VANESSA WILLIAMS lyrics - Open Your Eyes, You Can Fly



[Intro - Speakout:]

Never be afraid to love

Never be afraid to just be

Just cast away the chains of doubt

Have the courage to be free



Don't cloud your rise with father's lies

See only what you want to see

To stuplicate the simple truth

Have the courage to be free



Open your eyes You can fly

Open your eyes You can fly

You can fly (uh uh)

You can fly



Never be afraid to love (no, no, no...)

Never be afraid to just be

Cast away the chains of doubt

Have the courage to be free



Open your eyes You can fly (fly away)

Open your eyes You can fly

You can fly (fly, fly, fly)



Open your eyes (yeah) You can fly (fly away)

Open your eyes You can fly

You can fly (mhh)

You can fly (fly away mhhm)



[Speakout:]

Remember,

You can't wait for others to applaud what you do

So just congratulate youself

And start something new



Open your eyes You can fly (open your eyes)

Open your eyes You can fly (you can fly with me)

You can fly (fly)



Open your eyes (eyes) You can fly (baby yeah)

Open your eyes (fly away with never) You can fly (fly away with never)

You can fly

You can fly (mhh fly away way way)



Open your eyes (open your eyes) You can fly

Open your eyes (baby) You can fly

You can fly (no open this)



Open your eyes


PULP lyrics - Silence



At first I could say

I could say or do

Just whatever I liked

You would

You would not

You would not answer

That's alright

Oh



I can't believe in the morning of your silence

You will never cut

You will never cut the threads of your reliance

You can

You can deny

You can deny that I was anything to you

But I know

I know in my mind

I can see the scars

The scars I've left on you

I can't believe in the morning of your silence

You will never cut

You will never cut the threads of your reliance

When we are passed in the street

You can try and cover it up with whatever you like

Lipstick, mascara, that kind of thing

You won't fool me

You won't fool anyone

They'll take one look at you

And they'll know the kind of person they're dealing with

You can laugh about it

You can pretend that you weren't involved

But you know what went on in that room that night

You know what was said

And you know you'll never forget

I hate the sight of the face I have destroyed through our alliance

I won't forget how loved I once was and how much I loved your eyes

So the bedroom becomes a funeral parlour once again

See the corpse of former feeling laid out stiff and white for all to see

So this is the end

But we'll still be good friends, won't we?

We'll still be good friends, won't we?

We'll still be good friends, won't we?

Goodbye.

THE DOORS lyrics - Close To You



(Willie Dixon)



(I want to get)

Close to you like black on white,

Close to you like the coldest of ice,

Close to you like a siamese twin,

Close to you like I'm feeling all right.

(I want to get)

Close to you baby, X3

I don't know what to say or do.

(I want to get)

Close to you like the sight of your eye?

Close to you like the heat is to fire,

Close to you baby as close as I can get,

Close to you like water is wet.

(I want to get)

Close to you till I'm feeling all right,

Close to you - gonna love you all night,

Close to you in New York City,

I love you so much you know it's a pity.

Closer and closer baby.

Closer and closer baby.


JANE'S ADDICTION lyrics - Ted, Just Admit It



Camera got them images

Camera got them all

Nothing's shocking...

Showed me everybody

Naked and disfigured

Nothing's shocking...

And then he came

Now sister's

Not a virgin anymore

Her sex is violent...



The T. V.'s got them images

T. V.'s got them all

It's not shocking!

Every half an hour

Someone's captured and

The cop moves them along...

It's just like the show before

The news is

Just another show

With sex and violence...



Sex is violent...

Sex is violent...

Sex is violent...

Sex is violent...

Sex is violent...

Sex is violent...

Sex is violent!



I am the killer of people

You look like a meatball

I'll throw away your toothpick

And ask for your giveness



Because of this thing!

Because of this thing!

Because of this thing!



That's in me

Is it not in you?

Is it not your problem?

A baby to a mother...



You talk too much

To your scapegoat

That's what I say

He tells you everyone is stupid

That's what he thinks!



Snapshots

Make a girl look cheap

Like a tongue extended

A baby's to a mother



Sex is violent!

Sex is violent!

Sex is violent!

Sex is violent!


THE KINGSTON TRIO lyrics - Lion In The Winter



(Hoyt Axton)



Like a lion in the winter, I can hear the summer call

Like a ship out on the ocean made of stone,

And sometimes when I get lonely, I could swear I hear you call.

Oh, the nights are cold and you don't keep me warm.



[Chorus:]

And when I first saw you, I first loved you. Here's the song that I sang to the fire in your eyes,

But somebody told you that it wouldn't be easy and you carry that lie for the devil to see.



Some sail rivers deep and muddy. Some sail rivers clear and cold,

But the river I'm sailing goes to sea,

And sometimes I do grow weary. Sometimes I feel old,

And sometimes I wonder if you think of me.



[Chorus, repeat 1st verse, & Chorus]


JONI MITCHELL lyrics - Don Juan's Reckless Daughter



I'm Don Juan's reckless daughter

I came out two days on your tail

Those two bald-headed days in November

Before the first snowflakes sail

Out on the vast and subtle plains of mystery

A split tongue spirit talks

Noble as a nickel chief

Striking up an old juke box

And he says:

"Snakes along the railroad tracks."

He says, "Eagles in jet trails..."

He says, "Coils around feathers and talons on scales...

Gravel under the belly plates..."

He says, "Wind in the Wings..."

He says, "Big bird dragging its tail in the dust...

Snake kite flying on a string."



I come from open prairie

Given some wisdom and a lot of jive!

Last night the ghosts of my old ideas

Reran on channel five

And it howled so spooky for its eagle soul

I nearly broke down and cried

But the split tongue spirit laughed at me

He says, "Your serpent cannot be denied."

Our serpents love the whisky bars

They love the romance of the crime

But didn't I see a neon sign

Fester on your hotel blind

And a country road come off the wall

And swoop down at the crowd at the bar

And put me at the top of your danger list

Just for being so much like you are!



You're a coward against the altitude-

You're a coward against the flesh-

Coward-caught between yes and no

Reckless this time on the line for yes, yes, yes!

Reckless brazen in the play

Of your changing traffic lights

Coward-slinking down the hall

to another restless night

As we center behind the eight ball

As we rock between the sheets

As we siphon the colored language

Off the farms and the streets

Here in Good-Old-God-Save-America

the home of the brave and the free

We are all hopelessly oppressed cowards

Of some duality

Of restless multiplicity

(Oh say can you see)



Restless for streets and honky tonks

Restless for home and routine

Restless for country-safety-and her

Restless for the likes of reckless me

Restless sweeps like fire and rain

Over virgin wilderness

It prowls like hookers and thieves

Through bolt locked tenements

Behind my bolt locked door

The eagle and the serpent are at war in me

The serpent fighting for blind desire

The eagle for clarity

What strange prizes these battles bring

These hectic joys-these weary blues

Puffed up and strutting when I think I win

Down and shaken when I think I lose

There are rivets up here in this eagle

There are box cars down there on your snake

And we are twins of spirit

No matter which route home we take

Or what we forsake

We're going to come up to the eyes of clarity

And we'll go down to the beads of guile

There is danger and education

In living out such a reckless life style

I touched you on the central plains

It was plane to train my twin

It was just plane shadow to train shadow

But to me it was skin to skin

The spirit talks in spectrums

He talks to mother earth to father sky

Self indulgence to self denial

Man to woman

Scales to feathers

You and I

Eagles in the sky

You and I

Snakes in the grass

You and I

Crawl and fly

You and I

AC/DC lyrics - Big Balls



(Young - Young - Scott)



Well I'm upper upper class high society

God's gift to ballroom notoriety

And I always fill my ballroom

The event is never small

The social pages say I've got

The biggest balls of all



I've got big balls

I've got big balls

They're such big balls

And they're dirty big balls

And he's got big balls

And she's got big balls

(But we've got the biggest balls of them all)



And my balls are always bouncing

My ballroom always full

And everybody cums and cums again

If your name is on the guest list

No one can take you higher

Everybody says I've got

Great balls of fire



I've got big balls

Oh I've got big balls

And they're such big balls

Dirty big balls

And he's got big balls

And she's got big balls

(But we've got the biggest balls of them all)



