GLEN CAMPBELL lyrics - Times Like These
[Originally by Foo Fighters]
I, I'm a one way motorway
I'm a road that drives away
Then follows you back home
I, I'm a street light shining
I'm a wild light blinding bright
Burning off alone
(Uh huh huh)
It's times like these you learn to live again
It's times like these you give and give again
It's times like these you learn to love again
It's times like these time and time again
I, I'm a new day rising
I'm a brand new sky
To hang the stars upon tonight
I, I'm a little divided
Do I stay or run away
And leave it all behind?
(Uh huh huh)
It's times like these you learn to live again
It's times like these you give and give again
It's times like these you learn to love again
It's times like these time and time again
(Oh [11x])
(Uh huh huh)
It's times like these you learn to live again
It's times like these you give and give again
It's times like these you learn to love again
It's times like these time and time again
It's times like these time and time again
It's times like these time and time again
THE PARTRIDGE FAMILY lyrics - Girl, You Make My Day
(Tommy Boyce & Bobby Hart)
I can't start my day, girl, without thinkin' about ya
I wake up in the mornin' and you're there on my mind
I've been dreamin' about ya
You start feelings runnin' through my head that need no explanation
And the sweetness of your smile has captured my heart
It's such a crazy sensation
[Chorus:]
Whoa, girl, you make my day
You're the smile on my face, you're the look in my eyes
You're every breath that I take
Whoa, girl, you make my day
And I love you so much, I'll prove it in a thousand ways
You don't know what it does to my heart when you're walkin' beside me
I feel like a man who could conquer the world, girl
When you're there to guide me
You're the sunshine that I hold deep inside me when I'm cold
You're my tears and my laughter
You're a thousand different girls that I've loved in different worlds
You're my forever and after
[Chorus 2x]
NINE INCH NAILS lyrics - Sanctified
It's still getting worse after everything I tried
What if I found a way to wash it all aside
What if she touches with those fingertips
As the words spill out like fire from her lips
If she says come inside I'll come inside for her
If she says give it all I'll give everything to her
I am justified
I am purified
I am sanctified
Inside you
Heaven's just a rumor she'll dispel
As she walks me through the nicest parts of hell
I still dream of lips I never should have never kissed
Well she knows exactly what I can't resist
If she says come inside I'll come inside for her
If she says give it all I'll give everything to her
I am justified
I am purified
I am sanctified
Inside you
Dear mom and dad, this is the hardest letter I've ever had to write
I'd hoped somehow to get out of this quickly so that you'd never have to know about it, but that just isn't possible now
I don't know what's going to happen, but what can I say to you? Will I'm sorry make a difference? Will it ease the pain?
The shame you must be feeling forgive me please
I'm just caught up in another of her spells
She's turning me into someone else
Everyday I hope and pray this will end
But when I can I do it all again
If she says come inside I'll come inside for her
If she says give it all I'll give everything to her
I am justified
I am purified
I am sanctified
Inside you
As surely as the blades course is run
Maybe my kingdom's finally come

YELLO lyrics - Tangier Blue
Dreaming of you all the colours of light
I'm fading away you drive me home tonight
We never get lost, you stay on the ground
We never get in just turning around
[Whispered:] Shining light
THE STOOGES lyrics - Dirt
Ooh, I been dirt
And I don't care
Ooh, I been dirt
And I don't care
'Cause I'm burning inside
I'm just a yearning inside
And I'm the fire o' life
Ooh, I've been hurt
And I don't care
Ooh, I've been hurt
And I don't care
'Cause I'm burning inside
I'm just a dreaming this life
And do you feel it?
Said do you feel it when you touch me?
Said do you feel it when you touch me?
There's a fire
Well, it's a fire
It was just a burning
Yeah, alright
Ooh!
Burning inside
Burning
Just a dreaming
Just a dreaming
It was just a dreaming
It was just a dreaming
Play it for me, babe, with love!
RICHARD LLOYD lyrics - Pretend
(Lloyd, Mastro, Smith, DeNunzio)
Pretend everything's fine,
Pretend that you are still mine,
Pretend you'll never change.
It was such a long time ago,
Then you turn around
And you still believe in dreams.
Pretend everything's right
Pretend that we never fight,
Pretend, but you don't comprehend.
It was such a long time ago,
And you turn around
And you are still dreaming.
I fall in love just dreaming,
And I dream
And never
And fall in love it's just pretending.
Pretend everything's fine,
Pretend that you are still mine,
Pretend, but you don't comprehend
It was such a long time ago,
Then you turn around
And you still believe in dreams.
Dreaming...
Just dreaming...
PATTY LOVELESS lyrics - Jealous Bone
Somewhere deep down inside of my heart
Makes me feel things that tear me apart
Got a jealous bone
Got a jealous bone
Ever since you walked into my life
Can't bear to see you out of my site
Got a jealous bone
Got a jealous bone
And I know I'm gonna run you off
If I don't learn to let you go
But oooh oh you make me lose control
I was born, with a jealous bone
See heads turn when you walk in the room
I know what they're thinkin' 'cause I'm thinkin' it too
Got a jealous bone
Got a jealous bone
I feel blood pound all through my veins
Every last part of me is callin' your name
Got a jealous bone
Got a jealous bone
And I know I'm gonna run you off
If I don't learn to let you go
But oooh ooh you make me lose control
I was born. with a jealous one
Jealous bone
Jealous bone
Jealous bone
Got a jealous bone
Got to have you baby
All to myself
Can't stand the thought of you
With anyone else
Got a jealous bone
Jealous bone
Jealous bone
Got a jealous bone
Jealous bone
Got a jealous bone
Jealous bone
Got a jealous bone

JONI MITCHELL lyrics - My Secret Place
(Joni Mitchell)
I'm going to take you to
My special place
It's a place that you
Like no one else I know
Might appreciate
I don't go there with anyone-but
You're a special case
For my special place
For my secret place
People talk to tell you something
Or to take up space
Guess I'm only talking
To be talking to
Your pretty face
I don't talk much to anyone-but
You're a special case
For my special place
My secret place
I was born and raised
In New York City
I'm just getting used to Colorado-
Oh street bravado
Carry me
Why did you bring me to
A place so wild and pretty?
Are there pigeons in this park-
Muggers after dark-
In these golden trees-
In the secret place?
I'm going to take you to
My special place
It's a place no amount of hurt and anger
Can deface
I put things back together there
It all falls right in place-
In my special space
My special place
Once I saw a film
In New York City
That was shot in Colorado-
Girl meets desperado
In the trembling mountain trees
Out of all of the girls that you see
In bleachers and cafe windows
Sitting-flirting with someone
Looking to have some fun
Why did you pick me?
For the secret place
GRATEFUL DEAD lyrics - Stella Blue
All the years combine, they melt into a dream,
A broken angel sings from a guitar.
In the end there's just a song comes cryin' up the night
Thru all the broken dreams and vanished years.
Stella blue. Stella blue.
When all the cards are down, there's nothing left to see,
There's just the pavement left and broken dreams.
In the end there's still that song comes cryin' like the wind.
Down every lonely street that's ever been
Stella blue. Stella blue.
I've stayed in every blue-light cheap hotel, can't win for trying.
Dust off those rusty strings just one more time,
Gonna make them shine, shine
It all rolls into one and nothing comes for free,
There's nothing you can hold, for very long.
And when you hear that song come crying like the wind,
It seems like all this life was just a dream.
Stella blue. Stella blue.

BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD lyrics - Carefree Country Day
I get up in the morning with a cock-a-doodle-do,
I get myself together if and when I chose.
I'm just buckin time, without a reason or ryme,
Oh what a wonderful way,
To spend a carefree country day
I got to have it that way.
I best get all my chores done, got some friends a commin' by.
There's a lot of country livin in just trying to get by,
I'm just buckin time, without a reason or ryme,
Oh what a wonderful way,
To spend a carefree country day
I got to have it that way.
I make myself a livin' off a haulin' on junk,
A man can live on thrivin from searchin' the dump.
I'm just buckin time, without a reason or ryme,
Oh what a wonderful way,
To spend a carefree country day
I've got to have it that way.
DEAN MARTIN lyrics - I Want You
I want the highest star to travel far
The things the world has seen
And speaking of the things the world has seen
I want you
I want a rajah's jewel, a swimming pool
The rarest treasures known
And speaking of the rarest treasures known
I want you
So soft your touch so sweet your kiss
So tender are your charms
And when my love I hold you near
The world is in my arms
I want a rainbow's gold a heart to hold
The greatest love of all
And speaking of the greatest love of all
I want you
So soft your touch so sweet your kiss
So tender are your charms
And when my love I hold you near
The world is in my arms
I want the rainbow's gold a heart to hold
The greatest love of all
And speaking of the greatest love of all
I want you
R. E.M. lyrics - Tongue
Call my name, here I come.
90 to nothing, watch me run.
You call.
I am ashamed to say.
Ugly girls know their fate.
Anybody can get laid.
You want a room with a fire escape.
I want to tell you how much I hate this.
Don't leave that stuff all over me. It pains me.
Please just leave it.
I should toss that vanity license plate.
Toss that make-up painted face.
Box those poems, chocolate cake.
Scratch that name on the record player.
Please just leave me be.
Don't lay that stuff all over me.
It crawls all over. All over me.
Call my name, here I come.
Your last ditch lay, will I never learn?
Caramel turn on a dusty apology.
It crawls all over me.
You turn all over.
It pains me.
Please just leave it.
R. E.M. lyrics - Daysleeper
Receiving department, 3 a. m.
Staff cuts have socked up the overage
Directives are posted.
No callbacks, complaints.
Everywhere is calm.
Hong Kong is present
Taipei awakes
All talk of circadian rhythm
I see today with a newsprint fray
My night is colored headache grey
Daysleeper
The bull and the bear are marking their territories
They're leading the blind with their international glories
I'm the screen, the blinding light
I'm the screen, I work at night.
I see today with a newsprint fray
My night is colored headache grey
Don't wake me with so much.
Daysleeper.
I cried the other night
I can't even say why
Fluorescent flat caffeine lights
Its furious balancing
I'm the screen, the blinding light
I'm the screen, I work at night
I see today with a newsprint fray
My night is colored headache grey
Don't wake me with so much.
The ocean machine is set to nine
I'll squeeze into heaven and valentine
My bed is pulling me,
Gravity
Daysleeper. Daysleeper.
Daysleeper. Daysleeper. Daysleeper.
FRANK ZAPPA lyrics - Jezebel Boy
[includes quotes from Perry Mason Theme (Steiner) and Jingle Bells (Pierpont)]
[Tower Theater, Upper Darby, PA
February 13, 1988]
Jezebel Boy!
You know all the guys
In the Sheriff's Patrol
They leave you alone
When they round up the whores
Up on Hollywood Boulebard
(What?
Now this is what happens in Los Angeles. . . )
Sometimes that ol' nasty D. A., you say
Thinks he needs his name
In the paper again -
That's when
The short-pants girls
They have to take that ride
With a friendly, friendly policeman
But the Jezebel Boy
On the corner by the Technicolor processing plant
He stands by the light;
Waitin' through that night
Waitin', waitin' for that, that distinguished-looking
Wilshire District Gentleman
With snow-white hair,
("Maybe I could make a good rock star")
To drive up in his Lincoln,
And whisk away the Jezebel Boy
There he goes now!
Old Ralph will make him put that wretched
Sausage in his mouth again
Ike: Hah hah hah! Hah hah hah!
FZ: Go ahead!
Ike: Hah hah hah!
FZ: Want that again?
Ike: Yeah, sure!
Old Ralph will make him put that wretched
Sausage in his mouth again
And again
(Again again)
Aaaaand. . . one mo' gin
Well, hah! Well, you know they say. . .
Another day,
Another sausage -
Jezebel Boy

DOLLY PARTON lyrics - Only Dreamin'
Oh I know, I'm only dreaming.
'Cos I'll awake, and you'll be gone.
And my tears will still be streaming.
As my broken, heart beats on.
Yes I know, I'm only dreaming.
But I'll just, keep dreaming on.
I will dream about the pleasures.
That we shared in days gone by.
And I'll remember and I'll treasure,
Every kiss and your kind eyes.
And I will dream that you still hold me,
In your arms as you did then.
And I recall each thing you told me,
Hear your voice as I did then.
Yes I know, I'm only dreaming.
But I'll dream, and I will too.
I'll be here, and I'll be waiting,
And I will dream, of your return.
Some will say I'm being foolish,
While some will say that I'm just blind.
And that I want to face what the truth is
That you are, no longer mine.
But I will dream, your brave retallion
To some sweet day, to their surprise.
You will say your love's still burning,
You'll dry each tear drop from my eyes.
But I know, I'm only dreaming,
Cause I'll awake and be alone.
And my tears will still be streaming,
And you will still be just as gone.
Yes I know I'm only dreaming,
But I must keep dreaming... on
QUIET RIOT lyrics - Demolition Derby
We're gonna take you to a demolition derby (yeah)
It's on a Saturday night and the boys want to rock
Gotta get some action, not yourself
Meet you at the ally
Everybody get about at night
School's out and we can't keep still
Gotta hold myself back and wait until
Tonight's the night
All hell's gonna break loose
We're gonna take you to a demolition derby
We're gonna make you topsy-turvy
We're gonna take you to a demolition derby
Now now now now now now now
The neighbors are screamin' "hey, stop that noise"
Give 'em a wink and shout "kill him, boys"
My daddy saw me now
He wouldn't let me out for a week
Trooby's got a sprain and Blondy's got his back
Noodle's with his action, better watch him for that
I've got my shoe shine in my pocket
Everybody's ready, let's go
We're gonna take you to a demolition derby
We're gonna make you topsy-turvy
We're gonna take you to a demolition derby
Now now now now right now
We're gonna take you to a demolition derby
We're gonna make you topsy-turvy
We're gonna take you to a demolition derby
Now now now now now now now NOW!
No no nooooooooooo!!
We're gonna take you to a demolition derby
We're gonna make you topsy-turvy
We're gonna take you to a demolition derby
Now now now now now now
We're gonna take you to a demolition derby
We're gonna make you topsy-turvy
We're gonna take you to a demolition derby
Now now now now now now now
We're gonna take you
We're gonna make you
We're gonna take you to a demolition derby
Now now now now now now now now
Now now now now now now now now
Now now now now now now now now
Now now now now now now now now
Now now now now now now now now

DIONNE WARWICK lyrics - Walk On By
If you see me walking down the street
And I start to cry each time we meet
Walk on by, walk on by
Make believe
that you don't see the tears
Just let me grieve
in private 'cause each time I see you
I break down and cry
And walk on by (don't stop)
And walk on by (don't stop)
And walk on by
I just can't get over losing you
And so if I seem broken and blue
Walk on by, walk on by
Foolish pride
Is all that I have left
So let me hide
The tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said goodbye
Walk on by
and walk on by
and walk by (don't stop)
Walk on by, walk on by
Foolish pride
Is all that I have left
So let me hide
The tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said goodbye
Walk on by (don't stop)
and walk on by (don't stop)
and walk by (don't stop)
ELOY lyrics - Awakening
Empty hall imminent bounding
cold black stones strangely surrounding
the first touch of mornin' light
I feel a strange vibration
any sign of reincarnation?
Did I loose my past beyond the night?
Sunbeams reflect in my mind's eye
Jeanne was the sun that passed on by
vibrations hate and die above
nothing could touch me - Jeanne was
LOVE
NEIL DIAMOND lyrics - Be Mine Tonight
I never needed to hear the truth
You never wanted to know
I never wanted to be unkind
But then something kept telling me go
There was something kept telling me go
We stayed together like birds in a cage
But then one of us had to get free
But who had the heart to say goodbye
Wasn't you, so it had to be me
Wasn't you, so it had to be me
You told me to go when I wanted to stay
Making me over in every way
Telling me just what to do with my life
But oh how I wish you could be mine
Oh how I wish you would
Be mine tonight
Be mine tonight
Tonight
Be mine tonight
We never knew it for what it was worth
It was worth more than we understood
We never got past the lies and the hurt
And it hurt even when it was good
Yes it hurt even when it was good
You told me to go when I wanted to stay
Making me over in every way
Telling me just what to do with my life
But oh how I wish you could be mine
Oh how I wish you could
Be mine tonight
Be mine tonight
Tonight
Be mine tonight
Tonight
Be mine tonight
Tonight
Be mine tonight
Tonight
Be mine tonight
Tonight
Be mine tonight
Tonight
Tonight
MEGADETH lyrics - This Was My Life
(Dave Mustaine)
It was just another day
It was just another fight
It was words strung into sentences
It was doomed to not be right
There is something wrong with me
There is something wrong with you
There is nothing left of us
There is one thing I can do
[Chorus:]
Lying on your bed,
Examining my head
This is the part of me that hates
Paybacks are a bitch
I throw the switch
Somewhere an electric chair awaits
Hey! This was my life
Hey! This was my fate
This was the wrong thing to do
This was the wrong one to be doing
This was the road to destiny
This was the road to my ruin
Now there's motives for the suspect
Now there's nothing left to say
Now there's method to the madness
Now there's society to pay
[Chorus]
In our life there's if
In our beliefs there's lie
In our business there's sin
In our bodies there's die
[Solo - Dave]
This was my life
This was my fate

DIANA ROSS lyrics - Tell Me Again
(Wintley Phipps)
You alone know how I feel down deep inside
I promised you I'll never stray from by your side
But now I'm looking back on all those yesterdays
The many times I let you down
I'm begging I can hear you say
Tell me again that you love me
And you'll love me till the stars fall from the sky
Tell me again that you love me
And the love you have for me will never die
I can tell when first we start to drift apart
The emptiness just takes hold of my wounded heart
You know I need to feel you by my side
'Cause when the night is cold and I've been so bold
There's no need to hide
Just tell me again that you love me
That you'll love me till the stars fall from the sky
Tell me again that you love me
And the love you have for me will never die
And if you light the way
I will follow you into that land of gladness
No more sadness
Tell me again that you love me
That you'll love me till the stars fall from the sky
Tell me again that you love me
And the love you have for me
The love you have for me will never die

