MOTT THE HOOPLE lyrics - Black Scorpio



(Ian Hunter / Overend Watts)



Momma's little jewel, just left school.

Fresh from the nuns who made you.

I don't know why, but I'm gonna try to re-incelibate you.



True when I hold you near, and i

Come even when I'm on the run, and I'm

Wearing black scorpio faces, when i

Come in the noonday sun.



Momma's little jewel you got the rules

But I'll be the one to educate you

Take what's mine, take a little time

But don't bite the hand that makes you



Laugh in the evening when i

Catch you in the (?)

Wearing black scorpio eyes, when i

Come in the morning sun



What you want I can't buy

Why don't you try it my way

What you look for ain't in the book

And I'm gonna show you someday



You won't rise, you won't shine

You won't bleed if you try, boys

You got brains if your luck changes

You'll have to play with my toys



True when I hold you near, and i

Come even when I'm on the run, and I'm

Wearing black scorpio faces, when i

Come in the noonday sun, and i

Laugh in the evening when i

Catch you in the (?)

Wearing black scorpio faces, when i

Come in the morning sun



Momma's, momma's little jewel

Momma's, momma's little jew-ew-ew-ew-ew

Momma's, momma's little jewel

Momma's, momma's little jew-ew-ew-ew-ew

Momma's, momma's little jewel

Momma's, momma's little jew-ew-ew-ew-ew

WILL SMITH lyrics - Scary Story



[Willow:]

Daddy can you tell me a story?

[Will:]

Oh you wanna hear a story? What kind of story you wanna hear baby?

[Willow:]

A scary story



Oh, ok

Once upon a time there was a kid who wanted nothin' more than to rhyme

Almost like he was born in the rhyme

He thought of his rhymes almost all of the time

And he fought with his mom

His school getting caught with his rhyme book

And he knew he shouldn't of took it there in the first place

At least he shouldn't of been sittin lookin there in her face with it

Teacher told him get it out of her class

Wicked witch, trick told him that's probably why you won't pass

Now if you shy you won't last but you're new

So underneath his breath before he left he said I'm a be richer then you

What you say? She said

What you mean? He said

Boy don't you play, she said

What you mean? He said. Damnit

Ten minutes later standin up in the principles office

Getting handed the phone clammed up cause his father was talking

And he was pissed he wasn't listening to his son

You testing me? You messin up again

You done boy



[Chorus:]

This is just a story about a young man comin up in the rap game

A real scary story

Went from rags to riches it has goblins in it haters and witches. Uh



[Chorus]



First thing he did was find somebody to give him some money

He wasn't stupid but wasn't using his senses honey

The guy's he meant was a little shady, a little funny

But they gave him the money so they played the record company

It sounds silly but when he grew up in Philly rhymin wasn't what it is today

Deals wasn't a dime a dozen

Today every sister, uncle, or mom or cousin gotta record deal

But for real it wasn't like that then

As you could imagine when he started risin to fame and fortune he was

Havin Started antagonizing the guy's he was with

At the same time he started realizing

The deal he got from them guys in his eyes didn't fly with size of his hits

He called a meeting to find a solution

He said I'm gettin beat out of my loot

And I'm not recording no more until we find a solution

The dude's said we found a solution its this.44

He ran for the door a little shaken

But the next day he found a lawyer, told him the situation

He said I'm breakin this contract for ya

He said how much the lawyer said I'm a charge you a quarter cause I like you

Just do me a favor

Get your life in order



[Chorus]


MADONNA lyrics - Crazy For You



Swaying room as the music starts

Strangers making the most of the dark

Two by two their bodies become one



I see you through the smokey air

Can't you feel the weight of my stare

You're so close but still a world away

What I'm dying to say, is that



[Chorus:]



I'm crazy for you

Touch me once and you'll know it's true

I never wanted anyone like this

It's all brand new, you'll feel it in my kiss

I'm crazy for you, crazy for you



Trying hard to control my heart

I walk over to where you are

Eye to eye we need no words at all



Slowly now we begin to move

Every breath I'm deeper into you

Soon we two are standing still in time

If you read my mind, you'll see



[chorus]



It's all brand new, I'm crazy for you

And you know it's true

I'm crazy, crazy for you


BRYAN ADAMS lyrics - Hey Baby



hey baby you oughta be free

you gotta get out and chase all your dreams

there ain't no point in you waiting for me

hey baby you oughta be free



hey baby it's gonna be fine

you goin' your way and me goin' mine

we'll be together somewhere down the line

hey baby it's gonna be fine



hey baby - you got to give it a try

hey baby - spread out your wings and just fly

hey baby - you know that i'm on your side

hey baby - you better take care



harden your heart cause it's lonely out there

it won't be easy and it won't be fair

hey baby you better take care



hey baby - you got to give it a try

hey baby - spread out your wings and just fly

hey baby - you know that i'm on your side



hey baby you gotta be strong

you've had this feeling inside all along

you can only deny yourself for so long

hey baby you gotta be strong


KATE BUSH lyrics - Deeper Understanding



As the people here grow colder

I turn to my computer

And spend my evenings with it

Like a friend.



I was loading a new programme

I had ordered from a magazine:



"Are you lonely, are you lost?

This voice console is a must."

I press Execute.



"Hello, I know that you've been feeling tired.

I bring you love and deeper understanding.

Hello, I know that you're unhappy.

I bring you love and deeper understanding."



Well I've never felt such pleasure.

Nothing else seemed to matter.

I neglected my bodily needs.



I did not eat, I did not sleep,

The intensity increasing,

'Til my family found me and intervened.



But I was lonely, I was lost,

Without my little black box.

I pick up the phone and go, Execute.



"Hello, I know that you've been feeling tired.

I bring you love and deeper understanding.

Hello, I know that you're unhappy.

I bring you love and deeper understanding."



I turn to my computer like a friend.

I need deeper understanding.

Give me deeper understanding.


THE FACES lyrics - Flying



(Ronnie Lane, Ron Wood, Rod Stewart)



I'm flying

across the ocean

and I'm soaring

back home

to the place I was born

and probably raised.

And I'm flying

across the mountains and valleys,

back home to the one that I love so happily.



Can ya' blame me for feeling homesick

'cause I've been away such a very long long time

I served a while in the county jail

five years for being hungry tired and poor



On and on

yes I will follow

with your buttons and bows.

SUZANNE VEGA lyrics - Black Widow Station



I am at your halfway station darling and I've been waiting

For your train.

I am at your halfway station darling and I've been waiting

For your train.

But you've been too long darling and it looks like rain.



I have seen these strange little girls who come up to you

And they don't know when to stop.

I have watched your eye as it follows the line of the leg

Right up to the top.

Now Betty Sue and Mary Jane have come around to play again,

But I am standing at your door and I do believe I'll tell

Them to go home.



There's this black widow spider darling and she's been

Walking on my hand.

There's this black widow spider darling and she's been walking

On my hand.

And we've had this little heart to heart and I think I

Understand.



It's a funny situation, I mean what am I to do?

With Lisa in the upstairs room and Joan and Martha too.

I can't come down to breakfast 'cause the plates have all

Been used.

And it's as crowded as a subway car and I think that you're

Confused.

Now I would wait at your station but I do believe it's time

That I went home.



I am at Black Widow station darling and I've been waiting for

Your train.

I am at Black Widow station darling and I've been waiting for

Your train.

You've been to long darling and it looks like rain.

You've been to long darling and it looks like rain.


DEF LEPPARD lyrics - Two Steps Behind (Acoustic Version)



Walk away if you want to

it's ok, if you need to

you can run, but you can never hide

From the shadow that's creeping up beside you

There's a magic running through your soul

But you can't have it all



(Whatever you do)

I'll be two steps behind you

(Wherever you go)

and I'll be there to remind you

that it only takes a minute of your precious time

to turn around and I'll be two steps behind.



Take the time

to think about it

Walk the line, you know you just can't fight it

Take a look around and see what you can find

Like the fire that's burning up inside me,

There's a magic running through your soul

But you can't have it all



(Whatever you do)

I'll be two steps behind you

(Wherever you go)

and I'll be there to remind you

that it only takes a minute of your precious time

to turn around and I'll be two steps behind.