Some balls are held for charity

And some for fancy dress

But when they're held for pleasure

They're the balls that I like best

My balls are always bouncing

To the left and to the right

It's my belief that my big balls

Should be held every night



We've got big balls

We've got big balls

We've got big balls

Dirty big balls

He's got big balls

She's got big balls

(But we've got the biggest balls of them all)



(We've got big balls)

(We've got big balls)



And I'm just itching to tell you about them

Oh we had such wonderful fun

Seafood cocktail, crabs, crayfish

(But we've got the biggest balls of them all)



(Bollocks, knackers)

(Bollocks, knackers)

(Bollocks, knackers)

(Bollocks, knackers)


RICKY NELSON lyrics - Time After Time



Time after time

I tell myself that I'm

So lucky to be loving you



So lucky to be

The one you run to see

In the evening, when the day is through



I only know what I know

The passing years will show

You've kept my love so young, so new



And time after time

I tell myself that I'm

So lucky to be loving you



I only know what I know

The passing years will show

You've kept my love so young, so new



And time after time

You'll hear me say that I'm

So lucky to be loving you



And time after time

I tell myself that I'm

So lucky to be loving you


VAN MORRISON lyrics - Centrepiece



(Harry Edison / Jon Hendricks)



The more I'm with you pretty baby

The more I feel my love increase

I'm building all my dreams around you

My happiness will never cease

But nothing's any good without you

Cause baby you're my centrepiece



I buy a house and garden somewhere

Along a country road a piece

A little cottage on the outskirts

Where we can really find release

But nothing's any good without you

Cause baby you're my centrepiece



Hey baby come and go



[Repeat first and second verse]


SHELBY LYNNE lyrics - Iced Tea



You look like an art piece floating in my mind

And I am told fortunes are gold

Fortunes are gold.

Bucket loads of gratitude I feel for you

You are fine. I pour you like wine, pour you like wine.



As the desert sky turns into shadow light

Beside me on my bed tonight

Your love is the only light I see

You feel like the only home I've ever known

And I am shown

Tonight.



You seem like a memory that I've always known

And it has shown as long as I go, long as I go.

Safe and lost forever in a fantasy

Tosses and turns. My heart never yearns. My heart never yearns.



There's no better place to be than in your eyes.

There's no other sight to see

You're the cornbread and iced tea of life.



You feel like the only home I've ever known

And I am shown tonight

Oh how I'm shown

Goodnight.

THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS lyrics - Conquest Of The Planet Of The Apes



Conquest, it's a type of quest

They called it a conquest of the planet of the apes

Conquest, they played it at request

It was another type of quest

For the planet of the apes

Conquest!

Request!

We're gonna have an inquest

But this is a type of quest

For the planet of the apes

Yeah!


MANFRED MANN'S EARTH BAND lyrics - 'Belle' Of The Earth



The road is empty,

The subway lies ahead,

There is no music all the sounds have gone dead.

The day is misty,

There's no life around,

'Cause there's something wrong in this town.



Out in the distance,

There's a simple sound,

It comes, it grows.

Bell of the earth,

Ringing like a tambourine,

Calling right out of the silent places,

Calling to me from the empty spaces.

Core of the earth,

Singing like a violin,

Calling right out of the silent places,

Calling me.



Out on the freeway, silence abounds.

The crowded highway is making no sound,

The limo driver, he endlessly waits,

For the long drive across the golden state.



Out in the distance,

There's a simple sound,

It comes, it grows.

Bell of the earth,

Ringing like a tambourine,

Calling right out of the silent places,

Calling to me from the empty spaces.

Core of the earth,

Singing like a violin,

Calling right out of the silent places,

Calling me.


U2 lyrics - Window In The Skies



The shackles are undone

The bullet's quit the gun

The heat that's in the sun

Will keep us when it's done

The rule has been disproved

The stone, it has been moved

The grain is now a grove

All debts are removed



Oh, can't you see what love has done

Oh, can't you see what love has done

Oh, can't you see what love has done

What it's doing to me



Love makes strange enemies

Makes love where love may please

Soul in its striptease

Hate brought to its knees

The sky over our head

We can reach it from our bed

If you let me in your heart

And out of my head



Oh, can't you see what love has done

Oh, can't you see what love has done

Oh, can't you see what love has done

What it's doing to me



Please don't ever let me out of here

I've got no shame

Oh no, oh no



Oh, can't you see what love has done

Oh, can't you see

Oh, can't you see what love has done

What it's doing to me



Oh, can't you see what love has done

I know I hurt you and I made you cry

Oh, can't you see what love has done

Did everything but murder you and I

Oh, can't you see what love has done

But love left a window in the skies

Oh, can't you see what love has done

And to love I raphsodize



Oh, can't you see what love has done

To every broken heart

Oh, can't you see what love has done

For every heart that cries

Oh, can't you see what love has done

Love left a window in the skies

Oh, can't you see what love has done

And to love I raphsodize



Oh, can't you see

NEIL DIAMOND lyrics - Recipe For Happiness



For ev'ry guy who's got a girl

To aid him the social whirl,

I'd gladly give my recipe

I know it's good, it's worked for me



Take two hearts, a dash of tenderness

Mix them both and season with a kiss

That's the first part of my

Recipe for happiness



Take her smile,

Some yearning and desire,

Heat with love and soon,

You'll have a fire

You've almost got

My recipe for happiness



Hold her near at the proper time

Call her dear, it'll turn out fine

To reveal a touch of paradise,

Mix a ring, a dash of shoes and rice

Now you've found my

Recipe for happiness


10,000 MANIACS lyrics - Girl On A Train



Waking on a train dreaming,

Charmed alone they started speaking.

Captured in his artist way

Before the memories fade away.



To remember a face,

And you're home or want to.



Certain they would meet soon,

Paint a portrait of a family.



Single light on, single way,

Single light away.



The night fell.

Saw a painting on the stairwell

To mourn the passing of a daughter dear.

Her soul upon the train

So far so near.

Just close your eyes and you're home.


MICHAEL MCDONALD lyrics - House Full Of Love



(McDonald/Harris/Farren)



Guess that we could always want for something more

Then how much is enough

So much for all the things we know we can't afford

I don't need any more stuff baby

Let everybody else rush around, fight the crowds

Only to ask themselves why

All I need is just some mistletoe, you and i

Baby I'm satisfied right here in your arms



[Chorus:]

Baby, we got a house full of love

We got a house full of love

Might not be rich enough, baby we got love

And that's all we really need

We got a house full of love



So baby come to me and sit here by the fire

And let the world rush on by

We'll find the magic of a christmas long ago

Just like the very first time

Let everybody else lose their minds, wait in line

Only to ask themselves why

All I need is just to be with you christmas eve

That's all the present that I'll ever need



[Chorus]



We got a house full of love now baby



All I need is just to be with you christmas eve

That's all the present that I'll ever need



[Chorus]


DONNA SUMMER lyrics - Cats Without Claws



It's a windy night

Of first and main

Of any city

Of a hundred names

Spirits fly high and the sparks fly low

And the cats are all creeping out the back door slow

And the cats are out, gonna harmonize

They're headed for Cool Street on the main line

And here comes that Joe Serpentine

The life of a cat can leave you far behind



They're just cats without claws

Never had a good reason

Never had a cause



It's hard to be yourself

When everyone else is around

There's always someone out there

Trying to pull you down

You're sitting on the fence crying out to the moon

The day goes by too fast and the night comes too soon

You bet your life and you sell your soul

Give it all up for beggar's gold

And the hidden city has its own laws

Produces a species cats without claws



They're just cats without claws

Never had a good reason

Never had a cause

Oh, they're just cats without claws

Never had a good reason

Never had a cause



Oh, here they come again

Singing songs in a melody

Do, do, do, do, do



Oh, oh, it's tough life, tough life, tough life

And the streets are full of pain

Specially when it's calling out your name

It's hard on the one who doesn't sacrifice

The things the world has to offer nice

Come inside, spend some time, stay alive

It'll take your heart and it'll steal your mind



Oh, they're just cats without claws

Never had a good reason

Never had a cause

Oh, they're just cats without claws

Never had a good reason

Never had a cause

Oh, oh, oh, oh

NICO lyrics - One More Chance



Give awareness and some light

To the darkness outside

A roof above my head might just be right

For such a tender night



Give awareness and some light

To the darkness outside

A roof above my head might just be right

For such a tender night tender night



The bridge will show you how to fall

More than one good person you can call



Stepping on the stairway

Climbing up the wall

Has the man I told you about

Stopped in here or called?