STEVEN CURTIS CHAPMAN lyrics - I Will Be Here
(Steven Curtis Chapman)
[Genesis 2:24 / Matthew 19:5-6]
Tomorrow morning if you wake up
And the sun does not appear,
I will be here.
If in the dark we lose sight of love,
Hold my hand and have no fear,
'Cause I will be here.
[Chorus:]
I will be here when you feel like being quiet;
When you need to speak your mind, I will listen.
And I will be here when the laughter turns to crying;
Through the winning, losing, and trying, we'll be together,
'Cause I will be here.
Tomorrow morning if you wake up
And the future is unclear,
I will be here.
As sure as seasons are made for change,
Our lifetimes are made for years,
So I will be here.
[Chorus:]
I will be here, and you can cry on my shoulder;
When the mirror tells us we're older, I will hold you.
And I will be here to watch you grow in beauty,
And tell you all the things you are to me;
I will be here.
I will be true to the promise I have made,
To you and to the One who gave you to me.
DOLLY PARTON lyrics - Turn, Turn, Turn (To Everything There Is A Season)
To everything
Turn, turn, turn
There is a season
Turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under Heaven
A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep
To everything
Turn, turn, turn
There is a season
Turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under Heaven
A time to build up, a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones
A time to gather stones together
To everything
Turn, turn, turn
There is a season
Turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under Heaven
A time of love, a time of hate
A time of war, a time of peace
A time you may embrace
A time to refrain from embracings
A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time to love, a time to hate
A time of peace, I swear it's not too late
CAT STEVENS lyrics - If I Laugh
If I laugh just a little bit
Maybe I can forget the chance
That I didn't have to know you
And live in peace, in peace
If I laugh just a little bit
Maybe I can forget the plans that
I didn't use to get you
At home - with me - alone
If I laugh just a little bit
Maybe I can recall the way
That I used to be, before you
And sleep at night - and dream
If I laugh, baby if I laugh
Just a little bit -

VAN MORRISON lyrics - The Way Young Lovers Do
We strolled through fields all wet with rain
And back along the lane again
There in the sunshine
In the sweet summertime
The way that young lovers do
I kissed you on the lips once more
And we said goodbye just adoring the nighttime
Yeah, that's the right time
To feel the way that young lovers do
Then we sat on our own star and dreamed of the way that we were
and the way that we were meant to be
Then we sat on our own star and dreamed of the way that I was for you
and you were for me
And then we danced the night away
And turned to each other, say, 'I love you, I love you'
The way that young lovers do
Do, do, do, do...
Then we sat on our star and dreamed of the way that we were and the way
that we wanted to be
Then we sat on our own star and dreamed of the way that I was for you
and you were for me
I went on to dance the night away
And turned to each other, say, 'I love you, baby, I love you'
The way that young lovers do, lovers do, lovers do
Do, do, do, do....
DEEP PURPLE lyrics - Anyone's Daughter
I stood under your bedroom window
Throwing up a brick
No one came I threw one more
That really did the trick
Your daddy came and banged my head
He said what kind of man
Is this that's hanging 'round my girl
And threw me in the car
You're a farmer's daughter
You're a farmer's daughter
Why do I always get
The kinda girl I didn't oughta get
I won't get no more eggs and water
Now I've laid the farmer's daughter
Imagine I was a full-grown man
And I could talk just right
Could I come and see you here
And do this every night
Wham! The door comes crashing down
Your daddy's face all pale
Says come with me you hairy bum
I'll put you in my jail
You're a judge's daughter
You're a judge's daughter
Why do I always get
The kinda girl I didn't oughta v et
Now I'm getting jail and torture
'Cause I made the judge's daughter
It seems they're screaming law and order
When I go with anyone's daughter
Woman I should like some peace
And daddy hold your tongue
I think you're gonna die of fright
When I tell you what I've done
I can hear your tales and lies
You say I'm dumb and scraggy
But man this dumb and scraggy is
Your daughter's baby's daddy
She's a lucky daughter
Such a lucky daughter
Why did I always get
The kinda girl I didn't wanna get
Now I've got what I always fought for
'Cause I've married a rich man's daughter

THE HOLLIES lyrics - Tell Me To My Face
(Clarke / Hicks / Nash)
Will you try to justify the meaning
Of the note you sent this evening
To my door, you're not deceiving me
I'd have thought that you'd have known much better
Sending round an unsigned letter
Facing me would be much better now
Is it just that you can't face the future with me
Can't you tell me to my face
You just took the coward's way to say goodbye
How would you feel here in my place
If at last I think I'm glad to rid myself of you I'm sad
To think about the time I'll have to go
Then I'll turn and walk away so please don't beg for me to stay
Cause I know just what I will say to you
Is it just that you can't face the future with me
Can't you tell me to my face
You just took the coward's way to say goodbye
How would you feel here in my place
Tell me to my face you're leaving now
Tell me to my face you're leaving now
Though you try to justify the meaning
Of the note you sent this evening
To my door, you're not deceiving me
I'd have thought that you'd have known much better
Sending round an unsigned letter
Facing me would be much better now
Is it just that you can't face the future with me
Can't you tell me to my face
You just took the coward's way to say goodbye
How would you feel here in my place
K. D. LANG lyrics - Rose Garden
(Joe South)
I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine there's got to be a little rain sometimes
When you take you got to give so live and let live or let go ooo oooo
I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden.
I can't promise you things like big diamonds rings
But you don't find roses growing fields of clover so better think it over
When if sweet talking you would make it come true
I'd give you the world right now on a silver platter but what would it matter
So smile for a while and let's be jolly love shouldn't be so melancholic
Come on and share the good times while we can
I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine there's got to be a little rain sometimes
I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden
I could sing you a tune and promise you the moon
But if that's what it takes to hold you I just too soon let you go
But there's one thing I want you to know
You better look before you leap still water runs deep
And it won't always be someone there to put you out
And you know what I'm talkin' about
So smile for a while and let's be jolly love shouldn't be so melancholic
Come on and share the good times while we can
I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine there's got to be a little rain sometimes
JOHN LENNON lyrics - Give Peace A Chance
(John Lennon & Paul McCartney)
Ev'rybody's talking about
Bagism, Shagism, Dragism, Madism, Ragism, Tagism
This-ism, that-ism, is-m, is-m, is-m.
All we are saying is give peace a chance
All we are saying is give peace a chance
C'mon
Ev'rybody's talking about Ministers,
Sinisters, Banisters and canisters
Bishops and Fishops and Rabbis and Pop eyes,
And bye bye, bye byes.
All we are saying is give peace a chance
ANNIE HASLAM lyrics - O Holy Night
O holy night! the stars are brightly shining,
It is the night of the dear Savior's birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
Till he appeared, and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary soul rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn;
Fall on your knees; O, hear the angel voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born!
O night, O holy night, O night divine.
Led by the light of faith serenely beaming,
With glowing hearts by his cradle we stand;
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming,
Here came the wise men from Orient land.
The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger,
In all our trials born to be our friend;
He knows our need, To our weaknesses is no stranger.
Behold your King, before him lowly bend!
Truly he taught us to love one another;
His law is love, and his gospel is peace;
Chains shall he break, for the slave is our brother,
And in his name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we;
Let all within us praise his holy name;
Christ is the Lord, O, Praise his name forever.
His power and glory every more proclaim!
MARY CHAPIN CARPENTER lyrics - Mrs. Hemingway
We packed up our books and our dishes
Our dreams and your worsted wool suits
We sailed on the 8th of December
Farewell old Hudson River
Here comes the sea
And love was as new and as bright and as true
When I loved you and you loved me
Two steamer trunks in the carriage
Safe arrival we cabled back home
It was just a few days before Christmas
We filled our stockings with wishes
And walked for hours
Arm and arm through the rain, to the glassed-in cafe
That held us like hot house flowers
Living in Paris, in attics and garrets
Where the coal merchants climb every stair
The dance hall next door is filled with sailors and whores
And the music floats up through the air
There's Sancerre and oysters, cathedrals and cloisters
And time with its unerring aim
For now we can say we were lucky most days
And throw a rose into the Seine
Love is the greatest deceiver
It hollows you out like a drum
And suddenly nothing is certain
As if all the clouds closed the curtains
And blocked the sun
And friends now are strangers in this city of dangers
As cold and as cruel as they come
Sometimes I look at old pictures
And smile at how happy we were
How easy it was to be hungry
It wasn't for fame or for money
It was for love
Now my copper hair's grey as the stone on the quay
In the city where magic was
Living in Paris, in attics and garrets
Where the coal merchants climb every stair
The dance hall next door is filled with sailors and whores
And the music floats up through the air
There's Sancerre and oysters, and Notre Dame's cloisters
And time with its unerring aim
And now we can say we were lucky most days
And throw a rose into the Seine
And now I can say I was lucky most days
And throw a rose into the Seine