There's a magic running through your soul

but you, you can't have it all

(Whatever you do)

I'll be two steps behind you

(wherever you go)

and I'll be there to remind you

that it only takes a minute of your precious time

To turn around and I'll be two steps behind.



Two steps behind

yeah, baby

two steps behind

ohh, sugar

two steps behind


JIMMY BUFFETT lyrics - Up On The Housetop



Up on the housetop reindeer paws, out jumps good ol' Santa Claus

Down thru the chimney with lots of toys

All for the little ones, Christmas joy.



Ho ho ho, who wouldn't go,

Ho ho ho, who wouldn't go-o

Up on the housetop, click, click, click

Down thru the chimney with good Saint Nick.



First comes the stocking of little Will

Oh, just see what a glorius fill

Here is a hammer and lots of tacks

Also a ball and a whip that cracks



Ho ho ho, who wouldn't go,

Ho ho ho, who wouldn't go-o

Up on the housetop, click, click, click

Down thru the chimney with good Saint Nick.



Ho ho ho, who wouldn't go,

Ho ho ho, who wouldn't go-o

Up on the housetop, click, click, click

Down thru the chimney with good Saint Nick.


ELVIS COSTELLO lyrics - I Want You



Oh my baby baby I love you more than I can tell

I don't think I can live without you

And I know that I never will

Oh my baby baby I want you so it scares me to death

I can't say anymore than "I love you"

Everything else is a waste of breath

I want you

You've had your fun you don't get well no more

I want you

Your fingernails go dragging down the wall

Be careful darling you might fall

I want you

I woke up and one of us was crying

I want you

You said "Young man I do believe you're dying"

I want you

If you need a second opinion as you seem to do these days

I want you

You can look in my eyes and you can count the ways

I want you

Did you mean to tell me but seem to forget

I want you

Since when were you so generous and inarticulate

I want you

It's the stupid details that my heart is breaking for

It's the way your shoulders shake and what they're shaking for

it's knowing that he knows you now after only guessing

I want you

It's the thought of him undressing you or you undressing

I want you

He tossed some tattered compliment your way

I want you

And you were fool enough to love it when he said

"I want you"

I want you

The truth can't hurt you it's just like the dark

It scares you witless

But in time you see things clear and stark

I want you

Go on and hurt me then we'll let it drop

I want you

I'm afraid I won't know where to stop

I want you

I'm not ashamed to say I cried for you

I want you

I want to know the things you did that we do too

I want you

I want to hear he pleases you more than I do

I want you

I might as well be useless for all it means to you

I want you

Did you call his name out as he held you down

I want you

Oh no my darling not with that clown

I want you

You've had your fun you don't get well no more

I want you

No-one who wants you could want you more

I want you

Every night when I go off to bed and when I wake up

I want you

I want you

I'm going to say it again 'til I instill it

I know I'm going to feel this way until you kill it

I want you

I want you

SINEAD O'CONNOR lyrics - Kingdom Of Rain



Tell me what you're thinking baby

You heart's beating faster than mine

And I know something's going on

In your life

Your life

Your life



You were the girl I wanted to cry with

You were the girl I wanted to die with



And you were the boy who turned in to the man

Broke my heart & let go of my hand

Our bed is empty

The fire is out

And all the love we've got to give

Has all spurted out

There's no more blood and no more pain

In our kingdom of rain



You think you know about life

You think you know about love

But when you put your hands inside me

It doesn't even feel like I'm being touched



You were the boy I wanted to cry with

You were the boy I wanted to die with

You've moved further from my side

Year by year

While still making love

Dutifully sincere

But as silent as the car lights

That move across this room

As cold as our bodies silhouetted by the moon

And I would lie awake & wonder

Is it just me

Or is this the way that love is supposed to be?



Tell me what you told him baby

My heart's beating out of time in my mind

And I know something's going wrong

In our lives



I just wanted somebody to caress, this damsel in distress.

I just wanted somebody to undress, this damsel in distress.

I just wanted somebody to bless, this damsel in distress.

I just wanted somebody to possess, this young girl



Our bed is empty

The fire is out

And all the love we've got to give

Has all spurted out

Our bed is empty

The fire is out

And all the love we've got to give

Has all spurted out

Our bed is empty

The fire is out

And all the love we've got to give

Has all spurted out



There's no more blood and no more pain

In our kingdom of rain...


GOLDEN EARRING lyrics - One Word



(G. Kooymans/B. Hay)



There's a heartache, come over me

Can't be imagination

I worry and I cry for you

Guess I'll have to learn to live with it

A heartache hauntin' me

Feels like electrocution

I'm hurt, you never understood

One word, one word



Who are you, sittin' on your throne

I used to be a slave in your temple

Now you tell me that you're so alone

On the run for your life

One look through the eyes of a stranger

One night in the arms of a fool

One glance down the shaft of a goldmine

Nothin' could be better, nothin' could be better



Do now, do now what you wanna do

Tell a lie now, tell the truth

There's gotta be more than a thousand roads to Rome

So follow your footsteps home

One word, makes all a difference in the world

One word

One is being born

Two is what you're going for

Three is the price you pay

For what you've been lookin' for

And the word is love, love

One look through the eyes of a stranger

One night in the arms of a fool

One glance down the shaft of a goldmine

Nothin' could be better, nothin' could be better



Do now, do now what you wanna do

Tell a lie now, tell the truth

There's gotta be more than a thousand roads to Rome

So follow your footsteps home



One look through the eyes of a stranger

One night in the arms of a fool

One glance down the shaft of a goldmine

Nothin' could be better, nothin' could be better

One word, makes all a difference in the world

Make one hell of a difference in the world

One word, one single word


IRVING BERLIN lyrics - Maid Of Mesh



[Verse:]

I have seen each and ev'ry queen

In the fashion shows

I've seen them pose

In lovely clothes

But the best is the maiden dressed

In a costume made of mesh

Dressed in her new creation

She'll cause a big sensation



[Refrain:]

Maid of mesh

In a gown all made of mesh

All the boys are wild over you



Maid of mesh

In a plat'num setting

You will soon be getting

All the love and petting too



You'll find that Tommy, Harry, Freddy and Paul

Have tripped and slipped and now they're getting ready



Right from the start

Ev'ry fellow lost his heart

To the pretty little maid of mesh all made of mesh

DARYL HALL AND JOHN OATES lyrics - Melody For A Memory



(Words & Music by John Oates)



One for the money

One song I'm writing for you

And if you can't take me with you girl

Take this Melody for a Memory

Love in the morning

Love in the late afternoon

There'll be no words when I leave you girl

Just a Melody for a Memory

And if you can't take me with you

Take this Melody for a Memory

She cried when he left her

Her eyes went black with the blue

The infrequent letters

The sooner the better

The cold distant phone calls

Will have to do

And if you can't take me with you

Take this Melody for a Memory

Take part of me, take part of me

Take this Melody for a Memory


TOO $HORT (TOO SHORT) lyrics - Burn Rubber



Inside beotch

Yeah you know about that, real players

The real ones



I burn rubber on you quick as hell

You need some toilet paper, don't shit on yourself

When you see me rollin in luxury

I won't fuck witchu, so don't fuck with me

I'm just ridin, sidin, whippin and dippin

I look at all the young hoes trippin

It's no big deal when little hotties get hot

When niggaz get jealous, somebody get shot

You in love? Might make you lose your mind

That's why I run these gray girls, two at a time

With no discretion, to me you're so depressin

Actin like you don't know, my profession

I look at them thighs, and look at them titties

Take your ass straight on out, of Sin City

Wearin all pink just like Hello Kitty

Bringin back all C-notes and no fifties



[scratched: "so damn.." "..fresh", "word"]



Burnin rubber on these bitches, so fast..