Stepping on the stairway

climbing up the wall

Has the man I told you about

Stopped in here or called?



Was it the right moment to lift his head

And did he see that you are mad



Seven daughters and one son

And their father's on the run

He is gone long past midnight

From the Towers strikes the time.



What will they do when morning dawns

They may not be able to explain



Are you ready for a good fight

Are you ready for laughter

It is you that we are after

It is you



You can give me one more chance

Forget that it is me who must fight

BEACH BOYS lyrics - Frosty The Snowman



(Nelson/Rollins)



Frosty the Snowman

Was a jolly happy soul

With a corn-cob pipe and a button nose

And two eyes made out of coal



Frosty the Snowman

Is a fairy tale they say

He was made of snow

But the children know

How he came to life one day



There must have been some magic

In that old silk hat they found

For when they placed it on his head

He began to dance around



Frosty the Snowman

Was alive as he could be

And the children say

He could laugh and play

Just the same as you and me



Frosty the Snowman

Knew the sun was hot that day

So he said, "Let's run

And we'll have some fun

Now before I melt away"



Down to the village

With a broomstick in his hand

Running here and there

All around the square

Saying, "Catch me if you can"



He led them down

The streets of town

Right to the traffic cop

And he only paused a moment

When he heard them holler, "Stop!"



Frosty the Snowman

Had to hurry on his way

But he waved goodbye

Saying, "Don't you cry

I'll be back again some day"


BRIAN ENO lyrics - Fractal Zoom



Slow

There

Reply

Toil

No need to go on

Do I need to go on?



Slow

Lie

Endure

Recline

In a separate time

On a different plane





[The "Small Country" Mix on the Maxi-CD Fractal Zoom single also includes the following words:]



It's a small country: everyone's famous.

There are hundreds of magazines about famous people.

"Mari Neuil Kaufman: Pharmacien le Jour, Commedien la Nuit."

Famous chefs, famous gardeners, famous toy boat enthusiasts, famous collectors of things: collectors of bottles, cheeses, fish, tiles, fossils, bar mats, matches, pictures:

Pictures of coffee bars, of racing cars, of shooting stars,

And of women: big women, young women, oriental women, nude women, serious women, women with green eyes, with hazel eyes, eyes behind glass.

SONIC YOUTH lyrics - Saucer-Like



Swirling whirling through the city of ages

You sink a bit whenever angels fly

Do you have a feeling for their fuzzy faces?

Are you close enough to see into their eyes?



You're magic fit and free

Taxi holds on the breeze

A dream's a dream of feelings

That never fall at all

Holds his thoughts in chains

And tries to bust up the walls



Every day it's just another breath

Every night another little death

Do you scratch and itch when your head feels tight

Or wave it away and just stay out all night?



Got your head in the trees

If that's the way you're feeling

It's not good or bad

Channels of thought revealing now

Some things we all had



I'm having a wonderful vision of the city today

Buildings all lined up neat on straight sun lit blocks

Avenue canyons stretch forever

Handcut panes grooved like a record

Flat bridge

Peer, boat, docks

I'm slipping round the bottom edge [line echoes]



Do you trip and breeze

Down city streets

Just a little free

With your head in the trees


LOBO lyrics - I Can't Believe You Anymore



(Lobo)



The next time I see you

I know what it will be

You haven't had enough time

To think out you and me

You'll say that you have been lonely

That's not what my friends say

But you'll always deny it

And make things look your way



When I see you the next time

And your eyes burn in to mine

Will that set my doubt lose

And change your lies into truths

Once more

Or is today the day I'll start believing

I can't believe you anymore



You don't want to burn your bridges

On the way to where ever you're bound

You don't want to make commitments

Until you're sure of what you've found

So I keep letting you lead me

Down a road of no return

I know my mind is telling my heart

It's about time you learned

THE DOOBIE BROTHERS lyrics - Something You Said



(M. Lunn/A. Gorrie)



I didn't stand a chance

I heard a voice within

With just a passing glance

You made the walls cave in

You were gone baby, without a word

I got the message loud and clear

Couldn't help but hear

As you were walkin' away

It was somethin' you said...



Now I wake up in the night

Strange things in my head

Oh, you did it with your eyes

It must'a been something

Must'a been something you said

So say it again



I'm just delirious

Caught in a waking dream

Did you mean what you said

An' did you say what you mean



Mere words - fade away

You had a language I couldn't miss

It was on your lips, but

You didn't get me that way

It was something you said



Now I wake up in the night

Strange things in my head

Oh, you did it with your eyes

It must'a been something

Must'a been something you said

So say it again



In the middle of the night

All alone in my bed

It was nothin' you could write

It must'a been something

Must'a been something you said


JOAN BAEZ lyrics - Dear Landlord



(B. Dylan)



Dear landlord,

Please don't put a price on my soul.

My burden is heavy,

My dreams are beyond control.

When that steamboat whistle blows,

I'm gonna give you all I got to give,

And I do hope you receive it well,

Dependin' on the way you feel that you live.



Dear landlord,

Please heed these words that I speak.

I know you've suffered much,

But in this you are not so unique.

All of us, at times, we might work too hard

To have it too fast and too much,

And anyone can fill his life up

With things he can see but he just cannot touch.



Dear landlord,

Please don't dismiss my case.

I'm not about to argue,

I'm not about to move to no other place.

Now, each of us has his own special gift

And you know this was meant to be true,

And if you don't underestimate me,

I won't underestimate you.

ABBA lyrics - Ring Ring (1974 Remix, Single Version)



I was sitting by the phone

I was waiting all alone

baby by myself

I sit and wait and wonder about you

it's a dark and dreary night

seems like nothing's going right

won't you tell me honey

how can I go on here without you

yes, I'm down and feeling blue

and I don't know what to do, oh-oh



Ring, ring

why don't you give me a call

ring, ring

the happiest sound of them all

ring, ring

I stare at the phone on the wall

and I sit all alone impatiently

won't you please understand the need in me

so, ring, ring

why don't you give me a call

so, ring, ring

why don't you give me a call



You were here and now you're gone

hey did I do something wrong

I just can't believe that I could be

so badly mistaken

was it me or was it you

tell me, are we really through

won't you hear me cry

and you will know that my heart is breaking

please forgive and then forget

or maybe darling better yet, oh-oh



Ring, ring

why don't you give me a call

ring, ring

the happiest sound of them all

ring, ring

I stare at the phone on the wall

and I sit all alone impatiently

won't you please understand the need in me

so, ring, ring

why don't you give me a call

so, ring, ring

why don't you give me a call


GREG BROWN lyrics - King Corn



I look down the road far as I can see,

Hey, far as I can see,

King Corn, King Corn, stare right back at me



Queen Bee, Queen Bee, take the king by the hand,

Hey, take the king by the hand,

Led her master all across the land.



Mr. Blackbird, Mr. Blackbird, talkin' tough and smart,

Hey, talkin' tough and smart,

Said if you don't want trouble, just stay out of my yard.

(I'll peck out your eyes.)



And the bugs, all the bugs, evenin', night and morn,

Hey, evenin', night, and morn,

One hundred bugs for every kernel of corn.



Mr. Mouse, he was livin' underneath the bin,

Hey, fat mouse, underneath the bin.

He wouldn't share with his brother, the king's hawk did him in.

(Ouch.)



King Corn said to Queen Bee, girl, we got it made,

Hey, girl we got it made,

Everybody else is hiding in the shade.



When the wind blows and the storm rises, hail it hammers down,

Hey, hail it hammers down,

Tear the King Corn's green robe and his golden crown.