LORETTA LYNN lyrics - I've Got Texas In My Heart
(Mildred Burk - Ross Burk)
I'm packin' up my old suitcases to go see old familiar faces
Give me blue skies and sunny Texas weather
I crave the smell of good ole saddle leather I've got Texas in my heart
I've got a lotta friends in Amarrilo I like Dallas Forth Worth Houston San Antone
Got a pinin' in my heart to be in Texas I've said I'll wind up makin' it my home
I'm packin' up my old suitcases to go see old familiar faces
The Lone Star State has won my heart doggone it
And long horn steak with lots of ketchup on it I've got Texas in my heart
[ banjo ]
I love the western way they grab in Texas where that Lone Star hat is mighty plain
You can bet your boots and saddle I love Texas gonna hang and to go back there again
I'm packin' up my old suitcases to go see old familiar faces
Give me blue skies and sunny Texas weather
I crave the smell of good old saddle leather I've got Texas in my heart
(The eyes of Texas are upon you) I've got Texas in my heart
GREEN DAY lyrics - Jesus Of Suburbia
[Part I]
I'm the son of rage and love
The Jesus of suburbia
From the bible of none of the above
On a steady diet of
Soda pop and Ritalin
No one ever died for my sins in hell
As far as I can tell
At least the ones I got away with
And there's nothing wrong with me
This is how I'm supposed to be
In a land of make believe
That don't believe in me
Get my television fix
sitting on my crucifix
A living room on my private womb
While the moms and brads are away
To fall in love and fall in debt
To alcohol and cigarettes
And mary jane
To keep me insane
Doing someone else's cocaine
And there's nothing wrong with me
This is how I'm supposed to be
In a land of make believe
That don't believe in me
[Part II: City Of The Damned]
At the center of the Earth
In the parking lot
Of the 7-11 were I was taught
The motto was just a lie
It says home is where your heart is
But what a shame
Cause everyone's heart
Doesn't beat the same
It's beating out of time
City of the dead
At the end of another lost highway
Signs misleading to nowhere
city of the damned
Lost children with dirty faces today
Noone really seems to care
I read the graffiti
In the bathroom stall
Like the holy scriptures of a shopping mall
And so it seemed to confess
It didn't say much
But it only confirmed that
The center of the earth
Is the end of the world
And I could really careless
City of the dead
At the end of another lost highway
Signs misleading to nowhere
city of the damned
Lost children with dirty faces today
Noone really seems to careeeeee
HEY!
[Part III: I Don't Care]
I don't care if you don't
I don't care if you don't
I don't care if you don't care X5
I don't careeeeeeeeee
Everyone's so full of shit
Born and raised by hypocrits
Hearts recycled but never saved
From the cradle to the grave
We are the kids of war and peace
From Anaheim to the Middle East
We are the stories and disciples of
The Jesus of suburbia
Land of make believe
And it don't believe in me
Land of make believe
And I don't believe
And I don't care!
I don't care!
[Part IV: Dearly Beloved]
Dearly beloved are you listening?
I can't remember a word that you were saying
Are we demented or am I disturbed?
The space that's in between insane and insecure
Oh therapy, can you please fill the void?
Am I retarded or am I just overjoyed
Nobody's perfect and I stand accused
For lack of a better word, and that's my best excuse
[Part V: Tales Of Another Broken Home]
To live and not to breathe
Is to die in tragedy
To run, to run away
To find what you believe
And I leave behind
This hurricane of fucking lies
I lost my faith to this
This town that don't exist
So I run
I run away
The light of masochist
And I leave behind
This hurricane of fucking lies
And I walked this line
A million and one fucking times
But not this time
I don't feel any shame
I won't apologize
When there ain't nowhere you can go
Running away from pain
When you've been victimized
Tales from another broken HOME
You're leaving...
You're leaving...
You're leaving...
Ah you're leaving home...

AIR SUPPLY lyrics - I Can't Get Excited
(Graham Russell)
Every single feeling now
Would take my life into a year ago
You say you'll love me again
I can't say what I cannot do
It's been too long without someone
How could you let me sink this far away from you
Now you're here, wondering why you can't get near
[Chorus:]
I can't get excited
Can't get excited
There's a thousand things to do
I can't do anything with you
I can't get excited
Can't get excited
You can see me look right through
I don't feel like I used to do
I'm turning back the pages now
I've pleaded with you oh so many times
Trying just to make you see
Hoping I might be the one
So calm down love, it will be all right
The time to bring back love is not tonight
I never thought I'd have to say
That you should leave and go away
[Chorus]
Not in love
Still not in love with you
Not in love
I'm still not in love with you
Not in love
Still not in love with you
Not in love
Tell me why you can't leave me lonely
Tell me why I'm taking a chance on you
Taking a chance you
[Chorus]
SONNY AND CHER lyrics - Love Is Strange
La la love is, la la la la love is
La la love is, la la la la love is
La la love is, la la la la love is
Love, love is strange
A lot of people take it for a game
Once you get it you never wanna quit
After you've had it, it all fits
La la love is, la la la la love is
La la love is, la la la la love is
La la love is, la la la la love is
Strange
Many people don't understand
They say love is money in the hand
Your sweet lovin' is better than a kiss
When you leave me sweet kisses are missed
Sonny: Oh Cleo
Cher: Yes Ceasar
Sonny: How do you call your lover boy?
Cher: Oh, lover boy
Sonny: And if he doesn't answer?
Cher: I say come in lover boy
Sonny: And if he still doesn't answer?
Cher: Then I'd say
Baby
Oh, oh baby
My sweet baby
You're the one
Baby
Oh, oh baby
My sweet baby
You're the one
Baby
Oh, oh baby
My sweet baby
You're the one
Mmmmmmmmmmm
La la love is, la la la la love is
La la love is, la la la la love is
La la love is, la la la la love is
WHITESNAKE lyrics - Ain't Gonna Cry No More
(David Coverdale & Micky Moody)
Rising with the morning sun
I turn to greet the dawn,
Knowing I must face another day
Sleepless night behind me,
Just a memory of pain,
My heart has always been a cross to bear
Lord I know the sun shine,
But, I feel the tears of rain
Falling down to wash my sins away
I'll try hard to remember
So I won't be fooled again,
Hey, ain't gonna cry no more today
All around me, shadows fall,
Tho' day has just begun,
I realise I'm on my own again
Memories of broken dreams,
As distant as the sun,
Are drifting like an echo in the wind
Lord, I know the sunshine,
But, I feel the tears of rain
Falling down to wash my sins away
I'll try, hard to remember
So I won't be fooled again,
Hey, ain't gonna cry no more today
Babe, I thought about it,
But, it just ain't done good,
You hold my heart and soul within your hand
All the time, you're in my mind,
I never thought you could be so blind,
Maybe someday I will understand
Lord, I know the sun shine,
But I feel the tears of rain
Falling down to wash my sins away
I'll try hard to remember
So I won't be fooled again,
Hey, ain't gonna cry no more today, no more
Hey, mama you drive me crazy,
Knowing you're my hearts desire,
Why'd you go and hang me up this way
You've given me love, given me love,
Now tell me what you were thinking of,
Why'd you go and steal my soul away
Lord I know the sunshine,
But, I feel the tears of rain
Falling down to wash my sins away
I'll try hard to remember
So I won't be fooled again,
Hey, ain't gonna cry no more today
I ain't gonna cry no more
Lord I know the sunshine,
But, I feel the tears of rain
Falling down to wash my sins away
I'll try hard to remember
So I won't be fooled again,
Hey, ain't gonna cry no more today
Ain't gonna cry no more1
Hey, I ain't gonna cry no more today