Burn rubber as you smash all fast

Tell it like $hort, no ass, no pass

All you Santa Claus players, be on your way

With a bag full of toys on the back of your sleigh

You hit your girls house, one by one

Climb down the chimney, and give 'em all somethin

You trick, don't come around me frontin

Talkin 'bout how you pimpin givin hoes what they wantin

You worse than a studio gangsta

Behind closed doors, gettin his bootyhole spanked up

You suckers disrespect the game

All these video hoes out there spittin your name

You love it when they make that, ass clap

But she don't give me no cash, I'll pass it back

... I kick her where she stash the crack

In the plastic sack, when she crash the 'llac

Punk bitch!



[scratched: "so damn.." "..fresh", "word"]



They tryin to give the rap game to some real punks

It's just like when disco, killed the funk

Can't tell me nothin, when I know I'm right

Like a bowlegged bitch with a overbite, that suck it right

Player this pimp don't lie

How many porn stars you know that went to Crenshaw High?

A lot of fuckin for a whole lot of nuttin

You just wannabe noticed so you're out there sluttin

I never really cared about popular fame

It's all about sittin on top of the game

So don't stop 'til your panties drop

Fuck the mayor, the preacher, and a cop

You better tell him what it cost, get his mind on track

Cause he look like he lost

Bring him back, and dig in his pockets quick

Steal his watch, and make sure he got a drop, beotch



[scratched: "so damn.." "..fresh", "word"]


DIONNE WARWICK lyrics - Alfie



What's it all about, Alfie?

Is it just for the moment we live?

What's it all about when you sort it out, Alfie?

Are we meant to take more than we give

or are we meant to be kind?

And if only fools are kind, Alfie,

then I guess it's wise to be cruel.

And if life belongs only to the strong, Alfie,

what will you lend on an old golden rule?

As sure as I believe there's a heaven above, Alfie,

I know there's something much more,

something even non-believers can believe in.

I believe in love, Alfie.

Without true love we just exist, Alfie.

Until you find the love you've missed you're nothing, Alfie.

When you walk let your heart lead the way

and you'll find love any day, Alfie, Alfie.


RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS lyrics - Backwoods



Someone spilled blood many years ago

someone spilled blood but do you know

that from the backwoods

where the Chuck Berrys grow

come your long tall

daddies of a rock and roll



Take me to your backwoods now

take me to your backwoods now



Spinning' down from the clouds

like a tornado

spinnin' out of control

like a psychedelic soul

with a rhythm hittin' harder

than Larry Holmes

come your long tall

daddies of rock and roll



Take me to your backwoods now

take me to your backwoods now



Mr. Uplift Mofo - my man Bo Diddley

hit sippin' a bottle of nickle ripple

play the lickity split finger licking licks

for all you wicked city slick chicks

and all you nitty gritty hick

we'll make your nipples ripple

make you wanna dip your dipple

make you wanna soak your hickory stick

because my man has a grip on it

and I do mean on it

which brings to mind

a very sinister minister kind of guy

a man named Little Richard

born to make them bitches stir

that's right he'll make the sweet substance drip

from the middle of your hillbilly lips

and like the farmer milk his cow

the Howling Wolf will howl

and since times does allow

you all can



Take me to your backwoods now

Take me to your backwoods now

Take me to your backwoods now


THE FLAMING LIPS lyrics - Bad Days



You're sorta stuck where you are

But in your dreams you can buy expensive cars

Or live on Mars

And have it your way



And you hate your boss at your job

Well, in your dreams you can blow his head off

In your dreams

Show no mercy



And all your bad days will end

And all your bad days will end

You have to sleep late when you can

And all your bad days will end

LINDA RONSTADT lyrics - I Can't Let Go



(Chip Taylor and Al Gorgon)



Oh I tried and I tried but I can't say good-bye

Feel so bad baby

Oh it hurts me

When I think of how you love and desert me

I'm the broken-hearted toy you play with



You got me going

I need you baby

I can't let go

And I want you baby

I gotta have all your love

I can't let go



Though I'm just one of your lovers

And I know there are so many others

You do something strange to me baby



You got me going

I need you baby

I can't let go

And I want you baby

I gotta have all your love

I can't let go



Oh I tried and I tried but I can't say good-bye

I know that it's wrong and I should be so strong

But the thought of you gone

Makes me want to hold on



You got me going

I need you baby

I can't let go

And I want you baby

I gotta have all your love

I can't let go



You got me going

I need you baby

I can't let go

And I want you baby

I gotta have all your love

I can't let go



I can't let go

I can't let go

I can't let go

I can't let go

I can't let go


VINCE NEIL lyrics - Another Piece Of Meat



(Rudolf Schenker, Herman Rarebell)



[Originally by The Scorpions (1979)]



Met her down at that Tokyo place

Loved her pretty face

I said: "Hey, you're alright, so alright!"

I was sitting in her car

She told me: "You're a star and I know you."



She said: "Take me home."

I need love so strong

Come on and knock me out, oh!

I've been too long alone

I want hot love, you know, and I need it now!"



She said: "Hey, let's go, don't put on a show

You're just another piece, another piece of meat"

She said: "Hey, let's go, don't put on a show

You're just another piece --

Another piece of meat."



Next day she took me out

To a rough kick boxing show

Violence really turned her on, oh no

She was screaming for more blood

Loved it more than any drug I couldn't stand it



I said: "Hey, let's go, don't put on a show

You're just another piece, another piece of meat"

Said: "Hey, let's go, don't put on a show

You're just another piece --

Another piece of meat."


KMFDM lyrics - Today



Isolation

When you leave its like I disappear

Desolation

Everytime you go it feels like

Seconds slowly turn to minutes

A month of sundays coming up

Time again pulls me under

Wonder if I'll rise above

It's too much but not enough



Misery loves company

For a little bit of sympathy



It's here today but it's gone tommorrow

It's here today and today will never come again



Desperation

Sinking into somewhere dark and cold



Deviation

A place I knew I did not want to go

To forget is all I know



Minutes slowly turn to hours

Another moment passes by

Seconds of eternity

I wonder if it's time to say goodbye


BARRY MANILOW lyrics - Put A Quarter In The Jukebox



Barry:

She said she'd always love me

She said she'd never leave me

Then I wake up this mornin'

She's gone without warnin'



Ronnie:

I know what you've been through, pal

My woman left me too, pal

I'm drinkin' to what it used to be

Here's a toast the drinks to me

Both:

What this joint needs is some music,

someone...

Put a quarter in the jukebox

and we'll both forget about her

make the music louder someone...

Put a quarter in the jukebox

And we'll sing our cares away

Tomorrow is another day



Ronnie:

Another round on me, pal

I feel the same you see, pal

It's hard to face this endless day

I've gotta drink the hurt away

Both:

Hey, this joint needs some more music

someone...



Barry:

It feels just like a dream

We were such a winning team

Oh I'm sure it's true that love is blind

Cause leavin' never crossed my mind



Barry:

What'll I do with the nights now that

she's gone



Ronnie:

What'll I do when the nights go on

and on someone

RUN-D. M.C. lyrics - Rock The House



[Some original lyrics, but most lyrics scratched and mixed in from other tracks on the album]



And this is the way...We rock the house

SOCIAL DISTORTION lyrics - Under My Thumb



Under my thumb's the girl

Who once had me down

Under my thumb's the girl

Who once fucked me around

It's down to me

The way she does when she stole the truth out of me

Change has come, she's under my thumb



Under my thumb's

The squirmin' dog who's just had her day

Under my thumb's

A girl who has just changed her ways

It's down to me



The difference in the clothes she wears, down to me

Change has come, she's under my thumb



Under my thumb

It's a siamese

Cat of a girl

Under my thumb

Well, she's the sweetest

Pet in the world

It's down to me



The way she does as wash your soul out of me

Change has come, she's under my thumb



Under my thumb

Her eyes are just kept

To herself

Under my thumb

Well, I

I can still look at someone else

It's down to me



The way she comes when I tell here to laugh at me

Change has come, she's under my thumb

Yeah

RINGO STARR lyrics - Take The Long Way Home



So you think you're a Romeo

Playing a part in a picture show

Take the long way home

take the long way home



'Cause you're the joke

of the neighbourhood

Why should you care



if you're feeling good

Take the long way home,

take the long way home



But there are times that you feel

you're part of the scenery

All the greenery is coming down boy

And then your wife seems to think

you're part of the furniture

Oh it's peculiar, she used to be so nice



When lonely days turn to lonely nights

You take a trip to the city lights

And take the long way home

take the long way home



You never see what you want to see

Forever playing to the gallery

You take the long way home,

take the long way home



And when you're up on stage,

it's so unbelievable

Unforgettable - how they adore you

But then your wife seems to think

you're losing your sanity

Oh, calamity, is there no way out



Well does it feel that your life's

become a catastrophe

Oh it has to be for you to grow boy

And when you look through the years

and see what you could have been

Oh what you might have been -

if you'd had more time



So when the day comes

to settle down

Well who's to blame

if you're not around

You took the long way home

Took the long way home...