King Corn, King Corn, he's a moody guy,

Hey, he's a moody guy,

He makes fat times lean times in the wink of an eye.



I look down the road, far as I can see,

Hey, far as I can see,

King Corn, King Corn, stare right back at me.



King Corn, King Corn, stare right back at me.


ROD STEWART lyrics - I Don't Want To Talk About It



(Danny Whitten)



I can tell by your eyes that you've prob'bly been cryin' forever,

and the stars in the sky don't mean nothin' to you, they're a mirror.

I don't want to talk about it, how you broke my heart.

If I stay here just a little bit longer,

If I stay here, won't you listen to my heart, whoa, heart?



If I stand all alone, will the shadow hide the color of my heart;

blue for the tears, black for the night's fears.

The star in the sky don't mean nothin' to you, they're a mirror.

I don't want to talk about it, how you broke my heart.

If I stay here just a little bit longer,

if I stay here, won't you listen to my heart, whoa, heart?

I don't want to talk about it, how you broke this ol' heart.



If I stay here just a little bit longer,

if I stay here, won't you listen to my heart, whoa, heart?

My heart, whoa, heart.


THE PARTRIDGE FAMILY lyrics - Me Loving You



(Peggy Clinger and Johnny Cymbal)



A lonely cry, a broken wing,

Love can be the saddest thing

If we've got the time we'll take it



When baby cries, two broken hearts

Love can end before it starts

But you follow the sun and we'll make it



[Chorus:]

We'll find the sunshine

We'll see it through

With your hand in my hand we'll stand two by two

With me loving you

Me loving you



The saddest song, the coldest night

Don't seem bad when love is right

It could be June or December

So if your life seems torn apart and only love can mend your heart

Just look at me now and remember



[Chorus]



Me loving you

Me loving you


BONNIE TYLER lyrics - Notes From America



(Desmond Child & Robbie Seidman)



Somewhere in America

The tour bus roars through the dead of night

The sleeping towns fade out of sight

You know what I mean

Here it comes and goes so fast

Lookin' out this window

I just see black

Sometimes I wish that I was back

And this was all a dream



I been up and down

I been lost and found

In America, in America

I been turned around

Till I don't know where I'm bound

In America, in America

And I miss you now

Just a note from America...



Livin' on the road again

I'm the only woman

In this rock and roll band

Fifty states of one night stands

You know what I mean

Railroad crossing, midnight train

Just the lonely sound

Of the clickety-clack

Still I know I can't turn back

American dream...



I been up and down

I been lost and found

In America, in America

I been turned around

Till I don't know where I'm bound

In America, in America

And I miss you now

Just a note from America...



Sometimes when it gets to me

I dream that you are next to me

I can feel you near (Whisperin' my name)

I can feel your touch (Take away my pain)

I can hear you say

"I just want to love you again"

Baby, baby...


IRVING BERLIN lyrics - It's The Little Bit Of Irish



[Verse:]

When Irish meets Irish

They will seldom disagree

There's a perfect understanding

Like a chord of harmony

They talk the same

And they walk the same

They think the same, they do

That's just why you fancy me

And I fancy you



[Refrain:]

Why do you love what I do?

It's the little bit of Irish

That's in your heart



When McCormack sings

Why do you shout with joy?

If a band should start

Playing an Irish rhythm

You'd go with 'em



Why do you speak as I do

With a little bit of brogue

From which you'll never part?



When you see a three leaf clover

Why do you smile all over?

It's the little bit of Irish in your heart



[2nd verse:]

When Irish meets Irish

Should they ever start a fight

They will leave it to a German

To decide which one is right

Lord help the Hun

The unlucky one

Who's picked out to decide

Hist'ry tells us that's just how

A thousand Huns died

CHAKA KHAN lyrics - Heed The Warning



(Chaka Khan, Mark Stevens, Ellison Chase and Arthur Jacobsen)



There are so many things in life to know

Cause someone says it's right don't make it so

This is someone somewhere who's taking notes

There's someone telling lies sowing wild oats

When you are moving fast, you can succeed

Just how long can you last at twice the speed



[Chorus:]

Here's a warning: two wrongs don't make a right

Heed the warning, and everything will be alright



I'll keep good meter, and I'll take my time

I'll try to stay in beat and live in rhyme

I know from love I came, to love I'll go

I'll live and learn and love and try to grow

When you are moving fast, you can succeed

Just how long can you last at twice the speed


THE BEATLES lyrics - Wait



(Lennon/McCartney)



It's been a long time

Now I'm coming back home

I've been away now

Oh how, I've been alone



Wait till I come back to your side

We'll forget the tears we've cried



But if your heart breaks

Don't wait, turn me away

And if your heart's strong

Hold on, I won't delay



Wait till I come back to your side

We'll forget the tears we've cried



I feel as though

You ought to know

That I've been good

As good as I can be

And if you do

I'll trust in you

And know that you

Will wait for me



It's been a long time

Now I'm coming back home

I've been away now

Oh how, I've been alone



Wait till I come back to your side

We'll forget the tears we've cried



I feel as though

You ought to know

That I've been good

As good as I can be

And if you do

I'll trust in you

And know that you

Will wait for me



But if your heart breaks

Don't wait, turn me away

And if your heart's strong

Hold on, I won't delay



Wait till I come back to your side

We'll forget the tears we've cried



It's been a long time

Now I'm coming back home

I've been away now

Oh how, I've been alone

NEW EDITION lyrics - I Thought It Was Me?



I went out last night

See, that's when I met a sexy little girl

She was lookin' so right

She said, "I wanna take you for a trip around the world"



And by the look in her eyes, ho

The girl was serious

She wore no disguise, oh, no

So let's have some fun, yeah

Yo', I love bein' a bachelor

Ricky said, "Yo', that girl's a good catch for ya"

She and I choose to cruise in my love boat

My waterbed kept us afloat

I had to prove my manhood

Show her that the B-I-V was damn good, understood

I never had my boat rocked like that before, yo'



The way we left the spot

All systems ready to go

She said, "Sit back and relax

I'm runnin' the show"



I couldn't hesitate

It was much too late

That girl had got me straight

And I was ready to go, yeah

Fly girl you love to jam with

She's stickin' closer to you

Then the bread on the meat of my sandwich

I know you rock a beach cuz



Naw, it wasn't even like that

She left the room to get comfy and cozy

Then the R to the O to the N got nosey



Cruising guys wore favorite past-time

Takin' chances almost got her lifetime

She said, "You only live once"

Stayin' loose, made many head turns

If you did her wrong, you just might get burned

So let's have some fun, yeah



(I thought it was me) I thought it was me that makes the girl this way

PETE TOWNSHEND lyrics - I Put A Spell On You



I put a spell on you

Because your mine

You better stop the things you do

I aint' lying, no I ain't lying



You know I can't stand it

You know I can't stand it mamma

The way you put me down

So I put a spell on you

Because your mine



Do I love ya

And I don't care

I don't care if you don't want me

Because I'm yours right now

You know I can't stand it

I can't stand it when you put me down

You ought to no better mamma

I can't stand a women run around

I put a spell on you

Because

VAN MORRISON lyrics - John Henry



When John Henry was a little baby

Sittin' on his mama's knee

Well he picked up a feather and a piece of steel

And said that's gonna be the death of me

Lord, lord, lord that's gonna be the death of me

Well John Henry had a little woman

Name of Polly Ann

Well John got sick had to lay down on the bed

Polly drove steel like a man

Lord, lord, lord, Polly drove steel like a man



Well John Henry went up on the mountain

Well the mountain was sinkin' in

He said come on captain I know what I'm doin'

It ain't nothin' but my hammer suckin' wind

Lord, lord, lord, It ain't nothin' but my hammer suckin' wind



Well john Henry went up on the mountain

Lord the mountain was so high

He said we're gonna shake this steel drivin' down

Give me a cool drink of water before I die

Give me a cool drink of water before I die



Some say he came from England

Some say he came from Spain

But John Henry was nothin' but a Louisiana man

And he died with his hammer in his hand

Lord, lord, lord, he died with his hammer in his hand

Steel drivin' man, he died with his hammer in his hand

Lord ain't nothin' but my hammer suckin' wind etc. etc.