WARREN ZEVON lyrics - The Indifference Of Heaven
(Warren Zevon)
Time marches on
Time stands still
Time on my hands
Time to kill
Blood on my hands
And my hands in the till
Down at the 7-11
Gentle rain
Falls on me
All life folds back
Into the sea
We contemplate eternity
Beneath the vast indifference of heaven
The past seems realer than the present to me now
I've got memories to last me
When the sky is gray
The way it is today
I remember the times when I was happy
Same old sun
Same old moon
It's the same old story
Same old tune
They all say
Someday soon
My sins will all be forgiven
Gentle rain
Falls on me
All life folds back
Into the sea
We contemplate eternity
Beneath the vast indifference of heaven
They say "Everything's all right"
They say "Better days are near"
They tell us "These are the good times"
But they don't live around here
Billy and Christie don't--
Bruce and Patti don't--
They don't live around here
I had a girl
Now she's gone
She left town
Town burned down
Nothing left
But the sound
Of the front door closing forever
Gentle rain
Falls on me
All life folds back
Into the sea
We contemplate eternity
Beneath the vast indifference of heaven
WARREN ZEVON lyrics - Let Nothing Come Between You
(Warren Zevon)
When my Mama met my girl, she took me aside
She's a soft-spoken woman but she speaks her mind
She said "De de de de de de de de de de"
Let nothing come between you
De de de de de de de de de de
Don't let nothing come between you"
I went to see my friend to ask his advice
He just smiled and, "She's good around the eyes."
But I'd already made up my mind
Let nothing come between us
There are frustrated people in town
Who might envy us and try to bring us down
We know they don't really mean any harm
That doesn't mean we've gotta let 'em hang around
Got the license--got the ring
Got back the blood tests and everything
Putting on my boutonniere--It's her favorite flower
Then I'm walking down the altar and I'm gonna take the vow
De de de de de de de de de de
Don't let nothing come between us
De de de de de de de de de de
Don't let nothing come between us
There are frustrated people in town
Who might envy us and try to bring us down
We know they don't really mean any harm
That doesn't mean we've gotta let 'em hang around
I have advice for the young and old
If I may be so bold
When you find someone to have and hold
Don't let nothing come between you
De de de de de de de de de de
Get together and let nothing come between us
De de de de de de de de de de
Get together and let nothing come between us

HAWKWIND lyrics - Waiting For Tomorrow
Moon streaming through the trees
I wonder what this means
Clouds forming into swords
Shining like I've never seen
Waiting for tomorrow
Hiding from tomorrow
Waiting for tomorrow
Hide from all our sorrows
Words written in the sky
Tell me, could this be a dream?
Silently, pilots are circling
Waiting for the unforeseen
Red alert goes through the world
The heavens are opening
Run to the shelter nearest you
Our planet's running out of steam
Waiting for tomorrow
Hiding from tomorrow
Waiting for tomorrow
Hide from all our sorrows
Moon turning red, trees are dead
I wonder what this means
Clouds have changed to sheets of mist
Like I've never seen
Waiting for tomorrow
Hiding from tomorrow
Waiting for tomorrow
Hide from all our sorrows
Stars are fading from the sky
Tell me, could this be a dream?
Silently, pilots land
Waiting for the unforeseen
Waiting for the unforeseen
Waiting for the unforeseen......
CHRIS DE BURGH lyrics - You And Me
The time has come for me to take my bows and leave the stage,
But I feel I'm just beginning,
There's so many things I want to say before I go,
But I'll be back, to sing again;
And I'll lead you through the ancient halls and stories of the past,
And the many ways of loving,
And when all is said and done, there's only you and me,
You and me...
MELISSA ETHERIDGE lyrics - Silent Legacy
Why did you steal the matches
From the one room motel
Once they gave you answers
Now they give you hell
They will never understand
They wonder where did they go wrong
How could you be so selfish
Why can't you get along
And as you pray in your darkness
For wings to set you free
You are bound to your silent legacy
You've seen it in the movies
And you've heard it on the street
Craving the affection
Your blood is full of heat
They don't listen to your reasons
As original as sin
Deny all that you feel
And they will bring you home again
And as you pray in your darkness
For wings to set you free
You are bound to your silent legacy
Your body is alive
But no one told you what you'd feel
The empty aching hours
Trying to conceal
The natural progression
Is the coming of your age
But they cover it with shame
And turn it into rage
And as you pray in your darkness
For wings to set you free
You are bound to your silent legacy
You are digging for the answers
Until your fingers bleed
To satisfy the hunger
To satiate the need
They feed you on the guilt
To keep you humble keep you low
Some man and myth they made up
A thousand years ago
And as you pray in your darkness
For wings to set you free
You are bound to your silent legacy
Mothers tell your children
Be quick you must be strong
Life is full of wonder
Love is never wrong
Remember how they taught you
How much of it was fear
Refuse to hand it down
The legacy stops here
Oh my child...
LUCINDA WILLIAMS lyrics - Over Time
Overtime
That's what they all tell me
That's what they say to me
Overtime
Your blue eyes, your black eyelashes
The way you looked at life
In your funny way
I guess out of the blue
You won't cross my mind
And I'll get over you
Overtime
Your pale skin, your sexy crooked teeth
The trouble you'd get in
In your clumsy way
I guess one afternoon
You won't cross my mind
And I'll get over you
Overtime
I guess out of the blue
You won't cross my mind
And I'll get over you
Overtime
ROY ORBISON lyrics - Falling
(Roy Orbison)
I'm falling, I'm falling, falling in love with you.
Baby, come closer, closer to me,
And listen, listen carefully.
Remember all the nights that I told you I loved you.
It wasn't true, I used you,
And you were just someone new
To thrill this lonely heart of mine.
I was lying all the time
Pretending to be falling in love with you.
But it's different now.
I've kissed you now, so forgive me, forgive me somehow.
Hold me tight for tonight, and tell me true,
If you still love me.
Say that you love me.
Don't leave me now, now that I'm falling for you.
I'm falling, I'm falling, falling in love,
Falling in love with you.
I'm falling, I'm falling, falling in love with you.
Baby, come closer, closer to me,
And listen, listen carefully.
Remember all the nights that I told you I loved you.
It wasn't true, I used you,
And you were just someone new
To thrill this lonely heart of mine.
I was lying all the time
Pretending to be falling in love with you.
But it's different now.
I've kissed you now, so forgive me, forgive me somehow.
Hold me tight for tonight, and tell me true,
If you still love me.
Say that you love me.
Don't leave me now, now that I'm falling for you.
I'm falling, I'm falling, falling in love,
Falling in love with you.
BILLY IDOL lyrics - Speed
Running from the nightmare
In the middle of the road
Hell's no place for sleeping
In a world beyond control
Caught in the headlights
Coming after you
When I woke up this morning
I had to do what I gotta do
Blast me to Heaven for loving you
Blast me to Heaven for loving you
Speed
Give me what I need
Yeah
White lightning
Let's speed, on speed
On wheels, on wheels
Speed
Oh, let it bleed
Yeah
Greased lightning
Let's speed, on speed
On wheels, on wheels
I've seen a train full of pain
On the edge of overload
We're in Heaven, baby
You are gonna implode
I've got these crazy feelings
That I can't explain
I've gotta save you baby
Or I'll die in vain
Blast me to Heaven for loving you
I said blast me to Heaven just for loving you
I said speed
Give me what I need
Yeah
White lightning
Let's speed, on speed
On wheels, on wheels
Speed
Oh, let it bleed
Yeah
Greased lightning
Let's speed, on speed
On wheels, on wheels
Blast me to Heaven for loving you
I said blast me to Heaven for loving you
Now I'm rushing on the run, yeah
I wanna have me some fun
I'll speed
Give me what I need
Oh, set me free
Let's speed
On wheels, on wheels, on wheels
Said speed
Oh, let it bleed
Yeah
White lightning
Let's speed, on speed
On wheels, on wheels
Com'on
I said speed, speed
Give me what I need
I said speed, speed
Give me what I need
Alright

MEGADETH lyrics - Kill The King
(Dave Mustaine)
Broken down, feeling naked
Leaving me unfulfilled
Promising compromise
Championing mediocrity
Time and time again
What you said ain't what you mean
Even if all my bones are broken
I will drag myself back from the edge to
Kill the King, The King is dead, Long live the King
Kill the King, The King is dead, Long live the King,
I am the King, God save the King
Kill the King, The King is dead
I am the King, Long live the King
Kill the King, The King is dead
I am the King, Long live the King
I reveal a deceiver
In the highest seat in the land
His idle hands the Devil's workshop
Generate more smoke than heat
Time and time again
What you said ain't what you mean
Even if all my bones are broken
I will drag myself back from the edge to
Kill the King, The King is dead, Long live the King
Kill the King, The King is dead, Long live the King,
I am the King, God save the King
Kill the King, The King is dead
I am the King, Long live the King
Kill the King, The King is dead
I am the King, Long live the King
A new precedent in pain, a new precedent in pain
Mankind is blown to dust, mankind is blown to dust
An explosion of the Brain, an explosion of the Brain
Spontaneously combust, spontaneously combust
Kill the King, The King is dead, Long live the King,
I am the King
Kill the King, I, The King is dead, I am, Long live the King,
I am the King
Kill the King, I, The King is dead, I am, Long live the King,
I am the King
Kill the King, I, The King is dead, I am, Long live the King,
I am the King
GILBERT O'SULLIVAN lyrics - Can't Think Straight (Spanish Version)
Si...Ooh, is Mary there?
No, pero
Well, if you see Mary
Will you tell her I called?
Tell her that I love her
And I'm sorry that's all
You see we had our very first quarrel today
I got really angry and I slapped her face
Now I'm sorry but what can I say
I love her so much
I can't think straight
Yo soy Silvia y te podria ayudar
Si en lugar de a ella me quisieras mirar
Te baбaria en oceanos de amor
Haria de tu vida un paraiso mejor
Y mira ya no puedo seguir
Te quiero tanto que ahora siento
Nublarseme el pensamiento
What about people other than me?
What about those with nothing to eat?
How can I claim that life isn't fair?
What a pathetic sight I swear
If I could kick I'd kick
Myself of course and if
No te amargues ten la seguridad
De que tambien ella se arrepentira'
Well in that case
Why won't she answer the phone?
Don't try and tell me
She's not at home
I'm sorry but what can say
Lo siento pero no se que decir
We're sorry but what can I say
I love her so much I can't think
What are we doing? What have we done?
What in the world is going on?
Isn't it crazy looking so fine
Knowing that in as much time
As it takes to make a drink
We could all become as the dinosaur has
Nothing but extinct
And to top it all I hear
That my rent is to be raised
So if you see Mary
Will you tell her I called
Tell her that I love her
And I'm sorry that's all
And by the way thank you for being so kind
If I've taken up too much of your time
I'm sorry but what I can say
Lo siento pero no se que decir
We're sorry but what can I say
I love her so much
I can't think
Love her so much
I can't think straight

