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
(I thought it was me) I thought it was me who makes the girl this way
(I thought it was me) I came to find out she's like that every day

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
B-B-D (B. B.D.)

Yo' Ron, what's up with at
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
(I thought it was me) I came to find out she's like that every day

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
The way your running round
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

[Guitar solo]
You know I can't stand it
I can't stand it
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
Because your mine
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

Hey yo, ladies and gentlemen

[Verse: P. Diddy]
Hey yo I'm back by popular demand and shit

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

Ah be a maniac-ah! lose control (just lose control)

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]
[Bridge]
[Verse: Loon]
Hey yo my intro's crazy, I'm in a new Mercedes

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

Eating shrimp by the dollar taking flights to Negril

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