RAINBOW lyrics - Stargazer



High noon, oh I'd sell my soul for water

Nine years worth of breakin' my back

There's no sun in the shadow of the wizard

See how he glides, why he's lighter than air?

Oh I see his face!



Where is your star?

Is it far, is it far, is it far?

When do we leave?

I believe, yes, I believe



In the heat and the rain

With the whips and chains

To see him fly

So many die

We built a tower of stone

With our flesh and bone

Just to see him fly

But don't know why

Now where do we go?



Hot wind, moving fast across the desert

We feel that our time has arrived

The world spins, while we put his dream together

A tower of stone to take him straight to the sky

Oh I see his face!



Where is your star?

Is it far, is it far, is it far?

When do we leave?

Hey, I believe, I believe



In the heat and the rain

With the whips and chains

Just to see him fly

Too many die

We built a tower of stone

With our flesh and bone

To see him fly

But we don't know why

Ooh, now where do we go



All eyes see the figure of the wizard

As he climbs to the top of the world

No sound, as he falls instead of rising

Time standing still, then there's blood on the sand

Oh I see his face!



Where was your star?

Was it far, was it far

When did we leave?

We believed, we believed, we believed



In heat and rain

With the whips and chains

To see him fly

So many died

We built a tower of stone

With our flesh and bone

To see him fly



But why

In all the rain

With all the chains

Did so many die

Just to see him fly



Look at my flesh and bone

Now, look, look, look, look, Look at the tower of stone

I see your rainbow rising

Look there, on the horizon oh no, who's rising

And I'm coming home, I'm coming home, I'm coming home



Time is standing still

You, give back my will

Ooh ooh ooh ooh

Going home I'm going home



My eyes are bleeding

And my heart is lead ahead

But it's not home

But it's not home

Ooh



Take me back

You, give me back my will

Ooh ooh ooh ooh



Going home

I'm going home



My eyes are bleeding

And my heart is lead ahead

But it's not home

But it's not home



Take me back, take me back

Back to my home ooh, ooh, ooh

BARCLAY JAMES HARVEST lyrics - Life Is For Living



You and me, our life is drifting along

Watching the world as it's singing its song

High above, someone is calling to me

Life is for living and living is free



You to me, are like the sun in the sky

See how you fly you have wings of your own

You and me, our love will last without end

Ride with the wind won't you follow me home



Turn around and see the circles we spin

And we're taking our chances on where we begin

Up above, the rain is falling on me

Life is for living and living is free



You to me, are like the sun in the sky

See how you fly you have wings of your own

You and me, our love will last without end

Ride with the wind won't you follow me home



Taking up time trying to write a line till the break of day

Given a sign can you make it rhyme tell me what to say

Making it fine can you ease my mind help me drift away



Turn around, and see the circles we spin

Taking our chances on where we begin

Up above, the rain is falling on me

Life is for living and living is free



You to me, are like the sun in the sky

See how you fly you have wings of your own

You and me, our love will last without end

Ride with the wind won't you follow me home


MOTORHEAD lyrics - All Gone To Hell



Wide Wake, wide awake, hear the silence hiss,

Will you break, will you break, ironbinds your wrist,

In your face, in your face, see the others flinch,

Iron law, Iron claw, don't you move an inch.



Strike toward the one you love,

Throw the dark ones down,

Velvet fist, iron glove, the lost one now is found,

Don't you ask me why and when,



I will never tell,

Life was so muck stranger then,

But that's all Gone to Hell.



Make a start, make a start, open up the door,

In the dark, in the dark, who could ask for more,

You are blind, you are blind, wish that you were deaf,

In the mind, in your mind, hear the serpent's breath.



Fight the demons in your head,



Whatch until the dawn,

We all heard the words we said,

We all braved the storm,

Never show the ones within,

What we do or sell,

Life is so much safer now,

But it's all Gone to Hell.



In the night, in the night, hear your shadow breathe,

Feel the bite, feel the bite, no-one wi" believe,

By your side, by your side,

Beware of shadows now,

Kiss your bride, Kiss the bride,

Seal your marriage now.



You must be much braver boy,

Then you ever dreamed,

Or your world will be destroyed,

By the small and mean,

You must stand, and fight them hard,

You must never run,

You must be a shining star,

Do what must be done,

Don't you ask me why and how,

You must lift the spell,

Life could be much mmore than this,

Unless we've Gone to Hell.

EMMYLOU HARRIS lyrics - Better Off Without You



(Marshall Chapman/Dennis Walker/Fontaine Brown)



Room 16, the Palms Motel

Now I can rest behind that door

My life with you's become a living hell

Don't wanna live like that no more

And whatever it will take

I will do to make this final break



Yeah, better off without you

Better off without you

Better off without you in my life



So I'll unpack my bag

And kick off these old shoes

This room is a good as anyplace I've ever been

For lookin' at the truth

Now it's all so clear to me

What a blind man could plainly see



Yeah, better off without you

Better off without you

Better off without you in my life



Oh, God, here comes the tears

I'm gonna stay right here

I'll cry. I've cried before

But I won't go back no more



Looks like a change in the weather

I can hear it start to rain

I hope it's not too long this time

Before the sun comes out again

But if it rains forever

I will still be better off



Yeah, better off without you

Better off without you

Better off without you in my life


VAN MORRISON lyrics - It Fills You Up



There's something going on

It fill you up, it fill you up, it fill you up now

There's something going on

It fill you up, it fill you up, it fill you up now

But you don't know what it is

But you don't know what it is

But you don't have to know

You just take it for what it is (spoken)



Within this melody

It fill you up, it fill you up, it fill you up now

There's more then you can see

It fill you up, it fill you up, it fill you up now

There's another realm

There's another world

With kings and queens



Yeah yeah



That's why you got to face the facts

That's why you gotta testify (suggested)

You gotta do and die (suggested)

It fill you up, it fill you up, it fill you up now

You got to do in that

It fill you up, it fill you up, it fill you up now

You got to sing with the music and groove

You got to turn on the music and groove

Every every every day



You know what I'm talking about (spoken)

It fill you up, it fill you up (spoken)



It fill you up, it fill you up, it fill you up now

Yeah!

It fill you up, it fill you up, it fill you up now

Yeah!

It fill you up, it fill you up, it fill you up now

Get you rolling in the money

It fill you up, it fill you up, it fill you up now

Work out a few kinks

It fill you up, it fill you up, it fill you up now

It fill you up to the brim Jim

It fill you up, it fill you up, it fill you up now

Lord have mercy

It fill you up, it fill you up, it fill you up now

It fill you up, it fill you up, it fill you up now

Come here baby

It fill you up, it fill you up, it fill you up now


THE DOORS lyrics - Adolf Hitler



Adolf Hitler is still alive

Ooooogh - sssssh

I slept with her last night

Yeah



Come out from behind

That false mustache, Adolf

I know your're in there

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha

You favor life

He sides with Death

I straddle the fence

And my balls hurt


BEASTIE BOYS lyrics - Resolution Time



(Beastie Boys)