WEIRD AL YANKOVIC lyrics - Free Delivery
Late at night, you're hungry
You're craving some pizza
Let me be the one that you call
Olive or anchovy
Perhaps pepperoni
Anything you want, we've got it all
Near, far, I'll jump in my car
You just call in your order and I'm gone
You know, we hand toss our dough
Just tell me what you want and the toppings will go on and on
Deep dish, whatever you wish
Even get two for one with a coupon
You must try our special crust
But just don't eat too fast or your heartburn will go on and on
BAD COMPANY lyrics - Where I Belong
I'm making sure another late night drags on
Just one more drink, but you know I'm wrong
Sooner or later, when everyone's gone
You just shake your head and take my hand
You seem to know what it takes me time to tell
But then you know me, surprises me how well
You make me an offer that I can't refuse
Take my arm and walk away
Help me find my way home
Along this rocky road, 'cause I can't carry on
Will you head me to my bed
Ease my aching head, take me where I belong
Sometimes you smile at the clothes that I wear
You listen to reason when I just don't care
It's bringing me down, then I start to fall
You catch my heart and don't let it go
Help me find my way home
Along this rocky road, 'cause I can't carry on
Will you head me to my bed
Ease my aching head, take me where I belong
As I see you lay your head
I'm glad it's next to mine, mine, whoa
Won't you come on home?
Help me find my way home
Along this rocky road, 'cause I can't carry on
Will you head me to my bed
And ease my aching head, take me where I belong
Help me find my way home
Along this rocky road, 'cause I can't carry on
Will you head me to my bed
And ease my aching head, take me where I belong
Take me home
Take me home

NEW ORDER lyrics - Mr. Disco
How can I ever forget you
You don't know just what I've been through
The holiday we spent together
Lives with me now and forever
I tried but I can't find you
Tell me now what do I do
I tried but I can't find you
Tell me now what do I do
I can't find my piece of mind
Because I need you with me all of the time
I used to think about you night and day
I used to feel what language cannot say
Oh I can't find you
No I can't find my piece of mind without you
Maybe you'd write me a letter
And tell me why I never met you
Our rendezvous just ended in sorrow
Without you there's no tomorrow
I tried but I can't find you
Tell me now what do I do
I tried but I can't find you
Tell me now what do I do
I can't find my piece of mind
Because I need you with me all of the time
I used to think about you night and day
I didn't care what other people would say
Oh I can't find you
No I can't find my piece of mind without you
I can't find my piece of mind
Because I need you with me all of the time
I used to think about you night and day
I used to feel what language cannot say
Oh I can't find you
No I can't find my piece of mind without you
Ibiza, Majorca, and Benidorm too
I've searched all these places but never found you
ROD STEWART lyrics - Heart Is On The Line
(R. Stewart / J. Davis)
What do you want from me
When will you ever see
I gave it all nothing less
The feeling ain't mutual I guess
Why am I so confused
Why do I feel so used
This game at hand was made for two
But somehow I played without you
No I'm not sad
Nothin' lasts forever
Head over heels
Better late than never
Chorus:
My heart is on the line
Running out of time
Love stop making a fool out of me
My heart is on the line
Running out of time
Love stop making a fool out of me
Telling my friends you're fine
Even our favorite wine
But you're not there and it hurts
Nobody knows how it hurts
Maybe I thought I knew
That I belonged to you
I dreamed a dream I couldn't have
I foolishly let myself dance
Inside your eyes
Oh don't be sad
I should've known better
Why didn't I realize
(Chorus)
Love stop making a fool out of me
Love stop making a fool out of me
Whenever you call me up
Everything else must stop
My heart says stay but I go
'Cause I need you and you know
You're inside of me
I want you now and forever
Come on back to me
(Chorus)
My heart is on the line
Running out of time
Love stop making a clown out of me
Love stop making a fool out of me
Love stop making a clown out of me
Love stop making a fool out of me

10,000 MANIACS lyrics - Tension Makes A Tangle
(music: John Lombardo / lyrics : Natalie Merchant)
As frail hinges
Pivot on a case's door
Commemorative
Souvenirs from places
Containers change
With each occasion
A cellophane encased
Display of paper
Certificate
To credit years of service
A tool of central enterprises
The early hope
For permanence
The words
The rings
Consistency
The social security
A miracle is high tragedy
Thought mistaken
For a memory
Clear the dust from
Smiles in boxes
Pass a patterned wall
Recall their voices
A local post
Will list your friends
In order of
Disappearance
The lawn scattered
Tins feed birds
A portion baked for
Absent guests
And the mass edition icon
God sent comfort
Your salvation
But who grants absolution
For sins that
Never were committed
Tension makes a tangle
Of each thought
Becomes an inconvenience
Sound as it never penetrates
As servile edges
Break and
Feint
Thought mistaken
For a memory
A dress length
Assassination
A fractured family tie
Another christening
Christening
Christening
Christening
MISFITS lyrics - Living Hell
Imprisoned in this world of darkness few have known
A monster lusting blood and the hunger grows
Out on the street, dangers real, the killer's still at large
A trail of death through the sewers to the underground
I feel their fleeting life draw into my bones
Hear the heart that pounds, the blood that flows
Eternity, I damn thee, let me rot into the ground
As the empty veins collapse, cast them down
Living hell (whoah oh oh)
Living hell (whoah oh)
Living hell (whoah oh oh)
I just can't go on...In this living hell
This town has worn thin, everybody knows
Panic in the news and the terror grows
A tunnel full of filth escape into the night
Another hole to dwell in underground
I feel their fleeting life draw into my bones
Hear the heart that pounds, the blood that flows
Eternity, I damn thee, let me rot into the ground
As the empty veins collapse, cast them down
Living hell (whoah oh oh)
Living hell (whoah oh)
Living hell (whoah oh oh)
I just can't go on...In this living hell
In this living hell
In this living hell
I feel their fleeting life draw into my bones
Hear the heart that pounds, the blood that flows
Eternity, I damn thee, let me rot into the ground
As the empty veins collapse, cast them down
Living hell (whoah oh oh)
Living hell (whoah oh)
Living hell (whoah oh oh)
I just can't go on...In this living hell!
GEORGE STRAIT lyrics - In Too Deep
Ain't love a strain, ain't it a pain in your heart
I ain't worth the trouble anyhow
I'd like to give it up, I've had enough and I've done my part
But I'm in too deep to pull out now
Good things we've had are going bad and I don't know why
I'd turn it around if I knew how
I'm pushing aside all my pride and it's worth a try
'Cause I'm in too deep to pull out now
We need to get our love back on its feet again
We've come too far to let it come to an end
What can I do, I'm into you up over my heart
I've tried all that I know how
Doing all I can and I can't stand to see us fall apart
And I'm in too deep to pull out now
We need to get our love back on its feet again
We've come too far to let it come to an end
I can't step aside and let you slide right out of my life
It would 'cause more hurt than the law allows
I'll get us back on the track and it'll be all right
'Cause I'm in too deep to pull out now