PETER GABRIEL lyrics - Flume



[Originally by Bon Iver]



I am my mother's only one

It's enough

I wear my garment so it shows

Now you know



Only love is all maroon

Gluey feathers on a flume

Sky is womb and she's the moon



I am my mother on the wall,

With us all

I move in water, shore to shore;

Nothing's more



Only love is all maroon

Lapping lakes like leary loons

Leaving rope burns

Reddish ruse



Only love is all maroon

Gluey feathers on a flume

Sky is womb and she's the moon


MADONNA lyrics - Oh What A Circus



[Che:]

Oh what a circus, oh what a show

Argentina has gone to town

Over the death of an actress called Eva Peron

We've all gone crazy

Mourning all day and mourning all night

Falling over ourselves to get all of the misery right



Oh what an exit, that's how to go

When they're ringing your curtain down

Demand to be buried like Eva Peron

It's quite a sunset

And good for the country in a roundabout way

We've made the front page of all the world's papers today



But who is this Santa Evita?

Why all this howling, hysterical sorrow?

What kind of goddess has lived among us?

How will we ever get by without her?



She had her moments, she had some style

The best show in town was the crowd

Outside the Casa Rosada crying, "Eva Peron"

But that's all gone now

As soon as the smoke from the funeral clears

We're all gonna see and how, she did nothing for years



[Crowd:]



Salve regina mater misericordiae

Vita dulcedo et spes nostra

Salve salve regina

Ad te clamamus exules filii Eva

Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes

O clemens o pia

Hail, oh queen, mother of mercy

Our life, sweetness, and hope

Hail, hail, oh queen

To you we cry, exiled sons of Eve

To you we sigh, mourning and weeping

Oh clement, oh loving one



[Che:]

You let down your people Evita

You were supposed to have been immortal

That's all they wanted, not much to ask for

But in the end you could not deliver



Sing you fools, but you got it wrong

Enjoy your prayers because you haven't got long

Your queen is dead, your king is through

And she's not coming back to you



Show business kept us all alive

Since seventeen October 1945

But the star has gone, the glamour's worn thin

That's a pretty bad state for a state to be in



Instead of government we had a stage

Instead of ideas, a prima donna's rage

Instead of help we were given a crowd

She didn't say much, but she said it loud



Sing you fools, but you got it wrong

Enjoy your prayers because you haven't got long

Your queen is dead, your king is through

She's not coming back to you



[Crowd:]

Salve regina mater misericordiae

Vita dulcedo et spes nostra

Salve salve regina Peron

Ad te clamamus exules filii Eva

Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes

O clemens o pia



[Eva:]

Don't cry for me Argentina

For I am ordinary, unimportant

And undeserving of such attention

Unless we all are, I think we all are

So share my glory, so share my coffin

So share my glory, so share my coffin



[Che:]

It's our funeral too

HELLOWEEN lyrics - The King For A 1000 Years



Wouldn't it be nice

To plunder with your eyes

Whatever there's for you to see

Is yours to be

Let me be there

Just tell me you don't care

Just say you pay me afterlife

However high the price



I know your secrets

I know it all



I know your secrets

I see the hidden without light

I am your sickness

Bitting you right behind your eyes

Don't try to kill me

I cannot die, a death you know

You and I will be

Heaven above and hell below



Brother, believe me

Father, conceive me

Perceive me



Time will be a turning wheel

We shove or retard

Time will a toy

Time we will enjoy

Say you want to live forever

Minus one day

Say you will obey and I



I will show - I will show

I will show your Reich of gold

And I will show - I will show

I will show you friend and foe



Wouldn't it be nice

To reign and to decide

Whatever there's attracting you

Will give its due to you

Let me be there

Just say you want to share

A power no one will withstand

Just be my human hand



I know your secrets

You want it all



I will show - I will show

I will show you Reich of gold

And I will show - I will show

I will show you friend and foe



[Solo]



Alienation, elimination, chaos, no exoneration

No believers, all deceivers, no illusion, executions



We are King For A 1000 Years

We are king of a million tears

We're the ones who bring desire

Binding their greed and fears

We are king of fallen men

We are keepers of the damned

Turning hope into obsession

We are the king

We are The King For A 1000 Years



Ages of fire - Aeon of darkness, fear and hate

Wake up my creatures

Stand up you bringers of man's fate

No one can kill us

We cannot die, a death one knows

Mankind is sleeping

My victory near, their end so close



I know their secrets

I know it all



[Solo]



Goodbye sorrows

Borrow me your hand to turn the key

Release me - Believe me

Goddbye sorrows

Never more you have to fear futurity

Goodbye sorrows

Borrow me your hand to turn the key

Conceive me



Time will be a turning wheel

We shove or retard

Time will a toy

Time we will enjoy

Say you want to live forever

Minus one day

Say you will obey and I



I will show - I will show

I will show your Reich of gold

And I will show - I will show

I will show you friend and foe



We are King For A 1000 Years

We are king of a million tears

We're the ones who bring desire

Binding their greed and fears

We are king of fallen men

We are keepers of the damned

Turning hope into obsession

We are the king

We are The King For A 1000 Years


THE TOY DOLLS lyrics - I've Got Asthma



I've got asthma and I can not breath

Can't breath at all!

I've got an inhaler with me

I am choking and my face is blue

Blue and it's getting worse!

I think I will have to lie down... coz



[Chorus:]

I've got ASTHMA yeah I've got ASTHMA

Yeah I've got ASTHMA...



I've got asthma and I am wheezing

Wheezing like mad!

I don't think I will sleep tonight

I think I'll reach for my inhaler

Good idea!

I hope it makes me feel better... coz



[Chorus]



My inhaler needs a refill

What shall I do?

The Chemist is not open yet

Blue face, can't breath and I'm still wheezing

Dear me! dear me!

I just do not know what to do... coz



[Chorus]


MIKE OLDFIELD lyrics - I Got Rhythm



(music and lyrics by George Gershwin arranged by Mike Oldfield sung by Wendy Roberts)



I got sunshine,

I got blue sky.

I got my guy,

Who could ask for anything more?



Old man trouble,

I don't mind him.

You won't find him

Hangin' 'round my door.



I got rhythm,

I got music.

I got my guy,

Who could ask for anything more?



I got rhythm,

I got music.

I got my guy,

Who could ask for anything more?



I got sunshine,

I got blue sky.

I got my guy,

Who could ask for anything more?



I got starlight,

I got sweet dreams.

I got my guy,

Who could ask for anything more?



Old man trouble,

I don't mind him.

You won't find him

Hangin' 'round my door.



I got rhythm,

I got music.

I got my guy,

Who could ask for anything more?

