calling you oo oo oo

Go on home your mama's calling you

Calling you oo oo oo

Go on home your mama's calling you

Go on home your mama's calling you

(Springfield)



Oh come on

Come on

Everybody

Everybody

Sing it

Sing it

Come on

Come on



Everybody, everybody, sing it

Sing it

Though my shoes are thin

Lord lord

And my coat isn't hangin' down

Lord lord

But this song is mine

So's this old guitar



If you've been down the end of time

You'll have seen my face before

Ha!

Though I ain't had a meal in days

Cuz as soon as I start to play

You know it's just for you

Cause I love it here

In this square waiting

Waiting for the people to come

Oh come on

Come on

Everybody

Everybody

Sing it

Sing it

Everybody, everybody, sing it

Sing it

Though my shoes are thin

Lord lord

And my coat isn't hangin' down

Lord lord

But this song is mine

So's this old guitar



Oooh I spend my life by the river side

Unless somebody takes me in

If they do or they don't

It's all the same



I live the life I do

Living and singing for free

Cause I love it here

In this square

Waiting for the people to come



Come on

Come on

Oh come on

Come on

Everybody

Everybody

Sing it

But this song is mine

So's this old guitar

All right I said come on!


PATTY LOVELESS lyrics - Slow Healin' Heart



When I left

I left walkin' wounded

And made my escape from the rain still a prisoner of hurt

I had months worth the work

Freein' my mind of the pain

I had hours to sit alone in the dark

Listenin' to sad songs

And comin' apart

Lord knows I made cryin' an art

We give a slow healing heart



Slow healing heart

Dyin' to mend

It's longing for love

Lonely again

When a spirit is broken

And the memories start

Nothing moves slower

Than a slow healing heart



How I prayed for blind faith to lead me

To places where I'm not afraid

Now I'm doing fine

Both in body and mind

Some hurts take longer to fade

There's a part of my feelings

Ever on guard

Against looks that are tender

Words that are hard

I still remember those cutting remarks

We give a slow healing heart



A slow healing heart

Is dying to mend

Longing for love

Lonely again

When the spirit is broken

And the memories start

Nothing moves slower

Than a slow healing heart



Nothing moves slower

Than a slow healing heart


MOTORHEAD lyrics - Hardcore



Well, he don't care what people say

Hardcore metal's here to stay

And he don't know from right or wrong

He's hard and hungry, lean and strong

All right, let's go, yeah right

You know that he's home out on the road



[Pre-Chorus:]

Born to lose, not to die

Ask no questions, tell no lies

Sworn to fun, heeds the call

Lives to rock, it's him against them all



[Chorus:]

He's hardcore (hardcore)

Hardcore (hardcore)

Nothin' less, nothin' more

He's hardcore (hardcore)

Hardcore (hardcore)

To the death, that's for sure



The power chord is all he needs

Kill or be killed his only creed

While death is certain, life is not

So he strikes while the iron's hot

C'mon, let's go, yeah right

He lives a hard life, it's all he knows



Rides to live, lives to ride

The iron horse by his side

Axe in hand blasts away

Then moves on to rock another day



[Chorus]

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus 2x]



All right

L. L. COOL J lyrics - God Bless



[Intro:]



Uh

Definitely gonna be butter, nahmean?

It's gone be butter, nahmean?

Uh, swerve on em, uh yeah

I'm in the mood to let the chickenheads flow

Son, no doubt, god it's real

Every member of my clique is equipped with steel

Suga, let's (HEESHA!), uhh, god bless



[Verse 1:]



Just the type of man that can lace the crowd

Which ya hands on ya [BLANK] or you could raise them proud

I bust shots off

Put my hands on my shorty and I make it hot-ter

I got a lock ya, flavour to bring

Got the championships so I'ma savour the ring

Church boy, raised by my grandmomma

Home-bred, I dead all the drama

I'm like the mystical funk technician

It's a sign of the times, guards on a mission



[Chorus:]

God bless ya lover, god bless you [x4]



[Verse 2:]



Have mercy!

Nowadays I got them other niggas acting thirsty

Bless the sky, energy created by my third child

Swerve wit it, get it get it

Feels good to bust shots at the critics

You crave more taste of my funk

When my track drop ain't enough space in ya trunk

Soul for real, but not the group

I'm solo goin for dolo in the drop Coupe

I distribute melodies while ya gold trees

Step a dip like a flip, '96 kis



[Chorus x 2]



Matter fact take it to the bridge



[Bridge:]

God bless

God bless ya lover

[repeat]



[Verse 3:]



Honey dippin off my Nautica sleeves

With them Gortex boots, that compliment all the cheese

Shouldn't hate me cos I'm raw

(I thought you fell off kid!) You said that shit before

But you see miracles when you're lyrical

Off some LL shit, chickens get hysterical

Cos I..... form like Voltron

Let's get it on and take ya chime bomb [explosion]

Knock it off

I like your style but it's a slight bit soft

Son, the LL rule, huh

I pick it up and lay it down mad cool

It'll cost you a fortune (What?)

For me to make it hot, heat it up and keep it scorchin



[Chorus to fade]



[Outro: (over chorus)]

It's all built for '96 kid!

No diggity, ?Rehaud? lace me

Nahmean? Lil Chris in the house

Ol Moms, Big E and the fam

Yo son, who's next?