SONNY AND CHER lyrics - Stand By Me
When the night has come,
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only
Light we'll see
No, I won't be afraid
I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand
Stand by me
So darlin', darlin' stand by me
Oh stand by me
Oh stand stand by me
Stand by me
If the sky we look upon
Should tumble and fall
Or the mountains should
crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry,
No, I won't shed a tear,
Just as long as you stand me
Darlin', darlin' stand by me
Oh won't you stand by me
Oh, stand stand by me
Stand by me
Darlin', darlin' stand by me
Stand by me stand by me
Stand by me
Whenever you're in trouble now
Stand by me stand by me
Stand by me stand by me
Stand by me
Darlin' darlin'
Oh stand by me
MISFITS lyrics - Day Of The Dead
Hell is full time to empty
Human flesh feeding frenzy
Woah oh, "Here comes the dead"
Open graves, ghouls a plenty
Zombie army machine is ready
Woah oh, "Here comes the dead"
When the dead come arising
You see their eyes, you're hypnotized and
They eat your guts out
And now you're the "Living Dead"
When the dead come arising
You see their eyes, you're hypnotized and
They eat your guts out
And now you're the "Living Dead"
Oh, oh, "here comes the dead"
Oh, oh, "here comes the dead"
Oh, oh, "here comes the dead"
Oh, oh, "here comes the dead"
"Here comes the dead"
"Here comes the dead"
"Here comes the dead"
Here comes, here comes the dead
BRENDA LEE lyrics - Games People Play
(Joe South)
Oh, the games people play now
Every night and every day now
Never meanin' what they say now
Never sayin', what they mean
And to while away the hours
In the ivory towers
'Til they're covered up with flowers
In the back of black limousine
Lan, da da da da-da, Lan da da da da-dee
Talkin' 'bout you and me and the games people play
Oh', we make one another cry
Break a heart then we say good-bye
Cross our hearts and we hope to die
That the other was to blame
Neither one will ever give in
So we gaze at an eight-by-ten
Thinkin' 'bout the things that might have been
It's a dirty rotten shame
People walkin' up to you
Singin' glory, hallelujah!
And they try to sock it to you, ha
In the name of the Lord
They're gonna teach you how to meditate
Read your horoscope and cheat your hate
Come on, get on board
Look around, tell me what you see
What's happening to you and me
God, grant me serenity
Just to remember who I am
'Cause you're giving up your sanity
For your back on humanity
And you don't give a da, da da

FRANK SINATRA lyrics - If
(D. Gates)
[Recorded May 7, 1974, Hollywood]
If they made me a king I'd be but a slave to you
If I had everything I'd still be a slave to you
If I ruled the night, stars and moon so bright
Still I'd turn for light to you
If the world to me bowed yet humbly I'd flee to you
If my friends were a crowd I'd turn in my need to you
If I ruled the earth what would life be worth
If I hadn't the right to you
If I ruled the night, stars and moon so bright
Still I'd turn for light to you
If the world to me bowed yet humbly I'd flee to you
If my friends were a crowd I'd turn in my need to you
If I ruled the earth what would life be worth
If I hadn't the right to you
GARY BROOKER lyrics - Mr. Blue Day
(Brooker / Sutherland)
Every Morning - sunrise dawning
Shadows lifting - night clouds drifting
Rolling away
Open your eyes from dreaming
Look to the sky - the sun is streaming down.
Lightning up the world to greet us like a friend
Lending a guiding hand until the twilight ends
- No don't give us up Mr. Blue Day
- Shine out just enough through the cold grey
To lead us home again.
Every morning sundown
Shades of darkness draw round
Day is slowly dying
Night birds homeward flying on their way
- Can't stop the night from falling
- Can't stop the shadows calling to us all
From another world of timeless mystery
Out floating helpless on some far and lonely sea
- So don't give us up Mr. Blue Day
- Shine out just enough through the cold grey
To lead us home again.

QUEEN LATIFAH lyrics - Fly Girl
Well, it's almost nightfall
And there's no forecast of rainfall
And I'm in the mood for a party
So I'm gonna go out to a club
And give the dancefloor body
So I jump in the car and go to the venue
Walk in the door and now I'm on the menu
Guys in the house, they're wacthing me
They're clocking me, there's no stopping me
[Refrain:]
(desire) I know you want me
(you're fine) thank you
But I'm not the type of girl that you think I am
I don't jump into the arms of every man
(but I'm paid) I don't need your money
(I love you) you must be mad
Easy lover is something that I ain't
Besides, I don't know you from a can of paint
Tell me why is it when I walk past the guys
I always hear, yo, baby?
I mean like what's the big idea?
I'm a queen, nuff respect
Treat me like a lady
And, no, my name ain't yo and I ain't got your baby
I'm looking for a guy who's sincere
One with class and savoir faire
I'm looking for someone who has to be
Perfect for the queen latifah me
(fly girl, fly girl)
(come here, cuz you're sexy and you're fine)
(and I want you to be mine)
(fly girl, fly girl)
(have no fear, your heart is in good hands)
(won't you let me be your man? )
All my friends are in relationships
Some of then good ones and some of them bad ones
Some of the bad ones took a turn for the better
And some of the good ones ended up sad ones
You see? loving, it ain't hard to get
I want a friend not just a lover
Someone who is dedicated only to me
Not to me and two or three others
One who will not lie to me or think
He can get my love by buying me
I know I'll find him some day
And when I find him
He sure won't say
[Refrain]
(fly girl, fly girl
(come here, cuz you're sexy and you're fine)
(and I want you to be mine)
(fly girl, fly girl, have no fear)
(have no fear, your heart is in good hands)
(won't you let me be your man? )
Lounging, sitting in the house
And I'm cooling, first day of the week
So there's nothing to do
And I'm in the mood for a real soft kiss
Momma never said there'll be days like this
So I called her and we talked for a while
Hang up the phone feeling better
With a smile
It's cool, cuz 91 is my year
And this time I know I'm gonna hear
(fly girl, fly girl, come here)
(come here, cuz you're sexy and you're fine)
(and I want you to be mine)
(fly girl, fly girl)
(have no fear, your heart is in good hands)
(won't you let me be your man? )
[Refrain]
Fly girl [15x]
ROBERT CRAY lyrics - Forecast (Calls For Pain)
Coffee for my breakfast
Shot of whiskey on the side
It's a dark and dreary morning
With the clouds covering up the sky
[Chorus:]
The forecast calls for pain
The forecast calls for pain
My baby's turning cold
And the forecast calls for pain
We stayed up all night talking
She's grown restless she confessed
She says there's no one new
But deep down I know that's next
[Chorus]
She says she tried and tried yes she has
But slowly her love has died
I can see that deep down inside she's changed
The forecast calls for pain
The forecast calls for pain
The forecast calls for pain
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I can hear approaching thunder
I can feel chills run up my spine
I've seen love freeze before
And I know I'm on borrowed time
[Chorus]
I can feel the thunder
I can see the lightning
I can feel the pain
Oh, it's gonna rain
[Chorus]

ERIC CLAPTON lyrics - Days Of Old
(Riley B. King and Jules Bihari)
Way back yonder in the days of old,
The men was working but not saving any dough.
Then came a woman looking real cool.
She said to herself, "Now that's my fool."
[Chorus:]
I'm gonna ball tonight.
I'm gonna ball tonight.
Well, I can't break the rule because
Every man is some woman's fool.
Met a girl on the avenue,
She was shy and I was blue,
Like a teacher and a student in school,
Looked at me and said, "You're my fool."
[Chorus]
[Repeat First Verse]
[Chorus]
We're gonna ball tonight.
We're gonna ball tonight.
We're gonna ball tonight.
We're gonna ball tonight.
Well I can't break the rule because
Every man is some woman's fool.
GRAHAM NASH lyrics - There's Only One
We can heed the call
We can trip and fall
We can read the scrawl on the garden wall
Let the ashes fall
Upon us all or not at all it's in us all
Can we say it's cool
From a heated pool
When we give a jewel to a starving fool
And if we can't be cruel
Then let us take the tool
And change the rule, change the rule
When we've all begun to see the world we're on
Don't you see there's only one
Then we'll all begin to see the skin we're in
It's just the same
There's only one
There's only one
Do we have the grace to begin the race
In another place
Face to face
Do we stand the pace or do we let the case go to
Waste, got to waste, go to waste
Do you like the taste
OZZY OSBOURNE lyrics - See You On The Other Side
(O. Osbourne - L. Kilmister - Z. Wylde)
Voices, a thousand, thousand voices
Whispering, the time has passed for choices
Golden days are passing over, yeah
I can't seen to see you baby
Although my eyes are open wide
But I know I'll see you once more
When I see you, I'll see you on the other side
Yes, I'll see you, I'll see you on the other side
Leaving, I hate to see you cry
Grieving, I hate to say goodbye
Dust and ash forever, yeah
Though I know we must be parted
As sure as stars are in the sky
I'm gonna see you when it comes to glory
And I'll see you, I'll see you on the other side
Yes, I'll see you, I'll see you on the other side
Never thought I'd feel like this
Strange to be alone, yeah
But we'll be together
Carved in stone, carved in stone, carved in stone
Hold me, hold me tight I'm falling
Far away, distant voices calling
I'm so cold, I need you darling, yeah
I was down, but now I'm flying
Straight across the great divide
I know you're crying, but I'll stop you crying
When I see you I see you on the other side
Yes, I'll see you, see you on the other side
I'm gonna see you, see you on the other side
God knows I'll see you, see you on the other side, yeah
I'll see you, see you on the other side
I'm gonna see you, see you on the other side
God knows I'll see you, see you on the other side, yeah
I wanna see you, yeah, yeah, yeah, see you on the other side
God knows I'll see you, see you on the other side
GRATEFUL DEAD lyrics - Goin' Down The Road Feeling Bad
Goin' down the road feelin' bad.
Goin' down the road feelin' bad.
Goin' down the road feelin' bad.
I don't want to be treated this away.
Goin' where the climate suits my clothes.
Goin' where the climate suits my clothes.
Goin' where the climate suits my clothes.
I don't want to be treated this away.
Goin' down the road feelin' bad.
Goin' down the road feelin' bad.
Goin' down the road feelin' bad.
I don't want to be treated this away.
Goin' where the water tastes like wine.
Goin' where the water tastes like wine.
Goin' where the water tastes like wine.
I don't want to be treated this away.
Goin' down the road feelin' bad.
Goin' down the road feelin' bad.
Goin' down the road feelin' bad.
I don't want to be treated this away.
Goin' where the chilly winds don't blow.
Goin' where the chilly winds don't blow.
Goin' where those chilly winds don't blow.
I don't want to be treated this away.