REBA MCENTIRE lyrics - One Promise Too Late



(Dave Loggins/Lisa Silver/Don Schlitz)



I would have waited forever

If I'd known that you'd be here

We could have shared our lives together

And held each other close all through the years

But I've met someone before you

And my heart just couldn't wait

So no matter how much I adore you

I've got to stand behind the promise that I made



Where were you

When I could have loved you

Where were you

When I gave my heart away

All my life I've been dreaming of you

You came along one promise too late

You came along one promise too late



I won't say that I'm sorry that I met you

I can't have you but I never will forget you



Where were you

When I could have loved you

Where were you

When I gave my heart away

All my life I've been dreaming of you

You came along one promise too late

You came along one promise too late



Where were you

When I could have loved you

Where were you

When I gave my heart away

All my life I've been dreaming of you

You came along one promise too late

You came along one promise too late


MELISSA ETHERIDGE lyrics - Resist



The sign says do not enter

No trespassing allowed

With visions of redemption

I walk against the crowd

The sun is white with envy

Confusion on the ground

Breathing soft and holy

Temptation's only sound



A demon's day in madness kissed

I swear I never had it like this

Forbidden yet I cannot resist



Shocked in silent trances

Our eyes search just to know

What makes flesh and body hunger

For another burning soul

Conscience quiet pleading

In the corner of my eye

But seeing is believing

All consequences fly



A demon's day in madness kissed

I swear I never had it like this

Forbidden yet I cannot resist



With fever I persist

The rages of your kiss

My reckless heart in fist

And I cannot resist



A demon's day in madness kissed

I swear I never had it like this

Forbidden yet I cannot resist

SANDRA lyrics - Don't Be Aggressive



(Cretu-Hirschburger/Cretu)



You came around here today

And again you were so cold

I could see it in your eyes

When I tried to touch you

I just can't understand

What happened

I just know I love you



There may be a trouble

There may be pain

But there I am

I am longin' for you

Tell me your wishes

Tell me your dreams

I'll do everything for you

But please don't be aggressive



Don't be aggressive

Don't be a fool

Don't be aggressive

Don't be so cruel

Just love me

Don't be aggressive to me



There was a time not long ago

Our love was young

You were totally different

And I felt safe in your arms

Now tell me what made you change

What made your heart turn to stone

I could be your friend

I could be your slave

I could be everything

That you want me to

But baby don't be aggressive



Don't be aggressive

Don't be a fool

Don't be aggressive

Don't be so cruel

Just love me

Don't be aggressive to me



Don't be aggressive

Don't be a fool

Better love me

Don't be aggressive


THE HOLLIES lyrics - Too Many People



(Ransford)



There's a story that I read about in books

About the bad times that people had

That's how he planned it

You can't do nowt about it

Too many people



The black plague came along and wiped out quite a few

The rats came with the graves, that's how we knew

That's how he planned it

You can't do nowt about it

Too many people



This ain't no story

No fairy tale

These things have happened once before

Ask yourself the question

When will it end

There ain't no foolin' death

So you just gotta sit and wait



[Break]



Too many people

Too many people



This ain't no story

No fairy tale

These things have happened once before

Ask yourself the question

When will it end

There ain't no foolin' death

So you just gotta sit and wait



A million people died

In great wars, that we know

They sacrificed their lives

Just goes to show

That's how he planned it

You can't do nowt about it



Too many people (there's too many people)

Too many people

Too many people

Too many people oh yeah


JOAN BAEZ lyrics - Maria Dolores



(F. Garcia, J. Morillo)



Dioste ha dado la gracia del cielo Maria Dolores

Yen tus ojos, en vez de miradas hay rayos de sol

Dejame que te cante morena de mis amores

Un Bolero que ensalce tu garboque estan espanol, Ole ole!



Te mueves mejor que las olas

Y tienes la garcia del cielo la noche en tu

Pelo mujer espanola, Ole, ole!



Tus ojos son tan pintu reros

Que cuando los miro de cerca prendido

En su embrujo soy su prisionero



Ole, ole!

Envida te tienen las fiores

Que lievas esencia en tu en

Trana del aire de Espana Maria Dolores



Ole, ole!

Par linda graciosa te quiero

En vez de decirte piropos Maria Dolores

Te canto un Bolero

Ole, ole, ole!


RAY CHARLES lyrics - Ev'rybody Loves You



I wonder what you're dreaming while you're sleeping.

I'll never know.

You'll never know.

Now at last the world cannot come peeping

Into the thoughts you call your own.

You close your eyes and you're alone.

You're in a world that' s bright and new

And there is no one in it but you.



Comfy and cozy,

All the world is rosy.

Ev'rybody loves you when you're asleep.

Too late to start now

Taking things apart now.

Ev'rybody loves you when you're asleep.



You forget

Your alphabet

When you've been counting sheep

Does my dreamer know troubles will keep?

Comfy and cozy

All the world is rosy.

Ev'rybody loves you

When you're asleep.


GREG BROWN lyrics - Help Me Make It Through This Funky Day



Well the coffee boiled and the sun fled

Ah there's grime on the windows, and the streets are dead

It been Tuesday all week and it's Tuesday again

Today is a Parisian, I am an American



And I know it ain't, I know I ain't, I hope you ain't gonna go away

Ah will ya help me help me help me help me help me help me make it through this funky day

Ah will ya help me help me help me help me baby will ya help me

Ya gotta help me make it through this funky day



It look like February 19th and November 8th

They had an ugly little baby and they're gonna call it Today

Ah my face feel like clay every time I try to grin

And I think I might cry if I try to grin again



Oh but I know it ain't, I know I ain't, I hope you ain't gonna go away

Ah will ya help me help me help me help me help me help me make it through this funky day

Ah will ya help me help me help me help me baby will ya help me

Ya gotta help me make it through this funky day



I don't want to go out because I'm tired of the door

I'm tired of everybody actin like it's wierded out 1954

It's just the year of the barfly. It's just the month of the roach

Hold on to my shoulders, baby, I'm sinkin so low



And I know it ain't, I know I ain't, I hope you ain't gonna go away

Ah will ya help me help me help me help me help me help me make it through this funky day

Ah will ya help me help me help me help me help me help me help me make it through this

Help me make it

Ah will ya baby will ya help me

Oh will ya baby will ya help me make it through this

Ya gotta help me

Help me help me help me make it through this funky day

It's just another, it's just another

It's just another, it's just another

It's just another funky funky funky funky funky day.


BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN lyrics - Highway 29



I slipped on her shoe, she was a perfect size seven

I said "There's no smokin' in the store ma'am."

She crossed her legs and then

We made some small talk that's where it should have stopped

She slipped me her number, I put it in my pocket

My hand slipped up her skirt, everything slipped my mind

In that little roadhouse

On Highway 29



It was a small town bank it was a mess

Well I had a gun you know the rest

Money on the floorboards, shirt was covered in blood

And she was cryin', her and me we headed south

On Highway 29



In a little desert motel the air was hot and clean

I slept the sleep of the dead, I didn't dream

I woke in the morning, washed my face in the sink

We headed into the Sierra Madres 'cross the border line

The winter sun shot through the black trees

I told myself it was all something in her

But as we drove I knew it was something in me

Something that'd been comin' for a long long time

And something that was here with me now

On Highway 29



The road was filled with broken glass and gasoline

She wasn't sayin' nothin', it was just a dream

The wind come silent through the windshield

All I could see was snow, sky and pines

I closed my eyes and I was runnin'

I was runnin' then I was flyin'


KENNY NOLAN lyrics - Love's Grown Deep



I love you, so much

Somewhere back in time

You became a friend of mine

And day by day we've grown a little closer

You're my spirit to be strong

A friend when things go wrong

So I've written down these words to let you know



Loves grown deep, deep into the heart of me

You've become a part of me

Let us plant the seed and watch it grow

Loves grown deep, deep into the heart of me

You've become a part of me



As we travel down the road

Side-by-side we'll share the load

Hand-in-hand we'll see each other through

Though weve only just begun

Let's count our blessings one-by-one

I thank God for life, I thank God for you



Loves grown deep, deep into the heart of me

You've become a part of me

Let us plant the seed and watch it grow

Loves grown deep, deep into the heart of me

You've become a part of me



And as the seasons slip away

Forever lovers we will stay

Together, do-or-die, with all our hearts



Loves grown deep, deep into the heart of me

You've become a part of me

Let us plant the seed and watch it grow

Loves grown deep, deep into the heart of me

You've become a part of me

MADONNA lyrics - Holiday



Holiday Celebrate

Holiday Celebrate



[Chorus:]



If we took a holiday

Took some time to celebrate

Just one day out of life

It would be, it would be so nice



Everybody spread the word

We're gonna have a celebration

All across the world

In every nation

It's time for the good times

Forget about the bad times, oh yeah

One day to come together

To release the pressure

We need a holiday



[chorus]



You can turn this world around

And bring back all of those happy days

Put your troubles down

It's time to celebrate

Let love shine

And we will find

A way to come together

And make things better

We need a holiday



[chorus]



Holiday Celebrate

Holiday Celebrate



[chorus]



Holiday Celebrate

Holiday Celebrate



Holiday, Celebration

Come together in every nation


BARRY MANILOW lyrics - I'm Gettin' Sentimental Over You



I'm gettin' sentimental over you

Things you say and do

Just thrill me through and through

I'm gettin' sentimental over you

I thought I was happy

I could live without love

Now I must admit

Love is all that I'm thinking of

Won't you please be kind

And just make up your mind

That you'll be sweet and gentle

Be gentle with me

Because I'm sentimental over you

Now I must admit

Love is all that I'm thinking of

Won't you please be kind

And just make up your mind

That you'll be sweet and gentle

Be gentle with me

Because I'm sentimental over you


DAVID BOWIE lyrics - If I'm Dreaming My Life



Was she never there?