Actin' like the last generation on earth

You're gonna fuck up a place for new birth

You're cutting the last of the forests on the planet

Only a few hundred years since Columbus landed

Well it's due time that we look and pay attention

As the windows who knows show the knowledge with us

'Cause it's the one that we prayed for, from on the earth

I give the wisdom to folks, you know whole worth

In these great times we still neglect

When they invent this land, don't give the due respect

'Cause the FBI and the CIA

The whole federal government, the FDA

Well, the system doesn't work and it must be changed

And there's more people in the pen everyday

So I visualize resolution

Yo, everyday is in a state of evolution



Evolution time

Evolution time

Revolution time

Revolution time

Revelation time

Revelation time

Resolution time

Resolution



We come a long way with the peace in the East

But on the home front, they're wild in the streets

As it gets got hear a changing in same

And this is the Millennium still felt today

I hear the same stories time after time

The stories of fear, through violent crimes

Committed by hatred by satient beings

Who shall loose by kindness and it's plain to see

Now we don't have to stand for this oppression any longer

If we stand together, there's nothing stronger

We must interconnect it as though we sure have won

If we want to avoid planetary destruction

So I work and I work because the hate in my mind

Has assumed the truth and I know I'll find

And I visualize resolution

See it all as a state of constant evolution



Evolution time

Evolution time

Revolution time

Revolution time

Revelation time

Revelation time

Resolution time

Resolution



The world leaders were terrified of loosing their pride

Their spoiled children tellin' little wack lies

Vanishing numbers of unimaginable destruction

Sure as we boast they're at their last production

Threatening and challenging nature against nation

Walkin' down the road of total annihilation

Sprouting threats is insecure

Guns are for the fighting and they're immature

And it all stems from self-important police

Thinking that we're better than our fellow human beings

So I wanna empower the limit I can

And pass it along so we can do pass the pan

Some times I sit and I watch my mind

Watchin' my thoughts as they reel and wind

And stop and visualize resolution

For everyday is in a state of evolution



Evolution time

Evolution time

Revolution time

Revolution time

Revelation time

Revelation time

Resolution time

Resolution

My other nigga turned Evangelist

But I can't quit cause I'm on some Evander shit

Fuck the money and the white sand and shit

When it's said and done you gunna understand this shit

Your man talking about Hummers and little cars

That only fit in his little house little garage

His lifestyle is just a little mirage

He the type of cat that never had a menage

Backrub, you know a little massage

Tight shit you get when you Head Nigga in charge

I'm in the Rolls listening to the bars

Leaned back wit a chick smoking on cigars

From Bogota, Colombia, chicks from Panama

The diamond fellow, mami hello

Pull up in the drop my Ferrari yellow

Pull off your top make it shake like Jello



[Chorus: Pharrell Williams (Lenny Kravitz)]

DROP EVERYTHING!! When you walk in the door

[Verse: Pharrell Williams]

I'm sitting on your Louie bag, now you're braining it

Lookin like your little sister came that painted it

That Rolls Royce Phantom, it ain't no joke ma

Weed brownie at 2, but I will not smoke ma

Don't talk about licking if it ain't deepthroat ma

I give you great dick, I make your face flip

Then take ya aboard a nigga Spaceship

Star Trak, my fault I mean Mother Ship

Put on the cameras, try it you'll be loving it

And you can bring your girl and we can get on another tit

Or down in Florida wit the Maranello

Driving slow watch the mami mouthing "hello"

Trying to get +Dirty+ like +Aguilera+

Yep, he's a skater the kids that's rhyming

But I'm also young and rich wit a big ass diamond



[Chorus]

And power from here to upstate

So why niggaz stay wit tough faces?

I stay trying to figure what Loon and Puff make



[Verse: P. Diddy]

Bitch please! you ain't been in a helicopter

Flying 'round Jesus statue wit a mountain in Brazil

Bitch please! you ain't never been to Guatemala

Eating shrimp by the dollar taking flights to Negril

Bitch please! and you ain't been wit Lenny and Pharrell

Me and Loon in the hills giving mami's the chills

THE SEX PISTOLS lyrics - Belsen Was A Gas



(S. Jones, P. Cook, J. Rotten, S. Vicious)



Belsen was a gas I heard the other day

In the open graves where the jews all lay

Life is fun and I wish you were here

They wrote on postcards to those held dear



oh dear



Sergeant majors on the march

Wash their bodies in the starch

See them all die one by one

Guess it's dead guess it's glad



Belsen was a gas I heard the other day

In the open graves where the jews all lay

Life is fun and I wish you were here

They wrote on postcards to those held dear



oh dear



Be a man

Be a man

Belsen was a gas

Be a man - kill someone

Be a man kill yourself


BON JOVI lyrics - Last Man Standing



Come see a living, breathing spectacle only seen right here

It's your last chance in this lifetime, the line forms at the rear

You won't believe your eyes

Your eyes will not believe your ears

Get your money out, get ready

Step right up, yeah you, come here



You ain't seen nothing like him, he's the last one of the breed

Better hold on to your, honey

Honeys, don't forget to breathe

Enter at your own risk, mister

It might change the way you think

There's no dancers, there's no diamonds

No, this boy don't lip synch



Here's the last man standing

Step right up, here's the real thing

The last chance of a lifetime

Come and see, hear, feel... the real thing



See those real live calloused fingers wrapped around those guitar strings

Kiss the lips where hurt has lingered

It breaks your heart to hear them sing

The songs were more than music, they were pictures from the soul

So keep your pseudo-punk, hip-hop, pop-rock junk

And your digital downloads



Here's the last man standing

Step right up, here's the real thing

The last chance of a lifetime

To come and see, hear, feel... the real thing



Take your seats, now folks - it's showtime

Hey, Patrick, hit the lights

There's something in the air, there's magic in the night

Now here's the band, the really play

I'll count the first one in

I don't know where it's going

We all know where it's been



Here's the last man standing

Step right up, here's the real thing

The last chance of a lifetime

To come and see, hear, feel...

The last man standing

Step right up, here's the real thing

The last chance of a lifetime

Come and see, hear, feel...

The real thing, the real thing, the real thing, the real thing...

THE HOLLIES lyrics - Look Through Any Window



Look through any window yeah, what do you see?

Smilin' faces all around rushin' through the busy town



(Where do they go) movin' on their way

Walkin' down the highways and the by-ways

(Where do they go) movin' on their way

People with their shy ways and their sly ways



Oh you can see the little children all around

Oh you can see the little ladies in their gowns when you



Look through any window yeah, any time of day

See the drivers on the roads pullin' down their heavy loads



(Where do they go) movin' on their way

Drivin' down highways and the by-ways

(Where do they go) movin' on their way

Drivers with their shy ways and their sly ways



Oh you can see the little children all around

Oh you can see the little ladies in their gowns when you



Look through any window yeah, what do you see?

Smiling faces all around rushin' through the busy town



(Where do they go)

Movin' on their way

Movin' on their way

Movin' on their way


AMY GRANT lyrics - Sweet Will Of God



My stubborn will at last has yielded

I would be thine and thine alone

And this prayer my lips are bringing

Lord, let in me thy will be done



[Chorus:]

Sweet will of God, unfold me closer

Til I am wholely lost in thee

Sweet will of God, still fold me closer

Ti I am wholely lost in thee



I am tired of sin, footsore and weary

The darksome path hath dreary grown

But now a light has risen to cheer me

I find in thee my Star, my sun



[Chorus]



Thy precious will, O conquering Savior

Doth now embrace and compass me

The storms have ceased, my peace a river

My soul a prisoned bird set free


D. J. JAZZY JEFF & THE FRESH PRINCE lyrics - The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air



Now this is a story all about how

My life got flipped turned upside down

And I'd like to take a minute just sit right there

I'll tell you how I become the prince of a town called Bel Air



In west Philadelphia born and raised

On the playground is where I spent most of my days

Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool

And all shootin' some b-ball outside of the school

When a couple of guys who were up to no good

Started makin' trouble in my neighborhood

I got in one little fight and my mon scared

And said you're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air

I begged and pleaded with her day after day

But she packed my suitcase and sent me on my way

She give me a kiss and then she gave me my ticket

Put my walkman on and said I might as well kick it

First class yo this is bad

Drinkin' orange juice out of a champagne glass

Is this what the people of Bel Air live like

Hmmm this might be all right

But wait I hear they're prissy???? and all that

Is this the type of place that they should send this cool cat

I don't think so I'll see when I get there

I hope they're prepared for the prince of Bel Air



Well uh the plane landed and when I came out

There was a dude looked like a cop standin' there with my name out

I ain't tryin' to get arrested yet I just got here

I sprang with the quickness like lightening disapeared

I whistled for a cab and when it came near

The licensce plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror

If anything I could say that this cab was rare

But I thought man forget it yo homes to Bel Air



I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8

And I yelled to the cabbie yo homes smell ya later

Looked at my kingdom I was finally there

To sit on my throne as the prince of Bel Air


JOAN ARMATRADING lyrics - Free



Everything I try to give you

Everything I try to do

There's no pleasing you

You want the stars in the morning

And the sun dead of night

You place immovable objects

In my plain sight



Well I'm giving you your freedom

Though I never owned you

Nor wanted to

Hey hey hey hey



You're free

Now enjoy your freedom

Don't call me up

For cheap advice

You're free

Make your own decisions

You live your life

And let me live mine



Never held out on affection

Gave you most material things

There's no pleasing you

You called me your lover

Did I treat you that bad

You really want me to suffer

But I can take so much



Well I'm giving you your freedom

Though I never owned you

Nor wanted to

Hey hey hey hey



You're free

Now enjoy your freedom

Don't call me up

For cheap advice

You're free

Make your own decisions

You live your life

And let me live mine

Please


MARILLION lyrics - Interior Lulu



(Helmer/Hogarth/Kelly/Mosley/Rothery/Trewavas)