BRYAN ADAMS lyrics - Depend On Me
When you're losin' direction
Baby you can depend on me
For a little love and affection
You can depend on me
If ya feel brokenhearted and you just can't get started
You can depend on me
Ya know it's never easy and when you're feelin' blue
There'll be times you feel so empty
Ya sometimes I feel it too
Like sister to brother - father to mother
We live for each other - we're lover to lover
As deep as an ocean - filled with emotion
I'm forever open - can't you see
Baby you can depend on me
Depend on me - depend on me
For someone to rely on and a shoulder to cry on
You can depend on me
If you're in need of some kindness
And you can't seem to find it
You can depend on me
Well there ain't no need to worry you know we'll get along
Those dark clouds may surround you
But together we'll be strong
Like sister to brother - father to mother
We live for each other - we're lover to lover
As deep as an ocean - filled with emotion
I'm forever open - can't you see
Baby you can depend on me
Depend on me - depend on me
Your love is a guiding light
I've been watchin' it shine - shine on baby
When hard times are all around
And there's miles and miles of dirty road - depend on me
There's no need to carry that heavy load - depend on me
When hope is gone and all is lost
Just reach out - take my hand
I'll be there - I'll be your man
Depend on me
BEE GEES lyrics - Reaching Out
Watching ev'ry day go by, living in a foolish game
Just the way I feel today
Living my life without you
Never hear a single word, living in a lullaby
Praying ev'ry tear I cry
Living my life without you
And ev'rywhere you go I fly (I love you with a special feeling)
And darling till the day I die (baby never stop believing)
I'll be reaching out, I'll be reaching out, Ahh....
Reaching out (there's a woman goin' through me)
I'll be reaching out ( got a chance to hold you to me ) Ahh..
Ev'rything is lonely and I need you
Living my life forever, forever
Watching ev'ry day go by
Living on the one I love
What I got is not enough
Living my life without you
And I believe in yesterday (yesterday was once tomorrow)
With love, with love wide open ev'ry way(baby you're the light I follow)
I'll be reaching out, I'll be reaching out, Ahh
Reaching out (there's a woman going through me)
I'll be reaching out (got a chance to hold you to me)
Ev'rything is lonely and I need you
Living my life forever
I'll be reaching out
I'll be reaching out
Reaching out
I'll be reaching out
Living my life forever
Reaching out, I'll be reaching out (repeat and fade )

JOHN (COUGAR) MELLENCAMP lyrics - Last Chance
A cold day in December
And I'm still here alone
I look through my window and I surrender
Should be gone
But I've not place to go
[Chorus:]
Last chance to get up
Last chance to go
Last chance to get up and go
Last chance to get up
Last chance to go
Last chance to get up and go
If there were someone
I'd hold her
If there was love
I'd let it take me away
But I just stay here alone
[Chorus]
I feel nothing I feel no pain
I feel no joy nor hurt inside
I only have myself to blame
If I see that the world's past me by
[Chorus]
STEELY DAN lyrics - Black Friday
When Black Friday comes
I'll stand down by the door
And catch the grey men when they
Dive from the fourteenth floor
When Black Friday comes
I'll collect everything I'm owed
And before my friends find out
I'll be on the road
When Black Friday falls you know it's got to be
Don't let it fall on me
When Black Friday comes
I'll fly down to Muswellbrook
Gonna strike all the big red words
From my little black book
Gonna do just what I please
Gonna wear no socks and shoes
With nothing to do but feed
All the kangaroos
When Black Friday comes I'll be on that hill
You know I will
When Black Friday comes
I'm gonna dig myself a hole
Gonna lay down in it 'til
I satisfy my soul
Gonna let the world pass by me
The Archbishop's gonna sanctify me
And if he don't come across
I'm gonna let it roll
When Black Friday comes
I'm gonna stake my claim
I'll guess I'll change my name

JOURNEY lyrics - Easy To Fall
(Perry, Schon, Cain)
In the morning, sunlight shining
The face in the mirror knows the crime
Voices cry from the darkness
A broken promise one more time
[Chorus:]
You say you believe in love
And still you run
You only believe in God when you come undone
So here you are
You brought everything on yourself
So easy to fall
When you're all alone by yourself
He said he's tried everything he could
A fool's illusion one more lie
There'll be demons waitin' in the shadows of a concrete world
Tears are runnin' tonight
[Chorus]
Words unspoken
The words unspoken
The words unspoken
The words unspoken
TOO $HORT (TOO SHORT) lyrics - Pimp Life
[Too $hort:]
I chose to live this life
[Devin the Dude - singing:]
I be stickin this dick up in these hoes hoes
'til a couple of bitches bitches get caught by they niggaz
[Devin the Dude:]
Niggaz trippin - and for what?
Why must he think he 'posed to change her
When she'll give the pussy up even to a, total stranger
And, I'm just one of 'em, you can't trust none of them
They'll say they love you while they wipin your cum on them
Then they'll run and tell her friends how she found another sucker
To pay a fee for pus-sy but not - me, motherfuckahHHH
I move quick with my pool stick, Slicker than Willie
Slicker than Kelly, slicker than KY Jelly
But really this dick has got me in a lot of trouble recently
I bend 'em and go in 'em and don't even have the decency
To call her, my balls have been leaked of most of their fluids
I used to put the rubber on and skeet straight through it
And it seems, that I always keep my pipe in these hoes
Keep my mic at these shows, cause that's the life that I chose
[Devin the Dude - singing:]
Pimp life!
I chose to live the - pimp life!
[Bun B of U. G.K.:]
Come talk a walk up in my shoes, pay a couple of my dues
Roll my boulevard on trues, while your lady sings the blues
Got everythang to lose, not a damn thang to gain
I be tryin to cross the line, but with that I gotta bring the pain
Now I tried to compromise, see the other side of the story
But that's easier said that done, when it comes to your pride & your glory
I'm a pimp with a glide in my worries, limp pimp I'ma step when I wreck
But my armor's on at all times, cause I gots me a rep to protect
Now I mights be known for this, and maybe recognized for that
But they be high-beamin me; and I be like where my visors at?
Nowadays I'm a wiser cat, after what I been through I better be
Back then I woulda broke ya broad, nowadays I just let her be
Cause through seconds minutes hours days weeks months and years
Man I reckon that it's power fuckin freaks blunts and beers
That ain't what I'm supposed to be
[Devin:] Pimp life!
[Bun B:] That's the life I chose for me
[Devin the Dude - singing:]
I be stickin this dick up in these hoes hoes
'til a couple of bitches bitches get caught by they niggaz
Niggaz trippin
[$hort:] I chose to live the
[Devin:] Pimp life!
[Too $hort:]
Yeah I have menage-a-trois with superstars, one night stands, quickies
Booty calls, it ain't nuttin for her to just stick around here and lick me
Cause I run through broads and never get enough, maybe I'm too selfish
But I cain't help it.. can't stay witchu girl cause I can't tell if it's
Official, or just another ritual
It's hard for me to find a wife, it's nothin for me to, get a hoe
I know it sounds, pitiful, sometimes I'm blessed, sometimes I'm cursed
If it's supposed to be the best then tell me, what's the worst?
I'll be a P-F-L, 'til I'm a old nigga
Cause I never spend my life with groupies, or golddiggers
I see these bitches now, shake it naked tryin to make it
If you spendin all his money take it bitch you can't fake it
When it's real, I'm cappin like the snub-nosed, they pay me
I love hoes, never go home when the club close
I do shows, ride new vogues and keep two hoes
I'm all about this money girl, that's why I chose
To live the pimp life
[Devin:] Pimp life!
[$hort:] I chose to live this life
[Devin:] Pimp life.. pimp life!
[Devin:] I chose to live the, pimp life
[Big Gipp]
People ask me question bout this, people ask me question bout that
Say what? I'm a handsome John motherfucker independent of the nasty-ass cuts
Young, Gipp, still around the corner in the hood
Gipp, still runnin down in the wood
Gipp, still ridin out like vogues
Gipp, still cruise hundred spokes
Straight from the 80's ladies
Grew up in nuttin but dem Grady babies
Pimpin the game since ninety-six
Can't sell a big ol' pimp no box of bricks
Gipp put it down for the A-Town to the Bay to the Oakland foothill strip
Too $hort, Bun B, Devin and Big Gipp yo we all some pimps
Gettin money out the sexual industries