Was she ever?

Was it air she breathed?

At the wrong time



All the flowers so

From the gallery

with the hymns of night

Singing "come to me"

At the wrong time

On the wrong day

All the lights are fading now

If I'm dreaming all my life



Just one living chance

When the mother sighs

When the father steps aside

At the wrong time



Was she never here?

Was she ever?

Was it air she breathed?

At the wrong time

On the wrong day

All the lights are fading now

If I'm dreaming all my life

If I'm dreaming all my life away

Dreaming my life

Dreaming my [x3]

Dreaming my life

Dreaming my life, away (oh ho)



[Repeat]

VAN HALEN lyrics - Love Walks In



Contact is all that it takes

To change your life, to lose your place in time

Contact. Asleep or awake

Coming around you may wake up to find

(Ooo-ooo-ooo)

Questions deep within your eyes

(Ooo-ooo-ooo)

Now more than ever, you realize

(Ooo-ooo)



And then you sense a change

Nothin' feels the same

All your dreams are strange

Love comes walkin' in

Some kind of alien

Waits for the opening

Simply pulls a string



Another world, some other time

You lay your sanity on the line

Familiar faces, familiar sights

Reach back, remember with all your might



(Ooo-ooo-ooo)

Ooh, and there she stands in a silken gown

(Ooo-ooo-ooo)

Silver lights shinin' down

(Ooo-ooo)



And then you sense a change

Nothin' feels the same

All your dreams are strange

Love comes walkin' in

Some kind of alien

Waits for the opening

Simply pulls a string

Love comes walkin' in



(Guitar Solo)



Oh, sleep and dream; that's all I crave

I travel far across the milky way

To my master I become a slave

'Til we meet again some other day



(Ooo-ooo-ooo)

Where silence speaks as loud as war

(Ooo-ooo-ooo)

Earth returns to what it was before

(Ooo-ooo)



And then you sense a change

Nothin' feels the same

All your dreams are strange

Love comes walkin' in

Some kind of alien

Waits for the opening

Simply pulls a string

Love comes walkin' in



(Guitar Solo)



Love comes walkin' in

Baby, pull the string

Love comes walkin' in

Love comes walkin' in, yeah!

Huh-uh! Ye-ah, oh-oh oh


CARLY SIMON lyrics - Rolling Down The Hills



(Carly Simon)



People who have bad times

Write hard luck songs

But when their days are green

They think about love

Sunshine, flowers in a garden

Did I bump you sir?

I'm beggin' your pardon

have you seen such a day?

Let's begin it by startin' -

And rollin' down the hills with me.



People who have short hair

Write short hair songs

But when their hair gets long

They think about winding it around in daisy chains

Waitin' for the showers

Just to wash it in the rain

Have you seen such hair?

Well let the wind play -

As you're rollin' down the hills with me



People who have no hills

Write songs about plains

But if that's not what you want to do

Well you can jump aboard a bus

Or boat or wooden canoe

I know just the mountain

That's been waitin' for you

Too write songs about the peaks

And the beautiful views -

As you're rollin' down the hills with me.


SPARKS lyrics - Dance Godammit



(Ron & Russell Mael)



It's the sound

Of today

Played so loud

You're in pain

I feel good

Really great

As I talk

To my feet

Dance Godammit



Dance Godammit



I get scared

When I'm alone

So I don't

Stay alone

I like clubs

I like girls

I like music

And that's it

Dance Godammit

Dance Godammit



I do leaps

I do splits

I do spins

I do dips

Wanna dance?

Do you wanna dance?



I get scared

When I'm alone

Ah, don't leave me

All alone

Wanna dance

Wanna dance

Wanna dance?

Do you wanna dance?

Dance Godammit

Dance Godammit


LOBO lyrics - All For The Love Of A Girl



(Johnny Horton)



Well today I'm so weary

Today I'm so blue

Sad and broken hearted

And it's all because of you



Life was a sweet girl

Live was a song

But now you've gone and left me

Tell me where did I go wrong



And it's all for the love

Of a dear little girl

All for the love

That sets my life in a whirl



I'm a man who'd give his life

And the joys of this world

All for the love of a girl

LINDA RONSTADT lyrics - So Right, So Wrong



(Paul Carrack, Nick Lowe, Martin Belmont, J E Ceiling, J Eller)



I was walking down the street

With a lot of not much to do

Wondering only if it was gonna rain

When this guy came into view

For a moment I looked crazy

And at first I couldn't work out why

Then something made me turn back the hands of time

To a careless past goodbye



Say you will change your mind

Don't be cruel

I'll be kind

You're so right

You're so wrong

So tough

So right

So wrong

You're so good



When he walked up

Me I stood there

With this picture in my mind

It was a flash like an old photograph

I keep with me all the time

Fished for silver in my pocket

Then I ran for the telephone

I dialed the number of all the reasons

Why you should button up and come on home



Say you will change your mind

Don't be cruel

I'll be kind

You're so right

You're so wrong

You're so tough

So right

So wrong

You're so good



Say you will change your mind

Don't be cruel

I'll be kind

You're so right

We're so wrong

You're so tough

So right

So wrong

You're so good

So right

So wrong

We're so tough

And so strong


MARIAH CAREY lyrics - After Tonight



I look at you looking at me

Feels like a feeling meant to be

And as your body moves with mine

It's iike I'm lifted out of time



And time again

Patientiy I've waited

For this moment to arrive



After tonight

Will you remember

How sweet and tenderly

You reached for me

And pulled me closer

After you go

Will you return to love me

After tonight begins to fade



I feel your touch caressing me

This feeling's all l'll ever need

With every kiss from your sweet lips

It's like I'm drifting out of time



Alone will tell

If you feel the way I feel

When I look in your eyes



After tonight

Will you remember

How sweet and tenderly

You reached for me

And pulled-me closer

After you go

Will you return to love me

After the night becomes the day



Time

And time and time again

So patiently I've waited

For this moment to arrive



After tonight

Will you remember

How sweet and tenderly

You reached for me

And pulled me closer

After you go

Baby will you return to love me

After the night becomes the day

After tonight begins to fade


FRANK SINATRA lyrics - Secret Love



(P. Francis Webster, S. Fain)



[Recorded Januaru 28, 1964, Los Angeles]



Once I had a secret love that lived within the heart of me,

All too soon my secret love became impatient to be free.

So I asked a friendly star the way that lovers often do

Just how wonderful you are and why I'm so in love with you.

Now I shout it from the highest hill, even told the golden daffodils,

And now my heart's an open door, and my secret love's no secret any more.

BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD lyrics - Hung Upside Down



Look what's happening to me,

I'm going blind, please help.

There I sat until three,

Gettin' further behind myself.

Bymyself.



And I'm hung upside down. [2x]

Hung upside down, said I'm

Hung upside down, c'mon, c'mon.

Hung upside down.



Someday I will be free,

And there'll be times, you just wait.