As you lie there on your bed

Beneath the face of Louise Brooks

With your makeup and your teddy bear

And your C. S. Lewis books

Bad seed

You're a bad seed

You're a decadent in chrysalis

Waiting sleepily to emerge

When you'll visit every seedy need

Of your random obsessive urge



All the ruses that you use

All the food that you refuse

All the dust and tired air that feeds Interior Lulus

All the poisoned attitudes

And the lust for the unknown

And the second best that devils use

To make this world their own

Interior Lulu

Interior Lulu



Every rainy day by e-mail

As you lie there on your bed

Another virtual page arrives

There will be times when you remember me

Of the chapters you'll be writing

As the voices echo in your head

In the book called wasted lives

As you read Henry and Anais



All the lost weekends and booze

All the finger-and-thumb screws

All the sleepless worn out blues that bruise Interior Lulus

Interior Lulu

Interior Lulu



Use the anger

Paint a picture of it

Throw the colours

Use the pain, use the pain



Scream back a brand new emotion

As it runs across the skin

Fire across paper

Burn and curl, burn and curl



You thought you couldn't feel like this

But it's happening again and you're waking up in pain

Tattooed in that private place

Microsoft and tears

Intimately pierced



Discovering and remembering

You felt like this somewhere before

Stirrin' up the bed of the river

Somewhere you don't like to go



You wrote this down so many times

But you get up anyway and you write it down again

You've bored us all to death with this

Well who you gonna tell

When you've nothing left to sell



She says she's lonely

She says she knows me

But she's a one-way street



She told me what I already know



"If you can carry it out you can take it away

If you can carry it out you can take it away

If you can buy it, it can be bought

If you can buy it, it can be stolen

If you can break it

It's already broken"



Lately, I can stand to hear other people talking

So many empty conversations

What a waste of lips



Lately I can stand to stand on Primrose Hill

Look down upon the city

A heart pumping the roads



In our racing stripes

We rejoice at being "connected"

Without touching

Thank god for the internet



We stare at our screens

All our lives

What a waste of eyes

'Till the electrical storm blows our fuses

And we gaze, dumbfounded, at the rain



All the trust and tired care

Left to rust and go nowhere

All this gold beneath my skin

Sparklin' like sin somewhere within

In so deep

In so deep that

I can't sleep for these interior Lu lu lu lu lus

MORRISSEY lyrics - Why Don't You Find Out For Yourself



The sanest days are mad

why don't you find out for yourself

then you'll see the price

very closely

some men here

they have a special interest

in your career

they wanna help you to grow

then syphon all your dough

why don't you find out for yourself

then you'll see the glass

hidden in the grass

you'll never believe me, so

why don't you find out for yourself

sick down to my heart

that's just the way it goes

some men here

they know the full extent of

your distress

they kneel and pray

and they say:

"long may it last"

why don't you find out for yourself

then you'll see the glass

hidden in the grass

bad scenes come and go

for which you must allow

sick down to my heart

that's just the way it goes

Don't rake up my mistakes

I know exactly what they are

and...what do YOU do?

well...you just SIT THERE

I've been stabbed in the back

so many many times

I don't have any skin

but that's just the way it goes

LORETTA LYNN AND CONWAY TWITTY lyrics - When I Turn Off My Lights



(L. E. White - B. J. White - Tommy Markham)



Let's forget unpleasent memories let them lie there in the past

Make believe here in my arms is where you belong

Yes I need you to love me each night when I'm alone

When I turn off my light your mem'ry turns on

I return the love she gives me till you mem'ry gets so strong

I exist in a house where I don't feel at home

How can love feel so right and still feel so wrong

When I turn off my light your mem'ry turns on

When I turn off my light your mem'ry turns on

Then I turn and reach for you and again find you're gone

But you stay with her she loves you and she's never done you wrong

When I turn off my light your mem'ry turns on

Still when I turn off my light your mem'ry turns on


URIAH HEEP lyrics - In The Moment



(Box/Lanzon)



Here we are

Once more in a world full of fantasy

Dream again

You need to believe in a future

That's bright as the sun

Shining there for you

Shining there for me

I am the mountain high, I am the sea



In the moment you take possession

It'll all disappear and there's the lesson

And the minute you think it's over

Say the word and your dream

Is coming back



All the way

I followed the road that was real to me

And suddenly

You take it for granted

And things don't turn out

Like you planned

When you think you've found

What is good and true

Through the open door

It can really turn on you



So here we are

We look for the light in so many eyes

And in our life

When hope starts to fade

There's a strength that

We give to each other

Walking in the sky over everyone

Head above the coulds

As we're touching the sun


B. B. KING lyrics - It's My Own Fault



(John Lee Hooker)



It's my own fault, baby

Treat me the way you wanna do



It's my own fault, baby

Treat me the way you wanna do

Yes when you were loving me, baby (woman)

At that time, little girl, I didn't love you



She used to make her own pay checks

And bring them all home to me

I would go out on the hillside, you know

And make every woman look I see



It's my own fault, baby

Treat me the way you wanna do

Yes when you were loving me, baby (woman)

At that time, little girl, I didn't love you



She said she was gonna leave me

She'd been running around with the boys

She said she was gonna leave me

Gonna be over in Illinois



It's my own fault, baby

Treat me the way you wanna do

Yes when you were loving me, baby (woman)

At that time, little girl, I didn't love you


MIKE AND THE MECHANICS lyrics - Look Across At Dreamland



Look across at dreamland

Can you see the light

Look in the reflection

For something bright

Look up to the heavens

Can you see the stars?

You know you're here

But you don't know who you are



Look across at dreamland

Tell me what you see

Can you see the river

Flowing free?

Gaze upon the water

Can you see the truth?

You know it's here

But don't know if it's you

You may be someone

Who's needing someone to love

To love



Look across at dreamland

Can you see yourself?

Can you tell there's magic

With someone else?

Look up to the heavens

That's the mystery

It's up there, it's here

With you and me

If you're with someone

Who gives you someone to love

To love



Look across at dreamland

Can you see the stars?

You know you're here

But you don't know who you are



Look across at dreamland

Can you see the stars?

You know you're here

But you don't know who you are


THE CHURCH lyrics - Tranquility



I heard about Maria, she hated the rat race

And she escaped to a beautiful place

Birds of neo-paradise groove in the trees

The name of her town is Tranquility



Protected by her mantra

Following the formula

In the sun thy will be done



And chasing her rainbows

Talking with the animals

Who say "You see, it's Tranquility"



Under shifting dimensions horizon returns

Smoke in the distance as Babylon burns

Summer in the river scattering the net

And long to remember that it hasn't happened yet



Protected by her mantra

Following the orchestra

In the sun thy will be done



Chasing her rainbows

Talking with the animals

Who say "You see, it's Tranquility"



Protected by her mantra

Following the nebula

In the sun thy will be done



Chasing her rainbows

Talking with the animals

Who say "You see, it's Tranquility"



Boys I've had enough

There's no more smooth just rough

Don't go looking for me

Leave me

In Tranquility


BARCLAY JAMES HARVEST lyrics - Who Do We Think We Are?



