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)

Are you ready for...
How would you like a...
Let me show you a... (good time)
Hey, big spender...

A real big spender.
Good looking, so refined.

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

RICK SPRINGFIELD lyrics - Come On Everybody
(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
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
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
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
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
Crack the Mo, here we go
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?