I will come to you, see,

What I'll bring you when I get straight,

Oh it's too late.



And I'm hung upside down. [2x]

Hung upside down, said I'm

Hung upside down, c'mon, c'mon.

Hung upside down.


A-HA lyrics - Scoundrel Days



Was that somebody screaming...

It wasn't me for sure

I lift my head up from uneasy

pillows

Put my feet on the floor

Cut my wrist on a bad thought

And head for the door



Outside on the pavement

The dark makes no noise

I can feel the sweat on my lips

Leaking into my mouth

I'm heading out for the steep hills

They're leaving me no choice



And see...as our lives are in the making

We believe through the lies and the hating

That love goes free



For want of an option

I run the wind 'round

I dream pictures of houses burning

Never knowing nothing else to do

With death comes the morning

Unannounced and new



Was it too much to ask for

To pull a little weight...

They forgive anything but greatness

These are scoundrel days

And I'm close to calling out their names

As pride hits my face

See...as our lives are in the making

We believe through their lies and the hating

That love goes free through

scoundrel days



I reach the edge of town

I've got blood in my hair

Their hands touch my body

From everywhere

But I know that I've made it

As I run into the air



And see...as our lives are in the making

We believe through the lies and the hating

That love goes free

Through scoundrel days


SLASH'S SNAKEPIT lyrics - Speed Parade



They come and they go when they want me

I sit and I wait my turn

I want to let go but I can't see

All I know is from what I've learned



Hitchhiker born to the side of the road

Got your thumb out, climb in

Shut your mouth, and do what you're told

This is where the ride begins



Heads up, the mountain's comin' down

Like a ball and chain

Stand up, the best is all around

The question is would you like to calm the insane



It goes on and on, just like a speed parade

It goes on and on, 'til the tail lights reached my head



Here lies a rude instigator or so he says

Is he movin', movin', movin', movin'

Or does he lie there and just play dead?



Heads up, the mountain's comin' down

Like a ball and chain

Stand up, the best is all around

The question is would you like to calm the insane



It goes on and on, just like a speed parade

It goes on and on, 'til the driver drops dead



Gotta get on the road or get on your knees

See the boy play, he plays for speed

Faster boy, put your foot on the floor

Salivating, he just wants more



Here come the calm with the bold insane

I can feel it like a ball and chain

When the question stands, does the shit remain?



It goes on and on, just like a speed parade

It goes on and on, 'til the tail lights reached my head


KISS lyrics - Sure Know Something



I've been up and down, I've been all around

I was mystified, almost terrified

But late at night I still hear you call my name



I've been on my own, I've been all alone

I was hypnotized, I felt paralyzed

But late at night I still want you just the same



I've been a gambler, but I'm nobody's fool

And I sure know something, sure know something

You showed me things they never taught me in school

And I sure know something, sure know something

No one can make me feel the way that you do

And I sure know something, aha



I was seventeen, you were just a dream

I was mesmerized, I felt scared inside

You broke my heart and I still can feel the pain



I've been counted out, I've had fear and doubt

I've been starry eyed, never satisfied

'Cause late at night I still need you just the same

Just the same



I've been a gambler, but I'm nobody's fool

And I sure know something, sure know something

You showed me things they never taught me in school

And I sure know something, sure know something

No one can make me feel the way that you do

And I sure know something, aha



I've been counted out, I've had fear and doubt

I've been starry eyed, never satisfied

'Cause late at night I still need you just the same

Just the same, yeah



I've been a gambler, but I'm nobody's fool

And I sure know something, sure know something

You showed me things they never taught me in school

And I sure know something, sure know something

No one can make me feel the way that you do

And I sure know something, sure know something

No one can tell me till I hear it from you

And I sure know something, sure know something

I've been a gambler, but I'm nobody's fool

Sure know something, sure know something

You showed me things they never taught me in school

Sure know something, sure know something

No one can make me feel the way that you do


BETTE MIDLER lyrics - Ready To Begin Again



When my teeth are rinsed in a glass by my bed,

and my hair lies somewhere in a drawer,

you know, the world doesn't seem like a very nice place,

not a very nice place anymore.



But I put in my teeth, and I slap on my hair

and a strange thing occurs when I do,

my teeth start to feel like my very own teeth

and my hair like my very own too.



And I'm ready to begin again.

Ready to begin again.

Reachin' for the soap,

my heart is full o' hope

again, again.



Ready to begin again!

Looking fresh and bright I trust.

Ready to begin again,

as everybody must.


SINEAD O'CONNOR lyrics - Love Hurts



Love hurts, Love scars

Love wounds, and mars any heart

Not tough or stong enough

To take a lot of pain, take a lot of pain

Love is like a cloud, holds a lot of rain

Love hurts......ooh, ooh love hurts



I'm young, I know, But even so

I know a thing or two, and I learned from you

I really learned a lot, really learned a lot

Love is like a flame, it burns you when it's hot

Love hurts......Ooh, ooh love hurts



Some fools think of happiness

Blissfulness, togetherness

Some fools fool themselves I guess

They're not foolin' me



I know it isn't true, I know it isn't true

Love is just a lie, made to make you blue

Love hurts......

Ooh, ooh love hurts, Ooh, ooh love hurts



I know it isn't true, I know it isn't true

Love is just a lie, Made to make you blue

Love hurts......

Ooh, ooh love hurts, Ooh, ooh love hurts


IRON MAIDEN lyrics - Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son



(Harris)



Here they stand brothers them all

All the sons divided they'd fall

Here await the birth of the son

The seventh, the heavenly, the chosen one.



Here the birth from the unbroken line

Born the healer the seventh, his time

Unknowingly blessed and as his life unfolds

Slowly unveiling the power he holds



[Chorus:]

Seventh son of a seventh son [4x]



Then they watch the progress he makes

The Good and the evil which path will he take

Both of them trying to manipulate

The use of his powers before it's too late



[Chorus]



Today is born the seventh one

Born of woman the seventh son

And he in turn of a seventh son

He has the power to heal

He has the gift of the sechond sight

He is the chosen one

So it shall be written

So it shall be done

STYX lyrics - Southern Woman



(James Young, Raymond Brandle)



first met you in a southern town

on a warm November day

you made me smoke like a whirlwind

I knew we had nothing to say

love me but don't try and make me stay



southern woman

take my soul but don't you take my life

southern woman

make me feel good but don't you tell my wife



[guitar solo]



once again in the early spring

I touched your raven's crown

your wild eyed stories of rare delight

like to knock me down

it's getting so damn hard to put you down



southern woman

take my soul but don't you take my life

southern woman

make me feel good but don't you tell my wife



[instrumental solos]



southern woman

take my soul but don't you take my life

southern woman

make me feel good but don't you tell my wife



southern woman

take my soul but don't you take my life

southern woman

make me feel good but don't you tell my wife



southern woman

yeah


THE ROLLING STONES lyrics - Gomper



(Jagger, Richards)



By the lake with lilly flowers

Wallow away the evening hours

To and fro she's gently gliding

On the glassy lake she's riding

She swims to the side

The sun sees her dried

The birds hover high

I'd stifle a cry

The birds hover high

She moans with a sigh

MADONNA lyrics - Something To Remember



Seems I've played the game for much too long

I let people buy my love and I

Never got to sing my songs for you.



I had all my bets laid all on you

Set your stakes too high, you're bound to lose.

In the game of love you pay your dues.



Say that happiness cannot be measured,

And a little pain can bring you all life's little pleasures.

What a joke.



[Chorus:]



I was not your woman, I was not your friend,

But you gave me something to remember.

No other man said love yourself

Nobody else can.

We weren't meant to be,

At least not in this lifetime,

But you gave me something to remember.

I hear you still say, "Love yourself".



I had all my bets laid all on you

Set your stakes too high, you're bound to lose.

In the game of love I've paid my dues.



Guess I'm waiting for my place in your sun,

Wish I had the chance to know you and it wasn't stormy weather.

What a shame, who's to blame?