All around we're caught in the light of a thousand suns

Riding the wind of eternal years

Watching the Earth die before our eyes

Hearing the world crying in our ears

We kill the trees, now there isn't any rainfall

And there's burning sand where the cornfields were before

We poison seas, pouring oil on troubled waters

And the air we breathe doesn't taste good any more



We kill the land 'till there isn't any food to eat

And we fire our guns and we're fighting all our wars

See the children die like a movie on the silver screen

Now the air we breathe doesn't taste good any more



Too bad, look at your life

We are sinking in the water

Turn back, look at the time

Cast adrift on the open sea

Once more into the night

Nothing left for your sons and your daughters

We're on our ship called Earth for all eternity



Too bad, look at your life

We are sinking in the water

Turn back, look at the time

Cast adrift on the open sea

Once more into the night

Nothing left for your sons and your daughters

We're on our ship called Earth for all eternity



All around we're travelling the universe

Do we believe there's someone watching over us

Can we be sure?

Who do we think we are?



(We are the chosen people

We are the chosen ones)



All around we're travelling the universe

Do we believe there's someone watching over us

Can we be sure?

Who do we think we are?


METALLICA lyrics - Hero Of The Day



(Hetfield / Ulrich / Hammett)



Mama, they try and break me



The window burns to light the way back home

A light that warms no matter where they've gone

They're off to find the hero of the day

But what if they should fall by someone's wicked way?



Still the window burns

Time so slowly turns

And someone there is sighing

Keepers of the flames

Do you feel your name?

Did you hear your babies crying?



Mama, they try and break me

Still they try and break me



Excuse me while I tend to how

I feel

These things return to me that still seem real

Now, deservingly, this easy chair

But the rocking stopped by wheels of despair



Don't want your aid

But the fist I make

For years can't hold or feel

No, I'm not all me

So please excuse me while I tend to how I feel



But now the dreams and waking screams

That ever last the night

So build the wall, behind it crawl

And hide until it's light

So can you hear your babies crying now?



Still the window burns

Time so slowly turns

And someone there is sighing

Keepers of the flames

Did you feel your names?

Did you hear your babies crying?



But now the dreams and waking screams

That ever last the night

So build a wall, behind it crawl

And hide until it's light

So can't you hear your babies crying now?



Mama, they try and break me

Mama, they try and break me

Mama they try

Mama they try


BARRY MANILOW lyrics - A Gift Of Love



Here in this sighlent night

Now all the world is right

As if we'sundenley been giving

A gift of love

A gift of love



Warm as the fire glow

Soft as the falling snow

A pre..... micael we live in

This wonder of a gift of love



Night falls

At this coldest time of the year

Love calls



Here where I love you so

Now as our blessings grow

We shear the greatest gift we'll ever know

A gift of love



A gift of love

IGGY POP lyrics - Brick By Brick



People are so sad and I know why

With no chance to live before you die

You get pretty sick if you hafta

Keep it inside



I wanna build a house where an ad don't scream

I wanna live in peace-quietly

I wanna have a place of love and safety

People oughta live how and where they want

People oughta have respect in front

People oughta get along pretty O. K.



So get off my dick

I'm building it brick by brick

Brick by brick



I'm building a house where I can think

And have some balance and dignity

I'm building a house where no one can hurt me

I'm huilding a house where the weak are strong

I'm building a house with a real song

I'm using faith that is immortal

I'm building it with simplicity

And the way that we feel, you and me

I'm buidling it with what I believe in



So get off my dick

I'm building it brick by brick

Brick by brick



Now I'm looking at just a little time

So be it-I want to

Be true to my simple heart

And not put nothing else above it

Brick by brick

Brick by brick

Brick by brick

Brick by brick

Brick by brick by brick


MICHAEL BOLTON lyrics - How Am I Supposed To Live Without You



I could hardly believe it

When I heard the news today

I had to come and get it straight from you

They said you were leavin'

Someone's swept your heart away

From the look upon your face, I see it's true

So tell me all about it, tell me 'bout the

plans you're makin'

Then tell me one thing more before I go



[Chorus:]

Tell me how am I supposed to live without you

Now that I've been lovin' you so long

How am I supposed to live without you

How am I supposed to carry on

When all that I've been livin' for is gone



I didn't come here for cryin'

Didn't come here to break down

It's just a dream of mine is coming to an end

And how can I blame you

When I build my world around

The hope that one day we'd be so much

more than friends

And I don't wanna know the price I'm

gonna pay for dreaming

When even now it's more than I can take



[Chorus]



[Bridge]

And I don't wanna face the price I'm

gonna pay for dreaming

Now that your dream has come true



[Chorus]

BARBRA STREISAND lyrics - Tomorrow Night



(Yentl finds herself in an impossible

situation-and yet nothing's impossible!)

Look at me-I must be absolutely crazy!

How did 1 ever let it get this far?

Look at me! I'm getting deeper into trouble.

Am I woman or a man?

Am I a devil or a demon?

Papa was right!

I ask too many questions.

He said a soul can get perplexed-

I can't believe what happens next!

Papa was right!

It seems this little game I play

Becomes more risky every day!

Tomorrow night, tomorrow night...

Under the canopy

I'll stand with her tomorrow night!

And place a ring upon her hand

With her all dressed in white

Tomorrow night

I don't know how this came about

But I'll be wed without a doubt.

Oh, my God, I've got to get out!

Look at this-The way one lie begets another

Somebody wake me up and say

It's all a dream!

(Look at this!)

Look how easily I fool them

They may have eyes but they don't see

They never really look at me

People are blind!

How else would everyone believe me?

It might be interesting to know

Just how much further I can go

Tomorrow night, tomorrow night...

I can't believe what I'll presume to be

Tomorrow night,

I'm not the bride but I'm the groom to be

Tomorrow night,

And that's a monumental trick

I'd better think of something quick

(Oh, my God, I'm feeling sick!

I could run away

I could leave without a trace,

Go anywhere or any place

Where no one knows my face.

As a woman or a man?

I don't know just so I can

Run away-run away!

I'd be free-I'd be rid of all of this

But there's someone I would miss

And being near him is what this is all about!

So running away is out!

Papa dear, you dreamed of dancing

At my wedding;

But something tells me that I'm right

You wouldn't want to dance tonight!

Isn't this a strangely logical solution?

Things may not be as they appear

But the advantages are clear:

He loves her-she loves him

He likes me-I like her

And I've reasons to think she likes me.

She keeps him-he keeps her

I keep things as they were

It's a perfect arrangement for three!

Who'd have ever predicted

The moment would come

When I'd find myself grateful

They've kept women dumb!

She's an innocent maiden

But then so am I!

That's why it's possible I could get by.

Look, I've seen the impossible happen before,

So maybe, God willing, it'll happen once more.

For I feel like a train on a perilous track.

With no way to stop and no way to go back.

Like a snowball that's gathering speed down a hill,

Going faster and faster and faster until...

Tomorrow night, tomorrow night...

Even if someone would pray for me

Tomorrow night,

There's not a prayer

That they could say for me

Tomorrow night,

Tomorrow night, tomorrow night...

Tomorrow night...is now tonight!


SONIC YOUTH lyrics - Kool Thing



Kool Thing sittin' with a kiddie

Now you know you're sure lookin' pretty

Like a lover not a dancer

Superboy take a chance here

I don't wanna, I don't think so

I don't wanna, I don't think so



Kool Thing let me play it with your radio

Move me, turn me on, baby-o

I'll be your slave

Give you a shave

I don't wanna, I don't think so

I don't wanna, I don't think so

[Chuck D]

Yeah, tell'em about it,

Hit'em where it hurts

Hey, Kool Thing, come here, sit down

There's something I go to ask you.

I just wanna know, what are you gonna do for me?

I mean, are you gonna liberate us girls

From male white corporate oppression?

Tell it like it is!

Huh?

Yeah!

Don't be shy

Word up!

Fear of a female planet?

Fear of a female planet?

Fear, baby!

I just want to know that we can still be friends

Come on, come on, come on, come on let everybody know

Kool thing, kool thing



When you're a star, I know you'll fix everything

Now you know you're sure lookin' pretty

Rock the beat just a little faster

Now I know you are the master

I don't wanna, I don't think so

I don't wanna, I don't think so



Kool thing walkin' like a panther

Come on and give me an answer

Kool thing walkin' like a panther

What'd he say?

I don't wanna, I don't think so

I don't wanna, I don't think so