[chorus]


NEIL DIAMOND lyrics - Santa, Santa



Dear Mr. Claus

My name is Juan

You are well liked

Where I come from

I know how busy you must be

But Santa please remember me

Santa, Santa



Remember the time of year

December is almost here

I live by Cathedral Square

My brothers live also there

They do not believe in you

But please bring them something to

Santa, Santa



Remember the time of year

December is almost here

It's getting late

And I must go

But I would like for you to know

I know you're real

And I believe that you'll be here

On Christmas Eve

Santa, Santa



Remember the time of year

December is almost here

Santa, Santa

Christmas is almost here

Santa, Santa



Remember the time of year

I'll leave a light

We have no fireplace

Santa


FLEETWOOD MAC lyrics - Why



(Christine McVie)



There's no use in crying, it's all over

But I know there'll always be another day

Well my heart will rise up with the morning sun

And the hurt I feel will simply melt away

You make me feel, I just can't carry on

But I know I won't always be that way

'Cos my heart will rise up with the morning sun

And the hurt I feel will simply melt away

You don't have to give up

Why is it all wrong

Why don't you love me

Why won't you just be strong

DOLLY PARTON lyrics - My Tennessee Mountain Home



(Dolly Parton)



Sittin' on the front porch on a summer afternoon

In a straightback chair on two legs, leans against the wall

Watch the kids a' playin' with June bugs on a string

And chase the glowin' fireflies when evenin' shadows fall



[Chorus:]

In my Tennessee mountain home

Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh

In my Tennessee mountain home

Crickets sing in the fields near by



Honeysuckle vine clings to the fence along the lane

Their fragrance makes the summer wind so sweet

And on a distant hilltop, an eagle spreads its wings

An' a songbird on a fence post sings a melody



[Chorus]



Walkin' home from church on a Sunday with the one ya' love

Just laughin', talkin', making future plans

And when the folks ain't lookin', you might steal a kiss or two

Sittin' in the porch swing, holdin' hands



[Chorus]


NAZARETH lyrics - Waiting



Waitin' - got a leash around my neck

Trainin' - I'll never be your pet

Dyin', sighin'

You got me flyin', cryin'



I've been waitin' - standing by your side

Prayin' - tryin' to turn the tide

Spinnin', grinnin'

You got me flyin' high



Waitin' - I've been tryin' to state my case

Racin' - Tryin' to keep it in the chase

Slippin', slidin'

I'm gonna be seekin', findin'



You're strokin', I'm smokin'

Your're playin' and I'm layin' a plan

I'm getting' all the lovin'

I'm getting' all the lovin' I can



You're leadin' me astray

I'm pleadin' - I'm leadin'

You're feedin' - I'm beggin'



Waitin' - seems like all my life

Skatin' - livin' on thin ice

Dreamin', schemin'

You're gonna do me in



Waitin' - When are you gonna come back?

Strung out - You got me on the rack

Duckin', divin'

I'm gonna be midnight drivin'



You're takin', I'm breakin'



I'm shakin' and it's makin' me bad - I'm so sad

I'm reelin' all the feelin'

I'm reelin' all the feelin' I can



I've got to make you stay

You're leavin' - I'm grievin'

You're sellin' - I'm buyin' - you're lyin'



You're prayin' and I'm layin' a plan

I'm gettin' all the lovin'

I'm gettin' all the lovin' I can



You're leadin' me astray

I'm pleadin', I'm needin'

You're feedin', I'm beggin'



I'm shakin' and it's makin' me bad - I'm so sad

I'm reelin' all the feelin'

I'm reelin' all the feelin' I can



I've got to make you stay

You're leavin' - I'm grievin'

You're sellin' - I'm buyin' - you're lyin'


IRVING BERLIN lyrics - The Lord Done Fixed Up My Soul



[Verse:]

I had a mammy for a nurse

When she could not be feeling worse

She'd take her troubles into church

And while the bells were ringing

She'd come out singing



[Refrain:]

The Lord done fixed up my eyes

I see Heaven way up there in the skies

Bless the Lord for fixin' my eyes



The Lord done fixed up my ears

I hear music like I ain't heard in years

Bless the Lord for fixin' my ears



The Lord done fixed up my heart

I got courage now

Ain't afraid somehow



The Lord done fixed up my soul

It was broken and the Lord made it whole

Bless the Lord for makin' my soul whole

Bless the Lord, bless the Lord, bless the Lord



[Patter:]

Down to the river, we'll go down to the river

And we'll wash our sins away

Down to the river and we'll ask the Forgiver

For his praise on Judgment Day

And we'll bless our Lord and say

AC/DC lyrics - Jailbreak



(Young - Young - Scott)



There was a friend of mine on murder

And the judge's gavel fell

Jury found him guilty

Gave him sixteen years in hell

He said "I ain't spending my life here

I ain't living alone

Ain't breaking no rocks on the chain gang

I'm breakin' out and headin' home"



Gonna make a jailbreak

And I'm lookin' towards the sky

I'm gonna make a jailbreak

Oh, how I wish that I could fly



All in the name of liberty

All in the name of liberty

Got to be free



Jailbreak, let me out of here

Jailbreak, sixteen years ah

Jailbreak, had more than I can take

Jailbreak, yeah



He said he'd seen his lady being fooled with

By another man

She was down and he was up

Had a gun in his hand

Bullets started flying everywhere

And people started to scream

Big man lying on the ground

With a hole in his body

Where his life had been



But it was all in the name of liberty

All in the name of liberty

I got to be free



Jailbreak, jailbreak

I got to break out

Out of here



Heartbeats, they were racin'

Freedom, he was chasin'

Spotlights, sirens, rifles firing

But he made it out

With a bullet in his back



Jailbreak, jailbreak

Jailbreak, jailbreak

Jailbreak, jailbreak

Jailbreak, jailbreak

Jailbreak, jailbreak

BADFINGER lyrics - It Had To Be



Had to be, don't look back, you're older

Take it from me

The love you have is stronger



And in your eyes I see myself

I want from you what you want of me

And you know

The love you have is stronger



It had to be, don't look back, you're older

Ahhhhh, ahhhhh



[guitar solo (Pete Ham)]



And in your eyes I see myself

I want from you what you want of me

And you know.

BARBRA STREISAND lyrics - Make The Man Love Me



(D. Fields & A. Schwartz)



I must try to make the man love me

Make the man love me now

By and by I will make the man happy

I know how

He must see how badly I want him

Want him just as he is

And may I say that sure the man ask me

I'll be his

Can I tell the man

Just how dearly blessed we would be

AII the beauty I see so clearly

Oh, why can't he?

So I pray to heaven above me

Pray until day grows dim

For I'll wait to make the man love me

As I love him

For I'll wait to make the make love me

As I love him...

THE CURE lyrics - High



When I see you sky as a kite

As high as I might

I can't get that high

The how you move

The way you burst the clouds

It makes me want to try



When I see you sticky as lips

As licky as trips

I can't lick that far

But when you pout

The way you shout out loud

It makes me want to start

And when I see you happy as a girl

That swims in a world of magic show

It makes me bite my fingers through

To think I could've let you go



And when I see you

Take the same sweet steps

You used to take

I say I'll keep on holding you

My arms so tight

I'll never let you slip away



And when I see you kitten as a cat

Yeah as smitten as that

I can't get that small

Tthe way you fur

The how you purr

It makes me want to paw you all

And when I see you happy as a girl

That lives in a world of make-believe

It makes me pull my hair all out

To think I could've let you leave



And when I see you

Take the same sweet steps

You used to take

I know I'll keep on holding you

In arms so tight

They'll never let you go

REO SPEEDWAGON lyrics - Heavy On Your Love



I'm gettin' heavy on your love

Every night

Gettin' ready for your love

With all of my might

I was crazy for your love

Never stayed around you love

Aw but you make me deadly

I was lost but now I've found

Havin' you around has made me heavy,

Heavy on your love.



Heavy on your love,

Old enough to wait

Got a letter full of love

And it's just about to break

Cause my love was never real

I could touch but never feel

Ah, but you make me deadly



I was lost but now I've found

Havin' you around has made me heavy,

Heavy on your love
